The role of market imperfections in the relationship between housing prices and household credit: Evidence from Taiwan

Given the credit market imperfections in Taiwan, this paper examines the threshold effects in the adjustment towards the long‐run equilibrium relationship between housing prices and household credit. The empirical findings verify the potential for regime shifts in the dynamically adjusted relationship between housing prices and household credit. Only when the benefits cover the cost of market imperfections, do housing and credit markets trigger convergence to their long‐run equilibrium. The hidden effect of the limitations on housing and credit markets is to raise the thresholds of the self‐adjustment mechanisms. As a result, economic boom‐bust cycles will be more severe and increase the fragility of financial sectors.     

策略性管理授权下混寡模型中的税收选择——基于公营厂商视角

在公营厂商经营效率低于私营厂商的假设条件下,公营厂商作为一般经济体,与私营厂商并无区别。文章则放松这一假设,并将公营厂商视为兼顾自身利润和消费者剩余的经济体。加入考量公营厂商对其经理人选择管理授权后,通过设计具有一般性反需求函数的三阶段非合作赛局,求解子博弈完美均衡从而得到最优税率并且最大化社会福利。研究发现,如果公营厂商对其经理人的策略性管理授权接近于政府的目标函数,而且公营厂商所有者没有全部占有消费者剩余,那么,相对于混和寡占模型中的私营厂商和传统古诺竞争而言,政府对公营厂商课税的最适税率较低反而有利于增加社会福利。     

New evidence about regional income divergence in China

There are many empirical studies trying to test if there is income convergence across the provinces of China. In this paper, we bring new information to the current literature by applying non-linear panel unit root test of Exponential Smooth Auto-Regressive Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ESTAR-ADF) unit root test developed by Cerrato et al. (2008) to the time series data for the period 1952–2003. The number of converging provinces decreases in the post-reform period when using panel ESTAR-ADF test. Furthermore, our results find evidence of increasing regional disparity that has been prevailing in China since the open door economic reforms of the late 1970s, which confirms the view of Pedroni and Yao (2006) that interprovincial inequalities have been widening since 1978.In addition, we also examine the determinants of conditional convergence in China. The results indicate that low inflation, transport and telecommunication infrastructure, and trade openness could stimulate economic growth in China. Human capital also play a significant role in growth, and it exhibits non-linearity between human capital and growth in the sense that at low levels of human capital the effect on growth is negative and became positive at middle levels.

The determinants of equity agency conflicts between managers and shareholders: Evidence from Australia

We analyse the determinants of equity agency costs for the top 500 Australian listed firms. Data are collected over four one-year periods (2004, 2005, 2010 and 2011) and analysed using both pooled OLS regression and two stage least squares regression within a random effects panel data model. Analysis covers the full four-year period, the pre global financial crisis (GFC) sub-period (2004 and 2005) and the post GFC sub-period (2010 and 2011). Shareholding, board characteristics and debt financing are found to have an impact on agency costs though there is evidence of some change in these relations with the onset of the GFC, particularly with respect to the impact of insider ownership and board size.     

Vietnam's Economy, After the Asian Economic Crisis

The year 1989 marked an important turning point in Vietnam: the market mechanism began to take the place of centrally-planned resource allocation. To secure sustainable economic growth at a high level, Vietnam needs further comprehensive reform towards a market economy. The paper argues that the Asian crisis should not be blamed for the recent slowing of the economy. It also raises some other questions, in particular whether the government is still trying to fit the market mechanism into a socialist model.

基于信号传递假说的上市公司股票送转财务效应研究

基于信号传递假说,选取在沪深两市上市的2003～2009年期间实施了送股、转增或股票送转的A股上市公司作为样本,对上市公司股票送转财务效应进行实证分析。研究表明:一方面,上市公司实施股票送转的确存在财务效应,盈利能力、发展能力、资产管理能力与偿债能力在公司实施股票送转后均显著增强,但是整体而言,股票送转的财务效应存在一定的滞后性,一般为一个季度;另一方面,上市公司股票送转的财务效应强度与送转比成正比例关系,且财务效应的强度也随着公司的盈利能力与成长性的增长而增强。
