Financial liberalization, Capital marketDownloadContentSummaryThis paper explores the joint effect of aggregate productivity shocks and capital market liberalization on the optimal bailout (or liquidation) policy of banks towards defaulted borrowers. It suggests that in bad times both good and bad firms default on their obligations, it is harder for the bank to distinguish between the two and therefore it is less costly to bail out defaulted firms. Therefore, the optimal liquidation rate in a closed economy may be substantially lower in recessions than in booms. In an economy with open capital markets, however, the corporate rate of return has to be raised at least up to the world rate of interest by improving the composition of the corporate sector through higher liquidation in order to prevent an outflow of capital and the subsequent financial crisis. As a result, the optimal liquidation rate (bailout rate) during recessions may be much higher (lower) in an economy with liberalized capital markets than in a closed economy. The model in this paper explains why liquidation rates of defaulted firms have risen significantly and structural reform to facilitate more liquidation has been pursued after the financial crisis in those East Asian countries with more liberalized capital markets. -

Economic reformDownloadContentSummaryExecutive SummaryThis paper analyzes the financial reform in China, given the characteristics of the transition economy. The Chinese financial system has certain characteristics including an overly rapid expansion of credit, a bank-dominated financial system, weak central bank regulation and supervision of commercial banks, and a massive buildup of non-performing loans (NPLs). The Chinese financial sector has accumulated a huge number of NPLs. This is because i) banks are in charge of state projects in place of the fiscal system, and ii) financial institutions give loans to money-losing enterprises. China needs a coordinated reform of its financial, enterprise, and fiscal systems. (The rest is omitted.) -

Since the Uruguay Round (UR) of the most recent multilateral trade negotiations, there have been substantial shift and spread of interests from lowering tariff on manufacturing goods to reducing other barriers (nontariff as well as tariff) related to trade in agricultural products, services, intellectual properties and investment. The implementation of tariff concessions in the UR began in 1995 with the establishment of the WTO and was completed with some exceptions by January 1, 1999. Now we expect the launch of another round of multilateral trade negotiations, so called the New Round, for additional trade liberalizations in the near future. (The rest is omitted.)
