An analysis of the effect of mandatory adoption of IAS/IFRS on earnings management

This paper examines whether mandatory adoption of international accounting standards, IAS/IFRS, by French companies is associated with lower earnings management. In addition, the impact of six factors that may be related to earnings management level are also considered: the independence and the efficiency of the board of directors, the separation of roles of CEO and Chairman of the board, the existence of an independent audit committee, the existence of block shareholders, the quality of the external audit and the listing on foreign financial markets.Based on a sample of 353 French listed groups relating to the period 2003–2006, our results show that the mandatory adoption of IAS/IFRS is associated with a reduction in the earnings management level. In addition, the independence and the efficiency of the board of directors, the existence of an independent audit committee, the existence of block shareholders, the quality of the external audit and the listing on foreign financial markets are important factors for enforcement of IAS/IFRS in France. Mandatory adoption of IAS/IFRS has decreased earnings management level for companies with good corporate governance and those that depend on foreign financial markets.

块状世界的经济学——空间经济学点评

The major subjects of the Spatial Economics are studying the spatial distributions of economic activities, investigating those factors and mechanism determining the spatial style of economic activities, and reintroducing the spatial factor neglected by the Mainstream Economics for a long period into the general equilibrium frame. This paper presents the main research object of the Spatial Economy, as well as its＇ foundations, the catalog and artifice of those theoretical models, and main insights of the Spatial Economy, evaluates the theoretical improvement of the Spatial Economy in brief.     

Spatial welfare economics versus ecological footprint: modeling agglomeration,externalities and trade

A welfare framework for the analysis of the spatial dimensions of sustainability is developed. It covers agglomeration effects, interregional trade, negative environmental externalities, and various land use categories. The model is used to compare rankings of spatial configurations according to evaluations based on social welfare and ecological footprint indicators. Five spatial configurations are considered for this purpose. The exercise is operationalized with the help of a two-region model of the economy, that is, in line with the ‘new economic geography.’ By generating a number of numerical ‘counter-examples,’ it is shown that the footprint method is inconsistent with an approach aimed at maximum social welfare. Unless environmental externalities are such a large problem that they overwhelm all other components of economic well-being, a ‘spatial welfare economic’ approach delivers totally different rankings of alternative land use configurations than the ecological footprint.

本文对外国直接投资与产业集聚这一领域内的前沿研究成果进行梳理,对该理论的发展脉络进行述评,并从外国直接投资溢出效应和其他方面综述了近年来国内外有关外国直接投资与产业集聚的实证研究。在对外国直接投资作用于产业集聚制约因素分析的基础上,提出了金融环境因素这一新视角,该视角在外国直接投资促进产业集聚过程中起着至关重要的作用,却被学者们所忽视。毋庸置疑,该视角未来的研究将对我国外国直接投资与产业集聚研究具有重要意义。     

创意企业集聚区环境优化设计——基于竞争优势视角的研究

建设创意企业集聚区是"十二五"期间城市加快创意产业发展的重要手段,各级政府纷纷出台创意企业集聚区的认定标准,但内容上参差不齐。本文构建了创意企业集聚区"环境六维度"对创意企业竞争优势的作用机制模型,随后在杭州市十家文化创意集聚区内采集了160份有效样本,运用结构方程模型对概念化模型进行数理化拟合。结果表明,政策支持、集聚区特色和入驻企业、地理区位、管理配套、孵化服务、集体声誉等环境要素,以创意企业智力资本(人力资本、结构资本、关系资本)为中介,对创意企业竞争优势产生作用。各级管理部门可以依据"环境六维度"优化设计创意企业集聚区认定标准,突出政策支持和集体声誉的重要性及全面性,发挥其余环境要素对提升企业竞争优势的针对性。
