会计稳健性、高管社会网络与企业创新-来自中国上市公司的经验证据

以2008-2012年我国沪深非金融类A股上市公司为样本,运用社会网络分析方法,实证检验高管社会网络和会计稳健性分别对企业创新的影响,以及高管社会网络对会计稳健性和企业创新关系的影响.结果发现:高管社会网络中心度和会计稳健性均可以促进企业创新;但高管社会网络中心度削弱了会计稳健性对企业创新的促进作用.     

城乡一体化中的异质性金融需求：诸城案例

2007年以来,山东诸城以农村社区为依托,开始了以“城乡一体化”为主要特点的城镇化发展进程。本文对该市城镇化进程中金融需求特点及如何通过金融创新适应城镇化需求情况进行了深入分析,认为城镇化进程中的金融需求具有异质性。金融服务必须要关注城镇化金融需求的异质性,才能实现金融发展与城镇化的双赢。此外,本文认为,城镇化发展的区域差异性,决定了优化金融支持城镇化效果必须要充分发挥地方政府的作用。     

人口老龄化对技术创新的时空异质性效应研究

基于时空异质性视角,依据省级面板数据,考量人口老龄化对技术创新的影响.结果显示:人口老龄化对技术创新的影响呈时空异质性,由于存在多重效应叠加,在全国层面统计上不显著.中西部地区表现为抑制作用,东部地区表现出促进作用,且在考虑了阶段差异和空间因素后依然显著;人口老龄化对技术创新的边际影响表现出阶段异质性,在创新水平较低时影响不显著,但随着创新水平的提升逐步增强;老龄化的技术创新效应强度在不同维度下差异显著,在经济维度下作用更为明显.     

营商环境改善对企业技术创新的影响——来自中国企业微观层面的经验证据

利用世界银行发布的中国企业数据,考量营商环境改善对企业技术创新的影响.结果发现:从总样本来看,我国营商环境改善显著促进企业技术创新;从内在机制来看,营商环境改善通过国际贸易变动和受教育程度两个机制影响企业技术创新.鉴于此,我国应继续深化\"放管服\"改革,大力构建亲情新型政商关系,强化知识产权创造保护和运用,不断完善产权制度尤其是知识产权保护制度,以营造更加公开透明快捷高效的营商环境.     

The impact of digital transformation of manufacturing on corporate performance — The mediating effect of business model innovation and the moderating effect of innovation capability

Digital technologies have been rapidly changing traditional industries. In the given context, this study reveals the internal influence mechanism of digital transformation on the corporate performance of the manufacturing industry based on the resource-based view theory. We build a theoretical framework incorporating business model innovation and innovation capability as mediator and moderator variables. To evaluate our hypothesis, we conduct an empirical study on 255 Chinese manufacturing enterprises. We classify digital transformation into exploitative and explorative transformations with the ambidexterity theory. The results show that exploitative and explorative digital transformations significantly and positively impact corporate performance, and business model innovation has a significant mediating effect. Innovation capability positively moderates the impact of exploitative and explorative digital transformations on business model innovation and moderates the mediating effect of business model innovation. This paper provides support for promoting the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy.     

Can foreign suppliers act as “innovation springboards” for firms? Evidence from China

This study provides a new approach for measuring supplier characteristics by distinguishing the countries where they are located. Using data of Chinese listed companies, we explore how firms' R&D investment and innovation efficiency (patents and citations) are affected by having foreign suppliers in their top five suppliers. Our findings suggest that foreign suppliers acting as transmitters of international technology increase firms' innovation efficiency based on organizational learning theory. Moreover, a series of uncertainties caused by foreign suppliers encourages firms to invest more in R&D based on strategic growth option theory. Mechanism tests show that foreign suppliers from countries with high innovation capacity and a similar Eastern culture have a greater impact on corporate innovation. Firms conduct more R&D activities to mitigate the uncertainties caused by foreign suppliers when they have insufficient overseas channels to acquire international knowledge and a high degree of dependence on foreign suppliers. These results are consistent with a series of robustness tests after accounting for endogeneity.     

Trade Liberalization and Exports Promotion: A Dynamic and Heterogeneous Analysis Under the Case of Chile

We develop a dynamic and heterogeneous firm model that embodies a firm’s joint decisions to export and innovate and allows both decisions to affect the firm’s production growth. We then calibrate the model with data obtained from Chilean manufacturing plants between 2005 and 2007 and simulate the impact of trade liberalization under different combinations of industry age and speed of trade liberalization. On the one hand, a quickly implemented trade liberalization policy significantly increases the exports intensity of a young industry newly opening up to the world. The increase in exports intensity is greater with quicker implementation of trade liberalization. On the other hand, trade liberalization for a mature industry does not lead to a significant impact on exports intensity.     

杠杆率、企业规模与企业创新

选取2010-2015年沪深A股上市公司的面板数据,借助门槛模型研究企业杠杆率与企业创新的关系。结果显示：杠杆率对企业创新有显著影响,存在既能促进创新同时降低风险的企业最优杠杆率区间,即当杠杆率处于9.3%~37.1%的范围时,杠杆率的提升能够最大地促进创新投入与创新产出,同时降低创新风险;但当前我国大部分企业并未达到增加创新产出与降低创新风险的最优均衡。同时,不同规模企业杠杆率与创新的关系具有差异性,大型企业促进创新且可规避风险的最优杠杆率的区间为杠杆率低于67.0%,中型企业为杠杆率低于22.5%,小型企业则是7.8%~17.0%的区间范围。应正确理解中央“去杠杆”政策,推进结构性去杠杆,力求在“降杠杆”和“促创新”之间达成最优平衡。     

公司社会责任履行对财务业绩的影响--基于发布企业社会责任报告下的研究

文章以2011～2012年披露企业社会责任报告的486家上市公司为样本,运用OLS回归方法,实证检验上市公司在发布企业社会责任报告的情况下,公司社会责任对财务业绩的影响。研究结果表明：上市公司多次发布企业社会责任报告能够促进公司财务业绩;公司履行社会责任能够直接促进公司财务业绩的提高;上市公司履行社会责任可以通过发布企业社会责任报告提高公司财务业绩。     

Corporate social responsibility and financial performance: the “virtuous circle” revisited

We examine the causal relation between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance. Consistent with past studies, we find that the two variables appear to be related when we use traditional statistical techniques. However, using a time series fixed effects approach, we find that the relation between CSR and financial performance is much weaker than previously thought. We also find little evidence of causality between financial performance and narrower measures of social performance that focus on stakeholder management. Our results suggest that strong stock market performance leads to greater firm investment in aspects of CSR devoted to employee relations, but that CSR activities do not affect financial performance. We conclude that CSR is driven more by unobservable firm characteristics than by financial performance.

国外公司公民思想研究新进展

公司公民思想是20世纪90年代公司社会责任概念与利益相关者理论相融合的产物,先是由公司在实践层面运用,然后得到了政府的推动,最终激发了学者们的研究热情。公司公民思想的内涵由初期的局部观逐步发展到目前的营销工具观和战略投资观,公司公民思想的发展历经初始、参与、创新、整合和转型五个阶段,公司公民思想发挥作用需要具备一定的制度条件。     

Are red or blue companies more likely to go green? Politics and corporate social responsibility

Using the firm-level corporate social responsibility (CSR) ratings of Kinder, Lydenberg, Domini, we find that firms score higher on CSR when they have Democratic rather than Republican founders, CEOs, and directors, and when they are headquartered in Democratic rather than Republican-leaning states. Democratic-leaning firms spend $20 million more on CSR than Republican-leaning firms ($80 million more within the sample of S&P 500 firms), or roughly 10% of net income. We find no evidence that firms recover these expenditures through increased sales. Indeed, increases in firm CSR ratings are associated with negative future stock returns and declines in firm ROA, suggesting that any benefits to stakeholders from social responsibility come at the direct expense of firm value.     

Do women managers keep firms out of trouble? Evidence from corporate litigation and policies

We find that firms where women have more power in the top management team, measured by female executives’ plurality and pay slice, face fewer operations-related lawsuits. This effect is robust to several treatments of endogeneity and does not appear to be driven by female executives' greater willingness to settle the cases. Evidence from a simultaneous equations approach suggests that firms where women executives have more power avoid lawsuits partly by avoiding some risky but value-increasing firm policies, such as more aggressive R&D, intensive advertising, and policies inimical to other parties.     

公务卡结算方式相关问题研究

公务卡作为一种现代化支付结算工具,具有使用便捷,透明度高等特点。公务卡结算在国内起步相对较晚,从2007年开始试点,经过几年来的积极推进,公务卡制度已基本实现对各级政府的全覆盖,成为我国公务支出管理领域的一项基础性制度。本文介绍了公务卡在国内和本省的实施情况,深入分析了公务卡制度执行中存在的问题,并提出完善预算单位公务卡结算的建议和措施。
