A study on risk retention regulation in asset securitization process

We study the impacts of the recently proposed risk retention regulation for asset securitization, i.e. the issuer has to retain a certain proportion of securitized assets. We also consider the frequently discussed measure to require the issuer disclose certain information of the securitized assets. In a dynamic model with asymmetric information between a risk-averse originating bank and a continuum of risk-averse investors, we find that it is impossible for a flat-rate retention requirement to be optimal for all asset types. Although both risk retention and information disclosure regulations are effective in reducing investors’ informational loss, neither can unconditionally enhance social welfare upon the unregulated case. For both measures, there are associated regulatory cost: risk retention regulation aggravates adverse selection problem because it undermines the channel of informational revelation by the choice of securitization intensity, and information disclosure requirement incurs a signalling cost by distorting banks’ securitization intensity in sending signals. Under an appropriate set of conditions we find that information disclosure requirement complements risk retention regulation when investors are sufficiently risk averse.     

Financialization of Housing in Brazil: New Frontiers

The financialization of housing has been increasingly identified as an important driver of social and economic change in contemporary capitalism. Focusing on the Brazilian context, this article considers the extent to which recent changes in housing regulations, policies and markets confirm or challenge narratives about the financialization of housing in the international academic debate. I argue that while many of the trends stressed in the literature are apparent, more extreme processes of financialization within the Brazilian housing sector remain limited––not only because of institutional and regulatory constraints, path dependence or political resistance, but also because of fundamental structural conditions of Brazil's position as a peripheral economy. Three different but mutually reinforcing processes are scrutinized in order to evaluate the financialization of housing and its limits in Brazil: the re‐regulation of the real estate financial sector initiated in the 1990s; the changing funding patterns among real estate companies since the mid‐2000s; and the increasing commodification of housing induced by a large‐scale and heavily subsidized housing program launched in 2009.

Intellectual Property Securitization and Growth Capital in Retail Franchising

A retail franchisor needs growth capital so that the brand continues to grow and franchisor–franchisee relations remain strong. However, access to corporate liquidity to fund such franchise growth options is not unlimited. A method of raising finance particularly suited to retail franchisors is intellectual property (IP) securitization that allows companies to account for intangible assets such as intellectual property, royalty and brands and realize their full value. In recent years, a number of large restaurant franchisors have securitized their brands to raise funds, including Dunkin Brands and Domino's Pizza (Domino's). We use property rights approach to show that IP securitization provides mechanisms that explicitly define ownership of intangible assets within the securitization structure and thus enables a company to raise funds against these assets. Using a case study example of a retail franchise IP securitization transaction, we also provide evidence that these mechanisms are not overly restrictive and can be used more widely to help fund retail franchise growth and expansion.     

我国资产证券化存在的问题及对策

资产证券化是目前世界上一种比较先进的融资模式。在我国资产证券化的初步实践中,存在诸如SPV主体法人资格、基础资产标准、资产真实出售、担保信用增级、会计处理、税收优惠、机构投资者准入等问题。要实现资产证券化在我国的健康、稳健发展,必须从完善法律、税收、会计、金融及监管制度等多方面着手解决以上问题。     

浅析可证券化的知识产权资产的选择

知识产权证券化运用的是资产证券化的操作技术,从逻辑上讲,被证券化的知识产权应该首先符合资产证券化中对资产的要求。由于知识产权作为一种无形资产所具有的特性,使之与传统的金融资产相比较,知识产权资产有其自身的特点。应该根据证券化对资产选择的标准,同时结合知识产权本身特有的属性确定可证券化的知识产权资产应具有的特征。

美国次贷危机对我国资产证券化路径的影响分析

随着2007年美国爆发的次贷危机不断深入,次贷危机已经升级为全球范围内的一场金融海啸。这场危机原本只是发端于美国的住房信贷市场,但其影响和范围却借助了资产证券化产品,辐射到全世界。资产证券化成为了产生蝴蝶效应的传导器和助推机。同时次贷危机已对我国资本市场和实体经济都产生了巨大的冲击,更对我国不断探索和推进的资产证券化进程产生了一定的影响。可以说次贷危机短期内必定会对我国的资产证券化形成一定的滞缓因素,但是,危机同时也对我国资产证券化进程带来积极的影响,从经验上、制度环境上以及人才引进上都是很大的推动因素。因此,我们不能因噎废食,更要积极抓住历史机遇,推动我国资产证券化进程的健康发展。
