Institutional Cash Pools and the Triffin Dilemma of the U.S. Banking System

Through the profiling of institutional cash pools, this paper explains the rise of the “shadow” banking system from a demand‐side perspective. Explaining the rise of shadow banking from this angle paints a very different picture than the supply‐side angle that views it as a story of banks’ funding preferences and arbitrage. Institutional cash pools prefer to avoid too much unsecured exposure to banks even through insured deposits. Short‐term government guaranteed securities are the next best choice, but their supply is insufficient. The shadow banking system arose to fill this vacuum. One way to manage the size of the shadow banking system is by adopting the supply management of Treasury bills as a macroprudential tool.     

国库现金管理对我国货币政策的影响:一个实证分析

中央财政管理的国库资金是社会资金流量中的一个重要组成部分,对中央银行制定货币政策、调控货币供应量和公开市场操作都影响重大,在现代市场经济条件下,国库已成为连接财政和金融的窗口和桥梁,对财政政策和货币政策的有机配合发挥着重要的作用。本文以近年来我国正在开展的国库集中支付制度改革为背景,实证分析了国库现金管理对我国货币政策格局的影响,提出了我国进一步提高国库管理水平、加强货币政策管理的政策建议。     

国债回购利率模型的实证研究

波动率是利率期限结构模型的重要因素,基于CKLS模型并运用SV模型对对国债券市场中具有基准性质的市场利率国债回购利率波动性建模,运用Bayes方法对模型参数进行估计,效果良好。     

地方政府专项债券发行定价的影响因素测度

文章整理了2015—2020年中国地方政府专项债券的发行数据,研究地方财政和资本市场特征对专项债券发行定价的影响并进一步探究了项目收益专项债与普通专项债之间的定价差异。实证研究发现：地方政府专项债券自身特征、地方的财政经济和资本市场特征均体现了对债券发行定价的影响。特别的,市场货币供应增加能降低项目收益债与普通专项债之间的定价差异,而银行间拆借利率则会提高这一差异。分地区结果显示中西部地区政府性基金预算对普通专项债的信用担保能力较强,而对项目收益债的信用担保能力较弱增加了投资者对其预期收益融资自平衡的担忧。文章对专项债发行定价的影响因素进行研究,以期为完善专项债券发行制度、降低地方政府债务风险和融资成本提供借鉴。     

ACCOUNTABILITY AND VALUE FOR MONEY IN PRIVATE FINANCE INITIATIVE CONTRACTS

Within the context of New Public Management (NPM), successive UK governments have claimed that PFI projects provide more accountability, and arguably, more value for money (VFM) than conventional procurement for the public ( HM Treasury 1995, 2000, 2003a and 2003b ). However, recent empirical research in the UK on PFI has indicated its potential limitations for accountability and VFM ( Broadbent, Gill and Laughlin, 2004 ; Edwards, Shaoul, Stafford and Arblaster, 2004 ; Shaoul, 2005 ; and Ismail and Pendlebury, 2006 ) albeit these are based on either published accounts or a limited number of key stakeholders. This paper attempts to partially redress this gap in the literature by presenting an interesting case of the impact of PFI on accountability and VFM in Northern Ireland's education sector. The findings of this research, based on forty two interviews with a wide range of key stakeholders, suggest that stakeholders have different and often conflicting expectations and the actual PFI accountability and VFM benefits are much more obfuscated than those claimed in Government publications.     

全球次级债危机对我国债券市场信用评级的启示

由于现代金融体系的全球化,以及参与美国次级债券的投资机构众多,美国次级债危机很快在全球蔓延开来,逐步演变成了一场全球信用危机,而一贯被人们寄予厚望的信用评级机构在这场愈演愈烈的危机中却备受指责.这场全球性的信用危机为我国债券市场信用评级制度的完善提供了有益的启示.     

Estimation of the Economic Effect of Treasury Fund --Based on Extensive Multiplier Channel

基于扩展的乘数渠道理论,本文运用协整方法分析了中国国库资金与货币供应、经济增长之间是否具有均衡关系,并构建SVAR模型研究中国国库资金对货币供应和经济增长的动态影响。结果表明：中国国库资金对货币供应量M1与经济增长之间具有均衡效应。国库资金的增加虽然会导致货币供应量减少,但在政府支出财政乘数效应不断形成的作用下,其仍然对中国经济增长具有一定的正向推动作用。鉴于货币政策对经济增长的效应比国库资金变动的综合效应更为强烈和持久,国库资金的业务操作必须考虑如何适度避免对货币政策形成干扰。     

货币发行中买入国债与外汇的不同逻辑含义

买入国债和买入外汇的货币发行都以有价证券为担保,但其经济意义却相去甚远。买入外汇的货币发行能应对我国目前的经济问题,但是,因为采取这种发行方式的计划经济体制已经缺失,继续这种发行方式则会使我国管理层在缓解旧的矛盾的同时,面对新的更为严峻的挑战,所以买入外汇的货币发行方式一定要尽快向买入国债的货币发行方式转变。     

Recent progress in the empirical analysis of multi-unit auctions

I discuss some recent progress in the empirical analysis of multi-unit auctions, through which a number of important commodities (Treasury bills and bonds, electricity, emission permits, monetary infusions by some central banks) are allocated.     

巨灾债券与巨灾保险风险分散

巨灾债券,作为一种债权合同,相对于巨灾再保险而言,虽然是一个两极端产品,但在分散风险方面具有其不可比拟的优势。在大额损失时,巨灾债券是巨灾再保险的一种很好的替代产品。另外,巨灾风险债券的发行对巨灾再保险免赔额具有积极影响。
