The societal relevance of management accounting innovations: economic value added and institutional work in the fields of Chinese and Thai state-owned enterprises

This paper contributes to the ongoing debate about the relevance of management accounting. In doing so, we widen the definition of ‘relevance’ from the largely managerialist focus dominating this debate to examine how management accounting innovations get imbued with a broader range of societal interests and how actors representing vested interests go about entrenching and resisting such innovations. We explore these issues with reference to the institutionalisation of Economic Value Added (EVA?) as a governance mechanism for Chinese and Thai state-owned enterprises. Adopting a comparative, institutional field perspective, we theorise our observations through the conceptual lens of institutional work, or the human agency involved in creating, maintaining and disrupting institutions. We extend extant research on institutional work by exploring how the evolution of such work was conditioned by differences in field cohesiveness, defined in terms of how consistent and tightly coordinated key interests clustered around EVA? are. Our analysis also draws attention to how different types of institutional work support and detract from each other in the process of upholding such cohesiveness. We discuss the implications for future research on the societal relevance of management accounting innovations and institutional work.     

The potential of integrated reporting to enhance sustainability reporting in the public sector

This paper examines the influence of integrated reporting (IR) on the sustainability reporting practices of a state-owned enterprise through a content analysis of their reports and interviews with report preparers. The findings show a steady increase in the quantity and quality of sustainability disclosures. In 2012, the organization chose to adopt the IR framework in order to enhance sustainability reporting for all stakeholders. The IR process resulted in a more balanced disclosure of material aspects of sustainability. However, while IR has the potential to enhance public sector sustainability reporting, inter-generational equity issues were ignored.     

Gobierno corporativo,financiamiento y género: un estudio de las pymes emisoras de títulos en los mercados de valores argentinos

The aim of this work is to study corporate governance (CG) in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from a gender perspective. In particular, we study the participation of women in ownership, management (board and senior management) and external audit in SMEs participating in the Argentinean Securities Market. The results show that participation of women in ownership and in external audit has a significant relationship with financing decisions. However, we do not find evidence of relations among different levels of GC and gender.     

小型工业企业运行效率的影响评价研究——以公司注册资本自治为背景

从2014年3月起我国公司注册资本方式改为认缴出资,且注册程序也大大简化了,这意味着我国正逐步放开管制,促使公司资本更有效地参与市场经济。资本出资、验资方式的改变,旨在提高市场经济的运行效率,所以本文选取小型工业企业作为研究对象,因为其对注册资本登记制度的改革最为敏感及受益,通过对其前后运行效率的评价研究来检验市场经济的运行效率和公司注册资本制改革的效果。得出结论：改革前后企业运行效率的主要影响因素是相同的,只是顺序有点变动;山东政策落地效果最好;江苏、广东充分调动社会资本力量的参与;浙江狠抓市场环境优化、扩大企业出口;河南高创业热情带动就业。表明公司注册资本制的改革是有效的,能够改善绝大多数省份企业运行效率。但同时也发现存在资本结构不合理、市场环境不好、市场化水平低等问题,就此提出了相关政策建议。

本文从外部环境、企业和交易3个层面研究可能影响我国高技术企业跨国并购绩效的因素。采集中国大陆A 股上市的高技术企业在2010~2015 年间的跨国并购案例,运用回归方法进行经验检验。研究结果表明：显著影响我国高技术企业跨国并购绩效的因素主要包括：相对国家竞争优势、制度距离、财务风险3 个因素与我国高技术企业的跨国并购绩效有显著的负相关影响;行业相关性、以往跨国并购经验、管理层能力、企业规模、相对并购规模5 个因素对我国高技术企业的并购绩效有显著的正相关影响。     

程序公平对新产品开发成功的影响——跨职能整合的中介作用

本文通过对中外汽车合资企业的实地调研,提出将程序公平引入现有关于跨职能整合与新产品开发成功的模型中,并进一步提出跨职能整合在合资企业程序公平与新产品开发成功关系中的中介作用。通过对获取数据的分析,发现合资企业程序公平不仅可以直接影响合资企业的新产品开发成功,而且也可以通过跨职能整合间接影响新产品开发成功,而跨职能整合在程序公平与新产品开发成功关系中起中介作用。     

美国混合合并反垄断法规制研究

关于混合合并的问题,美国在不同历史时期的态度是不同的,甚至是互相矛盾的。因此,美国的混合合并经历了合法—非法—基本上合法的一个过程。在这个过程中,尤其是美国视混合合并为非法的时期内,通过一系列的具体案件,美国混合合并理论得到了蓬勃发展。我国应当借鉴美国的经验,在反垄断法的实施过程中来具体分析混合合并行为,从而促进我国反垄断法的发展。     

Housing,mortgage bailout guarantees and the macro economy

What are the macroeconomic and distributional effects of government bailout guarantees for Government Sponsored Enterprises (e.g., Fannie Mae)? A model with heterogeneous, infinitely lived households and competitive housing and mortgage markets is constructed to evaluate this question. Households can default on their mortgages via foreclosure. The bailout guarantee is a tax-financed mortgage interest rate subsidy. Eliminating this subsidy leads to a large decline in mortgage origination and increases aggregate welfare by 0.5% in consumption equivalent variation, but has little effect on foreclosure rates and housing investment. The interest rate subsidy is a regressive policy: it hurts low-income and low-asset households.
