Description城投债是地方政府投融资平台作为发行主体发行的债券，所融资金多被投入地方政府基础设施建设或者公益性项目，拥有地方政府信用的隐性担保。城投债在一定程度上缓解了地方政府在城市发展过程中资金的短缺问题，在我国城市化进程，促进当地经济发展，引导产业转型升级等方面做出了重大贡献。 随着城投债不断发展，代表城投债信用风险的主要考量点-城投债信用利差愈发备受关注。因为无论是城投债的承销机构，还是城投债的投资机构，包括涉及到城投债风险管控的政策制定部门，都会关注到城投债信用利差，那么影响城投债信用利差的影响因素有哪些呢，这些影响因素有哪些是对城投债信用利差有显著影响呢。 本文首先对城投债相关理论概念，包括政府投融资平台、城投债概念以及相关文献综述做了介绍；并指出了之前研究的一些不足之处等问题。同时对城投债的发展概况做了简要描述并进行了相关统计；其次针对影响城投债信用风险的相关因素进行了详细的分析，主要包括宏观经济因素分析、地方政府影响因素分析、发债主体影响因素分析和债项自身影响因素分析；通过分析每一种影响因素的具体情况，假设相关因素与信用利差的关系。然后再提取二手数据通过实证验证回归分析的方法分别验证假设是否成立，找出影响城投债信用风险的主要共同影响因素，同时得出影响最为强烈的几种因素。最后根据上述分析得出的相关结论， 提出防范与降低城投债信用风险的对策和建议。 该研究一方面引导市场正视城投债信用利差的各种因素，明确我们平时认为的影响因素和理论研究得出的影响因素是否一致；继而找到影响城投债信用利差的关键因素，供城 投债承销机构及投资机构做参考，同时提示城投债风险防范应重点关注的核心问题，为防范和降低城投债风险提供重要参考。

Description
This thesis starts with an analysis of the current situation of the pharmaceutical industry in China, and discusses the strategic mergers and acquisitions (M&A) by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the pharmaceutical industry in China. It elaborates on the rationale for the development of the mergers and acquisitions of the pharmaceutical SMEs. Then a literature review is provided on the causes of corporate mergers and acquisitions such as the economies of scale, synergistic effect, transaction costs, market power, and strategic diversification.Next,the thesis analyzes the underlying rationale for the M&A transactions in the pharmaceutical industry in China, and explores the likely path of successful value creation for pharmaceutical SMEs in China. Specifically, with five in-depth case studies of M&A transactions of pharmaceutical firms, this thesis reveals the critical success factors leading to value creation and growth in the practice of mergers and acquisitions of the pharmaceutical SMEs in China.

Description
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. 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中国改革开放以来经济高速发展，一部分人群快速积累了大量财富，迫切需要专业机构对其财富进行有效管理，激发了中国私人银行市场的蓬勃发展。本文利用M银行全部私人银行网点的客户资产配置数据，以省级行政单位为划分，从核心公共资源供给角度出发，探究地区公共资源财政支出对私人银行客户数量增长和资产配置的影响。本文通过实证研究发现：（1）在人均公共安全财政支出较高、人均公共教育财政支出较低的地区，即公共安全资源相对匮乏、公共教育资源相对丰富的地区，私人银行客户规模增速较快；（2）在人均公共安全财政支出较高，即公共安全资源相对匮乏的地区，高净值人群会积极配置流动性良好的银行存款类产品和保险类产品，同时会减少配置高风险、高收益的理财类产品和基金类产品；（3）在人均公共医疗卫生财政支出较高，即公共医疗资源相对匮乏的地区，高净值人群会积极配置银行存款类产品，同时减少保险类产品和理财类产品的配置比例；（4）在人均公共教育财政支出较高，即公共教育资源相对匮乏的地区，高净值人群会积极配置银行保险类产品和理财类产品，同时减少存款类产品的配置比例。

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.
