完善地方政府金融管理体制研究

地方政府金融管理体制是我国金融体制的重要组成部分。目前我国地方政府金融管理实践中还存在着重复监管、监管盲区、责权不对等、职能混淆等问题,基于对当前地方政府金融管理体制缺损主要原因的分析,借鉴国外经验及寻求理论指导,本文建议从中央地方政府统分结合、金融发展与风险防范关系、需求角度及基础性制度安排等方面入手,逐步完善地方政府金融管理体制。     

我国省域金融成熟度的收敛性——基于空间面板数据模型的实证分析

研究了金融开放背景下我国省域金融成熟度的空间相关性和区域收敛性。基于金融成熟度综合指标体系,全面衡量了2001—2010年我国31个省级行政区的金融产业发展水平,并利用Moran's I从全局及局域层面揭示了各省金融成熟度的空间关联性。在此基础上,选择标准β收敛模型、空间滞后模型和空间误差模型对我国区域金融发展的β收敛进行分阶段探索。结果表明:我国区域金融成熟度在金融开放过渡阶段呈显著的β收敛特征、地区差异在减小,而在全面开放阶段呈显著的发散特征、地区差异在增大;金融开放加大了我国金融发展的区域差异。

非经常性损益对沪市上市公司财务业绩影响研究

文章通过非经常性损益、各非经常性损益项目对上市公司财务的整体影响以及对各非经常性损益项目对公司财务业绩的具体影响三个层次的分析,发现上市公司通过主营业务经营所获得的收益仍然是构成2003年财务业绩的主要来源,并且有继续向好的趋势;其整体业绩并未因非经常性损益的原因而导致质量低下。但同时数据也表明,部分上市公司利用各非经常性损益项目进行利润调节的现象仍然较为严重,对微利公司和 T族公司尤为如此。文章也对非经常性损益项目的构成进行了分析,揭示出了2003年度上市公司利用非经常性损益来调节利润的主要手段。此外,文章对目前有关部门对非经济性损益的相关规定进行了剖析,揭示出其存在的不足之处,并提出了相应的政策建议。

Do investors actually value sustainability? New evidence from investor reactions to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI)

Research Summary: Research exploring investor reactions to sustainability has substantial empirical limitations, which we address with a large‐scale longitudinal financial event study of the first global sustainability index, DJSI World. We examine investor reactions to firms from 27 countries over 17 years that are added, deleted, or continue on the index. We find that once relevant controls and comparisons to observationally equivalent firms beyond the index are included, DJSI events have only limited significance and/or materiality. Nonetheless, investors' valuation of sustainability around the world has evolved over time, involving diminishing reactions to U.S. firms and increasing benefits, particularly of continuation on the index, over time. The study highlights the importance of careful analysis and longitudinal global samples in making inferences about the financial effects of social performance. Managerial Summary: The debate about how investors perceive corporate social responsibility (CSR) predates Milton Friedman's famous statement that the only social responsibility of business is to increase profits. Although extensive research has studied whether sustainability contributes to financial performance, we have yet to understand whether investors believe it pays off. This financial event study of reactions to the addition, continuation, and deletion from DJSI World, the first global sustainability index, shows that investors care little about DJSI announcements. Nonetheless, there is some evidence that global assessments of sustainability are converging and that investors may increasingly be valuing continuation on the DJSI, suggesting that firms may gain at least limited benefits from reliable sustainability activities.     

Do telecom carrier takeovers create value? Longitudinal analysis of U.S. telecom carrier takeovers from 1996 to 2005

Takeovers by telecommunications carriers have surged during between 1996 and 2005, stimulated by the Telecommunications Act of 1996. In this study, we hypothesize and test the short-term and long-term performance of telecommunications carrier mergers and acquisitions (M&As) between 1996 and 2005 according to three main categories (strategic types, bidder characteristics, and payment methods). For short-term performance, this study investigates abnormal market returns of bidding firms after M&A announcements and our study shows that telecommunications carrier M&A announcements do result in a significant increase in shareholder wealth in the short run. However, from a long-term perspective, which has been investigated in terms of the survival rate and the operating performance after M&As, the telcos experience a statistically significant decrease of up to 10%. The results also show that though strategic type, bidder characteristics, and payment method play an important role in the value creation of M&As in the short term, only the bidder size matters in the success of M&As over a long period of time.
