This thesis could not have been written without the instruction, inspiration, guidance and encouragement these people offered me. First I would like to present my special thanks to my supervisor, Dr Zhichao Zhang, who spent countless hours in guiding me. He taught me how to become an academic researcher, and on the occasions when I felt lost, he set me once again on the right path. I am truly fortunate to have had such a first-class and inspirational scholar as my supervisor and role model. I also wish to thank my co-supervisor, Dr Xiaogang Che, who provided generous help and suggestions for my research. Working with these creative academicians has shown me how to become a serious, independent, and responsible scholar, and built a solid foundation for my future career. Without them, I would have been unable to accomplish this project. I am deeply grateful to them, and to the University of Durham. Over the last few years I have travelled a long way, both in geographical space, and in I my development as a scholar. Without the love and encouragement of my parents, I could never have come so far. For years they have supported me, both financially and emotionally, offering unconditional love and blessings. Thousands of miles away from them, I channelled my nostalgia and homesickness into a determination to complete this project. Whenever I met obstacles in any aspect of my life, I remembered that my beloved parents were waiting for me, and this thought sustained me through all difficulties. Finally, I want to express my gratitude to my friends and colleagues. Their invaluable help sustained me and pushed me towards success. There must be special thanks for my close friend, Yao Zhang. Having known each other for over a decade, we have witnessed many significant moments in each other’s lives. As she, too, will finish her graduate study this year, I send her my sincere good wishes for the bright future she deserves. Z. Qu II Income Diversification of Chinese Banks: Performance, Risk and Efficiency Zhixian Qu PhD (Economics) St Aidan’s College June 2018 Abstract This research contributes to the debate on the effects of diversification in the banking industry, and provides a comprehensive analysis of how the diversification- performance, diversification-risk and diversification-efficiency nexus are affected when banks move into non-traditional businesses. The research first examines to what extent income diversification can affect performance in the Chinese banking industry in terms of profitability. Results showing that in the Chinese banking sector as a whole there exists a diversification discount, suggesting that a shift from traditional banking business to mixed business lines negatively affects bank performance. Following the discussion of profitability, we move the focus to the issue of stability. By adopting the first-differenced GMM estimator for the dynamic threshold panel data model, we get results showing that there exists an inverse U-shaped relation between diversification level and risk in the Chinese banking industry. Income diversification will reduce bank risk only after the bank has passed a certain threshold of income diversification. This pattern of relationship seems to be driven mainly by the learn-by- doing effect and the mitigation of agency problems, which result from the expansion of non-interest activities. Finally, this thesis analyses the efficiency implications of the trend towards greater income diversification. We use a two-step approach by adopting within maximum likelihood estimation (WMLE) and dynamic Tobit model to estimate banks’ efficiency scores and regresses those scores with banks’ diversification indicators. We find that for the overall Chinese banking sector, income diversification has an efficiency- destroying effect. This thesis provides a good reference for bank managers and policy makers to better understand and treat non-interest income in China’s banking market. Our results also have fundamental and useful implications for bank managers and policy authorities seeking to enhance the performance and efficiency of Chinese banks under the condition of maintaining financial stability in Chinese financial system.

  • Issuance Overpricing of China's Corporate Debt Securities
    Internet Appendix for “Issuance Overpricing of China’s Corporate Debt Securities” Yi Ding Wei Xiong Jinfan Zhang In this Internet Appendix, we report the following figures, tables, and additional analyses omitted from the main paper. Fig. A1 depicts debt security issuance across the interbank market and the exchange market from 2009 to 2019. In Table A1, we list the 68 licensed underwriters in the interbank market at the end of 2019. Information on underwriters is obtained from NAFMII. In Table A2, we summarize overpricing for CP and MTNs separately for both before and after the rebate ban period. Although the magnitude declined after the ban for both CP and MTNs, overpricing remains statistically significantly. Taken together, we find significant overpricing in all these issuance categories. In Table A3, we report summary statistics of issuance overpricing by using excess returns of the first secondary-market trading day as the overpricing measure. The table shows that the overpricing is robust across time, debt securities, and issuers with different characteristics, consistent with Table 3 in the main paper. In Tables A4 and A5, we conduct difference-in-difference analyses to examine how the underwriter rebate ban affects the excess return across different issuers and across different underwriters. Consistent with results in Tables 5 and 6 of the main paper from using the yield-spread measure, these tables show that after the ban, the drop in overpricing is significantly greater for securities issued by central SOEs than for those issued by other firms, and the drop in overpricing is significantly smaller for issuances underwritten by the Big Four banks.

  • China's Banking System: Issues for Congress
    China’s Banking System: Issues for Congress Michael F. Martin Specialist in Asian Affairs February 20, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42380 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress China’s Banking System: Issues for Congress Summary China’s banking system has been gradually transformed from a centralized, government-owned and government-controlled provider of loans into an increasingly competitive market in which different types of banks, including several U.S. banks, strive to provide a variety of financial services. Only three banks in China remain fully government-owned; most banks have been transformed into mixed ownership entities in which the central or local government may or may not be a major equity holder in the bank. The main goal of China’s financial reforms has been to make its banks more commercially driven in their operations. However, China’s central government continues to wield significant influence over the operations of many Chinese banks, primarily through the activities of the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC), and the Ministry of Finance (MOF). In addition, local government officials often attempt to influence the operations of Chinese banks. Despite the financial reforms, allegations of various forms of unfair or inappropriate competition have been leveled against China’s current banking system. Some observers maintain that China’s banks remain under government-control, and that the government is using the banks to provide inappropriate subsidies and assistance to selected Chinese companies. Others claim that Chinese banks are being afforded preferential treatment by the Chinese government, given them an unfair competitive advantage over foreign banks trying to enter China’s financial markets.
