监测出口增速变化 及时采取应对策略——以江苏省为例

江苏省是全国出口大省,而出口是经济增长的重要动力,出口增速的变化备受关注。2008年伊始,江苏省出口增速虽然没有出现大幅下降,但从第一季度的数据看,累计增长19.6%,大大低于2007年同期的32.5%,进口也略低于2007年同期水平。其中,对美国出口已经连续3个月同比负增长。如果观察其周期趋势,运用谷-谷分类法就会发现,亚洲金融危机以来,江苏省出口出     

2012年1月外贸形势

"春节"因素导致1月进出口增速放缓加深,进出口增速双双继续回落,进口增速较进口放缓更重,当月贸易顺差明显增加一、1月出口同比增速出现负增长1月,我国出口1499.4亿美元,累计同比下降0.5%,环比下降14.2%;1月出口同比增速较去年同月下降38.1个百分点,与2008-2011年同期均值比下降17.46     

寒冬之中有春意

2012年伊始，1月出口增速大幅低于预期，是春节影响还是趋势性下滑？欧债危机引致的外需下滑对我国的出口究竞冲击如何？年内出口增速将继续低迷还是突现逆转？成本变化对我国出口竞争力的影响几何？带着这些问题，笔者率领研究团队在江苏南京实地调研。

经济将保持外冷内暖格局

全球经济恶化超预期导致出口大幅下降,2009年出口将出现两位数负增长。2009年经济增长的动力将来自于内需的增长。维持09年8.2%的经济增长预测不变,同时大幅上调投资增速,大幅下调出口增速。     

对欧盟出口增速下滑的原因及启示

我国对欧盟出口增速的下滑有欧债危机的影响因素,但更要看到趋势性因素的影响随着欧债危机的深化,我国经济特别是出口受到的负面影响不断显现。根据海关总署的数据,2011年下半年以来,我国对欧盟出口增速大幅下滑,月度同比增长率从2011年8月的22.3%下降到2012年8月的-12.6%。欧盟是我国的主要贸易伙伴,对欧盟出口增速的下滑将影响我国的经济增长和就业。     

顺差大降只是暂时现象

3月份中国出口同比增速从1-2月份的41.7%大幅下滑至6.9%,而从一季度加总的数据看,出口增速为27.8%,今年一季度出口增速依然强劲。3月份的外贸数据既不预示人民币升值幅度下降,也不预示全年出口增速大幅下滑,预计今年全年出口增速依然强劲。     

Bayesian Premium Rating with Latent Structure

We propose a fully Bayesian approach to non-life risk premium rating, based on hierarchical models with latent variables for both claim frequency and claim size. Inference is based on the joint posterior distribution and is performed by Markov Chain Monte Carlo. Rather than plug-in point estimates of all unknown parameters, we take into account all sources of uncertainty simultaneously when the model is used to predict claims and estimate risk premiums. Several models are fitted to both a simulated dataset and a small portfolio regarding theft from cars. We show that interaction among latent variables can improve predictions significantly. We also investigate when interaction is not necessary. We compare our results with those obtained under a standard generalized linear model and show through numerical simulation that geographically located and spatially interacting latent variables can successfully compensate for missing covariates. However, when applied to the real portfolio data, the proposed models are not better than standard models due to the lack of spatial structure in the data.     

The development of the group accounts disclosure system in Japan

The Japanese disclosure system of consolidated statements was introduced in 1977 and extensively revised in 1997. The role of the bureaucracy has been significant in these developments and seems to be part of Japan's closed culture. However, other explanations could also be applied. In particular, although Japanese firms opposed such disclosures on the basis of preparation costs, the Japanese government had to modernize the disclosure system, including consolidation, in order to develop the securities market regardless of an individual company's interests.     

Moments of Compound Mixed Poisson Distributions

Recursive formulae are derived for the evaluation of the moments and the descending factorial moments about a point n of mixed Poisson and compound mixed Poisson distributions, in the case where the derivative of the logarithm of the mixing density can be written as a ratio of polynomials. As byproduct, we also obtain recursive formulae for the evaluation of the moments about the origin, central moments, descending and ascending factorial moments of these distributions. Examples are also presented for a number of mixing densities.     

The designing of corporate accounting law in Japan after the Second World War

After the Second World War, during the neutralization of the controlled economy of wartime Japan, a design for a Corporate Accounting Law was elaborated by the Investigation Committee on the Business Accounting System. The Investigation Committee tried to establish not only new business accounting standards but also a central and independent administrative organ of corporate accounting regulation on the basis of the Corporate Accounting Law. The Corporate Accounting Law was expected to lay the legal foundation of the new corporate accounting regulation regime in Japan. Nevertheless, even though the original design of the fundamental accounting law was never realized, it should be considered the starting point for our understanding of external accounting history in post-war Japan.     

The deliberation around accounting techniques: accounting for depreciation and foreign exchange in an Indian jute company, 1870-1900

This paper examines the way two accounting techniques, namely depreciation and foreign exchange, were deliberated on, between 1870 and 1900, in an Indian jute company whose shareholders resided in the UK. The arena for these deliberations was the conflictual relationship between controlling and non-controlling shareholders as to how best to account for depreciation and foreign exchange especially when the particular accountings affected distributional issues such as the dividend decision. The purpose of this paper is to analyse and explain the processes by which a company's accounting practices emerge and develop as a contest between different interests. Accounting framed the parameters of the deliberations and provided the language of power and dissent. The paper uses a rich archive that includes narrative and accounting material.     

Pricing Dynamic Insurance Risks Using the Principle of Equivalent Utility

We introduce an expected utility approach to price insurance risks in a dynamic financial market setting. The valuation method is based on comparing the maximal expected utility functions with and without incorporating the insurance product, as in the classical principle of equivalent utility. The pricing mechanism relies heavily on risk preferences and yields two reservation prices - one each for the underwriter and buyer of the contract. The framework is rather general and applies to a number of applications that we extensively analyze.

International harmonization of Japanese accounting standards

Historically, Japanese accounting standards have been quite distinct from International Accounting Standards (IASs) which have been perceived as being modelled on British-American accounting standards. However, in the 1990s, after the publication of E32 in 1989 and the IASC-IOSCO Agreement in 1995, the Business Accounting Deliberation Committee (BADC), the standards-setting body in Japan, has pursued a policy of harmonization with IASs. Accounting standards relating to consolidated financial statements of companies that make cross-border offerings of securities or operate worldwide are being revised drastically. This paper focuses on the development of international accounting harmonization and its impact on Japan.
