居民杠杆率的发展风险、国际比较与治理路径

当前,我国居民杠杆率快速上涨,并呈现出与国际趋势背离、风险不对称、居民储蓄率下降、债务过度扩张等风险特征.从居民杠杆率的发展肇因看,可归于中长期消费贷款领域的货币政策宽松促使房地产贷款过热,以及短期消费贷款领域的金融科技驱动消费金融机构的野蛮生长.通过采用法律金融学理论,重点分析不同法系下居民杠杆率的发展演进,充分借鉴海洋法系(以美国为代表)与大陆法系(以日本为代表)的居民杠杆率高企的风险治理经验,结合我国居民部门的风险境况,提出我国防范居民杠杆率高企的风险治理路径.     

Option pricing based on hybrid GARCH-type models with improved ensemble empirical mode decomposition

The exploration of option pricing is of great significance to risk management and investments. One important challenge to existing research is how to describe the underlying asset price process and fluctuation features accurately. Considering the benefits of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) in depicting the fluctuation features of financial time series, we construct an option pricing model based on the new hybrid generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic (hybrid GARCH)-type functions with improved EEMD by decomposing the original return series into the high frequency, low frequency and trend terms. Using the locally risk-neutral valuation relationship (LRNVR), we obtain an equivalent martingale measure and option prices with different maturities based on Monte Carlo simulations. The empirical results indicate that this novel model can substantially capture volatility features and it performs much better than the M-GARCH and Black–Scholes models. In particular, the decomposition is consistently helpful in reducing option pricing errors, thereby proving the innovativeness and effectiveness of the hybrid GARCH option pricing model.     

Advance selling of new products to strategic consumers on flash sale platforms*

Flash sale (FS) is a new business model that offers discounted products in limited numbers over a short period. In this paper we discuss the impact of strategic consumers on advance selling (AS) of new products on FS platforms. We first study the impact of strategic consumers on competing retailers adopting AS to sell a homogeneous new product. And find that the retailers’ AS profits and inventory quantities decrease with the strategic customers’ valuation and valuation decreasing rate. Then we analyse whether FS can mitigate the impact of strategic customers on retailers adopting AS for new products. We consider a newsvendor model involving only one retailer adopting AS to sell a new product. We derive the results by comparing this model with two counterpart models, namely the classical newsvendor model with no strategic customers and a newsvendor model with strategic customers where the retailer does not use FS under AS.     

基于多元数据分析的城市通风廊道规划策略研究——以北京副中心为例

城市通风廊道是提升城市通透性,改善城市微循环,减缓热岛效应的有效途径之一。通过建设通风廊道让城市"呼吸"起来,可以有效减轻热岛效应,增强空气流动性,提高人体舒适度。基于通州区建设大背景及热点问题,分析了国内外典型案例,利用通州国家级气象站多年观测记录及周边地区气象资料、通州城区1:2000建筑基础地理信息数据和德国高分辨率卫星影像Rapid(5m分辨率)、通州区2015年土地利用现状图及规划图等,分析了通州及周边地区的风环境,研究了通州城区天空开阔度和地表粗糙程度,得出了通风潜力的空间分布。同时,利用卫星遥感资料,分析了热环境的空间分布。提出了通州城区通风廊道规划原则和建议。     

空间目标的联合矩阵束极点估计

极点作为谐振区雷达目标的最主要电磁特性，具有很大的空间目标识别前景。但是在使用频域观测数据提取目标极点时，存在虚假极点和估计精度问题。针对上述问题，首先通过加窗和截断改进了后时响应信号的获取流程，抑制了虚假极点影响；然后采用最小描述长度法（MDL）估计极点个数，避免了定阶错误引起的虚假极点；最后采用联合矩阵束法估计极点，有效减少了单角度数据估计极点时存在的遗漏极点和虚假极点问题。FEKO软件验证表明，所提算法具有更高的精度和抗噪能力。

On Targeting Frameworks And Optimal Monetary Policy

We show that speed limit policy, a monetary policy strategy that focuses on stabilizing inflation and the change in the output gap, consistently outperforms flexible inflation targeting and flexible price level targeting in empirical medium‐scale DSGE models under discretionary policymaking. In contrast to small‐scale New Keynesian models, this welfare ranking of the targeting frameworks is not overturned when inflation dynamics are mostly backward‐looking. Importantly, the performance of the speed limit policy shows less sensitivity to its parameterization than other frameworks that target the inflation rate or the price level.     

钢坝闸在珠海翠屏排洪渠排水防涝中的应用

翠屏排洪渠是珠海市香洲区几条主要排洪渠之一,其现有滚水坝叠梁闸因过流能力不足,无法达到暴雨期24h排出标准.为提高翠屏渠排洪能力,在滚水坝上游新建钢坝闸并拆除原有滚水坝.钢坝闸可无级调节开度,立门蓄水或防洪,卧门行洪排涝,兼具阻挡外潮与泄洪排涝双重功能.
