Bank business models and liquidity creation

Using a large panel of US bank holding companies from 2001 to 2015, this study investigates the association between functional diversification and bank liquidity creation. I document evidence of lower liquidity creation for higher diversification. The effect of moving into nontraditional activities on liquidity creation is more apparent with large banks and less pronounced with small banks. The impact of diversification on liquidity creation is less significant during the late stage of crisis and is more clearly observed in small and medium-sized banks. Low liquidity creation banks, leveraged by a higher share of non-interest income, are more likely to further decrease their liquidity creation. The study is of interest to regulators and policymakers who are concerned about bank business models.     

The angel investment decision: insights from Australian business angels

While much has been written about the investment criteria of business angels, few studies explore why these particular criteria are important to them. The Australian context has a diverse range of actors along with complex jurisdictional arrangements, making for an interesting background for investigation of the angel finance phenomenon. We examine 12 business angels in the rapidly changing Australian context and use nine corroborating participants to validate responses and identify four key drivers – personal experience, trust, the need to contribute and realistic expectations – that influence business angels during the initial investment process.     

Politically connected boards,family and business group affiliations,and cost of capital: Evidence from Indonesia

We investigate the effect of politically connected boards (both supervisory boards [SBs] and boards of directors [BODs]) on cost of debt and equity capital of listed companies in Indonesia which has established a two-tier corporate governance system. The results, based on 250 firms, suggest that companies with politically connected SBs experience lower cost of debt and equity capital, whereas politically connected BODs have no association with cost of either debt or equity. Furthermore, we find that family firms and firms belonging to business groups with politically connected SBs enjoy lower cost of debt and equity capital. Our main results are robust to alternative measures and to tests for endogeneity.     

企业税负粘性研究:基于税务机关税收稽查的视角

以中国A股上市公司2008~2017年的数据为样本进行研究，发现我国上市公司存在明显的税负粘性现象，即营业收入减少时企业税负的减少量小于营业收入等额增加时企业税负的增加量。进一步研究发现，上述企业税负粘性受到税务机关税收稽查的影响，国税税收稽查收入比率显著影响企业税负粘性，地税税收稽查收入比率对企业税负粘性的影响不显著。最后，我们还发现企业税负粘性程度在不同产权性质的企业中存在显著不同，同时，国税税收稽查收入比率对产权性质不同的企业产生的影响也存在差异，国税税收稽查收入比率对国有企业税负粘性的影响在不显著，在非国有企业中则是显著的。     

税收执法提升了企业财务报告质量吗——基于“金税工程三期”的准自然实验

以2011~2018年中国A股上市公司为样本，以税务稽查系统改革"金税工程三期"为准自然实验，探讨税收执法的公司治理效应，采用双重差分模型，实证检验了金税工程三期改革对企业财务报告质量的影响。研究发现：金税工程三期改革显著提升了企业财务报告质量。金税工程三期改革的公司治理效应在治理环境较弱、信息透明度更低、融资需求更高的公司表现得更为显著。从作用机制来看，金税工程三期改革显著增强了税收执法力度，减少了企业的避税行为。     

房产税促进地区产业结构优化的路径与异质性表现——产业转移和企业创新视角的沪渝比较

房地产市场过度繁荣带来的房价过快上涨会影响要素流动和企业行为，进而加剧资源错配，不利于地区产业结构优化。征收房产税可以有效抑制房价过快上涨，通过地区相对房价的下降减轻资源错配程度，并从影响产业转移和推动企业创新两条路径促进地区产业结构优化。运用合成控制法对上海和重庆房产税改革试点的政策效应进行评估，结果表明：重庆的房产税政策有效抑制了房价过快上涨，促进了先进产业的转入和创新水平的提高，进而显著提高了地区产业结构合理化和高级化水平，地区产业结构优化效应明显；上海的房产税政策对房价上涨的抑制作用不明显，高房价阻碍了高技能人才的流入，导致其产业高级化水平的提高更多依赖于低端服务业的发展，不利于地区产业结构合理化，总体上并未能有效促进地区产业结构优化。上海与重庆房产税政策效应的差异不仅源于其政策力度的不同，还由于两地经济发展水平和产业结构的不同。房产税政策必须有效抑制房价上涨，并应结合本地经济发展实际因地制宜，才能更好地促进地区产业结构优化。     

非公允关联交易中董事责任问题研究——兼评世行营商环境评估之董事责任程度指标

在关联交易中,对关联董事的追责应采用忠实义务标准。然而,当前立法存在"程序公平倾向"以及"忠实义务追责标准狭窄"的问题,导致无法对已履行法定程序的关联董事进行追责。对此应将忠实义务下追责标准改为全面公平标准,对关联董事课以承担非公允关联交易中公司所受损失的义务;对非关联董事的追责应采用勤勉义务标准。因为当前立法过于原则化,缺乏适用空间,所以应在信义义务两分法下积极拓展勤勉义务即"知情"的基础上决策的内涵,衍生出对于公司造成损失的直接故意、间接故意以及重大过失三种追责情形,以弥补董事问责空隙,并将"商业判断规则"作为法院介入而非排除审查的判断标准,进一步激活董事追责的路径。     

Business model risk and uncertainty factors: Toward building and maintaining profitable and sustainable business models

Business models and business model innovation—and particularly their opportunities—have been a popular topic recently, but we find the extant literature on the subject lacking. The risk and uncertainty aspect typical of business models has not been sufficiently addressed. We draw upon the existing literature and triangulate results with an extensive expert group interview to identify 28 risk and uncertainty factor groups, creating a checklist that can be used as the first step in an integrative business model risk management process for existing and new iterations. With an established process for managing and identifying risk in business models, managers can make more conscious and well-informed decisions.     

Bank credit,public financial incentives,tax financial incentives and export performance during the global financial crisis

This paper investigates the extent to which access to credit, public financial incentives and tax financial incentives affect export performance using the EU-EFIGE/Bruegel-Unicredit data set, covering firms within Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Hungary and the UK during the 2008 global financial crisis. The results show that firms receiving credit or benefiting from public financial incentives display higher export intensity and export a greater number of product lines compared to those that did not, especially in countries with better access to credit and/or financial incentives during the crisis. Further, firms benefiting from tax financial incentives show a better export performance compared to those that did not, regardless of the degree of access to credit and/or financial incentives in the country in which they operate. In addition, the effect of access to credit and public finance incentives on export performance is found to be size-dependent, while the effect of tax financial incentives is not. We suggest that governments should promote publicly funded financial incentives along with conventional schemes, such as R&D subsidies, to promote exports, particularly during a period of financial crisis.
