This paper estimates hedge fund and mutual fund exposure to newly proposed measures of macroeconomic risk that are interpreted as measures of economic uncertainty. We find that the resulting uncertainty betas explain a significant proportion of the cross-sectional dispersion in hedge fund returns. However, the same is not true for mutual funds, for which there is no significant relationship. After controlling for a large set of fund characteristics and risk factors, the positive relation between uncertainty betas and future hedge fund returns remains economically and statistically significant. Hence, we argue that macroeconomic risk is a powerful determinant of cross-sectional differences in hedge fund returns.
本文估计了对冲基金和共同基金对新提出的宏观经济风险指标的敞口,这些指标被解释为经济不确定性的指标。我们发现,由此产生的不确定性贝塔解释了对冲基金收益横截面分散的很大一部分。然而,对于共同基金来说,情况并非如此,它们之间没有显著的关系。在控制了大量的基金特征和风险因素之后,不确定性贝塔系数与对冲基金未来收益之间的正相关关系在经济上和统计上仍然显著。因此,我们认为宏观经济风险是对冲基金收益横截面差异的重要决定因素。

Liquidity Shocks and Stock Market Reactions 流动性冲击和股市反应
Pub Date : 2013-08-23 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2055472

We find that the stock market underreacts to stock-level liquidity shocks: liquidity shocks are not only positively associated with contemporaneous returns, but they also predict future return continuations for up to six months. Long-short portfolios sorted on liquidity shocks generate significant returns of 0.70% to 1.20% per month that are robust across alternative shock measures and after controlling for risk factors and stock characteristics. Furthermore, we show that investor inattention and illiquidity contribute to the underreaction: while both are significant in explaining short-term return predictability of liquidity shocks, the inattention-based mechanism is more powerful for the longer-term return predictability.
我们发现,股票市场对股票水平的流动性冲击反应不足:流动性冲击不仅与同期收益呈正相关,而且还预测了未来6个月的持续收益。根据流动性冲击排序的多空组合每月产生0.70%至1.20%的显著回报,在控制风险因素和股票特征之后,这种回报在其他冲击措施中都很强劲。此外,我们发现投资者的注意力不集中和流动性不足导致了反应不足:虽然两者在解释流动性冲击的短期回报可预测性方面都很重要,但基于注意力不集中的机制对长期回报可预测性更为强大。

Diabetes Research and the Public Good: Federal Support for Research on Type 1 Diabetes 糖尿病研究与公益:联邦政府对1型糖尿病研究的支持

Diabetes is one of the most common, rapidly-growing life-threatening medical conditions in the United States today: Nearly 26 million Americans had diabetes in 2011, up from 24 million in 2007; and epidemiologists estimate that by 2020, nearly 12 percent of Americans or 39.2 million people will have diabetes. Diabetes is the underlying cause of death of over 70,000 Americans a year and a contributor to an additional 160,000 deaths. Diabetes also exacts a large toll on the U.S. economy. This study analyzes these economic effects and assesses whether continuing the Special Diabetes Program, which funds research into treating and curing Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) through the National Institutes of Health, could contribute to meaningfully ameliorating the adverse economic effects associated with diabetes. We found that treating people with diabetes cost Americans $128 billion in 2007 or about 0.9 percent of GDP; and we estimate that by 2020, these medical costs will reach $410 billion or an estimated 1.8 percent of a projected GDP of $23.4 trillion in 2020. We further estimate that the productivity losses associated with missed work, permanent disabilities and premature deaths from diabetes and its complications totaled $65 billion in 2007 or 0.5 percent of U.S. GDP in that year. We further estimate that by 2020, these non-medical, economic costs will reach $196 billion or more than 0.8 percent of projected GDP in that year. The NIH currently provides $150 million per-year to support research into T1D, as well as additional funds through other grant programs, and we cannot know if this research will ultimately produce better treatments for the disease. However, after 15 years of NIH support for T1D research, the likelihood of additional breakthroughs should increase if the program is maintained. We further project that if such those advances reduce the incidence and severity of T1D by 10 percent by 2020, the savings in medical costs would exceed $2.6 billion per-year, including $1.9 billion in savings for Medicare and Medicaid, plus another $2.2 billion in annual non-medical economic savings, for a total savings of $4.8 billion a year. In this scenario, the advances would produce an annual rate of return of 163 percent year after year. We also estimate that if spillovers from these advances reduce the incidence and severity of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) by 5 percent in 2020, that would save nearly $17.4 billion per-year in medical costs, including more than $12.3 billion per-year in Medicare and Medicaid costs, plus nearly $7.5 billion per-year in non-medical economic costs. Based on this analysis, we conclude that federal support for research in T1D should continue.
糖尿病是当今美国最常见、增长最快的危及生命的疾病之一:2011年,近2600万美国人患有糖尿病,高于2007年的2400万;流行病学家估计,到2020年,将近12%的美国人或3920万人将患有糖尿病。糖尿病是每年超过7万美国人死亡的潜在原因,另外还有16万人死亡。糖尿病也给美国经济造成了巨大损失。本研究分析了这些经济影响,并评估了是否继续特殊糖尿病计划,该计划通过国家卫生研究院资助治疗和治愈1型糖尿病(T1D)的研究,可能有助于有意义地改善与糖尿病相关的不利经济影响。我们发现,2007年治疗糖尿病患者花费了美国人1280亿美元,约占GDP的0.9%;我们估计,到2020年,这些医疗费用将达到4100亿美元,占2020年预计GDP 23.4万亿美元的1.8%。我们进一步估计,2007年,因糖尿病及其并发症导致的误工、永久性残疾和过早死亡所造成的生产力损失总计达650亿美元,占当年美国GDP的0.5%。我们进一步估计,到2020年,这些非医疗经济成本将达到1960亿美元,占当年预计GDP的0.8%以上。美国国立卫生研究院目前每年提供1.5亿美元用于支持T1D的研究,以及通过其他拨款项目提供的额外资金,我们不知道这项研究最终是否会产生更好的治疗方法。然而,在美国国立卫生研究院支持T1D研究15年后,如果该项目继续下去,取得额外突破的可能性应该会增加。我们进一步预测,如果到2020年,这些进步将T1D的发病率和严重程度降低10%,每年节省的医疗费用将超过26亿美元,其中包括医疗保险和医疗补助节省的19亿美元,再加上每年22亿美元的非医疗经济节省,每年总计节省48亿美元。在这种情况下,这些预付款将产生163%的年回报率,年复一年。我们还估计,如果这些进步的溢出效应在2020年将2型糖尿病(T2D)的发病率和严重程度降低5%,那么每年将节省近174亿美元的医疗费用,其中包括每年超过123亿美元的医疗保险和医疗补助费用,以及每年近75亿美元的非医疗经济成本。基于这一分析,我们得出结论,联邦政府应该继续支持T1D的研究。

Strategic Posture and Registration Rights in Private Placements 私募中的战略姿态与注册权
Pub Date : 2011-01-15 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1762285
Vicki Wei Tang
This study examines how proprietary costs of mandatory disclosure influence the decision to exclude registration rights in private placements. Registration rights oblige the issuer to register with SEC in a three-to-seven-month period subsequent to private placements, therefore pre-committing the issuer to mandatory disclosure. I find that, at the industry level, industries dominated by players with “product differentiation strategy” have a larger proportion of private placements without registration rights than product markets dominated by players with “low cost strategy”. The finding is consistent with the theoretical prediction from Darrough (1993) that product differentiation discourages firms from the pre-commitment to disclosure of firm-specific information. Within the same industry, a larger proportion of private placements exclude registration rights when mandatory reporting standards impose higher proprietary costs. Finally, at the firm level, firms with higher abnormal profitability are more likely to exclude registration rights in private placements to protect their abnormal profitability from competition.
本研究探讨强制性披露的专有成本如何影响私募中排除注册权的决定。注册权要求发行人在私募配售后的3至7个月内向美国证交会注册,从而提前承诺发行人必须进行强制性披露。我发现,在行业层面上,以“产品差异化策略”为主导的行业,其无注册权私募比例高于以“低成本策略”为主导的产品市场。这一发现与Darrough(1993)的理论预测一致,即产品差异化阻碍了企业对企业特定信息披露的预先承诺。在同一行业,当强制性报告标准导致更高的专有成本时,更大比例的私募排除了注册权。最后,在企业层面,异常盈利能力较高的企业更有可能在私募中排除注册权,以保护其异常盈利能力免受竞争的影响。

Cross-Section of Equity Returns: Stock Market Volatility and Priced Factors 股票收益横截面:股票市场波动和定价因素
Pub Date : 2009-03-18 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1364834

We discuss the nature of risk valid factors should represent. The Campbell's (1993) ICAPM extended with heteroskedastic asset returns guides us to identify the risk; we show that many of empirically well-established factors contain information about the future changes in the investment opportunity set and that is why these factors are strongly priced across assets. Specifically, we show that size, momentum, liquidity (trading strategy based factors), industrial production growth, and inflation (macroeconomic factors) factors as well as both short- and long-run market volatility factors are significantly priced because they all have information about the changes in the future market volatility which characterizes the future investment opportunity set in our model. The time-series studies show that the above-mentioned factors do predict the market volatility and the cross-sectional studies show that these factors are priced due to their predictability on the future market volatility. Both studies are consistent and strongly support the relationship between the stock market volatility and the priced factors. By revealing the nature of risk the empirically well-established factors represent, we provide an explanation why we observe so many empirically strong factors in the literature.
我们讨论了风险的性质,有效因素应该代表。Campbell(1993)用异方差资产回报扩展的ICAPM指导我们识别风险;我们表明,许多经过实证验证的因素包含有关投资机会集未来变化的信息,这就是为什么这些因素在资产中被强烈定价的原因。具体来说,我们表明规模、动量、流动性(基于交易策略的因素)、工业生产增长和通货膨胀(宏观经济因素)因素以及短期和长期市场波动因素都是显著定价的,因为它们都有关于未来市场波动变化的信息,而未来市场波动是我们模型中设定的未来投资机会的特征。时间序列研究表明上述因素确实预测了市场波动,横断面研究表明这些因素由于其对未来市场波动的可预测性而被定价。两项研究结果一致,有力地支持了股票市场波动与定价因素之间的关系。通过揭示风险的本质,经验完善的因素代表,我们提供了一个解释,为什么我们观察到这么多的经验强有力的因素在文献中。

Cosmopolitanism, Assignment Duration, and Expatriate Adjustment: The Trade-Off between Well-Being and Performance 世界主义、外派时间与外派适应:幸福感与绩效之间的权衡
Pub Date : 2008-12-09 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1353128
A. Grinstein, Luc Wathieu
This paper questions the notion that expatriates should adjust to their host country, by showing that adjustment and its consequences are affected by cosmopolitanism and expected assignment duration. A study of 260 expatriates in the U.S. reveals that cosmopolitans expecting shorter (longer) assignments adjust more (less) to both work and non-work aspects of their host country, and that this is associated with increased well-being. In contrast, for non-cosmopolitans, more well-being occurs when longer (shorter) expected assignments are accompanied by increased (decreased) work and non-work adjustment. Further, from the findings emerges a clash between two aspects of successful expatriation - well-being and professional success: while non-work adjustment is not always associated with well-being, work adjustment is positively related to assignment performance across conditions and subjects.
本文通过表明调整及其后果受到世界主义和预期外派时间的影响,质疑外派人员应该适应东道国的观念。一项针对260名在美外籍人士的研究显示,希望在海外工作的人会更多地(或更少地)适应东道国的工作和非工作方面,而这与幸福感的提高有关。相反,对于非世界主义者来说,当更长(更短)的预期任务伴随着增加(减少)的工作和非工作调整时,幸福感会更高。此外,研究结果还揭示了成功外派的两个方面——幸福感和职业成功之间的冲突:虽然非工作调整并不总是与幸福感相关,但工作调整与各种条件和科目的外派绩效呈正相关。

Differences in Governance Practices between U.S. And Foreign Firms: Measurement, Causes, and Consequences 美国和外国公司治理实践的差异:度量、原因和后果

We construct a firm-level governance index that increases with minority shareholder protection. Compared to U.S. matching firms, only 12.68% of foreign firms have a higher index. The value of foreign firms falls as their index decreases relative to the index of matching U.S. firms. Our results suggest that lower country-level investor protection and other country characteristics make it suboptimal for foreign firms to invest as much in governance as U.S. firms do. Overall, we find that minority shareholders benefit from governance improvements and do so partly at the expense of controlling shareholders.
我们构建了一个公司治理指数,该指数随着中小股东保护的增加而增加。与美国的配对公司相比,只有12.68%的外国公司拥有更高的指数。外国公司的价值随着其指数相对于美国公司指数的下降而下降。我们的研究结果表明,较低的国家层面的投资者保护和其他国家的特点,使得外国公司在治理方面的投资不如美国公司多。总体而言,我们发现,小股东从治理改善中受益,而且这在一定程度上是以牺牲控股股东为代价的。

Who Survives? A Cross-Country Comparison 谁幸存?跨国比较

How capital structure, dividend policy and corporate governance vary across countries has been the focus of recent studies, but how resources are reallocated in response to poor performance has not received as much attention. This paper argues that the market for corporate control and the formal bankruptcy/liquidation processes of a country are two key mechanisms through which corporate assets are reallocated. Ideally, an economy would only allow the best users of economic resources to retain the right to use those assets and sub-optimal use would result in either a take-over by a more proficient owner or an asset sale. We present preliminary evidence that equity market delistings occur more frequently in countries with strong shareholder rights.

资本结构、股息政策和公司治理在不同国家之间的差异一直是最近研究的焦点,但如何重新分配资源以应对业绩不佳却没有受到太多关注。本文认为,公司控制权市场和一国的正式破产/清算程序是公司资产重新配置的两个关键机制。理想情况下,一个经济体只允许经济资源的最佳使用者保留使用这些资产的权利,而次优使用将导致要么被更熟练的所有者接管,要么被资产出售。我们提出的初步证据表明,在股东权利较强的国家,股票市场退市的发生更为频繁。此外,与收购相比,强大的债权人和股东权利增加了破产作为解决财务困境的机制的使用。我们还提出了初步证据,表明这些机制在日本并不有效。

This paper argues that the market for corporate control and the formal bankruptcy/liquidation processes of a country are two key mechanisms through which corporate assets are reallocated. Ideally, an economy would only allow the best users of economic resources to retain the right to use those assets and sub-optimal use would result in either a take-over by a more proficient owner or an asset sale.

Does Rudeness Really Matter?: The Effects of Rudeness on Task Performance and Helpfulness 粗鲁真的重要吗?粗鲁对任务表现和乐于助人的影响

In three experimental studies, we provide an empirical test of how rudeness affects task performance and helpfulness. Different forms of rudeness (rudeness instigated by a direct authority figure, rudeness delivered by a third-party offender, and imagining a situation in which a perpetrator was rude) converged to produce the same effects. Results from these studies showed that rudeness reduced performance on routine tasks as well as creative tasks. We also found that rude behavior decreased helpfulness. We examined the processes that mediated the rudeness-performance relationship and found evidence that disruption to cognitive processes fully mediated the rudeness-performance relationship.
在三个实验研究中,我们提供了一个关于粗鲁如何影响任务表现和帮助的实证测试。不同形式的粗鲁行为(由直接权威人物煽动的粗鲁行为,第三方冒犯者的粗鲁行为,以及想象犯罪者粗鲁的情况)汇聚在一起会产生同样的效果。这些研究的结果表明,粗鲁会降低日常任务和创造性任务的表现。我们还发现,粗鲁的行为会降低助人的能力。我们研究了中介粗鲁行为-绩效关系的过程,并发现证据表明,认知过程的中断完全中介了粗鲁行为-绩效关系。
