Factors affecting agricultural land transfer-in in China: a semiparametric analysis

We use interview survey data collected randomly from 2677 farm households in nine provinces of China to understand the role of demographic, economic, land, and village characteristics on agricultural land transfer-in by farmers. Results show that variables such as borrowing from informal sources, household labour availability, percentage of total income from agricultural sources, and the household with village cadre have significant positive effects on land transfer-in. Low economic development and low transportation network availability in a county reduces land transfer-in. We also find that two variables (land holding and land idling) should be entered into the model nonparametrically. Land holding and land idling have U- and L-shaped impacts on land transfer-in, respectively. Land transfer-in has endowment equilibrium and provides Chinese households more opportunities to earn agricultural income, thereby reducing rural poverty.     

Vertical Integration,Firms’ Entry,Exit, Strategic Shifts,Age, and The Productivity Growth in Korea's Core Growth‐Leading Industries

This study attempts to measure the impact of firms’ entry, exit, strategic shifts, and age on the productivity growth of Korea's three core growth‐leading industries and their vertical integration with capital share (VI) firms and non‐VI (NVI) firms in view of the 2008 global financial crisis and the institutional push by the Korean Government. A stochastic frontier production model was applied to firm‐level panel data from 2006 to 2011 for Korea's automobile, electronics and general machinery industries. The results show that exogenous shocks to the market triggered large‐scale resource reallocations from firms with declining productivity to firms with less declining or rising productivity, and market share reallocation between VI firms and NVI firms. The Korean Government's institutional push led the productivity growth of NVI firms to reach their highest levels in 2010. In a VI structure, a structure comprising VI firms only, the agency problem dominated the synergies of secure supply chains and saving on transaction costs, while NVI firms endeavoured to raise their productivity to step into a VI structure to secure stable supply chains, only to find their R&D initiatives stagnated once they took on the VI structure. Therefore, efficient resource reallocation is hindered by the agency problem within the bounds of vertically integrated industrial structures.     

Does context matter for sustainability disclosure? Institutional factors in Southeast Asia

Corporate sustainability is a dynamic, socially constructed concept. Relatedly, to understand the variations in the disclosure of corporate sustainability activities across countries, we need to inherently explore their underlying sociopolitical contexts. At present our understanding in this regard, is deficient. We respond to this extant research gap by adopting a multi‐country approach to investigate the relationship between countries' institutional environments and firms' sustainability disclosure (SD) practices, across six countries in the Southeast Asian region. Our findings reflect a common focus of Southeast Asian firms on community and human resources (HRs) related disclosures. Nevertheless, nuanced differences in their overall SD levels confirm the influence of differing legal, normative, and sociocultural systems in engendering greater disclosure and transparency at a national level. By quantifying the institutional environment and identifying external influencing factors, our study provides a useful framework grounded in neo‐institutional theory to widen the existing understanding of how institutional pressures can be measured and compared across different contexts.     

Short-sale constraints and informational efficiency to private information: A natural experiment

Exploiting a regulatory change in short-sale constraints (Regulation SHO) as a natural experiment, this paper examines the effect of short-sale constraints on informational efficiency of stock prices to private information. I find that short-sellers act as informed traders prior to forthcoming analyst news and trade on negative private information. When short-sale constraints are relaxed for pilot stocks (treatment group), both trading volume and stock price sensitivity increase prior to the analyst announcement for bad news but not for good news, relative to that of nonpilot stocks (control group). The findings are consistent with the Diamond and Verrecchia model that predicts that short-selling increases the speed of adjustment of stock prices to private negative information. In the cross-section, the effect of Reg SHO is stronger in stocks of firms with weak and uncertain information environments (i.e., small firms and firms with high analyst forecast dispersion).

2018年以来,人民币国际化进入新的发展周期.自贸区作为实行税收优惠和特殊监管政策的多功能经济性特区,在跨境贸易结算便利、资本自由流动、离岸金融业务创新方面具备先行先试的优势.前海作为大湾区金融对外开放的总枢纽、国际经贸规则压力测试的承担者、跨境金融治理合作的试验田,需要抢抓RCEP重大发展机遇,积极探索开展离岸人民币金融业务,推动离岸和在岸市场的规则与国际接轨;服务RCEP和"一带一路"建设,联动香港建设全球离岸人民币业务枢纽;支持前海参与跨境支付清算新机制建设,提高人民币在贸易投资中的使用;顺应RCEP对金融领域开放的要求,率先探索贸易投资项下的便利化措施;利用前海建设法治先行示范区优势,建立与国际接轨的金融对外开放制度环境,为推进人民币国际化发挥更加关键的作用.     

金融业综合统计的国际经验与启示--以日本为例

近年来，我国金融业综合统计工作发展较快，但较发达国家仍存在一定差距。日本是开展金融业综合统计较早的国家，数据涵盖范围非常广泛，并形成了一套系统、有效的数据质量提升框架。研究和参考日本相关经验对推进我国的金融业综合统计工作有重要的现实意义。     

我国城镇居民收入差距分析——基于企业收入分配制度的视角

根据凯恩斯绝对收入假说和消费理论的成果,居民当前消费主要依赖于当前收入。收入分配差距过大是我国当前消费需求不足的首要因素。本文论述我国当前居民收入差距对消费的影响,从企业收入分配制度的角度分析城镇居民收入差距扩大的原因,提出完善企业收入分配制度,缩小城镇居民收入差距,提高城镇居民消费水平思路。
