Uncertainty Shocks to Oil Prices and Chinese Firm-Level Investment
本次能源經濟學研討會邀請到中央財經大學經濟學院俞劍博士做學術演講。 時間:11月16日,星期三,12:00—13:30
地點:中國人民大學明德主樓729會議室
報告摘要: We investigate the response of Chinese firm-level investment to oil price uncertainty shocks, using an annual micro survey panel over the period 1999-2007. Both panel regressions and panel-data vector auto-regressions show that uncertainty shocks to oil prices hamper investment of Chinese manufacturing firms. The results are more pronounced when we allow for more heterogeneity in capital depreciation rates to compute firm-level investment, thus indicating the necessity to incorporate idiosyncratic depreciation in measuring micro-level investment. We also find that oil price uncertainty shocks only depress investment of privately- and foreign-owned firms, yet not hindering that of state- and collectively-owned firms. Further exploration suggests a more policy-oriented feature for investment of state- and collectively-owned firms, which helps to explain their queer responses to some exogenous market-originated factors like oil price uncertainty shocks.
