This study empirically analyzes the effects of political corruption on corporate cash holdings policy and the impact of cash holdings on firm performance using 97 multinational data. We find that there is a nonlinear cubic function relationship between the political corruption and corporate cash holdings with a negative coefficient of cubic term of political corruption. Specifically, in developed countries with low levels of political corruption, there is a U-shape relationship between political corruption and cash holdings; however, in frontier and emerging countries, there is an Inverted-U-shape relationship. These results show that two hypothesis ‘Expropriation Shielding hypothesis’ and ‘Preoccupancy hypothesis’ on previous literature are not conflicting, but can be explained differently according to the level of development of countries and the level of political corruption. In addition, we find that the effects of political corruption on firm performance when firms use cash are different in developed and developing countries. From these results, we suggest that political corruption is an important variable in corporate financial policy and firm performance.
本文利用97个跨国公司的数据,实证分析了政治腐败对企业现金持有政策的影响以及现金持有对企业绩效的影响。研究发现,政治腐败与企业现金持有量之间存在非线性三次函数关系,且政治腐败三次项系数为负。具体而言,在政治腐败程度较低的发达国家,政治腐败与现金持有量之间存在u型关系;然而,在前沿和新兴国家,存在倒u型关系。这些结果表明,以往文献中的“征收屏蔽假说”和“预先占有假说”并不相互冲突,但可以根据国家的发展水平和政治腐败程度进行不同的解释。此外,我们发现,当企业使用现金时,政治腐败对企业绩效的影响在发达国家和发展中国家是不同的。从这些结果来看,我们认为政治腐败是企业财务政策和企业绩效的重要变量。

Peer Review and the Global Anti-Corruption Conventions: Context, Theory and Practice 同行评议与全球反腐败公约:背景、理论与实践
Pub Date : 2017-08-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3025230

This article analyses the international anti-corruption framework and the peer review monitoring process. Peer review is described as the “systematic examination and assessment of the performance of a state by other states, with the ultimate goal of helping the reviewed state … comply with established standards and principles.” However, despite its growing importance as a regulatory process, peer review has not been comprehensively analysed, resulting in a “literature famine” on its nature and operations. Indeed, to date, there has been very limited academic discussion on peer review. As a result, one aim of this article is to contribute to a stronger understanding of its process. While our focus is on peer review in the anti-corruption context, where possible, universal characteristics of the process are discussed. The second objective of this article is to consider the merits of the peer review process in incentivising states to take action against corruption. Peer review is the mechanism for evaluation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) under its Anti-bribery Convention and the African Union’s (AU) good governance objectives under good governance objectives under the Peer Review Mechanism (APRM). Whilst acknowledging the criticisms of peer review, this article argues that peer review has been successful in particular contexts in increasing state compliance with these international instruments. In particular, peer review has contributed to the acceptance of anti-corruption norms and focused on the need for all countries to regulate corruption at the national level.
本文分析了国际反腐败框架和同行评议监督过程。同行评议被描述为“其他国家对一个国家的表现进行系统的检查和评估,最终目的是帮助被评议的国家……遵守既定的标准和原则。”然而,尽管同行评议作为一种监管程序越来越重要,但它并没有得到全面的分析,导致了对其性质和运作的“文献饥荒”。事实上,迄今为止,关于同行评议的学术讨论非常有限。因此,本文的目的之一就是帮助更好地理解其过程。虽然我们的重点是反腐败背景下的同行评议,但在可能的情况下,我们讨论了这一过程的普遍特征。本文的第二个目标是考虑同行评议过程在激励各国采取反腐败行动方面的优点。同行审议是对《联合国反腐败公约》(UNCAC)、经济合作与发展组织(OECD)的《反贿赂公约》以及非洲联盟(AU)的善治目标(APRM)的善治目标)进行评估的机制。在承认对同行评议的批评的同时,本文认为同行评议在提高国家对这些国际文书的遵守方面在特定情况下是成功的。特别是,同行审查有助于接受反腐败规范,并侧重于所有国家在国家一级管制腐败的必要性。

Impact of Third Party Audits on Compliance and Corruption: Evidence Using a Policy Experiment 第三方审计对合规和腐败的影响:基于政策实验的证据
Pub Date : 2017-01-24 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2904811
Prasanna Tantri
Using a policy experiment in India, we examine the impact of a third party audit on tax compliance. Employing the generalized difference-in-difference methodology, we find that growth in tax payment is 58 percentage points higher under a regime with no third party audit. The fact that the differential growth in tax is negatively associated with differential growth in discretionary expenses and also absence of any real growth of treated firms, suggestively indicate collusion and corruption. Our results hold up-to a battery of placebo tests, absorption of time varying and time invariant unobservable factors and, display heterogeneity based on expected lines.
通过印度的政策实验,我们研究了第三方审计对税收合规的影响。采用广义差中差方法,我们发现在没有第三方审计的制度下,纳税增长率高出58个百分点。事实上,税收的差异增长与可自由支配费用的差异增长呈负相关,而且受到待遇的公司也没有任何实际增长,这暗示着勾结和腐败。我们的结果符合一系列安慰剂测试,吸收时变和时不变的不可观察因素,并显示基于预期线的异质性。

Ownership Control of Foreign Affiliates: A Property Rights Theory Perspective 国外子公司的所有权控制:一个产权理论的视角
Pub Date : 2016-08-24 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2862968
N. Driffield, T. Mickiewicz, Yama Temouri
This paper applies property rights theory to explain changes in foreign affiliates’ ownership. Post-entry ownership change is driven by both firm-level characteristics and by the differences in the institutional environments in host countries. We distinguish between financial market development and the level of corruption as two different institutional dimensions, such that changes along these dimensions impact upon ownership change in different ways. Furthermore, we argue that changes in ownership are affected by the foreign affiliate’s relatedness with its parent’s sector, as well as by the affiliate’s maturity. We use firm level data across 125 host countries to test our hypotheses.
本文运用产权理论来解释外资子公司所有权的变化。进入后所有权的变化是由公司层面的特征和东道国制度环境的差异驱动的。我们将金融市场发展和腐败程度区分为两个不同的制度维度,因此这些维度的变化会以不同的方式影响所有权的变化。此外,我们认为,所有权的变化受到外国子公司与其母公司部门的关系以及子公司的成熟度的影响。我们使用125个东道国的企业数据来检验我们的假设。

On Basu's Proposal: Fines Affect Bribes 巴苏的建议:罚款影响贿赂
Pub Date : 2016-08-08 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2783262
Sergey V Popov
I provide a model that connects the bribe amount with the fines imposed on both bribe-taker and bribe-payer. I show that the proposal of Basu (2011) to not punish bribe-payers to induce whistleblowing does not have to help lower bribes. Higher fines on bribe-takers will make them ask for larger bribes, whereas lowering fines for bribe-paying on bribe-payers might increase their willingness to pay the bribe. An increase in transparency, if achieved, effectively increases both fines simultaneously.
我提供了一个模型,将贿赂金额与对行贿者和行贿者施加的罚款联系起来。我证明Basu(2011)提出的不惩罚行贿者以诱导检举的建议并不一定有助于降低贿赂。对行贿者处以更高的罚款会使他们要求更多的贿赂,而降低对行贿者的罚款可能会增加他们行贿的意愿。透明度的提高,如果实现,有效地同时增加了这两项罚款。

Bribes, Crimes and Law Enforcement 贿赂、犯罪和执法
Pub Date : 2016-04-03 DOI: 10.54648/eulr2017003
Erling Hjelmeng, Tina Søreide
The law enforcement shortcomings in corruption cases are substantial and call for a greater scope of enforcement tools and efficient procedures. Main concerns in reform should include basic criminal law principles, consequences for markets, access to the information necessary for reactions, and value for money in enforcement operations. In this article, we suggest European governments can strengthen the preventive effects of criminal law vis-à-vis corporations by clarifying how various forms of negligence will lead to reactions, request self-assessments of estimated/accepted business risk, apply predictable principles for duty-based sanctions (with strict residual liability), and develop principled rules for negotiated settlements. In addition, for criminal law reactions to incentivize firms to self-police and self-report, we argue that debarment from public contracting and other severe consequences of a criminal-law reaction should be placed under the control of one law enforcement entity. Eventually, due to strict conditions on the use of criminal law reactions, it is also necessary to let civil law reactions better complement the enforcement strategies of criminal justice systems.
贪污案件的执法缺陷严重,需要更广泛的执法工具和更有效的程序。改革的主要问题应包括基本的刑法原则、对市场的影响、获得作出反应所需的信息以及执法行动中的物有所值。在本文中,我们建议欧洲各国政府可以通过澄清各种形式的疏忽将如何导致反应,要求对估计/可接受的商业风险进行自我评估,对基于责任的制裁(严格的剩余责任)应用可预测的原则,并为谈判解决制定原则性规则,从而加强刑法对-à-vis公司的预防作用。此外,为了激励企业自我监督和自我报告的刑法反应,我们认为,禁止公共合同和其他刑法反应的严重后果应该置于一个执法实体的控制之下。最后,由于刑法反应的使用条件严格,也有必要让民法反应更好地补充刑事司法系统的执行策略。

Corruption, Fatigued Democracy and Bad Governance: Are They Co-Determinants of Poverty Risk and Social Exclusion in Europe? A Cross-Country Macro-Level Comparison 腐败、疲惫的民主和糟糕的治理:它们是欧洲贫困风险和社会排斥的共同决定因素吗?跨国宏观比较
Pub Date : 2016-01-23 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2720828
B. Bosco
Using a macro panel of 31 European countries, this paper explores the hypothesis that cross-country differences in the exposition to the risk of poverty or social exclusion (as defined by the Europe 2020 anti-poverty strategy) are strongly affected by countries’ political, institutional and legal characteristics and particularly by the level of perceived corruption in the public and political sectors. As expected, the results show that economic growth, income distribution, public expenditure and investment, as well as education but not technical development, have strong effects on poverty reduction. This notwithstanding, results indicate that corruption and poor institutional quality significantly interact with economic co-factors and threaten the positive effects of growth on poverty. Altogether, the results signal the need for reassessment of the Euro 2020 strategy, which mainly relies on economic instruments alone.
通过对31个欧洲国家的宏观分析,本文探讨了这样一个假设,即各国对贫困或社会排斥风险(如欧洲2020年反贫困战略所定义的那样)的暴露差异受到各国政治、制度和法律特征的强烈影响,特别是受到公共和政治部门腐败程度的影响。正如预期的那样,结果表明,经济增长、收入分配、公共支出和投资,以及教育,而不是技术发展,对减贫有很强的影响。尽管如此,结果表明,腐败和制度质量差与经济协同因素显著相互作用,并威胁到增长对贫困的积极影响。总之,这些结果表明,有必要重新评估主要依赖经济手段的2020年欧洲杯战略。

Netizens and Private Monitoring in Chinese Banking 中国银行业的网民与私人监控
Pub Date : 2015-11-11 DOI: 10.1108/S1569-376720160000017010

Abstract Purpose Much of the criticism directed toward banking in China revolves around self-dealing in relationships between bankers and their clients. Corruption, nepotism, high levels of non-performing loans, and the inefficiency of government-directed lending have all been laid at the door of embedded guanxi networks. While valid to an extent, this criticism ignores two important, related points: guanxi networks bring disciplining mechanisms as well as the potential for corruption, and those mechanisms may improve banking governance. Methodology/approach Employing theory from relationship banking, information economics, and the business ethics of guanxi, I examine how monitoring by netizens will lead to greater disclosure. Findings Relationship banking in a Chinese context – with the influence of guanxi in banking – further increases reputational costs when self-dealing is uncovered. Costs of bad banking behavior are increasing just as benefits from staying rich increase. Increased disclosure affects chances of staying rich as disclosure increases the chance that a corrupt relationship will lead to loss of wealth and reputation. Research limitations/implications This paper presents a theoretical construct informed by selected examples. An empirical analysis of netizen monitoring leading to improved banking governance would provide additional support for the theoretical construct. Practical implications Bankers, financiers, and government officials must be aware of monitoring by netizens, which forces more ethical financial contracting. Social implications Rather than weakening financial system governance, guanxi may begin to strengthen the disciplinary measures inherent in relationship banking as information disclosure increases and private sector monitoring grows. Originality/value This paper provides an extension to private monitoring theory in financial contracting which may be applied to netizen monitoring in other regions and countries.
针对中国银行业的许多批评都围绕着银行家与客户之间的自我交易。腐败、裙带关系、高水平的不良贷款以及政府指导的贷款效率低下,都是根深蒂固的关系网络的根源。虽然在某种程度上是正确的,但这种批评忽略了两个重要的、相关的点:关系网络带来了惩戒机制和腐败的可能性,而这些机制可能会改善银行治理。本文运用关系银行、信息经济学和关系商业伦理的理论,考察了网民的监督如何导致更大程度的信息披露。研究结果:在中国的背景下,关系银行在银行业务中受到关系的影响,当发现自我交易时,关系银行进一步增加了声誉成本。不良银行行为的成本正在增加,就像保持富裕的好处在增加一样。增加披露会影响保持富有的机会,因为披露会增加腐败关系导致财富和声誉损失的机会。研究局限/启示本文通过选定的例子提出了一个理论结构。对网民监督导致银行治理改善的实证分析将为理论构建提供额外的支持。银行家、金融家和政府官员必须意识到网民的监视,这将迫使更多的道德金融合同。随着信息披露的增加和私营部门监督的加强,关系可能会开始加强关系银行固有的纪律措施,而不是削弱金融体系治理。本文为金融契约中的私人监督理论提供了一种延伸,可以应用于其他地区和国家的网民监督。
{"title":"Netizens and Private Monitoring in Chinese Banking","authors":"W. Selmier","doi":"10.1108/S1569-376720160000017010","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1108/S1569-376720160000017010","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract \u0000Purpose \u0000Much of the criticism directed toward banking in China revolves around self-dealing in relationships between bankers and their clients. Corruption, nepotism, high levels of non-performing loans, and the inefficiency of government-directed lending have all been laid at the door of embedded guanxi networks. While valid to an extent, this criticism ignores two important, related points: guanxi networks bring disciplining mechanisms as well as the potential for corruption, and those mechanisms may improve banking governance. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Methodology/approach \u0000Employing theory from relationship banking, information economics, and the business ethics of guanxi, I examine how monitoring by netizens will lead to greater disclosure. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Findings \u0000Relationship banking in a Chinese context – with the influence of guanxi in banking – further increases reputational costs when self-dealing is uncovered. Costs of bad banking behavior are increasing just as benefits from staying rich increase. Increased disclosure affects chances of staying rich as disclosure increases the chance that a corrupt relationship will lead to loss of wealth and reputation. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Research limitations/implications \u0000This paper presents a theoretical construct informed by selected examples. An empirical analysis of netizen monitoring leading to improved banking governance would provide additional support for the theoretical construct. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Practical implications \u0000Bankers, financiers, and government officials must be aware of monitoring by netizens, which forces more ethical financial contracting. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Social implications \u0000Rather than weakening financial system governance, guanxi may begin to strengthen the disciplinary measures inherent in relationship banking as information disclosure increases and private sector monitoring grows. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Originality/value \u0000This paper provides an extension to private monitoring theory in financial contracting which may be applied to netizen monitoring in other regions and countries.","PeriodicalId":326708,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Institutions & Corruption (Topic)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125544584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

International sports will have to strengthen their efforts to exclude persons with morals in conflict with their sports. IOC and FIFA should mirror their top ambitions in athletic and financial areas by similarly leading ambitions to serve human mankind more generally. To encounter critiques that the organizing of major sporting events are „elitist actions“ IOC and FIFA should declare ex-ante referenda as a precondition for bidding. In order to reduce the funds available for corruption, the role of public finance in major sporting events should be overthought. At least broadcasters under public law public should be excluded from the bidding for TV. FIFA and other sporting federations should make public their payments to member federations etc and the underlying decision criteria.
国际体育必须加强努力,排除道德与体育运动有冲突的人。国际奥委会和国际足联应该效仿他们在体育和金融领域的最高抱负,更广泛地为人类服务。国际奥委会和国际足联应将举办大型体育赛事作为申办的先决条件,以应对“精英行为”的批评。为了减少可用于腐败的资金,公共财政在重大体育赛事中的作用应该得到充分考虑。至少公法下的广播公司应该被排除在电视竞标之外。国际足联和其他体育联合会应该公开他们向成员联合会支付的款项等以及潜在的决策标准。
