Private equity characteristics and performance: An analysis of North American venture capital and buyout funds

The paper investigates the relationship between fund performance and fund characteristics of North American private equity (PE) funds, by analyzing the interactions of fund size, fund sequence, and past fund performance on traditional fund return measures. The empirical evidence is based on both linear and polynomial regressions, on a sample of 345 venture capital (VC) and 411 buyout (BO) funds with vintage year over the period 1995–2010. We document a concave relationship between fund size and performance, persistence in PE performance, as well as a convex relationship between fund sequence and performance. We suggest both the optimal fund size and the optimal fund sequence number. Economic implications for investors and general partners are discussed as well.     

私募股权投资基金的规制探析

私募股权投资基金在我国不断发展壮大,对于我国资本市场的健康发展起到了积极作用。但是,由于种种客观原因,我国私募股权投资基金的立法工作迟迟没有实质性进展。私募股权投资基金不可避免地存在各种问题。法律的空白给民间私募股权投资基金提供了生存空间,也使其面临相当大的法律风险。本文通过对我国现行私募股权投资基金法律制度进行分析研究,提出我国对私募股权投资基金的法律规制应当从设立、退出和监管三个方面入手,建立和完善我国私募股权投资基金法律制度。     

Information Complementarities and the Dynamics of Transparency Shock Spillovers

We show that information complementarities play an important role in the spillover of transparency shocks. We exploit the revelation of financial misconduct by S&P 500 firms, and in a “Stacked Difference-in-Differences” design, find that the implied cost of capital increases for “close” industry peers of the fraudulent firms relative to “distant” industry peers. The spillover effect is particularly strong when the close peers and the fraudulent firm share common analyst coverage and common institutional ownership, which have been shown to be powerful proxies for fundamental linkages and information complementarities. We provide evidence that increase in the cost of capital of peer firms is due, at least in part, to “beta shocks.” Disclosure by close peers—especially those with co-coverage and co-ownership links—also increases following fraud revelation. Although disclosure remains high in the following years, the cost of equity starts to decrease.     

创新住房保障模式 解决“夹心层”住房问题

为解决现有住房保障模式下存在的“夹心层”住房问题,本文从住房保障对象识别、保障方式选择、住房补贴标准确定、补贴金额计算等方面构建了一种新型的住房保障模式,该模式以货币补贴替代目前的实物补贴,实现了“收入越高补贴越少”的反向递减补贴效果,实现了住房保障的垂直公平,解决了现有模式下的“夹心层”问题,并进行了实证分析。

一种新的顾客满意度指数测评模型

顾客满意度指数是近年来许多国家和地区积极开展研究和采用的一种新的经济指标。本文在已有研究的基础上,结合我国消费者行为的特点,构建了一种新的顾客满意度指数测评模型。该模型在期望不一致模式的基础上,同时考虑了公平模式和需要不一致模式,引入感知公平和感知价格变量,并为这些结构变量设计了相应的观测变量和路径关系,建立了由顾客满意、企业形象、感知价格到顾客忠诚三条路径关系,改变了传统模型中从顾客满意到顾客忠诚路径过于单一的情况。

基于融资考虑对股权回报率确定方法的选择

上市公司在股票市场上融资时面临两类融资考虑问题:其一是资本结构的"溢出效应",它提高了股权回报率;其二是市场投资者的认知偏差,它可能提高或者降低要求的股权回报率。FAR与NEER是确定股权回报率的两类截然不同的方法:FAR有利于实现公司价值最大化目标,而NEER能够促使短期股价最大化。在通过比较这两类方法的异同后指出,在不同的融资考虑组合下,公司应根据自身情况选择适合的方法确定项目投资要求的股权回报率。     

Seasonality and momentum across national equity markets

This paper examines seasonality and momentum jointly across national equity markets at the index level. We find that seasonality and momentum are almost uncorrelated and appear to arise from different global or local risk factors, rather than from different loadings on the same risk factors. Employing a trading strategy that integrates seasonality and momentum parametrically, we confirm our conclusion about the relationship between seasonality and momentum: while the pure seasonality and momentum strategies individually generate sizable and significant returns, the combination strategy significantly outperforms the pure strategies in a way that is quantitatively consistent with their lack of correlation.
