Loss given default of high loan-to-value residential mortgages

This paper studies loss given default using a large set of historical loan-level default and recovery data of high loan-to-value residential mortgages from several private mortgage insurance companies. We show that loss given default can largely be explained by various characteristics associated with the loan, the underlying property, and the default, foreclosure, and settlement process. We find that the current loan-to-value ratio is the single most important determinant. More importantly, mortgage loss severity in distressed housing markets is significantly higher than under normal housing market conditions. These findings have important policy implications for several key issues in Basel II implementation.

终极控制、自由现金流约束与公司绩效——基于我国民营上市公司的经验证据

本文从终极控制人的视角,以我国2002-2006年民营上市公司为研究对象,研究了终极控制股东现金流权及控制权与现金流权的偏离对公司绩效的影响,并在此基础上考察了自由现金流对终极控制股东攫取行为的约束作用。研究表明:现金流权与公司绩效显著正相关,对终极控制股东存在"激励效应";控制权与现金流权的偏离与公司绩效显著负相关,终极控制股东对公司具有"堑壕效应",且当现金流权较高时,终极控制股东的"堑壕效应"显著降低。进一步研究发现,终极控制股东攫取行为的发生不仅需要其有"能力"和"动机",还需要有充足的自由现金流这个"机会",较少的自由现金流能够有效地约束终极控制股东的攫取行为。

古典自由主义中的市场与政府

对于自由主义，不应简单地将其视为“自由放任”和“无政府主义”，实际上，古典自由主义关于市场与政府有着极为丰富而深刻的理论和思想。厘清其基本理论和主要思想，并从中了解到相关经济学派(包括奥地利学派、产权学派、新制度经济学派、公共选择学派以及最新的新兴古典经济学派等)及其代表人物在理解经济自由方面的内在一致性和互补性，有助于我们避免陷入印象式的理解和“印象式的辩论”。
