民营企业参股银行的动机与效果研究——以上市民营企业为例

本文以2006-2010年各年新增参股银行的上市民营企业为研究对象,从参股动机和效果两个维度对民营企业参股银行进行了研究,并考察了参股行为对民营企业融资约束的影响。结果发现,上市民营企业参股银行更多出于追求多元化经营和分享银行业的垄断利润考虑,参股后民营企业的融资约束得到了显著缓解。比较参股前后发现,民营企业在整体负债水平、银行借款方面都有显著增加,借款期限结构显著缩短,显示参股银行的确可以帮助民营企业获得外部融资。相比之下,参股后企业的营业外净收益有所增加,但整体绩效水平显著下降。     

谦卑型领导行为、组织公民行为与团队效能关系

领导行为影响团队效能。探讨了谦卑型领导行为对团队效能的影响,系统分析了组织公民行为在谦卑型领导行为与团队效能间的中介作用。通过问卷调查和统计分析,研究发现,谦卑型领导行为与团队效能显著正相关,谦卑型领导行为的3个维度都对团队绩效、团队承诺有显著正向影响;开门纳言、欣赏他人对团队满意度有显著正向影响。领导开门纳言、欣赏他人对组织公民行为有显著影响,而组织公民行为又显著影响团队绩效、团队满意度与团队承诺;组织公民行为在开门纳言与团队绩效、开门纳言与团队承诺关系间起完全中介作用,在开门纳言和团队满意度关系间起部分中介作用,在欣赏他人与团队效能关系间起部分中介作用。     

Evolution of FDI flows in the global network: 2003–2012

As one type of international capital flow, FDI maintains its important role in globalization. This article attempts to investigate the evolution of the FDI flows from a network perspective. Based on the bilateral FDI flows data between countries from 2003 to 2012, we construct the global FDI flows network for each year and thus quantify network measures (such as flow volumes and connections); further by analysing the tendency and changes of these network measures during the past 10 years, we delineate the features and dynamics of the FDI flows in the global network. We have the following findings: (a) the flows network changes during and after the crisis, i.e. flow volume fallen down and recovered, and flow connection restructured with more diversity; (b) the global FDI flows network is getting more loosely connected; (c) individual countries vary in different patterns.     

基于灰色关联模型的福建海洋产业分析

运用灰色关联方法分别分析近年来福建海洋产业与陆域产业的关联、主要海洋产业增加值与海洋总增加值的关联、海洋三次产业增加值与总增加值的关联,并运用产业结构熵数对福建海洋产业结构的动态变化趋势进行研究。结果表明,福建海洋产业与陆域产业的关联性相对要大于海洋产业内部的关联,滨海旅游业是福建的海洋支柱产业,海水产品加工业、海水产品及加工品批发零售贸易业和海洋渔业是福建的海洋主导产业,但福建省海洋经济结构趋于单一化,海洋产值波动较大。

Power and responsibility: How different sources of CEO power affect firms' corporate social responsibility practices

Does greater CEO power come with more responsibility? Previous scholarly work in this field entails divergent results on this question. Based on the upper echelons theory and CEO power literature, this study aimed to explore the mechanisms underlying how different sources of CEO power, including structural, ownership, expert, and prestige power, affect firms’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices and whether such relationships are moderated by firm visibility. Using a panel dataset comprising 6604 yearly observations of Chinese publicly traded firms from 2009 to 2019, we found that structural power is negatively related to CSR practices and that expert power is positively related to CSR practices, whereas ownership power and prestige power have no direct relationship with CSR practices. Our results show that firm visibility weakens the negative relationship between structural power and CSR practices and strengthens the relationship between expert power and CSR practices, respectively. Overall, this study reconciles the mixed results of previous studies on the impact of CEO power on CSR and integrates the effect of firm visibility as a contextual factor. This article concludes with practical recommendations on how to manage CSR engagement.     

The inversion of married women's labour supply and wage: Evidence from Thailand

This study investigates the labour supply behaviour of married Thai women with reference to their own and their spouse's wages. Controlling for spousal education and number of children, the main findings indicate an inverse relationship between married women's labour supply and wages, contrary to the evidence from developed countries. The estimated own wage elasticity ranges from ?1.70 to ?2.40 and the cross elasticity ranges from ?0.16 to ?0.17, indicating that the impact of own wage on labour supplied is much larger than spouse's wage. The results from disaggregation classified according to different socioeconomic backgrounds also show negative elasticities between own and spouses' wage across all subgroups, except for those with university degrees and higher income.     

External regulation,independent director attendance,and governance effects

In this study we examine how the regulation of director attendance disciplines directors’ behavior, and consider the governance effect of such regulations. This examination exploits the differences between the requirements for director attendance at board meetings enacted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SHSE) and by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE). Using a difference-in-differences model with a sample of A-share listed firms from 2006 to 2017, we document that the rate of meeting attendance by independent directors who serve with firms listed on the SHSE (SHIDs) has increased significantly since the exchange’s enforcement of the regulation on attendance. This positive effect has been more pronounced for independent directors with legal backgrounds. Further investigations find that the regulation of attendance plays a corporate governance role through the mechanism of enhanced monitoring. The attendance regulation increases the SHIDs likelihood of casting dissenting votes, and it leads to both better accounting performance and higher firm value. In addition, SHIDs are more likely to depart from firms listed on the SHSE, and to transfer their directorships to firms listed on the SZSE, which has a less constraining attendance requirement. Our findings provide evidence of how external regulation shapes director attendance and voting behavior in emerging markets.
