    Abstract

    This paper studies the bank risk-taking behavior in response to changes in monetary policy. We use loan transactions data from China to ascertain banks’ lending decisions in terms of whether they lend more to riskier firms when reserve requirements are loosened or tightened. We find that banks issue more loans to riskier firms when reserve requirements are lowered. We add to this debate by studying whether bank funding structure makes a difference to their lending decisions. We find that banks with higher capital and banks that use Wealth Management Products (WMPs) excessively, engage more in risky lending following monetary loosening, as WMPs always cost more than deposit funding. These results are robust using a difference-in-differences analysis, variables for intensive and extensive margins and an alternative variable for bank risk taking.
