Investing against the wind: contagion during the recent financial crisis

This article examines the effect of Warren Buffett’s investment in Goldman Sachs on 24 September 2008, during the subprime mortgage crisis. Although this event is arguably perceived to be the biggest expression of confidence in the financial market during the crisis, by conducting event studies, we do not find the major counterparties of Goldman Sachs displayed positive abnormal returns. Moreover, the abnormal return is not significantly related to the counterparty connection. We have similar findings on these financial institutions’ default probabilities using credit default swap.     

人民币汇率变动对企业投资的影响:资产负债表效应再研究

本文分析表明,本币贬值（升值）对企业投资产生负向（正向）资产负债表效应,且该效应随企业违约可能性和全球流动资金充裕度的变化而变化。同时,人民币汇率变动通过外部融资和现金持有两个机制影响企业投资。本文使用中国非金融上市企业的外币债券发行数据构建计量模型进行了经验分析。此外,人民币汇率变动的资产负债表效应对未持有外债的企业也会产生溢出效应。本文研究结论表明,中国需要重视评估人民币汇率变动通过跨境资本流动对投资产生的影响。     

Heterogeneity effects from market interventions

The aim of this paper is to test whether the European Commission activities generate a heterogeneity effect on the merging parties. A sample of 74 firms involved in 45 contested merger and acquisition operations during the years 1990 to 1999 is used. The methodology is based on the GARCH framework. The main result is that, globally, the DGC interventions seem not to reduce significantly the heterogeneity among investors, except for the operations where it takes strong decisions like prohibition. In these last cases, the signal coming from the DGC encompasses valuable information and is well understood by market participants.     

公司内部人具有交易时机的选择能力吗?——来自中国上市公司内部人卖出股票的证据

本文以内部人卖出股票的交易为对象,研究发现从短窗口来看,上市公司内部人卖出本公司股票时表现出很强的时机把握能力。回归分析发现,在卖出股票时,除董事长和总经理外的内部董事和经理的超常回报显著高于监事和独立董事,董事长和总经理的超常回报可能低于监事和独立董事;内部人本人交易的超常回报显著高于内部人直系亲属;小规模公司内部人的超常回报显著高于大规模公司内部人;国有控股公司内部人的超常回报可能高于其他公司内部人。本文经验证据表明,内部人的时机选择能力可能来自于其掌握的非公开信息,且受公司信息透明度影响。     

A Performance Comparison Between Cross-Sectional Stochastic Dominance and Traditional Event Study Methodologies

In this study, the performance of cross-sectional stochastic dominance (SD), first proposed by Falk and Levy (FL) (1989), is compared with three traditional event study methodologies: the Mean Adjusted model, the Market Adjusted model, and the Market and Risk Adjusted Returns model. The comparison technique we use is a simulations approach similar to that of Brown and Warner (BW) (1980). BW show that the Mean Adjusted and Market Adjusted Returns models perform as well as the more sophisticated Market and Risk Adjusted Returns model. FL, however, provide a very compelling argument against the three traditional event study methodologies. The problem, they note, is not the theoretical need for risk adjustment; it is the definition and measurement of risk. FL assert that the observed abnormal returns (or lack thereof) may be due to omitted variables, a market proxy effect, or other specification errors in implementing the traditional event study methodologies.The present research finds that SD analysis without the bootstrap method for statistical testing is not very useful at any level of abnormal return. However, when the bootstrap method of statistical testing is employed, SD is found to perform as well as, and sometimes better than, the three traditional models in detecting simulated abnormal performance at all test levels. The results are consistent with FL's assertion that the improved performance may result from the SD methodology being free from the specification errors inherent in the three traditional event study models.     

500kV HGIS断路器异响原因分析与处理

概述500 kV中枢变电站发生500 kV复合式气体绝缘组合电器（HGIS）断路器在热备用状态下出现短时异响事件的过程。对该断路器于检修现场进行常规检查,机械特性试验,SF6气体组分分析,特高频、超声波局放检测,X射线成像,发现其内部传动拐臂结构异常且有零部件脱落。返厂解体以及对传动结构、均压电容器、弧触头等诊断性检修试验表明,传动转轴卡簧挡圈未装配到位是异响形成的根本原因。最后,对产生异响的原因以及处理过程进行分析总结,提出了针对性的建议与举措。     

中国再生资源价格长期波动特征及其对经济的影响研究

尽管再生资源在工业生产中替代原生资源的比例逐渐升高,但对再生资源价格波动的特征及对经济的影响尚缺乏研究。本文以再生铜为例,采用GRACH族模型分析发现,我国再生铜价格的波动存在一定集聚性和持续性,价格波动比较缓慢。且负向冲击对再生铜价格波动的影响比正向冲击大,存在显著的杠杆效应。此外,再生铜价波动具有显著的GARCH-M效应,即预期的风险对再生铜价格波动具有正向影响。然后采用VAR模型和脉冲响应函数等方法,引入产出、投资、消费和通货膨胀率变动等宏观经济变量,定量分析了再生资源价格波动与中国经济之间的关系。检验结果表明：再生铜价作为建筑业重要的生产资料,其价格上涨短期内促使GDP增长,但长期则抑制投资,最终可能影响GDP增长并提高通货膨胀率,即再生铜价格上涨对国家经济发展有不利影响。本文的实证结果揭示出,对中国经济的影响而言,废旧金属价格的变动只是某种表象,经济增长和通货膨胀率变动的背后是更为复杂的原因,问题的实质是以固定投资拉动经济增长的发展模式和部分地区对房地产业过度依赖的产业结构的变化等对中国经济产生的根本性的影响。
