Corporate Capital Budgeting Decisions and Information Sharing

Firms must overcome agency and information asymmetry problems to make efficient corporate capital budgeting decisions; this is particularly true for firms with multiple units dispersed across geographic locations. Internal communication and coordination may therefore be crucial in reducing information asymmetry and achieving efficient resource allocation. We examine the relationship between corporate capital budgeting decisions and the degree of internal information sharing using a dataset of 342 U.S. firms from 1993 to 2002. Information sharing is measured by the internal linkages observed in firms’ research and development activities worldwide. The efficiency of a firm's capital budgeting decisions is measured by the deviation of the firm's estimated marginal q from the theoretical tax‐adjusted benchmark. We observe a significant relationship between value‐enhancing capital budgeting decisions and stronger internal linkages. Specifically, corporate overinvestment is significantly reduced with better information sharing across units. All results are robust to firm‐ and industry‐level controls.     

The design of capital budgeting processes and the corporate context

This study investigates how differences in the degree of capital budgeting sophistication and formalization are related to the corporate context. A model was developed and the expectations in the model were explored with data gathered from 146 major UK firms. The results generally support the model and show that the investment procedures and techniques adopted by firms may be partly explained in terms of the corporate context.

基于企业资源观的分析框架,从促进企业竞争优势的稀缺战略资源特性出发,构建了智力资本贡献于企业战略绩效的关系模型。采用上市公司2006-2008年的相关数据,对智力资本与企业战略绩效之间的相关性进行了实证研究。研究结果显示物质资本与企业战略绩效显著正相关,人力资本对企业具有积极的价值创造作用,结构资本与企业战略绩效呈一定程度的正相关关系。     

管理层股权设置与上市公司绩效的实证研究

本文运用非线性相关分析方法,检验了管理层股权设置(MSR)与公司经营绩效(ROE,Tobin‘sQ)之间的关系。结果表明,两者存在显著的非线性关系。通过系数矩阵的正负统计分析发现,国外学者提出的“利益趋同效应“和“掘壕自守效应“在我国上市公司中同样存在。同时还发现,公司的经营业绩与高管人员的持股比例存在区间效应。实证结果在否定税盾假设、企业成长假设、资产性质相关性假设的同时,肯定规模相关假设。     

营运资本管理与企业绩效关系实证研究

本文研究了营运资本政策与经营绩效的关系,通过对中国零售业、制造业（以家电业为例）、建筑业中的上市公司分不同行业进行实证分析和检验,发现：流动资产、流动负债所占比例与企业绩效的关系分行业有所不同;企业的流动资产周转率与企业绩效的相关性大小,主要取决于总资产周转率封企业业绩的作用大小以及流动资产占总资产的比重;营运资本政策对总资产主营业务利润率的影响较显着;营运资本政策越激进企业绩效也越好。但也有一些例外行业。不同行业的企业所选营运资本政策存在显着的差异性。     

公司战略选择对预算编制松弛的影响——基于A股上市公司2008—2010年数据

以战略管理理论和权变理论为理论基础,选取我国2008-2010年深沪市A股上市公司为样本,对上市公司战略选择与预算编制松弛之间的关系进行初步探讨,研究发现:我国上市公司不仅普遍存在预算编制松弛的现象,而且预算编制松弛程度比较严重,预算可靠性较低;权变理论比代理理论更能有效地解释公司预算编制松弛现象,战略管理理论对预算编制松弛程度的影响有限;公司实施差异化战略程度与预算编制松弛程度显著负相关,国际化战略程度与预算编制松弛程度显著正相关.     

融资结构与资本预算方法选择

传统的资本预算方法因没有考虑负债对企业的影响,权衡理论认为负债会给企业带来节税收益,降低股东与经理之间的代理成本,同时也会给企业带来财务困境成本和股东与债权人之间的代理成本。修正现值法、权益现金流量法和加权平均资本成本法,是西方主流反映负债融资对投资项目价值正负效应杠杆企业的资本预算方法。本文对此进行了探讨。     

Utilize structural equation modeling (SEM) to explore the influence of corporate environmental ethics: the mediation effect of green human capital

This study utilizes structural equation modeling (SEM) to explore the positive effects of corporate environmental ethics on green relationship learning and green innovation performance in the Taiwanese manufacturing industry. In addition, this study explores the concept of green human capital and discusses its mediation effect on the positive relationships between corporate environmental ethics and the two consequents: green relationship learning and green innovation performance. The empirical results show that corporate environmental ethics positively affects green relationship learning and green innovation performance. Furthermore, this study verifies green human capital mediates the positive relationships between corporate environmental ethics and the two consequents: green relationship learning and green innovation performance. Finally, this study divides the Taiwanese manufacturing companies into several different groups, and provides some suggestions to them.     

控股股东所有制性质变更对公司业绩的影响——基于中国上市公司的实证研究

利用我国上市公司截面数据,研究了控股股东所有制性质的改变对上市公司业绩的影响,结果发现,第一,总体上,控股股东所有制性质在国家股、国有法人股以及私有股之间的变更对公司业绩没有显著性影响。第二,同控股股东的国家股或私有股性质相比,控股股东变更为国有法人股更可能改善公司业绩。所谓"国有资本所有者缺位"主要体现在国家股所有者缺位。第三,控股股东的私有性质对公司业绩没有显著影响,这可能是私有控股股东隐瞒利润的结果。     

关系型社会资本如何影响企业创新绩效——基于知识转移的路径解析

企业的创新绩效受到企业在网络中的关系型社会资本的制约,这一研究正逐渐受到学者的关注,但相关研究中关系型社会资本对企业创新绩效影响的路径探索往往并不深入。基于此,从信任、沟通、冲突管理三个维度测度企业的关系型社会资本,考察了其对企业创新绩效的影响模式,以及知识转移在此作用中的中介效应。结果显示:关系型社会资本的三个维度均对创新绩效有显著的促进作用,其中有效沟通的作用效果更明显,同时知识转移在该关系中发挥了部分中介效应。研究建议指出,企业应注重构建经济型与政企型社会关系网络,加强关系型社会资本的构建与维护,尤其要注重通过促进企业间的沟通有效性来提升企业间的知识转移效果及创新绩效。

Closed-form solutions to stochastic process switching problems

This paper studies the price of an asset depending on both a fundamental and possible interventions of an authority. Using the martingale approach in continuous time, we provide closed-form solutions to switching problems involving irreversible, state dependent and intramarginal switch policies. The martingale approach provides additional information regarding the switching policy, namely the average time before authority intervention, the conditional probability of intervention, or the total time of intervention. Applications in international and financial economics include exchange rates modelling, corporate claims valuation and capital budgeting decisions.

Diversification patterns and long-term corporate performance

This study examines the relationship between diversification patterns of corporations and their long-term performance. It is seen that the standard performance measures suggested in corporate finance literature rate all corporations equally in the long run regardless of their diversification strategies. This is because all corporations tend to earn a normal rate of return, given risk, for their shareholders in generally efficient capital markets. Since finance performance measures are not helpful in analyzing corporate performance, use of other measures is suggested for the purpose.

西方资本结构理论的新发展:一个理论综述

资本结构理论是现代公司财务理论研究中十分重要的部分。西方资本结构理论研究的目的在于从理论上解释决定企业资本结构的主要因素,揭示企业资本结构与企业市场价值及企业财务行为的内在关系,为企业投融资决策提供理论基础。从20世纪70年代开始,以产权理论、代理理论、信息不对称理论及产业组织理论为核心的新资本结构理论,突破了MM定理研究框架的束缚,开拓了资本结构理论研究的一个更为广阔的领域。本文对自20世纪70年代中期以来西方资本结构理论的新发展作一综述,以期为转轨时期的我国公司的投融资决策提供一些有益的启示和借鉴。     

Donating Money to Get Money: The Role of Corporate Philanthropy in Stakeholder Reactions to IPOs

This study examines how stakeholders' investment time horizons interact with information about corporate giving in initial public offering (IPO) firms. Specifically, we build a model that explains how corporate philanthropy affects IPO performance. We find that at the IPO‐preparation stage, corporate giving is negatively related to underwriter prestige, venture capital investment, and IPO financing costs. We also find that at the IPO‐issuance stage, negative media coverage of IPOs moderates the U‐shaped relationship between corporate giving and market premiums. At the IPO‐trading stage, we find that corporate giving only positively influences the market premiums for IPO firms that are the subject of negative media reports. Our findings contribute to the signalling theory by showing how various stakeholders interpret the same signals differently, and they have implications for understanding how the relationship between corporate philanthropy and corporate financial performance materializes in the IPO markets.
