• 详情 创投双方匹配结构与风险投资退出表现
    现有文献主要聚焦于风投机构本身的静态同质化价值增值职能,围绕风投机构的增值职能与风险投资退出表现展开了大量研究。本文提出风险投资与创业企业之间的匹配结构对风险投资退出表现的影响机制问题。基于Fuetal.(2018b的研究模型,我们通过进一步的理论分析发现:创投双方匹配结构会影响双方各自最优努力水平,造成风投机构价值增值职能的动态异质性,表现出影响风投机构的退出表现;同时采用实证模型研究发现:创投双方的匹配契合度越高越有助于改善风投机构退出表现,创投双方的匹配差异度对风险投资提出表现呈现倒U型关系特征,支撑了理论模型的研究结论。本文为探索风险投资退出表现与创业企业发展成长的决定机制提供了一个崭新的研究视角充实和扩展风险投资对企业成长发挥增值职能的研究基础
  • 详情 Can Governments Foster the Development of Venture Capital?
    Exploring a novel dataset and a unique policy experiment, this paper examines the role of government intervention in the emergence of venture capital (VC) in China during 1999-2013. Using difference-in-difference methodology, I find that the central government program leads to an increase in local investment from both government and private VCs, which doubles the number of successful companies. The positive impact is most pronounced in relatively less developed regions and during the early development of the VC sector. I present two micro-level transmission channels of the crowding-in effects, through networks formed by previous investments and through co-ownership in VC affiliates.
  • 详情 Price Discovery in China’s Corporate and Treasury Yield Curves
    We identify both dynamic and long-run relationships between each of the level, slope and curvature factors of the Treasury and corporate bond markets yield curve in China. We aim at determining which market plays a leading role in the discovery of each factor of the yield curve. We obtain three main results. First, we document for the first time the presence of a long-run relationship between the corporate and Treasury bond markets in China both for the level and the slope of their yield curve. Second, such a long-run relationship appears to be stable between the slopes over the full sample 2006-2017, but shows a break for the level factor in 2012. Third, the source market for price discovery varies with the parameters of the yield curve. While the corporate bond market is the source of price discovery for the level factor, this function is fulfilled by the government bond market for the slope parameter. The finding that the Treasury bond market is not fully dominant in level bond-pricing may not come as a surprise. Although China’s corporate bond market has developed rapidly in the past fifteen years, there were few default cases during that period. It is believed investors treat the default risk of corporate bonds as similar to that of Treasury bonds, and benefit from the high corporate spread. Our results for the slope parameter imply that market-oriented reform has progressed enough for the Treasury bond market to already provide a benchmark slope for the yield curve of corporate bonds. When the reform progresses further, we would expect corporate bonds to be priced according to their risk profile which should make the Treasury market lead in price discovery also for the level of the yield curve.
  • 详情 技术并购和自主研发的创新绩效
    公司在创新策略上面临着内部自主研发和外部技术并购的抉择问题。并购方企业的自主研发受到知识瓶颈及技术资源限制,技术并购作为外部技术的获取手段具有技术更迭风险低而成本高的特点。基于中国制造业上市公司并购数据实证研究显示:公司通过技术并购或自主研发均能提升公司的创新绩效。并购方的创新效率有利于并购的绩效提升。与已有研究不同的是,并购方在加大自身创新效率的调节机制下,产生创新的虹吸作用,分别在短期内抵减自主研发、长期内降低技术并购对并购创新绩效的积极作用。在考虑并购双方技术重叠条件下,技术重叠虽然短期内产生技术协同效应,激励并购方自主研发创新绩效;但是技术重叠长期情况下的知识同质性降低创新绩效;在技术重叠调节作用下,创新效率的交互作用抵减自主研发的创新效应。因此企业在通过技术并购谋求创新突破时,更应关注自身的创新效率和双方的技术差异度。
  • 详情 Board Gender Diversity and Dividend Policy in Chinese Listed Firms
    This study investigates the relationship between gender diversity on the board and dividend payouts in China using a large sample over the period 2003–2017. Our results provide robust and strong evidence showing that gender diversity on the board is positively associated with cash payments of dividends. The empirical outcomes confirm that gender diversity on the board facilitates corporate governance and subsequently promotes dividend payouts. We demonstrate that gender diversity on the board has the greatest effect when the board has critical mass participation (three or more female directors) compared with only their token participation. However, independent female directors increase dividend payouts, while female executive directors do not have a significant impact. Furthermore, we extend the literature on the relationship between dividend payments and government ownership by providing evidence that gender diversity has a higher impact on dividend payouts for state-owned enterprises than non-state-owned enterprises. After controlling the endogeneity problems, our findings are reliable and robust.
  • 详情 The Indirect Effects of Trading Restrictions
    Stock market trading restrictions affect stock prices and liquidity directly through constraints on investors’ transactions and indirectly by altering the information environment. We isolate this indirect effect by analyzing how stock market restrictions affect corporate-bond prices. Exploiting the staggered relaxations of trading restrictions in the Chinese stock market as a quasi-natural experiment, we document that the easing of trading restrictions on a firm’s stock decreases the credit spread of its corporate bond. This effect is stronger for firms with less transparency or lower credit ratings. Our evidence suggests that the effect is likely due to improved stock price informativeness.
  • 详情 极端市场条件下指令不平衡与收益之间的关系——来自我国股市 2014-2015年的经验研究
    最近2014-2015年我国股市出现大幅波动,这为研究极端市场条件下指令不平衡与收益之间关系提供了一个理想的研究背景。本文基于上证50成分股的高频数据,研究了极端市场条件下指令不平衡与收益的关系。我们发现:(1)指令不平衡与收益在横截面上正相关,相比于正常市场条件相关性在极端市场条件下更大;(2)指令不平衡与同期收益呈现显著正的相关且熊市期间的相关性要显著强于牛市期间,指令不平衡与同期收益的关系随着市场状态的变化而变化;(3)指令不平衡对收益具有显著的预测能力且在牛市和熊市期间预测能力相差不大;(4)以上结论在控制Fama-French三因子后依然成立。本文研究结果表明在极端市场条件下价格有效性较低,我国股市有效性亟待完善。
  • 详情 The magnet effect of circuit breakers: A role of price jumps and market liquidity
    This paper studies the magnet effect of market-wide circuit breakers and examines its possible forms using high-frequency data from the Chinese stock index futures market. Unlike previous studies that mainly analyzed the price trend and volatility, this paper is the first to consider the intraday price jump behavior in studying the magnet effect. We find that when a market-wide trading halt is imminent, the probability of a price decrease and the level of market volatility remain stable. However, the conditional probability of observing a price jump increases significantly, leading to a higher possibility of triggering market-wide circuit breakers, which is in support of the magnet effect hypothesis. In addition, we find a significant increase in liquidity demand and insignificant change in liquidity supply ahead of a market-wide trading halt, suggesting that the deterioration of market liquidity may play an important role in explaining the magnet effect.
  • 详情 新三板股票流动性、估值水平与分层制度
    本文研究了新三板于2016年首次实施的分层制度对挂牌公司股票流动性、估值水平与资本投资效率的影响。实证结果表明,相比于基础层公司,进入创新层使得挂牌公司股票的实际成交交易日的间隔天数平均减少了7.71个交易日,以市净率所衡量的公司估值水平提升了11.6%。从对公司实体的长远影响来看,以投资现金流敏感度衡量的资本投资效率也得到了显著提升,并且进入创新层有效降低了融资约束引发的投资现金流敏感性。本文的研究结果表明,相比于基础层公司,新三板分层制度的实施不仅使得创新层公司的股票流动性和估值水平得到了提升,还有效地提升了公司实体的资本投资效率。
  • 详情 数字普惠金融是否缩小了城乡居民收入差距?——基于中国省际数据的面板门槛分析
    本文选用 2011-2018 年省级面板数据作为研究样本, 构建线性面板模型及面板门槛模型, 验证数字普惠金融的发展对城乡收入差距的影响及其门槛效应, 并进一步进行中介效应检验。 研究结果显示, 数字普惠金融的发展能有效缩小城乡居民收入差距, 且具有门槛效应, 在经济发展初期, 这一收敛作用效果更为明显。 中介效应分析推断出数字普惠金融能缩小城乡居民收入差距并且促进经济发展, 而经济发展水平的提升却能小幅度地扩大城乡居民收入差距, 但总体来说, 仍以数字普惠金融对城乡居民收入差距的收敛作用为主导效应。
