商业银行案件防控存在的问题及对策

近几年，我国金融案件呈现多发、高发态势，多家银行相继曝出涉案金额巨大的案件，总涉案金额高达数十亿元。由于金融案件绝大部分发生在基层银行营业网点，因而基层银行也就成了当前我国金融案件防范和控制的重点。然而，我们从丹东地区的实际调查情况看，当前基层银行案件防范工作仍然存在诸多漏洞，而且这些问题在其他地区也不同程度地存在，具有普遍性，金融案件防范形势不容乐观。     

金融“新政”视角下农村非正规金融发展水平收敛性研究

本文采用参数和非参数模型对2004年金融“新政”实施以来,中国农村非正规金融发展水平收敛性进行实证分析.结果表明,2004～2010年不同区域农村非正规金融发展呈现不同的收敛态势;中国农村非正规金融发展差距主要是由区域之间农村非正规金融发展差距引起;而各区域农村经济发展水平不均衡、农村正规金融发展水平差异过大是导致农村非正规金融发展差距扩大的重要原因.文章就此提出了相关对策建议.     

我国金融发展的非均衡性与中西部区域金融成长

区域金融是指一个国家金融结构与运行在空间上的分布状况。在外延上表现为具有不同形态、不同层次和金融活动相对集中的若干金融区域。区域金融与区域经济一样也是现代经济条件下大国金融发展的一种客观现象,不仅直接反映经济的区域性特点,而且其本身也显现出明显的区域差异性。改革开放以来,中国金融业迅速发展,短短20年从形式上几乎走完了西方国家近百年的历程,金融总量迅速增长,金融结构发生显著变化,金融产业得到长足发展,呈现出一种面貌全新的金融成长状态。但是,按照东、中、西进行区域划分,伴随着金融产业的快速成长,我国金融产业的…     

金融自由化与中国金融改革开放的深化

近年来,随着经济全球化和一体化进程的加快,金融自由化的呼声日益高涨。特别是1999年11月美国国会通过了《金融服务现代化法案》之后,一个放松管制的金融自由化时代已经到来。在当今全球金融自由化和中国已经加入WT0的情况下,中国如何把握住机会,加快金融改革开放,融入国际社会主流,是一个亟待解决的重大课题,极具现实意义。 金融自由化是从上世纪70年代兴起,并呈迅猛发展态势。世界上绝大多数国家都有意或无意地参加到这一进程中。由于经济基础以及相应的金融制度的差异,发达国家与发展中国家的金融自由化具有不同的特征。发达国家先后放松或取消对利率、分业经营和资本市场的管制,使本国金融业发展进入了较为宽松时期。发展中国家则根据发达国家的改革经验,相继开展以金融深化或金融发展为主题的金融体制改革,力争赶上国际金融自由化的潮流,促进本国经济快速发展。     

金融先导助燃经济腾飞——明治时期日本经济发展及启示

一、金融先导 按照金融与经济相互作用不同,金融可分为两种不同模式。一是需求引致型金融,二是金融先导型金融。现行金融体系由于不能满足新的经营需求而做出调整,这种需求引致新的金融体系便是需求引致型金融。相反,供给先行型金融则强调金融的先导作用,即金融体系的发展领先于实体经济部门的需求。它是通过优先发展金融业,建立健全金融体系,以金融作为社会经济发展的启动器,促进商品经济和市场机制的发展,进而推动整个经济的发展。通过实施金融先导改革,一些新兴工业化国家和地区在短期内迅速摆脱了金融抑制状态,实现了经济的跳跃发展。     

关于我国金融脱媒的几个问题

随着金融体制改革的不断深入,我国商业银行所面临的市场经营环境发生了变化,金融脱媒的态势日益突显。在我国资本市场不断发展,银行业改革的不断深入,居民投资理财概念发生改变情况下,金融脱媒将给我国商业银行的发展带来机遇和挑战。加快改革创新步伐,重塑经营管理体系,解决运行机制和人力资源建设两大关键问题,是我国商业银行发展的策略选择。     

金融发展对城乡收入差距的影响——基于1978～2006年数据的实证分析

采用中国统计年鉴1978～2006年的统计数据,通过协整检验和格兰杰检验,对我国金融发展规模、城乡金融发展差异与城乡收入差距之间的关系进行实证研究。结果表明:金融发展规模会加剧城乡收入差距,同时城乡金融发展差异也会加剧城乡居民收入差距。金融发展对城乡收入差距的影响主要体现在我国金融发展的不均衡上,具体表现在不同行业之间以及城乡不同地区之间存在金融的可获得性差异和金融产出的效率差异。     

浙江省金融发展对城乡收入差距影响的门槛效应分析——基于面板数据分析法

我国经济在快速增长的同时,却出现了城乡收入差距扩大经济问题。浙江省作为我国经济较发达的地区,虽然城乡经济得到较好的发展,但城乡收入差距从动态上看仍表现为扩大的趋势。金融发展门槛效应导致金融发展与收入差距之间呈现"倒U型"态势。本文基于面板数据分析法检验门槛效应,实证结果表明,浙江大部分地区金融发展对城乡收入差距作用存在门槛效应,且金融发展都超越了门槛条件,金融的进一步发展会导致城乡收入差距缩小。     

国际金融中心的区域效应分析:对江西发展路径的启示

利用引力模型计量上海和香港与泛珠三角等地区的相互引力关系,结果发现上海在大多数地区的经济联系程度超过香港,并有加速扩张的趋势,具有明显的规模和区位优势;香港在现代服务业尤其是金融服务业对中南部和西部地区仍然具有较大的影响,具有先发优势;两地的竞争态势愈加明显。作为泛珠三角经济区成员的江西需要主动调整发展规划,靠拢增长极,加速区域经济一体化进程,实现跨越式发展。     

金融发展对OFDI逆向技术溢出效应的影响——基于中国省际面板数据的门槛回归分析

本文运用中国对外直接投资的省际面板数据,从金融规模、金融效率以及金融结构三个维度构建门槛模型,研究了中国金融发展对OFDI逆向技术溢出效应的影响。研究发现,金融规模、金融效率和金融结构都对OFDI的逆向技术溢出存在门槛效应。当金融发展超过一定水平值后,OFDI对中国技术进步的贡献将大大提升;越过门槛值的省市主要集中在东部地区,大部分省(市区)还处于门槛值之下,其中中部与东北地区的金融发展尤为落后。为了更好地发挥OFDI对中国技术进步的推动作用,需要采取一系列措施来协调各地区的金融发展,加快中国金融体系改革,鼓励企业积极开展海外融资。     

Development in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Statistics at the Australian Bureau of Statistics

This paper outlines the ICT statistical developments that the ABS has undertaken over recent years. These developments have been on both the supply side (ICT industry) and the demand side (use of IT by sector). The content of ABS ICT surveys has changed significantly over the last few years and are expected to develop further in line with industry changes and emerging policy needs.
Recent developments in household collections have been the inclusion of IT use questions in the 2001 Census of Population and Housing and in various ABS social surveys such as Children's Participation in Culture and Leisure Activities. Annual business IT use surveys are now conducted and include topics such as Internet commerce and IT security. Biennial ICT industry surveys are conducted to provide data on ICT production, imports and exports, ICT industry employment, performance and structure information. An Internet activity survey is run every six months and provides regional Internet access details and infrastructure details on Internet service providers.
A major development for 2002–03 will be the compilation of an ICT satellite account. ABS intends to produce an ICT Information Development Plan to guide its future statistical development work in the ICT field.     

Incumplimiento del salario mínimo en Europa central y oriental

En este estudio se analiza el incumplimiento del salario mínimo durante el periodo 2003–2012 en diez países de Europa central y oriental con salario mínimo obligatorio nacional. A partir de los datos de EU‐SILC y la metodología propuesta por Bhorat, Kanbur y Mayet (2013), se cuantifica la incidencia y magnitud del incumplimiento. Se realizan análisis de regresión sobre determinantes individuales, laborales y macroeconómicos. Aunque la incidencia permanece relativamente baja, los trabajadores a los que se dirigen las políticas de salario mínimo parecen los más expuestos a su incumplimiento. Con el tiempo, una mayor incidencia se asocia a una razón más alta entre salario mínimo y salario medio.     

Value at Risk in the Suburbs: Eminent Domain and the Geographical Politics of the US Foreclosure Crisis

Several US counties and local governments have recently considered a novel solution to the foreclosure crisis. They plan to use eminent domain to compel the owners of mortgage debt—and specifically of private‐label mortgage‐backed securities—to sell the debt to the government at a price reflecting the loan's market value. The government would then restructure the debt and resell it to new investors. The plans are striking because—in contrast to both development‐driven eminent domain and the federal subprime bank bailout—they would force investors to assume asset devaluation and increased long‐term risk. Notably, the plans have emerged as an instance of financialization‐focused politics in suburbs and suburban cities of color, specifically majority‐black and ‐Latino/a suburbs. Local support for the plans, we argue, is rooted in the long‐term disinvestment of these ‘suburbs of exception', which became targets of subprime lending and eventually sites where the ‘financial exception' has been localized. But these demographic shifts, fragmentation and fiscal pressures have at the same time created a suburban political terrain in which the plans have gained their strongest political support.     

Towards a Theory of Serendipity: A Systematic Review and Conceptualization

Serendipity – the notion of making surprising and valuable discoveries – plays a major role in the success of individuals and organizations alike. Previous research has established the importance of serendipity and identified important individual- and organizational-level antecedents. However, the literature has been dispersed and the boundaries of the concept have been blurry, leading to a lack of conceptual clarity and structure, and thus limiting validity and managerial actionability. Based on a systematic literature review, I synthesize existing management-related research on serendipity and explicate the emergence and composition of serendipity in the organizational context. I first identify three necessary conditions that differentiate serendipity from related concepts such as luck or targeted innovation: agency, surprise, and value. Then, I draw from the literature on sensemaking, event-based theorizing, and quantum-based approaches to management to conceptualize the process of cultivating serendipity in the organizational context as a process of enabling potentiality and materialization, and develop a multi-level theory of (cultivating) serendipity. This conceptualization contributes to our collective understanding of how, why, and when (i.e., under what conditions) organizations can leverage the value in the unexpected, which opens up fruitful avenues for further research.     

Cultural Economy Planning in Creative Cities: Discourse and Practice

While a growing body of research analyses the functional mechanisms of the cultural or creative economy, there has been little attention devoted to understanding how local governments translate this work into policy. Moreover, research in this vein focuses predominately on Richard Florida's creative class thesis rather than considering the wider body of work that may influence policy. This article seeks to develop a deeper understanding of how municipalities conceptualize and plan for the cultural economy through the lens of two cities held up as model ‘creative cities’ — Austin, Texas and Toronto, Ontario. The work pays particular attention to how the cities adopt and adapt leading theories, strategies and discourses of the cultural economy. While policy documents indicate that the cities embrace the creative city model, in practice agencies tend to adapt conventional economic development strategies for cultural economy activity and appropriate the language of the creative city for multiple purposes.     

Accountability of NGOs in Bangladesh A critical overview

NGOs in Bangladesh have been recognized as effective change agents in the socio-economic arena throughout the world. Their contributions in micro credit, non-formal education and primary health care are widely known. NGOs play a significant role in society. NGO accountability, as a result, has become a critical issue. NGO accountability in Bangladesh has been examined here in relation to patrons, clients and themselves. Of the three relationships only accountability to patrons is in a near satisfactory state. Accountability to clients is handicapped by lack of opportunities of beneficiaries to participate meaningfully in NGO policy making. Accountability to themselves is adversely affected due to the adherence to a strictly hierarchical system and the influence of founding and charismatic NGO leaders.     

Input/output ranges and performance: an examination of US machine tool producers

Despite the establishment of high-tech multinational enterprises (MNEs) in Ireland since the late 1950s, the country did not succeed in closing the technological gap with most of its EU counterparts. The weak National System of Innovation (NSI), and in particular low business and government R&D levels, combined with a lack of research and technology linkages between MNEs and indigenous firms, explain these poor results. However, the Shannon region in the West of the country presents some specific institutional characteristics that could theoretically make the region a strong technological enclave. The various actors in the region - i.e. the administrative, financial, political and research institutions, as well as the business organizations - have indeed infused a new type of economic development. After a brief review of the available concepts and models articulated around these actors and their interrelationships, the paper analyses whether the Shannon region, taken as an illustrative example, mirrors a specific economic and technological localized setting. The study is based on a survey of indigenous and foreign firms.     

Sixty years of discrimination and diversity research in human resource management: A review with suggestions for future research directions

This article reviews discrimination and diversity research published in Human Resource Management (HRM) over the past 60 years. While discrimination and diversity are very different constructs, it is often informative to study them together, because when people recognize each other's diversity, this can result in bias, stereotyping, and discrimination. We conducted bibliographic searches for terms related to discrimination and diversity as well as a manual search through every title and abstract published in HRM over the last 60 years to assess article relevance. The search resulted in 135 research articles with 136 unique studies (i.e., samples) which are reviewed in this article. Sex and race are the demographics that have been examined the most in HRM, while religion has been examined the least. Moreover, the number of studies examining lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees in the workplace in HRM has grown quickly within the past 10 years, culminating in a recent meta‐analysis. Our review looks at some of the earliest research published, the most recent research published, and the overall trends we identified in the research over the years for both discrimination and diversity articles. We then make future research suggestions and recommendations to advance the study of discrimination and diversity in the coming years.     

Ansätze und Ergebnisse anglo-amerikanischer M&A-Forschung

Based on a review of established U.S. management journals (1995–2003), six schools of thought are identified within the Anglo-American M&;A research: “Capital Market”, “Principal/Agent”, “Industrial Organization”, “Organizational Behavior”, “Human Resources” and “Strategic Management”. The literature review shows that the definition of M&;A success, the methods applied, and insights from empirical research differ according to the respective school of thought. Empirical studies focus on the resource combinations of merger partners, the specific circumstances of merger negotiations, and on integration management as antecedents of merger performance. Unfortunately, empirical findings have not yet provided reliable explanations for M&;A success. Based on the current state of Anglo-American M&;A research, the authors discuss implications for business practice, identify research gaps, and propose areas for future research.     

Towards an Asian model of human resource management? A comparative analysis of China,Japan and South Korea

There has been much discussion regarding the possible decline and weakening of national systems of human resource management (HRM). Yet, culture and institutions are often cited as the major stumbling blocks to this outcome. Such constraints may dissipate in the analysis, particularly if ‘regional clusters’ are considered where geographic and cultural closeness and ‘openness’ to similar economic pressures exist. In such cases, it might be postulated that convergence in HRM will occur. We argue that China, Japan and South Korea represent such a cluster. This article examines these countries, to see if a degree of convergence is taking place and if it is towards an identifiable ‘Asian’ model of HRM. A model of change is presented that distinguishes between levels of occurrence and acceptance. Details of the development and practice of HRM in each country are then set out. The article ends with a discussion and implications section and a brief conclusion.
