媒体报道、投资者情绪与IPO抑价——来自创业板的证据

以2009年10月创业板开板以来至2011年3月底的所有创业板IPO公司为研究样本,探讨了媒体报道在IPO抑价中的作用。通过测量招股公告日至上市日前一天的媒体报道数量,发现媒体报道与IPO抑价率正相关,并且媒体报道与IPO抑价的关系是以投资者情绪为桥梁的。此外还发现,创业板IPO存在显著的周历效应,周五上市的公司比例高...     

试论刑事缺席判决制度

在司法实践中 ,对于犯罪嫌疑人、被告人脱逃、患精神病、严重疾病的情形一律中止侦查、审查、审理 ,造成了诉讼迟延 ,诉讼不经济的局面 ,在一定程度上也影响了诉讼公正的实现。在我国应该建立缺席判决制度以改善诉讼迟延的局面并进而保证诉讼公正的实现     

X效率理论对金融混业经营微观效率的解释

X效率理论是新古典经济学资源配置效率理论的基础发展而来的关于企业组织效率的分析理论，诞生于新古典经济学对企业内部组织效率的忽视。作为新的理论视角，X效率理论体系中有关企业微观效率的“全权委托偏好”、“惯性区域”等理论可以很好地用于解释金融业混业经营的成因。     

IPO高抑价之谜：“租金分配观”还是“定价效率观”？——基于2005-2012年数据

对中国IPO极高的抑价现象存在两种不同的解释——“定价效率观”和“租金分配观”。以2005—2012年A股IPO公司作为样本,对这两种观点进行检验,结果表明：“租金分配观”只在2005-2008年成立,在2009-2012年不成立;“定价效率观”则能更好地解释2005年实施询价配售制度以来中国IPO抑价率的变化。     

中国货币政策利率传导效率研究:2008-2017

随着利率市场化进程的不断推进以及商业银行利率定价机制的发展,中国货币政策利率的传导效率也不断提高。基于2008年1月-2017年6月的宏观时间序列数据和微观调研数据,本文检验了中国货币政策利率对银行贷款利率的传导效率。总体而言,基准利率是影响金融机构贷款加权平均利率的主要因素。分时间段看,贷款利率浮动限制放开之后,货币市场利率对金融机构贷款利率的传导效率显著提升;基准利率对金融机构贷款利率的影响略有下降,但仍然占主导。对商业银行贷款利率定价的微观机制进行探讨后,本文发现贷款利率定价机制的变化是中国利率传导效率出现变化的主要原因。进一步的分析表明,资金来源和市场利率波动均是影响货币市场利率传导效率的重要因素。最后,本文就如何提高货币政策利率传导效率提出了政策建议。本文研究对完善价格型货币政策体系以及中国货币政策框架转型具有重要的实践意义。     

Accounting for the Gender Technology Gap Amongst Smallholder Rice Farmers in Northern Ghana

Narrowing the gender technology gap in agricultural production has become a critical policy issue in sub‐Saharan Africa. A better understanding of the gender technology gap is essential for policy formulation and programme planning to ensure equity in resource allocation, and household‐level food security in low and middle income countries, such as Ghana. We employ a metafrontier approach to analyse the differences in the efficiency of male and female farmers, recognising the endogeneity of some of the variables in the inefficiency effects model, in particular the credit constraints of the rice farmers under study. Our findings show that while the rice farms themselves are very similar, average yields for male managed farms tend to be significantly higher than female managed farms reflecting higher seeding and fertiliser application rates on male managed farms. However, there is no significant difference between the genders in either land used for rice or total output per farm household. We find some evidence that relative to the metafrontier, male managed farms are less efficient than female managed farms. The results further show gender technology gap amongst the smallholder rice farmers with females’ technology gap ratio being significantly greater than that of males, with females operating on a production frontier closer to the metafrontier. Policies that provide females more access to productive resources and other agricultural services could assist in the generation of relatively higher output.     

Energy‐milk price transmission at the product brand level

This article estimates the pass‐through rates between diesel fuel and retail milk prices at the product brand level. Using a random coefficient logit demand model and taking the direct and indirect impacts of energy prices, this research identifies changes in pass‐through rates before and after the great recession in 2008. Empirical results show that diesel prices significantly impacted the retail prices of milk products and are an important determinant of food price inflation. Pass‐through rates are estimated to range from 0.16 to approximately 0.60 through 2008 with an average of 0.22 for the whole period. Statistical tests indicate that pass‐through rates before June 2008 were significantly higher than after June 2008 when they dropped significantly to 0.04 to 0.17. Interestingly, private label brands have the lowest pass‐through rates, implying that compared to manufacturer brands, private label prices are more insulated from diesel price shocks.     

Consumer sorting and hedonic valuation of wine attributes: exploiting data from a field experiment

This article uses a novel experimental approach to measure consumer willingness to pay (WTP) for wine attributes. We invited customers of a local supermarket who had selected a bottle of wine to purchase to participate in a valuation experiment. Integrating their original wine choice into the experiment, each participant evaluated six alternative wines, generating a rich set of data on willingness to pay and consumer characteristics. The data from the experiment allow us to compare standard shelf price‐based wine attribute valuation estimates with estimates using WTP data and an increasing amount of information about individual consumers. The full model employs individual fixed effects to estimate WTP parameters without bias from consumer sorting or supply side influences. Our WTP estimates for wine attributes differ markedly from previous attribute value estimates. Consumers in our sample display clear and stable preferences for wine varieties, but less clear preferences for appellations. Our results suggest caution is needed in using market prices to estimate parameters of the consumer valuation function for product attributes.     

Hotel efficiency: A bootstrapped metafrontier approach

This paper introduces the metafrontier concept to account for the environmental and technological differences between various hotels groups. The interesting feature of the model is that it ensures that heterogeneous hotels are compared based on one homogenous technology. We test the model using a panel data sample of 78 Taiwanese hotels. The results clearly indicate that the size, ownership, and classification of a particular hotel have a significant impact on its efficiency. More implications of the results are provided.     

省域环境技术效率空间视角分析

通过构建环境污染综合指数,本文首先采用SBM非期望产出模型测度了我国29个省（市）2000—2009年环境技术效率。在此基础上运用探索性空间数据分析,结果发现省域间环境技术效率存在显著的空间依赖性,其自相关性已不容忽视。通过进一步利用空间面板数据模型对其影响因素进行实证分析后的研究结果表明：一个地区的环境技术效率与其所处位置及周边环境密切相关,并且受到邻近省份结构性差异误差冲击,这体现为各省份在经济发展水平、FDI、对外开放度和治理投资额等空间影响因素的差异。经济发展水平、外商直接投资和对外开放度均显著提升了各省份环境技术效率,而产业结构、环境治理投资额与环境技术效率负相关,环境治理投资效果并不显著。
