活动简介：

We use detailed job posting data and adopt a fuzzy regression discontinuity design (RDD) to examine changes in skill demand around the 2015 A-share stock market crash in China caused by deleveraging fire sales from speculative investors, not firm fundamentals. We find that firms with adverse price changes shift skill composition downward as high-skill workers demand higher wage premiums, especially in locations where they have more bargaining power. More adversely affected firms also cut their technology investments and have lower productivity and sales growth. Our findings suggest that the stock market has real impacts and is far from a sideshow.
