We provide a theoretical synthesis on the economic and financial channels that financial openness might affect currency internationalisation. Historical experiences from the UK, the US, Japan and Germany show the essential role played by financial policies to promote one currency’s international status. We collect recent data of a panel of countries to provide an in-depth empirical analysis on how financial openness would affect a currency’s acceptance in international official reserves. We find strong evidence that portfolio positions generally have a larger impact on the currency’s share in international reserves than FDI. Moreover, portfolio positions in the liability side, especially foreign investments in domestic debt securities, have a statistically significant and economically important effect on currency internationalisation. Our results have implications for China, highlighting the specific effects of financial policies on RMB internationalisation.","PeriodicalId":44280,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Studies-EPS","volume":"8 1","pages":"312 - 330"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2020-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20954816.2020.1769897","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45656734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a random sample of 33,669 borrowers who had downloaded peer-to-peer lending platforms prior to submitting loan applications to a well-known fintech company, Du Xiaoman Financial (formerly Baidu Finance), this article evaluates the predictive power of borrowers’ internet behaviours on credit default risk. After controlling for borrowers’ basic characteristics that are widely used in academic research and enterprise practices, the coefficients of key factors selected from 3,100 variables are economically and statistically significant. The average Kolmogorov-Smirnov value of the prediction model calculated using the hold-out method is approximately 37.09%. The results remain robust in several additional analyses. This study indicates the importance of non-credit information, particularly borrowers’ internet behaviours, in supplementing borrowers’ credit records for both fintech companies and banks.","PeriodicalId":44280,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Studies-EPS","volume":"8 1","pages":"482 - 499"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2020-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20954816.2020.1759765","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45586213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing a text analysis method, this study obtains the data on government subsidies for environmental protection of A-share listed companies in China from 2007 to 2016. Empirical estimates show that the subsidies received by companies promote their environmental inputs. Additionally, analyst tracking and internal control enhance the positive effect of subsidies on the companies’ environmental investments. The above results are still valid after testing the Heckman two-stage model and the Propensity-Score-Matching and Difference-in-Difference model. This paper provides evidential support for the effectiveness of government subsidies and explores feasible ways to improve the efficiency of government subsidies based on the corporate governance channels.","PeriodicalId":44280,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Studies-EPS","volume":"9 1","pages":"477 - 496"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2020-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20954816.2020.1760764","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44825783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using an asset–liability model (ALM), we investigate the effects of the pre-2015 and post-2015 limits, as well as no limits, on asset allocations. We also investigate the likely effect on investment performance of transferring the pillar 1B funds to the Council of National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and raising the retirement age to 65. We find that an ALM is superior to an assets-only analysis, and removing the limits on investment in domestic assets (but not foreign assets) would be beneficial, as would transferring the assets to the NSSF and raising the retirement age. Finally, the official notional rate on individual accounts should be set at a realistic level.","PeriodicalId":44280,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Studies-EPS","volume":"9 1","pages":"186 - 216"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2020-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44808207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, we compare the driving forces of the impact through componential dimensions, and discuss the different function channels that digital financial capabilities affect business ownership and business innovation.

Using conventional -tests and non-parametric Mann–Whitney tests, we empirically analyse daily return data from stock markets in the People’s Republic of China, Italy, South Korea, France, Spain, Germany, Japan and the United States of America. Our empirical results show that (i) COVID-19 has a negative but short-term impact on stock markets of affected countries and that (ii) the impact of COVID-19 on stock markets has bidirectional spill-over effects between Asian countries and European and American countries. However, there is no evidence that COVID-19 negatively affects these countries’ stock markets more than it does the global average. The findings contribute to the research on economic impact of the pandemic by providing empirical evidence that COVID-19 has spill-over effects on stock markets of other countries. The results also provide a basis for assessing trends in international stock markets when the situation is alleviated worldwide.","PeriodicalId":44280,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Studies-EPS","volume":"8 1","pages":"275 - 288"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48060716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
