Foreign investment,corporate governance and performance in the Chinese listed A Share companies

We present a novel lens on the presence and impact of qualified foreign institutional investors (QFII) in top shareholdings of the non-financial domestically listed Chinese ‘A’ share firms. The initial results suggest that the presence of a QFII as a top shareholder in these companies is associated with their better performance, using both Tobin’s Q and ROA as the performance measures. Our models include variables representing corporate governance mechanisms, foreign legal person shares, a proxy for international affiliations and a number of time-variant firm characteristics. Economically, the coefficient of impact on the market measure is the more significant, while the effect of having a QFII in top shareholdings on both performance measures is empirically significant. Previously, studies have often ignored the potential for reverse causality beyond using lagged regressors. This is problematic. Therefore, we follow up with a 2SLS instrumental variables and system GMM model to further mitigate this potential and find the empirical relationship holds. Contrary to earlier work on QFIIs and governance post-implementation of the QFII scheme, the findings from our models suggest that the presence of a QFII top shareholder augments market performance holding equal existing corporate governance mechanisms and other controls.     

基于社会责任视角的我国非营利组织网站测评研究

在互联网环境下,非营利组织纷纷建设门户网站加强与社会大众以及各利益相关方的沟通联系。随着非营利组织社会责任考量的日益重要,但目前对非营利组织通过网站履行社会责任的可行性评估一直处于空白状态,基于该视角,对中国17家最具有代表性的中国非营利组织进行了为期24天的网站检测,通过层次分析法对网站数据计算分析并进行网站排名。测评结果显示,目前中国优秀非营利组织在职能责任方面,依然存在网站更新频率低,活动相关性不足等问题,网站建设和运营方面仍有很大完善空间。     

开发人禽流感险是适应市场勇于创新的表现

当下正是人们普遍关注禽流感疫情之时，民生人寿和华安财险两家保险公司先后推出专门针对人禽流感的定期人寿保险，引起了保险界极大关注，褒贬不一，批评者认为这是哗众取宠；保费没有精算基础；发生大规模赔付怎么办。本文却认为推出人禽流感保险是新兴保险公司适应市场勇于创新的很好表现，开展特色业务一般都是通过经验估计制定费率，尔后在实践中不断调整和完善；在国家和整个社会全体动员积极预防禽流感的情况下，导致疫情大规模扩散引发大规模保险赔付的概率微乎其微，不存在影响其它险种客户利益的情况。

Reciprocity in Ranked Relationships: Does Social Structure Influence Social Reasoning?

Many economic and evolutionary theories have modeled cooperation as the evolutionary outcome of decisions made by autonomous, self-interested agents operating in a social vacuum. In this paper we consider the implications for cooperative interactions when prior social structures and corresponding social norms exist. In particular we investigate the influence of social rank/status on perceptions of fairness and tolerance of cheating. We review evidence from a series of experiments employing the Wason selection task (a test of conditional reasoning) and the ledger task (a decision making task) suggesting that people cued to adopt a perspective of high social rank are more tolerant of cheating and simultaneously believe that they have been more fairly treated (even when cheated) than people cued to adopt a perspective of low social rank. However, the evidence also suggests interesting cross-cultural differences in perceptions of fairness and tolerance of cheating in ranked relationships.
