更正

随着国家农村金融改革的深入，特别是农行股改“面向三农，定位县域”的市场定位的确立，以及村镇互助社成立、农发行开发性业务拓展、农信社改革深入和邮政储蓄小额质押贷款试点，玉树农村金融市场出现了“同分一杯羹”的局面。而如何在“面向三农”的市场定位下保持可持续经营能力，既执行国家“服务三农”的政策，又体现商业贷款的市场价值，实现政府、银行、企业共赢，则是所有银行家面临的最大难题。[第一段]     

金融改革要充分考虑地区差异

随着国家农村金融改革的深入,特别是农行股改"面向三农,定位县域"的市场定位的确立,以及村镇互助社成立、农发行开发性业务拓展、农信社改革深入和邮政储蓄小额质押贷款试点,玉树农村金融市场出现了"同分一杯羹"的局面。而如何在"面向三农"的市场定位下保持可持续经营能力,既执行国家"服务三农"的政策,又体现商业贷款的市     

服务“三农”与县域支行经营活力建设——对滁州县域农行发展路径的探讨

按照“面向三农、整体改制、商业运作、择机上市”的股改原则,农总行做出了建立城乡双层经营体系的战略部署,为此,在全国八个省（市、区）进行了金融服务“三农”试点工作,其目的是从“三农”和县域业务的内在运行规律出发,再造一整套面向“三农”的制度体系和运行机制。本人认为制度体系和运行机制的再造,其核心要凸显县域支行经营活力建设。现就滁州县域农行经营活力建设提点拙见。

混合式事业部制与农行县域业务管理

刚刚结束的第三次全国金融工作会议指出,在农行实施股份制改革的过程中,要强化为“三农”服务的市场定位和责任,实行整体改制,充分利用在县域的资金、网络和专业等方面的优势,更好地为“三农”和县域经济服务。可以说,全国金融工作会议为此前倍受关注的农行股改指明了方向,但由此也产了一个全新的课题,即如何在统一法人的整体架构内,兼顾城市与农村业务,防范经营风险,提高经营效益,切实有效的履行好为“三农”和县域经济服务的职责。     

金融快报

温家宝：重点推进农行股改和国开行改革。国务院总理温家宝日前在十一届全国人大一次会议上作政府上作报告时说，要加快金融体制改革，加强金融监管。继续深化银行业改革，重点推进农行股份制改革和国开行改革。建立存款保险制度。加快农村金融改革，强化农行、农发行和邮储银行为“三农”服务的功能，继续深化农村信用社改革，积极推进新型的农村金融机构发展。     

农行服务县域应找准着力点

当前,农业银行正按照国务院提出的股改要求,加大“面向三农”工作力度。根据县域经济实际,结合商业银行的经营原则,农行服务县域经济的着力点应该放在以下几个方面：一是重点支持县域农业产业化龙头企业、重点骨干企业发展,支持产业链经济发展。二是认真开展中小企业贷款试点,创新信贷产品,支持中小企业发展壮大。     

县域农行服务“三农”效益实证研究

面向“三农”是农业银行的市场定位。如何遵循农行股改原则,兼顾好面向“三农”与商业运作之间的关系,从而达到持续服务“三农”的效果是摆在我们面前的现实课题。本文从县域农行如何有效服务“三农”的角度对该行服务“三农”工作避行了实地调研,力图揭示服务“三农”与经营效益的内在联系,坚定县域农行服务“三农”工作的信心,推进“三农”金融服务工作全面纵深开展。     

贷款定价：撬动“股改”与“支农”的支点——关于县域农行“三农”金融及风险定价问题的调研报告

立足县域、面向"三农"是农行推进股改、实施分层经营的重要战略和政策要求。本文通过调查认为,"三农"贷款不是不可为,而是要创新"为"的方式;县域市场不是低效,而是找准有效市场切入点。而按照风险定价要求,提高贷款定价来覆盖县域经营信贷风险,是破解"服务三农"和"商业运作"难题,实现县域经营可持续发展的重要途径。     

活基层 强基础 切实发挥农行县域金融引领作用——以农行松滋市支行为例

近年来,随着品质经营主题不断深入,农行在县域市场的竞争力有所提升,如何深入落实“面向三农”的市场定位,发挥好农行在县域农村金融中的示范引领作用,本文以农行松滋支行为例进行了分析研究。     

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.     

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.     

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.
