The International Transmission of Financial Shocks: The Case of Japan

Abstract: One of the more dramatic financial events of the late 1980s and early 1990s was the surge in Japanese stock prices that was immediately followed by a very sharp decline of more than 50 percent. While the unprecedented fluctuations in Japanese stock prices were domestic financial shocks, the unique institutional characteristics of the Japanese economy produce a framework that is particularly suited to the transmission of such shocks to other countries through the behavior of the Japanese banking system.

“…The rationale for this alternative definition is straightforward. Banking crises disrupt the supply of credit (Bernanke andGertler, 1987, Van Den Heuvel, 2006, Valencia, forthcoming, andothers) and these disruptions to the supply of credit can have important real effects because some borrowers cannot substitute bank loans with alternative funding sources (Peek and Rosengren, 1997;Ashcraft, 2005;Laeven and Valencia, 2013, and others). In essence, by looking at declines in credit growth in conjunction with negative GDP growth, we look for evidence of the two main implications of banking crises.…”

“…The various transmission mechanisms for contagion can be broadly broken into contagion through trade channels (which include direct trade, competition in third markets, and changes in import prices), financial channels (including through bank lending and portfolio flows), and "country similarities" (such as a shared regional location or similar economic characteristics). Glick and Rose (1999), Forbes (2002), and Abeysinghe and Forbes (2005) focus on contagion through trade, while Peek and Rosengreen (1997), Kaminsky, Lyons, and Schmukler (2001), and Broner, Gelos, and Reinhart (2006) focus on the role of financial linkages. Van Rijckeghem and…”

“…Second, Japanese banks increasingly have focused on lending for domestic purposes (Peek andRosengren 1997, 2000), both because of banking regulations that forced banks to shrink and because the government used moral suasion to encourage domestic lending to avoid a credit crunch. Third, while the Japanese bond market has begun to develop (Hoshi and Kashyap 2000), bank lending remains a very important source of debt financing, even for relatively large firms.…”
