股价波动、通货膨胀与固定资产投资——基于协整和VEC模型的经验证据

经验证据表明,我国股票市场时全社会固定资产投资的影响作用还比较小,股票市场对固定资产投资的冲击在部分时段是负效应,可能存在部分"挤出效应".而影响固定资产投资的主要因素是GDP的变动.另外在我国,通货膨胀率对固定资产投资的影响比较明显.从短期来看,固定资产投资也带动了通货膨胀.国内固定资产投资的波动不仅受偏离均衡的影响,还受到GDP、Cpi、上证综合指数与存款利率水平自身变动的影响.央行应加强审慎的宏观调控,优化信贷结构,加强农村水利建设的长期投资,为经济结构调整和经济增长方式的转变提供稳定的货币金融环境.     

境内人民币远期与NDF汇率关系

对2006年8月11日至2009年11月30日1月期、3月期、6月期和12月期的远期汇率进行统计和计量分析后发现:金融危机后,境内人民币远期汇率与NDF汇率的总体波动性有所降低,人民币远期汇率弹性有所下降;境内人民币远期市场的定价能力提高主要体现在短期限品种NDF汇率对于境内人民币远期汇率单向引导关系减弱,而二者的相互引导关系增强;长期限品种NDF汇率对于境内人民币远期汇率的引导关系不变。因此后金融危机时期一方面要防范国际资本和政治经济压力对中国汇率的冲击,同时也要择机有序退出临时性汇率安排,稳步推进人民币汇率形成机制改革。     

利率政策、金融结构与资本跨国流动——基于拓展的利率平价模型

利率政策和金融结构对资本跨国流动的影响力较强。在引入交易成本变量和放松风险中性假定的前提下,利用拓展的利率平价模型分析利率政策和金融结构对资本跨国流动及汇率波动造成的影响进行分析,结果得出,中国利率政策的顺周期性、粘性和单向惯性特征尽管不会导致资本跨国流动的边界发生位移,但是会使汇率的不稳定性加剧,并且持续的时间延长;中国现有金融结构的金融交易效率低和交易风险大的特征会导致资本净流入量减少,因此汇率面临着持续的、较大的贬值压力。     

农村信用社是否应当加入存款保险制度：博弈论视角

文章从博弈论角度论证了金融机构加入存款保险制度的必要性,并通过调查问卷、实地调查等方式,对山东省A市农村信用社加入存款保险制度的影响进行了实证分析。分析结果表明,加入存款保险制度不会引起农村信用社存款大规模流失,保费征收短期会增加农村信用社的经营成本、降低营业利润,但不会影响农村信用社的长期稳健经营,亦不会对当地金融稳定形成冲击。     

Financial Integration in Asset and Liability Holdings in East Asia

In this article, we examine the evolution of intra-East Asian financial integration from 2001 to 2013. Most existing studies on this topic look primarily at asset holdings; we examine liability holdings as well. Using the International Monetary Fund’s Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey data for equities, long-term debt, and short-term debt, our analysis generally supports the conventional wisdom that East Asian countries are more financially integrated with global financial centers than they are with each other. This is true for both asset holdings and liabilities and is confirmed by an econometric analysis based on financial gravity equations. However, the gap between global integration and regional integration has narrowed for asset holdings over time but not for liability holdings. The results of additional econometric analysis indicate that diversification of liability holdings can mitigate financial instability due to global financial shocks. More precisely, diversification was associated with smaller exchange rate depreciation during the quantitative easing taper tantrum of 2013. These results point to a possible benefit from strengthening regional financial integration. Deeper regional integration would reduce dependence on global financial markets for funding and hence vulnerability to global shocks.     

The relative influence of price and non-price factors on short-term retail deposit quantities?

This study explores how price and non-price factors influence change in the quantity of short-term retail deposits held by depository institutions. The analysis is undertaken for a sample of UK building societies over 23 years using a disaggregated data set with a two-stage econometric procedure involving system estimators in a panel framework using seemingly unrelated regression, generalised method of moments and an ordinary least-squares fixed effects estimators to control for contemporaneous correlation and endogeneity concerns. Price factors examined include the policy or base rate and retail deposit interest rates set by individual building societies and non-price factors including the branch network and the number of deposit accounts offered by individual building societies. The cost of funds, one non-price factor and occurrence of mergers are consistently significant influences of retail deposit quantities. We conclude risk assessment of retail deposit quantity and monetary policy transmission would benefit from considering both price and non-price factors, rather than only price factors.     

Is exchange rate risk priced in microfinance?

High microcredit interest rates have often been a source of criticism against the microfinance movement. Research has focused attention on the cost structure of interest rates and more recently on the macroeconomic and macro-institutional factors. While cost structure is probably the most important determinant of interest rates, other factors can also matter. This paper uses an innovative measure of foreign exchange risk to explore its impact on microcredit interest rates. We show that microfinance institutions that operate in countries with fixed exchange rate regimes tend to charge lower interest rates than those operating in countries with floating exchange rate regimes.

Shanxi Merchants’ Multilevel Financial System in Ming and Qing Dynasties,China

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368–1911), China saw rapid development in industrial and commercial sectors. Over this period, a group of merchants originating from the inland province of Shanxi gradually built a multilevel financial system and became leaders in China’s banking sector. The system of financial institutions they established (pawnshops, seal shops, money shops, loan banks, and draft banks) each had a unique business model, with specific target client group and carefully designed risk management. They were also interconnected to allow for flexible capital flows, contributing to the fast economic growth in this period. Nevertheless, the traditional system also had limitations, leading to its replacement by modern banks eventually.     

Exchange rate sensitivity of commodity flows between the Philippines and the US

Previous studies that tried to assess the impact of exchange rate changes on the inpayments and outpayments of a country used aggregate trade flows between two countries. They are said to suffer from aggregation bias, and disaggregation by industry is recommended. In this paper, we consider response to exchange rate changes of export earnings (inpayments) of 133 industries that export from the US to the Philippines (Philippines’ importing industries) and outpayments of 65 US industries (Philippines exporting industries) that import from the Philippines using annual data over the period 1973–2012. While in most industries exchange rate changes had significant effects in the short run, the short-run effects did not last into the long run in most industries. Economic activity played more role in the long run than the exchange rate.
