- 요약This dissertation comprises three essays in international economics. Chapter I examines how the trade credit extended by exporters affects the degree of exchange rate pass-through into export prices. Chapter II investigates how state ownership shapes the transmission of international shocks through financial channels. Chapter III explores the determinants of firms' trade credit adjustments in response to foreign real shocks. In Chapter I "Bank Loans, Trade Credit and Export Prices: Evidence from Exchange Rate Shocks in China", George Cui, Leticia Juarez and I examine how trade credit and bank loans shape firms' exchange rate pass-through. Using a rich dataset that combines Chinese customs transaction records with firm-level balance sheet information from 2000 to 2011, we show that exporters who more intensively extend trade credit to buyers exhibit more complete pass-through of exchange rate movements into export prices. We further document that trade credit usage is positively correlated with firms' reliance on bank loans, and that interest rates on these loans tend to decrease when the domestic currency depreciates. To explain these findings, we build a theoretical model in which exporters constrained by working capital simultaneously rely on bank borrowing and extend trade credit. In this setting, home currency depreciation lowers default risk, reduces financing costs, and strengthens pass-through. By endogenizing the firm-specific interest rate through default risk, the model identifies a new channel through which financial structures influence the dynamics of exchange rate pass-through.In Chapter II "State Ownership and the Transmission of International Shocks", George Cui, Yuyao Wu and I investigate whether state-owned enterprises (SOEs) act as stabilizers in response to international demand shocks. Using firm-level data from China between 1998 and 2011, we find that SOEs were more responsive to foreign demand during the pre-crisis boom (2000-2007), but significantly less so during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. This asymmetry suggests that SOEs may act as macroeconomic stabilizers by sustaining activity in downturns. We link this pattern to the presence of soft budget constraints: SOEs face lower financing costs and enjoy greater debt capacity during recessions, which allows them to maintain operations when credit conditions tighten. We develop a theoretical model with asymmetric information and government bailouts to formalize this mechanism. The model demonstrates how state ownership modifies the transmission of global shocks through differential access to external financing and the role of endogenous information frictions.Chapter III "Trade Credit and International Trade Shocks" studies how firms optimally adjust trade credit provision in the face of foreign real shocks. As trade credit operates at the intersection of finance and supply chains, this chapter asks whether upstream firms extend more credit to help downstream partners navigate adverse conditions, or whether higher default risks instead lead to tighter credit. Leveraging a comprehensive dataset of Chinese manufacturing firms, I employ a shift-share design to construct exogenous firm-level exposure to global demand and supply shocks. The empirical analysis reveals that larger firms provide less responsive trade credit when facing foreign shocks, consistent with their ability to flexibly reallocate exports and imports across global production networks. To account for these findings, I build a heterogeneous firm model incorporating destination-specific trade credit shares and working capital constraints. The model shows how credit allocation depends on the institutional quality of export markets and the trade-off between risk-sharing and credit constraints, helping to explain the heterogeneous trade credit responses observed in the data.
