摘要：In this research, we investigate the determinants of credit rationing in China, taking full advantage of a firm level survey data from World Bank. In our identification mechanism of credit rationing, we not only exclude firms without bank loan demand but also classify credit rationing into two types: self-rationing where firms are discouraged to submit a loan application and bank-rationing where firms‘ applications are turned down by the banks. We apply the probit model with censoring to account for the potential selection bias problem caused by non-random nature of our credit rationed sample. We find: (1) Nearly half of the potential borrowers were credit rationed, of which about two thirds was due to self-rationing and one third was due to bank-rationing; (2) The reason for why SOEs seem to have advantage in obtaining bank loan is not purely due to the ownership superiority but that SOEs are mostly large in size and SMEs are more likely to be credit rationed than large firms in each measure (3)Firms with better profitability performance face lower likelihood to be rationed in each measure, while profitability is not important in bank‘s lending decision for SMEs; (4) Government‘s help in obtaining bank loans importantly influences bank loan allocation, which aggravates SME‘s disadvantage in formal finance as government provides more support for large firms; (5) Financial development helps more firms to obtain bank loans while it benefits SMEs only if financial marketization reaches a certain degree.
