海外大型基础设施投资项目"关联方施工模式"利弊分析及应用建议

随着中国“一带一路”倡议的实施,中国企业国际化进程加快,参与海外大型基础设施建设项目投资和建设逐渐增多。大型基础设施项目建设投资金额大,建设周期长,技术复杂,选择关联方作为施工承包商已成为投资企业控制建设期风险的措施之一。通过对该模式的优缺点进行研究,并结合巴基斯坦卡洛特水电站项目的应用经验,对投资者是否应该选择该模式及如何管理好该模式提出建议。     

CEO财务背景丰富度对成本粘性的影响研究

以2012—2021年沪深A股上市公司为研究样本，探讨CEO财务背景丰富度对成本粘性的影响。研究发现，CEO财务背景丰富度对成本粘性有抑制作用，CFO财务执行力在CEO财务背景丰富度对成本粘性的影响关系中具有正向中介作用，环境动态性和环境包容性具有负向调节效应。异质性分析发现，CEO财务背景丰富度对成本粘性的抑制作用在成长期企业中更加显著，但不存在企业规模异质性；CFO财务执行力对中位数以下规模企业和成长期企业的中介作用更加显著；环境动态性和环境包容性对中位数以下规模企业和成长期企业的负向调节效应更加显著。     

CEO cultural background and corporate cash holdings

This paper examines whether the cultural background of chief executive officers (CEOs) affects corporate cash holdings. Using UK data from 2000 to 2018, we find that CEOs with a cultural background that emphasises power distance and uncertainty avoidance are positively associated with corporate cash holdings, while CEOs with a cultural background that emphasises masculinity are negatively associated with corporate cash holdings. Our results are robust to various robustness tests. Further analyses show that the impact is more pronounced when power is concentrated among top executives, when the CEOs have a degree of discretion in pursuing their own goals, and when information asymmetry is high.     

“一带一路”境外经贸合作区赋能新发展格局的逻辑与思路

境外经贸合作区是共建“一带一路”的重要抓手,有助于推动中国企业高质量、规模化和协同化“走出去”,构建以中国为主导的“一带一路”国际产业链供应链,营造良好的共建“一带一路”国际环境。政府推动和引导、政策优惠、园区选址和产业定位是境外经贸合作区建设和发展的重要前提条件。未来共建“一带一路”境外经贸合作区,应完善政府间合作机制,规范园区管理体制,推动中国与沿线国家的标准互认互通,提高园区的金融服务供给水平,更好地发挥跨境电商和数字贸易的作用,积极发挥中欧班列的运输和物流作用,总结园区发展经验并创新园区类型。     

多边贸易下中国海外知识产权维权援助的路径

多边经贸协定下对知识产权维权援助存在援助的针对性和信息的对等性等内在需求。目前中国海外知识产权维权援助体系并不完善，在多边贸易体制下，应当构建以知识产权局为主的“集中式”援助主体系，以多边经贸协定为单元的“模块化”援助分支体系，并与社会层面建立协调联动机制。     

碳交易背景下考虑公平关切的双渠道闭环供应链定价决策

考虑到碳交易政策和公平偏好会影响双渠道闭环供应链定价决策，分别构建碳交易背景下公平中性、零售商公平关切信息对称与不对称时双渠道闭环供应链进行最优决策的Stackelberg动态博弈模型。通过求解各个均衡解，研究各个均衡解与制造商和零售商公平关切的关系。通过数值算例分析，着重考虑零售商公平关切信息对称与不对称时制造商和零售商公平关切对双闭环供应链最优定价决策的影响，并进行对比分析。研究结果表明：无论零售商公平关切信息对称还是不对称，新产品的销售价格与制造商和零售商公平关切都成正比，再制品的销售价格不受公平关切的影响；新产品的市场需求与制造商和零售商公平关切都成反比，再制品的市场需求与制造商和零售商的公平关切都成正比；公平关切会降低企业利润，公平关切信息不对称会加剧这一现象。     

Does international experience of managers bring financing benefits? Evidence from the cost of equity capital

Using a sample of Chinese firms, this study examines whether and how managers’ overseas experience affects a firm’s cost of equity capital. We document a negative association between managers’ overseas experience and the cost of equity capital. Mechanism analyses indicate that companies with returnee managers have better information quality and lower systematic risk; more institutional investors, media reports, and analysts following; and higher stock liquidity, all of which lead to a lower cost of equity capital. Further analyses show that chief executive officers (CEOs) with foreign experience have a more significant impact on the cost of capital than non-CEO managers with foreign experience and that managers’ overseas work experience has a more significant impact on the cost of capital than their overseas education. We also find that the impact of managers’ overseas experience is more pronounced when that experience is gained in common law countries compared to code law countries but weaker for state-owned enterprises and firms that are cross-listed or have foreign institutional investors. Overall, the results suggest that managers’ knowledge, skills, and ethical values imprinted from overseas experience, plus eyeball effects from media and analyst attention, can reduce the cost of equity capital.     

Insurance demand in the presence of loss-dependent background risk

We analyze insurance demand when insurable losses come with an uninsurable zero-mean background risk that increases in the loss size. If the individual is risk vulnerable, loss-dependent background risk triggers a precautionary insurance motive and increases optimal insurance demand. Prudence alone is sufficient for insurance demand to increase in two cases: the case of fair insurance and the case where the smallest possible loss exceeds a certain threshold value (referred to as the large loss case). We derive conditions under which insurance demand increases or decreases in initial wealth. In the large loss case, prudence determines whether changes in the background risk lead to more insurance demand. We generalize this result to arbitrary loss distributions and find conditions based on decreasing third-degree Ross risk aversion, Arrow–Pratt risk aversion, and Arrow–Pratt temperance.     

突破学习边界:危机中海外客户参与的学习机制研究

面对高度不确定的国际市场环境,跨国企业亟需利用海外客户参与来实现知识汲取和学习转化,以加快对市场需求的理解与反馈。本文选取四家中国跨国企业进行多案例分析,探究环境不确定情境下中国跨国企业如何通过海外客户参与进行学习转化。研究发现,第一,企业对环境不确定性动态程度(突变程度和渐变程度)的感知分别来源于其自身的"资源约束"和"信息约束";第二,环境不确定性感知影响中国跨国企业海外客户参与策略的选择,包括动态参与和预期参与;第三,在海外客户参与过程中,企业可以通过将不同维度的学习(认知维度和行为维度)进行转化,以形成应对环境不确定性的快速响应机制。研究结果拓展了环境不确定性情境下客户参与理论在组织学习领域的应用,同时能够为中国跨国企业应对不确定性压力、制定科学的非市场策略提供有益的经验借鉴和理论指导。
