实施转融通制度提高了我国证券市场质量吗？——运用双重差分模型对沪深股市的实证分析

以50种纳入转融通标的证券的股票构造处理组,以50种纳入融资融券标的证券但未纳入转融通标的证券的股票构造控制组,利用转融通制度实施前后各10个交易月份的数据,采用双重差分模型研究转融通制度的实施对证券市场流动性、波动性、有效性等市场质量的净影响,得到的可靠结论是：转融通制度在一定程度上提高了证券市场的流动性,显著抑制了证券市场的波动性,显著提高了证券市场的有效性,总体上改善了证券市场质量。监管者应进一步拓宽转融通标的证券的范围,增加转融通标的证券的数量,并对证券进入转融通标的证券之前和之后进行区别对待;交易者在确定交易策略时也应做出正确选择。     

异质机构投资者共同持股对所持股公司绩效影响的实证研究

以2010年沪、深股市中同时有证券投资基金和除基金外其他机构投资者持股的682家公司为样本,构建线性回归模型研究了异质机构共同持股条件下,异质机构对公司绩效的影响。最终得出结论：在异质机构共同持股条件下,不论持股比例是否具有优势,证券投资基金对公司绩效均具有显著影响,而其他机构投资者对公司绩效均不具有影响。

走出人民币升值的误区

对于人民币升值我们存在诸多误区,近期我国企业对人民币升值的无奈和冷漠的态度,正是这些误区的直接体现。从全球汇率整体发展趋势分析,人民币对外币的波动将向常态化发展,人民币不仅有升值的问题,也有贬值的可能。对此,我国企业必须要有一个清醒认识,并走出认识上的误区,否则不仅影响企业当前的经济利益,更涉及企业未来的生存与发展。     

The predictability of real estate returns and market timing

Recent evidence suggests that all asset returns are predictable to some extent with excess returns on real estate relatively easier to forecast. This raises the issue of whether we can successfully exploit this level of predictability using various market timing strategies to realize superior performance over a buy-and-hold strategy. We find that the level of predicability associated with real estate leads to moderate success in market timing, although this is not necessarily the case for the other asset classes examined in general. Besides this, real estate stocks typically have higher trading profits and higher mean risk-adjusted excess returns when compared to small stocks as well as large stocks and bonds even though most real estate stocks are small stocks.     

Failure to learn from failure: The 2008 mortgage crisis as a déjà vu of the mortgage meltdown of 1994

This article traces the developments in the market for residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS) during the period 1970–2008. Drawing on an analysis of trade publications, business press, and interviews with practitioners, it shows that an MBS market meltdown in 1994 provided clear signals of problems with MBS. The market participants did not re-evaluate their use of risk management tools or adjust security design in response to the 1994 crisis, suggesting a lack of understanding of the implications of the crisis. The 1994 meltdown showed that MBS were vulnerable to systematic risks and that these risks could precipitate an MBS market crash. Furthermore, the 1994 meltdown demonstrated that large-scale investment in MBS could affect the primary mortgage market, thereby rendering the MBS risks unpredictable. After 1994, MBS investment shifted to MBS backed by mortgages with default risk – a development that led to the crash of 2008. By drawing parallels between the 1994 and 2008 crises, this article shows how the MBS market failed to self-correct. The results suggest that financial market participants do not always incorporate relevant information in their decision-making and that market participants have difficulties in both foreseeing the effect of financial innovations on markets and interpreting these effects.     

VIX futures term structure and the expectations hypothesis

Tests of the expectations hypothesis reveal that the slope of the VIX futures term structure predicts the direction but not the magnitude of the evolution of the short-end of the curve, but predicts neither the direction nor the magnitude of short-term changes in the long-end of the curve. Relative value seeking spread trades, constructed to exploit such violations, deliver excess returns with annualized Sharpe ratios equal or greater than those of volatility-writing strategies deployed by VIX ETN's for a majority of the 32 spread trade combinations tested. I demonstrate that profits from beta-neutral variations of the spread trades, which are not compensation for taking on equity downside risk by design, are propagated by inflows of capital into VIX futures markets, after controlling for factors that measure changes in the availability of hedge fund capital, risk appetite, and momentum. At the heart of profits, and by extension the term structure anomalies, is a disproportionally elevated basis propagated by long VIX demand that enters the futures market through ETN channels.     

Interaction between securitization gains and abnormal loan loss provisions: Credit risk retention and fair value accounting

This study investigates whether managers use asset securitization gains to substitute loan loss provision (LLP) management for earnings management, and, if so, whether the percentage of credit risk retained affects such a relationship. The literature provides evidence that managers have used securitization transactions to boost earnings. Using 2001?2014 data for a sample of bank holding companies, I find that managers use securitization gains and LLPs as partial substitutes and that earnings management from securitization gains grows at an increasing rate to substitute income increasing LLP management as the level of risk retention increases. These findings are consistent with the argument that the higher the level of risk retention, the greater the potential impact on achieving earnings targets, given banks’ exercise of discretion over securitization gains through estimation of fair value of retained interest. In addition, I document that the substitution effect between the two tools is non‐existent in the post‐SFAS 166/167 period. Taken together, the findings have timely implications for accounting standards by informing the effect of risk retention that I measure through earnings management techniques. Moreover, my findings provide additional support for improved disclosures on assets‐backed securities.     

关于提高印花税税率的冷思考

印花税税率调高会带来交易费用的上升,可以抑制短期投机,从而在一定程度上稳定市场。但在我国证券税制不完善的情况下,股票交易的印花税存在缺乏法律依据、税种错位、职能错位、征收范围错位等问题,其身兼数职,扮演了多税种合一的角色,仅靠调整印花税难以真正达到压缩股市泡沫、促进资本市场健康发展的效果,还会带来印花税其他职能的丧失。因此,开征差异性证券交易税,对印花税进一步改革已迫在眉睫。
