提高公司治理效率的财务视角——合理安排资本结构．

公司治理结构是对公司控制权的合理配置,针对我国上市公司治理结构不完善,治理效率低下的问题,目前一些研究多集中于股东大会、董事会、监事会之间的权力安排,而忽视了其中一个重要的原因--资本结构的不合理.从资本结构的角度看,公司的治理结构具体表现为股权与债权的结构、股权内部结构、债权内部结构等方面,通过对这些结构的调整可以起到重新配置控制权进而提高治理效率的作用.     

Interdisciplinary bar for the public interest: What CSR and NGO frameworks contribute to the public relations of British and European activists

This paper outlines the ways in which various literatures and exemplary organizations (Business for Social Responsibility, the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management, and the Global Compact) define, set principles, and provide frameworks for corporate social responsibility (CSR). It also explores British broadcasters’ accountability mechanisms and the extent to which U.K. broadcasting activist NGOs view them as adequate CSR. The activists studied were six British broadcasting-centered and Scottish cultural NGOs that lobby in the EU and at home. The data suggested that these activists’ public relations has pro-social, pro-democratic effects and that the CSR/NGO literatures and organizational frameworks provided may enable broadcasting activists and targets to more effectively pursue CSR.     

浅析企业年金计划的偿付责任与企业负债率的关系

开办企业年金计划企业的会计报表屁示，这些企业的财务杠杆率相对企业的举债能力而言普遍偏低，但是，如果企业把年金计划的偿付责任作为企业长期负债合并到企业资产负债表中，则这类企业的低财务杠杆率相对于最优财务杠杆率的差距将减小。本文从企业年金缴费对应征税收入影响和会计处理的角度，分析企业年金计划对企业边际税率和企业资本结构调整的作用。     

公司设立瑕疵刍议

公司设立瑕疵是指公司设立过程中存在的不符合法定条件和程序之处。在公司存在设立瑕疵的情况下,英美法系的事实公司以及禁反言公司是对公司人格的有条件承认,大陆法系的公司设立无效制度则是通过诉讼方式否认公司人格。我国应该在公司法中确立公司设立无效制度,同时在特殊情况下有条件地承认公司人格。     

The role of human and social board capital in driving CSR reporting

The objective of this paper is to analyze the effect of the professional, technical and relational background (human and social capital) of outside directors on promoting firm CSR disclosure. Following the Hillman et al. (2000) taxonomy of board members, we classify outside directors as business experts, support specialists and community influential, and examine whether business and technical expertise or political ties in the boardroom affect CSR disclosure.This study confirms that not all outside directors are equally effective in improving CSR disclosure and that only certain kinds of outside directors, those classified as support specialists, help promote it. On the other hand, our findings also show that directors with previous experience as politicians affect CSR disclosure negatively, probably due to their interests in safeguarding their reputation within the company, in avoiding public scrutiny and in protecting their political connections. In addition, our set of analysis with interaction effects reveals that powerful CEOs have the incentive to promote CSR-related strategies and to convince business experts and support specialist directors to enhance profitable sustainability strategies and transparency in CSR disclosure. Nevertheless, the powerful CEO effect is not enough to compensate the negative role of political directors on CSR reporting. Therefore, this paper supports the theories in favor of analyzing the multiple configurations of corporate governance mechanisms by adopting a holistic approach, and the need to combine these configurations in order to analyze their impact on CSR behavior.     

From primacy to purpose commitment: How emerging profit-with-purpose corporations open new corporate governance avenues

This paper aims at contributing to corporate governance theory by developing a model of governance that takes into account a recent legal innovation: the introduction of purpose-driven legal business forms in the corporate law of several countries. Current debates in such theory oppose models that grant “primacy” (i.e., ultimate control rights) to different constituencies. The resulting uncertainty proves problematic in the face of new, urgent social and environmental stakes that are difficult to represent in traditional governance bodies. Newly adopted profit-with-purpose corporate forms' introduction of a “purpose” in corporate contracts renews these debates. We show that through the “purpose commitment” model it enables, the distribution of control rights in the governance system is decoupled from the objectives assigned to the corporation. This new approach renews the formal role of management, and corporations’ accountability to society. We explore the theoretical, practical, and political consequences of this new model.
