金融支持农业产业化发展中存在的问题亟待解决

2014年,黑龙江省全面推进＂两大平原＂现代农业综合配套改革试验,改革方案从11个方面进行细化分解,加快构建现代农业产业体系成为首要任务。为了解金融支持＂两大平原＂地区农业产业化的情况,笔者以双鸭山市为例进行了典型调查,调查显示：近年来,随着农村土地流转速度和规模不断加大,农民专业合作数量快速增长,农业产业化龙头企业与农民专业合作社、农户结成伙伴关系的逐步建立,农业产业化进程不断加快,但金融支持农业产业化发展中仍存在着一些问题亟待解决。     

支持新型农业经营主体的建议

在传统农业向现代农业转型中应运而生的新型农业经营主体,是推进现代化农业发展的重要生力军。为实现金融有效支持新型农业经营主体,建议应加强做好以下工作：一要加强顶层设计,拓展支农资金来源。完善信贷机制,优化支农再贷款机制、发行专项用于＂三农＂的金融债补充资金,通过涉农资产开展证券化试点,盘活资金。时机成熟时为＂三农＂发展引入保险、信托、期货等多种现代金融元素,激发出＂聚合效应＂。

《国务院关于加快发展现代保险服务业的若干意见》（以下简称＂新国十条＂）中的第五条指出＂大力发展‘三农’保险,创新支农惠农方式＂,对农业保险支持＂三农＂发展提出了明确要求。作为全国第一家专业性农业保险公司,安信农业保险股份有限公司（以下简称＂安信农险＂）将围绕现代农业发展、新农村建设、农民增收等问题,深入贯彻落实＂新国十条＂,努力开拓创新,主要从以下七个方面开展工作。     

现代农业试验区建设金融需求与供给情况调查报告——以通河县为例

黑龙江省＂两大平原＂是世界仅有的三大黑土平原之一。农业资源富集,是我国重要的粮食生产基地,2014年5月6日中国人民银行会同国家五部委联合出台了《黑龙江省＂两大平原＂现代农业综合配套改革试验金融改革方案》,批准在＂两大平原＂地区率先建立＂机构完善、结构优化、适度竞争、创新高效＂的现代农村金融组织体系,建成现代农业与现代金融协调发展的核心示范区,通河县作为“两火平原”地区优质水稻生产带和绿色食品的重点基地之一,如何加快农村金融改革创新,提升金融服务“两大平原”现代农业发展的覆盖面和渗透率,为此,本文通过调查提出相应的对策建议。     

政策贷款与小额信贷：中国农村金融的发展方向

现代农业包括大田农业和精细农业,农村金融的活力来自于现代农业对融资的需求.与大田农业和精细农业不同,传统农业对融资的需求是非生产性的,农村金融不可能在传统农业的基础上发展和壮大起来.中国农村金融改革踌躇不前,虽然与中国农业以传统农业为主有关.但最主要的原因还是中国农业的发展方向不明.大田农业和精细农业是中国农业现代化的基本内容,它决定了中国农村金融的发展必须以政策贷款和小额信贷为主.     

对金融支持“两大平原”综合配套改革情况的调查——以牡丹江市为例

'More a national asset than an investor's paradise': financial management and the British Motor Corporation, 1952-68

This paper undertakes a comparative analysis of financial management in the British motor industry in the 1950s and 1960s. We question whether US ownership automatically implied greater financial control and immunity from capital market pressures and discuss whether the problems BMC/BMH (British Motor Corporation/British Motor Holdings) experienced were symptomatic of the absence of financial imperatives among British management at this time. Finally we widen the agenda to place our findings on financial management into a wider literature dealing more generally with the problems of managerial control and corporate governance within the motor vehicle industry in the 1950s and 1960s.

Analysing the Statement of Cashflows

Australian public companies have been required to report a statement of cashflows since 30 June 1992. Since then, little has been written on the usefulness of the cashflow statement. This paper suggests some cashflow ratios and explores the usefulness of the statement through a financial analysis of Brash Holdings Ltd. The paper particularly emphasises cashflow ratios derived wholly from the statement of cashflows and suggests that ratios derived in this way are a useful analysis tool. The application to Brash Holdings also serves as a useful pedagogic instrument for financial analysis using cashflow and accrual information.     

Relative performance evaluation in board cash compensation: UK empirical evidence

This paper presents an empirical examination of whether evidence of the implicit use of relative performance evaluation (RPE) can be found in the cash compensation of boards of directors for 169 UK non-financial listed companies that existed for all of the period from 1971 to 1998. We perform two types of analyses. Initially, we estimate individual firm time series regressions of the change in board cash compensation against measures of firm and peer group performance. The measures of firm performance we use are annual cash stock market returns and pre-tax accounting earnings. Peer group measures of performance are industry value-weighted average cash stock market returns and industry value-weighted average pre-tax accounting earnings. Subsequently, we analyse the data as a balanced panel.We provide evidence that board cash compensation is positively related to accounting earnings and negatively associated with peer group pre-tax accounting earnings. Some evidence suggests that board cash compensation is related to firm stock market returns but none suggests it is related to peer group market returns. This result implies the presence of RPE based on accounting earnings in the design of UK board compensation, with the cash compensation of boards of directors implicitly (partially) protected from industry uncertainties.

关于建立中国农业保险政策支持体系的思考

农业是国民经济的基础性产业,也是带有风险性的弱质产业,它发展的优劣直接制约着国民经济的发展。中国是农业灾害发生最为严重的国家之一,而农业保险是农业风险重要的控制方式,农业保险作为一项风险转嫁、损失分摊的经济补偿制度,己成为国际上主要的非价格农业保护工具之一,对保证农业生产的持续稳定发展有着十分重要的意义。面对国内外农业保险发展的新形势,如何开展政策性农业保险工作,建立一套具有较高保障能力和运转效率的农业保险支持体系,是摆在政府面前的一项重要的任务。     

Stock Market Reactions and Information Transfer Due to Financial Instability in the Life Insurance Industry

ABSTRACT: This study examines the stock market reactions and information transfer effects due to financial instability for four life insurance companies that eventually failed or were taken over by regulators. The four companies were First Executive Corporation, First Capital Holdings Corporation, Monarch Capital Corporation, and Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company. In general, significant negative capital market responses were found after a company released an announcement regarding financial instability. Information transfer effects of a negative announcement by one insurer were not found to have a significant impact on the other insurers. This study complements past studies of contagion effects within the insurance industry.     

构建我国差异化半强制性农业保险制度的探索

The Association between microfinance rating scores and corporate governance: a global survey

The global microfinance industry has experienced high growth rates over the past decades, and the World Bank foresees a future market with billions of customers. However, the industry's continued growth is contingent on its ability to create a governance structure that supports microfinance institutions' long-term performance. Because microfinance institutions' performance is multidimensional and difficult to measure, prior research has not been successful in establishing consistent associations between governance structures and microfinance institutions' performance. We apply microfinance rating scores – a unique innovation of the microfinance industry – as a summary performance metric and find that several governance metrics are related to microfinance performance. Specifically, we find that CEO/Chair duality has a negative relation to rating scores, whereas the number of international board directors, the presence of internal auditors and the level of competition intensity are positively associated with rating scores. These findings should prove useful in an industry in which there is no established ‘best set-up’ for governance mechanisms.     

Recent Development in Recognition of and Assistance to Foreign Insolvency Representatives Under the Hong Kong Common Law

Although Hong Kong has neither enacted nor launched any plan to enact a statute addressing cooperation and assistance on cross‐border insolvency matters, recently, a unique Hong Kong approach dealing with recognition and assistance in cross‐border insolvency is gradually forming under common law. Thanks to the efforts made by the Companies Court of the Hong Kong High Court, insolvency representatives appointed in the place of incorporation of the debtors may, firstly, be accorded a certain degree of automatic recognition and cooperation based on traditional private international law rules without going through a recognition procedure and, secondly, be recognized and granted active assistance under principle of universalism at common law. With regard to the limits of this common law power, the court has referred to but not strictly followed the British Privy Council's decision in Singularis Holdings Limited v. PricewaterhouseCoopers (Singularis) and instead followed the previous approach in Cambridge Gas Transport Corp v. Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (of Navigator Holdings PLC and others) (Cambridge Gas). The Companies Court also attempted to simplify and facilitate the application and grant of this common law recognition and assistance through a series of innovations.
