Why will Trump lose the trade war?

ABSTRACT

The escalating U.S.–China trade conflicts have increasingly shadowed the outlook of the world economy. The Trump administration aims to achieve its strategic goals including reducing current account deficits, promoting the U.S. manufacturing sector, and curbing Chinese high-tech industries by waging the trade war against China. This paper argues that the current account deficits and the declining manufacturing sector in the U.S. are mainly driven by its internal structural factors, such as low saving rates, high labor costs, and rising service sector, rather than by the import competition from China. Moreover, the trade war further deteriorates the U.S. current account deficits and erode its comparative advantage, and it forces China to invest more in technological innovation and human capital, and thus promote its progress in high-tech industries. Thus, the U.S. will not be able to achieve its strategical goals and eventually lose the trade war.

An empirical analysis of the relationship between the hedge ratio and hedging horizon: A simultaneous estimation of the short‐ and long‐run hedge ratios

This article analyzes the effects of the length of hedging horizon on the optimal hedge ratio and hedging effectiveness using 9 different hedging horizons and 25 different commodities. We discuss the concept of short‐ and long‐run hedge ratios and propose a technique to simultaneously estimate them. The empirical results indicate that the short‐run hedge ratios are significantly less than 1 and increase with the length of hedging horizon. We also find that hedging effectiveness increases with the length of hedging horizon. However, the long‐run hedge ratio is found to be close to the naïve hedge ratio of unity. This implies that, if the hedging horizon is long, then the naïve hedge ratio is close to the optimum hedge ratio. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Jrl Fut Mark 24:359–386, 2004

2005年国外大石油公司经营状况及发展动向

2005年,埃克森美孚、BP、壳牌、雪佛龙和道达尔的净利润总额达到1131亿美元,比上年上涨了29%;油气产量同比下降了3%,原油加工量和油品销售量也出现明显滑坡;受天然气储量增长的拉动,年末剩余可采油气储量为739亿桶油当量,与上年基本持平,油气储量接替率为107%,比上年增加了46个百分点,但石油储量接替率仅为62%;单位油气生产成本为4.92美元/桶,比2004年增加了20.4%.在新的经营环境下,五大石油公司对经营战略进行了调整.一是在加大投资力度的同时,保持审慎的投资原则,资本支出增幅小于国际原油价格上涨幅度.二是为利润的长期增长进行战略性投资,继续推行向上游倾斜的政策.三是进行资产优化组合,剥离成本高、缺乏发展潜力的非战略核心资产,提高资本回报率.四是选择符合发展战略、资产匹配性好的中型石油公司进行并购,以实现近期产量增长目标.五是为了减少再投资的风险,增加派息和股份回购,将高油价所带来的超额盈利回报股东.六是发展替代能源和可再生能源.

Looking for contagion in currency futures markets

This article tests whether there are pure contagion effects in both conditional means and volatilities among British pound, Canadian dollar, Deutsche mark, and Swiss franc futures markets during the 1992 ERM crisis. A conditional version of international capital asset pricing model (ICAPM) in the absence of purchasing power parity (PPP) is used to control for economic fundamentals. The empirical results indicate that overall there are no mean spillovers among those futures markets, but they are detected during the crisis period. That is, past return shocks originating in any one of the four markets have no impact on the other three markets during the entire sample period, suggesting that these markets are weak‐form efficient. However, this weak‐form market efficiency fails to hold during the market turmoil, especially for British pound and Swiss franc, and the sources of contagion‐in‐mean effects are mainly due to the return shocks originating in three European currency futures markets. As for the contagion‐in‐volatility, it is detected for British pound only because its conditional volatility is influenced by the negative volatility shocks from Canadian dollar, Deutsche mark, and Swiss franc, with Deutsche mark playing the dominant role in generating these shocks.
