Description近20年,中国品牌零售业的快速发展使其成为全球第三大零售市场。消费者的需求量在大幅增长，对于本土企业来说，机遇与挑战并存。
对于连锁型品牌零售企业，员工是其产品和服务的载体。而如何做好不同层次的人员的激励体系，并得以踏实的落实和执行，是企业经营中非常关键的环节，也是品牌零售企业在竞争中获取优势的根本保证。另外，由于连锁零售企业基层员工流动性大、总体素质较低，如何对这部分员工实施有效的绩效考核,成为很多连锁零售企业管理人员面临的一个难题。
本文将长期和短期激励作为主要的研究内容。从整体国内企业来看，运转良好的绩效考评体系并不多，大部分企业的绩效考评体系只注重短期激励而忽视了长期激励的作用，绩效考评关注的是目标的实现，与员工的发展相脱节。因此，如何做好品牌企业的激励体系，如何在人才竞争中取得先机，并最大化企业利润，是本文研究的重心。
目前的研究空白在于对连锁型店铺的激励绩效。而考虑到品牌零售中的连锁经营往往涉及到成百上千家门店，涉及到的从业人数较多，因而对门店的激励绩效的成败是关系到企业整体激励绩效好坏的关键。
本文对激励绩效方案的相关理论进行回顾、分析与总结，从委托代理理论、激励理论、交易成本理论和产权理论入手，分析连锁型品牌零售企业的激励绩效特点。连锁型品牌零售企业合伙制本质上与特许经营精神及设计理念一致，而想要改进的正是特许经营中加盟店与总部的博弈与消耗，形成利益共同体，达到企业价值最大化的目标。
通过连锁型品牌零售企业绩效激励的真实案例（永辉超市合伙人制度、拉夏贝尔店铺合伙人制度、康奈零投入型与交股金型两种店铺合伙人制度）分析得出风险共担、超额利润分成的合伙人制度在连锁型品牌零售企业激励绩效方案设计中的可行性及意义，并从中发现了已有实践存在的问题，并提出建议。
店铺合伙人制度激励店长、提高单店销售业绩、减少交易成本、提高管理效率的正向作用毋庸置疑，建议在实践中积极推行与完善。

Description财富管理是一个高度信息不对称的行业，因此投资人需要尽可能减少自身的不确定来做投资决策，通过文献整理，本文发现通过建立信任来消除不确定性是很多投资人都会选择的帮助投资决策的方法。纵观历史，美国2007-2008年的金融危机也恰恰导致金融市场投资人对于理财机构信任的严重缺失，相同的情况也可能发生在中国财富管理市场，因此本文将此选作研究重点，希望深入研究财富管理公司投资人对理财师的信任来得到一系列结论。本文最终发现就平台和理财师相比，投资人更看重平台的信誉度。 投资人大多认为平台的信誉度要高于理财师的信誉度，但是这并不意味着理财师不重要。本文进一步的分析发现，多数投资人会和理财师建立起一种私人联系，且该私人关系有助于加强客户和平台的联系。投资人认为行业经验、为人诚恳，说话可信以及责任心是加强这种私人关系的重要因素。最后，投资人对于钜派平台的信任主要由对于理财师的信任来维持，同时对于理财师的信任主要来自与情感信任。本文的发现对财富管理平台具有战略意义。

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。

Description航天产业属于技术密集型行业，现阶段中国航天的发展需要巨额资金和科研人力资本。传统航天企业内员工相较商业航天企业缺乏创新精神，“搭便车”现象严重，缺乏以创新为内在增长动力的传统航天产业，其发展持续性终究得不到满足。相比而言，国内外的商业航天企业却展现出较强的创新能力。遗憾的是，虽然航天产业的高科技属性决定了科研人员的关键角色，但目前的研究几乎没有系统地研究过不同的体制对航天产业创新的影响机制，而有限的研究也集中在讨论宏观环境对行业创新的影响。本研究将弥补这方面研究的不足，分析传统航天模式与新兴商业航天模式下科研人员创新力差别的内在动因，力求给传统航天产业的发展提供有实际意义的参考和建议。
作者自2008年加入传统航天院所从事科研工作，2014年创立中国第一家商业卫星公司，在实践中充分利用面试知识型员工的机会，并深入访谈了不同职级的科研人员，覆盖了30家商业航天公司（截至2016年上市公司54家），包括来自中国传统航天的科研院所、直属航天企业及新兴商业航天公司300余人。通过多次沟通、邮件往来等方式进一步调查研究，发现不同所有制公司的员工在组织认同度方面存在较为明显的差异。为了系统科学地理解组织认同度在航天行业内如何影响不同体制下的科研人员的创新，本研究采用问卷调查的形式收集了1200份问卷，研究在传统航天及商业航天这两种不同所有制的航天企业中，组织认同度与科研人员创新能力的关系。从实证结果来看，航天产业员工组织认同度会显著影响员工的创新绩效，组织认同度越高的员工其创新能力往往更强，员工创新绩效越高。与此同时，通过进一步研究分析发现，航天产业公司所有权属性的差异在组织认同影响员工创新能力的过程中起着调节作用。具体而言，传统航天企业中的员工，其组织认同度对其员工创新能力影响更小，商业航天公司员工创新能力受到其组织认同度的影响相对较大。
研究结果从某种程度上反映了航天领域不同所有权属性企业所具有的不同的组织文化、组织价值观与组织结构会导致其员工个体组织认同度对其创新行为的影响产生差异。从组织文化的角度出发，商业航天企业其组织文化相对于传统航天企业而言更加自由，对员工创意、创新行为限制更少，这种自由的文化刺激并提高了员工的组织认同度，使得个体创新行为的效果更加显著。另外，从组织价值观的角度而言，商业航天企业员工相对于传统航天企业员工来讲更加看重创新行为的意义，其对员工创新行为的重视使其员工组织认同度对员工取得创新绩效产生了催化作用。最后，从组织结构的角度来看，商业航天企业其管理层相对而言往往更愿意接受企业中员工的创意与创新行为，给员工留下了相当大的创新空间，这种灵活的管理方式从某种程度上也会促进组织认同度对员工创新行为产生影响。

Description
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
Based on multiple case studies of the transactions in China by private equity funds, this paper attempts to explore the value-creation capabilities of private equity funds at the transaction/deal level.
Previous studies on financial performance of PE funds utilized data collected from publically traded companies in European/US markets. By measuring financial performance of both “pre- and post-transactions,” these studies researched two questions: 1) Do buyout funds create value? 2) If they do, what are the sources of value creation? In general, studies conclude that private equity/buyout funds do create value at both the deal level and investor level. They also identified four possible sources of such value creation: 1) undervaluation, 2) leverage effect, 3) better governance, and 4) operational improvement.
However, relatively little is known about the process of value creation. In this study, I attempt to fill that gap, revealing the “secret recipe” of value creation.
By carefully looking into the process of value creation, this study suggests five propositions covering capabilities at 1) deal selection/screening, 2) deal structuring, 3) operational improvement, 4) investment exit, and 5) Top Management Team (TMT). These capabilities at private equity/buyout funds are critical factors for value creation. In a thorough review of the value-creation process, this paper hopes to:
1) Share real-life experiences and lessons learned on private equity transactions in China as a developing economy.
2) Reveal the process of deal/transaction to observe measures taken place within deal/transaction for value creation.
3) Show how well-executed strategies and capabilities in deal selection/screening, deal structuring, operational improvement, and investment exit can still create value for private equity firms without financial leverage.
4) Share the experience of State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) reform participated in by private equity firms in China. This could provide valuable information for policy makers in China.

Description新世纪以来中国电影的产业化改革与探索愈发呈现良好的态势，国产院线电影也在实践中努力赢得观众和票房市场。其中类型喜剧电影，最符合商业电影规律、最顺应影视市场需求、最能获得票房收益而备受影视创投机构、制作公司青睐。本论文研究对象聚焦类型喜剧电影，通过“欢声笑语里的财富”现象，探究类型喜剧电影内部本体构成要素与外部客观促成要素的关联；以通过分析自变量与因变量因素对中国电影票房之类型喜剧影响因素进行实证研究，为影视创投和影视制作总结并提供可靠建议。
本论文整体结构包括：第一部分为导论，包括研究背景、目的意义，相关文献综述与文献评述和论文创新性。第二部分聚焦类型喜剧本身，从电影学范畴的电影本体出发，探究“笑”的心理、社会与文化内涵，并分析将“笑”对经济领域的延伸。第三部分以影视投资、票房为依托，从现象和数据中探寻影响类型喜剧电影的因素，为展开中国电影票房之类型喜剧影响因素实证研究做好理论的铺垫。第四与第五部分则基于上述理论进行实证检验，选用2013-2020年电影样本，采用多元线性回归模型研究喜剧类型对票房的吸引力，以及不同种类型喜剧对电影票房的提振效果作用差异。研究发现喜剧电影对电影票房有显著的提振作用；以及研究电影的外部影响因素（续集效应）对电影票房的作用。发现续集电影有更好的票房表现，续集效应的票房提升作用在喜剧电影中表现的更加明显。
本论文研究成果最终将回归到“欢声笑语里的财富”本身；即“类型复合喜剧”对促进电影与金融产业的互动关联、实现更加可持续化发展，以及进而推动经济及文化业的发展。

Description城市商业银行是我国银行业体系中的重要组成部分，在新冠疫情的背景下，本文从对我国商业银行不良贷款的成因进行分析，从新冠疫情前后城商行不良贷款、盈利能力、资本充足性等角度进行比较，总结新冠疫情之后城商行不良贷款规模上升、区域分化、不良处置加大等特征变化。然后，从企业、个人和银行本身等路径全面系统地分析新冠疫情对城商行不良贷款的直接影响，并从“宽信用”、“宽监管”和“宽货币”等政策层面对城商行不良贷款的间接影响机制进行分析。在实证分析上选取2018年一季度至2020年四季度的9个经济指标作为控制变量，分成宏观、行业和银行等三个层次，考虑到数据的可得性，选取20家上市城商行的不良贷款率作为被解释变量，通过建立连续型双重差分模型对新冠疫情对我国城市商业银行不良贷款率的影响进行实证分析，并进行稳定性和影响机制检验，得出了受疫情冲击越严重的地区，经济受影响越明显，因而城商行的不良贷款率增加得越多的结论，而且疫情对城商行不良贷款率且具有连续且时滞性的影响。相比高拨备覆盖率的城市商业银行，疫情更能提高低拨备覆盖率、抵御风险较低的城商行的不良贷款率。选取银行资本充足率作为被解释变量进行了稳健性检验。选取工业增加值和居民人均收入作为渠道变量，进行影响机制检验，结果说明工业增加值和居民人均收入对城商行不良贷款有负向的影响。最后，在理论和实证结果的基础上，对城商行不良贷款处置和有效预防疫情带来不良风险的措施提出相关建议。

Description
Private placement is an important financing tool for listed companies in China, and the lock-up arrangement is its supporting system. The Efficient Market Hypothesis suggests that, if investor expectations are unbiased, there will be no abnormal fluctuations in the stock prices of listed companies before and after the unlocking day. However, around the time of the unlocking of private placement shares, the stock prices generally show a V-shaped pattern.
Through the empirical analysis of the Chinese A-share stocks from May 8th,2006 to December 31st, 2016, I found that from the 40th day before the unlocking day to the 90th day after, the stock price showed an evident first-downward-then upward trend. The lowest price appeared near the unlocking day. Meanwhile, the greater stocks fall before the unlocking day, the greater prices rise after that. The characteristics of the distinctive difference between the stock prices before and after the unlocking day can provide investment opportunities.
By reviewing research on investor behavior, this paper suggests that the V-shaped pattern can be explained by the influence of investors’ psychological factors on their trading behavior. The general performance of the stocks before the unlocking day is negative due to the increasing uncertainty perceived by investors. After the unlocking day, the uncertainty gradually disappears and the stock rebounds. In addition, I found that stock returns during the lock-up period, shareholder background, and the length of lock-up period also had significant impacts on the V-shaped price trend.
