主权评级对市场影响的实证分析

主权评级作为市场信息传递中介备受质疑。本文考察了目前欧洲债务危机中的主权评级,采用固定效应模型分别研究三大评级机构主权评级观察及评级降级对欧元区国家融资成本的市场影响。结果表明,主权评级对于市场长期影响不是很大,其中独立的降级影响不显著;评级负面观察的市场影响较评级降级的独立影响显著;评级观察及降级变化尽管对高级别国家的影响有限,但对A级以下的国家有明显的冲击影响。评级结果可能加剧了欧洲债务危机的解决难度。     

主权信用评级的金融市场溢出效应研究——基于欧洲主权债务危机的实证分析

欧洲主权债务危机爆发以来,三大评级机构频繁下调欧元区国家的主权信用评级,这在某种程度上催化了危机的蔓延。危机期间,三大评级机构频繁下调欧元区国家特别是"欧猪五国"的主权信用评级,引起了金融市场的明显波动。本文对2008年10月31日至2012年1月13日期间"欧猪五国"主权信用评级变化的国内、跨国金融市场溢出效应以及不同评级机构主权信用评级信息的金融市场溢出效应分别进行实证研究,得出了一系列结论。     

欧债危机再思考

<正>欧债危机已持续三年,形势未见好转,反而愈演愈烈,近期希腊组阁失败以及西班牙银行系统危机,使得欧洲再次成为是非焦点。一、危机背景2009年12月,全球三大信用评级机构下调希腊主权债务评级,希腊主权债务危机爆发。2010年7月国际评级机构穆迪下调葡萄牙主权信用评级,欧债危机开始向欧元区其他国家蔓延。2010年12月,穆迪大幅下调爱尔兰主权信用评级。2011年3月穆迪下调了西班牙的主权信用评级,欧债危机开始从欧元区外围国家向核心国家进一步蔓延。2011年9月,标准普尔公司将欧元

信用评级劲吹“变革风”

近来，国际评级机构屡屡对欧洲国家评级。以标普1月13日大举下调欧洲九国信用评级、法国首次丧失AAA评级为标志，国际评级机构掀起的新一轮“降级潮”。穆迪投资者服务公司2月13日宣布下调意大利和西班牙等欧元区六国的主权信用评级，同时将法国、英国和奥地利三国的评级展望定为负面，反映了欧元区主权债务危机给这些国家带来的金融和宏观经济风险。信用评级直接影响一国的资产价格与金融市场稳定，评级结果直接决定企业融资成本，制约其生存与发展空间，且变相掌握了企业的生杀大权。

欧洲主权债务危机对我国地方政府债务管理的启示

近期,随着国际评级机构下调希腊、葡萄牙、西班牙国家主权债务评级后又下调了意大利国家主权债务评级,欧洲主权债务危机出现进一步恶化的趋势,欧元区经济出现极大的风险性并导致全球经济出现不稳定性。由于中国经济对稳定世界经济金融的重要性,中国地方债务是否也会像欧元区一样出现危机,也成为当前世界关注的一个重点,特别是国际货币基金组织近日对中国地方政府债务风险给予极大关注和担忧。本文拟重点研究当前我国地方债务风险与欧洲主权债务危机本质区别,并通过欧洲主权债务危机成因的分析,探讨对我国地方政府负债管理的启     

信用评级监管新动态及对中国的启示

2008年全球金融危机以来,国际三大评级公司的评级行为及结论受到高度关注。在次贷危机中,信用评级机构对与次贷相关的衍生产品评级出现误判;对次贷风险未能及时作出反应,而后又反应过度。在欧洲主权债务危机中,美国三大评级机构一次次的对欧洲国家信用降级带来的是危机的逐步升级。信用评级机构究竟是在警示危机,还是在加剧危机?国际社会要求对信用评级机构加强监管的呼声正在不断高涨。     

基于技术效率视角的欧元区国家主权债务危机原因分析

本文主要从技术效率的角度分析欧债危机爆发的原因。本文首先回顾已有文献对于欧债危机的原因分析,然后测度了欧元区国家的技术效率,最后实证检验了技术效率对欧元区国家主权债务的影响。研究表明,欧元区国家技术效率差异明显,法国和德国等国家的技术效率相对较高,而爆发主权债务危机的希腊、意大利、葡萄牙以及西班牙的技术效率相对较低,位列欧元区国家最后几名;技术效率的下降会加重政府公共债务比重。首先,技术效率加剧了经济发展不平衡程度。其次,经济水平发展比较低的国家在货币一体化下倾向于发债或向其他国家政府或机构借款。最后,随着公共债务占GDP比重的不断攀升,最终引发主权债务危机。     

欧洲主权债务危机的成因分析

在2008年金融危机的背景下,希腊等欧元区国家相继爆发了主权债务危机,欧洲乃至全球的经济受到了严重的影响,因此欧洲主权债务危机问题引起了广泛关注。本文结合前人已有的研究,从危机发生国的内部过度举债、产业结构不合理和欧元区制度不合理与外部2008年全球金融危机的冲击和国际评级机构的推泼助澜两个角度来分析造成欧洲主权债务危机的原因。     

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 case for management history

This article defines the case for treating management history as a discrete subject area, although one closely related to business, accounting, labour, and industrial history. It seeks to concentrate on the nature, process, and practice of management as an activity within the organization, and to argue that it is important that modern British managers understand the intellectual and cultural roots of their profession, since without these they will tend to be swayed by short-term management 'fads'. Within the broad topic there are several identifiable sub-areas for potential exploration, including the comparative historical development of management between different countries, management institutions, managerial careers and labour markets, management structures, management skills, and management thought and theory.     

The life and career of John Spence Ogilvy (1805-71), the first chartered accountant to emigrate to Australia

So far as the available evidence allows, this paper examines the life and career of John Spence Ogilvy, foundation member of the Society of Accountants in Edinburgh in 1854, who emigrated to Melbourne in 1856, but did not play a part in the development of an organized accounting profession in Australia. The paper also attempts to explain the gap of thirty-two years between the formation of the first accounting bodies in Edinburgh and Melbourne.

The Impact of IFRS Adoption on an Agribusiness Company's Financial Statements

This fictional case is based on a Canadian public company that produces greenhouse vegetables. Focusing on the differences between International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE), this case provides students an opportunity to (1) apply IFRS in a real world setting; (2) prepare and reconcile financial statements under ASPE and IFRS; (3) analyze the impact of IFRS adoption on key financial ratios; and (4) detect and explain differences in financial statements under ASPE and IFRS through common size analysis.
