We explore the impact of overpaid dividends on future stock price crash risk. Using a dataset of 2662 firms with 15,416 firm-year observations of China's A-share listed firms, our result indicates that overpaid dividends are positively related to the likelihood of future stock price crash risk. The results further suggest that high-quality corporate governance and financial analyst coverage can moderate the positive effect of overpaid dividends on the crash risk. Moreover, continuous overpaid dividends and state-owned enterprises with overpaid dividends have a stronger impact on the crash risk, and overpaid dividends are significantly affected by their peer firms.

现行会计准则关于权益法使用条件的规定是原则导向会计准则的典型代表.本文以雅戈尔和苏宁易购将可供出售金融资产转换为以权益法核算的对联营企业投资事件为案例,研究权益法在运用和监管时所面临的困境,以此为例展示原则导向会计准则的实施效果.研究发现,现行会计准则及其配套的应用指南尚未明确、合理地界定权益法的使用条件,上市公司出现误用、滥用权益法的现象,监管机构面临着难以规范上市公司使用权益法的困境.本文认为,过于强调"原则导向"、忽略明线规定的会计准则会放任管理层的盈余管理行为,影响会计信息的真实性和可靠性;我国会计准则制定机构应坚持理论自信和制度自信,在与国际会计准则保持持续趋同的同时,根据我国现实情况设计必要的刚性规定,进一步完善符合中国国情的会计准则体系.

China's Central Government issued a deleveraging policy in 2018 to reduce the leverage of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). This paper takes China's deleveraging policy as an exogenous event and investigates the causal effects of the leverage on investment efficiency. The results show that after the implementation of the deleveraging policy, the decreasing leverage of the Chinese SOEs improves their investment efficiency. This paper contributes to the literature on leverage and investment and will be of interest to the emerging market's policy makers as it provides evidence that government intervention in the market economy can improve resource allocation.

本文以2007—2018年我国上市公司为样本,实证检验了新任高管是否运用权益法进行盈余管理,以及高管薪酬契约如何看待权益法的运用.研究结果表明,由于现行会计准则CAS2(2006,2014)关于权益法实施条件的规定弹性较大,权益法创造利润的能力较强,上市公司新任高管上任后会操纵权益法调增利润;但管理层薪酬契约高度认可采用权益法核算的投资收益,并未考虑权益法易被操纵的现状.本文丰富并深化了权益法使用后果的相关研究,为会计准则制定部门评价CAS2(2006,2014)的实施效果提供了经验证据.

以2007-2019年中国沪深A股非金融上市公司为样本,探究了实体企业的金融资产配置水平对其研发投入的影响及作用机制.实证结果表明,实体企业的金融资产配置水平与研发投入呈倒U型关系,即实体企业适度进行金融资产配置能够提高企业研发投入,而过度进行金融资产配置则会降低企业研发投入.作用机制分析显示,企业的金融资产配置通过影响财务风险作用于研发投入水平.进一步研究表明,融资约束水平正向调节两者的关系.

在资本市场快速发展的背景下,会计理论与实务界高度关注财务报表信息如何有助于使用者评估企业价值、进而做出买卖权益工具和债务工具的决策.基于现行会计准则所编制的财务报表,采用的是综合运用多种会计计量属性的混合计量模式,有关方面必然要关注,这种混合计量模式的运用是否会对财务报表信息的估值有用性产生影响.但研究者往往难以直接观察财务报表使用者的实际决策过程,难以得知会计计量模式的运用是否、以及如何影响财务报表使用者对企业价值的估值过程.本文利用上市公司并购交易中资产评估机构对被并购企业的价值评估资料,实证检验了被并购企业财务报表中会计计量模式的运用,是否影响了评估机构对评估方法的选择,是否影响了评估溢价.研究发现,被并购企业财务报表内公允价值计量的运用水平与资产基础法评估结果的采纳成反比,与企业价值评估溢价成正比.本文基于独特视角的研究,对于评价财务报表信息的有用性具有一定的参考价值.

This study is motivated by the research gap concerning cash dividend payouts in China. To fill this gap, we explore the impact of overpaid dividends on future stock price crash risk. We use a dataset of 2,662 firms with 15,416 firm-year observations of China’s A-share listed firms for the period 2009–2018. The baseline empirical result indicates that overpaid dividends are positively related to the likelihood of future stock price crash risk. The results further suggest that high-quality corporate governance and financial analyst coverage can moderate the positive effect of overpaid dividends on the crash risk. These results are valid after use of the difference-in-difference test and instrumental variable approach. Further, continuous overpaid dividends and state-owned enterprises with overpaid dividends have a stronger impact on the crash risk, and overpaid dividends are significantly affected by their peer firms.

Previous studies have reported mixed results on the effect of the green credit policy on firms' behaviors. Investment decision making is one of the most important elements of firms' behaviors, but few studies have discussed the relationship between the green credit policy and firms' investment decisions. Therefore, this paper explores the effect of green credit policy on firms' investment decisions. Using Chinese listed firms from 2008 to 2020, we found that the green credit policy tended to reduce pollutant-emitting firms' investment level but increases pollutant-emitting firms' investment efficiency; this effect was more pronounced in state-owned firms, firms with high-quality corporate governance, and those with a higher analyst following. This paper contributes to the literature on the economic consequences of the green credit policy and can help commercial banks and other financial institutions allocate green credits more effectively.

以2008-2018年A股实施了股权激励的民营上市公司为样本,考察了民营上市公司在股权激励方案中实施相对业绩评价对企业绩效的影响.研究发现:民营上市公司在股权激励方案中实施相对业绩评价可以显著提升企业绩效.进一步研究表明:在管理层能力较弱的民营上市公司中,实施相对业绩评价对管理层的激励作用更强,对企业绩效的提升作用更显著;与强势相对业绩评价相比,使用弱势相对业绩评价更有利于提升企业绩效.

东道国民众对中国的好感度是非正式制度的重要组成部分,其对中国企业海外并购绩效的影响至关重要.本文以2007-2017年中国上市公司248起海外并购为样本,研究表明,东道国民众对中国的好感度越高,中国上市公司海外并购的绩效越好;进一步研究表明,在高商誉样本、国有企业样本和非政治敏感行业并购样本中,东道国民众对中国的好感度提升中国企业海外并购绩效的作用更显著.最后,本文就如何提高东道国民众对中国的好感度提出了建议.

随着国际化进程的加快,外币交易业务已成为中国企业贸易的常态.《企业会计准则第19号——外币折算》对外币交易业务做出了专门的规定,准则将未实现的汇兑损益计入当期损益的会计处理,还存在商榷的空间.文章首先在会计理论上分析将未实现的汇兑损益计入当期损益是否合理;其次以中国国际航空股份有限公司为案例,探讨现行会计准则的规定对利润表的影响;最后提出将未实现汇兑损益计入其他综合收益的会计处理建议.
