Financial market reform – A new driver for China’s economic growth?

Abstract: This paper analyses the financial distortions – growth
nexus in China using a tractable general equilibrium modelling approach in
which heterogeneous private and state-owned firms interact. The focal
points of the model are financial frictions and reallocations of factors of
production across firms. The calibrated version of the model elicits the
important message that the adoption of a comprehensive financial market
reform package abolishing financial distortions will lead to substantial
output gains. Thus, structural policies leading to more efficient
allocation of factors of production will remain a key policy challenge in
China in the years to come.
