资本账户自由化的门槛效应:国外研究述评

一些经济理论认为资本账户自由化有助于吸引资本流入,降低资金成本,改善资源配置效率从而促进经济增长。但在实证研究中,资本账户自由化的经济增长和波动效应却未得到一致的结论,越来越多的学者认同资本账户自由化的结果即存在门槛效应。本文对资本账户开放或资本管制相关文献进行梳理,展示国外最新的研究成果和动态,同时也为政府取消资本管制,实行资本账户自由化进程和步骤提供建议和参考。     

制度质量与资本账户开放:基于中国的实证检验

本文运用最小二乘回归方法,对我国1976—2007年间的资本账户开放与制度质量以及金融发展等变量之间的关系进行了实证检验。结果显示,制度质量对资本账户开放的直接影响,以及通过作用于金融发展和金融脆弱性而产生的间接影响在我国是存在的。并且,无论是制度合成指标,还是制度分指标,对资本账户开放的直接效应都为负,间接效应都为正。此外,金融发展与资本账户开放之间显著负相关,表明金融发展水平不足、制度质量不高,是现阶段抑制我国资本账户开放的重要因素。因此,从提高资本账户开放的经济效应的角度,应强调相关制度的重要性。

资本账户开放、制度质量与经济增长

本文使用44个国家和地区在1973~2013年间的面板数据,考察资本账户开放、制度质量与经济增长三者间的关系。结果表明,资本账户开放、制度质量对人均实际GDP增长率的影响呈倒U形;相同资本账户开放程度下,OECD国家解禁资本账户获得的经济增长红利显著高于新兴市场—发展中国家。在政策操作层面,实证结果表明,资本账户开放对经济增长的影响是间接的,其作用力大小取决于一定的制度基础。中国目前应努力从国内金融改革、国际金融参与两个层面培植一个具备深度、流动和开放的金融市场;努力完善健全的法律法规,以规范投资者行为,保护投资者利益。     

不同资本账户开放程度下汇率波动对经济增长的非线性效应--基于面板门限模型的分析

文章利用50个国家1997~2015年的年度数据,基于面板门限模型分析了不同资本账户开放度下汇率波动与经济增长之间的非线性效应。研究发现:第一,汇率波动与经济增长之间存在门限效应,具体表现为低汇率波动促进经济增长,高汇率波动抑制经济增长;第二,资本账户开放能够弱化汇率波动对经济增长的不利影响,且不同资本账户开放度存在异质性;第三,不同汇率波动幅度下,汇率波动与资本账户开放度的交互项对经济增长的影响存在门限效应。     

资本账户开放水平对国际收支结构的影响分析

当前我国经济转向高质量发展，资本项目对外开放步伐加快。随着金融业准入的负面清单正式清零，国家外汇管理局提出要以金融市场双向开放为重点，稳妥有序推进资本项目开放，并将稳妥有序推进资本项目高水平开放作为年度重点工作。同时，一系列政策的出台为我国加快资本项目对外开放提供了全面支持和保障。为进一步了解资本账户开放水平对国际收支结构的影响，文章以全球38个国家1996—2019年的数据为样本构建实证模型，从经常账户、资本和金融账户两个层面，多个资本子市场开放角度，分析资本账户开放水平对国际收支结构的作用效果。     

资本账户开放、短期国际资本流动与汇率时变关系研究

本文采用DY溢出指数和LT-TVP-VAR模型考察资本账户开放、短期国际资本流动和汇率之间的动态关系。研究表明：资本账户开放、短期国际资本流动和汇率之间存在显著的时变联动关系;资本账户开放对短期国际资本流动与汇率冲击的反应模式存在短期动态权衡规则,针对短期国际资本流动冲击的反应力度更大;随着对外开放水平提升,资本账户开放度、短期国际资本流动与汇率之间的互动传导渠道逐步畅通,且资本账户开放与短期国际资本流动之间存在互动强化效应,并对汇率产生叠加冲击;此外,汇率市场化进一步加剧三者时变关系的复杂性与异质性。     

基于国际视角的资本账户开放与金融稳定门槛效应实证研究

研究构建一个包括资本账户开放、金融稳定、投资者对金融体系的信心、外债状况以及金融深化在内的动态面板数据模型,运用1990—2013年的数据,选取中国、印度、韩国、俄罗斯、泰国、新加坡等14个国家和地区（经济体）为研究对象,对上述国家和地区（经济体）资本账户开放对其金融稳定的影响进行了实证分析。研究发现,资本账户开放对金融稳定的影响存在显著的门槛效应,储蓄率、金融深化度、投资者对金融体系的信心与金融稳定性之间存在显著的正相关关系,而外债状况与金融稳定性之间存在负相关关系,就此针对我国资本账户的开放提出建议。     

金融发展、汇改最优次序与长期经济增长--基于118个经济体的面板模型的分析

本文构建由金融发展、资本开放、汇率制度与产出增长组成的理论模型,选取世界上118个经济体1972-2016年的宏观数据,综合运用动态面板、面板门槛与面板IV模型进行实证分析。本文得出主要结论为:第一,在汇率制度弹性对长期经济增长的边际影响中,金融发展水平呈显著为正的调节效应;第二,对于金融发展水平较高的国家,汇率制度弹性在资本项目开放度与长期经济增长之间存在显著正向的调节效应;第三,在金融发展水平较高时,对外贸易开放度在汇率制度弹性与长期经济增长之间存在显著为正的中介效应。借鉴历史发展经验,本文归纳出"先发展国内金融市场,再开放浮动汇率,最后加强资本开放"的汇改最优次序,为我国克服汇率制度改革难点、推进资本项目开放、维持经济基本面稳定增长提出合理化政策建议。     

资本账户自由化的国际比较

在开放经济条件下，资本账户自由化是一个国家经济对外开放不可或缺的部分。从国外来看，发达资本主义国家资本账户自由化比较成功，而一些新兴市场经济国家资本账户自由化普遍没有成功，而且为此付出了沉重的代价。因此，我国资本账户自由化时，一定要借鉴国外的经验，特别是要考虑宏观经济背景、资本账户开放模式以及资本账户开放的汇率安排。     

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.
