  • Conglomeration Unbound: the Origins and Globally Unparalleled Structures of Multi-Sector Chinese Corporate Groups Controlling Large Financial Companies
    CONGLOMERATION UNBOUND: THE ORIGINS AND GLOBALLY UNPARALLELED STRUCTURES OF MULTI-SECTOR CHINESE CORPORATE GROUPS CONTROLLING LARGE FINANCIAL COMPANIES XIAN WANG, ROBERT W. GREENE & YAN YAN* ABSTRACT Unlike other major financial markets, Mainland China is home to many mixed conglomerates that control a range of large financial and non-financial firms. This Article examines the Leninist origins of these financial-commercial conglomerates (“FCCs”), and how legal and policy changes in the 1980s and 1990s enabled FCC growth during the 2000s. An underexplored topic of research, Mainland China’s FCCs are mostly not subject to group-wide regulation and this Article finds that due to complex ownership structures brought about, in part, by legal ambiguity, potential risks these entities pose to financial markets can be unclear to regulators—in 2019, issues at one FCC-controlled bank ultimately sparked market-wide distress. Using a dataset built by the authors, this Article estimates that by 2017, FCC-controlled companies accounted for thirteen to nineteen percent of Mainland China’s commercial banking assets, over one- * Xian Wang is an Associate Dean at the National Institute of Financial Research in the People’s Bank of China School of Finance at Tsinghua University.

  • An Analysis of Chengdu's Position in the Global Economy Report
    ‘GLOBAL CHENGDU’: AN ANALYSIS OF CHENGDU’S POSITION IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY REPORT to the City of Chengdu September 2018 Prof. Dr. Ben Derudder Prof. Dr. Kathy Pain Executive summary The last decades witnessed the rise of an intensely interconnected world in which cities are seen to play an important role. This has led to new policy and research questions focusing on how key cities are positioned in the global economy. Against this backdrop, in this report we: (1) present an analysis of Chengdu’s connectivity profile in the global economy by making use of the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) research network’s operational database for researching cities at the global scale; (2) present a grounded interpretation of this profile based on fieldwork and site visits in Chengdu in August 2018; (3) and, drawing on the above, present a set of tailored policy recommendations for strategically enhancing Chengdu’s global connectivity. GaWC’s approach to the understanding of cities’ position in the global economy is unique in that (1) it is grounded in state-of-the-art scientific research, (2) has been corroborated by earlier policy research for major cities (including Sydney and Abu Dhabi) and global urban stakeholders (including MasterCard and CBRE), (3) advances a unique relational perspective on how cities are positioned and evolve, and (4) combines systematic quantitative analysis (firm network analysis-based examinations of cities in the global economy) with in-depth qualitative analysis (interview-based examinations of how cities fit into the location strategies of global firms). Using the central importance of producer service firms in the creation of global urban economies, GaWC identifies the work carried out in their office networks across cities as the constituents of a ‘world city network’.

  • Financial Networks and Systemic Risk in China's Banking System
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Financial Networks and Systemic Risk in China’s Banking System Sun, Lixin CER, Shandong University 6 January 2018 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/90658/ MPRA Paper No. 90658, posted 21 Dec 2018 14:41 UTC Financial Networks and Systemic Risk in China’s Banking System Lixin Sun1 Abstract: In this paper, using two alternative methods, we investigate the contagion effects and systemic risk in China’s commercial banks system based on the balance sheet data and the estimation on interbank exposures. First, we calculate various indicators in terms of the balance sheets of individual commercial banks to quantify contagiousness and vulnerability for China’s banking system without considering the detailed topology of interbank networks. Second, we estimate the detailed bilateral exposures matrix of the interbank network to examine the domino effects and snowball effects of financial contagion. The simulation results from two alternative approaches are consistent. Both suggest that the contagious risk arising from an assumed bank failure is trivial in Chinese banking system, whereas the amplification effects of the losses due to the financial interlinkage are non-trivial. In particular, we identify the systemic important banks in terms of a relative contagion index and the measures capturing the topological features of the interbank networks, respectively. Our study provides insights for the prevention of systemic risk and the implementation of macroprudential oversights in China’s banking system.
