河南省贸易竞争力分析

贸易竞争力是衡量一个地区贸易发展水平的重要指标。文章通过河南省与中部地区其他五省在贸易进出口总额、外贸出口依存度、外商直接投资和贸易竞争力指数方面的对比,发现河南省贸易竞争力较低且与其他经济指标发展不对称,进而从河南省贸易结构方面进行深入分析,在此基础上有针对性地提出河南省贸易竞争力的提升路径。     

从贸易大国向贸易投资大国转变

服务业FDI与上海服务贸易关系及现状研究

服务业外商直接投资与服务贸易不仅数量上有一致性的趋势,而且服务贸易的结构也与外商直接投资产业流向呈跟踪性变化,从中可以推出服务业外商直接投资与服务贸易发展有密切的关系。本文先从理论上探讨服务业外商直接投资与服务贸易之间的关系,得出服务业外商直接投资对服务贸易有明显的促进关系或是替代关系。继而从上海服务贸易进出口规模、内部结构两方面分析了上海服务贸易现状。     

基于协同视角的贸易投资一体化研究

随着现在的局势,经济全球化、区域经济一体化等这些词汇已出现在了国家经济蓝图中,贸易投资二者相互配合,已然成为推动国家经济迅速增长的助推器。由于,之前国际金融危机的影响,对世界各国的经济发展都带来了不同程度的影响。全球国家在持续不断的对外贸易的同时,也将长远的眼光发展到了对外直接投资的趋势中。本篇论文就联系国内外对经济贸易投资的基础上,并将协同视角的贸易投资一体化分析框架结合,分析投资贸易一体化的主体和影响其发展的主要因素。     

贸易转移和投资替代:中美货物贸易不平衡的深层原因

<正>近年来,中美贸易发展速度非常迅速,由此引发的贸易不平衡问题逐渐显现出来。其实,美国在货物贸易方面对中国所表现的贸易逆差,在很大程度上可以由美国及中国贸易伙伴变化所造成的贸易转移效果以及中国吸引外资所引起的投资替代效果来解释。     

英国脱欧后美欧贸易投资关系及其变化

由于英国正式脱欧,美国与欧洲的贸易和投资关系快速变化。从贸易角度看,商品贸易中欧盟地位有所下降,成为美国第三大商品出口市场和第二大进口来源市场,美欧之间的贸易商品构成也发生了变化;服务贸易中由于英国所占份额最大,英国脱欧也将影响美欧之间的服务贸易额。从投资角度看,美欧仍是彼此最大的外国直接投资的来源地和目的地。     

中国对非洲OFDI的贸易效应实证研究

随着中国对非洲OFDI稳步推进,投资的贸易影响日益显现。本文基于中国对非洲OFDI贸易效应的影响机制分析,构建扩展的贸易引力模型,并对中国在非洲OFDI的贸易效应进行实证分析。研究表明:中国对非洲OFDI存在贸易创造效应,且短期效应微弱,长期效应明显。中国对非洲OFDI的贸易创造效应存在国别差异,在资源丰富、经济规模靠前、经济增速较快的国家表现更为显著。因此,有必要继续扩大OFDI规模,优化OFDI结构,积极发挥政府引导作用,提高中国对非洲OFDI的贸易创造效应。

非洲:新一轮投资热点

走出去,已成为中国企业寻找机会、拓展市场的新选择.亚洲和欧美等地,现在基本上都能找到中国企业的印迹,而非洲也正在成为中国企业新的投资热点.据商务部统计,近年来中非贸易高速发展,中非贸易在过去5年增长了近3倍.2005年,中非贸易总额达到397亿美元,同比增长近37%,中国已成为非洲仅次于美国和法国的第三大贸易伙伴,目前在非洲设立的中资企业逾600家.在前不久举办的首届非洲投资论坛上,非洲研究专家和投资非洲的企业家们就中国企业在非洲投资现状、中国企业投资非洲的机遇、非洲招商引资举措及优惠条件以及中国企业在非洲投资的成功经验等做了具有说服力的介绍     

海峡两岸贸易投资人民币结算可行性研究

在世界经济步入下行周期、两岸ECFA生效及早收清单启动落实的背景下,两岸业界将人民币作为贸易投资结算货币的需求日益迫切。本文围绕着两岸贸易投资人民币结算的可行性问题,分析人民币成为两岸跨境结算货币的现实基础和制度障碍,阐述国际贸易结算货币选择的理论依据,并对推进两岸贸易投资人民币结算进行具体的政策设计。     

Debt and Taxes and Uncertainty

With a graduated personal tax schedule, Miller showed that there could be an equilibrium debt supply for the corporate sector as a whole. In the presence of uncertainty there is also a unique debt/equity ratio for each individual firm, and this ratio is related to the firm's operational risk characteristics. However, if firms merge and spin off in response to tax incentives, the identity of firms is ambiguous and only the corporate sector is a meaningful construct. These arguments are developed in both discrete and continuous models that employ extensions of the arbitrage-free pricing theory.     

教育与资本怎样的前景怎样的现实

来自政府的声音: "动员各种社会资源,发展教育" 此次论坛上财政部长助理张少春的发言是最受关注的发言之一.他的演讲传达出的信息有这样几方面:第一,谈到现实,他认为全社会对教育的巨大需求与我国公共投入不足已成为我国教育事业发展的突出矛盾.近年来,以公共部门投入为主,多渠道筹措教育经费的教育投入机制成为解决这一问题的重要途径,也使得公共部门与私营部门在教育领域的合作日益密切.第二,谈到前景,他认为,1.中国经济持续、快速的增长对高技能人才产生巨大的需求,这为私营部门的参与提供了广阔空间.2.随着公共财政职能的不断完善,财政资金将在各项教育事业中重新进行分配,进一步优化财政支出结构,提高资金的使用效率.在"十一五"期间,我国将把公共支出的重点转移到农村.我们将逐步把全体农村适龄儿童的义务教育全部纳入公共财政体制.     

East and west and north and south : A preliminary model

The Brandt report and other proposals for a new North-South world order continue to be the focus of lively debate, yet it is often argued that little concrete has emerged from their recommendations. A major reason for this, the author argues, is that the East-West conflict component is not sufficiently taken into consideration-East-West tensions are a severe constraint on and a determining factor of North-South relations. Using influence diagrams, the author develops a flexible framework for discussion and assessment of N/S-E/W relations.     

Trust and cross-border mergers and acquisitions

A number of studies suggest that social trust matters for investment. Using different measures of trust from World Values Survey, we show that countries where people display higher levels of trust engage in more cross-border M&A activities. When they do, these acquirers pay lower premiums. To the extent that these acquirers also tend to engage in larger acquisitions as well, our findings suggest that a larger selection pool of potential targets and higher value targets enable these acquirers to negotiate for lower premiums. We do not find evidence of the significant effect for target country trust levels. Hence, trust may benefit those acquiring firms in cross-border transactions.     

Tournament-based incentives and mergers and acquisitions

This research examines the relation between tournament-based incentives, which are proxied by the difference between a firm's CEO pay and the median pay of the senior managers, and mergers and acquisitions (M&As). We find that tournament-based incentives are positively related to firm acquisitiveness and acquiring firms' stock and operating performance. Further analysis indicates that positive acquisition performance increases the likelihood of the CEO being promoted from inside the acquiring firm. Our evidence is consistent with the view that tournament-based incentives motivate acquiring firms' managers to make greater efforts and take more risk that result in superior acquisition performance.     

Corporate Innovations and Mergers and Acquisitions

Using a large and unique patent‐merger data set over the period 1984 to 2006, we show that companies with large patent portfolios and low R&D expenses are acquirers, while companies with high R&D expenses and slow growth in patent output are targets. Further, technological overlap between firm pairs has a positive effect on transaction incidence, and this effect is reduced for firm pairs that overlap in product markets. We also show that acquirers with prior technological linkage to their target firms produce more patents afterwards. We conclude that synergies obtained from combining innovation capabilities are important drivers of acquisitions.     

Director gender and mergers and acquisitions

Does director gender influence CEO empire building? Does it affect the bid premium paid for target firms? Less overconfident female directors less overestimate merger gains. As a result, firms with female directors are less likely to make acquisitions and if they do, pay lower bid premia. Using acquisition bids by S&P 1500 companies during 1997–2009 we find that each additional female director is associated with 7.6% fewer bids, and each additional female director on a bidder board reduces the bid premium paid by 15.4%. Our findings support the notion that female directors help create shareholder value through their influence on acquisition decisions. We also discuss other possible interpretations of our findings.
