The role of top management team diversity in shaping the performance of business model innovation: a threshold effect

Business model innovation is one of the firm’s most important strategic decisions. Top management team (TMT), as the critical decision-makers, has essential influence upon such decisions. However, the role of TMT diversity in shaping the performance of business model innovation is less explored in the literature. Based on a sample dataset of 906 observations of small and medium enterprises from China Startups Stock Market during the period of 2009–2011, we find that TMT diversity exhibits a significant threshold effect on the relationship between business model innovation (in terms of novelty-centred and efficiency-centred business model) and firm performance. More specifically, when TMT functional diversity arrives at a certain level, the positive relationship between novelty-centred business model and firm performance becomes more pronounced. On the other hand, the positive relationship between efficiency-centred business model innovation and firm performance will be more significant when TMT tenure diversity increases to a certain level.

税制改革应整体推进

近30年来,与整个市场化取向的改革相适应,税制作为各方利益调整的载体,进行了若干次改革,但每次改革离预想的或希望达到的目标都存有一定的差距。本文认为,税制改革是个综合性的改革,如单科独进,必将导致税制实施效果与理论设计初衷的严重背离。因此,增强未来税制改革效果的基本出路是:整体推进并注重相关改革的配套进行。     

中国八大城市群互联网金融发展的区域差异分解及收敛性研究

研究目标：揭示长三角城市群、珠三角城市群、京津冀城市群、中原城市群、长江中游城市群、哈长城市群、成渝城市群和北部湾城市群等八大城市群互联网金融发展的区域差异及其收敛性。研究方法：利用2014年3月~2015年12月蚂蚁金服大数据平台公布的城市互联网金融发展指数月度数据,采用Dagum基尼系数及其分解方法对八大城市群互联网金融发展的区域差异进行分解,采用空间面板数据回归模型对σ收敛、β收敛、俱乐部收敛进行检验。研究发现：2014年3月~2015年12月,八大城市群互联网金融发展的总体区域差异呈逐渐下降的趋势,珠三角城市群内部互联网金融发展的差异最大,地区间差异是导致互联网金融区域差距的主要来源,互联网金融发展呈现出典型的σ收敛。研究创新：揭示八大城市群互联网金融发展的区域差异来源,对σ收敛、β收敛、俱乐部收敛进行经验检验。研究价值：对于缩小互联网金融发展的区域差异,促进城市群互联网金融的协同发展具有重要意义。     

减排与增长:服务业如何实现绿色均衡发展?

服务业是中国经济转型和产业结构升级的重要抓手,在资源与环境"双重"约束日益趋紧的背景下,有必要研究服务业绿色发展问题。能否在减排成本最小的前提下提高服务业增长率,走出一条绿色发展路径?为此,文章创新性地将排放权交易市场引入服务业部门,采用方向性距离函数、非线性规划等实证研究方法测算2004-2012年中国服务业14个细分行业的绿色效率和碳排放影子价格。研究表明:中国服务业发展方式并非"绿色",服务业减排成本和碳排放量逐年增长,减排面临巨大的经济压力;在文章设计的排放权交易模型下,服务业细分行业能够形成一个统一的影子价格,从而实现一条绿色发展路径,该路径满足帕累托有效和投入产出技术有效;在均衡路径上,流通服务业应出售排放权,而其他减排成本较高的服务业购买排放权。     

Market Reaction to Seasoned Offerings in China

This study examines stock market reaction to the announcement of various forms of seasoned issues in China. Our empirical evidence demonstrates that market reactions differ in ways that suggest a difference between management's internal assessment and the market's assessment of the stock price. The market responds unfavourably to the announcement, notably in the case of rights issues and also with regard to open offers. Private placements experience an unfavourable pre‐announcement reaction, which contrasts with the favourable reaction after the event. Convertible bond issues generate positive excess returns consistent with the market's confidence that they can help to align management and shareholders’ interests. Further investigation shows that market reaction is related to factors specific to the issuer and issue by reference to the period immediately surrounding the issue. Specifically, ownership concentration, agency matters connected with equity offerings, investor protection connected with fund allocation and security pricing, and the influence of powerful moneyed interests together provide an instructive insight into market reaction. Institutional inefficiency pertaining to underwriting, auditing, analysts’ forecasts and credit ratings are found to have a weak association with market price, consistent with due public scepticism concerning management and their gatekeepers.     

科技政策组合的技术创新协同效应研究 ——供给侧—需求侧视角

利用2013-2016年中关村园区企业数据,将创新划分为创新倾向、技术绩效和经济绩效,以政策供给侧的政府补贴、税收优惠及需求侧的政府采购为研究对象,基于倾向得分匹配方法分析供需两侧科技政策组合的技术创新协同效应。结果表明：政策支持对技术创新存在激励效应,供给侧政策对创新倾向的激励效应最强,而需求侧政策对创新绩效的激励效应更显著;不同的科技政策组合形式均对技术创新具有激励作用,并且科技政策组合对技术创新存在协同效应。

Financial markets,financial dependence,and the allocation of capital

We explore one specific channel through which finance promotes growth: the allocation of capital. Using international industrial data, we find that countries with developed financial markets invest more in growing industries, and pull out more funds of declining ones. Most interestingly, this pattern is more eminent for those industries more dependent on external financing. Various robustness checks show that the results are not driven by reverse causality, omitted variables, specific countries or industries.
