The Effect on a Firm's Financing and Investment Decisions of Differential Taxation as Barriers to International Investment

The effect of barriers to international investment (in the form of differential taxation) upon a firm's investment and financing decision is analyzed through a newly derived international capital asset pricing model. A firm using an improper project selection criterion which fails to account for the effect of barriers to international investment may reject a desirable project with high systematic risk, whereas it may incorrectly accept an undesirable project with low systematic risk. The financial risk premium under barriers is greater than that in the absence of barriers to international investment. In addition, the lower is the degree of barriers to international investment, the more domestic securities will gain, even when both countries impose a tax on investors of different nationality.     

论国际直接投资和国际贸易相互融合趋势

论电子商务对国际税权划分的影响

电子商务对现有税收协定原则提出了根本的挑战。对现行税收协定原则作根本性修改的建议尽管解决了电子商务在来源国征不到税的问题,但却给征管工作带来了难以克服的困难。下一步的工作主要是进一步对电子商务的影响进行跟踪研究,尽量采取一些微调的办法来解决因电子商务产生的国际税权划分的问题。     

Market Integration and Investment Barriers in Emerging Equity Markets

This article develops a return-based measure of market integrationfor nineteen emerging equity markets. It then examines the relationbetween that measure, other return characteristics, and broadlydefined investment barriers. Although the analysis is exploratory,some clear conclusions emerge. First, global factors accountfor a small fraction of the time variation in expected returnsin most markets, and global predictability has declined overtime Second, the emerging markets exhibit differing degreesof market integration with the U.S. market, and the differencesare not necessarily associated with direct barriers to investment.Third, the most important de facto barriers to global equity-marketintegration are poor credit ratings, high and variable inflation,exchange rate controls, the lack of a high-quality regulatoryand accounting framework, the lack of sufficient country fundsor cross-listed securities, and the limited size of some stockmarkets.

国际投资头寸表编制的国际比较研究

近二十年来经济、金融全球一体化的迅速发展,主要表现为全球贸易与投资规模的不断扩大以及资本流动的加剧,这些都会使一国经济面临的不确定性增大。为这种不确定性风险进行衡量和控制,编制一个完整的国际帐户体系就变得必不可少。通常我们所说的国际帐户是指国际收支平衡表(Balance of Payments,简称BOP),然而根据国际货币基金组织的规定,一个完整的国际帐户体系不仅包括国际收支平衡表,还应包括一个反映一国是否为债权国或债务国的国际投资头寸表(International Investment Position,简称ⅡP)。本文阐述了国际投资头寸表和国际收支平衡表的关系、ⅡP的编制原则；在此基础上对美英日等国的ⅡP进行了简要分析,并对中国编制和公布ⅡP进行了前瞻分析。     

揭开定量投资的神秘面纱

从国际视角看金融业进入壁垒

金融产业的进入壁垒包括经济性进入壁垒和非经济性进入壁垒,发达国家的进入壁垒主要表现为经济性进入壁垒;发展中国家的进入壁垒则主要表现为非经济性进入壁垒。进入壁垒的改革与其他配套改革的复杂性使发展中国家面临的改革任务更加艰巨。     

Investment Horizon Effects

Abstract:   Boudry and Gray (2003) have documented that the optimal buy‐and‐hold demand for Australian stocks is not necessarily increasing in the investment horizon when returns are predictable. Such finding is in contrast with Barberis (2000) who shows that positive monotonic horizon effects predominate for US stocks. Using a closed‐form approximation to the asset allocation problem, this paper relates the return dynamics to the investor's portfolio choice for different investment horizons. In the special case of a single risky asset, it is shown that return predictability under stationarity may induce both positive and negative horizon effects in the optimal allocation to the risky asset. The paper extends previous empirical results by solving for the optimal portfolio when two risky assets with predictable returns are available for investment.

论投资银行业务面临的发展机遇与应对策路

近年来随着我国资本市场的蓬勃发展,投资银行业务也呈几何级数快速发展,业绩也逐年大幅增长,而越来越多的客户已经不满足于商业银行提供的存贷款等传统服务,而要求商业银行提供包括重组并购、企业理财等投行业务在内的综合金融服务.因此,商业银行境内分行应当抓住机遇,大力发展投资银行业务,实现传统商业银行业务与投资银行业务的相互支持和协调发展,增强盈利的多元化,全面提升核心竞争力.     

U.S. International Equity Investment

Using a comprehensive data set of all U.S. investment in foreign equities, we find that the single most important determinant of the amount of U.S. investment a foreign firm receives is whether the firm cross‐lists on a U.S. exchange. Correcting for selection biases, cross‐listing leads to a doubling (or more) in U.S. investment, an impact greater than all other factors combined. Much of this increased U.S. investment is purchased in the foreign market, implying that the cross‐listing effect reflects something more fundamental about a firm than easier acquisition of its securities. We also demonstrate that cross‐listing is an important determinant of U.S. international investment at the country level and describe easy‐to‐implement methods for including a cross‐listing variable as an endogenous control.

跨国投资所得税规则的国际比较与借鉴

投资所得是指纳税人从事各种间接的或被动性的投资活动而取得的各种收益,包括股息、利息和特许权使用费等,这类收益所得具有支付人相对固定,而受益人比较零散的特点,所以各国对投资所得征税一般分两种情况分别处理:对于本国居民法人和居民个人以及非居民法人通过设在境内的常设机构获得的各种投资所得,一般规定并入年度营业利润或个人所得中,征收公司所得税或个人所得税;对于非居民和未在境内设立常设机构的外国法人从境内取得的投资年得,一般采取源泉控制的方式征税,征收预提(所得)税.     

On the Feasibility of Insurers' Investment Policies

This article calls attention to a difficulty with insurers' investment policies that seems to have been overlooked so far. There is the distinct possibility that insurers cannot satisfy the demands of different stakeholders in terms of expected returns and volatility. While using the capital asset pricing model as the benchmark, this article distinguishes two groups of stakeholders that impose additional constraints. One is “income security” in the interest of current beneficiaries and older workers; the other is “predictability of contributions” in the interest of contributing younger workers and sponsoring employers. It defines the conditions for which the combination of these constraints results in a lack of feasibility of investment policy. Minimum deviation from the capital market line is proposed as the performance benchmark in these situations.

国际投资协定框架下的税收问题研究

作为典型的“国家管理权”行为,东道国的税收措施可享有主权豁免。在通常情况下,与税收有关的投资争议不具可仲裁性。然而,晚近的缔约和法律实践却表明,在国际投资领域,东道国税收主权的绝对豁免已被突破,私人可以依据国际投资协定的有关规定将东道国的税收措施诉至国际仲裁庭。为此,需要引入专门的“税收条款”,将可仲裁的税收事项限定于一定范围之内,以平衡东道国与外国投资者之间的利益。此类条款的引入也符合中国身兼投资输入大国和投资输出大国的发展中国家的综合利益。
