Banks and the emergence of Hong Kong as an international financial center

Hong Kong is generally recognized as one of the premier international financial centers (IFCs) in the world. Its position has owed much to the opening of opportunity in the People's Republic of China since 1978, as well as the territory's long-standing reputation for transparency and efficiency in the provision of financial services. Less commonly recognized are the origins of Hong Kong's expertise in international banking and the prominent position that it commanded in the first few decades after the Second World War. This article seeks to clarify the development of Hong Kong as an international banking center in the first years after the War. The unique combination of laissez-faire government policy and a vibrant traditional local banking system catapulted Hong Kong to regional and global importance in the 1950s and 1960s and formed the basis for its later prominence as an IFC.     

传统银行发展面临的多重挑战与对策研究

我国传统银行经过30年发展已取得了巨大成就,但仍存在诸多问题,面临多重发展挑战.利率市场化挑战传统银行的盈利模式,加大银行业风险;互联网金融挑战传统银行的扩张模式,降低信贷集中度;民营银行挑战传统银行的股权结构,打破银行业垄断格局.这些挑战将传统银行逼到了改革的死胡同,而股权结构多元化、改变盈利模式、调整客户定位、发展电子业务、建立风险防范机制、与国际银行业接轨等是其必然选择.

The contribution of corporate social responsibility to organizational commitment

This study investigates the relationship between organizational commitment and employee perceptions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) within a model that draws on social identity theory. Specifically, we examine the impact of three aspects of socially responsible behaviour on organizational commitment: employee perceptions of corporate social responsibility in the community, procedural justice in the organization and the provision of employee training. The relationship between organizational commitment and each aspect of CSR is investigated within a model that distinguishes between genders and includes a set of control variables that is drawn from the commitment literature (Meyer et al., 2002 Meyer, J.P., Stanley, D.J., Herscovitch, L. and Topolnytsky, L. 2002. Affective, Continuance, and Normative Commitment to the Organization: A Meta-Analysis of Antecedents, Correlates, and Consequences. Journal of Vocational Behavior, 61: 20–52. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). The analysis is based on a sample of 4,712 employees drawn from a financial services company. The results emphasize the importance of gender variation and suggest both that external CSR is positively related to organizational commitment and that the contribution of CSR to organizational commitment is at least as great as job satisfaction.     

The multi-country transmission of sovereign and banking risk: a spatial vector autoregressive approach

ABSTRACT

This paper develops a spatial vector autoregressive (SpVAR) model to investigate the transmission of sovereign, banking and corporate default risks among 11 Eurozone countries for the period January 2008–December 2013. The results show that a significant proportion of default risk variation is explained by foreign shocks. However, the cross-border sovereign–bank nexus is statistically significant, but economically moderate. Among the three sectors, shocks to the banking sector play the most critical role. On average, for the 11 countries, a foreign banking shock can explain 7%, 23% and 18% of the forecast error variance of changes in sovereign, banking and corporate credit default swap spreads respectively.     

The Home Bias and the Credit Crunch: A Regional Perspective

Using detailed data on loan applications and decisions for a large sample of manufacturing firms in Italy during the recent financial crisis, we find that the credit crunch has been harsher in provinces with a large share of branches owned by distantly managed banks. Inconsistent with a flight to quality we do not find evidence that economically weaker firms suffered more during the crisis. In contrast, we find that financially healthier firms were affected more in functionally distant credit markets than in markets populated by less distant banks, consistent with a home bias on the part of nationwide banks.     

The evolution of China’s banking system: bank loan announcements 1996–2009

This study investigates China’s evolving banking systems from 1996 to 2009 by testing the market response to bank loan announcements in the China. The results show a significant negative market response to bank loan announcements in the Chinese financial market for the sample period 1996–2004. However, after a series of reforms in the Chinese banking system, the significantly negative market response to bank loan announcements disappears for the sample period 2005–2009.     

The bank lending channel and Swiss banking: a survey-based approach

This paper investigates the issue of the bank-lending channel in Switzerland. Using survey data to reflect loan supply and demand factors, we investigate the dynamic behaviour of aggregate loans in a VAR setting. Our findings indicate that higher interest rates lead to tightened loan approvals, and liquidity is a binding constraint as the contraction in deposits exceeds the reduction in loan growth following a monetary shock. Thus, banks’ actions seem to aggravate (ameliorate) the initial effects of higher (lower) interest rates on aggregate demand.
