中国一东盟自由贸易区对广西北部湾经济的影响研究

中国一东盟自由贸易区的如期建成,给广西北部湾的经济发展带来了重大的发展机遇,同时也带来了严峻的挑战。广西应及时调整自己适应外在变化,认真分析与东盟国家在经济发展上存在的竞争性和经济互补性,加强与东盟国家的协调与合作,发挥自身竞争优势或通过分工获得相对优势,突出合作性,最终达成双赢或多赢。     

自由现金流、控制结构与投资——对A股和香港上市公司的比较研究

文章从控制结构和市场环境角度对A股和香港上市公司的投资—现金流敏感性作了比较研究。本文的研究发现,A股和香港上市公司的投资与自由现金流存在显著的正相关关系。控制结构是投资—现金流敏感性的影响因素,多数制衡控制、多数独占控制和少数状态依存控制结构的投资—现金流敏感性依次增加。处在不同的市场环境中,投资—现金流敏感性水平也会表现出差异。香港本地股的投资与自由现金流之间的相关关系最强,其次为A+H股和A股。     

信贷配给、流动性冲击和民营企业现金持有

融资约束的存在要求企业持有必要的现金以预防可能的流动性冲击。不同于以往研究,本文从融资数量的硬约束——信贷配给视角将企业现金持有水平及其经济后果的考察纳入到一个统一的理论框架,并运用实证的方法研究流动性冲击下我国民营上市公司的现金持有行为。研究表明：民营上市公司持有高额现金的原因出于在信贷配给约束下的预防性动机;在遭受流动性冲击时,增持现金对民营上市公司具有正向的价值效应,且信贷配给水平越高的企业这种正向效应越显著。     

产业内贸易对劳动力市场调整的影响分析——基于中国制造业面板数据的SAH检验

随着中国经济全球化进程的深化,外贸对国内经济的影响日益显著。根据平滑调整假说(SAH),劳动力市场调整成本会随着产业内贸易水平的提高而降低。基于中国制造业22个细分行业面板数据进行检验,本文发现间隔3年的边际内产业指数最为有效,且产业内贸易水平对劳动力市场调整具有滞后效应,但回归分析结果并不支持SAH。随着产业内贸易比例扩大,劳动力的产业间调整增加,而并非产业内的调整。此外,劳动生产率和国内显性需求对劳动力市场调整有很大影响,在产业内贸易水平较高的行业内,劳动生产率的这种影响更加显著,而显性需求和产业内贸易水平影响作用较弱。     

Microcredit games with noisy signals: Contagion and free-riding

The advent of microcredit financing has remarkably improved access to credit for the poor in many developing countries. Although several microcredit programs have adopted the joint liability scheme, economic theory suggests that joint liability could increase strategic default through contagion and free-riding. This paper aims at studying the extent of free-riding and contagion in joint liability lending. By using data from experimental repayment games conducted in Vietnam, with noisy signals that resemble actual microcredit programs, we found that subjects were motivated to free-ride under the joint liability scheme. While most empirical research in this area has focused on the problem of contagion, our findings point to the significance of investigating free-riding behavior under joint liability schemes. Analyses reveal that the free-riding tendency may be led by the irresponsiveness of repayment and shouldering behavior to the partner’s seemingly strategic default in the previous round.     

The Provision of Liquidity in the Swedish Note Banking System, 1878–1901

Abstract

The working of the “asset currency” provided by the Swedish note banking system in 1878–1901 is described. Natural and institutional conditions caused the demand for currency to peak in March and September, with troughs in July and January. The paper investigates how the Enskilda banks provided liquidity to solve the problem. This is done by describing how the volume of notes varied over the year, and how other balance sheet items co-moved with them. Strong seasonal co-variation is found particularly between lending and foreign payments media, varying like communicating vessels over the sailing season in May–October (when the sea was ice free and shipments were made).     

我国上市公司股权结构与现金股利政策关系研究——基于半参数模型的分析

多重委托代理关系的存在使得我国上市公司股权结构与现金股利政策之间的关系极其复杂。选取多个代理变量从不同的角度构建半参数模型,利用函数形式来刻画两者之间的非线性关系。利用我国565家上市公司的数据进行实证研究,结果表明:股权制衡度与现金分红数量之间存在倒"S"形关系,拐点分别在30%和60%左右;前十大股东持股比例与现金分红意愿及分红数量之间均存在明显的倒"U"形关系,拐点分别在60%和80%左右。     

铁路编组站布局的双层规划方法研究

运用双层规划对编组站布局问题进行描述,上层规划表示决策者为了达到车流组织最优而采取的最优投资策略,下层规划为给定编组站布局方案条件下的车流组织优化。通过对上层和下层问题分别剖析,构建了编组站布局的双层规划模型,考虑到模型的复杂性,提出应用遗传算法求解,并给出了求解策略。研究结果表明,双层规划方法适用于实际编组站布局问题决策。     

Is the relationship between investment and conditional cash flow volatility ambiguous,asymmetric or both?

We investigate the effect of cash flow volatility on investment. Our evidence suggests that financially constrained firms decrease investment (i) when experiencing persistently high volatility; (ii) when experiencing both high volatility and negative cash flow growth realisations; and (iii) when holding low cash levels and experiencing both high volatility and a negative cash flow growth realisations. In financially unconstrained firms, the above effects are either not found or are of relatively low economic importance. Overall, our findings lend support to the financial flexibility literature and tend to contradict predictions of the real options literature.
