Hedging,Financing and Investment Decisions: A Simultaneous Equations Framework

We empirically investigate the interactions among hedging, financing, and investment decisions. We argue that the way in which hedging affects a firm's financing and investing decisions differs for firms with different growth opportunities. We find that high growth firms increase their investment, but not leverage, by hedging. However, we also find that firms with few investment opportunities use derivatives to increase their leverage.

Foreign debt and economic growth

This paper empirically examines the relationship between government foreign debt and the growth rate of per capita GDP based on a total sample of 77 countries, as well as sub‐samples of various regions. Cross‐sectional estimates of the coefficient of foreign debt based on the total sample have a negative sign, but are not always statistically significant. Available data from African countries indicate that foreign debt and the growth rate of per capita GDP were negatively related at a high level of significance. For industrialized and Latin American sub‐samples, this relationship is negative but statistically insignificant. The sub‐sample Asian and other developing countries show a positive but insignificant relationship. JEL classification: F34, H6, O23.     

The impact of time duration between trades on the price of treasury note futures contracts

Recent research in finance has indicated that the institutional structure in which financial asset prices are determined can have a nontrivial impact on pricing. This report examines transaction level data for Treasury Note futures contracts traded at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) to identify institutional, or market microstructure, impacts on the pricing of these contracts. Relatively few articles have conducted empirical research on the microstructure of U.S. futures trading due to the limited availability of comprehensive transaction level data from the futures exchanges. This report uses the CBOT's Computerized Trade Reconstruction database, a comprehensive transaction level dataset, to identify the price impact of the time duration between trades in a manner analogous to that of A. Dufour and R. F. Engle (2000). Unique differences from prior research include the application to futures contracts with their relative higher frequency of trading, as well as the investigation of the price impact of the number of active traders present on the trading floor and the trading volume. Subsequent price and sign of trade significantly relate to the time duration between trades, the number of floor brokers, and the trading volume. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Jrl.

刍议虚拟财产的法律保护

随着网络,尤其是网络游戏的迅猛发展,虚拟财产的交易及其保护引发了是否要对其加以保护,如何进行保护,如何进行规范等一系列问题,在我国的司法实践中已经不得不开始面对这类纠纷的裁判,而在法律上有关虚拟财产的规则尚处于不确定的空白,给这类纠纷的解决带来了很大的障碍,基于此,进行虚拟财产特性、交易等等相关法律问题的研究,并在探讨其合法性的前提下,进一步论证虚拟财产的法律保护规则的建构具有十分重要的理论意义与现实意义。     

美投资银行的竞争优势及对内地投资银行业的冲击——基于波特钻石理论和动态企业能力论视角

在金融业全面对外开放的条件下,中国脆弱的投资银行业面临新一轮的挑战,被外国投资银行攻城掠地的场面是否会在中国继续上演?对此,波特的钻石理论提出了使一个国家具备产业竞争优势的六个因素,但真正使一个国家产业具备竞争优势却在于企业内部的组织学习和创新.美国投资银行业基于长期对生产要素的投资和积累形成了全球性的竞争优势,占据了投资银行高端业务并有进一步争夺中国投资银行业务的趋势.面对冲击,国内投资银行应立足自身优势,发展壮大自己,而政府也应在产业规制和健全宏观环境上下功夫.

马克思自然富源观与中世纪英国经济的变迁

马克思的自然富源学说以往受到忽视,实际上它是理解英国中世纪经济的一把钥匙。自然富源不仅影响中世纪英国的农业、工业、贸易和交通,也影响了人们对地理环境的应对措施。正是在这种互动的历史进程中,英国最先走出了中世纪。
