Description中国商品期货市场经历30年发展,已初备协调资源分配、对冲经营风险的功能。但受产业自身和期货市场发展的制约,各期货品种市场有效性参差不齐。随着我国经济从增量阶段过渡到存量阶段,期货作为企业的价格管理和风险控制工具的重要性日益凸显,因此研究我国商品期货市场有效性具有非常好的现实意义。

本文开创性的从期货的基本功能——资源配置的角度出发,提出有效市场是指其期货价格能够对本行业社会资源起到合理的调配作用的市场。在内容安排上,本文首先总结了现有国际成熟期货品种的特点并找出能够反映期货对资源配置能力的四个指标假说,分别为期现回归性、利润波动性、库存波动性以及现金流变化,然后通过数学模型证明指标数据和品种成熟度的关联,最后应用该套指标对我国商品市场有效性进行检验。数学方法上,本文先采用Bai-Perron内生多重结构突变模型对时间序列进行突变点检验,然后对断点时间序列分别进行多元回归,并在剔除季节性和周期性后,通过平稳性检验、ARCH效应检验结果来确定相应的Garch模型,并用Garch模型来描述时间序列的波动性。

通过数学验证,我们认为期现回归性、利润波动性、库存波动性以及现金流变化这四个指标可以作为反映期货成熟度的检验指标,用该套方法对国内部分活跃品种检验后发现大连豆粕期货已经具备成熟品种的特征,本文认为豆粕期货市场是有效的;PTA、玉米淀粉期货的四个检验指标在近年来表现出时间序列优化的特点,但因时间较短尚不稳定,可以认为是接近成熟的品种;而螺纹钢和铝期货在多数指标上表现不佳,表明他们对社会资源配置能力较差,因此本文认为螺纹钢和铝期货市场是活跃但非有效的。通过进一步分析,本文认为品种的期现回归性差是制约其资源配置能力发挥的关键因素,而交易标的不明确、

仓单制作难度大、产业参与度低以及期货设计中的其他限制因素又是导致期现回归性差的重要原因。

Description中国证券市场一直存在着双重上市公司A、H股价差异现象,这一“同股同权不同价”的现象,长期以来都是国内外学者热议的课题之一。

本文在系统性整理前人研究成果基础上,首先对造成A、H股价差效应的内在逻辑进行了系统梳理,提炼出影响双重上市公司A、H股价格差异的9个潜在因素:信息不对称、需求差异、流动性差异、投机性差异、风险差异、公司治理结构、利率差异、市场强弱差异、汇率预期。其次,本文为各潜在影响因素构建了新的代理变量,建立面板数据模型,从全市场和行业两大视角做了实证分析,验证了影响双重上市公司A、H股价格差异的可能因素,且实证结果均通过了平稳性检验。实证结果显示:全市场视角下,仅公司治理结构和市场强弱差异对A、H价格差异的影响不显著。行业视角下,对于金融行业的双重上市公司而言,影响其A、H股价格差异的因素包括:需求差异、流动性差异、风险差异、市场强弱差异、利率差异;信息不对称、投机性差异、公司治理结构、汇率预期不具有显著影响。而对于非金融行业的双重上市公司而言,影响其A、H股价格差异的因素包括:信息不对称、需求差异、流动性差异、风险差异、投机性差异、市场强弱差异、利率差异、汇率预期;公司治理结构则不是显著的影响因素。

本文在实证分析所得结论的基础上,考虑到当前A、H股市场的现状,提出了加强资本市场双向开放、大力发展以基金为代表的机构投资者、坚定推行股票发行注册制改革、推动金融创新、丰富投资工具等建议。这一研究结果对于推动我国资本市场进一步完善,具有重要的理论与现实意义。

During the past decade, the Chinese bond market has been rapidly developing. The percentage of bond to total social funding is constantly increasing. The structure and behavior of investors are crucial to the construction of China’s bond market. Due to specific credit risks, bond market regulation usually involves in rules to control investor adequancy. It is heatedly discussed among academia and regulators about whether individual investors are adequate to directly participate in bond trading. This paper focuses on the comparison between individual and institutional bond investors, especially their returns and risks. Based on the comparison, this paper provides constructive suggestions for China’s bond market development and the bond market investor structure.

Description随着经营中赊销占比的增加,对企业的营运资本管理能力要求更高,而如何优化营运资金项目,特别是其中的应收账款和存货等流动资产对企业意义重大。混凝土企业的存货占比很小,应收账款在企业流动性资金中的占比极高,影响营运资本周转期的主要因素为应收账款周转期,如何有效提高营运资本效率,特别是应收账款回收效率,是混凝土企业在市场竞争中求得生存的核心之一。以占用营运资金形成应收帐款促进销售会给企业带来一定的优势,也会为企业带来一定的风险,应收账款增加带来的营运资本管理是财务管理的重要事实,需要准确监视和适当管理,企业必须了解应收帐款的规模、性质以及时限,并深入分析讨论这些因素会对企业的绩效带来的潜在影响,合理发挥应收帐款的作用,确保企业营运资本处于正常、合理水平。本文首先以营运资本周转期为核心被解释变量,查看影响不同企业营运资本周转期差异的原因,并基于对这些原因的分析,建立混凝土企业营运资本风险,特别是应收账款风险的预警机制,其次,探讨营运资本周转期与企业绩效的相关关系,验证不同企业的营运资本周转期差异是否会影响企业绩效,在数据支撑的范围内,对影响大小进行一定程度的探讨,为江苏省混凝土行业公司提供一定的经营指导意见,同时为不同企业探索营运资本周转期与企业绩效的相关关系提供参考。 本文研究发现对于江苏省内不同混凝土企业,营运资本周转期与企业绩效正相关且显著,这表明混凝土企业的贸易特征非常明显,企业绩效更多的来自于降低营运资本效率。同时,研究还发现,企业站点数量、周边站点数量、银行承兑汇票结算、其他结算方式、激励机制、客户付款流程、分类催收、第三方催收、竞争形势、高管交际能力这些变量与营运资本周转期密切相关,这些维度分别属于企业规模、企业竞争、资金结算、激励机制、客户信息、账款催收、高管特征等大类,表明提升混凝土企业营运资本周转效率的方式方法多样,值得行业内企业家们总结与探索。

Description
Since the 2008 financial crisis, the total assets managed by U.S. mutual funds have frequently hit new highs and the industry has become increasingly concentrated.

Since the 2008 financial crisis, the total assets managed by U.S. mutual funds have frequently hit new highs and the industry has become increasingly concentrated. In the meantime, two strategies have emerged in the American mutual fund industry: active and passive management. What factors affect the market shares of firms that adopted these two different strategies?

Building on strategic management theories, I suggest that mutual fund families that adopted active and passive management strategies tend to compete in different dimensions. Active management fund families tend to implement the product differentiation strategy, competing on “product quality” through excess-returns, innovative and differentiated fund products; passively managed fund families focus more on "price competition" by conducting an overall cost leadership strategy.

This research examines the driven factors of fund families’ market share. The results show that: the market share of actively managed fund families is more sensitive to positive impact of fund performance, while passive management firms are more sensitive to negative effect of management fees and total loads; 12b-1 expense improves the competitiveness of active fund families and thus enhance their market shares but it has negative impact on passive fund families. In addition, high turnover decreases the market share of all fund families, especially for passively managed families. The outcome reveals the latest US mutual industry orientation: products differentiation, turnover, management fee have greater impact on market share while the competition of fund performance is diminishing. The Matthew effect in US mutual fund industry is outstanding. Industrial competition dimension expands from performance and products to cost cutting.

Empirical analysis on Chinese mutual fund families is also conducted. Different from the US, there is only small number of mutual fund families targeting passive management products. The results show that the distribution channel has the largest impact on Chinese mutual fund family market share and investors are more willing to chase performance than to consider cost-efficient fund families. This study then analyses reasons behind the difference of Chinese and American mutual fund industries.

Description当前中国经济面临严峻挑战,新冠肺炎疫情的三年对于中国的许多产业造成了非常大的冲击。这些领域和薄弱环节需要大量的公共投资来实现复苏和发展。然而,由于公共投资存在“政府失灵”和“市场失灵”的问题,开发性金融的作用变得异常重要。通过寻找政府和市场的合适边界,并采用良好的组织变革和金融创新来修正两种失灵,开发性金融可以为经济复苏提供重要的可持续解决方案。本文围绕外国政府贷款在中国运作开发性金融项目这一核心话题展开:首先,本文定义了开发性金融项目的特点,并借助Coase和Hart的相关理论区分了商业银行、政策性银行和开发性金融机构之间的不同特征。其次,本文采用理论分析的方法,从组织变革、金融创新两个角度,对EKPAC在中国的外国政府贷款成功经营发展进行了深入剖析,并找到了背后可持续、可复制的理论模型。最后,本文使用实证分析的方法,基于手动收集的EKPAC的开发性金融项目数据,探究外国政府贷款对地方产业的投资的影响,并发现外国政府贷款的使用对当地外资企业的公司的固定资产投资率存在挤入效应,即每增加1%的外国政府贷款,会使得当地外企投资水平上升0.7%。这些挤入效应源于当地营商环境的提升,与Hart的合约理论中对合约保护的重视一致。最后,本文进一步研究了外国政府贷款对关键产业的长期影响。 本文所研究的外国政府贷款模式对开发性金融的国际化应用具有广泛的价值。

Description政府引导基金的兴起是近十年中国创投实践中最重要的现象之一。根据投中数据统计,截至2020年,国内共成立1,349支政府引导基金,政府引导基金自身总规模达21,452亿元。然而,引导基金存在资源盘活问题,根据清科私募通数据显示,截至2019年11月底,57%的政府引导基金尚未发生过投资,而已投资的项目中,存在明显的和市场化资金争夺利益的情况,并未发挥引导效果,主要系其作为公共资本,与社会资本在创投引导基金的目标选择上存在冲突,社会资本追求利润最大化, 而公共资本则追求政府特定目标的实现,因而势必要求一定的补偿机制存在。什么样的影响?实践中应该选择什么样的补偿机制?对于这些问题,无论是引导基金的中国实践还是学术研究成果,均没有形成一致的看法。因此本文通过手动搜集整理各级引导基金管理方法,对目前我国实际应用的补偿机制设计作出分类,并以此基准运用实证分析的方法,首先确认了政府引导基金的正向补偿机制(收益奖励和亏损弥补)能够通过缓解社会资本与公共资本的目标冲突显著提升股权投资机构的投资效率和对当地的返投意愿,而明股实债作为一种负面机制则会显著削弱其投资效率和返投意愿。在此基础上,本文进一步考察不同补偿方式及其组合对创投效率产生的异质性影响,从而为政策制定者科学制定让利机制提供参考。此外,相比于参股国有背景创投机构而言,引导基金参股非国有背景股权投资机构时提供正向补偿机制,对其投资效率和返投意愿的提升作用更明显。本文拓宽了股权投资机构提升投资效率的战略选择,对引导基金主管部门选择补偿机制也有一定的参考意义。

Description克服外来者劣势是提高新兴市场企业国际化绩效的关键,本文从高管团队构建视角出发,采用多案例比较研究,提炼了新兴市场企业在国际化进程中实施高管团队构建的过程模型,并分析了不同模式与不同阶段的国际化推进机制。新兴市场企业国际化的高管团队构建将经历“配置-适应-融合”三个阶段,配置是企业根据国际化基础与扩张需求选拔内外部高管的阶段,适应是内外部高管成员互动、交流并进行成员动态调整的阶段,融合是内外部高管成员合为一体、形成新组织结构与组织制度的阶段。同时,根据高管团队的核心领导力量的不同分为“内部适应模式”与“外部培育模式”。内部适应模式下,企业从内部选拔具备创业精神与学习适应能力的管理者作为内派高管,并在国际市场引入兼具专业特长与综合管理能力的海外高管,通过内派高管持续学习吸收海外高管的经验知识,最终形成以内派团队为领导核心,实现战略一致、分工有效、利益协同的国际化经营团队。其中,内派团队的创业精神、学习适应能力、沟通协调能力是提高国际化绩效的关键。外部培育模式下,企业在具有国际出口基础的市场上选拔具备创业意愿、专业能力与行业声誉的海外高管,并在内外部团队并行发展的过程中,有意识地促进双方融合并培育海外高管的创业能力,最终形成以海外高管为领导核心,实现战略协同、资源互补、愿景一致的国际化经营团队。其中,海外高管的创业意愿与沟通协作能力是实现团队融合的关键。 此外,在不同高管团队构建阶段,外来者劣势缓解与国际化绩效提升的机制有显著差异。配置阶段,高管特征与国际扩张战略诉求匹配是提升团队绩效的关键;适应阶段,国际身份塑造、社会网络扩张与新能力构建是提高企业国际化绩效的关键;融合阶段,合作机制与治理机制等制度优化是实现团队融合与国际化持续扩张的关键。 本研究基于高管团队构建视角提炼了不同国际化经验基础的企业实现高管团队构建的动态过程模型,丰富了新兴市场企业国际化、高管团队构建等理论研究,为面临国际扩张的新兴市场企业提供一定启示。

This study aims to explore the impact of employee incentives on innovation in the Chinese inductive manufacturing industry. Using a sample of publicly listed inductive manufacturing companies in China, we construct a panel dataset spanning from 1994 to 2022 and employ a multiple regression model for empirical analysis. Our findings reveal that employee incentive programs have a significant positive effect on the performance of inductive companies in terms of inductive reliability experiments, and the number of patent applications, granted patents, and patent citations over the next two years. Particularly, the positive relationship between employee incentives and innovation is more pronounced in companies with higher ownership concentration. This study provides empirical evidence supporting the crucial role of employee incentives in facilitating corporate innovation in Chinese inductive manufacturing firms. Furthermore, the results provide valuable insights for firms in formulating stock ownership structures and employee incentive plans, as well as policy implications for developing China's high-end manufacturing industries.
