DISTRIBUTIONS OF FINANCIAL RATIOS IN THE COMMERCIAL BANKING INDUSTRY

Much research in banking assumes that the data are normally distributed. There has been little empirical confirmation of this assumption. In this paper, the normality assumption is subjected to an extensive test using data for virtually all U.S. commercial banks for several years. The statistical characteristics of 11 common financial ratios are investigated. The findings reject any broad assumption of population normality.     

我国金融发展与经济增长关系的理论与实证研究

改革开放以来,金融发展对我国的经济增长具有积极的推动作用,但力度有限,甚至有些指标还呈现负面影响;总体来看,我国的金融发展滞后于经济增长,现行的金融体制已无法满足企业扩张带来日益增长的融资需求。改善目前落后的金融发展局面,一方面,应努力拓宽企业的融资渠道,让企业更多的利用资本市场进行直接融资,改善融资机制,消除“所有制歧视”,为中小企业创造良好的投融资环境;另一方面,要加速资本市场的发展和规范,发掘债券市场的潜力,为直接融资提供更大空间,并且积极推进非国有银行和中小银行的发展,促成金融机构的合理竞争。     

商业银行个人金融理财业务的理论与实践

开展个人金融理财业务已成为商业银行新一轮金融竞争的焦点,但在认识和实践上往往存在把个人金融理财业务等同于商业银行零售业务或者仅仅理解为信息咨询类业务的种种误区,影响了其健康发展.本文从业务性质、服务对象、法律关系等多方面对其进行考察,认为个人金融理财业务是一种有特定外延和内涵的金融业务、其服务对象是特定的个人(不仅仅指个体的自然人)、是以咨询与代理为主要内容的综合性中间业务,在此基础上提出的定义对其业务功能作了新的定位.新的定位将有助于发挥个人金融理财业务既是商业银行新的效益增长点,又是其他中间业务和资产负债业务强劲助推器的积极作用.     

CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND THE VALUATION OF LARGE COMMERCIAL BANKING ORGANIZATIONS

Bankers argue that regulatory agencies require excessive capital adequacy. As a consequence, banks cannot achieve optimal capital structure. This study investigates the capital adequacy issue for bank holding companies over the 1974—1983 period, one of the most turbulent periods in recent banking history. During this time, capital is never excessive from the stockholders' viewpoint, and financial markets, on average, perceive capital levels as inadequate. Assuming the public wants no lower capital levels than shareholders, recent regulatory action to require higher capital ratios is a Pareto superior decision.     

客户关系管理及其在我国商业银行领域的应用

客户关系管理(CRM)是现代管理科学与先进信息技术结合的产物,是企业重新树立以客户为中心的发展战略,并在此基础上开展的包括判断、选择、争取、发展和保持客户的过程;是企业以客户关系为重点,通过优化组织体系和业务流程,提高客户满意度和忠诚度,提高运营效率和利润的工作实践;也是企业为最终实现电子化运营目标所创造和使用的信息技术、软硬件系统及集成管理方法、解决方案的总和.我国商业银行在以信息化建设带动自身发展过程中,应注重客户关系管理理念,推动CRM系统的实施,以确保银行挖掘客户资源、再造组织结构、优化业务流程、提高其电子化运营水平、实现重塑银行核心竞争力的目标.     

THE RATE OF RETURN FROM INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORTS AND THE ALLOCATION PROBLEM IN FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING

Estimation theory in accounting explains how accountants allocate noncash expenditures to estimate such concepts as the firm's long run rate of return. If the accountant's goal in estimation is some high degree of precision, the usefulness of financial reports can be evaluated in light of that goal. In this study, the property of unbiasedness is identified with respect to the purposes of interim financial reports. Furthermore, the magnitude of the bias in estimates from financial reports is measured.     

利率市场化条件下国有商业银行个人金融业务的改革

利率市场化是我国金融体制改革的一项重要举措,必将对国有商业银行个人金融业务发展产生重大影响。利率市场化是对国有商业银行的一个严峻考验,总体对策是要在利率市场化过程中寻求和确立竞争优势。国有商业银行可以从改进服务和降低成本两方面来寻求竞争优势。通过价值链分析和流程再造,国有商业银行可以提升个人金融服务和降低经营成本。在具体措施方面,应该根据提升服务和降低成本的中心思想,再造个人金融业务流程、发展社区银行服务、加强产品整合和创新、实行差别化服务、发展个人理财服务、加快人才培养和提高经营管理水平。
