Abstract

This paper study the impact of the sovereign debt inflows on China firms through the event study approach, exploiting the announcement of China inclusion into the J.P Morgan GBI-EM index. It shows that sovereign debt inflow shocks significantly reduce the local currency sovereign bond yields and appreciate the domestic currency, and further heterogenously affect H-share listed firms. This study shed novel light on the channels through which inflow shocks transmit to domestic firms in China.
