应计利润、现金流量对盈余持续性的影响

本文选取2007—2009年的A股制造业为研究样本,研究了历史盈余、应计利润和经营性现金流对盈余持续性的影响。检验结果发现:(1)由于会计制度的原因,我国上市企业的应计利润存在着系统性计量偏差;(2)我国上市企业的盈余持续性较低,且应计利润的持续性偏低;(3)修正后的应计利润其持续性偏低。     

管理者过度自信与企业金融行为研究述评

行为金融学在放宽理性经济人假设的基础上,分别从投资者非理性和管理者非理性视角研究金融投资和企业决策。基于管理者非理性视角,从企业投资决策、融资决策以及股利分配决策等方面总结了管理者过度自信影响公司金融行为的研究成果,并就这一领域未来的研究方向提出了建议。     

所有权结构、股价波动异步性与上市公司现金持有价值

股价中包含了较多的企业特质信息或者信息噪声都可能导致企业股价异步性现象。股权集中程度越高,其股价吸收企业特质信息的效率越低。借鉴Faulkender和Wang(2006)以及Dittar和Mahrt-Smith(2007)提出的衡量现金持有价值的方法,本文系统检验了2003～2006年我国A股上市企业的股价异步性与资金效率的关系。实证检验发现,其他情形相同的情况下,股价异步性与现金持有价值呈显著正相关关系,然而这种显著的正相关关系主要体现在股权分散的企业和非国有企业中。可见,所有权结构安排和股权性质是影响股价信息含量以及股价在资本配置过程中的发挥基础性作用的决定因素。     

交叉上市对现金持有与现金持有价值的影响——来自我国上市公司的经验证据

以2005～2009年我国上市公司为研究样本,借鉴Fama-French(1998)和Fresard-Salva(2010)的企业价值回归模型,考察了交叉上市对于企业现金持有及现金持有价值的影响。结果表明,在公司实现A+H股交叉上市后,由于投资者保护水平的提升以及融资成本的下降,企业的现金持有水平显著降低;而在A+B股交叉上市公司中,现金持有水平并没有显著降低。同时,由于交叉上市公司比非交叉上市公司的发展机会更好、融资成本更低,投资者更希望企业减持现金,适度加大投资,以进一步提升企业价值。     

权责发生制在高校会计核算中的应用研究

近年来,我国高等教育发展迅速,高等教育规模不断扩大,现行高校的会计核算基础收付实现制,已经不能满足高校的财务管理的需要。我国高校现行采用的收付实现制存在弊端,以权责发生制加以取代十分必要。     

基金持有人聪明吗——国外相关研究最新进展述评

基金经理的投资管理能力决定了基金的业绩。基金持有人是否聪明,即是否能够在众多的基金中选择风险控制能力强、盈利水平高的基金,决定了其投资基金的收益水平.近十余年来,随着行为金融学的兴起,对持有人基金选择能力的研究逐渐增多,出现了各种不同的研究方法,得到的结论也不尽相同,本文在梳理国外相关研究文献的基础上,阐述了国外最新的关于持有人基金选择能力研究的方法、主要结论以及最新进展,并探讨了不同研究所得结论存在差异的原因。     

Analysing the effect of excess cash accumulation on financial decisions

In this current moment of crisis it is very important for firms to hold a suitable amount of cash. But it is also very important to analyse how this amount of cash affects firm value. Here an in-depth study is made of the determination of firm value centring our attention on the problem of excess cash accumulation. This article adds important value to the existing literature since, employing the panel data methodology in the sample of Spanish nonfinancial firms, it identifies whether excess cash holding affects firm value in general, and investment, financing and dividend decisions in particular. The results show how asymmetric information among the economic agents of the firm affects the cash reserves. In particular, shareholders could penalize the investment made by these firms and consider the positive effect that the debt in particular and the dividend policies exert on the firm. Moreover, the results reveal the importance of financial flexibility as opposed to the arguments provided by agency theory.     

Litigation risk,accounting quality,and investment efficiency

This paper examines the moderating effect of litigation risk on the relationship between accounting quality and investment efficiency. We use directors’ and officers’ (D&O) liability insurance as a proxy for litigation risk, accruals quality for accounting quality, and investment cash flow sensitivity for investment efficiency (Biddle & Hilary, 2006; Hovakimian & Hovakimian, 2009). Using Canadian data from 1998 to 2008, we show that firms with higher D&O insurance coverage exhibit lower quality accruals. Moreover, the previously documented negative association between accruals quality and investment cash flow sensitivity is stronger (weaker) when abnormal D&O coverage is low (high), suggesting that the role of accounting quality in facilitating investment efficiency is conditional upon observable litigation risk.     

Regulated absolute ruin problem with interest structure and linear dividend barrier

The uncontrolled surplus of an insurance company is a classical risk model. Now the risk model includes three features, namely debit interest, short-term and long-term invested interest, and linear dividend barrier. In this paper, the PDMP method and martingales are used for solvency studies in the risk model under regulation of minimum cash requirement. The integro-differential equations are derived for the expected discounted dividends under absolute ruin. In the case of exponential claim amounts, explicit expressions are obtained, as well as the numerical illustrations and their economic interpretation.
