有效抑制“冲时点”的逻辑起点

商业银行＂冲时点＂的行为,人为扭曲了信贷市场的供求状况,且通过引致货币市场流动性阶段性紧张,间接影响货币政策调控效果。商业银行＂冲时点＂现象的存在,既有内部激励因素,也有外部压力因素。有效治理商业银行＂冲时点＂行为,需要商业银行转变经营理念;亦需要监管部门从宏观审慎管理的角度,按照市场化监管逻辑建立银行自律与市场监管结合的激励相容机制。     

中小银行合规管理有效性分析

依法合规经营,是《商业银行法》对商业银行的基本要求,是规范银行经营行为、有效防范风险的重要前提,也是衡量中资银行经营管理水平的重要指标。从近几年发生的违规案件来看,中小银行的合规失效问题严重。有章不循、执章不力,银行内部相互的制衡机制难以有效地发挥作用,是导致案件发生的重要原因。本文对中小银行合规管理进行了初步梳理,并对如何提升中小银行合规管理的有效性提出若干建议。

Barriers to cross‐border trade union cooperation in Europe: the case of the graphical workers

This paper is concerned with exploring the barriers to cross‐border trade union cooperation among graphical workers in Europe. Highlighting the increasing globalisation of graphical multinationals, the paper illustrates that graphical unions cannot restrict their activities to developments within national boundaries. As such it highlights some of the obstacles that unions face in attempting to instigate transnational cooperation strategies. These obstacles include: the role of employers, the prevailing practices of the unions, employee reticence, the role of the law and resource constraints. It concludes by stressing the continuing need to strengthen cross‐border trade union networks with the ability to impose effective sanctions against the unbridled growth of multinational power.     

Technology and international competitiveness

This article analyses the structure of trade and trade performance of the largest six OECD economies in the 1980s. The article is concerned in particular with the role of technology and innovation and the relationship between specialization in sectors of high, medium or low technology intensity and trade performance. It assesses the argument that the maintenance of international competitiveness requires the advanced economies to become internationally competitive, and to specialize, in higher technology sectors, given that there is increasing competition, especially from newly industrializing countries in low technology products. Section I considers the theoretical basis of this hypothesis; Section II assesses whether it is compatible with data on manufacturing trade performance in the 1980s.     

Intra-industry trade in the 1980s: A panel study

Intra-Industry Trade in the 1980s: A Panel Study. — This paper uses a panel data set to estimate the determinants of intra-industry trade in the 1980s. The data for trade covers 68 ISIC industries for the US, Japan, Germany, France, the UK and Italy from 1980 to 1987. UK data is used to measure industry characteristics. The results support, in particular, the positive effects of R&;D intensity and heterogeneity on intra-industry trade and the negative effects of scale and concentration. While fixed effects estimation indicates that industry characteristics explain most of the variation in intra-industry trade, differences in industry characteristics or in their effects vary significantly across countries.     

A test of risk arbitrage profitability

We explore the performance of risk arbitrage involving three types of merger offers: cash tender, stock swap, and collar offers for the period between 1990 and 2000. Our result reveals that risk arbitrage for a successful stock offer generates higher returns than a successful cash offer. This finding implies that the profitability of risk arbitrage depends on the level of asymmetric information associated with the payment method. We also find that the beta of typical risk arbitrage positions/portfolios is heavily influenced by the payment method and market conditions.
