希腊债务危机点燃欧元危机

危机、危机、还是危机……自从2008年次贷危机爆发以来,全球经济进入了”言必称危机”的危机时代。从2009年第三季度开始,在遭遇全球金融危机的强烈冲击之后．世界经济逐步企稳回升,乐观的经济学家和政治家们甚至认为全球经济已步入”后危机时代”。然而从2009年年底开始．主权债务危机开始浮出水面。先是迪拜债务危机,后是眼下愈演愈烈的希腊债务危机。     

欧洲债务危机对我国经济的影响与启示

世界经济2007年以来在经历了次贷危机、国际金融危机和世界经济危机的袭击后，出现了复苏迹象，但欧洲主权债务危机给全球经济复苏再添变数，甚至引发世界经济二次探底的担忧。这次危机的爆发有复杂的原因，对我国经济会带来一系列影响。要从这次危机中吸取教训，尽可能减轻危机对我国经济的影响，并防范类似危机在我国发生。     

欧洲主权债务危机及启示

2009年以来的欧洲主权债务危机涉及了几乎所有欧洲国家,爆发的原因除了世界金融危机等外部原因外主要还是由于欧元区债务国自身的经济问题。欧元区此次债务危机不仅影响了整个欧元区经济,对中国进出口、资产价格等方面也有影响。以此为鉴,中国应当重视自身的债务状况及发展结构,在全球经济动荡的背景下把握机遇、迎接挑战进而更加稳健的发展本国经济。     

当前国际政府债务问题的影响与警示

为应对席卷全球的国际金融危机,各国政府纷纷采取经济刺激措施,代替民间企业和金融机构承担危机成本,这不可避免带来一定的政府债务问题。随着时间的推移,部分政府债务问题逐步凸显,成为全球经济走出危机阴影的障碍。文章分析认为,当前国际上政府债务问题呈现脆弱性、复杂性、集中性和长期性特征,成为全球经济复苏的绊脚石,甚至会给世界各国经济带来灾难性影响。文章同时总结了国际政府债务问题带给我国的启示。     

政府债务问题的国际扫描

为应对席卷全球的国际金融危机,各国政府纷纷采取经济刺激措施,代替民间企业和金融机构承担危机成本,从而带来一定的政府债务问题。随着时间的推移,这些政府债务问题逐步凸显,成为各国和全球经济走出危机阴影的障碍。当前国际上各国政府债务问题呈现脆弱性、复杂性、集中性和长期性特征,成为全球经济复苏的绊脚石,甚至会给世界各国经济带来灾难性影响。我国应该从中得到一些警示。     

关于进一步加强内蒙古地方政府债务管理的思考

今年年初以来,美国、意大利、希腊等国家先后爆发了政府债务危机,引起了世界各国的高度关注,很多国家已经开始密切关注本国政府债务情况,并就加强政府债务管理采取了各种措施防范和化解危机。我国作为经济发展中国家,近年来为支持经济快速发展,地方各级政府通过各种形式举借了大量的政府债务。据统计,     

爱尔兰债务危机及主权信用监管问题研究

爱尔兰债务危机的爆发主要是由于房地产泡沫破灭使银行陷入困境,政府不断向其注资导致巨额财政赤字。危机爆发后,爱尔兰国内积极采取各种措施对危机进行治理,欧盟委员会,国际货币基金组织也向爱尔兰提供了援救。爱尔兰债务危机对本国经济以及整个欧盟产生了重大的影响,此次危机更显现出了国家主权信用监管的不足。本文以爱尔兰债务危机为基础,对国家主权信用监管问题进行了相关研究,提出了如何在国家层面及区域经济联盟的层面对政府信用进行监管。

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.
