Summary:
To facilitate China's industrial green transformation and meet its dual-carbon targets, the People's Bank of China has introduced a suite of monetary and macro-prudential policies. These policies aim to align with the “dual-pillar” policy objectives and include using green loans and bonds as eligible collateral in monetary operations, creating carbon reduction tools, supporting clean coal utilization, and integrating green finance into MPA assessments. However, the inclusion of green transformation goals within these policy frameworks remains controversial. This study incorporates various dual-pillar policies into a DSGE model to analyze their impacts on industrial green transformation and the mechanisms underlying this impact. It thus lays the theoretical groundwork for a dual-pillar framework aligned with carbon neutrality. This study makes three key contributions. (1) We innovatively introduce liquidity coverage ratio constraints on the banking sector into the model, providing a theoretical framework for the central bank's evaluation of liquidity constraint policies. (2) We quantitatively compare the effectiveness of different dual-pillar policies on industrial green transformation and clarify the transmission mechanisms of these policies by integrating refinancing policy, differential reserve requirement ratio policy, differential liquidity coverage ratio constraint policy, differential risk-weighted asset policy, and central bank reserve asset allocation policy into a unified theoretical framework. (3) We conduct an expanded analysis of both countercyclical and normalized structural dual-pillar policies to assess their impacts on macroeconomics and industrial green transformation. We compare the welfare losses of residents under various exogenous shocks when different dual-pillar policies are coordinated and integrated. This research provides insights into the development of a dynamic dual-pillar policy framework aligned with carbon neutrality goals. The findings of this paper are as follows. (1) Refinancing, differential reserve requirement ratio, and liquidity coverage ratio policies guide credit allocation by reducing the banking sector's financing costs. The effectiveness of a refinancing policy hinges on the refinancing rate, the impact of a differential reserve requirement ratio policy is contingent upon the statutory reserve requirement rate, and the efficacy of a liquidity coverage ratio constraint policy is determined by the excess reserve requirement rate. By adjusting the intensity of these three types of policies, their impacts on industrial green transformation can be standardized. (2) A differential risk-weighted asset policy primarily guides industrial structural adjustments through financial leverage, which often leads to significant fluctuations in asset prices. The impact of such a policy on industrial green transformation is typically smaller than that of the refinancing, differential reserve requirement ratio, and liquidity coverage ratio policies. (3) The central bank reserve asset allocation policy often leads to competition with the financial sector in the financial market, resulting in a decrease in the credit scale allocated by banks to the green industry; consequently, the impact of the central bank reserve asset allocation policy on industrial green transformation is relatively minor. (4) Introducing countercyclical structural policies during economic and financial cycles can effectively promote industries' green transformation and improve residents' welfare. Importantly, however, long-term structural policies may have negative impacts on residents' welfare. Based on these findings, several policy recommendations are proposed. (1) The refinancing, differential reserve requirement ratio, and liquidity coverage ratio constraint policies exhibit strong substitutability; when one policy is constrained, monetary authorities can consider using the other two policies as substitutes. Additionally, policymakers can enhance the effectiveness of these policies by lowering the refinancing, statutory reserve requirement, and excess reserve requirement rates, respectively. While risk-weighted asset and central bank reserve asset allocation policies have substantial impacts on the total credit scale, their influence on industrial structural transformation is minor; accordingly, central banks should implement these policies cautiously. (2) During economic downturns, policy authorities can increase support for green industries by implementing loose monetary policies. Conversely, during economic upturns, authorities can prioritize tightening policies on brown industries by executing contractionary monetary policies. (3) Establishing dynamic policy mechanisms to mitigate the adverse welfare impacts of structural policies is also recommended to ensure sustainable economic development.
