Exploring the nexus between capital inflows and growth in Latin America and the Caribbean: a study of clusters led by Brazil and Mexico

In this paper, we used pooled regression within the ARDL approach and augmented Solow framework to explore the emerging uniformity and polarization in the two clusters led by Brazil and Mexico in Latin America and the Caribbean, adopted from Izquierdo and Talvi http://idbdocs.iadb.org/wsdocs/getdocument.aspx?docnum=35816781, 2011. The results show that effects of capital productivity and official development assistance are predominantly led by Brazil cluster while remittances, foreign direct investment and domestic credit are led Mexico cluster. While ODA is has a negative effect on the region’s growth, capital productivity, remittances, domestic credit and foreign direct investment are promising indicators for short-run and long-run growth in the region.     

Understanding liquidity shortages during severe economic downturns

One feature of economic recessions is the appearance of aggregate liquidity shortages that can exacerbate the economic downturn. We develop a model in which the demand for liquidity arises suddenly in response to continued funding needs of partially completed investment projects whose outcomes are subject to idiosyncratic shocks and moral hazard. When the economy experiences an adverse aggregate productivity shock, incentive constraints that underlie equity contracts may bind, provided the shock is severe enough. In this case, credit-rationing appears, and the heightened demand for liquidity coincides with a greater reluctance to take on equity positions or deepen investments in on-going investment projects. The consequence is a reduction in new investment and termination of on-going projects due to a lack of liquidity, thereby worsening the economic slowdown.

Convex incentives in financial markets: an agent-based analysis

We investigate whether convex incentive contracts are a source of instability of financial markets as indicated by the results of a continuous double-auction asset market experiment performed by Holmen et al. (J Econ Dyn Control 40:179–194, 2014). We develop a model to replicate the setting of the experiment and perform an agent-based simulation where agents have linear or convex incentives. Extending the simulation by varying features of actual asset markets that were not studied in the experiment, our main results show that increasing the number of convex incentive contracts increases prices and volatility and decreases market liquidity, measured both as bid–ask spreads and volumes. We also observe that the influence of risk aversion on traders’ decisions decreases when there are convex contracts and that increasing the differences in initial wealth among the traders has similar effects as increasing number of convex incentive contracts.     

金融化、财政激励与企业投资结构

财政激励政策对企业投资结构的调整具有重要影响。实证研究结果表明,财政激励政策会促使企业选择提升权益性投资比重,且这种促进作用具有递减倾向。其中,税收返还和财政贴息会显著促进企业权益性投资比重升高,研发补贴则会促进企业固定资产投资比重升高。进一步以企业融资效率为中介变量进行检验发现,财政激励可以通过提升企业融资效率进而促使企业提升权益性投资比重。因此,在利用财政激励政策工具调节企业投资结构时,应充分考虑企业金融化水平,以避免企业投资结构出现失衡。     

Do banking shocks matter for the U.S. economy?

The quantitative significance of shocks to the financial intermediary (FI) has not received much attention up to now. We estimate a DSGE model with what we describe as chained credit contracts, using Bayesian technique. In the model, credit-constrained FIs intermediate funds from investors to credit-constrained entrepreneurs through two types of credit contract. We find that the shocks to the FIs' net worth play an important role in the investment dynamics, accounting for 17% of its variations. In particular, in the Great Recession, they are the key determinants of the investment declines, accounting for 36% of the variations.

浅论我国企业诚信制度建设

加强企业诚信制度建设,提高企业信用,是推进企业的诚信建设及经济发展的必要途径,市场经济是法制经济,也是信用经济。当前社会经济生活中存在的信用缺失问题,已经严重困扰了企业经营和市场经济秩序,成为制约我国经济发展的突出瓶颈之一。因此,构建适合我国的企业诚信制度管理以提高企业信用,推进企业的诚信建设,已成为我国企业面临的一个紧迫问题。     

现代企业理论及其对我国公司治理的启示

本文认为,现代企业理论是公司治理研究的理论基础,企业是一系列契约的联结;契约是不完备的;所有权安排是重要的。公司治理则更侧重于分析企业内部组织结构与企业成员之间的代理关系。股份制改革是我国企业改革的方向,公司治理改革则是股份制改革的核心。按照现代企业理论和公司治理理论,我国公司治理要解决的基本问题是激励问题和经营者选择问题;剩余索取权与控制权的均衡问题;要使经理的补偿收入同公司经营业绩相联系。     

金融信用在"两型社会"建设中的价值分析

金融信用体系的建立和完善是改善投资环境的长效机制。信用制度完善的综合配套改革,有利于形成与“两型社会”发展相一致的企业自主创新和高新技术企业加快发展的金融环境,为推动武汉城市圈走出一条资源节约,环境友好型的区域经济发展新路径,奠定良好的基础环境。     

论信用信息基础建设项目成本风险的分担

本文认为,信息基础建设是我国信用体系建设的关键性基础性工作。现阶段,信用信息基础项目建设,应由政府和从社会引入项目主办方共同投资,此种项目投资建设,也会面临影响项目成本进而影响项目收益的风险,这些风险应该在政府与项目主办方之间按比例分担,本文给出了项目成本风险分担比例的计算方法。

考虑质量风险的养老服务供应链契约研究

服务质量是养老服务的重要因素。针对我国养老问题,结合养老服务供应链思想,通过建立单集成商、多合作性提供商的质量风险模型,研究集成商和提供商之间不同质量激励合同对服务质量和供应链收益等要素的影响,探讨了合同成立的潜在条件,并分析了合同内变量之间存在的潜在关系。发现在满足一定条件时,适当的激励系数会使得提供商产生合作关系、提高风险防范水平并增加供应链各部分收益。对供应链风险环境下有效激励合同的建立提供一定理论依据。     

投资体制改革对我国项目评价的深层次影响的研究

随着国家投资体制改革,我国传统计划经济体制发生了彻底的改变,取而代之的是社会主义市场经济体制。投资体制的深入改革,不仅使得项目投资过程中政府的干预作用降低,同时也使得相关的项目投资决策者对项目本身的控制性增强,进而有效增强了项目风险评估的必要性。本文基于投资体制改革的基础之上,随着投资体制改革的不断深入,对我国项目评估方面产生的深层次影响进行了研究,主要集中于银行的信贷方面、企业方面以及信托企业方面的影响进行了深入的研究。     

基于共同治理模式下的公司业绩评价指标体系探索

现代企业理论认为,企业是一系列合约的组合,其中最重要的是企业所有权合约,提高企业所有权安排效率的出路是资本所有者拥有剩余索取权与剩余控制权。在这种理论的基础上产生了“股东至上”理论,公司治理采用“股东至上模式”,与此相适应产生了相关的业绩评价体系。但是这种治理模式和业绩评价体系都存在着缺陷,为适应现代公司经营环境的变化,笔者认为,应该采用“共同治理模式”代替“股东至上模式”,并建立与之相适应的业绩评价体系。     

On the Role of Receivables in Managing Salesforce Incentives

ABSTRACT

Despite the obvious problems associated with collections, firms routinely sell on credit. Conventional wisdom suggests offering credit is a necessary evil when dealing with insistent cash-constrained customers. This paper provides a more positive view of trade credit. We find that offering credit can enhance the efficiency of incentive contracts with sales personnel. In effect, with a credit sale, a client gets a second chance to generate enough cash. The client's second chance gives the sales agent another opportunity to demonstrate his past diligence to the firm. Moreover, to limit the risk associated with the fact that even a high-quality client may fail to eventually come up with funds, the firm relies on the accrual system. In particular, the agent's (discretionary and early) choice of the bad debt allowance conveys his private information regarding client quality; the payments associated with subsequent collections/default keep such reporting in check.     

Option Contracts in Supply Chains

This paper considers optimal contracts in supply chains that consist of   n ≥ 2  firms and face a potential investment hold-up problem. We show that option contracts may solve the incentive problems. First, we provide case-study evidence for the use of option contracts in the semiconductor industry. As our second contribution, we generalize the earlier option contract approach by introducing continuous quantities. Third, we extend the setting to n parties. For long supply chains, the first-best allocation can be achieved if there is a particular order of renegotiations .
