These companies have high averages in current liquidity, return to shareholders, growth in sales and assets and market-to-book (MTB). Long-term debt was highlighted with an explanatory power of 85%. Current liquidity was highlighted as being significant in most of the indebtedness proposed in the survey, failing to register brands like this in expensive short-term and long-term indebtedness. It is noticed that flip flops companies are more prone to the pecking order theory (POT). The gap occupied by this study is linked to research involving South American countries, especially the Chilean market, and the determinants of the capital structure.Originality/valueAs future research, it is suggested to include other types of variables related to indebtedness and the same action for its determinants, in addition to the speed technique of adjusting corporate debts.","PeriodicalId":53491,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics, Finance and Administrative Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90815075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the VaR is estimated using the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity, EGARCH and GJR-GARCH models under normal, skewed-normal, Student-t and skewed-Student-t distributional assumptions and compared with the predictive performance of the Conditional Autoregressive Value-at-Risk (CaViaR) considering the four alternative specifications proposed by Engle and Manganelli (2004).FindingsThe results support the robustness of the CaViaR model in out-sample VaR forecasting for the MILA and ASEAN-5 emerging stock markets in crisis periods. This evidence is based on the results of the backtesting approach that analyzed the predictive performance of the models according to their accuracy.Originality/valueAn important issue in market risk is the inaccurate estimation of risk since different VaR models lead to different risk measures, which means that there is not yet an accepted method for all situations and markets. In particular, quantifying and forecasting the risk for the MILA and ASEAN-5 stock markets is crucial for evaluating global market risk since the MILA is the biggest stock exchange in Latin America and the ASEAN region accounted for 11% of the total global foreign direct investment inflows in 2014. Furthermore, according to the Asian Development Bank, this region is projected to average 7% annual growth by 2025.","PeriodicalId":53491,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics, Finance and Administrative Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80810158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Xiaoping","doi":"10.16538/J.CNKI.JFE.20210813.401","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.16538/J.CNKI.JFE.20210813.401","url":null,"abstract":"Since the housing system reform in 1998, China’s commercial housing prices have risen rapidly, and far exceeded the affordability of commonality. In order to solve the housing problems of middle and low income families, China launched the construction of affordable housing, which has greatly improved people’s livelihood and social welfare. The impact of affordable housing supply on the real estate market is also related to the interests of social groups. How to understand the relationship between the two types of housing has become an important reference for building an internally coordinated and efficient housing supply system.Combined with China’s special housing security and land system, this study theoretically analyzes the possible impact of affordable housing supply on the commercial housing market by constructing the equilibrium model of supply and demand. Based on the panel data of 248 prefecture-level cities in China from 2007 to 2016, the FEM and IV models are used to test the theoretical hypothesis, and the mechanism and heterogeneity are further discussed.The results show that: In the statistical sense, we find that affordable housing crowds out commercial housing supply through the competitive allocation of land, but it cannot replace demand in the segmented housing market, which eventually raises housing prices. Furthermore, the crowding-out effect is more obvious in the regions with low land financial dependence. But the economic meaning of empirical results is weak, and the crowding-out effect and the impact of housing prices can be ignored. This means that the supply of affordable housing basically does not harm the welfare of other groups.In general, this study has strong policy implications. On the one hand, China should establish multi-agent supply channels. Collective construction land and idle land owned by enterprises can be used to build affordable housing to ensure the independence of the land supply mechanism. On the other hand, some cities can gradually relax the access restrictions on affordable housing according to the actual situation. They can provide talent housing for college graduates and professional and technical personnel, and provide affordable rental housing for urban “new citizens” and migrant workers, so as to effectively divert the demand for commercial housing and stabilize the price of commercial housing.","PeriodicalId":53491,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics, Finance and Administrative Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80737382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wei, Su Fang","doi":"10.16538/J.CNKI.JFE.20210825.102","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.16538/J.CNKI.JFE.20210825.102","url":null,"abstract":"Establishing a long-term care insurance (LTCI) system covering the whole people and balancing urban and rural areas is an important strategic plan for China to deal with the aging and disability of the population. Since the establishment of the LTCI system at the national level in 2016, China has 49 pilot areas for LTCI by 2020. Each pilot area is seriously fragmented, and the financing model of LTCI has not yet been finalized. So what is the financing model of LTCI that suits China’s national conditions? In addition, different financing models have their own advantages and disadvantages. The optimal financing model may depend on economic, social and demographic factors. Since the fund funded system does not have the function of mutual assistance in social insurance, this paper limits the financing model of LTCI between the pay-as-you-go system and the mixed system. Which one is optimal for the long-term sustainable development of China’s LTCI? Starting from the evolutionary law of the health status of elderly individuals, this paper explores the operation of China’s LTCI system under different financing models.This paper uses multi-period micro-tracking survey data, through the continuous time homogeneous Markov process and the generalized linear model, to describe the movement law of the health status transition of the elderly in China, and combines the seven census data and the age shift algorithm to calculate the size and structure of the disabled elderly population from 2020 to 2040. Further, based on the social insurance actuarial balance theory, a dynamic actuarial model under the pay-as-you-go system and three mixed systems is constructed to simulate the equilibrium premium rate and payment amount of LTCI for urban employees and urban and rural residents in the next 20 years. The study finds that, in terms of the size of disabled population, the female elderly are the main body of disabled population; the scale of disabled population in urban areas is significantly higher than that in rural areas. The main reason is that rural-urban migration has made urban elderly population larger, and the urban disability rate is higher than that in rural areas. In addition, in terms of funding pressure, the study shows that at any time and under any financing model, the relative payment pressure of LTCI for urban employees is significantly lower than that of urban and rural residents, but the absolute payment pressure is slightly higher than that of urban and rural residents. Finally, in terms of the selection of financing models, this paper believes that LTCI for urban employees should adopt a mixed system, and LTCI for urban and rural residents should adopt a pay-as-you-go system.The contribution of this paper is mainly reflected in two aspects: First, at the level of empirical research, it combines macro and micro data to describe the evolution of the health status of the elderly from the micro level, predicts the size of disabled population in Chi","PeriodicalId":53491,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics, Finance and Administrative Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72665538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially in recent years, governments have continuously deepened the supply-side structural reform, promoted the “three removal, one reduction and one compensation”, and regarded the “removal of production capacity” as one of the important tasks to achieve high-quality economic development. However, the overcapacity of Chinese enterprises has not been fundamentally solved, which has become a deep-seated problem hindering the sustainable development of China’s economy. Therefore, identifying the key factors affecting the improvement of capacity utilization of Chinese enterprises and exploring the path of optimizing enterprise capacity decision-making are still an important issue worthy of attention.In recent years, accelerating the regional coordinated development and building a unified domestic market have gradually attracted extensive attention. Governments have successively issued a variety of measures to eliminate local protectionism and market segmentation to promote regional market integration. At the same time, they have accelerated the construction of transportation infrastructure such as high-speed railway and improved the interconnection between different regions. China’s domestic market is undergoing an important transformation from segmentation and fragmentation to integration. In the continuously integrated domestic market, the market space of enterprise products is broader, and the efficiency of resource allocation is improved, which will have an important impact on enterprise capacity decision-making and capacity utilization.From the perspectives of market demand effect and resource allocation effect, this paper investigates the impact of regional market integration on enterprise capacity utilization, and empirically analyzes the effect by using the micro data of Chinese industrial enterprises. It is found that regional market integration significantly improves the capacity utilization of enterprises. Regional market integration not only improves the market demand of enterprise products, but also promotes the effective supply of factors and the optimal allocation of resources, which has a positive effect on the improvement of enterprise capacity utilization. Enterprises with high tax base and high employment contribution and state-owned enterprises are more sensitive to regional market integration; the effect of regional market integration on the capacity utilization of enterprises in heavy industry sector is also higher than that in light industry sector; regional market integration significantly improves the capacity utilization of enterprises in the central and western regions, while the effect in the east","PeriodicalId":53491,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics, Finance and Administrative Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76743516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Starting from this thread, based on historical materials, this paper investigates the historical experience and governing logic formed by the CPC in this process, and extracts its unique advantages from the perspective of Marxism, which is of great significance to study the CPC’s positioning and role in financial governing and even the national governance system. However, the existing research lacks the combing and analysis of the CPC’s financial governance practice and logic, and there is little overall and systematic understanding of the CPC’s role in coordinating the relationship between the government and the market. By combing the historical sources of the CPC’s centennial financial governance, this paper examines the unique role and advantages of the CPC in this process, and makes an academic study of this historical experience and governing logic from the perspective of Marxism, forming a ternary relationship framework of the CPC, the government and the market. The research finds that: (1) Financial governance under the leadership of the CPC not only realizes the transformation of financial support for the real economy from individualization and decentralization to collectivization, scale and even integration, but also deepens the recognition of aspect of security from party security, sovereign security to economic security and even overall national security. (2) The deepening of the understanding of “development and security” stems from the advantages of strategic stability, power regulation capability and political mobilization brought by the CPC’s fundamental ideological orientation, strategic goal orientation and core interest orientation. This makes the CPC’s leadership a long-term strategic leadership on the basis of clarifying the power boundary with the two main bodies of the government and the market, forming a unique governance advantage. (3) The unique governance advantage of the CPC promotes the improvement of national governance efficiency through two power paths. That is, the CPC’s strategic stability advantage ensures the continuity and stability of the government’s decision-making, and the advantages of power regulation ability and political mobilization ability enable the CPC to play a role in guiding and balancing interests between the government and the market. The research contribution mainly lies in three aspects: First, this paper analyzes the CPC’s unique advantages from the perspective of financial governance, which is a further enrichment of the existing research.
