Is faster or slower trading better? An examination of order type execution speed and costs

We examine order type execution speed and costs for US equity traders. Marketable orders that execute slower exhibit lower execution costs. Those who remove liquidity faster and pay higher trading costs transact in smaller size, spread trading across more venues, take more liquidity, and are better informed. Nonmarketable limit orders that execute slower exhibit greater adverse selection; and larger, uninformed traders who concentrate their trading in fewer venues submit them. Our findings suggest that slowing down the trading process, when faster options exist, can benefit certain market participants who seek to cross the bid–ask spread.     

Effects of cross-border capital flows on stock returns of dual-listed firms in mainland China and Hong Kong: Evidence from a natural experiment

This study analyses the effects of the Shanghai–Hong Kong Stock Market Connect policy on the price disparity between A-shares and H-shares of dual-listed companies (DLC). Using a difference-in-difference estimation method, we show that the policy decreases the relative twin cumulative abnormal returns of treated DLC by 3% and narrows the price gaps between A-shares and H-shares. We determine that the rising demand for H-shares, which are newly accessible by mainland investors, drives the price of H-shares up. By contrast, the price of A-shares remains unchanged. Further analysis reveals that cross-border capital flow is the main force of the policy.

The influence of management team continuation on inefficient investment after family firms inheritance

The purpose of this study is to explore how the executive team continuation affects the successor's investment decisions. To this end, we use data of Chinese A‐share listed heritage family enterprises. The findings reveal that executive team continuation has a negative impact on inefficient investment. At the same time, the successor's control rights have a moderating effect on the relationship between the executive team continuation and the successor's investment decisions. In addition, further research shows that the heterogeneity of senior executives' tenure, the number of independent directors, and the distribution of senior executives' professional backgrounds are conducive to explaining the internal mechanism of the continuation of the management team.

Remaking Shanghai: New Divisions in an Expanding Metropolis

This study of Shanghai analyzes the city's emerging patterns of residential settlement in 2010. Most previous research on China focused on central city patterns, but by 2010 urban development in major metropolitan areas was taking place predominantly in the suburbs. The analysis re‐examines and extends previous studies of the level of segregation by various key population characteristics, showing that the highest segregation is found in the suburban ring, where original villager residents are now joined by an influx of migrants from other regions and by intracity movers. We probe the sources of the segregation pattern in multivariate analyses at two scales—an innovative analysis at the level of individuals that shows how people's citizenship status, occupation and education affect the type of housing that they are able to live in, and jointly contribute to their location in the metropolitan area. We show that the patterns attributable to the market reform period mostly did not supplant the socialist urban structure, but rather used it as its foundation. Segregation today can be attributed less to current class inequality than to state policies in the distant and recent past that have determined when, where and for whom housing is built.     

跨境资本流动宏观审慎管理与资本管制的比较研究

充分发挥跨境资本流动宏观审慎管理和资本管制这两种工具的比较优势,对于维护我国金融稳定具有重大的现实意义。跨境资本流动宏观审慎管理通过改变境内借款者向境外贷款所面临的实际利率,提高境内借款人的融资成本,遏制其过度借贷,具有防范化解的特征,适合常规使用;资本管制通过阻断境内居民与非居民间的金融交易,隔离国内和国际金融市场,具有强制性特征,可作为最后手段。这两种政策工具都有一定的负面影响,也可能降低繁荣时期的经济增长速度。在新的国内外形势下,我国应进一步完善跨境资本流动预警监测体系,优化管理框架和法律制度,丰富政策工具箱,强化货币政策和跨境资本流动管理政策的双支柱调控框架,加强政策工具之间的协调与配合,强化信息披露和预期引导,加强与主体经济体的政策协调。

Cost Analysis of Calcium in Store Brand versus National Brand Grocery Products

Objective: This study was to determine if calcium fortification yields a higher price per serving in grocery store products. Researchers compared store brand to national brand grocery products in relation to cost in order to examine if calcium values were similar between store brand and national brand products. Methods: A total of 112 store brand and 211 national brand grocery products were collected from three low (national chain store), middle and high priced (Virginia and North Carolina regional store) grocery venues. Products were compared using price and calcium percentage per serving. ANOVA was used to determine between store brand and national brand for price per serving and calcium content, and between grocery venues. Results: National brand fortified products had a significantly lower mean price per serving when compared to national brand non-fortified products (p = 0.0002). There was no statistical difference between store brand fortified and non-fortified products (p = 0.9256). Low priced store brand products had the lowest mean price per serving ($0.34 ±0.24). Conclusions: This study found store brand products have similar calcium content as national brand products. Product cost was lower at low priced store compared to middle and high priced stores.
