Earnings Management of Chinese Listed Multinational Corporations

This study evaluates the quality of accounting information provided by Chinese multinational corporations(MNCs)in relation to the issue of earnings management.Using a combined dataset of outward foreign direct investment and financial statements by Chinese firms publicly listed on A-share markets between 2012 and 2017,we investigate whether Chinese MNCs are more inclined to manage earnings.We discover that these firms exhibited significant earnings management behavior and typically adjusted their earnings downward.We demonstrate that these effects were more pronounced among private MNCs than state-owned firms,and in host countries with weaker institutional quality.Further research reveals that after delaying the confirmation of current earnings,Chinese MNCs received higher government subsidies,and this pattern was particularly prevalent among private MNCs.We find no evidence that Chinese MNCs manipulated earnings to avoid paying taxes.

Multinational corporations and infectious disease: Embracing human rights management techniques

Background:Global health institutions have called for governments,international organisations and health practitioners to employ a human rights-based approach to infectious diseases.The motivation for a human rights approach is clear:poverty and inequality create conditions for infectious diseases to thrive,and the diseases,in turn,interact with social-ecological systems to promulgate poverty,inequity and indignity.Governments and intergovernmental organisations should be concerned with the control and elimination of these diseases,as widespread infections delay economic growth and contribute to higher healthcare costs and slower processes for realising universal human rights.These social determinants and economic outcomes associated with infectious diseases should interest multinational companies,partly because they have bearing on corporate productivity and,increasingly,because new global norms impose on companies a responsibility to respect human rights,including the right to health.Methods:We reviewed historical and recent developments at the interface of infectious diseases,human rights and multinational corporations.Our investigation was supplemented with field-level insights at corporate capital projects that were developed in areas of high endemicity of infectious diseases,which embraced rights-based disease control strategies.Results:Experience and literature provide a longstanding business case and an emerging social responsibility case for corporations to apply a human rights approach to health programmes at global operations.Indeed,in an increasingly globalised and interconnected world,multinational corporations have an interest,and an important role to play,in advancing rights-based control strategies for infectious diseases.Conclusions:There are new opportunities for governments and international health agencies to enlist corporate business actors in disease control and elimination strategies.Guidance offered by the United Nations in 2011 that is widely embraced by companies,governments and civil society provides a roadmap for engaging business enterprises in rights-based disease management strategies to mitigate disease transmission rates and improve human welfare outcomes.

The Reforming Logic of State-owned Enterprise Corporate Governance:Proceeding from National Governance to Corporate Governance

The top-level design of national governance plays a leading role in reforming the corporate governance of state-owned enterprises(SOEs)at the micro level.Following the overall objectives of comprehensively deepening reforms,this paper argues that the objective of SOEs corporate governance reform at this stage should be to improve and develop the SOEs corporate governance system with Chinese characteristics and modernize SOEs corporate governance system and governance capacity.To achieve this ambitious objective,this paper considers the theory of SOEs corporate governance with Chinese characteristics,and then explores the concrete manifestation and implementation pathway to the modernization of SOEs corporate governance system and governance capacity.This paper thus enriches the theory of corporate governance and provides insights into the newera SOEs corporate governance reform.

Advancing Direct Corporate Accountability in International Human Rights Law:The Role of State-Owned Enterprises

Resorting to the immensely state-centric international legal system to regulate corporate human rights abuses is often viewed as inadequate.Among many proposals aiming at filling the international regulatory gaps,imposing international human rights obligations directly on corporations is a bold one,which,due to profound doctrinal and practical challenges,is yet to be materialized.However,state-owned enterprises(SOEs),given their prima facie''state-business nexus"that blurs the traditional public-private divide,might provide a renewed opportunity to push forward the"direct international corporate accountability^^campaign.This study investigates whether SOEs represent a golden chance for direct corporate accountability in the international legal regime.This study provides a legal analysis supported by case law,and by comparative and empirical research when appropriate.After providing a definitional account of SOEs,it examines the legal status of SOEs under international law.Then,in the reverse direction,it proceeds to explore if the state-business nexus of SOEs as non-state actors could render the argument toward direct international corporation accountability more convincing.Major findings reveal that SOEs,to a limited extent,represent a renewed opportunity to rethink direct corporate accountability under international law.

公司社会责任、跨国企业与东道国政府的作用--来自中国地方案例的证据

随着公司社会责任逐步成为中国政府的重要议事日程,通过各种监督和促进手段来引导跨国企业承担相应的社会责任日益受到社会的广泛关注。发达国家与发展中国家的经验表明,政府在规制跨国公司承担社会责任方面发挥了重要作用。当前在中国虽然已经建立了约束与规范公司社会责任的初步法律法规体系,但尚显不完整、不深入和不成熟,这也就决定了绝大多数在华跨国企业尽管能够在法律约束的范围内承担社会责任,但其实践行为还处在初级阶段。我们对天津经济技术开发区跨国企业的调研分析证实了这一结论,同时也启示地方政府在促进跨国企业承担社会责任方面所承担的公共信息与服务作用。

基于知识嵌入性的跨国公司知识转移管理--理论模型与实证分析

为揭示知识嵌入特性对跨国公司知识转移结果的影响及其对知识转移活动的选择适应性,所构建的知识转移管理路径模型包含了知识嵌入性、转移活动和转移结果。使用跨国公司在华子公司的样本数据,通过结构方程模型进行假设验证。实证研究显示,知识的人员、惯例嵌入特性和初级、高级知识转移活动可显著推动知识跨国转移;高级转移活动是人员、惯例和复合嵌入类知识转移的有效中介,而初级转移活动只对人员嵌入有中介作用。同时发现初级转移活动适应人员嵌入而排斥惯例嵌入知识,高级转移活动对人员、惯例与复合嵌入知识都表现出了良好的选择适应性。
