PFIs involving multiple public partners: a case study from the Italian healthcare sector

The financial crisis experienced by many countries since 2008 has given new importance to private finance initiatives (PFIs) for providing public services. This paper analyses the relationships between multiple public and private sector actors participating in a PFI in the healthcare sector in order to better understand the motives and behaviour of public and private sector partners. High levels of trust and the active participation of a regulatory body were found to be significant factors in terms of creating a partnership that benefits all sides.     

基于变系数模型的我国资本流动审慎管理研究

本文采用事实测度法构建符合审慎特征的时变资本流动管理指标,并采用时变系数法考察了我国资本流动管理的有效性及其与短期资本流动的相关关系。研究发现,我国资本流动管理的有效性以2013年为界呈现出先减弱后增强的趋势。另一方面,仅依靠增强管理有效性而不增加管理强度难以有效防范突发事件冲击造成的大规模资本流动。此外,审慎型资本流动管理政策可以有效调控短期资本流动,且其对于资本流动的短期影响强于长期。     

中国电力产业规制效果的实证研究

本文利用1978--2005年相关数据对中国电力规制效果进行了全面的实证检验。计量结果表明，改革开放以来，明确的规制框架、独立规制机构和不断成熟的规制对象在统计意义上显著地提高了电力产业总量和效率，降低了价格水平和垄断利润．但在改善服务质量方面尚未发挥有效作用。总体看，中国电力产业规制效果是明显的．良好的规制设计不仅在理论上有利于电力产业提高绩效，在实践中也是电力产业绩效改善的推动力。     

Assessing qualitative similarities between financial reporting frameworks using visualization and rules: COREP vs. pillar 3

Financial institutions are struggling with larger volume, more specific and greater frequency of regulatory reporting after the global financial crisis in 2008, especially those that need to report to multiple jurisdictions. To help to improve reporting efficiency, this paper aims to assess the existence of similarities between templates related to credit and counter party credit risk of COREP and Pillar 3 regulatory reporting frameworks by applying Correspondence Analysis and Association Rules Mining. Our results suggest a high degree of overlap between these reporting frameworks, more prominently the three business functions as Front office, Finance and Risk. These patterns can be used as guidance for financial institutions to reshape their reporting architecture.     

Capital Regulation with Two Banking Sectors: Cyclicality and Implementation

We present a capital regulation policy in a model in which banks can choose to be unregulated, by operating in the shadow banking sector, when the cost of being regulated (restriction on portfolio risk) exceeds the benefit (cheaper funding/insurance). We show that the welfare maximizing capital requirement policy can be procyclical: lower requirement during booms and higher requirement during recessions. Our policy specifies the level of capital requirement as a function of the observed relative size of the unregulated and regulated banking sectors. This specification achieves the optimal aggregate risk exposure by obtaining the right mix of the two sectors.     

基于公允价值计量的银行监管改革

在全球性金融监管改革进程中,美国次贷危机带来的影响是重大而深远的,人们重新从不同角度审视过去的监管制度。本文正是从在此次危机中受到广泛争议的公允价值计量角度出发,审视公允价值计量的性质与特征,审视其与银行监管的适应性关系。并基于其本质发现公允价值计量在银行监管体系中的不足和缺陷,进而寻找发挥其效力、规避其不足的监管措施。     

美联银行反洗钱处罚案对我国反洗钱监管的启示

FinCEN对美联银行的反洗钱处罚体现了重视反洗钱工作机制建设、重视违反可疑交易报告规定情况、具体的处罚金额与违规行为的严重程度和机构自身的影响力相关等监管原则.启示我国反洗钱工作要加强对金融机构反洗钱内控机制建设的关注力度,处罚力度应与机构影响力结合,正确理解和处理处罚与监管的关系以及在大额和可疑交易报告的检查方面应注重系统性风险等.     

Negligence,capture, and dependence: safety regulation of the design of India’s Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor

This article contributes a case study of regulation of the design of India’s Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR). This reactor is the first of its kind in India, and perceived by the nuclear establishment as critical to its future ambitions. Because fast breeder reactors can experience explosive accidents called core disruptive accidents whose maximum severity is difficult to contain, it is difficult to assure the safety of the reactor’s design. Despite the regulatory agency’s apparent misgivings about the adequacy of the PFBR’s design, it eventually came to approve construction of the reactor. We argue that the approval process should be considered a case of regulatory failure, and examine three potential factors that contributed to this failure: institutional negligence, regulatory capture, and dependence on developers and proponents for esoteric knowledge. This case holds lessons for nuclear safety regulation and more generally in situations where specialized, highly technical, knowledge essential for ensuring safety is narrowly held.     

中国金融科技监管沙盒机制设计研究

空间视角下R&D投入对区域创新能力的影响研究——基于科技政策组合的调节作用

基于知识生产函数模型和创新地理学理论,本文利用我国30个省(区、市)2008~2020年的面板数据,通过空间计量模型实证分析R&D投入对区域创新能力的影响及空间溢出效应,并从政策目标与政策工具的耦合协调性视角理解科技政策组合,分析科技政策组合的调节效应。研究发现,我国省域创新能力呈现由东向西逐渐减弱的“梯形”分布特征;R&D资金和R&D人员对于本地区域创新能力提升具有显著的正向影响,但空间溢出效应均不显著;科技政策组合正向调节R&D投入对区域创新能力的促进作用。对此,国家应制定适宜的区域创新战略,地方政府应探索差异化创新驱动发展路径并提升科技政策组合的耦合协调性。
