THE EFFECT OF JOB REDESIGN ON JOB SATISFACTION

1. INFORMAL SECTOR IN CHINESE ECONOMY: A STUDY OF CURRENCY EXCHANGE AND INFORMAL BANKING Gerald Priddle, Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, California, USA Michael R. Santos, Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, California, USA ABSTRACT This paper studies China’s black market currency exchange and informal lending practices. Our study is a literature review and summarizes previous studies and also incorporates information from direct interviews of Chinese citizens. We found that China needs financial reforms since a significant portion of monetary activities are not recorded by the formal economy, thereby limiting Chinese government’s efforts to curb inflation. In addition, the persistent black market activities might drive a wedge between financial institutions and consumers and reduce the effectiveness of monetary policies. Furthermore, the informal economy is accepted by everybody as business as usual so that perhaps the mutual trust between monetary policy makers and agents are broken and requires serious effort from Chinese regulators to fix the formal sector.
