利率调整对未来国内价格水平的影响

2004年10月29日央行调整了利率，存贷款利率同时上调，中长期存贷款利率调整幅度大干短期。原则上，贷款利率只设下限，存款利率只设上限。此次利率调整幅度不大，但是其“进一步推进利率市场化”的信号作用以及企业和居民产生的加息周期预期的作用十分重要，将会对未来国内价格水平产生积极的影响。利率调整通过资金成本变化以及加息预期，影响企业和居民的投资、消费行为，最终影响价格水平。     

利率非对称调整对住房公积金管理和住房保障的影响分析

从2008年9月16日起,中国人民银行（以上简称“央行”）下调了人民币贷款基准利率。对个人住房公积金贷款利率也作了相应幅度的向下调整,进一步压缩了住房公积金的收益空间。2007年,“央行”已采用手法多样的非对称方式,先后6次调整了人民币存贷款利率。对住房公积金存贷款利率,则是采取了更宽幅度的非对称调整。住房公积金上年结转的存款利率从2006年8月的1．8％,

充分重视央行房贷政策的风险提示意义

3月17日，央行微调了房贷利率，将现行住房贷款优惠利率回归到同期贷款利率水平，同时对房地产价格上涨过快的城市的个人住房贷款首付比例由20％提高到30％。对这次房贷利率调整，央行行长周小川指出，房贷利率的微调是对消费者的一个风险提示，更重要的是对银行的风险提示。确实，现今的房市迫切需要风险提示。     

房贷加息有利中低收入购房者

在市场经济中,利率的变化是一件普通的事情,美国2004年下半年以来利率连续调整6次,也没有看到美国民众对每一次利率调整会有如此的关注,企业和民众只是会根据利率变化趋势来改变经济行为.而3月17日央行上调房贷利率的消息发布之后,就如2004年10月份央行利率调整后的情况类似--社会反应异常强烈,甚至引来了不少民众的不满.     

探讨利率对房价的影响

一直以来,房地产的市场状况都同宏观的金融政策有着密不可分的联系和作用,而对利率的调整则直接的影响着房地产行业的企业、发展规模、消费者以及房价的波动。本文主要对利率调整对房价的影响情况进行分析和探讨,并就如何加强利率调整对房价影响程度的措施提出自己的建议。     

房市何时能够不折腾

“房价又疯涨了,‘地王’又频频来了,老百姓又慌了,‘遏制’房价过快上涨的措施又出台了!”中国房市在2009年又上演了折腾的一幕。     

利率变化对房地产市场的影响

从2004年10月29日到2008年12月23日重年的时间里,央行共12次调整存款基准利率,14次调整贷款基准利率。通过房地产市场的供给、需求;及房价层面的研究,来析利率变动对房地产市场的影响。从中国历次利率调整对房地产市场影响的研究来分析利率变动对房地产市场的影响机理,并希望能得出相应的规律性来调控房地产市场,实现中国房地产市场平稳、快速、健康地发展。

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.

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.     

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.

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.
