Does financial regulation affect the profit efficiency and risk of banks? Evidence from China's commercial banks

The goal of financial regulation is to enable banks to improve liquidity and solvency. Stricter regulation may be good for bank stability, but not for bank efficiency. This research aims to examine whether banks have met the CBRC's standard of financial regulations and explores how the previously implemented financial regulations have affected bank efficiency and risk in the past. In addition, we also explored the trade-off relationship between efficiency and risk. Unlike other studies, this study used bank assets as a classification standard from the financial risk and differential regulatory perspective.The empirical results indicate that the CBRC regulates the provision coverage ratio and cost-to-income ratio, which seems relevant to large banks and the loan-to-deposit ratio, capital adequacy ratio, and leverage ratio, which seems relevant to small banks. The CBRC regulates the current ratio to reduce the risks of banks. Based on our empirical results, the current ratio did not affect the risks and led to different efficiency results between large and small banks. In an environment with asymmetric information, a bank decision-making is unobservable. The characteristics of financial regulation provide market clues if a bank is operating at the most efficiency and risk condition.     

家族企业创业导向和企业绩效的关系

目前家族企业的相关研究还主要集中于治理模式、代际传承、资本管理与融资等方面,而家族企业的创业研究并不常见。本研究以家族企业为背景,对家族企业创业导向和绩效各维度进行梳理,并提出相关研究假设,为今后对家族企业创业导向和家族企业绩效之间的内在关系和作用机制的进一步研究做铺垫。     

Marketing Metrics Use in a Transition Economy: The Case of Vietnam

ABSTRACT

This article explores the use of marketing metrics by a sample of Vietnamese firms, providing an example of the use of marketing metrics in a “transition” economy as it grows and becomes more market and marketing driven. The analysis reports usage frequency and then develops a set of “correlation chains” linking firm characteristics, metric use, and various indicators of performance. Vietnamese managers generally report that several types of metrics are used. Ownership structure and industry also impact which metrics are utilized. An initial assessment of chains relating metric use to firm performance indicates that the impact is complex and indirect.     

“X-非效率”与电网企业经营绩效评估

评价自然垄断的效率问题不能仅从理论出发，而要从电网企业实际经营绩效判断。国家电网公司经营绩效评估可以按市场活力、技术创新、内部管理、社会责任4个领域的指标进行分析，可进一步细分为24个子指标。绩效评估指标体系的实证分析表明，国家电网公司的经营绩效为较好，至少并不存在所谓的“X-非效率”问题，也反映了政府对电网企业的监管是有效的。未来改革的关键不在于打破垄断或者输变电一体化与否，而在于继续完善监管体系、进而形成更加富有激励的制度安排。     

对劳动法价值的思考

劳动法是调整劳动关系的法律，劳动法的存在是为了保护劳动关系中处于弱势的一方劳动者，是国家对劳动力市场的正当干预。正确认识劳动法的价值不仅有利于劳动法的实施，有利于劳动力市场的健康发展，更有利于保护劳动者人权和维护社会和谐稳定。     

授之以鱼,还是授之以渔?——区域经济平衡政策的比较研究

以平衡地区差距为落脚点的公共财政有两个主要的支出途径:直接补贴落后地区或改善地区间的交易条件.通过新经济地理(NEG)模型比较这两个途径在维持一定的集聚水平和增长率基础上缩小地区差距的不同经济效应,分析说明单纯的转移支付不是缩小地区差距的长久之计,而以基础设施为切入点的交易效率增进政策,能够在缩小地区差距的同时发挥集聚经济的优势,提升总体的经济增长率.     

我国刑罚轻缓化的经济分析——兼论罚金刑和自由刑的适用

刑罚轻缓化已经成为刑罚结构改革的总体趋势,通过对刑罚轻缓化的经济分析,我们可以挖掘出刑罚轻缓化背后深层次的原因,那就是＂高概率的惩罚与轻刑化＂的组合是预防和控制犯罪最为经济有效的方式,而轻刑化即我们所谓的刑罚轻缓化。在刑罚轻缓化的背景之下,透视罚金刑与自由刑的适用,我们可以发现罚金刑更符合刑罚轻缓化之意旨,应提升到主刑的地位,未来我国的刑罚结构改革也应以罚金刑为主导,而自由刑只起辅助的作用。     

Signalling with official interest rates: the case of the German discount and lombard rate

A major characteristic of the operating procedure of the European Central Bank (ECB) is its reliance on standing facilities. It is intended that the official rates on those facilities also serve the function of signalling. The case of Germany, where the Bundesbank followed a similar signalling strategy, is analysed. In particular the paper investigates whether announcements of official interest rates provide information not already contained in other policy measures and whether the resulting revisions of expectations are efficient. Significant differences are found between signalling in the case of increasing and decreasing interest rates.
