|**
||
*Ugo Panizza (Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva)*
Abstract: We use firm-level data to analyze international bond issuance by Chinese non-financial corporations. The interest rate differential between domestic and foreign interest rates increases the likelihood of dollar bond issuance by risky firms. Most strikingly, risky firms do more interfirm lending than non-risky firms. This lending rose significantly after the authorities sought to restrict the financial activities of risky firms in 2008-09. Risky firms try to boost profitability by engaging in speculative activities that mimic the behavior of financial institutions while escaping prudential regulation that limits risk-taking by financial firms.

|*“Simultaneous Multilateral Search”*|
||
Abstract: This paper studies simultaneous multilateral search (SMS) in over-the-counter (OTC) markets: when searching, an investor contacts several potential counterparties and then trades with the one offering the best quote. Search intensity (how frequently one can search) and search capacity (how many potential counterparties one can contact) affect market qualities differently. Contrasting SMS to bilateral bargaining (BB), the model shows that investors might favor BB over SMS if search intensity is high or in distress. Such preference for BB hurts allocative efficiency and suggests an intrinsic hindrance in the adoption of all-to-all and request-for-quote type of electronic trading in OTC markets.
