金融危机应对政策的有效性:基于40起事件的实证研究

本文以20世纪80年代以来世界范围内40次重要的系统性银行危机为基础,对金融危机后常见的15种应对措施进行了系统的实证评价.结果表明,系统性银行危机发生后,大规模政府干预、流动性支持(紧急贷款)、重新资本化、银行关闭和兼并是使用频率最高的5项措施,但大规模政府干预和流动性支持往往伴随着较高的财政成本,而重新资本化和兼并则分别伴随着危机持续时间的延长和产出损失的上升.一揽子担保计划虽有助于提高危机期间的经济增长率,但危机后的经济增长却相对较低.国有化措施不仅会产生较高的财政成本,通常还伴随着较高的产出损失.存款人承担损失和IMF援助这两种措施有助于缩短危机持续时间,但IMF援助通常伴随着较高的财政成本和危机期间较低的经济增长率.     

后金融危机时代农民工权益贫困化与出路的深层次思考

后金融危机时代农民工权益贫困化问题凸现,其实质是合法权益实现的贫困化。用权力行为的公正维护农民工合法财产权益,体现制度优越性;用劳动的正义捍卫体面劳动,实现劳动权益的合法性;用人权的神圣捍卫农民工自我发展权,体现和谐社会"以人为本"的价值理念。这需要在机制改革、制度建设与政策调整上的政治共识和政治智慧。     

从国际金融危机看新加坡的国家治理

新加坡作为亚洲四小龙之一,以国家资本主义模式特立于世,是高度出口依赖、本地资源匮乏的国家,出口贸易和国际金融中心运营是主要经济支柱,国际人才战略是新加坡立于不败的根本。在国际金融危机来临时,新加坡应对措施及时、适当,加之国企公司治理制度的良好基础,使得它在2009年迅速恢复元气。新加坡成功的国家治理经验值得中国借鉴。     

政策时滞与战略超越——评日本经济危机对策

非干预主义者一般抓住政策的时滞问题以否认斟酌处置的财政政策的有效性。日本政府通过把经济危机对策与产业结构调整战略的有机结合,弱化了斟酌处置财政政策的时滞问题对政策效果造成的负面影响,推动了产业结构的调整,为提升日本在下一轮经济增长中的国家竞争力做了准备。     

日本灾后财政和债务前景展望

日本是发达经济体中财政赤字和政府债务负担最严重的国家。接二连三的欧洲主权债务危机和美国主权债务问题使市场不得不对日本是否将是下一个债务危机发生国产生隐忧。在2008年全球金融危机爆发前,日本的债务结构和低利率环境还可以使其维系高额的财政赤字和债务负担。然而2008年之后,在全球经济疲软和日本经济萎靡不振的背景下,日本处在了主权债务风险一直上升的阶段。更令日本祸不单行的是"3.11"大地震、海啸和核泄露事件,这一连串灾难更令日本在财政赤字和举债问题上如履薄冰。如果日本政府还不尽快实施有效的债务管理政策和可信的财政整顿计划,短期日本经济会难于运转,中长期日本将爆发主权债务危机。     

美国次贷危机对中国资产证券化的再审视

美国次贷危机发生的主要原因是由于资产证券化的过快过滥发展导致的,但并不能因此而否定资产证券化。本文针对我国资产证券化的现状及存在的问题进行分析,就中国资产证券化的发展如何应对风险提出相应的策略和措施。     

A Micro-Approach for Testing Marx's LTRPF: Evidence from Greece, 2000 and 2009

This article develops a novel micro-approach for the empirical evaluation of Marx's law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall. Contrary to the traditional method which uses national macroeconomic data, this approach utilises data taken directly from company reports and accounts. The principal advantage of this approach is that it provides an accurate measurement of the value composition of capital, devoid of the measurement limitations of the traditional method regarding variable capital which stem from the inability to distinguish productive from unproductive labour. A disadvantage, however, is that this approach does not cover the entire national economy. The application of the proposed micro-approach to the ongoing Greek crisis yields results which are congruent with the traditional method and reinforce other recent studies linking the current crisis with low profitability.     

Assessing time-varying stock market integration in Economic and Monetary Union for normal and crisis periods

In this paper, we examine the stock market integration process amongst 17 Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) countries from January 2002 to June 2013 over a normal period as well as for the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and Eurozone Debt Crisis (EDC) periods. We classify the economies in three groups (A, B and C) based on their GDP to examine whether the economic size influences financial integration. Seven indicators are used for the purpose, namely, beta convergence, sigma convergence, variance ratio, asymmetric DCC, dynamic cointegration, market synchronisation measure and common components approach. The results suggest that large-sized EMU economies (termed as Group A) exhibit strong stock market integration. Moderate integration is observed for middle-sized EMU economies with old membership (termed as Group B). Small-sized economies (termed as Group C) economies seemed to be least integrated within the EMU stock market system. The findings further suggest presence of contagion effects as one moves from normal to crisis periods, which are specifically stronger for more integrated economies of Group A. We recommend institutional, regulatory and other policy reforms for Group B and especially Group C to achieve higher level of integration.     

产权管制放松博弈与中国农业生产危机——基于结构突变面板数据模型的实证分析

基于产权管制放松的分析视角，本文构建一个政治风险下农民和国家的动态博弈模型来解释中国两次农业生产危机。此外，本文利用1959—1961年与1970—1977年两次中国农业生产危机的省级面板数据对理论模型进行了实证检验。结构突变面板计量结果表明，国家不会主动削弱自己的谈判能力，除非政策失误或外部竞争压力造成的冲击才可能迫使它在产权管制放松的博弈谈判中让步。     

Firm Shutdown During the Financial and the Sovereign Debt Crises: Empirical Evidence from Portugal

This paper examines Portuguese firms’ survival over the business cycle and investigates whether the effect of firm size varies across the phases of the cycle and with the type of shock associated with periods of economic contraction. Our results show that smaller firms are more likely to shut down than larger firms. Within each size band, however, we found that during the two crises examined, micro firms experienced hazards of closing (relative to large firms) at least similar to those observed in the pre-crisis period, while medium-sized firms were found to have been more vulnerable during the financial crisis period but showed more resilience during the sovereign debt crisis. The results suggest that during the sovereign debt crisis, firms faced a higher probability of closing than they did during the financial crisis.
