金融市场效率与FDI外溢效应

本文在经济增长与FDI外溢效应的模型中加入反映金融市场效率的变量研究金融市场效率对FDI外溢效应的影响。实证的结果表明:金融市场的效率的提高促进了FDI外溢对经济增长,且FDI外溢的间接效应大于FDI外溢的直接效应。     

金融发展、FDI溢出与长三角区域经济增长

很多研究表明,金融市场是联接FDI技术外溢和经济增长的重要纽带,金融发展水平的高低将直接影响到FDI技术外溢的效果,进而影响经济增长。本文以长三角两省一市地区为研究主体,1990～2008年为研究期间,实证研究了该地区金融发展、FDI溢出与经济增长的关系,进而提出提高长三角地区FDI外溢效应和经济增长的相应政策建议。     

我国金融发展促进FDI的出口增长效应实证研究

运用我国1991至2010年商品出口额、金融发展和FDI相关的时间序列数据,考察我国金融发展对FDI的出口增长效应的促进作用。实证结果表明：我国金融市场规模的扩大未能促进FDI的出口增长效应,而金融市场效率的提高能促进企业对FDI技术溢出的吸收能力,进而促进出口的增长。建议我国加快提高金融市场的效率,努力发挥政策性金融支持出口的作用。     

天津市滨海新区FDI外溢效应的经验研究

FDI作为集资本、技术、管理和国际营销网络为一体的一篮子资产,通过外溢效应可以有力推动东道国经济发展,对于东道国产业结构调整、生产效率提高、企业市场竞争力提升等起着积极的推动作用。天津滨海新区作为吸引FDI较为成功的地区,FDI分布行业较为广泛,为研究FDI外溢效应提供了较好的实验样本。本文选取天津市滨海新区工业行业FDI数据,使用面板数据模型,实证检验了FDI对滨海新区工业企业的产出水平、生产效率和创新能力的影响。     

金融发展与FDI的挤出效应机制研究

从外国直接投资对于东道国国内资本挤出效应的作用机制上看,若东道国没有融资约束,即金融发展水平较高,FDI会凭借其在技术、管理上的优势和政策上的优惠对东道国国内投资产生挤出效应;若东道国企业存在融资约束,即金融发展水平较低,FDI会对东道国国内投资产生较大的挤出效应.利用我国1978-2006年的省份数据和面板分析方法,通过分析FDI对于东部、中部和西部地区的资本挤出效应,结果表明:东道国的较高金融发展水平是降低FDI对东道国国内资本挤出效应,从而产生挤入效应的一个重要条件.     

FDI与经济增长:基于金融市场吸收能力的研究

FDI对东道国经济发展的促进作用与其吸收能力相关,而金融市场是反映吸收能力的一个重要因素。本文利用我国29个省份数据,实证检验了基于金融市场吸收能力,FDI是否有利于我国经济增长。结果表明FDI对我国经济增长产生了负面的直接效应,但借助金融市场功能却对经济增长产生了间接的促进效应,且净效应为正;在加入国内投资变量后的检验结果也表明只有借助金融市场功能才能发挥资本对经济增长的促进作用。     

FDI、金融市场与经济增长

本文根据不同的金融市场类型,利用全国28个省市自治区1978-2007年的数据,检验了信贷市场、资本市场在FDI促进经济增长过程中所发挥的作用.为保证结果的稳健性,本文还分别对我国东、中、西部地区进行了独立研究.研究的实证结果总体上支持信贷市场在提高FDI溢出效应以促进经济增长方面的作用较资本市场更为有效的观点.     

金融市场、FDI技术溢出与经济增长

本文对国外有关金融市场影响FDI溢出效应进而影响经济增长的理论文献进行了综述,提出要使金融市场对FDI的技术溢出产生正效应进而促进经济增长,中国就必须继续加大金融改革的步伐,在促进金融市场对外开放的同时,大力促进金融市场的对内开放、切实改善中小企业的金融环境、成立科技开发银行、大力完善中国的资本市场。

FDI对国有工业企业技术溢出效应的实证分析——以广西区为例

文章回顾了国内外关于FDI技术溢出效应的研究成果,进一步分析了技术溢出效应的作用机制。在建立联立方程计量经济模型的基础上,考察外商直接投资(FDI)对广西区国有工业企业的技术溢出效应。结果表明,FDI对广西区国有工业企业存在技术外溢效应,并且通过竞争与示范效应产生的技术外溢较为显著,随着FDI参与经济活动的程度增大和市场竞争的加剧,这种外溢效应也不断增强。基于分析结果,本文最后从不同角度提出了如何获得更大技术外溢效应的对策建议。     

Debt and Taxes and Uncertainty

With a graduated personal tax schedule, Miller showed that there could be an equilibrium debt supply for the corporate sector as a whole. In the presence of uncertainty there is also a unique debt/equity ratio for each individual firm, and this ratio is related to the firm's operational risk characteristics. However, if firms merge and spin off in response to tax incentives, the identity of firms is ambiguous and only the corporate sector is a meaningful construct. These arguments are developed in both discrete and continuous models that employ extensions of the arbitrage-free pricing theory.     

教育与资本怎样的前景怎样的现实

来自政府的声音: "动员各种社会资源,发展教育" 此次论坛上财政部长助理张少春的发言是最受关注的发言之一.他的演讲传达出的信息有这样几方面:第一,谈到现实,他认为全社会对教育的巨大需求与我国公共投入不足已成为我国教育事业发展的突出矛盾.近年来,以公共部门投入为主,多渠道筹措教育经费的教育投入机制成为解决这一问题的重要途径,也使得公共部门与私营部门在教育领域的合作日益密切.第二,谈到前景,他认为,1.中国经济持续、快速的增长对高技能人才产生巨大的需求,这为私营部门的参与提供了广阔空间.2.随着公共财政职能的不断完善,财政资金将在各项教育事业中重新进行分配,进一步优化财政支出结构,提高资金的使用效率.在"十一五"期间,我国将把公共支出的重点转移到农村.我们将逐步把全体农村适龄儿童的义务教育全部纳入公共财政体制.     

Director gender and mergers and acquisitions

Does director gender influence CEO empire building? Does it affect the bid premium paid for target firms? Less overconfident female directors less overestimate merger gains. As a result, firms with female directors are less likely to make acquisitions and if they do, pay lower bid premia. Using acquisition bids by S&P 1500 companies during 1997–2009 we find that each additional female director is associated with 7.6% fewer bids, and each additional female director on a bidder board reduces the bid premium paid by 15.4%. Our findings support the notion that female directors help create shareholder value through their influence on acquisition decisions. We also discuss other possible interpretations of our findings.     

Political corruption and mergers and acquisitions

This research examines the relation between political corruption and mergers and acquisitions (M&As). We find that local corruption increases firm acquisitiveness but decreases firm targetiveness. The levels of corruption in acquirer areas relate positively to the bid premiums and negatively to the likelihood of deal completion. Corruption motivates acquiring firms to use excess cash for payment, which mitigates the negative effect of corruption on acquirer shareholder value. The evidence indicates that acquisitions help acquiring firms convert cash into hard-to-extract assets and relocate assets from the high to low corruption areas, thereby shielding their liquid assets from expropriation by local officials.     

Trust and cross-border mergers and acquisitions

A number of studies suggest that social trust matters for investment. Using different measures of trust from World Values Survey, we show that countries where people display higher levels of trust engage in more cross-border M&A activities. When they do, these acquirers pay lower premiums. To the extent that these acquirers also tend to engage in larger acquisitions as well, our findings suggest that a larger selection pool of potential targets and higher value targets enable these acquirers to negotiate for lower premiums. We do not find evidence of the significant effect for target country trust levels. Hence, trust may benefit those acquiring firms in cross-border transactions.     

Tournament-based incentives and mergers and acquisitions

This research examines the relation between tournament-based incentives, which are proxied by the difference between a firm's CEO pay and the median pay of the senior managers, and mergers and acquisitions (M&As). We find that tournament-based incentives are positively related to firm acquisitiveness and acquiring firms' stock and operating performance. Further analysis indicates that positive acquisition performance increases the likelihood of the CEO being promoted from inside the acquiring firm. Our evidence is consistent with the view that tournament-based incentives motivate acquiring firms' managers to make greater efforts and take more risk that result in superior acquisition performance.     

Corporate Innovations and Mergers and Acquisitions

Using a large and unique patent‐merger data set over the period 1984 to 2006, we show that companies with large patent portfolios and low R&D expenses are acquirers, while companies with high R&D expenses and slow growth in patent output are targets. Further, technological overlap between firm pairs has a positive effect on transaction incidence, and this effect is reduced for firm pairs that overlap in product markets. We also show that acquirers with prior technological linkage to their target firms produce more patents afterwards. We conclude that synergies obtained from combining innovation capabilities are important drivers of acquisitions.     

East and west and north and south : A preliminary model

The Brandt report and other proposals for a new North-South world order continue to be the focus of lively debate, yet it is often argued that little concrete has emerged from their recommendations. A major reason for this, the author argues, is that the East-West conflict component is not sufficiently taken into consideration-East-West tensions are a severe constraint on and a determining factor of North-South relations. Using influence diagrams, the author develops a flexible framework for discussion and assessment of N/S-E/W relations.
