Post-euro EU and US interest rates and foreign exchange rates: Are they in harmony or in disarray?

This paper focuses on: (1) how a select set of financial and economic factors could set the path for interest rates and foreign exchange rates, and (2) whether the resultant realized interest and exchange rates would be in harmony or in disarray. Using post-euro data for the EU and the US, an array of monetary rules is examined. In particular, the paper investigates whether the original and the extended Taylor rules provide an explanation of the dynamics of the EU monetary system since the inception of the euro. Our findings indicate that the EU and the US monetary responses are not the same and that exchange rates play a significant role.     

汇率风险对冲如何影响企业并购行为——基于自由现金流的视角

本文基于2001—2019年上市公司年报中关于外汇衍生品的使用信息,研究发现,使用外汇衍生品的上市公司相比未使用的公司发起并购的概率更低,但并购的市场和经营绩效有所提高。主要原因在于,中国上市公司进行并购通常以企业自有资金进行现金支付,外汇衍生品的使用大幅降低了公司出于预防性动机而持有的现金,从而降低了公司发起并购的概率。此外,进行汇率风险对冲可避免公司因持有大量自由现金流而发生的过度投资行为,从而提高了公司的投资效率。总体而言,使用外汇衍生品进行汇率风险对冲可使上市公司更注重并购质量而非并购数量,从而实现“少而精”的投资策略。本文研究对进一步厘清企业使用外汇衍生品的相关影响提供了一定参考。     

Driving organizational citizenship behaviors and salesperson in-role behavior performance: The role of management control and perceived organizational support

Interest in management control approaches and organizational factors associated with higher levels of salesperson performance is reflected in research streams concerned with behavior-based control strategies and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). This study makes two distinct additions to the literature relating to control, organizational citizenship behaviors and salesperson performance. First, the study distinguishes between salesperson in-role behavior performance and outcome performance to model in-role behavior performance as a mediator between OCB and outcome performance. Second, the work supports sales manager control as an antecedent to OCB. A second model introduces perceived organizational support (POS) as an additional antecedent to salesperson OCB, and more important, as a consequence of sales manager control. This construct has not been included in prior salesperson OCB studies. Results show sales manage control has a stronger impact on OCB through POS, than directly, and POS has a strong impact on salesperson OCB. Nigel F.

我国石油对外贸易流量分析与对策研究

石油是关系国家经济安全的重要战略物资，本文通过对我国石油进出口贸易一些流量指标的分析，发现：（1）石油净进口量过大，进口依存度偏高，并有逐年递增的趋势；（2）原油进口的地区集中度偏高，不利于石油资源供应稳定；（3）国际油价持续高企，对国内经济稳定造成威胁。并据此提出了相关政策建议。     

外商投资企业转移定价及其法律应对

"转移定价"是外商投资企业管理中一个十分突出的问题。转移定价行为带来了收入与支出的跨国不正常分配、带来了外商投资企业虚亏实盈、带来了外商直接投资的关联效应的降低。转移定价主要原因在于:我国相关税收法律制度的适应性相对薄弱、调整方法和使用顺序值得商榷、产生企业转移定价的根本性问题依然没有得到解决。对此,应完善我国关联交易转移定价相关法律规范,加强对关联交易转移定价信息披露的法律监管,同时,积极制定预约定价法律制度。

历史成本法下存货计价的比较研究

存货在大多数企业的流动资产中乃至总资产中所占的比重很大 ,因此存货价值的确定直接影响到企业经营成果的确定。不同的计价方法对企业财务状况、盈亏情况都会产生不同的影响。本文通过实例来研究在通货膨胀期间 ,采用历史成本法对存货进行核算 ,无论在永续盘存制下 ,还是在定期盘存制下都会得出 ,先进先出法算出的期末存货额最高 ,销货成本额最低 ,毛利和税后净利最高。后进先出法算出的期末存货额最低 ,销货成本额最高 ,毛利和税后净利最低。加权平均法和移动平均法介于两者之间。
