论文简介
在当前全球民粹主义盛行、中美摩擦加剧、反全球化的大背景下,本文利用30国家的家庭债务数据研究了在民粹主义的政府领导下,家庭债务水平的变化,本文发现当民粹的领导者在位时,家庭倾向持有更少债务,接着,本文探索了背后的机制,发现左翼和右翼民粹政府通过不同机制影响家庭负债水平,其中,左翼民粹政府会使民众消费下降,进而减少家庭的借贷需求,而右翼民粹政府则会通过增加政府负债,进而对家庭负债产生挤兑效应,此外,左右翼民粹政府均会降低银行借贷的意愿,使得民众更难从银行借款,本研究补充了民粹政府可能产生的经济影响,拓展了相关文献的研究边界,研究结果对当前反全球化的大背景下可能产生的经济后果,具有积极参考价值。
This study examines the effects of populism on household debt in 30 countries. Using a newly developed database of populist leaders, we observe that populism has a significantly negative effect on household debt, that is, households tend to hold less debt when populist leaders are in office than when non-populist ones are in office. We explore potential channels for this phenomenon. We observe that left-wing populism diminishes household debt by reducing household consumption while right-wing populism diminishes household debt by increasing public debt. Both types of populism decrease household debt by reducing lenders’ willingness to lend. Overall, our results suggest that populism is an important factor in explaining household debt dynamics.
