保险需求会影响家庭风险金融资产配置吗？——来自中国家庭金融调查的证据

配置风险金融资产和购买保险作为家庭理财和规避风险的两种形式,对于提高家庭的财富水平和提升家庭生活质量至关重要,家庭金融资产配置决策除了受到外部环境的变化影响外,是否也会受到家庭保险需求的影响？为检验保险需求对家庭风险金融资产配置决策的影响,建立包含保险需求和家庭风险金融资产配置的理论模型,基于2019年中国家庭金融调查数据,使用CRITIC法构建保险需求指数,分析保险需求对家庭风险金融资产配置的影响。研究结果表明,保险需求与居民家庭风险金融资产的投资概率和投资份额具有显著正相关关系,且这一作用在保险收益较少的家庭中更为显著。进一步研究发现,家庭社会保险和商业保险缴费金额的增加均显著提高了风险金融资产的参与概率和比重,但商业保险的促进作用更为明显;家庭风险金融资产配置决策对社会医疗保险敏感性不高;保险需求的变化对农村居民和受教育水平较低的家庭风险金融资产配置决策影响更大。结合研究结论,给出了相关政策建议。     

住房公积金与家庭风险金融资产投资——基于2013年CHFS的实证研究

作为我国重要的住房保障制度,住房公积金对家庭风险金融资产投资的影响鲜有研究。本文基于中国家庭金融调查(CHFS)数据,采用probit和tobit模型,检验住房公积金对家庭风险金融资产投资的影响。实证结果表明,住房公积金能显著提高有房家庭风险金融资产投资的可能性和投资比重,但是对无房家庭的风险金融资产投资则无显著影响。研究其影响机制发现,住房公积金会提高家庭可支配收入、增加户主风险偏好,从而促进家庭风险金融资产投资。本文研究结论对完善住房公积金制度、引导居民家庭合理投资风险金融资产和实现多渠道增加居民财产性收入有借鉴意义。     

数字普惠金融对家庭风险金融资产配置影响的差异性——基于地区与城乡视角

本文基于中国家庭金融调查数据与数字普惠金融发展指数,评析了数字普惠金融的发展对家庭金融结构变化的影响。研究发现,数字普惠金融的发展能显著提高家庭配置风险金融资产的概率,并且对家庭配置风险金融资产的比例也有显著的正向影响。这一结果在使用工具变量和一系列稳健性检验后依然成立。进一步研究发现,这种影响在中西部地区和农村更为明显,可见数字普惠金融的包容性和普惠性对缩小城乡和地区差距有一定作用。机制分析表明,数字普惠金融能够通过"增收效应"来促进经济增长、增加家庭的收入,通过"教育效应"来提高家庭的金融素养,从而实现对家庭风险金融资产配置的影响。     

城乡居民养老保险与家庭金融资产配置——基于风险态度的视角

基本养老保险为老年人口提供基本的生活保障，能够有效缓解家庭养老压力，释放家庭预防性储蓄，并调整家庭资产配置结构，提高家庭资产配置效率，有必要从基本养老保险参与角度研究家庭资产利用率的提高和家庭金融资产配置结构的调整和优化。本文利用2013、2015、2017和2019年中国家庭金融调查数据(CHFS)研究城乡养老保险参与对家庭金融资产配置的影响及其机制。研究结果表明，参与城乡居民养老保险降低了家庭配置金融性风险资产的可能性，提高了家庭配置金融性无风险资产的可能性。城乡居民养老保险参与对城镇居民、收入较低、养老经济压力较大或受教育水平较低的家庭的金融资产配置决策具有更大的影响。机制分析的结果表明，参与城乡居民养老保险通过提高居民的风险厌恶程度调整家庭金融资产的配置结构。因此，应积极推进养老保险发展，发挥养老保险的经济效应，多渠道促进居民收入水平提升，缓解居民家庭养老压力，并着力提升居民金融认知水平，从而进一步促进我国养老保险体系的完善以及资本市场的发展。     

农村家庭风险金融资产选择与消费行为 ——基于CFPS的微观研究

基于投资决策视角,利用2018年中国家庭追踪调查数据(CFPS),从是否参与和参与深度两个层次,对农村家庭的风险金融资产选择与消费支出的关系进行了微观研究.结果表明,农村家庭投资于风险金融资产能够显著提高其消费水平,其消费支出与风险金融资产投资的规模和比例正相关.通过比较耐用品和非耐用品消费的影响,发现风险金融资产配置行为与状态对前者的影响要显著高于后者.本文的研究为我国的扩大内需战略的实施提供了新的政策思路,即可以通过深化农村金融改革,促进农村家庭金融资产的合理配置来激发农村市场的消费潜力.     

数字普惠金融发展与中国家庭金融风险资产配置

推动数字普惠金融发展,不断优化家庭资产配置结构,对中国家庭资产保值增值和实现共同富裕具有重要意义。本文基于中国家庭金融调查（CHFS）数据和数字普惠金融指数,实证检验数字普惠金融发展对中国家庭风险性金融资产配置的影响。研究表明,数字普惠金融发展显著提升了中国家庭配置风险性金融资产的概率和配置规模,其中金融知识在两者关系中起到了部分中介的作用。进一步研究发现,随着家庭金融知识水平和互联网参与程度的提高,数字普惠金融对家庭风险性金融资产配置的影响效应凸显。因此,应当加强数字普惠金融的促进作用,不断提升家庭金融知识水平和降低金融投资风险,通过提高中国家庭的互联网参与程度等来优化金融风险资产配置结构。     

户籍属性、住房拥有与家庭金融资产选择

本文采用2011年中国家庭金融调查数据(CHFS),分析了户籍属性与住房拥有对家庭金融资产选择的影响。研究表明:拥有本地户籍显著提高了家庭拥有住房率,并且对家庭参与风险资产市场的可能性和风险资产比重产生显著正向影响。这一结果在控制了家庭经济条件、人口学特征和投资风险态度等因素后仍然稳健。住房拥有对家庭风险资产市场参与、参与程度产生正效应,但是统计上不显著。进一步探讨户籍地位的城乡差异效应后发现,农业户籍地位会显著降低家庭风险资产的投资倾向。     

城市居民家庭参与风险金融市场行为分析——以厦门市为例

文章基于厦门市居民问卷调查数据,采用Pearson相关系数和多元线性回归进行实证分析,发现居民家庭决策者的学历水平、职业、投资经验、家庭收入水平、风险偏好、社会养老保险及房产持有对居民家庭参与风险性金融资产市场起到正向作用,而家庭决策者的年龄对家庭配置风险性金融资产不具有线性关系,最后提出增进理财能力、健全社会保障体系、促进金融产品创新等相关建议。     

上山下乡经历与家庭风险金融资产投资——基于断点回归的证据

本文使用中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)2010年家庭和个人层面数据,考察了户主的上山下乡经历对于家庭风险金融资产投资决策的影响。结果表明,上山下乡经历显著提高了家庭对于股票及广义风险金融资产的投资概率和投资规模。机制分析表明,此经历主要通过提升家庭投资的风险偏好和投资能力来影响家庭的风险金融资产投资。分样本讨论结果表明,上山下乡经历对家庭风险金融投资产生的正向影响在高人力资本、高收入和高社会资本群体中更为显著。     

背景风险对中国家庭风险金融资产的影响——基于CHFS微观数据的实证分析

以经典资产组合理论为延伸,探讨中国家庭风险金融资产配置的影响因素,着重基于背景风险的视角,分析劳动收入风险、健康状况、商业及房产投资在其中的重要作用,并且利用西南财经大学中国家庭金融调查(CHFS)的数据进行实证研究。研究发现:家庭理财者的劳动收入风险对风险金融资产的持有比例起反向作用,相反健康状况和健康保障水平对风险金融资产的持有比例起正向作用,而商业及房产投资对风险金融资产表现为"挤出效应"。此外,家庭风险资产配置中存在显著的财富效应和收入效应,信贷约束、主观幸福感等因素并不显著。     

Bayesian Premium Rating with Latent Structure

We propose a fully Bayesian approach to non-life risk premium rating, based on hierarchical models with latent variables for both claim frequency and claim size. Inference is based on the joint posterior distribution and is performed by Markov Chain Monte Carlo. Rather than plug-in point estimates of all unknown parameters, we take into account all sources of uncertainty simultaneously when the model is used to predict claims and estimate risk premiums. Several models are fitted to both a simulated dataset and a small portfolio regarding theft from cars. We show that interaction among latent variables can improve predictions significantly. We also investigate when interaction is not necessary. We compare our results with those obtained under a standard generalized linear model and show through numerical simulation that geographically located and spatially interacting latent variables can successfully compensate for missing covariates. However, when applied to the real portfolio data, the proposed models are not better than standard models due to the lack of spatial structure in the data.     

The development of the group accounts disclosure system in Japan

The Japanese disclosure system of consolidated statements was introduced in 1977 and extensively revised in 1997. The role of the bureaucracy has been significant in these developments and seems to be part of Japan's closed culture. However, other explanations could also be applied. In particular, although Japanese firms opposed such disclosures on the basis of preparation costs, the Japanese government had to modernize the disclosure system, including consolidation, in order to develop the securities market regardless of an individual company's interests.     

Moments of Compound Mixed Poisson Distributions

Recursive formulae are derived for the evaluation of the moments and the descending factorial moments about a point n of mixed Poisson and compound mixed Poisson distributions, in the case where the derivative of the logarithm of the mixing density can be written as a ratio of polynomials. As byproduct, we also obtain recursive formulae for the evaluation of the moments about the origin, central moments, descending and ascending factorial moments of these distributions. Examples are also presented for a number of mixing densities.     

The designing of corporate accounting law in Japan after the Second World War

After the Second World War, during the neutralization of the controlled economy of wartime Japan, a design for a Corporate Accounting Law was elaborated by the Investigation Committee on the Business Accounting System. The Investigation Committee tried to establish not only new business accounting standards but also a central and independent administrative organ of corporate accounting regulation on the basis of the Corporate Accounting Law. The Corporate Accounting Law was expected to lay the legal foundation of the new corporate accounting regulation regime in Japan. Nevertheless, even though the original design of the fundamental accounting law was never realized, it should be considered the starting point for our understanding of external accounting history in post-war Japan.     

Short-sale refinancing and price adjustment speed to bad news: Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in China

Short selling may accelerate stock price adjustment to negative news. However, the literature provides mixed evidence for this prediction. Using short-sale refinancing and a staggered difference-in-differences (DID) model, this paper explores the effect of short selling on stock price adjustment. Our results show that (1) short-sale refinancing improves the speed of stock price adjustment to negative news. This result holds after we control for endogeneity. (2) The positive relationship between short-sale refinancing and stock price adjustment speed is significant in subsamples of stocks with higher earnings management or lower accuracy of analyst forecasts, indicating that firms with more opaque information are more likely to be targeted by short sellers. In subsamples of stocks with a higher ownership concentration or lower ownership by institutional investors, short selling is more likely to increase the speed of stock price adjustment, indicating that ownership structure may influence negative news mining. (3) As short-sale refinancing exacerbates the absorption of bad news by stock prices, it increases crash risk. This study enriches the research on the economic consequences of short selling and provides empirical evidence supporting regulations on short selling in China.     

The deliberation around accounting techniques: accounting for depreciation and foreign exchange in an Indian jute company, 1870-1900

This paper examines the way two accounting techniques, namely depreciation and foreign exchange, were deliberated on, between 1870 and 1900, in an Indian jute company whose shareholders resided in the UK. The arena for these deliberations was the conflictual relationship between controlling and non-controlling shareholders as to how best to account for depreciation and foreign exchange especially when the particular accountings affected distributional issues such as the dividend decision. The purpose of this paper is to analyse and explain the processes by which a company's accounting practices emerge and develop as a contest between different interests. Accounting framed the parameters of the deliberations and provided the language of power and dissent. The paper uses a rich archive that includes narrative and accounting material.

Pricing Dynamic Insurance Risks Using the Principle of Equivalent Utility

We introduce an expected utility approach to price insurance risks in a dynamic financial market setting. The valuation method is based on comparing the maximal expected utility functions with and without incorporating the insurance product, as in the classical principle of equivalent utility. The pricing mechanism relies heavily on risk preferences and yields two reservation prices - one each for the underwriter and buyer of the contract. The framework is rather general and applies to a number of applications that we extensively analyze.
