Relationship Banking and the Pricing of Financial Services

We investigate pricing effects of the joint production of loans and security underwritings. We control for firm and borrower characteristics, including differences in sequencing, which are important for pricing. Contrary to previous studies, when banks combine lending and underwriting within the same customer relationship they charge premiums for both loans and underwriting services. Abstracting from effects of joint production within relationships, depository banks engaged in underwriting price lending and underwriting more cheaply than stand alone investment banks. One advantage borrowers enjoy from bundling products within a banking relationship is a form of liquidity risk insurance, which is manifested in a reduced demand for lines of credit. We also find evidence of a “road show” effect; firms enjoy loan pricing discounts on loans that are negotiated at times close to the debt underwritings, whether or not the same bank provides both services. Relationship effects are only visible when lending and underwriting both occur, and are stronger for equity-loan relationships than for debt-loan relationships.

推进我国农村金融产业组织创新的战略思考

社会主义新农村建设的顺利推进,"三农"问题的最终解决,有赖于农村金融的大力支持.然而,我国农村金融的组织结构与服务体系并不能够适应农村经济发展的需要,农村金融的组织与操作层面仍然存在十分严重的问题.基于此,本文认为当前农村金融改革应当走出误区,树立产业金融意识,按产业发展规律推进农村金融产业组织创新,带动农村金融服务体系的逐步完善,从而实现农村金融与农村经济的协调发展.     

Banking competition and economic growth: cross-country evidence

The aim of this paper is to analyse the effect of banking competition on industry economic growth using both structural measures of competition and measures based on the new empirical industrial organisation perspective. The evidence obtained in the period 1993–2003 for a sample of 53 sectors in 21 countries indicates that financial development promotes economic growth. The results also show that bank monopoly power has an inverted-U-shaped effect on economic growth, suggesting that bank market power has its highest growth effect at intermediate values. The latter result is consistent with the literature on relationship lending, which argues that bank competition can have a negative effect on the availability of finance for companies that are informationally more opaque.     

金融结构、银行业结构与产业结构调整

本文基于广东省的实践,分别考察了广东省金融结构、银行结构与产业结构调整的互动关系。运用2006-2011年广东省各市的面板数据,实证分析了广东省金融结构对产业结构调整影响,发现广东省银行业的发展对产业结构调整有明显的正向促进作用,而股票市场的发展对产业结构调整有一定的负向影响。这表明行业的发展在广东的经济发展中发挥着不可替代的作用,而股票市场由于不完善及多种非经济因素的影响,对产业结构调整产生了一定的阻碍作用。在此基础上运用1980-2011年广东省时间序列数据进一步分析了银行业结构与产业结构之间关系,结果表明广东省银行集中度的提高对产业结构调整有长期的负向影响。因此,必须提高银行业的竞争,逐步降低四大国有商业银行的垄断地位,同时加强股票市场的完善。     

How Offshore Financial Competition Disciplines Exit Resistance by Incentive-Conflicted Bank Regulators

This paper studies the impact of technological change and regulatory competition on governmental efforts to generate rents for banks in two stylized regulatory environments. In the first environment, incentive-conflicted regulators attempt to create rents by restricting the size and scope of individual banking organizations. In the second, rents come from efforts to supply deposit guarantees to troubled banks. In both cases, innovations in financial technology and in competing domestic and offshore regulatory arrangements make the costs of delivering rents to banks more transparent to taxpayers and encourage customers to push rent-dependent banking systems into crisis. This analysis portrays the banking crises that have roiled world markets in recent years as information-producing events that identify and discredit inefficient strategies of regulating banking markets.

银行业国际化进程及其对发展中国家金融市场的影响

在世界经济全球化和金融自由化背景下,银行业国际化进程不断加快,对世界经济产生了深远的影响,以此为线索,本文重点分析了现代银行业国际化的形成、特点及其对发展中国家金融市场的影响,认为全球真正意义上的银行业国际化开始于20世纪50年代末,欧洲和美国的经济背景、欧洲美元市场的兴起、金融创新和金融自由化等因素推动其发展.随着银行业国际化规模不断扩大、国际化步伐不断加快、绩效日趋改善,其对发展中国家银行业效率系统的稳定、货币市场、外汇市场和资本市场等方面的影响加大.     

The Strategic Implications of Asset and Liability Allocation in the Turkish Banking Industry

This study aims to analyze whether banks' deviation from the mainstream in terms of asset and liability allocation enables them to perform better than their competition. Overall, deviation in the liability structure seems to have a significant impact on performance. In a second regression, the results obtained from the analysis of liability allocation are further examined by focusing on the effects of the deposit base on bank performance. Our analysis brings out the significance of liability allocation and of the effect of deposit strategies as a primary source of funding. The major difference of this study from the existing literature is that we focus primarily on both asset and liability allocation strategies of banks, and we further analyze the components of the liability structure to evaluate the impact of liability deviation on the banking strategy.

Consolidation and Competition in the Banking Industries of the EU Member and Candidate Countries

This paper investigates competitive conditions in the banking markets of all EU member and candidate countries over the period 1995-2007. The Panzar and Rosse (1987) model is implemented on bank-level data. In particular, the unscaled revenue equation is employed to assess market structure. Country-specific empirical results suggest a wide variation in the competitive conditions of the banking systems in the sampled countries. Nineteen banking systems are characterized as monopolistically competitive, nine as monopolies or perfectly colluding oligopolies, and two as perfectly competitive over the sample period. This study also investigates whether competition conditions changed over the sample period, using 2001 as an endogenously determined break year. The empirical evidence reveals that banking systems became less competitive after that time.     

银行业危机:金融泡沫视角的分析

自20世纪80年代以来,银行业危机爆发越显频繁。然而,通过对银行业危机内部形成机理分析可以发现,银行业危机的爆发其实是伴随着金融泡沫的形成与破灭这一过程的。在金融泡沫的形成过程中,银行往往会给一些高风险行业发放贷款,从而增加银行经营风险;而在金融泡沫破灭之后,这将直接或间接地导致银行产生大量的不良贷款,从而使银行业危机最终爆发。因此,我国应尽快化解国有商业银行的不良资产;完善银行微观治理结构;建立和完善金融监管机制。

中国工商银行成功上市之后,全面推进国际化经营,建设国际一流现代金融企业成为工商银行面临的主要挑战和任务之一.根据工商银行国际化经营的中期目标,在加紧对亚太新兴市场进行网络布局的同时,工商银行有必要进一步巩固和完善在欧盟特别是欧元区银行业和金融市场的业务发展,因此本文选择欧元区为研究对象,对其近年来经济增长、银行业最新发展趋势以及区内各国银行业市场准入政策进行了深入分析,并从地域扩展、业务拓展、目标客户、产品创新和投资五个方面提出了工商银行巩固在欧元区发展的未来发展战略,以期为工商银行制定和推进欧元区业务拓展战略提供有益参考.     

银行综合经营财务效应实证研究

本轮金融危机后,美国沃克尔法则的提出引发了金融界强烈的争议,对银行综合经营问题的探讨具有了新的时代意义。本文采用美国资产10亿美元以上的约70家一级银行控股公司2000年到2009年的季度财务数据,对综合经营实际财务效应进行了实证研究,验证了银行综合经营对于银行控股公司资本利润率的增长的确存在正面的影响,但这种影响可能被银行非利息收入占比提高的负面影响抵销。     

Financial Turbulence and the Japanese Main Bank Relationship

Under the Japanese main bank relationship, a bank holds equity in a firm and plays a leading role in its decision-making and financing. This may leave a firm dependent on its main bank for financing due to its information advantage over other potential lenders. This dependency may be particularly severe during episodes of financial turbulence. We examine the sensitivity of returns on portfolios of Japanese firm equity to the returns of their main banks using a three-factor arbitrage-pricing model. We find no significant dependence when coefficient values are held constant over the entire sample. However, the data strongly suggest a structural break in the relationship subsequent to the last quarter of 1997, a turbulent period for Japanese financial markets. When a structural break is introduced, main bank sensitivity increases after the break, usually to significantly positive levels.     

A Time Series Analysis of Financial Fragility in the UK Banking System

This paper extends the model proposed by Goodhart, Sunirand, and Tsomocos (2004, 2005, 2006) to an infinite horizon setting. Thus, we are able to assess how the model conforms with the time series data of the UK banking system. We conclude that, since the model performs satisfactorily, it can be readily used to assess financial fragility given its flexibility, computability, and the presence of multiple contagion channels and heterogeneous banks and investors.

银行业结构对产业结构升级的影响研究——基于最优金融结构理论与门槛模型的分析

基于"最优金融结构"理论,利用我国2004—2017年31个省区市的省级非平衡面板数据,实证检验了银行结构对产业结构升级的影响。结果表明:中小银行占比的增加对我国产业结构升级具有显著促进作用,且该作用在东中西部地区存在明显差异,东部地区中小银行占比增加对产业结构升级的影响并不显著,而中西部地区则具有显著的促进作用。在此基础上,运用面板门槛模型对区域差异性的影响因素进行分析,研究发现,在外商投资水平、财政收入水平、市场化水平、自然资源水平以及人力资源水平因素的不同门槛值区间内,中小银行占比增加对产业结构升级的影响具有程度和方向上的显著差异。     

外资银行进入对我国银行业市场竞争度的影响：基于Panzar-Rosse模型的实证研究

本文采用Panzar-Rosse模型度量了1996年至2006年间我国银行业的市场竞争度,并对外资银行进入程度与市场竞争度的关系进行了经验分析,结果表明,近十年间我国银行业呈现垄断竞争格局,且竞争压力呈上升趋势,这主要归因于银行业市场集中度的下降。外资银行进入程度与银行业市场竞争度呈现U型关系,当前外资银行带来的实际竞争压力还很有限,只有当外资银行进入程度达到并超过一定水平时,才会对我国银行业的市场竞争发挥促进作用。
