【主题】Small banks and innovation: Evidence from banking deregulation in China  
【点评】张杰 中国人民大学经济学院教授  
【摘要】In contrast to large banks, small banks can act as an important engine to promote local innovation. Using a detailed city-level bank branching dataset between 2006 and 2011, we find evidence that cities with more branches of small banks enjoy more patents of both invention and not-invention generated by industrial firms. Consistent with the view of small banks, we further find that the entry of joint stock banks has a larger effect on stimulating innovation, than that of city commercial banks, while the entry of large state-owned banks has a negative effect. We also find the relationship between the new branches of small banks and local patenting displays an inverted-U shape, indicating the effect of over-competition between banks. Finally, we verify that the effect of small banks on local patents is more pronounced when small banks have lent more to small-and-medium-sized enterprises.
