【Abstract】
We provide a novel empirical finding that the recent anti-corruption investigations in China are associated with credit reallocation from state-owned enterprises (SOE) to privately-owned, non-SOE firms. Our evidence suggests that industry specific competition effect dominates the contagion effect for non-SOE peers. This credit reallocation effect is more concentrated in short-term debt versus long-term debt and in bank loans versus corporate bonds, with higher investment efficiency and market share. The credit shifting towards non-SOE firms is also consistent with a supply-side explanation that we corroborate using an exogenous shock to the banking industry. Our findings imply that the anti-corruption campaign in China is beneficial to the economy due to more efficient credit allocation.
