Abstract

Based on the data from the Rural Urban Migration in China 2009, this paper explores the effects of social networks on household debt defaults. Furthermore,we use immigrants’ communication expenses and the ranking of their brothers and sisters to deal with the possible endogenous bias and draw some conclusions after robustness tests. Our analysis suggests that the effects of social networks belong to immigrants on household debt defaults are significant and positive. In addition, our study helps to understand the mechanism of social networks to rural household debt defaults, provides valuable policy recommendations to reduce household debt default rates.
