This study examines the impact of firm diversification on performance during the Covid-19 pandemic, with a focus on investment efficiency and labor productivity. Leveraging the pandemic as an external shock, we explore whether diversified firms navigate disruptions more effectively than single-segment firms. Our findings indicate that diversified firms, particularly those with greater financial flexibility, outperform the focused counterparts. This study highlights the role of internal capital and labor markets in crisis mitigation and underscores the importance of financial resilience. It contributes to the diversification debate and provides managerial insights into strengthening organizational resilience amid external shocks.
本研究考察了2019冠状病毒病大流行期间企业多元化对业绩的影响,重点关注投资效率和劳动生产率。利用疫情作为外部冲击,我们探讨多元化公司是否比单一部门公司更有效地应对中断。我们的研究结果表明,多元化的公司,特别是那些具有更大财务灵活性的公司,表现优于专注的同行。本研究强调了内部资本和劳动力市场在缓解危机中的作用,并强调了金融复原力的重要性。它有助于多样化辩论,并为加强外部冲击下的组织弹性提供管理见解。

The literature rarely addresses the correlation between option-implied information in the stock and cryptocurrency markets. This study introduces VMS, defined as the difference between the squared VIX and SVIX indices, which captures the left-tail risk of the stock market (Martin, 2017). Analyzing data from 2014 to 2022, we find that higher VMS predicts increased excess returns in the cryptocurrency market. This relationship remains robust when controlling for economic policy uncertainty (Baker, et al., 2016) and the VIX premium (Cheng, 2019), with no significant impacts from crypto-size or crypto-momentum factors.
文献很少涉及股票和加密货币市场中期权隐含信息之间的相关性。本研究引入了VMS,定义为VIX指数和VIX指数的平方之差,它捕获了股票市场的左尾风险(Martin, 2017)。分析2014年至2022年的数据,我们发现更高的VMS预示着加密货币市场的超额回报会增加。在控制经济政策不确定性(Baker, et al., 2016)和VIX溢价(Cheng, 2019)时,这种关系仍然稳固,加密货币规模或加密货币动量因素没有显著影响。

The role of monetary policy in combating money laundering is underexplored. This study examines how central bank monetary instruments, financial development, and governance influence anti-money laundering (AML) effectiveness across 126 countries (2012–2022). Using macroeconomic theories, we analyze financial institutions’ trade-offs between AML compliance and profit-driven behaviors, such as exploiting high deposit rates. Key findings indicate: (1) broad money supply weakens AML effectiveness, especially post-2015 due to FinTech growth; (2) deposit rates, amplified by financial development, increase money laundering risks; (3) strong control of corruption enhances AML, particularly in less developed financial systems. These results, derived from OLS with robust standard errors and two-step system GMM, highlight the need to integrate AML objectives into monetary and financial policies through targeted measures, including interest rate monitoring, AI-driven transaction tracking, FATF cooperation, and governance reforms.
货币政策在打击洗钱方面的作用尚未得到充分探讨。本研究考察了126个国家(2012-2022年)中央银行货币工具、金融发展和治理如何影响反洗钱(AML)有效性。运用宏观经济理论,我们分析了金融机构在“反洗钱”合规和利润驱动行为(如利用高存款利率)之间的权衡。主要研究结果表明:(1)广义货币供应削弱了“反洗钱”的有效性,尤其是在2015年后,由于金融科技的增长;(2)存款利率被金融发展放大,洗钱风险加大;(3)加强对腐败的控制可以加强“反洗钱”,特别是在欠发达的金融体系中。这些结果来自具有稳健标准误差的OLS和两步系统GMM,强调需要通过有针对性的措施将“反洗钱”目标纳入货币和金融政策,包括利率监测、人工智能驱动的交易跟踪、FATF合作和治理改革。

This paper studies the bank lending channel of monetary policy in South Africa. We measure credit supply with homeloan data from banks and nonbanks and we use monetary shocks via high-frequency asset price reactions to policy announcements in a proxy-SVAR model. We find that the bank lending channel is operative, as banks reduce the supply of homeloans after monetary tightening, negatively impacting the housing market. In addition, we show that the deposit channel underpins the bank lending channel’s effectiveness. After a monetary tightening, banks widen the deposits spread and the volume of deposits shrinks, as expected. Since retail deposits are vital stable funding for banks, this mechanism drives the lending channel.
本文研究了南非货币政策的银行贷款渠道。我们用银行和非银行的住房贷款数据来衡量信贷供应,并在代理svar模型中通过高频资产价格对政策公告的反应来使用货币冲击。我们发现,银行贷款渠道是有效的,因为银行在货币紧缩后减少了住房贷款的供应,对住房市场产生了负面影响。此外,我们还表明,存款渠道支撑着银行贷款渠道的有效性。在货币紧缩之后,银行扩大了存款利差,存款总量如预期的那样萎缩。由于零售存款是银行至关重要的稳定资金来源,这一机制推动了贷款渠道。

Economic news contain valuable information to predict future movements in financial market prices. We explore the relative importance of news flow to forecast realized volatility in the Brazilian stock market. We build news-based uncertainty indicators from articles of major newspapers in Brazil. We then incorporate these indicators into volatility models that already account for persistence, leverage effects, jumps, and market microstructure noise. We find that adding news-based indicators significantly improves the forecasting ability of volatility models, especially for the most liquid stocks and, perhaps surprisingly, for longer horizons. Because news cycles are more persistent than negative returns and jumps, they contribute more than the latter in forecasting realized volatility up to four weeks ahead.
经济新闻包含有价值的信息,可以预测金融市场价格的未来走势。我们探讨了新闻流对预测巴西股市已实现波动率的相对重要性。我们从巴西主要报纸的文章中建立了基于新闻的不确定性指标。然后,我们将这些指标纳入波动性模型,该模型已经考虑了持久性、杠杆效应、跳跃和市场微观结构噪声。我们发现,增加基于新闻的指标显著提高了波动率模型的预测能力,尤其是对于流动性最强的股票,也许令人惊讶的是,对于更长的视野。由于新闻周期比负回报和跳涨更持久,它们在预测未来四周的实际波动方面比后者贡献更大。

This paper explores how artificial intelligence (AI) drives corporate innovation. Using a procurement‑based AI adoption index, patent records, and supply‑chain data from 4004 A-share firms over 2011–2023, we find that greater AI adoption significantly increases the output and efficiency of firms' innovation. We propose a dual‑channel model in which AI enhances knowledge creation and reuse (knowledge orchestration) and transforms data into actionable environmental assets (data assetization). Heterogeneity analysis reveals that large incumbents and growth‑stage firms leverage AI most effectively for innovation outputs and efficiency. Further analysis shows that AI-driven innovation is amplified in firms with executives who have information technology backgrounds, and that highly innovative firms diversify their supply chain to reduce resource risk. Our results demonstrate AI’s potential to advance corporate innovation. We conclude with policy recommendations for municipal planners and corporate strategists to enhance firms’ competitive advantage and promote the development of AI.
本文探讨了人工智能(AI)如何推动企业创新。利用基于采购的人工智能采用指数、专利记录和2011-2023年4004家a股公司的供应链数据,我们发现人工智能采用程度越高,企业的创新产出和效率就越高。我们提出了一种双通道模型,其中人工智能增强了知识的创造和重用(知识编排),并将数据转换为可操作的环境资产(数据资产化)。异质性分析显示,大型企业和成长期企业最有效地利用人工智能来提高创新产出和效率。进一步的分析表明,在高管拥有信息技术背景的公司中,人工智能驱动的创新被放大了,高度创新的公司使其供应链多样化以降低资源风险。我们的研究结果证明了人工智能在推动企业创新方面的潜力。最后,我们为市政规划者和企业战略家提供了政策建议,以增强企业的竞争优势,促进人工智能的发展。

We propose a competitive equilibrium model incorporating taxation and minimum wage constraints in the presence of capital-skill complementarity. The paper mainly addresses how exogenous minimum wage constraints (MWC) impact the optimal progressivity of labor income tax and optimal capital income tax rate. We find the following two results for a steady-state optimal taxes with a binding MWC in an economy with risk averse agents: (i) The capital tax rate is positive, (ii) The labor tax schedule is less progressive in the presence of the MWC than in its absence.
我们提出了一个竞争均衡模型,在资本技能互补性存在的情况下,结合税收和最低工资约束。本文主要研究外生最低工资约束对劳动所得税最优累进率和资本所得税最优税率的影响。我们发现,在一个具有风险厌恶主体的经济体中,对于具有约束性MWC的稳态最优税收,有以下两个结果:(i)资本税率为正,(ii)存在MWC时,劳动税收计划的累进程度低于不存在MWC时。

We examine regulatory risks under biodiversity conservation policy and use a difference-in-differences (DID) model to assess the Green Shield Program's (GSP) impact on enterprise audit pricing. We find that biodiversity regulations increase audit pricing for nature reserve enterprises, with policy effects strengthening over time. Mechanism tests confirm risk disclosure and contagion channels explain this trend. Further analysis excludes "economic correlation collusion" and "firewall risk isolation" as drivers of risk premiums, indicating auditors appropriately compensate for biodiversity regulatory risks. Additionally, GSP boosts the total factor productivity and green total factor productivity of enterprises in nature reserves, supporting the Porter hypothesis. We provide insights into achieving the Porter effect through regulation and offer guidance for implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
我们研究了生物多样性保护政策下的监管风险,并使用差异中的差异(DID)模型来评估绿色盾计划(GSP)对企业审计定价的影响。研究发现,生物多样性法规增加了自然保护区企业的审计定价,且政策效应随着时间的推移而增强。机制测试证实了风险披露和传染渠道解释了这一趋势。进一步的分析排除了“经济关联串通”和“防火墙风险隔离”作为风险溢价的驱动因素,表明审计师适当地补偿了生物多样性监管风险。普惠制提高了自然保护区企业的全要素生产率和绿色全要素生产率,支持波特假设。通过规制实现波特效应,为《昆明-蒙特利尔全球生物多样性框架》的实施提供指导。

Booming markets are a time of high risk and high returns, including the risk of misrepresenting the quality of an investment. China’s debt market is recently experiencing a booming period, and thus this paper presents empirical evidence of ratings shopping in the enterprise bond market. The evidence herein shows that some firms obtain higher credit ratings than they should, resulting in a lower cost of debt financing. We also find that investors become aware of this after multiple financing rounds and punish all clients of those ratings firms that inflate ratings, resulting in a so-called lemon market for the bonds of certain firms.
繁荣的市场是一个高风险和高回报的时代,包括对投资质量的错误描述的风险。近年来,中国债券市场正处于繁荣期,因此本文提出了企业债券市场评级购买的实证证据。本文的证据表明,一些公司获得了比他们应该更高的信用评级,导致较低的债务融资成本。我们还发现,投资者在多次融资后意识到这一点,并惩罚那些夸大评级的评级公司的所有客户,导致某些公司的债券出现所谓的柠檬市场。

Will connectedness between urban areas foster cooperation?——The impact of urban agglomerations on open innovation 城市互联互通是否会促进合作?——城市群对开放式创新的影响

Enhancing collaboration among enterprises is crucial for fostering and achieving creative progress across the region and within the industry. Distributing resources and risks is an efficient approach to leverage external benefits that can offset a firm’s inherent deficiencies. This study investigates the impact of urban agglomerations on fostering open innovation among firms traded on China’s A-share markets from 2010 to 2021. Our findings reveal that urban agglomerations decrease the quantity of open innovation but enhance its quality. Mechanism analysis indicates that urban agglomerations improve the quality of open innovation by dismantling transportation barriers; however, urban agglomerations reduce open innovation quantity by promoting industrial concentration.

加强企业之间的合作对于促进和实现整个区域和行业内的创造性进步至关重要。分配资源和风险是利用外部利益来抵消企业内在缺陷的有效方法。本研究考察了2010 - 2021年中国a股上市公司中城市群对开放式创新的促进作用。研究发现,城市群开放创新的数量在减少,质量在提高。机制分析表明,城市群通过拆除交通壁垒提高开放式创新质量;而城市群通过促进产业集中度降低了开放创新量。这种城市群与开放式创新之间的关系在大型企业中表现得尤为明显。我们的研究还表明,城市群不能抵消管理近视。对于信息披露有限的企业,城市群对开放式创新质量有正向影响。

Distributing resources and risks is an efficient approach to leverage external benefits that can offset a firm’s inherent deficiencies. This study investigates the impact of urban agglomerations on fostering open innovation among firms traded on China’s A-share markets from 2010 to 2021. Our findings reveal that urban agglomerations decrease the quantity of open innovation but enhance its quality. Mechanism analysis indicates that urban agglomerations improve the quality of open innovation by dismantling transportation barriers; however, urban agglomerations reduce open innovation quantity by promoting industrial concentration.
