Back on the balance sheet: The tax effects of contingent claims in commercial banking

Contingent claims separate revenue and cost into two different time periods. Revenue comes in the initial origination process, while the cost comes upon completion of the contract in the event of default. With banks increasing contingent claims in recent years, a higher taxable income leads to a shift in a bank's balance sheet toward tax-free income and tax-shielding liabilities. This provides a valuable case-study of corporate finance theories of tax management. This paper builds a model to illustrate the income features of contingent claims. Call Reports from 1990-1996 are examined, and show significant evidence of increases in leverage associated with contingent claims.     

Human capital and earnings distribution dynamics

Earnings heterogeneity plays a crucial role in modern macroeconomics. We document that mean earnings and measures of earnings dispersion and skewness all increase in US data over most of the working life-cycle for a typical cohort as the cohort ages. We show that (i) a human capital model can replicate these properties from the right distribution of initial human capital and learning ability, (ii) differences in learning ability are essential to produce an increase in earnings dispersion over the life cycle and (iii) differences in learning ability account for the bulk of the variation in the present value of earnings across agents. These findings emphasize the need to further understand the role and origins of initial conditions.

股权集中度与公司绩效——以浙江省上市公司为例

本文以浙江省上市公司为研究对象,首先运用描述统计方法分析浙江省上市公司经营现状;其次本文运用多元线性回归方法,利用浙江省各上市公司对外公布的年报数据,采用反映上市公司股权集中度与公司绩效的多个变量,对浙江省上市公司股权集中度与公司绩效作回归研究。通过实证分析来研究浙江省上市公司的股权集中度与公司绩效间的相互关系,为改善浙江省上市公司治理结构、提升公司绩效提出合理化建议。     

Local Officials＇ Incentives and China＇s Economic Growth： Tournament Thesis Reexamined and Alternative Explanatory Framework

To explain China's dramatic economic growth, researchers have proposed a “tournament thesis.” According to this thesis, the central government's ability to set growth targets has played a crucial role in growth since political promotion is largely based on local economic growth. We use provincial officials' career mobility data to test this thesis. For both time periods (1979–1995 and 1979–2002), economic performance, measured in annual, average and relative terms, did not affect these officials' career advancement. We then sketch an alternative analytical framework to explain Chinese local officials' strong urge for developmentalism and, finally, draw policy implications from this explanatory framework.     

谈“3＋1”信用管理模式在中储粮轮换贸易中的运用

随着中储粮深度介入粮食市场经济的大潮,信用管理模式的推行呼之欲出。信用管理在中央直属粮库还是一个新课题。中央直属粮库需要运用信用评估机制、债权保障机制、帐款管理和债权追讨机制以及构架信用管理组织结构等方式来实现良好的信用管理模式。     

基于Khatri-Rao积的3D MU-MIMO预编码方法

为了解决下行三维(3D)多用户(Multi-User,MU)多输入多输出(MIMO)系统中的共信道干扰问题,提出了一种基于Khatri-Rao积的3D预编码方法。该方法首先产生离线码本,然后各用户分别选择与水平维和垂直维信道最匹配的的码字并将其反馈给基站端,最后,根据提出的Khatri-Rao积基站端构造3D预编码矩阵,对不同用户数据进行处理。理论分析和仿真结果表明,该方法可有效地匹配真实信道状态信息(CSI),而且可有效地抑制共信道干扰,提升系统误码性能,对系统的性能优化有一定的参考价值。
