This paper investigates the impact of the SSM's launch on the market power of banks in the large euro area economies. We employ the Lerner index and the Boone estimator, non-structural measures that capture different aspects of competition. Using the results of the Lerner index, we find evidence of the significant decrease in market power for the ECB supervised entities in Austria, France, Germany and Spain. In a similar vein, the Boone indicator points toward an increase in competition among significant supervised entities of Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. The evidence on changes for the total banking sector are mixed, whereas no significant effect is found for the banks remaining under national supervision. We do not find any support for significant increases in the market power of banks in Italy or Spain, suggesting that large increases in concentration do not necessarily result in anticompetitive conduct.
本文研究了SSM的启动对欧元区大型经济体银行市场支配力的影响。我们采用勒纳指数和布恩估计器,这是捕捉竞争不同方面的非结构性措施。利用勒纳指数的结果,我们发现奥地利、法国、德国和西班牙的欧洲央行监管实体的市场力量显著下降的证据。同样,布恩指标也表明,奥地利、法国、德国、意大利和西班牙的重要监管实体之间的竞争正在加剧。有关整个银行业变化的证据好坏参半,而对仍处于国家监管之下的银行没有发现显著影响。我们没有发现任何证据支持意大利或西班牙银行市场支配力的显著提升,这表明集中度的大幅提升并不一定会导致反竞争行为。

What Can We Learn from Stock Prices? Cash Flow, Risk and Shareholder Welfare 我们能从股价中学到什么?现金流量、风险与股东福利
Pub Date : 2018-11-16 DOI: 10.1628/JITE-2019-0009

Price is expected cash flows discounted at the risk-free rate and a discount for risk exposure. Price-equivalency does not always imply welfare-equivalency: shareholders are not necessarily indifferent between a price increase of $1 from higher cash flows and the same $1 increase from lower risk exposure. Even in complete markets, if managers enjoy private benefits of control, the social planner may prefer lower risk exposure to a price-equivalent increase in firm value from greater investor protection. This has implications for event studies, the tradeoff between principal costs and agency costs, and the link between macroeconomic risk and corporate governance.
价格是按无风险率贴现的预期现金流量和风险敞口的折扣。价格等价性并不总是意味着福利等价性:股东们不一定对现金流增加1美元的价格和风险敞口降低增加1美元的价格无动于衷。即使在完全市场中,如果管理者享有控制的私人利益,社会计划者可能更喜欢低风险暴露,而不是更多投资者保护带来的等价价格的公司价值增长。这对事件研究、主要成本和代理成本之间的权衡以及宏观经济风险和公司治理之间的联系都有影响。

The Governance of Foundation-Owned Firms 基金会所有企业的治理
Pub Date : 2018-11-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1641496
Henry Hansmann, Steen Thomsen
The burgeoning literature on corporate governance, both in economics and in law, has focused heavily on the agency costs of delegated management. It is therefore striking to encounter a large number of well-established and highly successful companies that have long been under the complete control of a self-appointing board of directors whose compensation is divorced from the profitability of the company and who cannot be removed or replaced by anyone except themselves. The companies in question are those controlled by “industrial foundations,” which are nonprofit entities that possess a controlling interest in an otherwise conventional business corporation. Although common throughout Northern Europe, industrial foundations are particularly numerous in Denmark, where they control a quarter of the country’s 100 largest corporations. We work with a data set of 110 foundation-owned Danish firms to explore whether, and how, the governance structure of industrial foundations helps explain the strong performance of the firms they control. Given the absence of substantial material incentives, we concentrate on governance structures. We find a strong and robust relationship between the structure of foundation governance and firm performance. These results reinforce the view that, with the proper governance structure, pure fiduciaries can perform more efficiently than conventional economic models would predict. More specifically, these results underline the potential importance of the legislation that, in 2018, removed the long-standing barrier to forming industrial foundations in the USA.
在经济学和法学领域,关于公司治理的新兴文献主要集中在委托管理的代理成本上。因此,令人吃惊的是,我们遇到了大量声誉良好、非常成功的公司,它们长期处于自我任命的董事会的完全控制之下,这些公司的薪酬与公司的盈利能力脱节,除了他们自己之外,任何人都无法撤换或取代他们。这些公司是由“工业基金会”控制的,它们是在其他传统商业公司中拥有控股权的非营利性实体。尽管工业基金会在北欧很常见,但在丹麦尤其多,它们控制着该国100家最大公司的四分之一。我们使用了110家基金会所有的丹麦公司的数据集,以探索工业基金会的治理结构是否以及如何帮助解释它们控制的公司的强劲业绩。由于缺乏实质性的物质激励,我们将重点放在治理结构上。我们发现基金会治理结构与公司绩效之间存在强有力的关系。这些结果强化了这样一种观点,即在适当的治理结构下,纯受托人的表现可以比传统经济模型所预测的更有效。更具体地说,这些结果强调了2018年立法的潜在重要性,该立法消除了在美国形成工业基础的长期障碍。

Shareholdings of Alternative Investment Funds in Listed Companies and in Banks. A Legal Perspective 另类投资基金在上市公司和银行的持股情况。法律视角
Pub Date : 2018-09-24 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.3253177
S. Alvaro, Filippo Annunziata
The harmonization of the European regulations on collective investment schemes (CIS) – with UCITS regulation first and, most recently, with the AIFM Directive - has expanded the areas of operation of asset managers. In particular, Alternative Investment Funds are emerging as increasingly relevant shareholders in listed companies and banks. In light of such market development, the paper explores the interaction of CIS regulation with corporate governance regulation and prudential supervision rules. First, the paper shows that the application of takeover rules to CIS as shareholders raises significant complexities. These complexities derive from the fact that the Italian law on listed issuers (takeovers, disclosure of significant shareholdings, groups and conflict of interest, slate voting, etc.) implicitly assumes that shareholders are mainly individuals or joint-stock companies rather than funds managed by a third party. Second, the paper discusses the issues posed by the acquisition of qualifying shareholdings in the capital of banks by CIS in the perspective of the compliance with micro-stability rules. The paper argues that the typical objectives of CIS regulations, in terms of transparency, fairness of conducts and the duty to serve at best CIS investors, may trade off with the need to ensure compliance with prudential rules for the invested company. More specifically, though the investment policies of CIS are obviously targeted to the search of the specific risk-return profile declared in the fund prospectus, the need to take into account further interests, such as stability and sound and prudent management of the invested banks, may not necessarily be in the best interest of CIS investors. The papers are presented in their original Italian version, along with a shorter English version, that is intended to target foreign audiences, so that they may better contribute to the international debate.
欧洲集体投资计划(CIS)条例的统一- -首先是与UCITS条例的统一,最近是与AIFM指令的统一- -扩大了资产管理公司的业务领域。特别是,另类投资基金正在成为上市公司和银行越来越重要的股东。针对这种市场发展,本文探讨了CIS监管与公司治理监管和审慎监管规则的互动关系。首先,本文表明,将收购规则应用于作为股东的CIS会带来显著的复杂性。这些复杂性源于这样一个事实,即意大利关于上市发行人的法律(收购、重大股权披露、集团和利益冲突、董事会投票等)隐含地假设股东主要是个人或股份公司,而不是由第三方管理的基金。其次,本文从微观稳定规则合规的角度探讨了中银收购银行资本合格股权所带来的问题。本文认为,CIS法规的典型目标,在透明度、行为公平和服务CIS投资者的责任方面,可能会与确保被投资公司遵守审慎规则的需要相权衡。更具体地说,虽然CIS的投资政策显然是针对寻找基金招股说明书中所宣布的特定风险回报情况,但需要考虑进一步的利益,例如投资银行的稳定和健全审慎的管理,可能并不一定符合CIS投资者的最佳利益。这些论文以意大利语原文和较短的英文版本呈现,目的是针对外国读者,以便他们可以更好地为国际辩论作出贡献。

The Macroeconomic Effects of Bank Capital Requirement Tightenings: Evidence from a Narrative Approach 银行资本要求收紧的宏观经济效应:来自叙事方法的证据
Pub Date : 2018-09-17 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3250499

Bank capital regulations are intended to enhance financial stability in the long run, but may, in the meanwhile, involve costs for the real economy. To examine these costs we propose a narrative index of aggregate tightenings in regulatory US bank capital requirements from 1979 to 2008. Anticipation effects are explicitly taken into account and found to matter. In response to a tightening in capital requirements, banks temporarily reduce business and real estate lending, which temporarily lowers investment, consumption, housing activity and production. A decline in financial and macroeconomic risk helps sustain spending in the medium run. Monetary policy also cushions negative effects of capital requirement tightenings on the economy.
银行资本监管旨在增强长期金融稳定,但与此同时,可能会让实体经济付出代价。为了检验这些成本,我们提出了一个叙事指数,反映1979年至2008年美国监管机构对银行资本要求的总体收紧程度。预期效应被明确地考虑在内,并被发现很重要。为了应对资本要求的收紧,银行暂时减少了商业和房地产贷款,这暂时降低了投资、消费、住房活动和生产。金融和宏观经济风险的下降有助于维持中期支出。货币政策也缓冲了资本要求收紧对经济的负面影响。

Does Tax Drive the Headquarters Locations of the World’s Biggest Companies? 税收是全球大公司总部选址的驱动因素吗?
Pub Date : 2018-08-14 DOI: 10.18356/CEE26E02-EN
K. Clausing
In recent years, policy-makers have given paramount attention to “competitiveness”, working to ensure that domestic economies attract investment, jobs, and tax revenues. Toward this end, countries have steadily lowered corporate tax rates in an attempt to attract mobile international businesses. This paper discusses the desirability of this policy stance in light of data on the world’s biggest companies. Using Forbes lists of the top “Global 2000” companies over the period 2003–2017, the paper analyzes companies’ headquarters locations, focusing on economic, geographic, and policy determinants. The paper then relates these findings to larger policy questions.
近年来,政策制定者对“竞争力”给予了高度重视,努力确保国内经济吸引投资、就业和税收。为此,各国不断降低企业税率,试图吸引流动的国际企业。本文根据世界上最大的公司的数据讨论了这一政策立场的可取性。本文利用《福布斯》2003-2017年“全球2000强”公司名单,分析了公司总部的位置,重点关注经济、地理和政策决定因素。然后,论文将这些发现与更大的政策问题联系起来。

Bitcoin as Asset Class 比特币作为资产类别
Pub Date : 2018-07-22 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3218007
L. Trautman, Taft Dorman
A five cent $0.05 investment in Bitcoin on July 17, 2010, the first date in which there appears to have been a published value had grown to $7,383.39 on July 18, 2018. While Bitcoin as a currency has existed for less than a decade it had a very limited liquidity and usage during the first few years. During calendar year 2017 alone, Bitcoin increased in value from about $970 to $14,292, an increase of approximately 1,735 percent. Highly volatile, and having reached a market capitalization of almost $300 billion by December 13, 2017, Bitcoin had become equivalent to the world’s sixth largest currency and has, despite its volatility, attracted considerable attention as an investment asset. Our research examines the history of Bitcoin from inception until mid-year 2018 and compares and contrasts price performance and correlation with other asset classes: Dow Jones 30 Industrial Average; SP NASDAQ; Russell 2000; gold; real estate; Nikki; MSCI; and bond market. We believe our study covers performance of this important alternative class over the greatest period of time to date. We conclude that Bitcoin may be an attractive investment from a diversification perspective because of its low correlation with equities markets. However, Bitcoin’s characteristics of high volatility and potential illiquidity make it difficult to compare with more traditional assets such as equities and bonds.
在2010年7月17日,也就是第一次公布比特币价值的日期,一笔5美分0.05美元的比特币投资在2018年7月18日增长到了7383.39美元。虽然比特币作为一种货币存在不到十年,但在最初的几年里,它的流动性和使用都非常有限。仅在2017日历年,比特币的价值就从约970美元增加到14,292美元,增长了约1,735%。比特币的波动性很大,截至2017年12月13日,比特币的市值已达到近3000亿美元,相当于全球第六大货币。尽管比特币波动很大,但作为一种投资资产,它还是引起了相当大的关注。我们的研究考察了比特币从诞生到2018年中期的历史,并比较和对比了价格表现及其与其他资产类别的相关性:道琼斯30工业平均指数;SP纳斯达克(NASDAQ);罗素2000;金;房地产;尼基;摩根士丹利资本国际(MSCI);还有债券市场。我们相信,我们的研究涵盖了迄今为止这一重要的另类班级在最大时期内的表现。我们的结论是,从多元化的角度来看,比特币可能是一种有吸引力的投资,因为它与股票市场的相关性较低。然而,比特币的高波动性和潜在的非流动性特征使其难以与股票和债券等更传统的资产进行比较。

Bank Bailouts, Bail-Ins, or No Regulatory Intervention? A Dynamic Model and Empirical Tests of Optimal Regulation 银行救助,内部纾困,还是不进行监管干预?最优调控的动态模型及实证检验

We model dynamic bank capital structure under three optimally-designed regulatory regimes dealing with potential default { bailout, where government provides capital; bail-in, using private-sector funds; and no regulatory intervention, allowing failure. Only under optimally designed bail-in do banks recapitalize during distress. Their pre-commitment to recapitalize reduces debt costs and increases debt capacity. No regulatory intervention is suboptimal for all agents. Optimal bailouts and bail-ins generate no asset substitution-moral hazard behavior because regulators intervene at early stages of distress with sufficient capital remaining. Empirical tests of changes in capital behavior from the pre-crisis bailout period to the post-crisis bail-in period corroborate model predictions.
我们在三种最优设计的监管制度下对动态银行资本结构进行建模,以应对潜在的违约救助,其中政府提供资本;利用私营部门资金进行内部纾困;没有监管干预,允许失败。只有在设计最佳的内部纾困下,银行才能在困境中进行资本重组。它们对资本重组的预先承诺降低了债务成本,提高了债务能力。没有监管干预对所有代理人都是次优的。最优的纾困和内部纾困不会产生资产替代道德风险行为,因为监管机构在危机的早期阶段就会在剩余资本充足的情况下进行干预。从危机前的救助期到危机后的救助期,资本行为变化的实证检验证实了模型的预测。

Central Clearing of Financial Contracts: Theory and Regulatory Implications 金融合约中央结算:理论与监管意义
Pub Date : 2018-05-03 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.3104079
S. Schwarcz
To protect economic stability, post-crisis regulation requires financial institutions to clear and settle most of their derivatives contracts through central counterparties, such as clearinghouses associated with derivatives and commodity exchanges. This Article asks whether regulators should expand the central clearing requirement to non-derivative financial contracts, such as loan agreements. The Article begins by theorizing how and why central clearing can reduce systemic risk. It then examines the theory’s regulatory and economic efficiency implications, first for current requirements to centrally clear derivatives contracts and thereafter for deciding whether to extend those requirements to non-derivative contracts. The inquiry has real practical importance because the aggregate monetary exposure on non-derivative financial contracts — and thus the potential systemic risk that could be triggered by that exposure — greatly exceeds that on derivatives contracts. The inquiry also raises fundamental legal questions as to why (and the extent to which) regulators should tell financial institutions how to control risk, and whether to require the mutualization of risk.
为了保护经济稳定,危机后的监管要求金融机构通过中央对手方(如与衍生品和大宗商品交易所相关的清算所)清算和结算大部分衍生品合约。本文询问监管机构是否应将中央清算要求扩大到非衍生金融合约,如贷款协议。本文首先从理论上阐述中央清算如何以及为什么可以降低系统风险。然后,它检查了理论的监管和经济效率的影响,首先是集中清算衍生品合约的现行要求,然后决定是否将这些要求扩展到非衍生品合约。这项调查具有真正的实际重要性,因为非衍生品金融合约的货币敞口总额——以及由此可能引发的潜在系统性风险——大大超过衍生品合约。调查还提出了一些基本的法律问题,如监管机构为什么(以及在多大程度上)应该告诉金融机构如何控制风险,以及是否要求风险共同化。

We exploit unexpected corporate data breaches to study how firms respond to negative reputation events. Data breaches negatively affect firm profitability, value, and reputation for years following the event, but are not triggered by high or low reputations. In response, firms increase their investment in corporate social responsibility (CSR) by 0.4-0.5 standard deviations. Firms respond similarly after other negative shocks to their reputation. Our paper represents the first empirical study to link CSR investment to firm reputation building and is the first to document how firms respond to the destruction of corporate reputations.
我们利用意外的企业数据泄露来研究企业如何应对负面声誉事件。数据泄露会对公司的盈利能力、价值和声誉产生负面影响,但这与声誉的高低无关。作为回应,企业在企业社会责任(CSR)方面的投资增加了0.4-0.5个标准差。公司在声誉受到其他负面冲击后也会做出类似的反应。我们的论文是第一个将企业社会责任投资与企业声誉建立联系起来的实证研究,也是第一个记录企业如何应对企业声誉破坏的实证研究。
