A Study on Improving the Financing Environment of Small and Micro Enterprises-Based on Taizhou Model

China’s small and micro enterprises have always had the typical characteristics of“five,six,seven,eight,nine,”which are important supports to expand employment and improve people’s livelihood.However,the current proportion of these enterprises in obtaining bank loans does not commensurate with the proportion of small,medium,and micro enterprises in the total economic aggregate.The financing dilemma of small and micro enterprises still exists.In consideration of the financing status of small and micro enterprises,this study analyzes the constraints of small and micro enterprises in financing,such as the difficulty in mortgage,difficulty in obtaining loans,and difficulty in guaranteeing.This study sorts out Taizhou’s practical experience and links its operation mechanism of“two platforms,one fund,and one index.”Finally,by learning from its successful experience,how to utilize the environment and the trend of big data will be further discussed,so as to form a scalable and sustainable financing method and path.This will provide a reference for improving the financing environment of small and micro enterprises.

Islamic Banks Impaired Financing： Relationship Between Shariah Committee Meetings Frequency and Shariah Risks Compliance on Assets Quality

This study made a pioneering attempt to econometrically examine what factors determining impaired financing using shariah committee meetings frequency from data on Islamic banks in Malaysia and how does it affects on the quality of assets. The objective of the study is to improve assessment of their assets quality so as to increase the reliability of the financial statements. The European Central Bank may find the findings from this study useful in their exercise to assess risks and assets quality of their commercial banks, a move to tackle the ailing banks in centralizing oversight supervision in late 2014. The major components of the Islamic banks＇ assets quality are impaired financing and provisions for financing impairment. In the Islamic banks, shariah committee principally manages the shariah risks non-compliance with other risks; however because their management is not straightforward, the study uses the shariah committee meetings frequency as an indicator of the assets quality. The study found the less-than-full frequency of shariah committee meetings resulted in less guidance and conformation of shariah principles, and consequentially the quality of the assets.

The Risks of Financing Energy in Turkey: Heading for a Rocky Road

After the implementation of Energy Efficiency Law (EEL) in Turkey, Turkish engineering firms show considerable interest in energy savings projects. There is a growing sign of an energy effi- ciency implementation in Turkey. However, energy importation costs of Turkey still present a challenge leading to huge financial burdens. This paper explores the energy financing in Turkey and the likelihood of risks after the establishment of structural reforms. The so-called structural problems on the agenda of Turkey are emphasized during the crisis. Actually, global crisis affected the lending conditions herein counterparty risk and restricted the relations of enterprises and banks. In this study, it is argued that there are strong barriers for the future energy saving industry in Turkey made up of macro-economic, micro-economic and financial risks coming through both domestic and global means.

Research on Financing Game Model of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises based on Different Risk Categories

With the development of market economy and the deepening of economic system reform, some of the Small and medium-sized（SME） enterprises have become the most dynamic economic growth point in the national economy. Nevertheless, SMEs are facing a lot of problems in the market competition, such as technical backwardness, information lag, lack of talents, etc.. The healthy development of SMEs is very important, whereas, SMEs’ financing is a worldwide problem, and the result of financing game between banks and enterprises depends on a variety of decision-making factors. In this paper, from the point of view of bank, we analyze the diffi culties of external financing of SMEs, and establish a financing game model based on different risk categories, in order to better solve the problems that remain in the process of financing and promote the healthy and sustainable development of SMEs.

Why Are Risk-Pooling and Risk-Sharing Arrangements Necessary for Financing Healthcare and Improving Health Outcomes in Low and Lower Middle-Income Countries

Health is important to economic development, and economic development has an important impact on health outcomes. Health Expenditure makes up a substantial part of the global economy. In the world, the costs of healthcare are increasing;patients are compelled to pay more for treatment, and that makes a lot of people faced to Catastrophic Health Expenditures (CHE) and in long run fall below the poverty line. One of the most urgent and vexing challenges faced by many low- and middle-income countries is how to provide health care for the more than two billion poor people who live in these areas (developing countries). As much as more than 65% (in 2014) of total private health care expenditure in low-income countries comes from out-of-pocket payment by patients. In addition, according to World Bank report (2007), in low and lower middle-income countries was speared nearly 13% of global health spending with 87% the global disease burden. The WHO considers health financing models with high risk pooled, such as health insurance and prepaid schemes, a promising means for achieving universal health-care coverage and promotion health care. A crucial concept in health financing is that of pooling. The WHO defines risk-pooling as the “accumulation and management of revenues in such a way as to ensure that the risk of having to pay for health care is borne by all members of the pool and not by each contributor individually”. The larger degree of pooling, the less people will have to bear the health financial risks. Furthermore, adopting and operating financing policies based on greeter risk pooling/sharing (prepayments) are recommended to all countries (especially in low and lower-middle income countries). It means risk sharing/pooling plays a key role in all financing systems for achieving effectiveness and efficiency health systems.

Evaluating health care financing in a highly decentralized Beveridge model

The Finnish health care system is financed in a highly decentralized manner. In the tax-financed Beveridge model each municipality is responseble for financing and organizing health care services for its residents. This paper examined the annual incidence and treatment costs of three cost-intensive DRG-groups, and all DRG-groups together. The objective was to estimate municipal level predictions on the incidence of new illness cases and their associated costs, and to analyze whether there was greater uncertainty in anticipated specialized health care costs in municipalities with smaller populations. The dataset comprised of longitudinal hospital utilization and discharge data from Hospital Discharge Registers. The expected annual variation of illness cases and costs was assessed with respect to 95% confidence intervals estimated for each morbidity group and municipality. The results indicated that the costs of the selected morbidity groups fluctuated in a completely uncontrollable manner in municipalities with small populations. As the median size of Finnish municipalities is less than 6000, the inability to anticipate periodic health care costs constitutes an extensive financial problem and calls for the establishment of larger regional units and funding pools.

Determination of the Financing Scale,Time Limit and Returns from the Investment in BOT Projects

The key aspect to the successful implementation of BOT concept is the raising of finance by project sponsor,so financial engineering techniques and capital structuring skills are required to find the proper mix of debt and equity.The capital structure and present a model to determine the equity level from the aspects of financing scale,construction time and return on investment are analyzed.The resulting model can help the sponsor to avoid the capital risk,and offer the government a criterion to evaluate management ability of the sponsor.To show the application and availability of this model,a case study is conducted.Thus,this paper is concern with the determination of financing scale,construction time,and return on investment which would assist the sponsor to ensure that the equity level for optimal capital structure is available prior to the implementation stage in BOT project operation.

Intellectual property is a strategic resource of national development and essential factor of international competitiveness,and finance is the core of modern economy.Strengthening the financing of intellectual property is an important way to promote the innovative development of society.However,the financing channel of intellectual property is not smooth in China,and enterprises have difficulty in financing and sink into the dilemma of high cost of financing.Therefore,the paper innovates to construct financing pattern of intellectual property finance and makes a detailed analysis about its implementation approaches based on the reference of useful experiences from foreign countries.Furthermore,the paper will build risk-compensation mechanism of intellectual property Finance.The purpose of the paper is to expand the financing channel and to improve the financing efficiency of intellectual property.

Research on Risk Analysis and Avoidance of Private Financing

Private financing is a supplementary of financial services and capital market allocation of resources, and it is also an important financing channel for SMEs and an important factor which has great impact on economic and financial operations. However, with the growing scale of private financing, there are large potential risks which affect the normal operation of private financing, and even affect the long-term development of financial markets. This paper analyzes the current situation of private financing and risks existing in current private financing, and propose some ways to avoid the risk of private financing, to provide a theoretical basis for future research on private financing risks.

Research on the Risk Management Issues of VAM Agreements in Private Equity Financing

At present,the biggest obstacle that growing enterprises may encounter in their development process is insufficient funds.Private equity financing does not only solve the capital problem of enterprises,but also provide enterprises with professional management concepts and even help growing enterprises to go public in advance.However,high returns must be accompanied by high risks.For example,private equity financing has information asymmetry risks,principal-agent risks,etc.,and these risks make it impossible to maximize the advantages of private equity financing.Therefore,in order to reduce the risks brought by financing,investment and financing parties should choose to sign gambling contracts to reduce the risk.In recent years,the use of VAM agreements has become more in China.However,according to incomplete statistics,less than 30%of VAM agreements are successful,and this result is mainly due to the insufficient depth and breadth of research on VAM agreements.Therefore,this article will comprehensively analyze the problems that need to be paid attention to when signing a gambling agreement by introducing the case of Anda Technology,and the issue of targeted risk prevention will also be discussed in this paper.

ESG责任履行对企业风险的影响研究

ESG责任履行是“双碳”目标框架的应有之义,更是企业防范化解金融风险、绿色发展提质增效的必由之路。基于2009—2020年中国A股上市公司样本,构建双重固定模型实证检验了ESG责任履行对企业风险的影响。研究发现:ESG责任履行和企业风险之间存在显著的U形关系,其中该U形关系在社会责任和公司治理维度、非国际“四大”会计师事务所审计的企业和处在成熟期和衰退期的企业中更加显著。进一步研究发现:融资约束和代理冲突在ESG责任履行和企业风险的U形关系中发挥传导作用;同时,分析师关注度和机构投资者持股比例可以负向调节ESG责任履行与企业风险二者之间的U形关系;而ESG评级不确定性和“漂绿”策略会抑制ESG责任履行的风险防治作用。据此,应构建并完善与我国国情相适应的ESG信息披露制度,引导企业适度履行ESG责任,在ESG转型过程中注重内部监管和风险管控,助力经济绿色转型深入推进。

“抱团取暖”可以应对“寒冬”吗? 贸易政策不确定性与企业协同创新 ——来自中美贸易摩擦的经验证据

基于2018年美国政府发起的对华贸易战,运用广义双重差分模型考察贸易政策不确定性对企业协同创新的影响及其作用渠道与经济后果。研究发现:贸易政策不确定性通过加剧融资约束、降低风险承担能力的作用渠道驱动中国企业选择“抱团取暖”,即以“协同创新”的方式谋求技术突破和研发攻关以抵御外部风险。调节效应检验结果发现:当上市公司属于高新技术企业时,贸易政策不确定性对协同创新的驱动效应更为显著;数字化转型为企业间创新要素的聚拢和流动提供了便利,较高的知识产权保护力度降低了企业协同创新中知识被模仿和窃取的风险,因此两者均能够强化贸易政策不确定性对企业协同创新的驱动作用。进一步区分协同创新的主体后发现:当企业面临贸易政策不确定性时,更倾向于选择与供应链上下游企业、高校及科研机构进行协同创新。并且,贸易政策不确定性在促使企业选择协同创新后可显著提升企业未来一期、二期、三期的全要素生产率,从而证实“抱团取暖”的协同创新方式确实能够帮助企业安稳度过“寒冬”。本文丰富了协同创新的驱动机制研究,也为企业在急剧变化的外部贸易环境中以“抱团”方式寻求理性出路提供了参考与借鉴。
