Abstract：

Following China’s entrance into the WTO, Chinese banks faced more competition from foreign financial institutions and the regulation authority (CBRC) strengthened risk regulation and supervision in commercial banks. These changes in market competition and regulation requirement offered plausibly exogenous shocks to the banking sector, and trigged a series of performance incentive policies on loan officers for many Chinese banks in order to improve competition and loan quality. This study aims to estimate the impact of performance incentives on risk-taking and lending decisions by employing a unique branch level dataset. We first show that performance incentives significantly decrease non-performing ratio (NPR), while explicit and implicate incentives, money and non-money based incentives generate different effects. Second, performance incentives lead to larger average loan size and lower origination to small and medium enterprises and credit loan, indicating more use of hard information and less of soft information in lending decisions. Third, performance incentives lead to shorter average loan maturity, indicating weaker motivation in risk-taking. Finally, effects of incentives varies according to the competitiveness of loan officers' salary, the internal communication cost and contract enforcement power. Our results highlight whether and how incentives affect risk-taking and information use

in bank lending.
