Description
The current study combines field study, survey study, and public financial reports, and conducts an in-depths comprehensive study of the cost of the global tire industry. By comparing the price and the total cost structure of standardized tire products, we investigate Chinese tire industry’s global competitiveness, especially in light of China’s fast increasing labor cost. By constructing a comprehensive cost index (CCI), this dissertation estimates the evolution and forecasts the trend of global tire industry’s cost structure. Based on our empirical analysis, we provide various recommendations for Chinese tire manufacturers, other manufacturing industries, and foreign trade policy makers.

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. 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
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。

Description2020年的疫情导致全球多数经济体进行史无前例的货币超发，美国的货币超发水平甚至超过二战时期，货币总量快速上升推升资产价格，比特币成为大类资产中的领跑者，越来越受到市场的关注和重视，作为新生事物，全球监管机构对比特币普遍持谨慎态度，主流金融机构虽然对比特币有所关注，但是研究并不深入。本文通过研究加入比特币的资产配置模型投资效果，以及比特币给投资组合带来的边际变化，全面说明比特币在资产配置中的作用，并以一个常见的基础配置模型为出发点，讨论不同参数取值下，资产配置结果的差异，并从统计学角度总结出收益及风险角度的一般化特征。其次，对比特币的金融特性从宏观因素、自回归趋势、格兰杰因果检验等多个角度进行分析，解析比特币的特性。研究发现，比特币具有高风险高收益特征，且其风险收益比优于其它主流金融主权定价锚资产，加入比特币后，组合的收益增益非常明显。且无论投资者怎么选择起始时间、采取何种方式预测收益及风险，在多长时间范围内进行再平衡，投资组合均有80%以上的概率实现收益提升，且收益提升幅度大于风险提升幅度。从最优投资点推广到一般化的投资有效前沿上，以上结论依然成立，且评估投资有效前沿时，重复随机抽样后，投资组合夏普率提升的概率亦达到71%以上。更进一步，为规避收益预测参数不稳定对投资结果的影响，改进收益预测方式，基于波动率大小压缩预测收益后，预测结果能抵御资产短期扰动带来的影响。最后，笔者从比特币的自相关性、格兰杰因果检验与宏观因素影响角度研究了比特币资产的特性，发现比特币具有极强的价格趋势，且资产配置中，其价格趋势是提升组合夏普率的主要贡献来源。在采用工业增加值（IAV）、M2解释比特币的价格变化时，发现比特币与宏观因子之间的关系并不显著，且比特币与其他资产收益的绝大多数格兰杰因果关系检验结果不显著，这说明比特币价格变化受自身特性的影响更大，但是当剔除比特币的极端收益时，比特币与宏观因素之间的相关关系变得局部显著。本文是典型的实践型论文，具有非常强的实战指导价值，可以为资产配置实践者提供借鉴。
