分行特色业务平台建设的基本思路

中国建设银行由于全国数据集中（简称DCC）项目的成功建设，全行的信息系统架构发生了巨大变化，由分行为数据中心的核心业务系统，上升为全行统一的南北数据中心，总行各个核心业务系统提供数数据下传分行服务。如何在目前状态下，建立分行级的特色业务平台．结合分行特色业务，以客户为中心，提供各类数据查询、统计、分析服务，为分行业务经营管理部门提供客户特色服务，为分行业务管理部门经营决策提供辅助信息，是各个分行信息技术部门需要思考的问题。建行浙江省分行针对这个问题，在2005年初提出建立分行的特色业务平台．为分行信息系统建设进行了有益探索。     

数据大集中后的分行信息科技工作

工行数据大集中和全行集约化科技管理体系的初步形成，有效地提高了全行信息系统的安全运行水平，加快了信息系统的整合，有力地支持了业务发展和创新。但随着数据大集中和管理集约化的不断推进，分行信息科技工作如何定位？如何有效配置资源，进一步发挥科技对业务发展与创新的推动作用？目前分行的科技工作中的问题及如何应对？这是各级关心科技工作的领导和技术人员在实际工作中不断思考并积极探索和实践的问题。随着股改的不断深入，     

数据大集中模式下分行科技创新的探索与实践

在全国数据集中工程完成以后,信息科技工作的重心、任务、职责等都发生了很大的变化。随着中国农业银行股份有限公司(以下简称"农行")的成功上市,在建设一流现代商业银行的目标指引下,全行改革发展的步伐持续加快,面临全新的内外部环境,各分行信息科技工作如何适应新的形势、新的任务,在保障信息系统稳定运行、分行日常业务正常营运、实现安全生产的同时,促进分行业务快速发展、内部管理提升、特色产品创新,进而提升分行的市场竞争力,是摆在各分行信

转变科技职能实施科技营销

数据大集中后,分行科技部门与总行科技部门之间的定位更加清晰,一、二级分行科技部门的工作重点应该放在各地特色业务的开发和推广上.     

数据上收后市分行科技部门如何实现职能转变

随着核心业务数据从省域数据中心集中到全国数据中心，银行业务系统实行全国统一版本、统一平台，系统开发任务将主要集中在总行软件开发中心；与此同时，省分行科技部门也必然进行相应职能的调整，分散的前置系统将逐步集中，外围的程序开发将逐步统一，走集约化科技管理之路。这对市分行的科技工作产生了一定影响：一是软件开发的工作量逐渐减少，特别是前后台的业务应用系统程序开发已经没有必要。只能利用统一的开发平台，     

坚持“安全、服务、创新”实现科技与业务融合创新

作为中国工商银行最大的省级分行，中国工商银行广东省分行（以下称“我行”）信息系统生产、运维规模和管理难度是工商银行系统内和广东省金融机构中最大的。因此，在工商银行数据大集中后，顺应科技集约化的发展形势，我行总揽全局、准确定位，确立“灵活、快速、精干、互补”思路，坚持以“安全为基础、服务为核心、创新为方向”的宗旨，经过多年不懈努力，已基本建立由安全运行、产品创新和技术支持组成的科技管理体系，

Almanac of anticipations: The age of affluence—of anticipation—of anxiety—of automation—of discontinuity—of longing—of overkill—of space exploration

With this survey of developments in the futures field since 1945, I.F. Clarke completes his present series for Futures. He makes two major points: that forecasting techniques have become essential tools in the management of change; and that nuclear weapons and ecological problems have added a moral dimension to the study of the future. In the next issue of Futures he will start a new series on the range of future-thinking in the USA, from the expectations of the first settlers to the Star Wars programme.

对基层人民银行科技工作的几点建议

银监会分设后,人民银行将专司货币政策、金融稳定、金融服务三大职能。作为人民银行的分支机构,基层人民银行的工作重心也将从金融监管调整到这三大职能上来。人民银行的科技部门,就要积极运用科技手段,为人民银行履行新的职能发挥“服务、支持、促进、发展”的作用。一、围绕三大职能搭建五大平台经过“六五打基础、七五作准备、八五大发展”几个阶段后,人民银行相继实现了核算电算化、清算网络化和办公信息化。特别是近一两年来,陆续开通了大额支付系统、信贷登记咨询系统、会计四集中系统、金融信息服务网站等系统,人民银行信息化水平又…     

Properties of time-series estimates of degree of leverage measures

Empirical studies suggest that time-series regression estimates of the degrees of operating and financial leverage have a tendency to produce measures less than one. According to ex ante theory, these measures should be greater than one for firms operating above the breakeven point. There have also been suggestions that the biases in these estimates may be attributable to an underlying increase in unit sales. This work presents evidence that these counter-intuitive measures are produced by changes in the firm's operating parameters (unit price, variable cost, fixed cost and interest payments). It further suggests that attempts to control for the underlying change in unit sales substantially increase the volatility of predicted estimates.     

浅议金融机构的举证责任

金融纠纷案件是当事人以存单或进账单、对账单、存款合同、保险单、票据、证券等凭证为主要证据向人民法院提出诉讼的案件,对于不同种类金融纠纷的当事人的举证责任,我国现行的金融法律、法规及司法解释有不同的规定。由于金融机构的特殊法律地位,发生金融纠纷时存在有关当事人将最后偿付风险转移给金融机构承担的主观故意,在客观上会使金融机构难以提供相应的证据来对抗不法债权人的诉讼请求,而导致金融机构败诉。为此,对金融诉讼案件中金融机构的举证责任加以研究具有重要的实践意义。     

The Usefulness of Measures of Consistency of Discretionary Components of Accruals in the Detection of Earnings Management

Abstract:  Prior research has shown the prevalence of measurement error in models used to estimate aggregate discretionary accruals. In these models, the incremental information content of the various components of accruals is ignored. Limited prior research and data gathered from firms under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) litigation indicate that managers use either one or more than one component of accruals simultaneously, in a consistent way to manipulate bottom-line earnings in a given direction. I propose two measures that capture the consistency between the discretionary components of accruals and test their significance in earnings management (EM) detection in firms that have artificially added accrual manipulation and firms that were targeted by the SEC for accrual manipulation. There is evidence that this information is incrementally useful in detecting EM. This finding paves the way for improvements in the discretionary accruals measure by including consistency information from the components of aggregate accruals.     

Summary of Results of Survey of Seminar Attendees

Abstract

The Society of Actuaries undertook a three-phase research project on mortality improvement in the three NAFTA countries: Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. Phase 1 consisted of a literature review of papers on projecting mortality levels in the future and a study of the trend in mortality improvement during this century. Phase 2 consisted of a discussion of different facets of modeling mortality rates at a seminar attended by 79 experts (actuaries, demographers, economists, and medical researchers) representing different countries. The last session of the seminar consisted of the completion of a survey by the attendees to obtain input for Phase 3, which would analyze the impact of mortality improvement on the social security system of each country. This paper summarizes the results of the survey.

The survey results illustrate the difficulty in forecasting mortality levels, because the effects of many factors that could have significant impact on mortality rates are unknown. This suggests the need for dynamic forecasting, which allows for the possibility of random shocks. A majority of the survey respondents believe that stochastic forecasting models, despite their complexity, have significant potential to add value. Respondents also believe that both historical data and cause-specific mortality forecasts are useful as input and also in validating forecasts of the aggregate levels of mortality. The challenge is to develop more sophisticated forecasting models to produce results that are relatively easy to interpret and to communicate these results to the desired audiences, including the public and policymakers.

The survey results suggest that the aggregate effect of lifestyle changes, medical advances, diseases, catastrophe, and physical environmental changes is an increase in life span. However, there is much uncertainty about the future. Respondents expect that beyond the year 2020 the mean annual rate of reduction in mortality for males age 65 and over will average about 0.58% for Canada, 0.76% for Mexico, and 0.67% for the U.S. The results for the female age 65 and over population are 0.64%, 0.83%, and 0.70%, respectively. The age 65 and over population is expected to see larger percentage reductions in mortality than the 0–14 and 15–64 populations. The reductions in male and female mortality will be ultimately the same, and the mortality levels in the three countries will ultimately converge, although differences may persist for decades.     

Separation of Unit of Account from Medium of Exchange

The separation of a unit of account (UoA) from a medium of exchange (MoE) in the commodity–money system is investigated by considering explicitly a seller's choice of UoA in terms of either an MoE or a unit of metal weight. If the likelihood of debasement of an MoE and its rate are high enough, the price is posted in terms of a unit of metal weight rather than an MoE. Interestingly, this MoE–UoA separated equilibrium yields the flexible nominal price, whereas an MoE–UoA integrated equilibrium yields the sticky one. This implies the nominal price rigidity in the fiat‐money system where MoE and UoA are integrated.
