本文从投资者非理性的视角研究了投资者情绪对企业过度投资行为的影响，并进 一步考察了哪种类型企业的过度投资行为更易受投资者情绪的影响，而哪种类型企业的过度 投资受投资者情绪的影响程度较轻。基于中国沪深两市上市公司1998-2010 年的样本数据， 实证结果显示在中国市场上投资者情绪对公司过度投资有显著为正的影响；拥有越多自由现 金流量的公司，其过度投资行为受投资者情绪的影响程度越高；而融资约束程度越高的公司， 其过度投资行为受投资者情绪的影响程度越低。上述研究发现拓展了对投资者情绪影响公司 投资行为的经济后果的研究，有助于我们更好地从微观视角理解金融市场的非理性如何影响 企业的资源配置效率，乃至影响到整个实体经济的发展。

The existing literature on political capital and bank lending has largely overlooked the role of political environment. Based on the theories of political marketplace, all-pay auction and political instability, we examine the conditional effect of political capital on access to bank loans with political environment surrounding private firms changing, using a nationwide survey of private firms in 2010. In particularly, we characterize the political environment with political capital inequality and political instability. We find that private firms have more difficulty gaining access to bank lending with the increase in the degree of political capital inequality. Furthermore, political capital exerts a positive effect on access to bank loans only when political capital inequality within a province exceeds 0.4775 and political instability does not exceed 0.7.

本文通过控制项目自然状态来模拟私有信息环境，通过控制投融资双方的角色比例来体现谈判力，以此来研究两者对直接融资市场上中小企业融资契约选择偏好的影响。实验结果表明：（1）私有信息对融资方的契约选择有显著影响，当双方谈判力均等且融资方具有项目好（坏）状态的私有信息时，融资方最倾向于选择标准债务（股权）契约。（2）在控制私有信息的前提下，投资方拥有谈判力将会导致选择可转债的融资方比例增大。（3）在融资方具有私有信息且投资方拥有谈判力的前提下，投资方谈判力越大，则融资方私有信息对自身契约选择的影响越小。以上研究为消除我国中小企业直接融资市场的信息不对称所带来的负面影响提供了理论支持。

近些年“流程银行”建设成为我国商业银行建设热点，但很多银行反映“流程银行”建设效果不佳，原因是其“流程银行”建设走入误区，本文通过“流程银行”一词出处介绍、流程银行基本概念介绍，具体说明了一些“流程银行”建设误区的问题，进而说明“流程银行”建设路径计划和流程，以及“流程银行”建设水平提升的方向和改进措施。

This paper uses a dataset of more than 100,000 firms over the period of 2000-07 to assess whether and why Chinese firms overinvest. We find that corporate investment in China has become increasingly efficient over time, suggesting that overinvestment has been declining. However, within all ownership categories, we find evidence indicating a degree of overinvestment by firms that invest more than the industry median. The free cash flow hypothesis provides a good explanation for China’s overinvestment in the collective and private sectors, whereas in the state sector, overinvestment is attributable to the poor screening and monitoring of enterprises by banks.

高管薪酬始终被认为是解决公司治理框架下第一类代理问题的重要机制之一，不过高管薪酬机制的有效性却始终受到怀疑。管理层权力理论认为，管理层能够利用其掌握的权力对高管薪酬决定机制和调整机制施加影响，从而造成其薪酬与公司业绩之间发生偏离的情况。高管团队与管理层权力密切相关，高管团队的变化既可能是管理层权力作用的直接结果，也会对管理层权力运用产生某种程度的影响。本文发现，高管更迭的比例与董事长兼职数量显著负相关，高管团队规模和高更更迭的比例减弱了独立董事比例对高管薪酬水平的影响，高管更迭质量可以增强独立董事比例以及总经理兼职数量与高管薪酬之间的显著性程度。

管理层权力对高管薪酬的影响一直是公司治理领域的研究重点。由于最优契约理论并不能很好地解释高管薪酬过度增长的现象，学者们越来越多采用管理层权力理论来解释银行业管理层权力对高管薪酬的影响。本文针对我国银行业公司治理的特点，从两职合一，董事会构成以及高管任期等三个方面列出了更多管理层权力的指标，选取中国沪深两市上市的16家银行1998年至2008年的数据进行统计分析。结果显示，行长与董事长的两职合一程度与高管薪酬正相关，董事长与党委书记的两职合一会抑制高管薪酬；内部董事比例的提高并不能使提高高管薪酬；董事会中与高管有关联的外部董事比例越高，高管薪酬也越高；董事长的任期与高管薪酬正相关，而行长的任期则相反。基于以上结论的改进措施有助于完善银行业的治理结构，规范银行业高管的薪酬激励机制。

Using a panel of listed Chinese firms over the period 2001-2008, we investigate the interactions among corporate investment, financing, and payout decisions within a simultaneous equations system, where each decision is treated as endogenous and is subject to the constraint that sources much equal uses of cash, as implied by the flow-of-funds framework. We find that capital investment and dividend payout, being the competing uses of limited funds, are negatively interrelated, whilst both of them are positively connected to net amount of new debt issued, suggesting the existence of a joint determination of corporate decisions under financial constraints. In addition, we find that the simultaneity among the corporate decisions becomes more intensified for firms that are more financially constrained, which may reduce managerial flexibility of Chinese firms. Therefore, our result reveals new insight into the complex interdependence of corporate behaviour under financial constraints.

We investigate the power structure of the Chinese political system and explore its implications on corporate finance. With a large sample of firms from 1999-2007, we document large-scale ‘re-nationalization’—local governments re-establish controlling ownership stakes in previously privatized firms. We find that firms located in provinces with newly appointed, top-ranked Party leaders who do not belong to any of the three dominant political factions are more likely to be renationalized. With a number of instrument variables, including the political status of the top-ranked provincial party leaders, we find that re-nationalization leads to lower sales and labor productivity for the firms. We also find some evidence that re-nationalization temporarily lowers the unemployment rate in the region without any significant, long-term economic benefits.

本文收集了2006-2012年首次提出IPO申请并成功上市的996个企业样本，研究引入职业董秘能否加快企业的IPO进度。实证结果发现：（1）职业董秘确实有助于加快企业的IPO进度。（2）聘用职业董秘并给予董秘一定的公司股权，有助于激励其更努力工作，从而加快企业的IPO进度。（3）具有已上市公司工作经验的职业董秘，比具有中介机构工作经验的职业董秘能够帮助企业更快地实现IPO上市。（4）与非职业董秘相比，职业董秘更倾向于在公司上市后快速离职。本研究首次揭示了职业董秘在企业IPO进程中的作用，为更好地引导和规范董秘行为提供理论依据。
