未确认融资费用的实际利率摊销法研究——资金时间价值轴上的全新思路

本文从财务管理时间价值角度阐述未确认融资费用如何合理分摊的问题,提出了与一般会计实务教材标准解法完全相反的思路,得到了相同的效果,并对两种解题思路作了详细的比较分析,并在此基础上提出有关会计计量的若干假说。     

A theoretical analysis of optimal financing strategies for different types of capital-constrained entrepreneurs

In this paper, we compare two alternative financing strategies that capital-constrained entrepreneurs can adopt: they can either wait until they raised enough money to complete their project (the more conservative strategy) or use limited resources to achieve some intermediate milestone before contacting large outside investors such as venture capitalists (the more adventurous strategy). We examine how the choice of financing strategy is affected by entrepreneurial types (life-style, serial and pure profit-maximizing entrepreneur). We show that specific entrepreneurial characteristics may ultimately affect the shape of firms as they may pursue different strategies to achieve similar goals. The paper generates a number of empirical predictions on security design, the interplay between angel and venture capital finance, and the professionalization of the venture capital market.     

Effect of diversification on capital structure

Previous empirical financial studies have paid little attention to the role of diversification strategy on financial choices. This study analyses the financing strategies of multibusiness firms, suggesting the relevance of sorting the diversification phenomena into its related and unrelated components. The implications of our findings are important because they explain earlier contradictory results on capital‐structure determinants and offer an explanation of how the degree of product specialization/diversification and the direction of diversification (related or unrelated) translate into different corporate financial behaviours.     

The Economics of State Subsidies in Early Stage Financing

We analyze the effect of state subsidies on early stage investments. In a two‐period investment model with incomplete stage financing contracts, we describe optimal and second‐best investment levels. Optimality depends on external effects: given that private early stage financing generates positive external effects, the subsidies might be designed to use scarce state money most efficiently to mobilize private investment capital. However, a subsidy might also contribute to greater efficiency of the contractual relationship itself without regard to external effects. Refinancing subsidies can be optimal under both perspectives and are always optimal under last of the two approaches. The comparison of the main types of subsidies, i.e. refinancing subsidies, guarantees and direct investments, speaks against the use of guarantees. Finally, we show that our results do also hold if some investors (e.g. venture capitalists) have a superior screening capability.     

我国高速公路建设融资问题初探

高速公路建设的迅速发展 ,使得项目融资矛盾日益突出。一方面是以财政拨款方式为主的融资渠道无法满足高速公路建设的需要 ;一方面是大量民间资本和国际资本无法顺畅地进入国内高速公路建设市场。文章提出并论证了运用BOT融资和资产证券化 (ABS)方式 ,通过有效地引入国际资本和拓宽民间资本的投资渠道 ,来解决高速公路的资金供需矛盾 ,同时提出加强和完善相应的法律法规是保证BOT融资和资产证券化顺利实施的关键所在。     

我国新型农村合作医疗发展现状及对策

本文利用《中国卫生统计年鉴》中的新型农村合作医疗情况数据,对我国新农村合作医疗发展状况进行研究,结果表明,我国新农合基本实现全覆盖,但新农合筹资水平与保障水平偏低.受地区经济发展水平、政府补贴不同的影响,各地区之间新农合发展存在差异.并提出根据各地区的经济水平,实施动态筹资水平,进一步完善医疗保险统计制度方法,增加数据透明度等手段来促进新农合发展.     

Financing R&D in mature companies: An empirical analysis

We study financing patterns of publicly traded R&D-intensive manufacturing firms in Israel. We further characterize R&D-intensive firms by size, physical capital intensity, and whether they issued stocks in the United States, asking whether these features are associated with particular financing patterns. To address these issues, we present, for the first time, adjusted flow of funds charts that treat R&D expenses as a capital outlay (rather than an operating cost that reduces profits, as standard accounting principles prescribe). We also address the question of how R&D inputs should be measured - using R&D expenses or R&D personnel. We construct both expenditure- and personnel-based R&D measures for each firm in our sample, and investigate to what extent these measures are mutually consistent.     

预算软约束与风险偏好强化：非均衡式创新中的风险点识别研究

计划经济体制导致资源使用效率低下,社会中存在大量非均衡市场和领域,这为中国企业实施均衡式创新创造了条件。随着均衡式创新的帕累托改进空间逐渐缩小,利用非均衡式创新提升资源使用效率已刻不容缓。在非均衡式创新过程中,政府极易侵入社会主体创新边界,导致创新租值降低或耗散。政府对创新主体的财政资金扶持容易对创新预算形成软约束,导致创新目标替代,强化创新主体的风险偏好,放大创新系统风险,诱发俘获政府行为,最终导致创新企业逆向淘汰。因此,明确政府在创新活动中的边界与风险,对我国实施创新驱动发展战略至关重要。     

人口老龄化必然导致资本替代劳动吗

经济学理论认为,人口老龄化会导致劳动力成本上升,从而改变企业的要素结构、通过资本替代劳动的方式应对,但不同类型的企业对老龄化做出的反应可能存在差异,需要进行深入分析。文章利用中国工业企业数据对上述问题进行了研究,实证结果显示：整体来看,人口老龄化显著提高了企业的资本劳动比,但资本劳动比的上升并不一定表现为资本对劳动的替代。在规模较大、融资约束较轻的企业,老龄化促使其用固定资产投资替代了劳动,但在规模较小和融资约束程度较为严重的企业,人口老龄化并没有显著提高其固定资产投资,只是缩小了其劳动力雇佣规模,说明企业规模和融资约束是影响企业要素结构升级的重要因素。此外,文章还发现人口老龄化主要促使企业利用资本替代低技能劳动力,而人口老龄化的资本替代劳动效应在资本密集型、生产率水平较高和非出口企业中更为显著。文章从微观企业投资视角拓展了人口老龄化的经济效应的研究范畴,并通过规模效应和融资约束角度分析了制约工业企业提高智能化生产程度的因素,从而对传统的见解提供了有益的补充。文章的研究结论能够为政府制定积极应对人口老龄化和助力企业要素结构升级的相关政策提供经验证据的支持。     

What prevents consumers that are aware of Airbnb from using the platform? A mixed methods approach

The hospitality sector is now characterised by the co-existence of traditional providers and sharing economy enterprises. It is important to better understand what prevents the use of peer-to-peer accommodation rentals in the tourism marketplace. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, this study first examines travellers’ Airbnb use constraints, and then profiles 252 Airbnb non-users based on their constraints and characteristics. The findings suggest that travellers do not use Airbnb because of distrust in the providers, in the platform and in other users, as well as perceived risk and unfamiliarity. Loss of service quality, lack of local experience, legal and regulatory issues, and disinterest also prevented consumers to book Airbnb accommodations. A cluster analysis divided non-users into three segments: Traditional travellers, Sharing economy misbelievers and Airbnb prospective users. Significant differences based on age confirmed that young travellers are more confident in using peer-to-peer accommodation platforms and more interested in the philosophy.
