  • 详情 Regional Climate Risk and Corporate Social Responsibility: Evidence from China
    Although firms suffer from regional climate risk in their production and operation, they are still highly expected by the public to play a leading role in addressing regional climate risk. In this paper, we study how regional climate risk affects corporate social responsibility (CSR). By constructing regional climate risk indicators and employing the OLS method to conduct empirical analyses, we find that regional climate risk can significantly promote CSR. Furthermore, regional climate risk can suppress firm’s cash flow, thereby exerting internal pressure on firms to assume CSR. Meanwhile, regional climate risk can raise higher public expectations for firms, imposing external pressure on them to assume CSR. We suggest that external pressure from the public plays a dominant role in CSR decision-making. Besides, we confirm that CSR can achieve a win-win goal for both firms and the public by mitigating the damage of regional climate risk on the firm’s long-term performance. We provide a new perspective for studying firm’s motivation to assume CSR under the influence of regional climate risk.
  • 详情 泰勒规则在中国的实证检验及拓展
    内容提要:本文在介绍泰勒规则产生、内涵、发展的基础上,利用Lawrence模型将汇率因素引入,构建了开放经济条件下的前瞻性泰勒规则。实证结果表明:泰勒规则能够为中国货币政策提供一个很好的参照系;相对于物价稳定目标,央行更关注经济增长;将微观主体的预期和汇率因素引入到货币政策时,央行对利率的敏感性增强;继续推动利率和汇率体制改革能更有效地提高泰勒规则的解释力;“前瞻性泰勒规则”能提高中国货币政策透明度; Abstract: This paper introduce the origination、connotation and development of Taylor’s rule. On this basis, we then contrast the forward looking Taylor’s rule in an open economy by employing a model from Lawrence (1999).The empirical analysis indicates that: Taylor’s rule provides us a frame of reference in policy making; Central bank prefer “economic growth” to “price stability”; when considering the effect of public expectation and exchange rate, central bank pay more attention to price stability; exchange rate and interest rate regime reformation would increase the explanation of Taylor’s rule; the forward looking Taylor’s rule could enhance the transparency of monetary policy.
