会计准则制定模式的新思考:"五星模型"的应用

会计准则的制定模式是会计理论界由来已久的争论焦点之一。目前,会计界公认的会计准则制定模式主要有三种:政府集中制、民间自主制和民间制定政府监管的混合制。本文分别评述了三种模式的优点和缺点,并结合实际提出一套新的基于公共选择理论的可行方案——五星模型。

The Underpricing and Excess Returns of Initial Public Offerings in Taiwan Based on Noisy Trading: A Stochastic Frontier Model

Initial public offerings (IPOs) are typically offered at prices lower than the transaction price in the early aftermarket. With a stochastic frontier model, we measured the fair offer price of an IPO and then the deliberate IPO underpricing and the market misvaluation based on the estimated fair offer price. Our results show that IPOs are deliberately underpriced. The extent of noisy trading leading to significantly higher market transaction prices explains the excess IPO returns. We conclude that initial IPO returns result primarily from the noisy trading activities instead of the deliberate IPO underpricing.     

A Reconsideration of the Jumbo/Non-Jumbo Mortgage Rate Differential

Consistent with a series of recent papers, the interest-rate differential between mortgages eligible for purchase based on loan size by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and larger loans is estimated to be 22 basis points over the 1986–2000 period. This differential averaged 19 basis points for the 1996–2000 period. Other significant effects include: loans slightly above the conforming loan limit and originated late in a calendar year often have a lower rate that nearly fully anticipates their likely characterization as a non-jumbo loan after the conforming loan limit is indexed effective each January; loan-to-value ratios affect jumbo loan rates much more than they affect non-jumbo loan rates; loans located in non-metropolitan areas have a 3 basis point differential versus loans in metropolitan areas that is surprisingly small given the likely higher cost to service non-metropolitan loans and the higher degree of uncertainty about non-metropolitan collateral values; and estimated regional mortgage rate differentials have narrowed through time.     

Convergence of numerical methods for valuing path-dependent options using interpolation

One method for valuing path-dependent options is the augmented state space approach described in Hull and White (1993) and Barraquand and Pudet (1996), among others. In certain cases, interpolation is required because the number of possible values of the additional state variable grows exponentially. We provide a detailed analysis of the convergence of these algorithms. We show that it is possible for the algorithm to be non-convergent, or to converge to an incorrect answer, if the interpolation scheme is selected in appropriately. We concentrate on Asian options, due to their popularity and because of some errors in the previous literature.
