政治资源、独立审计需求与市场评价——来自中国民营上市公司的经验证据

文章从民营企业家政治资源的专用性角度出发,探究了民营企业对高质量审计需求的形成动因,以及可能需要的条件。实证结果发现,民营企业家具有政治资源的公司更倾向于聘请大型事务所进行审计,这种动机在市场化进程较快、法治水平较高的地区更为显著。进一步,在控制自选择的内生性问题后,大型事务所对此类公司出具了更清洁的审计意见,也抑制了其财务报告的盈余管理程度,提升了外部投资者对此类公司的正面评价,在法治水平较高的地区,这种正面评价越显著。     

The effect of institutional isomorphic pressure on the internationalization of firms in an emerging economy: evidence from China

This study uses institutional theory to explore the driving force for internationalization of firms in emerging economies. It posits that the internationalization practices of firms are driven not only by efficiency consideration, but also by the desire to conform to institutional isomorphic pressures exerted by the social environment. The impact of three types of institutional isomorphic pressures – coercive pressure, mimetic pressure and normative pressure – on the intensity of internationalization is investigated. Analysis using survey data collected from 174 Chinese firms shows that all three institutional pressures have positive and significant effects on the intensity of internationalization. We also examine the interaction between institutional pressure and firm capability. Results suggest that firm capabilities enhance the effect of coercive pressure on internationalization, and weaken the effect of normative pressure on internationalization.     

基于投资者保护的机构投资者行为规制

不同类型机构投资者的一个关键差异在于风险承受的方式和能力不同,因而在行为监管方面存在着明显的差异。金融自由化并非放松所有的监管,而是监管重心从结构化转向审慎化。基于投资者保护的视角对机构投资者的行为进行规制应从如下方面入手:第一,强化制度实施机制;第二,规制规制者;第三,强化对市场操纵行为的规制;第四,健全证券民事赔偿制度。     

How does a new institution spread? Travel agencies' adoption of the service quality assurance programme

Despite the recognition of service quality as a major advantage in service industries, the travel agency sector in Taiwan has lacked any service quality certification regime that could optimize service provision or reduce customers' transaction costs. Since the introduction of such a quality-assurance programme in Taiwan in mid-2003, local travel agencies have responded differently. With a sample of 167 uncertified Taiwanese travel service operators, this study argues that firm responsiveness to a new institution depends on two distinct motives, rational and normative, and that such relationships are contingent upon CEO's background and market conditions. The results detail the varied responses as a result of rational and normative considerations and highlight the context-dependent nature of the motivation–behaviour relationships. This study yields important implications for quality credentialing bodies regarding how a new institution may diffuse in a field.     

银行机构扩张、支付工具改进与城镇储蓄存款增长——制度变量对货币需求影响的一个分析视角

规模变量、机会成本变量及制度变量是决定货币需求的三个因素,但一直以来货币需求研究主要聚焦于规模变量及机会成本,而较少考虑制度变量的影响。本文以银行机构及支付工具作为制度变量,从理论推导与实证分析两个方面探讨其对货币需求的影响,结论表明改革开放以来商业银行机构扩张及支付工具的改进节省了城镇居民的现金需求,而推动了城镇储蓄存款的增长。

INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH ON PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT AND MANAGEMENT IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR ACCOUNTING LITERATURE: A REVIEW AND ASSESSMENT

This paper reviews the evolution of institutional research on performance measurement and management (PMM) in the public sector accounting literature. An assessment of the progress of this research programme is offered in light of some key developments in the broader neo-institutional sociology (NIS) literature, such as the growing recognition of the role of embedded agency, the need to bridge institutional and rational choice explanations of action and the extension of empirical research across different levels of institutional fields. Some progress has been made in this respect and has contributed to shift the emphasis from a one-sided focus on institutional effects  on  PMM, treating institutional pressures as largely exogenous, to recognize its more intricate roles as an outcome of, as well as a medium for, change. However, further research is required into the micro dynamics involved in transforming and reproducing PMM practices at different levels of analysis and how such practices become infused with meanings conditioned by higher-order institutional logics across various levels of institutional fields. Some research strategies for addressing these issues are outlined.
