金融消费者保护体系的七道防线

金融消费者,乃金融产业发展的根基。保护金融消费者的合法权益,对维护社会公平正义、推动金融行业健康发展至关重要。美国的次贷危机已经为我们敲响警钟,对于金融消费者利益的漠视将给整个金融行业带来灾难。我国金融业目前尚处于初级阶段,抵御风险能力较差,更需要打造一个＂消费者自我保护、金融企业自觉、行业自律、政府监管、司法保护、理论研究以及社会舆论监督＂相结合的金融消费者保护体系,这是一个任重道远的过程。     

美国金融监管的历史性变革——评析《多德-弗兰克法案》

为提升美国金融体系的稳定性和保护金融消费者利益,<多德-弗兰克华尔街改革和消费者保护法案>于2010年7月21日正式生效,该法案被认为是<格拉斯-斯蒂格尔法>以来最为重要的银行监管法案.该法案的内容主要包括加强对消费者权益的保护,预防系统性风险,改变金融机构"大而不能倒"的局面,加强对金融衍生品、信用评级机构、对冲基金...     

How would Swiss consumers decide if they had freedom of choice? Evidence from a field study with organic,conventional and GM corn bread

In 2005, the Swiss expressed their negative attitude towards genetic engineering in agriculture by voting in favor of a ban to use genetically modified (GM) crops in domestic agriculture. At the same time, certain GM food products remain approved but are not on offer since retailers assume that consumers would shun labeled GM food. In our study we tested this claim by conducting a large-scale field study with Swiss consumers. In our experimental design, three clearly labeled types of corn bread were offered at five different market stands across the French and German-speaking part of Switzerland: one made with organic, one made with conventional, and one made with genetically modified (GM) corn. In addition, we tested the consistency between purchasing decision at the market stand and the previous voting decision on GMOs in 2005 by means of an ex-post questionnaire. The results of our discrete choice analysis show that Swiss consumers treat GM foods just like any other type of novel food. We conclude from our findings that consumers tend to appreciate transparency and freedom of choice even if one of the offered product types is labeled as containing a genetically modified ingredient. Retailers should allow consumers to make their own choice and accept the fact that not all people appear to be afraid of GM food.     

Investor sentiment and the mean–variance relation

This study shows the influence of investor sentiment on the market's mean–variance tradeoff. We find that the stock market's expected excess return is positively related to the market's conditional variance in low-sentiment periods but unrelated to variance in high-sentiment periods. These findings are consistent with sentiment traders who, during the high-sentiment periods, undermine an otherwise positive mean–variance tradeoff. We also find that the negative correlation between returns and contemporaneous volatility innovations is much stronger in the low-sentiment periods. The latter result is consistent with the stronger positive ex ante relation during such periods.     

基金产品零售中的金融消费者保护研究

国内金融消费者保护尚处于探索阶段,专项法律和制度规范仍属空白。针对基金产品零售市场各参与主体行为的研究发现:法律制度对于基金零售业中的消费者保护必不可少;基金公司与银行存在相互搭便车的可能,法律制度的设置应以市场福利最大化为目标;惩罚性赔偿体现了法律对金融消费者有效保护的力度和对机构采取不当行为的威慑作用;消费者应对不同购买渠道的选择承担相应责任。两点立法启示:专项法律制度应注重对不同市场主体的利益权衡,以提高市场福利为目标,防止机构间搭便车行为;对于选择不同销售渠道购买基金的消费者,赔偿额应有区别,既要保护消费者合法权益,又要防止对其产生逆向激励。     

“共同创造”思想的兴起及其内涵浅析

“共同创造”思想自20世纪90年代提出后,受到了学术界的普遍重视,已成为MSI未来两年的优先研究课题。“共同创造”思想的兴起源于消费者角色的演化、营销主导逻辑的转换和价值创造过程的转变。解析“共同创造”思想的逻辑起点并从行为主体、客体或对象、行为内容及其本质特征等方面对“共同创造”思想进行分析,有益于该领域研究的发展与深化。     

农村消费需求对经济增长贡献的实证分析——以1985—2008年河南省数据为例

文章利用扩展线性支出系统模型,以1985—2008年河南省数据为例,分析了农村居民边际消费倾向和农村居民家庭消费需求收入弹性,测算了农村消费需求时经济增长的贡献率与拉动率。研究结果表明：河南省农村消费对经济的贡献率很小,大部分是依靠城镇消费和政府投资来拉动经济增长;河南省农村市场不论是生活消费品还是生产资料的需求潜力巨大,开拓未来河南省农村消费市场大有可为。     

调节收入分配 促进国内消费

我国经济快速发展,但却存在国内消费不足的问题,究其原因在于居民可支配收入比重偏低,居民收入差距增大,收入增长慢于经济增长,初次分配秩序不够规范合理,再分配体系尚不健全,社会保障体系尚不健全。我国应调整收入结构,提高劳动者的报酬,强化社会保障体系建设,规范收入分配秩序,让国民富裕起来,以促进国内消费,保持经济可持续增长,提高人民生活水平。     

投资者情绪、会计应计与超额回报——基于中国上市公司的实证分析

以我国上市公司1999至2007年的数据为样本,从行为金融学中投资者情绪的角度,深刻剖析投资者情绪对基于会计应计投资策略获得超额回报的影响。研究发现:1、持有会计应计比例低公司的股票,在投资者情绪低迷时期获得的超额回报会大于投资者情绪高昂时期;同样的,持有会计应计比例高公司的股票,在投资者情绪高昂时期产生的投资亏损要大于投资者情绪低迷时期;2、机构投资者持股比例小的公司的股价,更容易受投资者情绪的影响,因而,基于会计应计策略的超额回报在不同情绪下的差异要大于机构持股比例大的公司。本文试图从投资者情绪的角度,分析其对"应计异象"的影响,并且进一步证明,机构持股大小会干扰其影响的程度。     

Investor sentiment and the financial crisis: a sentiment-based portfolio theory perspective

The article proposes a portfolio model subjected to a constraint that captures the investor’s goal, with maximum estimation of expected return that is affected by investor sentiment. And we give a solution of the portfolio model by exploring the geometric features. Furthermore, we discuss the relationship between investor sentiment and the financial crisis by analysing the optimal allocation. The results show that: when investor sentiment is low enough, the investor should reject the investment, this condition leads the depression financial market to prevail, then the financial crisis erupts; when investor sentiment is modest, the financial crisis is difficult to erupt unless the decline of investor sentiment is quick and deep; but there is a special status that the financial crisis is caused by other factors rather than by investor sentiment; and only improving investor sentiment cannot move away from the financial crisis.
