国有企业实行主辅分离面临的问题及对策

文章指出,通过主辅分离、辅业改制安置富余人员是国有企业改革的一项创新,它充分利用了改制分流的政策,有针对性地理顺分离企业的“3个关系”,即产权关系、劳动关系和隶属关系,以达到实现精干壮大主业、开放搞活辅业的目标。     

透过直销看戴尔模式

文章指出戴尔公司经过20年不懈的努力,现在已发展成为年营业额接近500亿美元的全球性跨国企业,人们往往都会将这个商业奇迹与“戴尔模式”,即“直销”模式相联系,“直销”似乎已成为戴尔最显著的标识,但是当我们理性地去解构、分析这个商业神话时,就会发现,“直销”并非是戴尔成功的真正的唯一的黄金法则。     

评“三多三少“——兼论对当前我国经济学界的评价

关于"三多三少",本文提出不同看法.认为确有人对我国当前经济学界的状况在市场经济体制条件下应对社会主义重新认识.在强调公平时,不一定要降低效率,公平不能决定分配.我国市场经济所采取的一些重大措施,都是马克思经济学原理的运用.     

Deposit Insurance and Risk Management of the U.S. Banking System: What is the Loss Distribution Faced by the FDIC?

We examine the question of deposit insurance through the lens of risk management by constructing the loss distribution faced by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). We take a novel approach by arguing that the risk management problem faced by the FDIC is similar to that of a bank managing a loan portfolio, only in the FDIC’s case the risk arises from the potential for loss of the individual banks in its portfolio. We explicitly estimate the cumulative loss distribution of FDIC insured banks using two variations of the Merton model and find that reserves are sufficient to cover roughly 99.85% of the loss distribution, corresponding to about a BBB+ rating. However, under different stress scenarios (higher correlations, fat-tailed bank returns, increased loss severity) that level can be much lower: approximately 96% corresponding to about a B+ rating.JEL classification: G210, G280.Any views expressed represent those of the author only and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the Federal Reserve System.     

Determinants of stock market volatility and risk premia

Summary. We show the dynamics of diverse beliefs is the primary propagation mechanism of volatility in asset markets. Hence, we treat the characteristics of the market beliefs as a primary, primitive, explanation of market volatility. We study an economy with stock and riskless bond markets and formulate a financial equilibrium model with diverse and time varying beliefs. Agents states of belief play a key role in the market, requiring an endogenous expansion of the state space. To forecast prices agents must forecast market states of belief which are beliefs of others hence our equilibrium embodies the Keynes Beauty Contest. A market state of belief is a vector which uniquely identifies the distribution of conditional probabilities of agents. Restricting beliefs to satisfy the rationality principle of Rational Belief (see Kurz, 1994, 1997) our economy replicates well the empirical record of the (i) moments of the price/dividend ratio, risky stock return, riskless interest rate and the equity premium; (ii) Sharpe ratio and the correlation between risky returns and consumption growth; (iii) predictability of stock returns and price/dividend ratio as expressed by: (I) Variance Ratio statistic for long lags, (II) autocorrelation of these variables, and (III) mean reversion of the risky returns and the predictive power of the price/dividend ratio. Also, our model explains the presence of stochastic volatility in asset prices and returns. Two properties of beliefs drive market volatility: (i) rationalizable over confidence implying belief densities with fat tails, and (ii) rationalizable asymmetry in frequencies of bull or bear states.This research was supported by a grant of the Smith Richardson Foundation to the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR).

Modeling the dependence structure between default risk premium,equity return volatility and the jump risk: Evidence from a financial crisis

This paper investigates the dependence structure between default risk premium, equity return volatility and jump risk in the equity market before and during the subprime crisis. Using iTraxx CDS index spreads from Japanese and Australian markets, the paper models the different relationships that can exist in different ranges of behavior. We consider several Archimedean copula models with different tail dependence structures, namely, Gumbel, Clayton, Frank, AMH and Joe copulas. Although the dramatic change in the levels of the iTraxx CDS index, we find strong evidence that the dependence structure between CDS and stock market conditions is asymmetric and orienting toward the upper side. In addition, we find that the Japanese CDS market is more sensitive to the stock return volatility than the jump risk and the magnitude of this sensitivity is related to the market circumstances. However, Australian CDS market is more sensitive to the jump risk than stock return volatility before and during the financial crisis. This result has important implications for both global financial stability and default risk management. Specifically, the heterogeneity of markets, coupled with the diversity in the risk exposures cause the default risk premium and equity markets to exhibit different levels of sensitivity.     

基于GLM的未决赔款准备金评估的随机性链梯法

为度量未决赔款准备金评估结果的波动性,需要研究随机性评估方法。基于GLM的随机性方法,得到准备金估计及预测均方误差。特别地,在过度分散泊松模型中,分别应用参数Bootstrap方法和非参数Bootstrap方法,得到两种方法下未决赔款准备金的预测分布,进而由该分布得到各个分位数以及其它分布度量,并通过精算实务中的数值实例应用R软件加以实证分析。实证结果表明,两种Bootstrap方法得到的参数误差、过程标准差、预测均方误差都与解析表示估计的结果很接近。     

我国保险营销渠道低碳发展问题探讨

我国保险营销渠道的高投入、高成本、高消耗、低效率、粗放式的发展方式不利于保险业可持续发展。当前保险专业中介渠道发展不足,营销效率不高,营销员队伍建设存在制度瓶颈,兼业代理市场不规范的问题依然突出。随着技术创新日新月异,制度创新的时机和条件日益成熟,国内各大险企充分发挥行业优势探索营销渠道低碳发展之路。本文从新制度经济学的角度探讨我国保险营销渠道的低碳发展的具体对策,即以低碳理念为指引,以完善的法律法规为保障,以技术创新为依托,以制度创新为切入点,以人才培养为核心。     

我国间接税与收入分配公平关系的实证分析

税收理论认为间接税具有累退性,有利于征管效率但不利于社会公平。采用1994～2009年时间序列数据,计算出库兹涅茨比率以衡量居民收入分配差距,通过对增值税、消费税、营业税、资源税、城建税、全部间接税对库兹涅茨比率影响的实证研究表明,目前我国以增值税为代表的间接税占税收总收入的比重过高,不利于发挥税收调节收入分配差距的作用,需要在今后逐步加以调整;同时间接税中的消费税有一定的缩小我国居民收入分配差距的作用,可以适当加以规范,以发挥其促进社会公平的作用。
