Regional job-turnover and industrial policy. a note on a potential time pattern of regional industrial policies and their job effects - the case of the german city-state of bremen

Many regions have experienced long-run economic fluctuations generated by the life cycles of their dominant industrial clusters. During the downswings in the 1970s and 1980s, proactive structural policies were typically launched in German regions to combat job losses in their core clusters and to create new jobs in new industries. With respect to the German State of Bremen, this paper provides empirical evidence of: (1) a long-run regional downswing; (2) the potential job effects of proactive regional industrial policy programmes in terms of increasing regional employment, by safeguarding jobs in the regional core industries and creating new jobs in new growth industries; and (3) a time pattern in the job effects, which are related to the different generations of programmes.     

Are Securitizations in Substance Sales or Secured Borrowings? Capital‐Market Evidence*

Two standard‐setting approaches have emerged globally to guide the choice of accounting for securitizations: the control and components approach (SFAS No. 125 and SFAS No. 140) and the risks and rewards transfer approach (IAS No. 39). A lack of consensus about derecognition accounting is a major impediment to achieving convergence in global standards that must be resolved. Thus, both SFAS No. 140 and IAS No. 39 will be reexamined, and evidence pertinent to the debate is timely and important. In this study, we present evidence consistent with the view of credit‐rating analysts, who view many securitizations as, in substance, secured borrowings. Specifically, for a sample of originators applying sale accounting guidance in SFAS No. 125 / 140 during the period 1997‐2003, we show that off‐balance‐sheet debt related to securitizations has, on average, the same risk‐relevance for explaining market measures of risk (that is, CAPM beta) as on‐balance‐sheet debt. We also find that, in a returns and earnings association framework, the pricing multiple on securitization gains declines as the amount of off‐balance‐sheet debt increases, implying that investors take off‐balance‐sheet debt into account when assessing the valuation‐relevance of such gains. For those who advocate the control and components approach to securitization accounting, our results suggest that, at least for frequent securitizers, the put option arising from implicit recourse is a “missing piece” that is not currently accounted for when calculating securitization gains. Our results challenge the extant measurement standards in SFAS No. 140.

The impact on stock prices of deferral and elimination of internal control audit requirement for small firms

This paper examines the cumulative market reaction to the events related to deferral of internal control audit requirement under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and its elimination under the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 for nonaccelerated filers (small firms). We document that small firms experienced negative cumulative abnormal returns around these events; and the differences between the cumulative abnormal returns for small firms and the two control groups (accelerated and large accelerated filers) were negative and significant at the 1% level. These results support the notion that market participants value the reliability of financial information irrespective of the firm size. Within the small firms, we find no firm characteristic significantly explains the market reaction to the events considered. That is, all small firms lost market value in reaction to the events that delayed and eliminated their internal control audit requirement.     

农业产业集群化发展中的流通路径及创新——以安徽省为例

农业产业集群化发展是实现农业现代化的重要途径。在农业产业集群发展过程中流通路径对其发展壮大起到关键作用。依据对安徽省目前农业产业集群的现状分析,农业产业集群的基本流通路径可以归结为农户到龙头企业、农户到合作组织和农户到批发市场三种,对这三种路径进一步研究表明现存流通路径存在诸多的缺陷和发展障碍。通过对流通渠道创新、经营方式创新、交易手段创新和流通技术创新四个流通创新方面可以解决安徽省现存农业产业集群的问题,促进农业产业集群的深化发展。

中国创业板上市公司盈利能力的因素分析——基于分位数回归的实证研究

影响上市公司盈利能力的因素有很多,不同的分位数水平下各因素对盈利能力的影响可能存在差异。传统的回归模型只能描述因变量的条件均值受自变量的影响,而分位数回归模型能够依据因变量的条件分位数对自变量进行回归,从而更加精确地描述自变量对因变量的影响。选取截至2013年6月30日的355家创业板上市公司的截面数据,从分位数回归的角度研究了不同分位数水平下各因素对公司盈利能力的影响,并且加入了地区虚拟变量,研究了区位因素与盈利能力的关系。
