金融危机下中国保险业的发展契机

由美国次贷危机引发的金融危机迅速成为影响全球的经济危机,保险业面临着严重的挑战,但只要紧紧抓住保险业的本质特征,以科学发展观为指导,金融危机就能成为拉动保险业发展的契机。要使危机能够拉动保险业的发展,首先要转变经营理念,使保险业恢复它的本质功能。危机拉动保险的关键是产品开发,要大力进行抗风险的产品创新,开发出适应社会应对金融危机中需求的保险产品;同时在金融危机中完成保险市场转型,彻底改变保险业的形象,真正实现保险业从以保费为中心的市场转变为以风险控制为中心的市场。     

Pitfalls in using market prices to assess the financial condition of depository institutions

In this article we examine the information that stock prices provide about the financial condition of federally insured thrift institutions. In order to assess their financial condition from the different perspectives of stockholders and the federal insurer, we calculate the value of the put option of federal deposit insurance available to thrift institutions. Our results demonstrate that the two perspectives often provide, particularly for unhealthy institutions, quite different views of the financial condition of individual institutions.     

要关注保险行业的边缘化倾向

从1980年全面恢复国内保险业务以来,保险业务收入以年均30%的增幅高速增长。但由于保险行业长期以来过度关注保险业务收入数据,在发展过程中忽略了保险业务收入的内涵,导致保险业务收入高速增长的同时,保险行业对于社会应当承担的经济补偿和民生保障的职能在弱化,每逢有大灾大难,本应有突出表现的保险业却经常集体失语,保险行业出现边缘化的倾向,如,保险业过度关注保险业务增长、非寿险业务发展缓慢、财产保险业务的滞后等。     

论保险的本质与保险业在金融行业中的角色定位

保险的本质是以资金解决了经济社会运行过程中要素的短缺与需求之间的矛盾,实现了风险的分散和财富的调剂,保障了经济社会生活的稳定运行。从保险的本质出发,明确保险业在金融行业中的角色定位,是保险业实现科学发展的前提。在当前经济金融环境不确定因素增加,行业发展尚不充分的情况下,保险业偏离保障发展方向可能带来潜在的风险。只有坚持保险保障的发展方向,立足于专业化经营,不断创新,进一步加强监管,才能真正实现保险事业又好又快的科学发展。     

高度重视风险防范促进保险业健康发展

2008年以来国际金融危机的发生,对很多国家金融业形成重创,保险业也受到了很大影响。反观国内保险业,近年来带有投资性质的保险衍生产品的无序扩张也造成一些结构性的矛盾和问题,影响着整个行业的稳定健康发展。同时,市场经济的发展也对保险业提出了新的要求。保险业应坚持保险产品保障本质,促进产品结构调整优化;坚持保险投资安全原则,确保保险资金稳健运用;重视发挥风险预防功能,推动现代保险业的发展;发挥商业保险专业优势,承担社会保障重要责任。     

Proposal: a position for the insurance industry on genetic testing

Proposed legislation to limit the use of genetic test results in insurance underwriting has appeared with increasing frequency at the state and federal level. The proponents seek to protect consumers from unfair discrimination by insurers. Can we not develop a proactive approach, acknowledging that we do not need to do prospective testing while we assert that we must retain the current status of equivalency of information between the underwriter and the applicant?     

从保险消费观视角分析我国保险业的发展

对正确保险消费观的研究,不仅对我国保险消费者的消费行为具有重要的指导意义,而且对于完善我国保险市场,实现我国保险业的科学发展亦有十分重要的作用。正确保险消费观,是以风险转移为先,以购买经济保障为本,以互助共济为己任,以最大诚信为最高准则,以保险作为生存必须品,以可持续消费为目标的保险消费理念体系。保险保障形式是整个保障体系中最普遍、最经常、最基础和最重要的防灾救灾形式,它和社会保障共同处于整个防灾救灾体系的基础地位。

M&As performance in the European financial industry

This paper looks at the performance record of M&As that took place in the European Union financial industry in the period 1998–2002. First, the paper reports evidence on shareholder returns from the merger. Merger announcements implied positive excess returns to the shareholders of the target company around the date of the announcement, with a slight positive excess-return on the 3-months period prior to announcement. Returns to shareholders of the acquiring firms were essentially zero around announcement. One year after the announcement, excess returns were not significantly different from zero for both targets and acquirers. The paper also provides evidence on changes in the operating performance for the subsample of merges involving banks. M&As usually involved targets with lower operating performance than the average in their sector. The transaction resulted in significant improvements in the target banks performance beginning on average 2 years after the transaction was completed. Return on equity of the target companies increased by an average of 7%, and these firms also experience efficiency improvements.

基于职业教育的保险人才培养模式探讨

中国保险业的发展带来了保险人才需求结构性变化,而保险职业教育是我国保险业破除人才需求瓶颈的有效途径。为了完善保险职业教育人才培养模式,必须构建以保险人才市场需求为导向的课程体系,建立以工作过程为中心的教学模式,完善以职业能力训练为重点的实训教学体系,建设以双师结构为标准的师资队伍。     

Structuring Deposit Insurance for a United Europe

This paper analyses the difficulties associated with imposing a unified deposit insurance scheme in a unified Europe. Specifically, it investigates the determinants of optimal deposit insurance in light of the Commission's 1994 decision requiring mandatory minimum coverage and encouraging a single unified deposit insurance structure. Issues of deposit insurance premiums and tax burden are analysed in the context of a general equilibrium-type model. The results indicate that taxes, the optimal degree of deposit insurance, and societal risk aversion are all interrelated in such a structure. Therefore, a common insurance system may not be feasible nor appropriate for a first best solution; co-ordination and even unified taxation may be necessary. At the minimum, exceedingly close macroeconomic policy co-ordination will be necessary for the single market for financial services to come to fruition and achieve stability.

Risk management within the cannabis industry: Building a framework for the cannabis industry

Thirty states and the District of Columbia have legalized the use of cannabis for medicinal and/or recreational use by either formally or informally de‐criminalizing its use. However, cannabis remains a Schedule 1 drug under the Federal Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. Sections 801 through 812), leaving federal law in conflict with the laws of over half of the states. As a result, market participants in legal cannabis businesses face risks due to the industry's unique legal status within the United States. We examine the risks and challenges deemed by the cannabis industry as the top risks facing the industry's continued future growth and its sustainability. In addition to general risks inherent in a nascent industry, a legal cannabis business faces additional risks, such as risks in its banking and finance activity, placement of insurance, payment of taxes, and managing its supply chain. These legal businesses also face true legal risk from the possibility of being shut down by the federal government and seizure of assets and product under the CSA. This paper also examines whether the cannabis industry would benefit from a futures market to mitigate price risk.

基于统一税收制度下的银行存款保险制度改进研究

多年来,我们对于存款保险制度安排的创新不足,对社会福利的影响研究较少,研究重点主要集中在基于银行缴纳保费的存款保险计划制定、定价方法、道德风险的规避及对银行体系的效用方面。事实上,只有通过统一的税收制度建立存款保险计划才能提高社会福利,并在该框架下实现对民间借贷的有效调节。
