摘要:We study the effectiveness of target reserve requirements (RR) for large versus small banks for macroeconomic stabilization. Such policy was implemented in China during the global financial crisis in 2008 and again during its 2018 slowdown and the COVID-19 pandemic periods. In our model, firms with idiosyncratic productivity borrow from two types of banks—local or national—to finance working capital and faces a credit spread stemming from equilibrium defaults. National banks face lower funding costs, while local banks have better monitoring technologies. Since switching banks incurs a fixed cost, firms would switch banks only if they face large shocks. This environment creates room for stabilizing policies through targeted RR adjustments. In particular, with sufficiently large shocks, an asymmetric feedback rule with differential RR adjustments is more effective for macroeconomic stabilization than a symmetric policy rule. Our analysis complements recent policy discussions concerning disparate capital requirements for large and small banks based on macro-prudential motivations.
