基于内生经济增长理论的中国地方政府最优规模估计

政府基本职能是为社会提供公共产品,相当的政府规模是确保政府履行其职能的基础,同时,政府行为又是弥补市场功能缺陷、降低交易费用的制度安排。本文拟通过扩展的内生增长模型,在理论上分析对相应于经济增长的政府最优规模的存在性,并利用计量方法估计中国地方政府最优规模,探讨基于财政分权体制下中国地方政府规模扩张的成因及相对应的政策建议。     

跨国公司在华投资中的撤资问题分析

长期以来,我国在外资工作中一直强调招商引资的重要性,相关政策法规也多偏向于引资方面,而对于与引资相伴而生的撤资问题则研究不多。随着跨国公司对华投资的不断增加,撤资问题也逐渐显现,并对我国的就业、经济、外贸等诸多方面产生了深刻的影响。如何正确认识这一现象,并采取有力措施加以预防和控制,已成为摆在我国政府面前亟待解决的问题。     

The effect of government industrial policies on corporate accounting conservatism

This study examines whether and how firms adjust their accounting conservatism in response to government support through industrial policies, which reduce firms’ dependence on external financing from the capital market. Based on China’s unique economic programme called ‘Five-Year Plan’ from 1991 to 2015, we observe a decline in accounting conservatism among firms covered by government industrial policies. The decline is more pronounced in covered firms, which face higher ex-ante financial constraints, and in the subsample of firms which receive higher government support. These findings are robust to alternative specifications of accounting conservatism and policy timing. Our evidence implies that government industrial policies can have unintended consequences for corporate financial reporting.

部门规章制定主体范围的规范阐释及立法完善

部门规章制定主体应满足承担行政管理职能和维护政令统一的宪法要求。现行《立法法》第80条第1款虽合乎宪法规定,其规范效力却面临挑战。一是在规章制定权的设定上,单行法授予规章制定权与该款形成“双轨制”,不利于法制统一。二是该款规定的具体范围有待完善,行使行政管理职能的党政合署机构、国务院直属事业单位和直属特设机构制定规章的法律依据亦需明确。当前,应遵循宪法所确定的原则,通过修改《立法法》扩大部门规章制定主体的范围,并明确法条授权的功能在于提供事项范围上的依据,建立规范、系统、科学的部门规章制定主体体系。据此,《立法法》在条文设计上需要增设党政合署机构规章条款,并调整国务院部门规章制定主体范围的表述。

Do Chinese firms benefit from government ownership following cross-border acquisitions?

Chinese firms’ increasing cross-border acquisitions (CBAs) in recent years seem to challenge the explanatory power of received theories of multinational enterprise (MNE) due to their relatively unique characteristics and the active role of the Chinese government. In this study, we seek to revisit and contextualize the OLI paradigm in conjunction with the institution-based view and examine how Chinese firms’ post-CBA long term performance is associated with government ownership. Our study shows that Chinese firms with more government ownership demonstrate better post-CBA long term performance. However, the above relationship is differentially moderated by such firm-level boundary conditions as political connections and financial slack, and the country-level institutional boundary conditions (i.e., the host country formal institutions and the home-host country cultural distance). We discuss our findings in detail and explore theoretical and practical implications for both Chinese firms and other emerging economy (EE) firms.     

Major government customers and stock price crash risk

This paper studies whether government’s participation in product market, as a customer, affects supplier firms’ stock price crash risk. Using a sample of U.S. firms from 1980 to 2015, we find robust evidence that the presence of major government customers is associated with a lower level of stock price crash risk for supplier firms. Further, we show that government customers can lower suppliers’ crash risk by imposing monitoring activities on suppliers and/or reducing suppliers’ operational risk, leading to a reduction in supplier managers’ bad news hoarding behavior. Overall, our results indicate that government spending, as an important public policy, can significantly affect shareholders’ value by mitigating stock price crash risk.     

Do board directors affect the export propensity and export performance of Korean firms? A resource dependence perspective

Using the Heckman two-stage method, this study empirically investigates whether board directors’ work experience in government and multinational corporations (MNCs), as well as the proportion of outside directors affects export propensity and export performance based on a sample of Korean firms. We find that the Korean firms with former government officials on the board are more likely to engage in exporting, although there is no empirical evidence supporting export performance. The findings also show that firms with former MNC employees on the board demonstrate higher levels of export propensity and export performance. Similarly, firms with a higher proportion of outside directors exhibit a higher level of export propensity and export performance. These findings highlight the importance of the board of directors in Korean firms’ first stage of internationalization and provide new insights into which type of board members can benefit their firms in terms of export propensity and export performance.
