The issuer effect on default risk insured municipal bond yields

In this study, an interesting aspect of the secondary market's pricing of the riskiness of insured municipal bonds is examined. Do secondary market investors still consider the underlying intrinsic credit quality of the issuer in pricing insured bonds? Is the pricing of this “issuer effect” treated equally for both revenue and general obligation bonds? We find that, while the market does not differentiate between equally insured revenue and general obligation bonds, the intrinsic credit quality of the issuer is reflected in the bond issue's quality spread. The results suggest that investors are concerned with the default risk protection of insured municipal bonds regardless of whether they are revenue or general obligation bonds. The market does not perceive insurers to be perfect substitutes for issuers in a risk transfer. Further, the results suggest there is justification for obtaining an agency rating according to issuer credit quality even for insured bonds.     

经费不足对审计的影响

《中华人民共和国审计法》第十一条规定:“审计机关履行职责所必须的经费,应当列入财政预算,由本级人民政府予以保证”。《中华人民共和国审计法实施条例》第九条规定:“审计机关履行职责所必须的经费预算,在本级预算中单独列项,由本级人民政府予以保证”。审计机关成立二十年来,各级政府在财力比较紧张的情况下努力保证审计机关     

The coupon-induced tax clientele effect in bond prices

A pricing model for default-free bonds under differentia! taxation of coupon income and capital gains is presented which explicitly considers coupon-induced tax clienteles. Subsequent analysis provides indirect evidence in support of the existence of the coupon-induced tax clientele effect, while direct evidence is provided by analyzing differences in marginal tax rates estimated across different coupon levels for sets of US Treasury bonds with the same maturity date. The results are also generally consistent with the traditional notion that marginal tax rates are inversely related to coupon levels.

私募股权基金发展的实践研究

相对于西方发达经济体,私募股权基金在中国金融市场中发展较晚。虽然我国私募股权基金发展非常迅速,并且已形成一定规模,但由于缺乏相应的法律制度的约束,以及组合各类要素的金融工具,其运行和发展也存在诸多问题。因此,我们要借鉴国外私募股权基金的发展历程,在进行私募股权基金的实践中,必须及时完善相关的法律法规,放开资本市场并且引进外国基金人才,设立私募股权基金监管机构等,以便于充分发挥私募股权基金良好的经济效应。

保险保障基金对中国保险业产业组织的影响

本文运用中国12家寿险公司和16家财险公司近10年来的面板数据,基于新产业组织理论,考察保险产业组织的运行规律及保险保障基金提取额对保险业产业组织的影响。估计结果显示:寿险业和财险业普遍存在过度竞争,竞争侵蚀绩效;无论是财险业还是寿险业,保险保障基金提取额对竞争活动的积极程度和市场份额具有正向影响,而与保险公司的经营绩效负相关;引入虚拟变量考察保险保障基金制度从隐性制度向显性制度变迁的经济效应发现,显性制度有利于抑制道德风险,使大多数保险公司规范自身竞争行为,扩张市场份额并提高绩效水平。     

The causal structure of bond yields

This paper implements an emerging data-driven method of directed acyclic graphs to study the contemporaneous causal structure among the federal funds rate and U.S. Treasury bond yields of various maturities. Using high frequency daily data from 1994 to 2009, we find that innovations in the two-year Treasury bond yield play a central role. They contemporaneously cause most other bond yields. Therefore, monetary policy makers would benefit from closely monitoring the two-year yield in setting the interest rate target, a result echoing the policy rule suggested by Piazzesi (Journal of Political Economy, 2005). Both Fed and investors should also watch the seven-year bond yield because it explains significant portions of variability in many other yields.

The determinants of corporate bond yields

Previous studies have found that common factors explain a high proportion of corporate bond yields. In this paper, we test whether there is a systematic risk premium beyond that implied by a risk-neutral term structure model. We propose a reduced-form term structure model that incorporates both default and tax effects. After controlling the effects of personal taxes and default risk, empirical tests show that at least two of the Fama–French factors are important for corporate bond yields. Our results suggest that term structure models should incorporate aggregate common risk factors in order to better explain the dynamics of corporate bond yields.

The modified golden rule of a multi-sector economy

We consider an n-good model of optimal accumulation determined by a technology, a utility function, and a discount factor. A technology is δ-productive if it contains an input-output pair such that the discounted output vector strictly dominates the input vector. We show that a δ-productive technology has a non-trivial modified golden rule. We also report a counter- example of David Starrett showing that the modified golden rule need not have turnpike properties, and that there may exist non-trivial periodic optimal consumption plans even when there is no non-trivial modified golden rule.
