Cross‐border mergers and acquisitions: The role of private equity firms

Research summary: We show that private equity ownership (“PE backing”) of the acquirer is a signal of deal quality in cross‐border takeovers. As such, PE‐backed acquirers experience higher announcement returns in cross‐border takeovers, but only if targets are in poor information environments. We show that PE backing is a positive market signal because of PE firms' experience and networks that result from prior deals in target countries. We document that the market correctly anticipates that operating performance of PE‐backed acquirers increases as a result of cross‐border mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Managerial summary: We study cross‐border acquisitions by acquirers that are partially owned by private equity firms (“PE backing”). Cross‐border acquisitions are challenging as acquirers often have little information about targets. We document that investors react positively to cross‐border deals of PE‐backed acquirers—their stock prices increase upon deal announcements. However, this is only the case if targets are in countries with poor information environments. This is because PE backing allows acquirers to access PE firms' deal experience and networks. This makes it easier to identify and evaluate good targets, making it more (less) likely that a deal eventually creates (destroys) value. Consistent with this, we find that earnings of PE‐backed acquirers increase after buying targets in poor information environments. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

中国经济转型中的资本形成及其效应:一个二元特征

Productivity dynamics and the cleansing effect of two recessions: Evidence from the manufacturing sector in Korea

In general, recessions provoke the exit of a greater number of firms from the market. Less productive firms are more likely to exit and release their former resources to the remaining, more productive firms. The present study investigates two recessions in Korea: the Asian financial crisis and the global financial crisis. The main objective of the present study is to analyse the process of creative destruction in a recession, specifically the cleansing effect. We measured total factor productivity using micro‐level manufacturing plant data from 1993 to 2013. We decomposed the source of the changes in total factor productivity to measure the cleansing effect in two large recessions. During the first recession in the 1990s, there was no evidence to support a cleansing effect hypothesis. In contrast, during the second recession in the 2000s, there was evidence of a cleansing effect. In addition, we found differences in market selection criteria in the two recessions; by the second crisis, the market selection criteria had changed to enable a more conducive environment for the creative destruction process.     

财政补贴的竞争法审查及其改进——兼论《公平竞争审查制度实施细则（暂行）》

财政补贴是国家干预经济的重要手段,能够促进产业结构调整和转型升级、平衡和加速地区间的经济发展,但极易对市场公平竞争带来消极影响,例如破坏市场结构、误导市场行为、减损市场绩效,等等。《公平竞争审查制度实施细则（暂行）》对此予以重点关注,但缺乏全面性的制度构建。这方面,欧盟国家援助制度值得我们学习和借鉴。欲改进我国财政补贴的竞争法审查,必须落实公平竞争审查制度,坚持必要性原则、公平原则和透明度原则,同时要建立补贴评估机制、豁免机制、信息披露机制和异议机制,以规范财政补贴的实施,平衡财政补贴和竞争政策的冲突,确保市场竞争机制不被财政补贴所扭曲。

基于小波神经网络的高阶CAPM实证研究

本文在传统CAPM的基础上,引入了一个高阶的CAPM。借助小波神经网络在非线性函数逼近方面的优势,使用上海证券交易所股票数据分别对二阶至四阶CAPM进行了实证分析。最终的研究结果表明:就上海股市而言,12只大盘股组合已经能够有效分散非系统风险,而12只小盘股不能充分化解非系统风险,存在所谓的规模效应;训练后的网络预测显示,高阶CAPM无论是在预测精度还是预测稳定性上都要明显优于传统的CAPM,在一个非系统风险得到充分分散的证券组合中,加入三阶矩的CAPM已经能够比较准确地把握风险资产的市场定价。

网络借贷生态环境的缺陷及其治理研究

网络借贷作为金融与科技融合的数字金融业态,市场需求旺盛,未来必然会长期作用于民间金融。网络借贷在发展中存在着诸多问题,是源于网络借贷生态环境的缺陷。网络借贷需要在规范经营中探索业务模式和监管方式的创新,加强监管协调,引入"监管沙盒"机制。因此,需要加强大数据、云计算、人工智能在网络借贷中的应用,并完善社会征信体系和法制体系,改善社会信用环境,完善行业自律机制,建立良好的网络借贷生态环境,以促进网络借贷健康可持续发展。
