亚投行风云初起

近期，亚投行无疑是一个热词。未来亚投行将成为对国际经济与金融产生影响的重要机构。中国提出筹建亚洲基础设施投资银行（简称：亚投行）的倡议，许多国家反响积极，围绕着要不要加入亚投行，风云变幻，特别是一些西方大国的态度更是异乎寻常。如何看待围绕着亚投行引发的一些焦点，请看本栏目文章：《亚投行是“一带一路”战略的重要支柱》、《亚投行：人民币“走出去”的新平台》、《入局亚投行，欧洲追逐现实利益》、《亚投行与中美非零和竞争》——编辑手记     

亚投行 如何行

<正>最近,"亚投行"无疑是一个非常热门的话题。有趣的是,"亚投行"新闻刚刚出炉之际并没有受到太大关注。而随着近来英国等西方国家"倒戈"加入,亚投行"朋友圈"迅速扩容,"亚投行"和中国迅速成为世界的焦点。人们不禁要问,"亚投行"到底是什么样的银行?"亚投行"全称是亚洲基础设施投资银行(Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank,缩写AIIB),是一个中国占主导地位,向亚洲国家和地区的基础设施建设提供资金支持的政府间性质的金融投资机     

亚投行是“一带一路”战略的重要支柱

亚投行致力于促进亚洲地区基础设施建设和互联互通,与“一带一路”战略高度契合,如果说“一带一路”是战略目标,那么,亚投行就是战略手段。但亚投行的未来绝不止于“一带一路”战略,其目标更加广阔。     

亚投行的机遇和挑战

亚洲基础设施投资银行(简称亚投行,AIIB)是一个政府间性质的亚洲区域多边开发机构,重点支持基础设施建设。本文首先介绍了亚投行的成立背景,进而重点论述了亚投行成立后我国面临的机遇和挑战。

亚投行姓“商”不姓“政”

<正>事实上,由中国主导成立的亚投行,既不是与美国抗衡的筹码,更不是谋求地区霸权的外交政策工具,而是为亚洲经济发展服务的金融机构。近一段时间,随着美国的一些欧洲盟友纷纷加入亚洲基础设施投资银行(下称"亚投行"),一股亚投行热席卷全球。但美国将亚投行看成是中国与美国抗衡的筹码,以及谋求地区霸权的外交政策工具,而盟友的加入则被其视为"迁就中国"。部分国外媒体也将亚投行的成立视作中美之间的一次博弈,表示这次美国输了,中国赢了。事实上,由中国主导成立的亚投行,既不是与美国抗衡的筹码,更不是谋求地     

要防止亚投行内部分裂

<正>亚投行要想发挥自己的作用,还必须与美国主导的国际金融组织合作,因此,从短期来看,世界金融秩序不会发生根本性的改变。美国总统特使访问中国,旨在讨论美国加入亚洲基础设施投资银行的问题。但是,正如人们所看到的那样,美国总统特使无功而返。之所以会出现这种情况,是因为亚投行的创始会员国已经确立了亚投行的基本规则,如果美国强人所难,试图在亚投行享有支配地位,那么,就意味着亚投行的所有规划必须推倒重来,这是中国所不能答应的,也是其他创始会员国所无法容忍的。     

亚投行如何获得AAA评级——基于超主权信用评级方法的分析

作为由新兴经济体主导的多边开发银行,亚投行能否获得较高信用评级并成功运营,是各方关注的焦点。本文通过研究多边开发银行的超主权评级机制及多边开发银行获得AAA评级的好处,分析了亚投行信用评级的优劣势,以及亚投行获得AAA评级的重要意义。本文认为,亚投行信用评级越高,融资成本越低,长期可持续发展能力越强。目前,亚投行职能定位准确,业务开展具有广阔空间,同时受到中国、印度、欧洲部分国家等股东的大力支持,在信用评级中会有加分效果;但是,作为新成立的多边开发银行,亚投行缺乏运营经验,也没有相应的项目积累,都会对其取得较高评级造成不利影响。对亚投行来说,虽然无法确保可以获得AAA评级,但通过强化优势和改正不足,争取AAA评级的努力却是重要且必要的。     

亚投行为什么这么受欢迎?

<正>3月16日,英国宣布申请加入亚洲基础设施投资银行(亚投行)。英国的决定很快就引起了连锁反应。3月16日,英国宣布申请加入亚洲基础设施投资银行(亚投行)。中国倡导的亚洲基础设施投资银行的建议代表的是一种历史的趋势,从2014年在北京签署亚投行意向的仪式上就略见一斑。亚投行的创立应该说为世界经济中促进发展的机制提供了一种新的参照,构成了对传统的"布雷顿森林体系"的竞争。3月16日,英国宣布申请加入亚洲基础设施投资银行(亚投行)。英国的决定很     

财政部:各方就亚投行章程达成一致

<正>据环球网5月26日报道,5月20日至22日,筹建亚洲基础设施投资银行(以下简称亚投行)第五次谈判代表会议在新加坡举行。会议由筹建亚投行谈判代表会议常设主席、中国财政部副部长史耀斌与新加坡财政部副常务秘书余秉义共同主持,57个亚投行意向创始成员国谈判代表和亚投行多边临时秘书处秘书长金立     

Debt and Taxes and Uncertainty

With a graduated personal tax schedule, Miller showed that there could be an equilibrium debt supply for the corporate sector as a whole. In the presence of uncertainty there is also a unique debt/equity ratio for each individual firm, and this ratio is related to the firm's operational risk characteristics. However, if firms merge and spin off in response to tax incentives, the identity of firms is ambiguous and only the corporate sector is a meaningful construct. These arguments are developed in both discrete and continuous models that employ extensions of the arbitrage-free pricing theory.     

教育与资本怎样的前景怎样的现实

来自政府的声音: "动员各种社会资源,发展教育" 此次论坛上财政部长助理张少春的发言是最受关注的发言之一.他的演讲传达出的信息有这样几方面:第一,谈到现实,他认为全社会对教育的巨大需求与我国公共投入不足已成为我国教育事业发展的突出矛盾.近年来,以公共部门投入为主,多渠道筹措教育经费的教育投入机制成为解决这一问题的重要途径,也使得公共部门与私营部门在教育领域的合作日益密切.第二,谈到前景,他认为,1.中国经济持续、快速的增长对高技能人才产生巨大的需求,这为私营部门的参与提供了广阔空间.2.随着公共财政职能的不断完善,财政资金将在各项教育事业中重新进行分配,进一步优化财政支出结构,提高资金的使用效率.在"十一五"期间,我国将把公共支出的重点转移到农村.我们将逐步把全体农村适龄儿童的义务教育全部纳入公共财政体制.     

Director gender and mergers and acquisitions

Does director gender influence CEO empire building? Does it affect the bid premium paid for target firms? Less overconfident female directors less overestimate merger gains. As a result, firms with female directors are less likely to make acquisitions and if they do, pay lower bid premia. Using acquisition bids by S&P 1500 companies during 1997–2009 we find that each additional female director is associated with 7.6% fewer bids, and each additional female director on a bidder board reduces the bid premium paid by 15.4%. Our findings support the notion that female directors help create shareholder value through their influence on acquisition decisions. We also discuss other possible interpretations of our findings.     

Political corruption and mergers and acquisitions

This research examines the relation between political corruption and mergers and acquisitions (M&As). We find that local corruption increases firm acquisitiveness but decreases firm targetiveness. The levels of corruption in acquirer areas relate positively to the bid premiums and negatively to the likelihood of deal completion. Corruption motivates acquiring firms to use excess cash for payment, which mitigates the negative effect of corruption on acquirer shareholder value. The evidence indicates that acquisitions help acquiring firms convert cash into hard-to-extract assets and relocate assets from the high to low corruption areas, thereby shielding their liquid assets from expropriation by local officials.     

East and west and north and south : A preliminary model

The Brandt report and other proposals for a new North-South world order continue to be the focus of lively debate, yet it is often argued that little concrete has emerged from their recommendations. A major reason for this, the author argues, is that the East-West conflict component is not sufficiently taken into consideration-East-West tensions are a severe constraint on and a determining factor of North-South relations. Using influence diagrams, the author develops a flexible framework for discussion and assessment of N/S-E/W relations.     

Trust and cross-border mergers and acquisitions

A number of studies suggest that social trust matters for investment. Using different measures of trust from World Values Survey, we show that countries where people display higher levels of trust engage in more cross-border M&A activities. When they do, these acquirers pay lower premiums. To the extent that these acquirers also tend to engage in larger acquisitions as well, our findings suggest that a larger selection pool of potential targets and higher value targets enable these acquirers to negotiate for lower premiums. We do not find evidence of the significant effect for target country trust levels. Hence, trust may benefit those acquiring firms in cross-border transactions.     

Tournament-based incentives and mergers and acquisitions

This research examines the relation between tournament-based incentives, which are proxied by the difference between a firm's CEO pay and the median pay of the senior managers, and mergers and acquisitions (M&As). We find that tournament-based incentives are positively related to firm acquisitiveness and acquiring firms' stock and operating performance. Further analysis indicates that positive acquisition performance increases the likelihood of the CEO being promoted from inside the acquiring firm. Our evidence is consistent with the view that tournament-based incentives motivate acquiring firms' managers to make greater efforts and take more risk that result in superior acquisition performance.     

Corporate Innovations and Mergers and Acquisitions

Using a large and unique patent‐merger data set over the period 1984 to 2006, we show that companies with large patent portfolios and low R&D expenses are acquirers, while companies with high R&D expenses and slow growth in patent output are targets. Further, technological overlap between firm pairs has a positive effect on transaction incidence, and this effect is reduced for firm pairs that overlap in product markets. We also show that acquirers with prior technological linkage to their target firms produce more patents afterwards. We conclude that synergies obtained from combining innovation capabilities are important drivers of acquisitions.
