讲座内容摘要:
Abstract: This study examines the sources of the scarring effect of capital misallocation across sectors in the aftermath of a recession, utilizing Indonesian firm-level data spanning from 2002 to 2014. Leveraging the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC) as an exogenous shock, we employ a Difference-in-Differences (DiD) approach to assess how capital misallocation responded, particularly comparing capital-intensive and labor-intensive industries. Our results show a significant post-GFC increase in capital misallocation within capital-intensive industries relative to labor-intensive ones. The results also underscore the usefulness of labor-intensive industries as a control group to absorb common shocks in all sectors. To quantify the contribution of factors driving the observed rise in misallocation, we further apply the decomposition method proposed by David and Venkateswaran (2019). The findings indicate that correlated distortions were the primary contributor to the post-GFC increase in misallocation (58%). Surprisingly, adjustment costs and uncertainty played only minimal role. These insights highlight the pivotal role of industry capital intensity and correlated distortions in shaping the persistent increase of capital misallocation following a recession, offering critical insights for policies aimed at mitigating its long-term economic impact.
本研究探讨经济衰退后跨行业资本错配的长期影响来源,利用2002年至2014年印尼企业层面的数据进行分析。我们以2008年全球金融危机(GFC)作为外生冲击,采用双重差分(DiD)方法评估资本错配的变化,重点比较资本密集型行业与劳动密集型行业的差异。研究结果表明,相较于劳动密集型行业,资本密集型行业在金融危机后资本错配显著增加且持续了至少六年。此外,结果也表明,劳动密集型行业作为控制组,可以吸收各行业的共同冲击。为了量化导致资本错配上升的因素,我们进一步采用David 和 Venkateswaran(2019)提出的分解方法。研究发现,正相关于企业生产率的扭曲是金融危机后资本错配增加的主要原因(占比58%),而调整成本和不确定性影响较小。这些发现凸显了行业资本密集度与相关性扭曲在经济衰退后资本错配持续增加中的关键作用,为制定缓解其长期经济影响的政策提供了重要参考。
