企业强文化的资本性研究

本文围绕着企业强文化与企业绩效之间的关系,分析企业强文化的资本性与负债性。首先,在界定企业强文化的内涵后,提出强文化通过筛选与组织内部社会化两种途径形成;其次,在团队生产模型的基础上,引入信念一致性与规范的激励功能,分析了企业强文化的资本性;最后,我们提出企业强文化体现资本性的充要条件在于企业强文化激励、整合与协调组织成员的行为并且帮助组织适应外部环境,因此,在分析企业强文化的资本性与负债性时要考虑外部环境的权变作用。     

不同资本结构与所有权安排下的投资效率测度——来自我国A股市场的经验证据

本文研究了中国上市公司不同资本结构和所有权安排对投资收益和投资效率的影响,并就我国企业过度投资现象进行了测算和说明。实证结果发现,上市公司财务杠杆水平显著影响着公司投资效率和投资收益,但在影响方式上却因所有权安排的差异而有所不同。财务杠杆水平的提高对地方国有企业和非国有企业的投资收益影响不大,但显著降低了这两类企业的投资效率;中央国有企业财务杠杆水平的提高能够显著降低投资收益,但对投资效率的影响并不敏感。研究还发现,低杠杆水平的非国有企业和地方国有企业几乎不存在过度投资情况,高杠杆组该类企业过度投资却很严重;而对于中央国有企业来说,无论财务杠杆水平如何,投资效率均十分低下,过度投资普遍存在。     

A study on the deployment of high-speed broadband networks in NUTS3 regions within the framework of digital agenda for Europe

This paper investigates the high-speed broadband situation in the EU and its prospects. It uses a deployment model to estimate the investment required to meet the Digital Agenda for Europe (DAE) broadband targets set by the European Commission in its Europe 2020 strategy at different stages: as of 2016, after expected operators’ deployment, after public subsidies and leveraged investment, and as expected in 2020. The model uses data at the NUTS3 level, which is the most granular level that has data available on the status of broadband deployment, to arrive at a coherent and comparable framework. From the different perspectives on the investment to meet DAE targets, the paper concludes on the need for an appropriate combination of incumbent and alternative operators investments, public subsidies and leveraged investments, and new investments, both public and private and non-existing as of 2016, examining their feasibility and the impact of different regulatory, technical, and policy strategies.     

中国企业FDI区位选择：理论研究与实证分析

经济、社会高度发展的30年来,中国的综合国力有了显著增强,企业对外FDI的兴趣和行动不断增加,如何找到合适的投资区位已成为亟待研究的课题。理论界对FDI区位选择的研究早已有之,从Hymer的垄断优势理论到Kojima的比较优势理论,从针对发展中国家的“小规模技术模型”到对“逆向投资”现象的研究等等。文章梳理了区位选择理论的发展沿革,归纳了相关实证研究,并回顾了我国企业的对外投资实践,提出了我国企业对外FDI应借鉴创新升级理论的观点,摒弃进军大国的思路,而选择与我国贸易联系紧密、GDP总量达到一定规模、政治经济稳定、“心理距离”短的周边国家。

Do VCs matter? the importance of owners on performance variance in start‐up firms

Adding to the corporate effect literature, we study the effect of owners on firm performance in a new context, that of venture capital firms (VCs) and the start‐up firms in which they invest. After discussing the effect that VC ownership can have on start‐ups, we estimate that start‐up‐specific, owner (VC), and year effects account for significant variance in performance (26.3 percent, 11.2 percent and 3.7 percent, respectively). The effects of industry and investment stage are not statistically different from zero. We also provide an analysis that separates the owner effect into two components: a selection component—which impacts investment—and a management component—which explains significant variance in performance. By examining the owner effect in a different institutionalized form of governance—that of the start‐up and its relationship to VC owners—our study also contributes to an understanding of the ‘ownership’ effect in the strategy literature more generally.

Global Banks and Synthetic Funding: The Benefits of Foreign Relatives

This paper examines the effect of dislocations in foreign currency (FX) swap markets (“CIP deviations”) on bank lending. Using data from UK banks we show that when the cost of obtaining swap-based funds in a particular foreign currency increases, banks reduce the supply of cross-border credit in that currency. This effect is increasing in the degree of banks' reliance on swap-based FX funding. Access to foreign relatives matters as banks employ internal capital markets to shield their cross-border FX lending supply from the described channel. Partial substitution occurs from banks outside the UK not affected by changes in synthetic funding costs.     

供给侧改革中的人力资本结构优化研究

本文用受教育水平的差异来表示人力资本的结构。利用2004～2014年中国省级区域的数据,依次对每一年影响经济增长的人力资本和物质资本数据进行逐步回归。结果表明,教育水平不同的人力资本对经济增长的作用是不同的。2009年之前,高中学历人力资本是模型中解释度较好的人力资本。从2009年开始,对经济增长起明显促进作用的是大专及以上学历人力资本。在大专及以上学历人力资本成为经济增长的主要人力资本动力的同时,物质资本对经济增长的重要性在降低。对2009年之后的数据进行Malmquist指数测算,发现部分省级区域的全要素生产率有所下降。不同省级区域根据自身情况进行人力资本的结构优化。     

Are entrepreneurial venture's innovation rates sensitive to investor complementary assets? Comparing biotech ventures backed by corporate and independent VCs

Entrepreneurial ventures are a key source of innovation. Nowadays, ventures are backed by a wide array of investors whose complementary asset profiles differ significantly. We therefore assert that entrepreneurial ventures can no longer be studied as a homogeneous group. Rather, we harness the inherent dichotomy in the profiles of independent VCs and corporate investors to study ventures' innovation outcomes. Our sample consists of 545 U.S. biotechnology ventures founded between 1990 and 2003 and backed by independent venture capitalists (VCs) or corporate VCs (CVC). We find CVCs' investees exhibit higher rates of innovation output, compared to independent VC‐backed peers. Moreover, the performance of CVC‐backed ventures is sensitive to their ability to leverage corporate assets, underscoring the role of CVC accessibility and FDA approval requirements as the mechanisms associated with CVC contribution.
