北方牧区草地资源可持续利用的制度创新研究

我国北方牧区的天然草地发生了严重的退化,引发了一系列生态经济问题。导致草地退化的原因是多方面的, 制度供给不足和滞后是主要的社会经济原因。单纯依靠技术和资金投入治理退化草地,难以从根本上解决问题。应从科学发 展观的视角,通过改革现行草地所有权、使用权,完善草地资源管理制度,构建有助于体现草地资源生态价值的绿色考核体 系,实施有利于牧区发展的生态补偿政策,建立和完善草地利用和保护的激励机制,从而实现草地资源的可持续利用。     

新会计准则下我国上市公司债务重组动因研究——基于A股上市公司2007年数据

在我国2007年实施新的《企业会计准则——债务重组》的背景下,结合盈余管理的理论,对我国A股上市公司债务重组动因进行的实证分析发现,财务状况改善、扭亏对上市公司债务重组幅度有显著影响,平滑利润对上市公司债务重组幅度影响不显著。     

上市公司社会责任审计的理论建构与实践问题探索

随着上市公司履行社会责任情况的信息披露日益受到利益相关者的密切关注,作为履行第三方鉴证责任的上市公司社会责任审计也越来越受到理论界和实务界的重视,因此通过理论建构与实践操作两个层面对上市公司社会责任审计问题进行有关探索十分必要。上市公司社会责任审计的理论框架可以从审计依据、审计原则、审计主体、审计内容、审计目标五个方面来构建;上市公司社会责任审计的实践问题可以从强化上市公司社会责任审计信息披露的监管、构建上市公司社会责任审计的标准、巩固上市公司社会责任审计的依据、探索上市公司社会责任审计的辅助机制和培养上市公司社会责任审计人员几个方面来探索。     

我国高校西方经济学教学方法新论

在中国高等教育国际化与大众化趋势日益明显的新形势下,高等教育的参与主体即教师与学生也出现了新变化,这对西方经济学的教学方法提出了新的要求。换位思考教学法、批判与创新式教学法、研究式教学法、体系式教学法、启发式教学法、兴趣式教学法、实验教学法等对改进西方经济学课程教学方法和提升教学效果可能会有所裨益。     

基于产业异质性的银行贷款政策效应分析——来自上市银行的经验证据

在银行信贷资金配置存在产业间差异的假定下,建立引入产业因素的银行贷款决定模型,考察产业因素影响银行贷款渠道有效性的内在机制,并运用2007年到2010年14家上市银行和5组产业数据展开动态面板模型估计,结果表明：从贷款需求角度看,各个产业的产出对产业贷款的影响效应存在产业间差异;从贷款供给角度看,人民银行运用货币政策工具调控产业贷款的影响效应也存在产业间差异。也就是说,产业因素确实影响到人民银行调控各个特定产业贷款的力度。

Does board gender diversity influence firm profitability? A control function approach

We investigate the relation between board gender diversity and firm profitability using the control function (CF) approach recently suggested by Wooldridge (2015). The CF method takes account of the problem of endogenous explanatory variables that have potential to bias the results. Using a sample of firms that made up the S&P 500 over the period 2004–2015, we find that the presence of women on corporate boards (measured either by the percentage of female directors on corporate boards or the Blau index of heterogeneity) has a positive and significant (at the 1% level) effect on firm profitability (measured by the return on assets). We compare our results to more traditional approaches (such as pooled OLS or the fixed-effects model). Through this study, we shed light on the effect of women on corporate boards on firm performance, as it is still a controversial issue (Post and Byron, 2015).     

Foreign direct investment and economic growth: Is more financial development better?

We investigate the extent to which an increase in financial development affects the positive effect of foreign direct investment on economic growth. Although the financial sector is beneficial for economic growth, the effect of further financial development on growth is found to become insignificant. Using a dynamic panel threshold model on 62 middle- and high-income countries spanning the period 1987–2016, we re-examine the possible nonlinearity between finance, foreign direct investment, and growth. Consistent with the “vanishing effect” of financial development, we find significant evidence that foreign direct investment fosters growth in general, but the growth effect of foreign direct investment becomes negligible when the ratio of private sector credit to gross domestic product exceeds 95.6%. This finding is robust to different econometric methods, various subsamples and interaction analyses, and distinct financial development indicators.     

Do news shocks increase capital utilization?

Using the workweek of capital as a measure of capital utilization, we empirically test whether news shocks actually increase capital utilization. To this end, by estimating a panel VAR on two-digit manufacturing data identifying news shocks as innovations to stock returns orthogonal to the variations in current-period TFP growth, we find the positive response of capital utilization to news shocks. Moreover, to explain the positive response of capital utilization to news shocks in terms of plant-level investment behavior, we propose a heterogeneous plant model that combines the fixed cost of capital adjustment and an endogenous capital utilization choice. With the presence of fixed costs, except for the plants that have recently adjusted capital stock, news shock shortens the effective time horizon of currently installed capital stock and increases capital utilization. When the model economy is calibrated to match the salient features of the plant-level investment rate distribution, the economy generates a news-driven positive response of capital utilization.
