放大上海自贸试验区金融创新的“苗圃效应”

金融开放是上海自贸试验区的重要内容,市场各方关注度高、金融企业集聚度高、制度创新含金量高.随着金融国际化和管制放松化进程深入推进,“苗圃效应”逐渐扩大,其作用和地位已经超越服务实体经济的初衷.上海应利用好自贸试验区这些机遇,努力开创国际金融中心建设新局面.     

全球金融治理:挑战、目标和改革——关于2016年G20峰会议题研究

当前,全球金融治理面临着诸多挑战:全球金融治理结构不能反映世界经济格局的变化;对跨境资本流动缺乏有效应对措施;对金融危机的爆发缺乏有效的防范机制和应对手段.为此,有必要针对上述问题进行深层次的改革,以提高全球金融治理的有效性.一是增加新兴市场国家在全球金融治理中的代表权;二是建立应对资本跨境流动的有效机制;三是增加预防和应对金融危机的能力.     

上海提升国际金融中心国际化水平的思路和突破口

上海国际金融中心拥有“金融+科创产业”的双重优势特征,金融全要素集聚能力不断增强,具备建设高水平国际金融中心的基础。在新发展格局下,上海加快提升国际金融中心国际化水平的突破口,应以中国式现代化发展理念为指引,推动国际金融中心建设与人民币国际化战略协同发展,充分发挥浦东和临港新片区改革试验田的创新突破作用,强化在沪跨国金融机构总部的金融集聚作用,提高上海与全球其他金融中心的网络连通性。     

上海推进区域金融改革的思考

上海在全国区域金融改革中有其特殊的地位,要做到"合而不同,有抓有放":一方面,上海应抓住金融开放和体制创新两个重点,加快国际金融中心建设,为全国其他地区金融改革积累经验;尤其是在体制创新上,要为全国走出一条新路。如上海可以在"负面清单"、"非禁即可"、"自律管理"等金融管理新理念上,加大探索力度争取试点。另一方面,上海应跟踪研究、学习、参考其他地方金融改革试点的成功经验,并适时在上海推广、应用。     

中东阿拉伯国家金融自由化探析

金融全球化是经济全球化的核心,而金融自由化则是金融全球化的重要组成部分。20世纪七十年代以来全球开始了以放松金融管制为主要内容的金融自由化进程。中东阿拉伯国家的金融自由化是其宏观经济改革战略的一部分,它力图通过自由化、现代化、提高透明度以及加强风险监管来提高金融中介效率。中东金融改革是一种渐进式的改革,包括货币政策改革、银行体系自由化和开放资本市场。中东金融体系已经成为世界金融体系的一部分,但在金融效率、深度和竞争力方面与发达国家和新兴国家相比还有很大的差距。     

全球主要国际金融中心发展中政府作用及对上海的启示

对国际金融中心的争夺在世界范围内愈演愈烈。政府与金融中心的关系就如同政府与经济的关系,自由放任和国家干预。随着政府能量日益增强,政府对金融中心的推动作用越来越明显和突出,通过研究一些主要金融中心发展过程中的政府作用,以期对上海国际金融中心建设有所启示。     

上海建设国际金融中心的现实与展望——基于静态指标与动态指标的综合分析

从静态上看,国际金融中心至少要具备经济规模与质量如何、金融存量与流量大小、政府的制度安排、管理和服务水平的高低、本币的信用5个基本条件。上海要成为国际金融中心,首先要和公认的国际金融中心相比较。因此,我们首先用"主因素分析法,"(Principal Component Analysis)比较了上海与香港的差距,看目前上海离低层次的国际金融中心的距离有多远。从动态上看,中国的经济发展以及上海所具备的条件,表明上海已经具备了国际金融中心的潜质,上海建设国际金融中心目标不可动摇。     

直面理想 撬动发展——对天津重点规划编制工作的思考

正一、站在历史的拐点(一)发展的轨迹历史上,天津是我国北方重要的工商业城市,建国后由于计划经济体制和"大三线"建设,产业发展以工业为主,商业金融功能弱化。1976年天津遭受唐山大地震的严重破坏,城市功能受到了严重影响,经济中心的地位逐渐丧失。改革开放以来,天津的经济开始复苏,但是当时国家沿海城市战略重心在深圳和浦东,而且在北京作为国家行政中心、文化中心和经济中心的光芒下,国家赋予天津的城市定位是"拥有先进技术的综合性工业基地,开放型多功能的经济中心和现     

金融特区：上海国际金融中心建设制度创新

上海要建设国际金融中心,必须破解制度—技术约束。上海国际金融中心建设可以借鉴中国经济特区建设经验,实施＂金融特区＂制度创新。这一制度创新对上海国际金融中心建设具有决定性意义,并对全国金融体制改革具有引领作用。上海金融特区可实施资本—金融项目管制改革、浮动汇率制度改革、人民币国际化改革等试验,目标是人民币全面国际化,并成为除美元、欧元之外的第三种主要国际货币。不仅在国际贸易中广泛使用人民币计价和结算,还要使人民币成为国际储备货币。同时,相应提出建设金融特区的技术可行性和路径选择。     

“全球金融治理变化与中国金融改革”国际研讨会综述

全球金融治理的缺陷是本轮全球金融危机爆发和扩散的原因之一,虽然在危机之后,全球金融治理得到一定的改善,但最近全球股市大幅震动,受到关联储加息的影响,大量资金从发展中国家流出造成这些国家的货币贬值.这说明,全球金融治理仍需要进一步改革.中国经济正在转型之中,一方面经济下滑压力很大,需要稳定经济增长;另一方面要进行改革,而金融改革是经济改革的一个重要内容.     

Exploring the Nexus of Nonprofit Financial Stability and Financial Growth

Taking a unified approach to studying nonprofit financial health, this research tackles a key question that has remained unexplored in the literature: “What lies at the intersection of the two key dimensions of financial health–financial stability and financial growth?” Specifically, we identify and compare nonprofits that exhibit high levels of financial stability and growth (high financially performing) to those that exhibit low levels (low financially performing)? Overall, we find that high financial performers (HFPs) tend to be older and larger organizations (in terms of unrestricted net assets and total revenue). HFPs are also more likely to report capital assets, and report high levels of compensation. Finally, HFPs tend to contain their overhead spending by exercising efficiency by investing in talented officers (paying more than the rest), but limiting the share of officer compensation, administrative, and fundraising expenses, as a percentage of total expenses. The results of the study should be informative to stakeholders attempting to understand the profile of an organization that is successfully able to achieve both capacity growth and financial stability.     

国际金融危机下的金融创新与金融监管

金融创新会对金融业和整个国民经济的发展起到极大的促进作用,但是金融创新是一把双刃剑,处理不好就会对金融业甚至国民经济造成极大的危害,因此就需要金融监管。本文主要阐述金融创新和金融监管的关系,它们是对立统一的关系,我国现有的金融监管的不完善之处,以及在金融危机的背景下,对金融监管提出的新挑战,并提出完善我国金融监管的对策。     

International Transmission Effect of Volatility between the Financial Markets during the Asian Financial Crisis

In this paper I propose an analysis of interaction among global economies by focusing on the regional financial markets of Asian countries during and after the Asian financial crisis in 1997, in order to study the dynamic relationship between stock returns and exchange rate changes. In addition, the impact of the Asian financial crisis is also examined. For the methodology, the bivariate EGARCH (exponential generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity) and EGARCH-X models are used to examine the interrelationship of stock markets and foreign exchange markets. The empirical results show that a two-way feedback relationship exists between the volatility of stock returns and exchange rate changes during the recovery period of the Asian countries. This result is important because the effect of volatility transmission between global financial markets can still be observed today. Furthermore, when comparing the volatility transmission during the crisis period with that during the recovery period, it shows that the spillover effect has increased during the recovery period, indicating that the strength of the transmission mechanism has increased after the Asian financial crisis. This result also suggests that the interactions of the stock and foreign exchange markets of Asian countries were affected by the Asian financial crisis, and the impact is greater for Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, and especially Thailand, which were more vulnerable during the financial crisis.     

The Association of Alternative Financial Services Usage and Financial Access: Evidence from the National Financial Capability Study

This study examined the association of financial access and alternative financial services (AFS) using a nationally representative sample from the 2012 National Financial Capability Study (N = 25,509). Structural equation modeling was used to examine the relationship between financial access and AFS usage. Ordinary least squares regression was used to estimate the relationship between banked status and the overall AFS usage as a latent variable while controlling for sociodemographic variables, financial education, financial knowledge, and home ownership. Results suggested that being unbanked was positively associated with AFS usage after controlling for other covariates. Financial education and knowledge, age, gender, marital status, education, household income, and homeownership were significantly associated with AFS usage. These findings have implications for public policy and programs that work with the unbanked.

Building Financial Knowledge Is Not Enough: Financial Self-Efficacy as a Mediator in the Financial Capability of Low-Income Families

ABSTRACT

Policymakers in many countries have taken an interest in population-level financial capability. Limited empirical work has examined how constructs that makeup financial capability relate and how they function for individuals with low incomes. Using a national sample of low-income Canadians, we investigate relationships between financial knowledge, financial self-efficacy, and savings outcomes. Overall, we find that financial self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between objective financial knowledge and postsecondary-education saving. The association between objective financial knowledge and retirement saving and emergency saving passed through financial self-efficacy. Efforts to promote financial capability need to focus on more than objective financial knowledge.     

Disentangling the Financial Vulnerability of Nonprofits

This research analyzes the concept of financial vulnerability of nonprofits in depth. We review the definitions given by the prior literature, concluding that none of them is complete. We propose a definition in which financial vulnerability consists of three dimensions: operational (variation of net assets over time), leverage (relationship between total assets and debt), and liquidity (ratio of current assets to short-term debt). We use a sample of 212 Non-Governmental Development Organizations (NGDOs) from the United Kingdom to analyze these measures, observing a limited number of nonprofits simultaneously classified as vulnerable according to the different traditional concepts. Applying our proposed multidimensional model, we find that 6 % of the sample is highly financially vulnerable according to the three dimensions, and a high proportion (18 %) of nonprofits is simultaneously vulnerable in leverage and liquidity dimensions. Finally, we compare the obtained results using traditional variables and those derived from our model.     

Revisiting the Prediction of Financial Vulnerability

Whether or not a nonprofit organization is vulnerable to financial problems is a concern of all stakeholders of the organization. Recently, Greenlee and Trussel (2000) and Trussel and Greenlee (2001) expanded Tuckman and Chang's work (1991) to predict which organizations are financially vulnerable. This article extends the work of these authors by developing a model of financial vulnerability that includes four financial indicators, controls for the sector to which an organization belongs, and is based on a sample of over ninety‐four thousand organizations. The model is useful as a screening, monitoring, and attention‐getting device.
