俄罗斯的基础设施PPP模式现状与前景

基础设施的发展,毫无疑问是国家发展的基本方向条件。国家-私营合作,是一种方便的合作机制。在这种机制下,政府可以用较少的资金或政府不耗费自己的资金来发展基础设施建设。对于俄罗斯来说,运用国家-私营的合作方式,成为发展本国基础设施建设的新方式。但如果缺少完善的法律制度,将会阻碍发展的进程。     

毕业之后

最近,我以前的一些学生开始应付毕业后的现实生活问题。每次听到他们的感叹,都会让我想起当我开始找第一份正式工作时,我的母亲对我说的话,＂艰苦的工作是不容易的,但容易的工作是不好找的。＂如今,与很多中国学生不同,当我听到这些话的时候,已经有非常多艰苦工作的经验。     

如何更好地理解石油市场

石油价格在过去六个月暴跌引发了广泛的讨论,其中不乏阴谋论。虽然这些解释都非常有创意而且有趣,但我们认为只有通过分析供给、需求、经济表现以及成本竞争力,才能更好地分析形势。很多人预测到强劲的供给增长,但我们认为最意外的因素是需求不足——每天的需求量低于某些预测60万桶左右。石油供给连续三年增长,这主要来自北美。但到2014年中,全球需求疲软已经非常明显。一旦需求供给相互作用,石     

Does reputation of sponsors matter in IPO? Evidence from Hong Kong

Contrary to other markets where underwriters perform a combined role of underwriting and sponsoring in an Initial Public Offering (IPO), IPO issuers in Hong Kong must appoint at least one sponsor in addition to the underwriters. The splitting of the single role of underwriters into two separate ones offers an ideal setting to disentangle the effects of the two roles and to examine which of the two roles—sponsor or underwriter—is more important in explaining IPO underpricing and initial volatility in the Hong Kong equity market. Interestingly, our findings provide supportive evidence that the sponsor reputation does matter in an IPO and it is even more significant than the underwriter reputation in explaining the IPO underpricing phenomenon. Given the recent high-tech fervor, our research goes deeper to examine specifically the role of sponsors on high-tech firms, with results indicating that the reliance on sponsors is higher for traditional issuers than for technology firms. We further discover that sponsors and underwriters are playing substitution roles rather than complementary roles. In order to examine the regulatory policy impact, our research also compares the role of IPO sponsors before and after the launch of the new sponsor regulatory regime in 2013. The empirical findings lend support to our argument that after the launch of the new regulations, public awareness of sponsors is raised, respect towards more reputable sponsor increases, and thus, the role of sponsors becomes more important than before.     

世界即将迎来人民币时代

正英国财政大臣乔治·奥斯本(George Osborne)在近期访问上海时表示:虽然人民币目前的市场知名度还不是很高,但在我有生之年,人民币将会变成几乎和美元一样无人不知的货币。人民币地位的任何变化都离不开国际金融图景的深刻调整。但人民币目前的演进速度之快引人瞩目。作为交换中介以及计账单位,人民币将在3年内取得国际地位;而在     

美国控制温室气体排放的市场化政策选择

在历史上,美国习惯于采用指挥与控制法来减少污染物排放。然而,这种规制措施会降低产业部门的生产效率。文章引入基于市场机制的两种碳价政策,一是碳税,二是总量控制与交易计划,并对这两种政策选择的设计进行了探讨,对二者在不确定性条件下的减排效果、促进政府税收、加强行政管理等方面的差异进行了比较,认为采用一种将碳税和总量控制与交易计划结合在一起的综合性碳价政策,在效率和分配方面要优于指挥与控制法。
