On the Risk of a Sovereign Debt Crisis in Italy

The intention for the Italian government to stimulate business activity via large increases in government spending is not in line with the stabilisation of the public debt ratio. Instead, if such policy were implemented, the risk of a sovereign debt crisis would be high. In this article, we analyse the capacity of the Italian economy to shoulder sovereign debt under different scenarios. We conclude that focusing on growth enhancing structural reforms, would allow for moderate increases in public expenditure.     

美国次级债危机产生的原因、影响及启示

美国次级债危机发端于2006年下半年,在2007年2月引起世人普遍关注,到2007年8月升级成席卷全球金融市场的风暴。为了更加细致深入地考察和有效地防止此危机,有必要从纷繁复杂的金融事件中去探求危机的形成。本文分析了美国次级债危机产生的原因、影响以及对我国政府及对金融机构的启示。     

The Role of China in the European Debt Crisis

G20 finance ministers' meeting closed at the end of this February focusing on how to effectively prevent the deterioration of European sovereign debt crisis and calling for the "self-help" of euro.Greece is the current focus of the media attention,but seen from     

货币危机、银行业危机与主权债务危机:一个文献研究

通过系统梳理货币危机、银行业危机和主权债务危机的相关文献,建立一个包含三类金融危机的统一分析框架,探寻这三类金融危机的概念特征、产生原因、交互关系、对经济的影响以及如何预警和防范。结果表明:三类金融危机的共同特征是危机爆发前政府、银行、企业和个人的债务过度积累;应对金融危机的巨额成本迫使我们要明确每次金融危机发生的类型和程度,科学理解不同类型金融危机的形成机理、不同类型金融危机之间的交互关系及对宏观经济的影响,这对于金融危机预警和防范及危机爆发后应急政策的制定非常关键。     

宏观政策的协调机制与欧洲债务危机

通过政策调整损失函数的理论模型分析,认为负的需求冲击是构成欧洲债务危机的前提,而缺乏货币政策协调的持续性扩张财政政策是欧洲债务危机的本质原因。对2000Q1—2010Q1的"PIIGS"的季度数据进行实证分析后,发现5国独立财政政策和欧元区共同货币政策的协调机制是存在冲突的。希腊长期均衡和短期调整均存在主权债务危机风险,因而成为首个爆发危机的国家。西班牙、意大利的短期调整虽暂时缓解了主权债务危机出现的可能,但不能解决发生危机的根本问题。而爱尔兰、葡萄牙只是短期内实施了过度的积极财政计划而造成了主权债务危机假象。     

How Will the Sovereign Debt Crisis Influence China?

If we use one phrase to generalize the world's real economy in 2011,the most appropriate one might be the sovereign debt crisis.As this crisis is going on,some European countries still have an extremely high debt-to-GDP ratio,which has hit 159％ in Greece,120% in Italy and exceeded 100％ in Portugal,Ireland and Spain.Even in some better-off countries like Germany,this ratio still hits more than 80％.Comparatively,the ratio for the U.S.is about 100％ and for Japan it reaches as high as 250％.     

欧元区主权债务危机分析

欧元区主权债务危机的爆发缘于欧元区分散的财政政策与统一的货币政策之间的二元矛盾;欧元区国家不可持续的社会经济结构模式;全球金融危机的冲击。欧元区主权债务危机从债权安全、国际贸易、汇率改革、人民币国际化等方面给我国带来挑战和机遇。欧洲主权债务危机对我国的总体影响是有限的,我国在近期也不可能出现主权债务危机,可以从欧元区主权债务危机中得到启示:加快经济结构优化调整;规范地方政府融资行为;谨慎开展区域货币一体化合作。     

欧洲主权债务危机及其影响

2010年2月初以来,随着美国次贷危机对各国经济的影响逐步消退、世界经济复苏越来越明显,欧洲主权债务危机开始进入人们的视野,国际金融市场出现震荡。欧洲主权债务危机对我国的影响主要是间接性的汇率风险,即我国巨额外汇储备中欧元部分的趋势性贬值风险。但是,我国应未雨绸缪,提早做好准备,主动积极应对欧洲主权债务危机。     

欧洲主权债务危机及其对中欧贸易的影响研究

随着希腊主权债务危机的爆发,整个欧元区乃至全球又一次地笼罩在经济危机的阴影下。由于欧元体制等问题,使得希腊的债务危机逐渐演变成为欧元区债务危机,其对全球金融市场和主要经济体都产生了重大的影响。本文首先阐述欧债危机产生的背景和原因,进而分析欧债危机对中欧贸易的主要影响,并提出相应的对策建议。     

对短期负债与国际金融危机关系的重新审视--基于双重代理的分析

按照金融危机理论，短期负债是造成国际金融危机的重要原因，为了防止金融危机的爆发，应该通过对短期资本流入征税等措施来限制甚至禁止短期外债。但基于双重代理的分析，短期负债会使政府采取对投资者更为有利的政策，这在确保贷款方回收贷款的同时，也提高了借款企业以及借款国的福利水平。因此，危机的原因应归结为借款方对借款能力的耗竭，而不是短期负债。     

美国次级债危机对我国商业银行的影响与启示

2007年8月,美国次级债危机全面爆发,并迅速波及世界金融市场。研究次级债的概念,并对次级债危机的成因进行分析。对此次次级债危机对我国商业银行的影响进行分析和评价,认为我国商业银行在此次危机中并未受到实质性影响,但其中仍有许多经验值得我国商业银行认真的思考和总结。     

货币本质内在冲突与欧洲主权债务危机

债务危机表面上为一种债权债务关系的不可持续,但本质上是一种货币的信用危机。虽然欧债危机的成因已有不同视角的解释,但从货币本质角度,货币作为信用货币与主权货币之间及货币作为流通手段与利益分配工具的本质之间均存在无法克服的内在冲突,才是欧元区主权债务危机的根本原因。     

External Public Debt,Trade Linkages and Contagion During the Eurozone Crisis

Against the backdrop of the contagion literature, the paper analyses the impact of financial and trade linkages on sovereign bond spreads in the Eurozone crisis. Using quarterly data for a sample of EMU countries during the period 2000–13, we estimate fixed‐effect panel models with Driscoll and Kraay standard errors that are robust to general forms of spatial and temporal dependence. Our main results can be summarised as follows: first, we suggest that the ‘sudden stop’ of capital inflow towards the peripheral sovereign debt triggered a re‐segmentation of financial markets and economic systems along national borders, with negative implications for risk‐sharing and the efficient allocation of capital. The ‘home bias’ effect – that is the increase in the share of sovereign debt held by domestic banks – worsened the country‐specific risk because the twin crisis (sovereign and banking) began to be conceived as more closely intertwined within countries than before. Second, the structure of international trade helps to account for the geographic scope of contagion, even after controlling for macroeconomic and fiscal vulnerabilities. Finally, the ‘substitution effect’ of public debt securities of stand‐alone emerging countries has affected more the sovereign spreads in the core than in the periphery.     

Decoupling and Contagion: The Special Case of the Eurozone Sovereign Debt Crisis

This paper demonstrates that the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis constitutes a special case in the contagion literature with general implications. Perfectly correlated bond markets imply that contagion can only occur if there is a decoupling to lower correlation levels with increased idiosyncratic shocks leading to more severe but less systemic spillovers. This theoretical prediction is fully supported by the empirical analysis. We also show that dynamic coexceedance estimates provide a more robust and more general picture of contagion than correlation‐based tests. Coexceedances identify only one major incidence of contagion that affected five periphery Eurozone countries in May 2010 and coincided with flight to quality from the periphery to the core and the 2010 “flash crash” in US equity markets.     

危机冲击、会计稳健性与债务资源配置

针对有关会计稳健性是否应作为一项会计信息质量特征的理论争议,文章从决策有用性的财务会计基本目标出发,以2008年金融危机为冲击事件实证检验了在危机环境中会计稳健性对债务资源配置的影响。结果表明与危机前相比,在金融危机期间会计稳健性不仅能引导债务资源的配置方向,而且能显著提高债务资源的配置效率。同时在考虑到我国特殊产权制度因素后进一步研究发现,相对于国有企业,稳健性对债务资源配置的影响在民营企业中表现得更加显著。文章研究从债务资源配置方向和配置效率两方面丰富了会计稳健性的债务契约理论,支持了会计稳健性作为一项会计信息质量特征的必要性,也对银行等金融机构的债务资源配置决策具有重要指导意义。
