Impact of Foreign Bank Entry on the Performance of Chinese Banks

This study investigates how foreign bank/investor penetrations influence local bank performance in China. At the country level, foreign bank penetration is proxied by MacroFP, measured by the percentage of banks with foreign strategic investors （FSI） among total banks. At the bank level foreign bank penetration is proxied by MicroFP, measured by the percentage shareholding of FSl in a bank. When foreign bank penetration is proxied by MacroFP, it is found to improve the profitability of local banks but not to reduce costs. Next, when foreign bank penetration is proxied by MicroFP, it is found to affect neither profitability nor costs. In sum, the present study demonstrates that the opening-up policy is correct from a macro perspective, However, for banks that have introduced FSI, determining the reasons for improvements in performance being inhibited is more important than releasing more shares to foreign investors.     

Financial Liberalization and the Industrial Response: Concentration and Entry in Malawi

It has been suggested that financial liberalization may be a key policy to promote industrialization as it removes the credit access constraint on firms, especially small and medium ones. We investigate the effect of credit expansion in the wake of liberalization on the structure of the industrial sectors in Malawi and find that, in contrast to the hypothesis above, it resulted in an increase in industrial concentration and a decrease in net firm entry, especially in sectors that are more finance dependent. The case of Malawi is interesting because financial liberalization has been justified precisely as a means for industrial development and because the implementation of the policy has been regarded as relatively successful.     

资本账户开放与我国银行体系风险

文章从理论和实证角度分析了我国人民币资本账户开放与银行体系风险的相互影响关系。研究发现,资本账户开放水平越高,越容易加剧国内银行体系风险;同时,银行体系风险的加剧反过来又会延缓资本账户开放进程。文章提出强化国内银行体系审慎监管,完善监管法制建设等政策建议。

外资银行进入与银行业竞争度研究

文章采用Panzar—Rosse模型测度了1985年至2008年间我国银行业市场竞争程度,并对外资银行进入程度与市场竞争度之间的关系进行了经验分析,结果表明,我国银行业市场结构类型在样本期内由寡头竞争型转变为垄断竞争型,市场集中度呈现出下降的趋势,而市场竞争程度相应的呈现出上升的趋势,股份制商业银行及城市商业银行的兴起和发展促进了国内银行业市场的竞争。外资银行进入程度与银行业市场竞争程度之间呈现U型关系,即外资银行进入初期并没有显著促进银行业的竞争,而是在进入程度达到某一阶段之后才起到刺激竞争的作用。     

An Examination of Entry and Competitive Performance in Rural Banking Markets

This article explores the change in the level of competition in rural banking markets after the deregulation that occurred following passage of the Riegle‐Neal Act of 1994. Using an empirical model that utilizes both the number of banks and the value of deposits in a cross‐section of 278 rural markets, we decompose the impact of the entry of new banks into resulting changes in per capita demand and the costs/profits of local banks in 1994 and 2004. The results support the view that local banking markets have become more competitive since the mid‐1990s.     

Performance of Domestic and Foreign Banks: The Case of Korea and the Asian Financial Crisis

Abstract

This paper examines the performance of banks, domestic and foreign, in Korea before and after the Asian financial crisis, examining how the profitability of those banks differed and identifying factors that explain why those differences existed. The performance of Korean banks deteriorated dramatically in 1998 with most banks recovering somewhat in 1999. Foreign banks did not experience the same negative effect on their performance as a rule. Overall, the domestic Korean banks suffered more severely from the Asian financial crisis than foreign banks. Several possible explanations exist. First, foreign banks, unlike domestic Korean banks, were not subject to credit allocation directives from the Korean government to selected, favoured industries. Second, foreign banks, since they relied for governance on the mother bank in the home country, achieved higher efficiency and better asset and liability management. Finally, foreign banks rely more heavily on fee-for-service income rather than loan revenue.     

新兴市场国家金融部门外国直接投资问题研究

20世纪90年代中期以后,在一系列因素的作用下,新兴市场国家的FSFDI迅速增长。FS-FDI具有提高新兴市场国家的资本分配效率等积极作用,但同时也产生了新的金融脆弱性,使新兴市场国家的金融监管当局面临重大挑战。新兴市场国家在吸收FSFDI时应当加强审慎有效的金融监管;合理控制FSFDI的数量并鼓励本国金融机构提高国际化程度;统筹规划FSFDI的格局,避免来源国过于集中。目前,外资银行对中国金融部门的直接投资尚处在准备阶段,随着中国金融自由化步伐的逐步加快,以中国为首的东亚新兴市场国家将成为吸收国际FSFDI的主力。

我国金融监管体制存在不少缺陷,致使金融监管不到位。本文通过对中外金融监管体制的比较分析,建议借鉴国外的先进做法,提高监管预见性,加快培育社会信用,加强监管法制化建设,增强监管透明度,不断创新监管制度。     

Economic Growth and Electricity Consumption in GCC and MENA Countries

This study estimates the causal relationship between oil rents, electricity consumption and economic growth at aggregate levels with annual data from between 1972 and 2011 for the Arab states of the Gulf and some Middle East and North African countries. An autoregressive distributed lag bounds test shows that oil rents, economic growth and electricity consumption are cointegrated for these countries in a stable manner over this whole period. Granger causality tests indicate that directions of causalities differ for the countries according to their natural resource levels. Thus, these countries can be classified according to their oil rent levels for implementing energy policies such as energy conservation.     

外资银行进入对中国商业银行竞争行为影响的实证研究

本文通过结构断点检验,对中国加入WTO是否引起中国商业银行竞争行为出现明显变化进行验证,在此基础上,实证研究外资银行进入与中国商业银行竞争行为之间的关系。结果表明:加入WTO后,国内银行业的对外开放,显著地提升了国内银行业的竞争,并且中小型商业银行之间竞争的加剧明显高于大型商业银行。外资银行进入与中国商业银行竞争行为之间呈现倒U型。外资银行进入会加剧中国商业银行之间的竞争,但只有当外资银行进入程度达到一定水平时,中国商业银行之间的市场竞争行为才会出现反转。目前,中国商业银行的市场竞争仍处于倒U型阶段的上升阶段,现阶段我国仍属于外资银行进入初期。     

Foreign and Domestic Shocks: Macroeconomic Responses of ASEAN-3 Countries

Abstract

The study provides new empirical evidence on the relative importance of foreign and domestic shocks on selected ASEAN-3 (Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand) macroeconomic variables. Three structural vector auto regression models are estimated for each country. The focal point is given on the formulation of the sources of foreign factors. The first model uses trade-weighted foreign variables of both US and Japan to represent the foreign factors. The other two models use US and Japan by themselves, respectively, to represent the foreign factors. Two important results are emerged. First, foreign sectors play an important role in influencing macroeconomic variables of each of the ASEAN-3 country, especially in the medium and the long-run horizon. Second, most of the time, the Japanese factors are more dominant than the US factors in influencing domestic output and inflation for each of the ASEAN-3 countries.

金融服务贸易自由化下的金融管制研究

本文首先在对金融服务贸易壁垒和金融管制内涵界定的基础上，澄清了学术界关于金融服务贸易自由化和金融管制关系看似矛盾的观点。文章接着通过对《金融服务协议》相关制度和WTO成员国金融服务市场开放度情况的考察说明西方部分学者所说的金融服务贸易自由化下WTO成员国金融管制权自主性仅是理论上的，实际中则并不完全自主。最后本文还提出了我国金融服务贸易自由化下的新金融管制模式。     

Financial Deregulation and the Bank Lending Channel in Developing Countries: The Case of Indonesia

The dominant role of commercial banks as a source of finance and the considerable asymmetry of information in financial markets in developing countries have raised an argument that the bank lending channel of monetary transmission mechanism would be very important in such countries. This study addresses the issue by investigating empirically whether there are differential effects of monetary policy on banks' balance sheets, and its implications to the existence of the bank lending channel of monetary policy in Indonesia, especially since the early 1980s when the government adopted a policy of financial deveculation. We find significant differences of balance sheet behaviour across bank classes in response to a change in monetary policy, consistent with the predictions of the bank lending view. We also found that because of access to foreign funds and the existence of bank loan commitment, the monetary policy was unable to constrain loan supply by the large (state) banks, indicating that the bank lending channel operates through smaller (non-state) banks.
