对外担保与企业创新投入

在实施创新驱动发展的战略背景下,结合对外担保广泛存在的现状,本文以2008—2019年沪深两市上市公司为样本,根据风险转移理论和代理理论,从创新资源和创新意愿两个维度,理论分析和实证检验了对外担保对企业创新投入的影响及其作用机理。结果表明,对外担保显著降低了企业创新投入,该影响在非国有企业和技术密集型企业更为显著。在控制内生性影响后,该作用依然存在。进一步剖析内在作用机理发现,一方面,对外担保通过提高债务融资成本和增强融资约束,迫使企业削减创新投入;另一方面,对外担保还通过提高大股东代理成本和降低股权激励力度,削弱大股东和高管的创新意愿并最终减少企业创新投入。     

地方政府债务、金融营商环境与实体企业融资约束

文章基于“财政金融关联”视角,利用2015至2020年省级层面的面板数据,实证检验了地方政府债务、金融营商环境与实体企业融资约束三者间的作用效果。研究结果表明：地方政府债务与企业融资约束存在正向推高关系,而良好的金融营商环境对实体企业融资约束存在负向抑制关系;异质性检验显示,地方政府债务对民营实体企业、中西部实体企业融资约束的推高作用更强;交互效应结果显示,金融营商环境的优化能有效缓解地方政府债务对实体企业融资约束的推高作用。因此,提出改善地区金融营商环境、对差异化企业性质实施优惠帮扶政策以及严控地方政府隐性债务增量是缓解实体企业融资困境,促进地区经济平稳发展的重要措施。     

地方政府投融资平台研究综述

2008年金融危机以来,我国实施经济刺激计划使地方政府投融资平台数量和规模得到了迅猛的发展。地方政府投融资平台对地方经济发展作出了巨大的贡献,同时也累积了巨大的风险。本文对地方政府投融资平台的国内外相关文献作了梳理和评述,以期对未来相关领域的深入研究有所裨益。     

Altruism and egoism in investment decisions

We provide survey evidence that personal values have an impact on individual investment decisions, in particular preferences for socially responsible investing. Our findings show that there is a positive link between altruistic values and the relative importance of social responsibility. This effect is stronger when individuals believe that they can make a positive social or environmental impact with their investments, or when they feel morally obliged to invest responsibly. If altruistic individuals associate responsible investments with higher returns, it decreases their motivation to invest responsibly. Egoistic values are negatively associated with the decision to invest responsibly, unless individuals associate responsible investing with higher returns.     

房贷政策、融资结构与财务绩效--基于129家房地产上市公司的证据

目前我国房地产上市公司资产负债率的均值介于[64%~67%]之间,如此高的资产负债率对公司财务绩效有很大的影响。从债务融资结构角度出发,结合当前我国房地产上市公司的实际,实证分析的结果为：我国房地产上市公司最优的短期借款率介于[17.8%~24.9%]之间,长期借款率与财务绩效并不存在显著的线性、二次、三次方关系,最优的房屋预售款率应介于[30.7%~41.9%]之间,商业信用率应控制在[0~42.8%]之间,同时,财务绩效与企业债券率呈正相关。因此,优化房地产上市公司债务融资结构应该合理协调债务融资结构中各个指标的比率,充分利用房贷政策及时调整融资手段、积极发行中期票据,适当运用税务筹划手段,建立适应政府宏观调控和市场变化的内部融资机制。

关于中小企业融资难、融资贵问题的思考

中小企业融资难融资贵是个世界性难题,我国的中小企业融资难融资贵问题则又带有鲜明的中国特色。中小企业天生具有融资难和融资贵的特点,信息不对称更会加剧此问题。无论是发达国家还是发展中国家都将解决中小企业融资难融资贵问题提升到战略高度给予重视,也构建了各具特色的政策扶助体系,力图弥补市场机制的缺陷。我国应借鉴国外的成熟经验,并结合国内金融改革的路径、金融市场发展的思路以及实体经济发展的总体特点,制定一个兼顾短期、中期和长期的发展战略,从法治、产业、财政和金融等多方面对中小企业融资环境进行综合改革。     

Predicting European Takeover Targets

This article extends the Palepu (1986) acquisition likelihood model by incorporating measures of a technical nature, e.g. momentum, trading volume as well as a measure of market sentiment. We use the proposed model to predict takeover targets in a large sample of European and cross‐border merger and acquisition deals and validate its performance on an in‐ and out‐of‐sample basis. The robustness of the proposed model is investigated across several dimensions. In addition we explore the ability of the model to form the basis of successful takeover timing investment strategies. The results of our empirical analysis suggest that the proposed model predicts European takeover targets with relatively high accuracy and is able to determine portfolios that earn significant returns which are not explained by conventional risk factors.

Investor behaviour and reaching for yield: Evidence from the sterling corporate bond market

We provide evidence on how corporate bond investors react to a change in yields, and how this behaviour differs in times of market‐wide stress. We also investigate ‘reaching for yield’ across investor types, as well as providing insights into the structure of the corporate bond market. Using proprietary sterling corporate bond transaction data, we show that insurance companies, hedge funds and asset managers are typically net buyers when corporate bond yields rise. Dealer banks clear the market by being net sellers. However, we find evidence for this behaviour reversing in times of stress for some investors. During the 2013 ‘taper tantrum’, asset managers were net sellers of corporate bonds in response to a sharp rise in yields, potentially amplifying price changes. At the same time, dealer banks were net buyers. Finally, we provide evidence that insurers, hedge funds and asset managers tilt their portfolios towards higher risk bonds, consistent with ‘reaching for yield’ behaviour.
