全球金融危机对中国保险业发展的影响与启示

当前面临全球金融危机,而国内外金融市场联动性的不断增强,发达国家金融市场的持续动荡,必将对我国国内金融市场产生消极的传导作用。我国保险业应从这次全球金融危机中认真吸取经验和教训,使保险业实现稳定健康持续发展,要加强对资本市场的研究控制,保险经营要理性回归,必须明确保险的本质在于"保障",保险业要始终将稳健、安全放在首位。     

河北省中小企业拓展外贸空间的对策

受全球金融危机影响,河北省中小企业出口受挫严重,举步维艰。本文通过对制约我省外贸发展因素的分析,提出我省中小企业要进一步开拓国际市场,应对金融危机,除需要政府从政策、资金、环境等方面搞好服务外,中小企业更要积极应对,实施市场多元化战略、人才强企战略、"走出去"战略,苦练内功,积极谋求在国际市场上的发展道路,并进一步促进河北省对外经济的发展。     

我国保险市场核心竞争力的AHP分析

我国保险业的发展是有目共睹的,我们在为这种发展感到高兴的同时,仍然能感受到我国保险业与世界发达国家保险业的差距,虽然由于金融危机使得美国的保险市场出现一些波动,但是总体上来看,我国保险业要追上美国,还得需要一段时间。本文将从AHP的角度对于保险业的核心竞争力进行分析。     

金融危机下看我国保险业存在的问题及对策

在2008年的金融危机中,发达国家的保险业尤其是美国保险业受到的冲击最大,这场危机不仅给发达国家的保险业带来惨痛的教训,也给我国保险业改革发展带来深刻的启示。本文以中国保险为例,先是分析了金融危机对中国保险的影响,接着阐述了全球金融危机下中国保险业存在的问题,最后提出了中国保险公司的新思路。     

论商业保险对构建和谐社会的作用

亚当·斯密提出"看不见的手"的理论对我们如何发挥保险的社会作用仍然有现实的指导作用,商业保险要发挥其应有的社会作用应该从基本的职能能充分实现的开始.我国保险社会作用没有能够很好的体现是因为保险的基本职能没有能够充分实现.因此,要实现保险的社会功能必须使得保险业充分发展,而制约着保险业发展的因素是供给和需求的结构性失衡.变潜在保险需求为现实的保险需求,扩大保险的供给能力为保险发展的当务之急.     

我国保险业的快速发展及应对金融危机的启示

改革开放带来了我国经济社会的深刻变化,也为我国保险业发展注入了新的生机和活力.我国保险业迅速发展壮大,成为国际上新兴的保险大国,尽管国际金融危机通过多条路径对我国保险业造成了一定的影响,但在国际金融危机的进程中,中国保险业积极应对,保持了比较平稳健康的发展,同时这场金融危机也带给我们诸多启示.

中国保险业向海外进军的竞争优势研究

一个企业的生存与发展离不开竞争优势,入世后,中国保险业全面对外开放,保险业发展十分迅速,国外大型保险跨国企业纷纷进入中国市场,保险业利用外资驶入了快速发展的道路,也使国内保险市场的竞争日趋激烈.中国保险业要想发展壮大,在激烈的竞争中获取并保持竞争优势就必须走出去,到国际市场上寻求新的发展空间,虽然中国保险企业还处于向海外进军的初期阶段,但是还具有一定的竞争优势.     

中国保险经纪人发展现状及对策

保险经纪人是保险市场重要的主体,对完善保险市场结构,提高保险业的经营效益,适应和促进保险业的健康发展具有重要作用.随着我国保险业的高速发展,保险经纪制度已初步确立.加入WTO以来,特别是经过金融危机后,保险业的竞争越来越激烈,专业保险经纪人的作用将更加明显.在此背景下,文章分析我国专业保险经纪人在发展过程中存在的问题,并提出建议,愿能促进中国专业保险经纪人的成长,从而给中国保险提供发展的助力.     

金融海啸对世界寿险业的风险警示

我国寿险业在这次金融危机中受到一定影响,但没有造成全局性、系统性风险。金融危机对我国寿险业来说是一个调整契机：业务结构调整应当突出寿险业作为提供风险管理和风险保障者安身立命的行业特性,引导行业首先要保持和发挥自身的行业特性,重回寿险业独立的核心价值定位;避免降息对利差损造成的风险;积极改变投资策略,减少资本市场风险带来的收益波动;加强监管,避免系统性风险。     

Japan's Lost Decade and its Financial System

After briefly explaining the causes of the Japanese asset‐price bubble in the 1980s, this paper analyses why the bursting of the bubble developed into a full‐fledged financial crisis in the late 1990s. In order to cope with this crisis, the Government has injected capital directly into the banking sector and banks have written off enormous amounts of bad loans. However, the Japanese financial sector remains very weak and Japan still faces a number of problems in its financial system. Firstly, the profit margin of banks is too small to cover the increased default risk following the bursting of the bubble, and there are market distortions created by the government‐backed financial institutions and the requirements on new lending to small and medium sized companies. Secondly, banks still have excessive stock investment and crossholding of shares between banks and other companies has weakened the market discipline on entrenched management. Thirdly, the government guarantee of all banking‐sector liabilities should be removed. Once the financial system is stabilised, a risk‐adjusted deposit insurance premium should be introduced so as to strengthen market discipline on banks, and the huge postal saving system should be privatised to create a level‐playing field among deposit taking financial institutions. Besides the foregoing, the weak corporate governance structure of Japanese financial institutions has to be remodelled. The management of banks has shielded themselves by extensive cross‐shareholdings, especially with life insurance companies. There has been extensive mutual provision of capital, most large life insurance companies have weak corporate governance, and many of the large shareholders of banks are life insurance companies. This double gearing between banks and life insurance companies has therefore weakened the market control of Japanese financial institutions.     

AIG在次贷危机中所扮演的角色及其启示

美国的次贷危机已经演变成波及全球的金融危机,在此次危机中有许多国际知名的金融企业陷入困境,其中就包括美国国际集团（AIG）。作为全球首屈一指的保险业巨头,AIG在次贷危机中由于流动性不足,从一家纯粹的私人企业变成了“半国有化”的企业,其根源在于制度层面的投资过度集中、风险管理缺失、创新工具滥用,和技术层面的数据充足性、假设准确性、模型有效性等问题。     

跨国保险进入中国的决定因素分析

全球金融危机并没有阻止跨国保险公司进入中国,然而针对跨国保险进入中国的决定因素的分析,目前的研究还相对空白.本文借鉴国外对跨国保险的理论研究,以邓宁的国际折衷理论为基础,从保险需求量、保险市场规模、劳动力成本、资金成本、制造业FDI、双边贸易总额、金融市场发展水平等七个方面分析跨国保险进入中国的决定因素.然后运用中国15个较早对外开放保险市场城市的2003年至2006年的面板数据进行回归分析.实证结果表明保险市场规模等五个因素对跨国保险进入中国的可能性产生重要影响.     

农村金融流动性风险分析及预防

随着近年来金融危机的出现和潜在危机的浮出,流动性风险成为了值得各国、各金融机构关注的风险隐患。通过对部分涉农金融机构的负债情况和机构分布情况进行数据归纳,体现出我国现行农村金融机构信贷质量差,资金的时效性强等多方面的问题。预防农村金融流动性风险,应建立特有的农村金融机构人才培养机制,认真考察不同地区的流动性资金的走向情况,做出合理的流动性风险管理规划,并加强各地区的联系和沟通,组建风险预警体系和完善相应的保险机制。     

出口信用保险影响下的出口贸易高质量发展研究——以浙江省为例

在中美贸易摩擦日渐加剧的背景下,出口信用保险成为出口企业重要的避险工具,在出口企业转嫁出口风险、提高风控水平、补偿企业损失、优化资源配置等多方面发挥重要作用。文章采用2003-2016年浙江省出口贸易数据及保险数据（均不含宁波）,通过统计分析、构建理论模型及实证检验,试图进一步明确出口信用保险影响出口贸易的作用机制。研究结果表明：在出口信用保险计划下,国际信用评级的存在、投保概率的增加、对出口企业损失的赔偿均可增加浙江省企业的货款回收概率,从而优化出口资源配置、提高出口水平。实证检验证明了以上结论,并发现在面临金融危机时,浙江省出口信用保险对出口的促进作用尤为显著,随着金融危机影响的逐步减小,其作用依然显著。     

The global financial crisis and Islamic finance

The conventional view holds that the current global financial crisis was caused by extraordinarily high liquidity, reckless lending practices, and the rapid pace of financial engineering, which created complex and opaque financial instruments used for risk transfer. There was a breakdown of the lender‐borrower relationship and informational problems caused by a lack of transparency in asset market prices, particularly in the market for structured credit instruments. There was outdated, lax, or absent regulatory‐supervisory oversight; faulty risk management and accounting models; and the emergence of an incentive structure that not only encouraged excessive risk taking but also created a complicit coalition of financial institutions, real estate developers and appraisers, insurance companies, and credit rating agencies whose actions led to a deliberate underpricing of risk. Such a crisis would not have occurred under an Islamic financial system—due to the fact that most, if not all, of the factors that have caused or contributed to the development and spread of the crisis are not allowed under the rules and guidance of Shariah. The current global financial crisis is largely seen as a real test of the resilience of the Islamic financial services industry and its ability to present itself as a more reliable alternative to the conventional financial system. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Did Investors Herd during the Financial Crisis? Evidence from the US Financial Industry

We examine the herding behavior of investors in the US financial industry, especially commercial banks, S&Ls, investment and insurance firms during global financial crisis of 2008 towards own sub‐sector and market consensus using augmented cross sectional absolute deviation of returns (CSAD) model. After distinguishing between fundamental and non‐fundamental information, we find a greater influence of global financial crisis on spurious herding for commercial and investment banks, and such herding increases in the down market and with conditional volatility of returns, but adverse herding is prevalent among investors during normal period in response to fundamental information. We also find that herding intensity on fundamental information is relatively high with market consensus for all financial institutions except insurance firms in high volatility regime, and intentional herding is only significant and limited to S&Ls and investment banks in high volatility regime. Our findings suggest limited spillover effects of herding when investors face non‐fundamental information.     

The Collapse of a European Bank in the Financial Crisis: An Analysis from Stakeholder and Ethical Perspectives

Fortis, the leading Benelux financial group, had been a success story of successive mergers of bank and insurance companies, with leadership in corporate social responsibility (CSR). One year after the acquisition of the major Dutch financial conglomerate ABN AMRO, the global financial crisis caused the collapse of the Fortis group. The purpose of this article is to use the case study of Fortis’s recent fall as a basis for reflective considerations on the financial crisis, from stakeholder and ethical perspectives. A selected number of key events of the history of the dramatic crisis at Fortis will be analysed from different ethical frameworks. Special consideration will be given to fairness of communication, shareholder activism and conflicts of interests of CEO’s mergers opportunities. A confrontation between the CSR policy and the reality raises the fundamental questions why the powerful CSR guidelines and ethical principles did not help in the assessment of the risks.     

Economic growth,financial market,and twin crises

In this study, we look not only to provide empirical evidence to investigate the direct impact of financial crises on economic growth, but also to examine the roles of insurance development, financial liberalization, financial institution, and crisis intervention policies on the relationship between the two. We employ a panel data framework from 50 countries by applying the dynamic panel generalized method of moments model. Our main empirical results show that financial crises do have a significantly negative impact on economic growth. In addition, governments or authorities are encouraged to further enhance their insurance sector in order to help spur economic growth when financial crises arise. The government intervention policy choice is also an important factor influencing economic growth during crises.
