The Effects of Industrial Policy Support on IPO Performance: Evidence from Listed Enterprises of the Chinese SMEs Board

This study examines the effects of industrial policy support on the initial public offering performance of listed enterprises on the Chinese small and medium‐sized enterprises board. We observe that industrial policy support has a positive effect on IPO performance. In addition, we provide evidence that after the financial crisis, the decrease of IPO underpricing resulting from policy support implemented three months before firms going public is less than that deriving from the policy support issued six months prior to listing, whereas the effect of industrial policy support on post‐IPO operating performance has increased after the financial crisis.     

Toward a Typology of Family Firm Corporate Entrepreneurship

Family involvement in business creates idiosyncrasies in firm behavior that promote long‐term, often transgenerational, strategic logics that ostensibly align with the motivations and outcomes of corporate entrepreneurship. Interestingly, extant research provides only minimal insight into the heterogeneous nature of corporate entrepreneurship orientations pursued by family firms. To better understand this heterogeneity, we develop a typology of corporate entrepreneurship in family firms providing a reconciliatory approach to this literary diversity and suggest that the varied corporate entrepreneurship orientations of family firms are impacted by the duality of a family's distinct intention to pursue transgenerational succession and capabilities to acquire external knowledge.     

Information asymmetry and the speed of adjustment: debasements in the mid‐sixteenth century

This article examines the impact of information asymmetry on the movement of London–Antwerp exchange rates against the backdrop of the Great Debasement of 1544–51. The case of the revaluation of gold coins in the Habsburg Netherlands in 1539, about which the sovereign and the public possessed similar information, is used as the benchmark to judge how far the speed of adjustment was affected by information asymmetry. This article is also part of the recent literature that estimates the degree of financial market integration in late medieval and early modern Europe. In the framework of the threshold autoregressive model, the speed of adjustment and the transaction costs associated with arbitrage are estimated, and the results are judged using the speed of communication as a benchmark since the flow of information played a critical role in financial arbitrage. The results reveal that the sixteenth‐century London–Antwerp exchange markets were already as integrated as that during the late nineteenth century, but information asymmetry severely disturbed the effectiveness of exchange arbitrage.     

创新资源集聚、技术创新成果与企业成长——基于我国上市IT企业面板数据的实证研究

文章运用Eviews 6.0软件,以沪深49家IT企业的面板数据实证研究创新资源集聚、技术创新成果产出、企业成长三者的内在关联,并对家族企业和非家族企业的技术创新进行对比研究。研究发现,研发人员数达到促进技术创新成果产出的门槛值以后,其与技术创新成果产出之间会呈现显著正向关系,与企业成长之间仅存在边际意义上的U型关系;产学研合作和企业成长呈现出显著的U型关系,但与企业技术创新成果的产出也只存在边际意义上的U型关系;研发支出与企业技术创新成果产出和企业成长均只存在边际意义上的U型关系;技术创新成果与企业成长之间存在显著U型关系;产权属性对企业技术创新存在影响,家族企业较非家族企业更加注重技术创新实践。

Do Cryptocurrencies Increase the Systemic Risk of the Global Financial Market?

The advance of cryptocurrencies has sparked wide concern over their interplay with the existing global financial market. This paper analyzes the risk spillover relation between cryptocurrencies and major financial assets, and unravels how cryptocurrencies could influence global financial systemic risk. We find that cryptocurrencies function as a separate risk source from traditional assets. Major legislative, financial and technological events in the cryptocurrency market may affect risk spillover dynamics. Although the overall penetration of cryptocurrencies is not yet deep, introducing cryptocurrency can significantly increase the systemic risk to traditional markets during low risk level episodes.

A tale of two clusters: knowledge and emergence

Cluster emergence is an important topic but weakly conceptualized in the literature. Focusing on the interaction of the local knowledge pool and firm growth, the paper develops a comprehensive framework to understand cluster emergence. In the framework, the cluster formation process starts with the collision of local and external knowledge which generates an innovation and stimulates the creation of local pioneering firms in a new field. To support the growth of follow-up entrants in the new industry, the local knowledge pool needs to be expanded and deepened through local knowledge sharing and external knowledge inflows. The enlarged local knowledge pool enables local firms to grow and explore other fields further. To promote cluster emergence, public policies need to facilitate the interaction of the local knowledge pool and firm growth. The paper illustrates the interactive framework with two aluminum extrusion clusters in China that emerged in different ways over different time periods.     

我国知识产权壁垒研究现状及成因、对策简析——基于文献计量学的视角

随着针对知识产权壁垒研究的开展,学者们当前的研究热点及现状成为需要关注的方向。本研究基于文献计量学的视角,对2005.01-2015.03间CSSCI期刊中收录的以知识产权壁垒为研究主题的研究论文进行统计与关键词归类,并利用Ucinet软件,对知识产权壁垒的研究现状展开分析。研究结果显示,关于知识产权壁垒的研究尚处于起步阶段,研究热点主要集中于知识产权壁垒的定义与表现形式、337调查及应对策略等,而对于知识产权壁垒的成因分析却涉及较少。因此,本文继续以337调查事件为基础,结合我国现实,对知识产权壁垒形成的原因进行归纳,最终为打破知识产权壁垒提供了相应的对策建议。
