Abstract:The phenomenon of shadow banking has received great attention from academia, and its rapid development is driven by both supply and demand. Therefore, the investment and financing activities of shadow banking enterprises are correspondingly divided into enterprises’ shadow banking and enterprises’ shadow banking financing, however,how to accurately identify and measure shadow banking is a key scientific issue in the research. The measurements of shadow banking are scattered in various empirical studies. Based on literature review, existing research finds that, unlike shadow banking at the macro level, which is easy to observe and statistically analyze, the measurements of shadow banking and shadow banking financing of non-financial enterprises in China are generally inaccurate, incomplete, and difficult to identify, which have affected the supervision and development of shadow banking business. In view of this, this paper attempts to use the residual method and the reverse method to measure shadow banking business, which provides methodology for shadow banking measurement at the micro level and promotes the research on the economic consequences of shadow banking. |
