Fear of war: Geopolitical risks and the potential impact on local government bonds, stock market and FDI in China
This study investigates the impact of Taiwan Strait-related geopolitical risk on local government bonds, stock market and FDI in the Chinese mainland. Using data from 10,983 bonds, we find that increased geopolitical risks are associated with higher credit spreads. Provinces with higher FDI and greater foreign trade dependence, short-term bonds, and secondary market trading are more strongly affected. A case study demonstrates that geopolitical risk has an immediate and persistent impact on spreads, peaking within one month and gradually declining afterward. Moreover, heightened geopolitical risk negatively affects provincial FDI inflows and the stock returns of state-owned enterprises.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
