新巴塞尔协议框架下的信用风险缓释技术

信用风险缓释技术(Credit Risk Mitigation Techniques,CRMT)在新巴塞尔协议中占有相当重要地位,是新巴塞尔协议降低资本要求的主要方法。本文对新巴塞尔协议有关信用风险缓释技术的核心内容进行了梳理、归纳和概括,在此基础上探讨了当前国内商业银行加强担保抵押管理应该采取的几点措施:一是要建立严格的担保抵押管理程序和操作要求;二是要强化对担保抵押的全过程动态连续监管;三是要控制风险缓释技术本身所带来的剩余风险;四是要在风险缓释工具和借款人之间建立有效的隔离。     

碳中和表现能改善企业投资效率吗?

绿色低碳战略愿景下,碳中和管理是关系全球气候变化风险应对与经济社会可持续发展的重大议题,但少有文献从实证研究角度探究微观企业碳中和进程的经济效益。以2019—2022年我国沪深A股上市公司及华证碳中和评级为样本,实证考察碳中和表现对企业投资效率的有效性。研究发现：良好的碳中和表现具有投资激励作用,其能够改善企业投资效率。影响机制分析表明,碳中和表现优势能够发挥信息促进效应、代理成本缓释效应和融资约束缓释效应,以此积极影响企业投资效率。异质性检验发现,碳中和表现对投资效率的积极影响在高碳行业、数字化程度较高和市场监督环境较差的企业中更明显。在碳中和评级监管的外部性方面,碳中和表现赋能的投资效率促进作用具有行业溢出效应。     

农业供应链金融视角的农户信贷约束缓解效应研究——来自湖南农户的经验证据

采用多元多值非条件Logistic回归方法,依据湖南省50个县(市、区)1059个农户样本数据,考察农业供应链金融对农户信贷约束的缓解效应。结果显示：农户参与农业供应链金融能够缓解供给型与需求型农户信贷约束,缓解效应随着农户收入增长、金融发展和农户社会资本提升而减弱,机制检验证实了信息对称、信用等级、交易成本、抵押替代在缓解农户信贷约束过程中起到部分中介效应。鉴于此,需要在创新模式、优化环境以及加强引导上着力发展农业供应链金融。

Who is afraid of the Ebola outbreak? The influence of discrete emotions on risk perception

The appraisal tendency framework (ATF) suggests that discrete emotions mediate the relationship between cognitive appraisals and behaviors. Based on the ATF, this study analyzed and found that fear, anger, anxiety, disgust, and sadness were positively related to the US public’s risk perception about the Ebola outbreak. Fear was also found to inhibit the degree to which systematic processing of the relevant risk information influenced participants’ support for institutional mitigation measures such as sending more health professionals to help countries in West Africa deal with the Ebola outbreak. The result partially confirms the ATF and offers important practical implications in regard to the communication of emergent public health crises.     

Associations between risk judgments and demand for transport risk mitigation

The present study tested a hypothesized model regarding associations between risk sensitivity, risk perception, transport priorities, worry, and demand for risk mitigation in transport. An additional aim was to investigate differences in risk perception, worry, risk sensitivity, transport priorities, and demand for risk mitigation in age-groups, gender, and educational levels. A mail survey was conducted in a representative sample of the Norwegian public over 18?years (n?=?1947) in 2008. The response rate was 31%. The results showed that transport priorities were the strongest predictor of demand for risk mitigation. Risk perception seems to be mediated by worry. Risk sensitivity was directly associated with transport risk perception and, not as predicted, also directly with demand for risk mitigation. The two youngest age-groups (18–30 and 31–50?years) perceived the probabilities of transport accidents in private transportation as significantly larger and also judged other nontransport risks to be larger than those over 50?years of age. The youngest age-group was more worried about injuries from private transportation, but reported lower demands for risk mitigation. The findings merit further research into the relationship between risk perception and demand for risk mitigation. The results indicated that younger individuals were more worried about injuries and assessed the probability of accidents to be larger, while they report a lower demand for risk mitigation compared to older age-groups.     

Distinguishing attributes of high-growth ventures

Since the late 1990s, executives have been warned that explosive company growth is essential to producing superior financial performance. For executives who recognize that this contention accurately describes their situation and want to upgrade their competitive capabilities, the challenge is planning to grow fast while understanding and avoiding the risk of fast failure. In this article, we identify promising competitive strategies by studying businesses that have sought high-growth and succeeded in achieving it. The dataset consists of the fastest growing new ventures in the U.S. as selected for the Inc. 500. The results of a quantitative and qualitative analysis show that these businesses rely on different combinations of attributes related to advanced technology, market aggressiveness, and functional excellence. We discuss 12 of these attributes and look at the demographic characteristics of the Inc. 500 and their implications for new venture creation.     

The economics of managing carbon via forestry: Assessment of existing studies

The purpose of this paper is to assess the existing studies on the economics of using forests as a means of mitigating atmospheric carbon build-up. This assessment addresses conceptual and empirical issues and provides a basis for a comprehensive and cost efficient forest management strategy. Critical needs and opportunities for future research are identified.     

The evolution of corporate no net loss and net positive impact biodiversity commitments: Understanding appetite and addressing challenges

The World Economic Forum has identified biodiversity loss as an increasingly significant and impactful risk facing business. However, businesses themselves can negatively impact on biodiversity. Recognizing this, a number of companies have developed their own biodiversity commitments, including those to achieve a no net loss (NNL) or net positive impact (NPI) on biodiversity by balancing or outweighing any negative impacts through mitigation activities. We reviewed corporate‐level NNL and NPI commitments over the last two decades to establish the extent of their adoption, retraction, and scientific foundation. Between 2001 and 2016, 66 companies had made NNL/NPI environmental commitments. Thirty three of these 66 companies made specific biodiversity commitments. The numbers of companies making commitments increased in that period. However, some commitments were retracted, or their status became unclear, leaving only 18 companies with active NNL/NPI biodiversity commitments in 2016. Added to this, many of the commitments are lacking science‐based criteria that would allow more transparent and systematic assessment of corporate activities. Thus, although commitments are being made, they may not be delivering as intended. To secure real biodiversity gains, we recommend advancing methods to assess biodiversity risks to businesses, and using science‐based criteria to deepen corporate commitments and actions. Concerted effort from all sectors is needed to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, and the “biodiversity policy super‐year” of 2020 is the perfect moment for business to deliver through well‐framed and implemented commitments to biodiversity NPI.
