Hotel operator motives in UK sale and leaseback/management-back transactions

Sale and leaseback has become a major financing method in the hotel industry in the UK over the last 10 years, followed more recently by sale and management-back. This article, using interviews with current practitioners, examines the motivations of owner/operators in adopting these methods, identifying differences from generic motives in previous literature relating to the subject. It finds that, because of the integral part that hotel properties play in the delivery of customer service there are differences of opinion on the benefits of such an approach and there is a need to adopt some different considerations in the decision to use this method of funding.

我国资源类企业对外投资的有效性——基于合约理论的分析

本文基于合约理论和国际外包的理论模型,探讨我国企业走出去建立合作公司的过程中,由所有权和销售权配置的不同导致努力水平、所有权和销售权配置及相关影响因素。研究发现,所有权与销售权的不同配置对于前期建设、加工及销售产生不尽相同的影响,而前期建设与加工环节之间的正外部性并不对掌握前期建设环节的一方获得相关权利产生积极作用。另外,在资源价格高企的情况下,我国应首先着力与市场完备程度较低地区的外国企业建立合作。

Optimal ordering policies in response to a discount offer

Sometimes supplier offers a temporary price discount to increase cash flow or decrease the inventory level of certain items. Thus, the manufacturer may be able to improve the effectiveness of his inventory system by ordering a special quantity at this sale period. In this paper, economic order quantity (EOQ) models with a discounted price are developed to obtain the optimal ordering policy during the sale period for five different cases: (a) coincidence of sale period with replenishment time, (b) non-coincidence of sale period with replenishment time, (c) sale period is longer than a cycle, (d) discounted price as a function of the special ordering quantity, and (e) incremental discount. Each case has its own characteristics of the sale period and the discounted price. The objective is to take the maximum possible advantage from the discounted price by ordering a special quantity during the sale period. The optimal ordering policy is obtained by maximizing the difference between the two costs: Regular EOQ cost and special quantity cost during the sale period. Moreover, a comparison of different discount scenarios is developed to sense the effect of different parameters on the ordering policies. The annual gain obtained is linearly related to the discount and the on-hand remnant inventory. Numerical analyses are provided to illustrate and testify the values of the optimal special quantity. The analysis showed an impressive improvement in the effectiveness of the inventory system when a special order is placed during the sale period. The optimal special quantity is driven for each case to visualize real-life problems. Sensitivity analysis is also initiated to study the change in the total savings with respect to the variation of the special optimal quantity.

放松卖空管制与公司现金价值——基于中国资本市场的准自然实验

中国资本市场于2010年3月31日正式放开卖空管制,投资者可以对特定的股票进行卖空。放松卖空管制后,大股东如果继续侵占公司利益,投资者可通过卖空公司股票对大股东进行制衡。当卖空导致的股价下跌损失大于大股东侵占现金的收益时,现金资产被侵占的可能性降低,现金价值会有所提升。本文采用2007-2014年的中国上市公司为样本,借助放松卖空管制这一外生事件检验了这一问题,研究发现,放松卖空管制提高了公司的现金价值,并且这一影响主要体现在第一大股东持股比例较高的民营企业样本。
