经营性房屋租赁承祖人权益研究——以承租人权益的特殊保护为重心

经营性房屋租凭是房屋租赁的一种特殊类型，与居住性房屋租赁存在诸多区别，而我国有关于房屋租赁的法律主要立足于后者采取一体立法的模式，忽略了经营性房屋租赁的特殊性。一般租赁基本规则难以完全适用于经营性房屋租赁．导致了经营性房屋租赁承租人权益处于保护不利的局面，因此有必要在租赁用途、租赁权续展、租赁权转让方面给予特殊规制。     

共同遗嘱上的两难抉择及其立法应对

共同遗嘱,作为两个或两个以上的遗嘱人共同设立的同一份遗嘱,具有主体的复数性、撤销变更的非自由性以及生效时间的不等同性等特点。共同遗嘱是一种优劣互现的遗嘱形式,就我国而言,似以承认共同遗嘱为较优选择。构建我国共同遗嘱制度应针对其缺陷,在共同遗嘱主体、客体、内容、形式撤销与变更等问题上做专门性设计。     

Pricing of Foreign GAAP Earnings in U.S. Capital Market Prior to the SEC Required Reconciliation Disclosure

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires foreign registrants to include in their annual reports on Form 20-F reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of net income, earnings per share, and shareholders' equity, if materially different. Previous research indicates that foreign firms usually file their reports with the SEC near or at the deadline, that is six months after the fiscal year-end and about three months after the earnings announcement. The purpose of this study is to examine U.S. investors' ability to interpret foreign GAAP earnings before the SEC regulated disclosure becomes publicly available. Presented empirical evidence indicates that market participants are able to infer U.S. GAAP earnings from the foreign GAAP earnings at the time of initial earnings announcements.

基于主成分分析的我国新型城镇化质量评价

城镇化是现代化的必由之路,我国的城镇化进程在取得巨大成就的同时出现了严重的城镇化质量问题。本研究从新型城镇化的内涵出发,构建新型城镇化质量评价指标体系,采用主成分分析法对全国30个省市的城镇化发展质量进行综合评价。结果显示：我国30个省市间城镇化质量差异十分显著,高于城镇化速度体现的差异。从东中西部区域来衡量城镇化质量高低,可以看出,东部＞中部＞西部。从城镇化速度与城镇化质量的协调度来分析,可以看出我国城镇化可以划分为4种类型：“高——高”型,“高——低”型,“低——低”型,“低——高”型,文章最后针对不同类型的城镇化提出相应的政策建议。     

Bank funding structures and risk: Evidence from the global financial crisis

This paper analyzes the evolution of bank funding structures in the run up to the global financial crisis and studies the implications for financial stability, exploiting a bank-level dataset that covers about 11,000 banks in the U.S. and Europe during 2001–09. The results show that banks with weaker structural liquidity and higher leverage in the pre-crisis period were more likely to fail afterward. The likelihood of bank failure also increases with pre-crisis bank risk-taking. In the cross-section, the smaller domestically-oriented banks were relatively more vulnerable to liquidity risk, while the large cross-border (Global) banks were more vulnerable to solvency risk due to excessive leverage. In fact, a 3.5 percentage point increase in the pre-crisis capital buffers of Global banks would have caused a 48 percentage point in their probability of failure during the crisis. The results support the proposed Basel III regulations on structural liquidity and leverage, but suggest that emphasis should be placed on the latter, particularly for the systemically-important institutions. Macroeconomic and monetary conditions are also shown to be related with the likelihood of bank failure, providing a case for the introduction of a macro-prudential approach to banking regulation.     

Efficiency in IPO Issuance Processes?

Is the online auction an efficient mechanism for pricing initial public offerings (IPOs)? Its intent was to minimize first day price surges in IPOs, which represented “money left on the table” for issuers. Evidence from Google's IPO suggests that the online auction process may not have minimized the first day price surge, since 82 percent of the IPOs issued in 2004 using the traditional process experienced less of an increase. Furthermore, a comparison of auction IPOs with traditional IPOs issued in the same year and in the same threedigit SIC code suggests that 44 percent of the auction IPOs have greater first day price surges than their traditional counterparts. A broader comparison of the pricing behavior of auction IPOs with traditional IPOs presents a mixed picture and suggests that the size of underwriter may be an important factor. The mispricing that occurs in auctions may be due to an informational asymmetry on the part of small investors. This informational gap could arise because small investors lack access to the information sources that institutional investors have or because companies are not required to provide detailed information in the online process, inasmuch as they don't undergo the rigorous scrutiny of investment banks in the traditional bookbuilding process. This informational gap may be alleviated by the SEC reforms of the “quiet period” and by the issuer providing more detailed information on the uses of the funds.     

承销费用、政府定价管制与 IPO 抑价--来自中国首次公开发行公司的经验证据

选择2001年11月1日至2012年12月31日的中国A股IPO公司为研究样本,分析承销费用与IPO抑价之间的关系及其在政府定价管制程度不同情况下对承销费用与IPO抑价关系的影响。结果显示,承销费用与IPO抑价呈正相关关系;而政府定价管制程度的提高会削弱承销费用与IPO抑价之间的正相关关系,甚至会使其转向负相关关系。
