后危机时代国际银行业发展趋势研究——兼评2009年1000家大银行排行榜

本文结合2009年1000家大银行排行榜的新特征,分析全球银行业格局的变化。结论认为,金融危机对未来全球银行业的经营环境产生了巨大的影响,美欧银行业将很难再现过去10年的辉煌,部分坚持传统稳健经营模式的发达国家银行可望取得良好发展,新兴市场银行仍将是发展亮点和全球银行业角逐之地。     

论日本商业银行进入债券承销市场的效应

日本商业银行进入债券承销市场乃至日本金融业混业经营改革采取的都是一种渐进的方式,而包括金融业混业经营在内的日本金融改革对我国来讲具有较好的借鉴意义。从债券承销佣金、承销商选择和债券收益率价差等3个方面来看,日本商业银行进入债券承销市场是成功的,促进了债券承销市场的竞争,降低了企业发行债券的成本,提高了整体金融效率。就我国的具体情况来看,应在借鉴日本混业经营经验的基础上加快金融业混业经营的步伐。     

中国银行业对外开放度测评及理性开放策略研究

截至2007年末,外资银行不仅在中国设立代表处、分行,还注册成立了外资独资和合资法人银行业机构,同时还有33家境外机构投资者参股了25家中资商业银行。面对扑面而来的外资银行,中国的一些金融理论和实务工作者提出了"贱卖论"、"威胁论"和"单边开放"的质疑。在这种情况下,对中国银行业对外开放水平的判断和评价凸显其重要性。本文对2003～2007年这一时期的中国银行业对外开放度进行测算,结论是中国银行业对外开放属于中等水平;本文还从实际对外开放趋势的角度进行分析,结论是中国银行业的实际对外开放度远比定量测度的要高。在当前国际金融市场动荡及一些国家银行业表现出脆弱性的状况下,中国银行业应汲取其他国家银行业开放的经验和教训,走适度理性的开放道路,才能更加有利于中国银行业进一步增强自身的稳定性。     

从全球金融危机看我国银行业金融创新的进一步发展问题

金融创新是国际银行业发展的持续动力,随着我国银行业改革开放的深化,我国商业银行对金融创新的重视和参与程度也越来越高。但是此次全球金融危机却反映出国际银行业在创新过程中的一些严重问题,为我国银行业金融创新提供了一些启示。本文对国际银行业近年来的金融创新进行了反思,总结了我国银行业金融创新的现状,并对我国银行业金融创新的进一步发展提出了建议。     

The evolution of a national banking market in pre-war Japan

This paper assesses banking market integration in Japan during the period 1889-1938 using annual data on loan rates and spreads between loan and deposit rates. Banks in prefectures further from the financial centers exhibited higher loan rates and greater spreads than banks closer to the center, however, distance effects diminished over time, suggesting that banking markets became increasingly integrated due to declines in transaction costs. Additionally, loan rates and spreads varied negatively with the intensity of local bank competition, consistent with the notion of market segmentation. We speculate that Japan’s anti-competitive banking regulation might have slowed the process of banking market integration.     

On the importance of retail banking relationships

We use proprietary data to analyze the importance of retail banking relationships to commercial banks and their depositors when banks underwrite securities. We find lead underwriters’ retail customers benefit as they demand and end up with significantly more of the highly underpriced issues. We find it is actual underpricing beyond that predicted by grey markets that drive the differential demand from the lead bank retail clientele, suggesting that banks pass on information about underpriced initial public offerings to their retail depositors. We analyze banks’ incentives for such behavior and find evidence of banks benefiting through retail cross-selling—both brokerage accounts and consumer loans increase significantly.     

泡沫经济破灭前后日本银企信用风险管理制度及其功效分析

战后，日本金融体系效仿欧美国家建立起一系列信用风险管理制度。同时，根据市场主导型金融市场的特点，逐步建立起具有自身特点的信用风险管理制度。日本银企信用风险管理制度包括商业银行的内部控制制度、银行风险防御及挽救制度、商业银行外部监管制度。通过对日本银企信用风险管理制度的功效进行剖析，可以看出这一制度存在局限性并与日本的泡沫经济、金融危机、金融效率存在内在关系。     

我国网上银行发展之法律问题

全球银行业正经历着一个激动人心的时代,网上银行顺理成章地成为这一时代的见证和表征。WTO体制下金融业的全面开放将使网上银行业务成为中外金融业竞争的焦点。现行监管模式和法律规制对于网上银行显得力不从心,已不能适应其蓬勃发展的客观需要。就有关网上银行及其业务的的监管模式、归责原则、民事责任等相关法律问题加以探讨,并提出一些浅见。     

MEASURING THE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY OF COMMERCIAL BANKS IN NAMIBIA

This paper examines the efficiency of commercial banks in Namibia using the standard econometric frontier approach. Although two aspects of efficiency (scale and scope) receive our attention, the emphasis is on the latter which pertains to whether a firm produces as efficiently as it possibly can, given its size. Our results indicate that substantial economies of scale exist in commercial banking in Namibia. This will tend to suggest that commercial banks in Namibia can increase their efficiency by increasing their current scale of operation. The results for scope economies show that the current level of input combination does not make for maximum efficiency as sufficient scope exists for a more efficient combination of inputs. We believe this will reduce operating costs in the industry and stimulate efficiency.     

Financial liberalization and banking crises in emerging economies

Financial liberalization often leads to financial crises. This link has usually been attributed to poorly designed banking systems, an explanation that is largely static. In this paper we develop a dynamic explanation, by modelling the evolution of a newly-liberalized bank's opportunities and incentives to take on risk over time. The model reveals that even if a banking system is well-designed, in the sense of having good long-run properties, many countries will enjoy an initial period of rapid, low-risk growth and then enter a period with an elevated risk of banking crisis. This transition emerges because of the way in which the degree of foreign competition, the marginal product of capital, and the bank's own net worth simultaneously evolve.
