到目前為止，國內外對信用分配的實證研究，大抵不脫以總體資料(aggregate datas)說明在貨幣政策的傳導機制中「信用管道」(credit channel)的存在，但要以此解釋信用分配的現象則略顯不足，我們需要的是更直接的證據：那就是在信用管道背後，銀行用來壓抑地雷公司借款的「篩選工具」(Screening Devices)！

本文便以分析整理個別公司借款資料的方式進行實證研究，首度將樣本區分為「地雷公司」與「正常公司」，以及「金融風暴前、後」的不同時期，並以「臨界放款利率」作為判斷標準。

本文得到以下三點結論：

1. 在三種樣本期間，地雷公司與正常公司所面對的放款供給曲線，幾乎都有後彎現象（除正常公司在金融風暴前例外），表示信用分配現象的確存在，且銀行以利率為信用篩選工具。

2. 在全部樣本期間與金融風暴後，地雷公司所面對的臨界放款利率均較正常公司為低，表示銀行對地雷公司與正常公司的臨界放款利率的確有異，且銀行成功以「數量」壓抑地雷公司借款。

3. 地雷公司與正常公司在金融風暴後，臨界放款利率均有所降低，且地雷公司臨界放款利率降幅（與全部樣本期間相較）較正常公司高出11個百分點，表示「金融風暴」的確會影響銀行授信態度，且對地雷公司影響較大。

實證結果與研究假說一致，並符合我們的直覺。
