代客境外理财业务新政对我国银行业的影响和对策

2006年4月,经国务院批准,中国人民银行推出了“外汇管理新政”, “外汇管理新政”放行商业银行代客境外理财业务,对我国银行业来说,带来的将是机遇大于挑战。本文在对代客境外理财业务新政解读基础上,对实施代客境外理财业务新政的目的以及对银行业的影响进行了分析,并提出了银行业的应对之策。     

税收征管的每个环节都应成为清理欠税的关口

在日常纳税证明的出具管理工作中,对于遇到纳税人欠税问题通常的做法是:在未查清欠税原因之前,不予出具纳税证明.但是,存在如下矛盾:     

浅谈"和谐导向型"的税制改革

邓力平教授在《浅谈“和谐导向型”的税制改革》一文中强调,“和谐导向型”税制改革的理念有助于加深对和谐社会建设与新一轮税制改革关系的理解,该理念指的是税制改革乃至整个税收关系都要体现社会主义和谐社会构建的要求,一方面,税改的全过程中要能充分体现和谐社会建设的要求,另一方面,改革后的税制和整个税收关系要能为和谐社会建设做贡献。     

并购中关联资产交易的会计与税收问题探讨

对企业并购关联交易按会计处理规定确认的收益与税法规定不同的,则按会计处理规定确认的收益要按税法规定进行调整后纳税。为此,当并购中涉及关联交易时,必须特别注意并购中关联交易会计处理与税务处理上的差别。     

海峡两岸税法关于折旧规定的比较

台湾的折旧政策注重功能奖励,允许多种折旧率或多种折旧方法并存,并细化固定资产折旧年限。我国大陆则采取“一刀切”做法,对固定资产的折旧年限、预计残值率以及折旧方法均有严格限制。台湾做法与经验比较成功,有值得我们学习借鉴的地方。     

采用风险导向审计时需解决的几个问题

2003年10月,国际审计与鉴证准则委员会(IAASB)通过了新的审计风险准则。中注协也在2004年10月发布了修订后的审计风险准则征求意见稿。审计风险准则征求意见稿的发布不仅将使我国的审计风险准则与国际接轨,同时也为提高审计质量、降低审计风险提供了技术支持。然而,我国当前在采用风险导向审计时有几个问题急需解决,笔者拟从信息库的建设、注册会计师的知识结构、分析性程序、辅助审计软件的建设等方面对此进行一些尝试性的探讨。     

Spatial Heterogeneity in Mortgage Terminations by Refinance, Sale and Default

This article investigates the impact of spatially correlated unobservable variables on the refinancing, selling and default decisions of mortgage borrowers. Virtually the entire mortgage literature acknowledges that borrower-specific characteristics, such as culture, education or access to information, play an important role in mortgage termination decisions. While we do not observe these variables directly, we note that borrowers of similar background tend to cluster together in neighborhoods. We estimate a competing risks hazard model with random effects using a three-stage maximum likelihood estimation approach. We utilize the space-varying coefficient method to modify the covariance structure according to the spatial distribution of the observations. Beyond a significant improvement of the model performance, this yields a number of insightful implications for mortgage termination behavior. For instance, borrowers of the affluent "West Side" of Los Angeles County both refinance and move at a higher rate than predicted by the standard maximum likelihood estimation method. At the same time, borrowers from some lower-valued neighborhoods tend to stay longer than expected with their mortgages and properties.     

House Price and co-Residence with Older Parents: Evidence from China

Numerous Chinese families choose to reside together with their elderly parents due to the considerable impacts of conventional values such as filial duty in Chinese society. However, as house prices rocketed up in major Chinese cities over the past decade, this arrangement is facing a sizeable challenge, therefore also raising new research question about it. This paper attempts to investigate the phenomenon of co-residence of adult children with their elderly parents in China. Using the 2013 data of China Household Finance Survey (CHFS), we document that house price is indeed a significant determinant for the pattern of intergenerational co-residence. Our empirical results can provide interesting insights into the important implication of rising house price for household residential arrangements in this country.     

The effect of heterogeneous beliefs on mergers and acquisitions

This article investigates the effect of heterogeneous beliefs on firms’ mergers and acquisitions (M&A) decisions. Using data of China’s financial market, which is featured with great heterogeneity of belief, we find that heterogeneous beliefs are positively associated with the occurrence of M&A transactions, and firms with greater heterogeneous beliefs are more likely to pay the transactions with stock. Moreover, we show that government intervention, measured by state ownership, weakens the effect of heterogeneous beliefs on firms’ M&A decisions.     

Convergence analysis and optimal strike choice for static hedges of general path-independent pay-offs

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to find the optimal static replicating portfolios for general path-independent nonlinear pay-off functions and give an estimate for the rate of convergence that is absent in the literature. We choose the static replication by designing an adaptation function arising in the error bound between the nonlinear pay-off function and the linear spline approximation and derive the equidistribution equation for selecting the optimal strikes. The numerical tests for variance swaps, swaptions, static quadratic hedges and also for a jump-diffusion process, allowing for the default of the underlying asset, show that the proposed iterative equidistribution equation algorithm is simple, fast and accurate. The paper generalizes and improves the results on static replication and approximation in the literature.
