6. 摘要:In the recent financial crisis, macroeconomic stimuli produced mixed results across developed economies.
In contrast, China's stimulus boosted real GDP growth from an annualized 6.2% in the first quarter
of 2009 trough to 11.9% in the first quarter of 2010. Amidst this phenomenal response, land auction
and house prices in major cities soared. We argue that the speed and efficacy of China's stimulus derives
from state control over its banking system and corporate sector. Beijing ordered state-owned banks
to lend, and they lent. Beijing ordered centrally-controlled state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to invest,
and they invested. However, our data show that much of this investment was highly leveraged purchases
of real estate. Residential land auction prices in eight major cities rose about 100% in 2009, controlling
for quality variation. Moreover, higher price rises occur these SOEs are more active buyers. We argue
that these centrally-controlled SOEs overbid substantially, fueling a real estate bubble; and that China's
seemingly highly effective macroeconomic stimulus package may well have induced costly resource
misallocation.
