Abstract: Using data from a large Chinese bank, we find that daily stock market performance has a significant effect on the decision making of loan officers in a manner difficult to reconcile with rational choice theory. A one standard deviation increase in daily stock market volatility leads to approved loans having a 5.3% lower probability of entering distress, a 5.6% increase in loan size, and increase in the borrowing firm's credit scores. We explore a range of potential mechanism and find the most support for stock market volatility leading to an increase in the contemporaneous risk aversion of loan officers.
