Optimal inventory and pricing policies for remanufacturable leased products

In this paper we consider a company which leases new products and also sells remanufactured versions of the new product that become available at the end of their lease periods. When the amount of end-of-lease items in stock is not sufficient to meet the demand for remanufactured products, the firm may purchase additional cores from a third-party supplier. We develop a dynamic programming formulation for determining the optimal price of remanufactured products, and optimal payment structure for the leased products. Our objective is to maximize the discounted system-wide profit over a finite horizon. The profit function consists of revenues that are obtained from remanufactured product sales and leasing, remanufacturing and manufacturing costs, inventory holding and shortage costs. We consider a consumer choice based demand model for mapping a potential customer into one of the product segments (a remanufactured product customer or a customer for a leased product with a particular lease period) for a given price/lease payment vector. We explore several properties of the discounted profit function and provide insight on the behavior of pricing and inventory policies. We also investigate the effect of key product characteristics such as deterioration in age, cost of shortage in remanufacturable product inventory, and key market characteristics such as relative willingness-to-pay for buying a remanufactured product and relative willingness-to-pay for leasing a new product on optimal pricing policies through a computational study.     

土地出让金收支管理中存在的问题及建议——对吉林省延边朝鲜族自治州土地出让金收支情况的调查

随着经济市场化的不断加深,土地出让金收入成为地方财政的重要资金来源,在解决地方财力不足、缓解地方财政支出等方面发挥了重要作用。但是,对延边州的调查表明,土地出让金收入在征收、使用和管理等方面还存在较多问题。为此本文针对延边州土地出让金收入的情况进行分析并提出了一些建议。     

金融危机下新疆融资租赁业发展的思考

2008年2月新疆融资租赁业重组完成。纵观其发展历程，本文认为新疆融资租赁业存在着租赁设备结构和承租方性质单一等多种发展难题，而外部制约因素则与新疆经济环境欠佳、市场化程度低等有关。最后指出融资租赁凭借其独特融资、促销和理财功能，可以通过改善融资租赁业的生存和发展环境、加强和其他金融机构的协作等一系列策略，实现金融租赁业的快速发展。     

论我国商业银行金融租赁业务解禁后的发展

金融租赁与商业银行联系紧密,它是商业银行最重要的中间业务之一。在我国,商业银行的金融租赁业务由于政策所限,其作用和意义远未被充分重视。2007年1月,我国商业银行的金融租赁业务重新解禁。这对于我国金融租赁行业和银行业的创新发展具有重要的现实意义,但是,商业银行开展金融租赁业务也面临着种种问题和风险。因此,本文在探讨商业银行开展金融租赁业务的意义和可行性同时,也着重分析了其所要面临的主要障碍,并提出了相应的对策性建议。     

Asset liquidity and financial contracts: Evidence from aircraft leases

Financial contracting theories agree that more-liquid assets decrease the expected cost of external financing, thus making leasing more attractive and reducing lessors’ equilibrium return. However, the literature has ambiguous predictions about the effect of liquidity on the maturity of leases. These predictions are further complicated by the existence of two types of lease contracts—operating and capital—that differ in whether asset ownership transfers to the lessee at the end of the contract. Using data from commercial aircraft, I find that more-liquid assets (1) make leasing, operating leasing in particular, more likely; (2) have shorter operating leases; (3) have longer capital leases; and (4) command lower markups of operating lease rates.     

去产能政策与融资租赁

本文对去产能政策和融资租赁之间的因果关系和内在机理进行了深入研究。基于2007—2016年中国上市公司的融资租赁交易数据的实证分析发现,去产能政策推动了融资租赁规模的扩张,而融资租赁规模的扩张又反过来削弱了去产能政策的效果,但程度有限。进一步分析表明,去产能政策从需求和供给两方面推动了融资租赁的扩张:去产能政策限制了产能过剩企业从银行等主流融资渠道获得长期资金的能力,这一方面激发了这些企业对融资租赁等融资方式的需求,另一方面也增强了银行通过融资租赁进行监管套利的动机。在党的十九大提出的“经济高质量发展”的背景下,本文发现有助于制定更加科学有效、与金融体系相互协调的产业政策。     

金融供给侧改革背景下融资租赁空间集聚的创新效应研究 ——基于空间杜宾模型的实证分析

融资租赁是金融供给侧的重要组成部分,也是服务实体经济的重要途径;其行业发展呈现：高速增长但发展水平较低,区域极度不平衡的同时向特定地区集聚。基于2007-2017年省际面板数据,采用空间杜宾模型来考察融资租赁与创新之间的关系,结果显示：融资租赁存在空间集聚与溢出效应,并且随着交易规模的扩大对本地区和周边地区的创新产出均有明显的正向促进作用。低集聚区域促进效应不显著,而高聚集区域具有显著性,说明空间集聚是创新效应显著性发生的重要原因,这是理解“融资租赁—创新”效应显著发生的关键。进一步地,对高集聚区域的Marshall和Willianson效应检验发现,Willianson拐点已出现,意味着融资租赁发生了过度集聚。鉴于此,在低聚集区域,应坚持引导租赁企业空间集聚策略;而在高集聚地区,需要构建金融、信息、信用和人力资本的有机生态系统,充分挖掘融资租赁的集聚效应以延缓Ｗillianson拐点。     

开办地级城市金融租赁业务的思考

租赁具有融通资金和商品交易的双重功能,具有其他金融产品部不替代的职能,在金融市场中占有重要地位,一个职能完善的金融市场不能没有金融租赁业的参与,本文从租赁业务在世界及我国的发展、地级城市开办金融租赁业务的经济基础、地级城市开办金融租赁业务的必要性、开办地级城市金融租赁的建议四个方面,对地级城市开办金融租赁业务进行了研究。     

巴塞尔协议Ⅲ对金融租赁业的影响及对策：基于风险指标体系与业务盈利模式的分析

由于有与母体银行风险并表的需要,金融租赁公司将受到巴塞尔协议III逐步实施直接或间接的影响。本文从新标准所设定的风险监管指标体系调整出发,逐层分析了资本充足率、贷款拨备率、拨备覆盖率等指标要求调整对金融租赁公司的业务盈利模式、规模扩张方式、风险管理理念和公司治理结构带来的影响,并从业务模式转型、与母体银行协同合作、专业团队、信息系统等视角提出金融租赁公司的应对策略。在巴塞尔协议新标准的要求下,金融租赁业从外延式扩张向内涵式提升转型具有高度紧迫性。     

Considerations on the subject of lease accounting

The question of the correct method for recording lease transactions has already been the subject of debate both domestically and internationally for some time now (2009). The discussion on a set of rules for recording such operations has recently been fuelled by the inclusion in the FASB and IASB's agendas of a joint project regarding accounting rules for both the lessor and the lessee. To this very moment the preliminary output of this joint project has been the drafting of a discussion paper published on 19 March 2009. The present work offers a critical commentary on the main innovations introduced by the boards on the subject of lease accounting and illustrates an alternative accounting model which, starting with the identification of the essential economic elements of any lease contract, would be best suited to representing, in accounting terms, the reasoning and the actual purpose of a lease transaction.
