Financing lease has bloomed as a new financing tool in China for the last several years. In this thesis I investigate the factors that influence China’s automobile financial leasing decisions by both lessors and lessees through market surveys. Based on Probit regression analysis of the data collected from 250 companies and 300 individuals, I find that a firm is more likely to use automobile financial leasing when its corporate tax rate is lower, growth potential is more stabilized, and profit is higher. It is also more likely to happen when a firm's long-term debt ratio and its degree of internationalization are higher. At the individual level, I find that the likelihood of individuals’ leasing decision is influenced by their risk preference, income level, and car price. Individuals’ gender, age and education level show no effect.

Using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) analysis, I further find that financing costs, service value-added, and products diversity are the three most important competitive factors for the auto financial leasing service providers. This is the case for both the corporate and individual customers in the sample. By contrast, the factors of sales channel and government relationship are found to be much less important. Finally, through an in-depth case study of the leasing company Shanghai Auto Financial Leasing, I find that the key factors determining the customers’ credit default risk are interest rate and automobile type. I also investigate factors that influence business risk during the automobile procurement stage, at the selling stage, and toward the disposition stage. The managerial implications of the above results are discussed throughout the thesis.

Description
There has been much debate in the world of academia over the valuation of conglomerates. This thesis proposes the use of the EVA theory in explaining fluctuations in conglomerates’ valuation, and we believe that ROIC, WACC, and ROIC-WACC are three indicators that to a certain extent explain these valuation fluctuations.

There has been much debate in the world of academia over the valuation of conglomerates. This thesis proposes the use of the EVA theory in explaining fluctuations in conglomerates’ valuation, and we believe that ROIC, WACC, and ROIC-WACC are three indicators that to a certain extent explain these valuation fluctuations. Through analysis of a sample containing 23 conglomerates, this thesis finds that ROIC, WACC, and ROIC-WACC exhibit positive correlation with valuation fluctuations. In the case study on Fosun, this thesis finds that ROIC-WACC is highly correlated with Fosun’s valuation fluctuations and next with ROIC. Thus this thesis conjectures that for investment companies for which investment capital is derived largely from insurance float, such as Fosun, ROIC-WACC is a better valuation tool.

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在我国经济体制改革和全球国际金融形势变化的大背景下,我国对金融高端人才的质量需求越来越高,但受行业发展影响,我国金融高素质人才的缺口很大,金融市场政策、环境变化过程中往往给金融机构带来较高风险,这也使得专业性、复合型和经验型成为衡量人才质量的附加标准。证监会作为证券公司的主管部门,有证监会任职经历的高管通常具有深厚的专业知识、丰富的审查经验以及政治关联资源等,所以证券公司引进外部人才通常也会选择监管背景的人才做高级管理人员,从而获得更多的竞争优势。现有文献关于高管背景的影响主要集中于有过政府部门工作经历的角度,还未有专门从监管背景的角度研究高管对企业绩效的影响。因此本文以证券公司作为样本,对监管背景高层人员来源结构与所在机构绩效的关系进行分析研究。本文通过分析得出以下结论:(1)证券公司高管的监督背景对公司绩效的影响呈现出倒U型关系;(2)证券公司高管中董事长(CEO)或总经理拥有监管背景对公司业绩的影响更显著;(3)市场化程度对证券公司高管的监管背景与公司绩效之间的倒U型关系起着调节作用,即证券公司所在地区的市场化程度越高,高管监管背景对公司绩效的影响越弱。

Description期限错配策略利用滚动短期融资支持长期投资,滚动短期融资本身极易导致资金链紧张,产生流动性风险。利用手工收集的2006-2018年A股上市公司独特数据,本文系统考察了企业投融资期限错配对发行信用债信用利差的影响。本文发现,期限错配越严重的企业,越有可能在发行信用债时被要求更高的信用利差,对于民营上市公司发行信用债尤其如此;利用再融资环境和“钱荒”事件进行的作用机制检验表明,企业投融资期限错配对发行信用债利差的影响主要是因为期限错配蕴含着较高的流动性风险; 利用工具变量、双重差分法和替代性度量等一系列稳健性检验仍能得出一致结论。再者,利用2006-2018 年我国开放式基金年度持股数据,从基金投资组合与持仓调整两个角度,实证检验了期限错配行为对于基金投资行为的影响。研究发现,期限错配产生的财务风险会降低基金对期限错配上市公司发行信用债的投资规模;且在实施期限错配当年,基金对持有的该上市公司的信用债更可能进行减持,由此表明期限错配会影响基金投资策略的形成。进一步的分析显示,基金所在基金管理公司为中外合资时,上述基金投资行为更加明显;同时,当基金持有民营上市公司以及处于紧缩性货币政策环境时,期限错配对于基金投资行为的影响更大。 最后,本文考察了期限错配下基金投资信用债的经济后果,分别从基金业绩、基金收益波动率和基金流量这三个维度进行了检验。实证结果显示,在控制其他可能影响基金收益及收益波动率的因素后,对期限错配上市公司信用债持有比重越小及减持比例越大的基金,当年业绩越好,且收益的波动率越低。再次,对于基金投资者,本文利用净申购率作为基金流量的代理变量,检验发现,基金投资者更热忠于追逐采取减少持有期限错配上市公司信用债这一投资策略的基金,表现为这类基金有更多的资金净流入,而且,相对于个人投资者,上述基金投资者的投资偏好在我国的机构投资者中表现得更加明显。

In this study I investigate the organizational strategies that Chinese power generation companies may use to reduce the impact of coal price increases on their profits. Organizations are open systems in that no organization possesses all the resources that it needs and all organizations must obtain resources from their external environments in order to survive. Resource dependent theory suggests that the most important goal of an organization is to find effective mechanisms to cope with its dependence on the external environments for resources that are critical to its survival. Chinese power generation companies traditionally rely heavily on coal as their raw materials, and an increase in coal price can have a significant negative impact on their profits. To address this issue, I first provide a systematic review of the resource dependence theory and research, with a focus on the strategies such as vertical integration, diversification, and hedging that organizations can undertake to reduce their dependence on the external environment as well as their respective benefits and costs. Next, I conduct a qualitative case analysis of the primary strategies the largest Chinese power generation companies have used to reduce their dependence on coal. I then explore a new approach that Chinese power generation companies may use to cope with increases in coal price, namely, by investing in an index of coal companies in the stock market. My regression analysis shows that coal price has a strong positive relation with the price of the coal company index. This finding suggests that it is possible for firms to reduce the negative impact of raw material price increase on their profits by investing in a stock market index of the companies that supply the raw materials that they depend on.
