对我国电信产业规制与制度供给的几点思考

由于电信产业具有自然垄断性，政府应对电信产业实行规制，以促进资源的合理配置，提高消费者的福利水平。我国电信产业规制的历程告诉我们，政府作为实施电信产业规制的主体，应该以追求全社会福利的最大化为目标来提供有效的制度供给，只有这样才能更好地促进电信产业经济效益和服务质量的不断提高。     

Does the strength of the legal systems matter for trade in insurance and financial services?

This paper investigates if the strength of the legal system impacts on the trade in insurance and financial services in the high-income OECD and developing countries. Our findings reveal a statistically significant positive correlation of rule of law and regulatory quality with the exports and imports of insurance and financial services. Our empirical findings also reveal a negative and statistically significant correlation of contract enforcement with the exports and imports of insurance and financial services. We conclude that strengthening the rule of law and contract enforcement mechanisms can facilitate higher levels of trade in insurance and financial services.     

Oil risk contracts,business conduct and performance patterns: Data panel analysis

Using the economic and financial performance data of international companies for the exploration, and exploration–extraction (E&E) of oil, as well as the patterns of institutional situation and orientation with the government market and national oil companies or NOCs that receive project offers, we analyze the institutional development and behavior patterns by type of E&E contract, following the strategic actor approach, or the so-called agency theory. Additionally, in light of Mexico's energy reform being implemented between 2015 and 2019, we analyzed the types of license contracts compared to those for production and shared profit. Subsequently, it was determined-through panel data methods in the analysis of 17 companies between 2005 and 2015-that global companies present bigger yields and commitments compared to specialized companies, confirmed by their net income and returns on equity or ROE.     

Basel regulations and banks’ efficiency: The case of the Philippines

Using stochastic frontier analysis, this paper has examined the impact of Basel II on the cost efficiency of Philippine commercial banks from 2001 to 2011. The overall mean cost efficiency estimate is 0.75, indicating substantial inefficiencies in the banks averaging to 25% of total costs. Findings show that higher capital requirement tends to improve the cost efficiency but more powerful supervisors can adversely affect the efficiency of the banks. The other potential correlates that may help explain the efficiency of the banks are risk and asset quality and bank-specific variables. From a policy perspective, this study is informative to policymakers on the general direction in which to proceed with reforms (i.e., maintain higher capital requirements, curtail powerful supervisors, and enhance private monitoring) and in identifying factors that could contribute to banks’ efficiency especially in light of the newly implemented Basel III in the country. In effect, this paper also assesses the readiness of the banks toward the implementation of Basel III.

谨慎应用公允价值计量属性的再思考

作为证券市场一项重要游戏规则，新会计准则的颁布实施对A股市场产生了深远影响。2007年和2008年许多上市公司股价发生了大幅波动，利润也发生了较大波动。公允价值计量的应用是导致某些上市公司利润大幅波动的重要原因之一。公允价值计量模式下，经济环境和风险状况的变化以及企业自身信用的变化，都会引起企业经营业绩忽高忽低，给投资者造成企业经营不稳的印象，进而误导财务报表使用者作出错误投资决策。上市公司应建立健全并充分披露同公允价值计量相关的决策体系，公允价值变动收益的确认应贯彻谨慎性要求。应将公允价值变动收益作为递延收益处理，其价值未实现前不得计入利润表、不得分配。     

民间融资的法律分析

在我国民间融资已有近千年历史,进入建立社会主义市场经济后,民间融资的作用和功能更是得到了创新性的发挥。随着市场经济的发展,民间融资作为一种有效的资金资源配置手段,在优化资源配置、优化社会融资结构、弥补市场资金需求和促进民营经济发展中发挥着显著功效。但由于我国现有法律法规对民间融资的保护、规范和引导等问题上都存在诸多缺陷,严重制约着民间融资的发展,对市场经济的发展也产生了不利的影响。本文从法理的角度论证其合法性,分析我国民间融资的法律制度的弊端。并在此基础上提出了规范和完善民间融资法律制度的建议。     

Managing China's pastoral lands: Current problems and future prospects

China has the second largest area of pastoral land in the world, and these lands and their peoples play a very beneficial role in the global environment. Because of China's huge population, rate of social reform, and economic development, the pastoral ecosystems are at a critical turning point. There is a conflict between national benefit and the land users (mainly herders) benefit. This paper introduces the scale of pastoral land, the history of its management institutions, past and current projects and programs, as well as the current framework of policy and law as relevant to land management. The challenges for pastoral management in terms of institutions, administration, technology and their shifting role in regional economies of scale are also analyzed. Opportunities for sustainable development in China's pastoral lands are presented. Finally, this paper highlights the available approaches for enhancing livelihoods and conserving pastoral land, including establishment of law and policy framework at the national level, redefining use rights for community management, promoting Integrated Ecosystem Management (IEM) as a basis for natural resource utilization, preserving and respecting cultural aspects of pastoral peoples, and shifting the focus from GDP generation to environmental protection.

Instability in the dividend policy of the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) corporations: evidence from an emerging market

Dividend policy behaviour of corporations operating in emerging markets is significantly different from the widely accepted dividend policy behaviour of corporations operating in developed markets. This study provides evidence from the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE), an emerging European stock market, and analyses empirically whether the ISE corporations follow stable cash dividend policies in a regulatory environment that imposed mandatory dividend policies. Unlike the empirical results supporting the stable dividend policy behaviour of corporations operating in developed markets, the empirical results show that the ISE corporations follow unstable cash dividend policies and the main factor that determines the amount of cash dividends is the earnings of the corporation in that year.
