Description
This study investigates the relation between credit supply competition among banks and their clients’ conditional accounting conservatism (i.e., asymmetric timely loss recognition). The Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act (IBBEA) of 1994 permits banks and bank holding companies to expand their business across state lines, introducing a positive shock to credit supply competition in the banking industry. The increase in credit supply competition weakens banks’ bargaining power in the negotiation process, which in turn may weaken their ability to demand conservative financial reporting from borrowers. Consistent with this prediction, results show that firms report less conservatively after the IBBEA is passed in their headquartered states. The effect of the IBBEA on conditional conservatism is particularly stronger for firms in states with a greater increase in competition among banks, firms whose operations are more concentrated in their headquarter states, firms with greater financial constraints, and firms subject to less external monitoring. Robustness tests confirm that the observed decline in conditional conservatism is causally related to the passage of IBBEA. Overall, this study highlights the impact of credit supply competition on financial reporting practices.

Description
Insider trading potentially reveals proprietary information, allowing rivals to compete more effectively against the insiders' firm. This paper examines whether proprietary costs are associated with insiders' trading decisions and the profitability of their trades. Using a variety of approaches to identify proprietary information risk, I find proprietary costs significantly deter insiders' trading activities. The deterrence effect is more pronounced when insider trading is likely to be more informative to rivals. Specifically, trades by top executives, non-routine trades, and trades at low complexity firms are curbed to a greater extent by proprietary costs. Examining the mechanisms of this deterrence effect, I find firms with higher proprietary costs are more likely to impose insider trading restrictions, and insiders' trading decisions are more sensitive to proprietary costs when they have higher share ownership of the company. These results suggest insiders reduce trading activities not only due to firm policies, but also due to incentive alignment. Finally, when insiders trade despite higher proprietary costs, they earn significantly higher abnormal profits from their purchase transactions. Overall, this study suggests product market considerations are an important factor associated with insiders' trading decisions and profitability of their trades. These findings are likely to be of interest to regulators and corporate boards in setting insider trading policies, and help investors make investment decisions using insider trading signals.

Description近年来，中国内地FOF业务发展迅速，但在业务发展初期的实践中，FOF管理人在遴选基金资产和预测其未来收益等方面遇到诸多困难，传统的FOF组合构建技术往往不理想。本文借鉴海外因子配置相关理论，尝试通过归因分析基金的收益来源，寻找能深度刻画基金经理管理能力的特质因子，创新性地提出了基于权益类基金的特质因子构建FOF组合的新方法。本文选择100家权益类私募基金，通过因子拆解剥离了市场、行业、风格等共同影响因素，遴选出特质因子表现更优的基金经理，而不是仅仅选择过往业绩好的基金经理，并基于特质因子构建一组FOF组合，与此同时，运用传统方法构建基于基金资产的另一组FOF组合，对比两种组合方法的组合绩效，实证结果显示基于特质因子的FOF组合绩效更优。本文进一步运用转移概率矩阵和相关性分析，找到了基于特质因子的FOF组合绩效更优的证据，即特质因子延续性更好和相关性更低。与基于基金资产的FOF组合配置传统方法相比，由于基金的特质因子延续性更好，运用历史数据预测未来收益的确定性相对更好；基金的特质因子之间的相关性低，大幅增强了FOF组合配置的稳定性和分散性。总体来讲，基于特质因子的FOF组合配置方法为FOF管理人提供了一个更量化、更有效、更稳健的组合配置新路径，能有效提升FOF组合配置的绩效。

Description
Recent research finds that there is significant variation in stock market participation by state and suggests that there might be state-specific factors that determine household stock market participation in the United States. Using household survey data, I examine how accounting quality of public companies at the state level affects households’ stock market participation decisions. I find that households residing in states where local public companies have better accounting quality are more likely to invest in stocks. Moreover, those households invest greater amounts of their wealth in the stock market. Cross-sectional tests find that the effect of accounting quality on stock market participation is more pronounced for less affluent and less educated households, consistent with prior findings that lacking familiarity with and trust in the stock market is an important factor deterring those types of households from stock investments. In state-level tests, I find that these household outcomes affect income inequality, which is less severe in states where high public-firm accounting quality spurs more stock market participation by poorer households. Conversely, in states where public firms have lower accounting quality, stock market participation among poorer households is less common, and a larger share of high equity returns accrues to richer households, exacerbating income inequality.

Description当前，民营企业已成为中国重要支撑力量，而未来5到10年，约有300多万家民营企业面临传承困境。但学术研究领域在传承整体框架、配套机制建设方面有完整论述、有成功案例的所见不多。首先，针对以上民营企业的传承现状，本文将研究、回答五个问题：1、成功传承的标准和要素是什么？2、传承模式有哪几种，每种模式配套的传承机制是什么，该如何建立？3、民营企业应选择何种传承模式，如何选择？4、民营企业的整套传承方案如何落地搭建？5、是否有普适性的、可借鉴的民营企业传承模型，包含哪些要素？
其次，本文主要使用文献研究、案例研究、实证分析，选取中、美、德、日四家不同传承阶段、不同传承模式的知名民营企业，对其传承情况进行深入研究。在此基础上，归纳总结出传承的关键要素，对前述五个问题进行系统解答。同时，本文创新性地结合理论研究、案例研究及企业实践，提出适合我国大部分民营企业的传承全周期管理框架。
最后，根据以上研究，本文总结出关于中国民营企业传承的八大结论及建议：1、本质：权力的交接和义务的传递；2、两大风险：继任风险（继任人的能力要求）、代理风险（继任人对企业核心理念的意愿/忠诚度）；3、降低风险的四大机制：领袖锻造、人才梯队、管控治理、激励机制；4、两大成功要素：“选领袖”和“建机制”；5、四大机制是并行推进、相辅相成的，要尽早构建、持续优化；6、三大模式：家族成员继承、内生培养经理人、外聘职业经理人；7、民营企业传承模型包含七大要素、五大步骤；8、民营企业在制定传承方案时，除了要注意传承模型中的要素，还要注意其他关键要素。

Description
This research study aims to find out the way how goodwill should be evaluated. This paper is about accounting for goodwill which will provide general information about goodwill value, especially of public companies. Additionally, I will discuss sources of goodwill, the importance of goodwill, why it is important to evaluate goodwill correctly, and what methods have been applied to evaluate goodwill. This thesis will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of both methods of accounting for goodwill which are the impairment testing method and the amortization method. This study is done by researching studies, journal articles, reviews, books, and websites about accounting. Lastly, this study will provide a suggestion for how goodwill should be evaluated effectively.
