新疆兵团各师局综合经济竞争实力的比较研究

经过五十余年的发展，兵团经济取得了长足进步：经济总量逐年增长，产业结构逐步优化，区域经济竞争力逐步增强。但由于体制等原因，兵团区域经济竞争力相对薄弱。在兵团要在西北地区率先实现小康社会的新形势下，在经济全球化不断推进、区域间经济综合实力竞争日趋加剧的背景下，兵团现有区域经济竞争力已不适应兵团经济社会发展的新要求，兵团区域经济竞争力亟待提高。     

Job Turnover in China: A Case Study of Shanghai's Manufacturing Enterprises

This article studies the job turnover among manufacturing enterprises in Shanghai during the period from 1989 to 1992. Various indicators of job turnover are calculated. The empirical results demonstrate that types of ownership and firm size are significant factors in accounting for the changes in job generation and job reallocation. Among various types of enterprise, international joint ventures and small firms are more able to create jobs and to generate job reallocation.

Japanese‐brand auto sales in China under the shadow of oppositional sentiments

This study uses the interstate political conflict in 2010 to study the impacts of oppositional sentiment on product sales of Japanese‐brand automobiles in China. By using the nationwide automobile registration data in China, we conduct difference‐in‐differences analysis and find direct evidence on Chinese consumers’ boycott of Japanese‐brand autos. It is individual buyers rather than business or government entity buyers that boycotted Japanese cars significantly. War memory, nationalist education, and protests contributed to the intensity of boycott activities, and the boycott effect was long‐lasting. Older‐generation buyers boycotted Japanese cars more significantly, but younger‐generation buyers living in cities with historical war experience or patriotic education bases boycotted Japanese cars more actively than their counterparts in other cities.     

It is merely a matter of time: A meta‐analysis of the causality between environmental performance and financial performance

Research on the relationship between corporate environmental performance (CEP) and financial performance (CFP) continuously receives high attention in both general media and academic publications. One central issue concerns the causal effects between the two constructs. Because existing primary literature is characterized by its heterogeneous study designs and mixed empirical evidence, the aim of this paper is to explicitly shed light on the causality effects between CEP and CFP by means of a meta‐analysis of 893 empirical estimates from 142 CEP–CFP studies. Our findings suggest that in the short run (1 year), financial resources can increase a firm's environmental performance as proposed by the slack resources hypothesis; however, the effects disappear in the long run (after more than 1 year). Conversely, increasing environmental performance has no short‐term effect on a corporate financial performance, whereas a firm significantly benefits in the long term, which is in accordance with the Porter hypothesis. Overall, our results show that the causality between environmental performance and financial performance depends on the time horizon.     

The CAPM strikes back? An equilibrium model with disasters

Embedding disasters into a general equilibrium model with heterogeneous firms induces strong nonlinearity in the pricing kernel, helping explain the empirical failure of the (consumption) CAPM. Our single-factor model reproduces the failure of the CAPM in explaining the value premium in finite samples without disasters and its relative success in samples with disasters. Due to beta measurement errors, the estimated beta-return relation is flat, consistent with the beta “anomaly,” even though the true beta-return relation is strongly positive. Finally, the consumption CAPM fails in simulations, even though a nonlinear model with the true pricing kernel holds exactly by construction.     

The impact of possible-offer announcements on the wealth effect of target firms

The stock market materially and positively responds to released information on possible offers, likely because such announcements signal the high probability that formal bids will be offered. If potential takeover discussions are revealed earlier, then target shareholders will gain significantly lower abnormal returns around the time of when formal offers are announced. Financial bidders are less likely to approach targets with earlier possible offers; however, if they do offer possible takeovers, they need to pay incrementally higher bid premiums in their formal offers. The reform inherent in the U.K. Takeover Code of 2011 weakens a bidder’s willingness to offer possible takeovers. The pre-reform effects of possible offers on the wealth effect of targets differ from those seen after the reform.
