CEO turnover and shareholder wealth: Evidence from CEO power in Taiwan

This paper investigates the relationship between CEO turnovers and shareholder wealth and/or the volatility of firm performance, and examines whether CEO power matters in this relationship. Successors tend to possess less power than predecessors. The announcement effects of CEO turnovers present higher abnormal returns for turnovers in which predecessors and successors share a similar power level and a lower volatility for turnovers in which successors have less power. Volatility is lower and liquidity is higher when CEO turnovers involve successors with less power.     

中国资本市场融资顺序新证:可转债发行公告效应研究

This paper empirically shows that the announcements of the issue of convertible bonds (CBs) by Chinese firms have significant negative effects on shareholders’ wealth. We find that when the samples are partitioned by equity component negative market responses towards the announcements of issuing equity-like CBs are more than that of debt-like CBs. This finding is different from the “pecking order hypothesis” of Myers and Majluf (1984). By analyzing the firm characteristics of convertible bond issuers, we find that the wealth effects are negatively related to equity component, firm size and issue size of convertible bonds, and are positively related to financial leverage, liquidity structure of equity, book value of non-liquidity equity and market-to-book ratio. The underlying reason of equity finance taking precedence of bond finance in Chinese capital market can be attributed the to special “two-system-ownership structure” and corporate governance of Chinese listed companies.

浅析企业财务管理目标

目前流行的企业财务管理目标主要有“股东财富最大化”、“企业价值最大化”两种。从美日模式比较看,我国目前的情况更接近于日本模式,应选择“企业价值最大化”作为理财目标。从契约论角度看,“企业价值最大化”目标可以满足各利益相关者的要求。由于理财目标具有层次性,在实践中,以“企业价值最大化”为总目标,将“现金流量最大化”作为具体目标。

跨国投资决策主体及其他变量选择的探讨

本文认为,跨国公司投资决策,以子公司为主体进行现金流量的预测,不符合股东利益的要求,而以母公司为主体进行现金流量的预测,又违背了子公司作为独立经济实体的利益。利用复合主体进行评价,则可以扬长避短,兴利除弊,全面满足母、子公司决策的需要。首先进行以子公司为主体的评价,在子公司项目净现值大于零即项目本身可行的情况下,再进行以母公司为主体的投资评价,在此基础上合理处理利息和新增销售额对现金流量的影响,将更有利于投资决策的准确性。
