| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We focus on municipal borrowings from private financial institutions and examine the following hypotheses. (i) In regions where there are few commercial banks, interest rates increase due to oligopolies; (ii) public funds, managed by the Ministry of Finance Japan and Japan Finance Organization for Municipalities, counteracts commercial banks and alleviates harmful effects due to oligopoly.
Through official information disclosure and voluntary information provision request, we collect the conditions for municipal borrowings and conduct the empirical analysis. The empirical results support the above hypotheses. Especially, competitive bidding is effective, it is shown that the interest rate will drop by 1.28 bps if one private financial institution participating in bidding.
