Abstract
En 中文
We provide firm-level evidence that reduced availability shadow banking financing affects firms’ employment decisions. Using China’s 2017 shadow banking regulations as an exogenous shock to constrain the availability of shadow banking, we find that the employment level and the ratio of highly skilled employees in affected firms significantly decrease after the regulations are instituted. The plausible underlying channels in response are intensification of financial constraints and reduction of R&D investment. The effects are more pronounced for non-state-owned enterprises, labor-intensive firms, and firms in provinces that are more dependent on shadow banking. Furthermore, affected firms strategically adopt outsourcing of their human resources, but the firms’ employment changes still harm their financial performance and total factor productivity.
