融资契约的代理成本与融资政策建议

代理理论重点研究的问题是代理成本,包括契约签订的缔约成本、代理人的担保成本和“剩余损失”以及委托人的监控成本等。本文着重研究企业融资契约根据股权融资契约和债务融资契约的不同委托代理关系,分析其代理成本产生的根本原因,并且分别提出相应的融资政策选择建议。     

全球基础设施投资基金研究：投资者偏好和委托代理问题

基于2005年1月至2019年6月间公开发售的2246支来自全球的基建基金数据,本文研究基建基金投资者偏好和委托代理问题。研究结果表明:投资者偏好客户忠诚度较高、投资于国际市场、团队管理型的基建基金;在基建基金公司层面,投资者存在跟风投资行为,且随着信息不透明度和收益不确定性加剧;投资者与基金管理人存在委托代理问题,体现为基金费率与预期业绩不匹配。该现象源于基金管理人利用投资者较高的预期收益设置费率,可以由基金特征因素和年份效应解释,尤其是投资于国际市场、收益分配或非团队管理等特征。本文结论对创新基础设施融资模式、稳定资金来源和微观审慎监管具有重要借鉴意义。

中国企业社会责任成本支出研究

企业如何在保持各项业务稳健发展的同时,积极承担社会责任并促进社会和谐发展这一问题日益成为理论和实务工作者的关注焦点。本文将以成本支出为主线索,借助于调查问卷数据分析,剖析中国企业承担社会责任状况,并就如何科学计量社会责任成本,规范企业社会责任成本信息披露,构建关键社会责任成本指标体系等问题提出相应的研究观点。     

企业社会责任与债务融资成本的关系研究

随着社会主义市场经济体制的不断完善，企业作为一种活动于社会中的经济组织，不仅要对股东承担法律责任，同时还逐渐承担着履行社会责任的义务。另一方面，融资难问题作为一直以来大多数企业的发展瓶颈，严重阻碍着企业的发展进程。因此，如何有效减少债务融资成本，实现企业的有效融资已经成为摆在各企业面前的一道重要课题。本文就企业社会责任与债务融资成本之间的关系进行了研究，并就其关系得到了启示，提出了相关建议，希望能够给实际工作起到一定的指导作用。

降低债权融资契约代理成本的融资政策选择

从代理理论的视角看，企业是一系列契约关系的连接点，委托代理关系的存在就会产生一定的代理成本。由于股权融资契约和债权融资契约形成的委托代理关系不同，两种融资契约产生的代理成本必然不同。本就债权融资契约产生代理成本的方式及其降低的融资政策选择进行分析，以期为降低我国企业债权融资契约的代理成本提供理论借鉴。     

Socially responsible investment fund performance: the impact of screening intensity

Perhaps the most common criticism of socially responsible investment funds is that imposing non‐financial screens restricts investment opportunities, reduces diversification efficiencies and thereby adversely impacts performance. In this study we investigate this proposition and test whether the number of screens employed has a linear or curvilinear relation with return. Moreover, we analyse the link between screening intensity and risk. Screening intensity has no effect on unadjusted (raw) returns or idiosyncratic risk. However, we find a significant reduction in α of 70 basis points per screen using the Carhart performance model. Increased screening results in lower systematic risk – in line with managers choosing lower β stocks to minimize overall risk.     

Socially Responsible Fixed-Income Funds

Abstract:  The growing importance of SRI in the investment arena has resulted in considerable academic interest in the performance of socially responsible equity mutual funds. Remarkably, no attempts have been made to evaluate the performance of mutual funds that invest in socially responsible fixed-income securities. This study fills that gap by measuring the performance of socially responsible bond and balanced funds relative to matched samples of conventional funds, over the period 1987–2003. Using multi-index performance evaluation models, we show that the average SRI bond fund performed similar to conventional funds, while the average SRI balanced fund outperformed its conventional peers by more than 1.3% per year. The expenses charged by SRI funds, match those charged by conventional funds and, evidently, do not cause SRI funds to underperform.     

社会责任投资与公司价值相关性理论探索

社会责任投资的产生和发展与全球社会可持续发展策略密不可分,也是投资从简单追求股东利益最大化向追求满足利益相关者权利转变的实践体现。社会责任投资者通过各种股东行动去影响控股股东或经营管理层的行为,将社会责任投资者的社会价值观灌输、实现到企业行为中去,推动企业在履行社会责任过程中充分考虑利益相关者利益,利益相关者又因此对企业的生存和发展注入专用性投资并分担一定的企业经营风险。同时,企业践行社会责任会降低融资成本和经营风险。长期而言,公司社会责任价值将得到持续提升。     

养老基金的社会责任投资

社会责任投资(SR I)作为一种全新的投资理念,将社会、环境、人权等因素纳入融资标准。在倡导可持续性发展的今天,面对金融市场的种种不确定性因素,将这一理念引入到养老基金的投资决策中,无论从理论或实践的角度,都具有深远意义。本文从基本概念入手,考察了社会责任投资的发展轨迹,并从理论角度对其先进性和有效性进行探讨,进而分析了将SR I引入到养老基金投资中的可行性,最后结合国际经验和我国现实,提出了中国养老基金社会责任投资的政策建议。     

The “Best Corporate Citizens”: Are They Good for Their Shareholders?

Since 2000, Business Ethics magazine has published a list of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens. Our event study finds significant positive abnormal returns for new companies added to the annual listing on the press release date of the survey, both initially and in subsequent survey releases. Over longer holding periods, the top 100 companies consistently outperform the S&P 500, yet are not significantly different from a matched set of companies, with the exception of the initial survey year (2000). However, a rebalancing strategy based on new additions outperforms both the S&P 500 and a matched portfolio.     

The Disclosure Practices of Islamic Equity Funds

We investigate the disclosure practices of screening and compliance information of Islamic equity funds around the world. Disclosures on Sharia advisors and screening information are quite high, but they are lower for compliance information such as Sharia advisory report (SAR) and holdings data. The results show that younger funds with better Sharia advisory board (SAB) governance which are domiciled in countries belonging to an Islamic international standard-setter body have the highest disclosure levels. However, funds domiciled in countries with a central SAB and following common law disclose less Sharia-related information. These findings are important for the effectiveness of disclosure framework.     

基于自由现金流代理成本假说的投资行为研究

基于自由现金流代理成本假说，本文利用我国上市公司（A股）制造业1998-2003年数据对上市公司投资行为进行实证研究。研究结果表明，（1）经理持股比例越低，代理问题越严重，投资现金流相关性越高。（2）企业融资约束程度越轻，代理问题越严重，投资现金流相关性越高，经理越容易建造“企业帝国”。具体表现为：国家股比例越高，投资现金流相关性越高；净资产税后利润率越高，投资现金流相关性越高；企业规模越大，投资现金流相关性越高。建立有效的公司治理机制可以解决有关代理问题。     

Do Socially Responsible Index Investors Incur an Opportunity Cost?

We construct index‐tracking portfolios using integer programming and then compare the tracking errors and performances of portfolios formed from an unrestricted and socially screened stock universe. We find that one can construct a portfolio of socially responsible stocks that deliver market performance. Thus, the exclusion of a set of stocks from consideration does not exhaust the existence of efficient index‐tracking portfolios, especially when the exclusionary screen is for nonfinancial reasons. Our results are robust to various specifications in constructing the portfolio, for example, number of stocks included in the portfolio and weighting schemes, and robust to alternative tracking error measurement; we show that the difference induced from conducting socially responsible screen is never statistically significant.
