对冲基金收益特征的影响因素分析

对冲基金具有优化的高收益-低风险结构,这主要来自两个方面：一是良好的内在机制设计;二是外部市场环境的促进。二者相互结合,使对冲基金的有效投资边界向外得到极大扩展。实证研究表明,对冲基金收益率的外部提供者主要是全球资本市场和外汇市场,且与股票市场收益率（S＆P500、DAX）、汇率水平（欧元、日元）具有较强的正相关性,与债券收益率（MSC I）的相关性为负。     

公司制风险投资组织结构的比较研究

风险投资基金组织结构的重要性问题,引起了学术界的广泛关注。通常观点认为,风险投资机构成功的关键是其特殊的组织结构———有限合伙制,但由于没有有限合伙制的法律制度安排,我国的风险投资机构的组织形态目前只能以公司的方式出现。本文从公司风险投资的历史与概况、公司内部风险投资的结构性缺陷、风险投资基金组织结构的重要性方面对公司制风险投资进行研究和分析,通过与有限合伙制的比较,结合国内风险投资组织形态的发展现状,提出了国内风险投资发展中组织结构设计的思路,并对我国公司制风险投资基金今后的发展方向提出了建议。     

江苏省信贷资金区域流动及配置差异实证分析

文章以江苏省信贷资金区域流动与区域配置为研究对象,首先用Feldstein-Horioka测试方法验证了江苏省13个城市内的信贷资金流动能力,说明信贷资金存在从经济落后地区流向经济发达地区的倾向,然后建立信贷资金区域配置影响模型,证明经济发展水平和产业结构是决定信贷资金区域配置的主要因素,同时也发现两个因素对省内不同经济区域的影响性质和影响程度有所差异.文章的研究结论对改善信贷资金区域配置不平衡,促进全省经济全面、协调、可持续发展提供了一定的指导作用.     

基于和谐的住房保障制度研究:一个国际比较的视角

中国已经初步建立起了以经济适用房制度、廉租房制度和住房公积金为主要内容的住房保障制度,但在实施过程中还存在许多问题和缺陷。应借鉴国外住房保障制度经验,如:扩大筹资渠道、增加有效供给、加强审核监督等,提高保障住房的供给效率,为和谐社会建设提供住房制度保障。

Corporate tax revenues in OECD countries

This paper studies variation among OECD countries in the size of corporate income tax revenues relative to GDP over the time period 1979–2002. A decomposition explains such variation as a function of the statutory tax rate, the breadth of the tax base, corporate profitability, and the share of the corporate sector in GDP. Empirical results indicate a parabolic relationship between tax rates and revenues, implying a revenue-maximizing corporate income tax rate of 33% for the whole sample. This revenue-maximizing rate is found to decrease as economies are smaller and more integrated with the world economy. JEL Classification H25, H87     

Universal Moral Values for Corporate Codes of Ethics

How can one establish if a corporate code of ethics is ethical in terms of its content? One important first step might be the establishment of core universal moral values by which corporate codes of ethics can be ethically constructed and evaluated. Following a review of normative research on corporate codes of ethics, a set of universal moral values is generated by considering three sources: (1) corporate codes of ethics; (2) global codes of ethics; and (3) the business ethics literature. Based on the convergence of the three sources of standards, six universal moral values for corporate codes of ethics are proposed including: (1) trustworthiness; (2) respect; (3) responsibility; (4) fairness; (5) caring; and (6) citizenship. Relying on the proposed set of universal moral values, implications are discussed as to what the content of corporate codes of ethics should consist of. The paper concludes with its limitations.     

Seasonality in Fund Performance: An Examination of the Portfolio Holdings and Trades of Investment Managers

Abstract:  This study examines the extent to which seasonal variation arises across calendar months in the performance of active Australian equity managers. While it is well documented that there is seasonality in equity market returns, it is unknown whether calendar month variation in managed fund performance exists. Employing a unique database of monthly stock holdings, we find evidence consistent with systematic variation in the risk-adjusted performance of active investment managers over the calendar year. Specifically, we find fund performance is higher in the months when corporate earnings are announced. We also document that the performance of fund managers is lower in the months preceding the tax year-end. Finally, we report evidence that investment manager performance is greater than normal in December, possibly due to both window dressing and the Christmas holiday effect. These findings have important implications for investors attempting to exploit anomalies in fund returns by timing their entry and exit points from active equity funds.
