Daily mutual fund flows and redemption policies

We examine how redemption policies affect daily fund flows in open-end mutual funds. Since short-term trading of fund shares, as manifested in daily fund flows, can have an adverse impact on returns to the fund’s shareholders, mutual funds might find it desirable to discourage short-term trading through the use of redemption fees. However, if daily fund flows are due to fund shareholders’ legitimate liquidity demands, the redemption fee would have little effect on daily fund flows and possibly adversely affect fund shareholders by imposing a liquidity cost on them. We find that the likelihood of a fund charging a redemption fee is largely a function of its overall fee structure. We also use a sample of funds that imposed redemption fees to examine whether the distribution of daily fund flows changes after the initiation of the redemption fee. We find that the redemption fee is an effective tool in controlling the volatility of fund flows.

Discount rates and credit markets: Theory and evidence from rural india

Three models of credit markets - (1) the permanent income model, (2) upward sloping credit supply to individual borrowers, and (3) constrained credit due to imperfect enforcement - are tested using credit market data and an experimental study of individuals' discount rates in south India. The permanent income model is rejected by both the discount rate and the credit market data. The discount rate data are consistent with either of the other two models, while the credit market data are consistent with a combination of these two models. Other explanations are found to be insufficient to explain the results of this study.

科技金融与中小高新技术企业发展的实证分析

科技和金融是现代经济发展的重要构成要素。分别选取政策性科技金融和金融机构科技贷款表示科技金融指标,构建生产函数为基础检验模型,并以1999--2011年大连相关数据对二者的关系检验。结果表明,中小高新技术企业的发展约13％可以归因于政策性科技金融,约56％归于高层次科技人员的投入,但是金融机构科技贷款的波动不利于中小高新技术企业的发展。在因果关系上,只存在金融机构科技贷款与中小型高科技企业发展的单方向Granger因果关系。     

Running From a Bear: How Poor Stock Market Performance Affects the Determinants of Mutual Fund Flows

Abstract:  Using a proprietary data set to study how past performance affects the determinants of mutual fund flows for a sample of load fund investors, I provide evidence that the determinants of fund flow depend on market conditions for both redemptions and purchases. Specifically, I show that, for redemptions, relative performance and risk adjusted performance are important determinants during a period of record flows into mutual funds. Conversely, during a period of poor performance, absolute performance becomes much more important and relative performance and risk adjusted performance become less important. For purchases, absolute performance, risk adjusted performance, and most relative performance measures become more important during the bear market.

A Note on Capital IQ's Credit Line Data

Empirical work in finance is increasingly using Capital IQ's detailed data on capital structure. We compare the Capital IQ credit line data to hand‐collected data for a random sample of firms. Missing values in Capital IQ are prevalent, so the data set underreports the importance of corporate credit lines. When data are reported, Capital IQ often differs from hand‐collected credit line activity. We suggest methods for correcting the errors in the Capital IQ data, note which portions of the data are most reliable, and quantify the effects of Capital IQ's underreporting by examining the tradeoff between cash and lines of credit.     

金融信用发展演变研究

由信用风险引发的美国金融危机引起了我们对金融信用的反思。随着金融信用发展,金融信用的内涵和外延在不断变化。本文研究了金融信用的演进历程,根据不同发展时期的特征,将金融信用的发展划分为五个阶段:道德化、法制化、商业化、证券化及风险的市场化阶段。每一发展阶段,金融信用的作用和蕴含的风险是不同的,而目前的金融信用蕴含的信用风险,成为金融危机的重要诱因。
