中美金融摩擦： 中国企业在美“被退市”风险的实与虚

近期,有新闻报道爆出特朗普政府正在考虑将中国公司从美国股市中摘牌,中概股应声下跌,引发股市震荡。随后美财政部虽对该消息进行了否定,但在中美贸易争端前景不明的形势下,不能完全排除美政府日后强迫中国企业退市、在金融领域升级紧张局势的可能性。本文回顾总结了中国企业在美股市场的发展历程与现状,从依据美国主要交易所退市规则与依据美国金融制裁法律框架两类常规与特殊途径出发,推测特朗普政府可能采取的制裁措施与情景,分析中概股退市后出路,为我国制定后续应对政策提出建议。     

交易成本、电子市场与公司内贸易

公司内贸易是随着跨国公司的发展而产生的,目前公司内贸易已经成为国际贸易的重要组成部分.越来越多的公司内贸易反映出公司具有回避外部国际市场的动机,国际市场的作用正在淡化.随着互联网的发展,一种新型的、依赖于互联网的、虚拟的国际电子市场出现了,这种电子市场大大降低了交易的成本.本文以交易成本理论为基础,简要综述了电子市场的理论研究成果,并在此基础上分析了国际电子市场对企业关于市场与"内部化"的选择和对公司内贸易的影响.     

What Drives European Football Clubs’ Stock Returns and Volatility?

The article studies the main determinants of European football clubs’ stock returns and volatility. A panel-data analysis of a sample of 24 European football clubs was conducted to test the influence of several variables, based on a matrix of internal/external and real/financial dimensions, on both stock returns and their volatility. The results show that clubs’ stock returns are influenced by the real and financial context and by a set of internal variables such as profit considered as a reflection of accounting discipline, capitalization as an indicator of size and stadium attendance as a proxy indicator of reputation. The volatility of stock returns seems particularly vulnerable to the overall instability on stock markets and dependent on clubs’ profit and net players’ transfers and, to a lesser extent, on sporting outcomes.

Profit Shifting in Two‐Sided Markets

We investigate how multinational two‐sided platform firms set their prices on intra‐firm transactions. Two‐sided platform firms derive income from two customer groups that are connected through at least one positive network externality from one group to the other. A main finding is that, even in the absence of taxation, transfer prices deviate from marginal cost of production. A second result of the paper is that it is inherently difficult to establish arm’s length prices in two‐sided markets. Finally, we find that differences in national tax rates may be welfare enhancing, despite the use of (abusive) transfer prices as a profit‐shifting device.     

未雨绸缪还是杞人忧天——评“汇率浮动恐惧症”

面对金融国际化,新兴市场国应更重视汇率问题.引导新兴市场国的汇率政策选择的理论,如著名的"中间空洞理论"现在遇到越来越多的挑战,因为不少实证研究表明新兴市场国表现出"汇率浮动恐惧症".结合汇率不完全传递率的实证分析以及对贬值紧缩效应等的分析,新兴市场的"汇率浮动恐惧症"是合情但并非合理的表现,新兴市场国家事实上可以享用汇率浮动的好处,无需将自己陷入对浮动的恐惧当中,这样新兴市场国的汇率政策及汇率选择有了更大自由空间.     

我国资本市场与证券投资基金互动关系研究

The contributions of economics to hospitality literature: A content analysis of hospitality and tourism journals

This paper aimed to develop a concrete understanding of economics topics and methodologies that have been applied to hospitality research and to suggest areas for further research. Content analysis of 292 full-length articles was performed. The results showed that the contributions of economics to hospitality literature were largely empirical and microeconomics-related. Most of the research topics focused on market analysis, which involves demand and supply modelling and price determinants, followed by performance analysis, involving efficiency and productivity studies. Limited contributions of macroeconomic topics to hospitality were determined, highlighting the lack of studies on the impact of government or public policies on the hospitality industry. Moreover, the application of game theory to market structures was found to be limited, creating a vacuum in terms of understanding the competitive and cooperative behaviours of hospitality firms. As a contribution to the literature, the study provides suggestions for future research.     

Liability of Foreignness in Fast-Expanding Markets: Evidence from Ghana

In this study, we sought to establish if the idea of liability of foreignness (LOF) also persists in the fast-expanding markets (FEMs) and whether there are certain firm characteristics that can mitigate or accentuate this effect. We utilize data from the World Bank enterprise surveys conducted in Ghana in 2007 and 2013. We operationalize liability as the probability that a firm suffered from a crime in the year under study. We also specify empirical probit and instrumental probit models with controls to answer the above research question. We find that there is LOF in fast-expanding markets, and this effect is robust to different specifications. Given that our liability is crime, we moderate the LOF effect with data on security expenditure. The results still show that even if firms increased their security expenditure, the LOF effect still persisted. The study makes a contribution to the international business literature by testing the LOF effect in a new unit of analysis and is also one of the earliest to operationalize a firm's liability in the form of crime it suffers in its operating environment. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
