The quantitative data used throughout this study are broken into three main databases: Annual Database, Quarterly Database, and Time Series-Cross Section Database. Because no one has attempted to construct three separate financial data sets on China, I had to draw from numerous primary sources from the Chinese government to construct these data sets. This discussion details the structure and the sources of each of the databases in turn.
Annual Database contains national level economic data from 1978 to 2006 and is a time-series data set. The data set includes data on lending, bank deposits, inflation, industrial output, fixed-asset investment, and interest rates. The main sources of this data set are:
National Bureau of Statistics. 1999. Xin Zhongguo Wushinian Tongji Ziliao Huibian (A Collection of Statistical Material for the Fifty Years of New China). Beijing: China Statistics Press.
National Bureau of Statistics. 2000. China Monthly Economic Indicators 2000: 1 (January). Beijing: China Statistical Press.
National Bureau of Statistics. 2001. China Monthly Economic Indicators 2001: 3 (March). Beijing: China Statistical Press.
National Bureau of Statistics. 2003. China Monthly Economic Indicators 2003: 2 (February). Beijing: China Statistical Press.
China Data Online. 2006. China Yearly Macro-economy Statistics. China Data Center, University of Michigan. http://www.chinadataonline.org.
More specific data on banks come from:
