委托代理冲突下的企业投融资决策

采用实物期权与均衡定价理论,研究委托-代理冲突下的企业投融资决策问题.考虑管理者拥有企业投融资决策权时,其如何同时选择投资时机、投资规模及资本结构.分析了管理者持股与项目风险(不确定性)对企业非效率投融资的影响.数值分析表明:给定资本结构下,杠杆企业管理者决策的投资时机与投资规模变化呈现出负相关;对比于纯股权融资企业,杠杆企业管理者加速了投资期权的执行并增大了投资规模;财务杠杆率是管理者持股比例的U形函数,且管理者持股比例的增大,会加速投资期权的执行、增大投资规模与债务融资规模,并降低代理成本;项目风险的增大会导致企业投资时机、投资规模、债务融资规模和代理成本增大及财务杠杆率降低.

负债代理冲突下企业投融资互动行为的实物期权分析

准确分析企业投融资之间的互动关系,实现两种决策的协同,有助于提高企业决策效率和项目价值.通过把项目融资政策内生到投资决策的实物期权模型中,构建基于股东价值最大化和企业价值最大化的投融资决策互动模型,得到两种情形下的投融资决策临界点和期权价值,并借助数值分析负债代理冲突对企业投融资行为的影响.研究结果表明,负债融资既可能引发过度投资问题,也可能抑制投资.这种非效率投资将相应地提高负债融资的成本,对企业的负债融资产生抑制作用.     

私募基金规模、申购赎回机制与动态道德风险

运用动态合约理论与实物期权理论研究了私募基金最优激励相容合约的一般特征,考察了基金规模与申购赎回机制对缓解道德风险的作用。结论表明,私募基金最优激励相容合约由投资人的最大预期收益与管理者的最大预期回报共同决定,且购买私募基金类似于做多一种特殊期权,该期权标的资产价格由管理者后续值度量;投资人为激励管理者努力工作而付出的激励成本随基金初始规模或再申购比例递增,而最优基金规模由其边际激励成本与预期边际业绩决定;赎回成本影响投资人的最大预期收益,但对缓解道德风险不具显著作用;适当的业绩抽成可降低道德风险,且业绩抽成与私募基金初始规模或再申购比例在缓解道德风险方面存在一定的替代性。     

基于代现成本的债务融资结构研究——以我国电力上市公司为例

自上世纪七十年代起，代理理论的研究逐渐成为资本结构理论研究中的热点。本选题选取电力上市公司为样本，对上市公司债权结构进行实证分析，并基于代理成本理论进行研究和探讨，以期找出最优代理成本。研究结果表明：我国电力行业总体水平目前保持在一个较为良好的状态，但债务结构极不合理。对债务融资结构的调整可有效降低代理成本。并据此提出政策建议。

OPTIONS-GAME ANALYSIS FOR FIRM WITH INSURED DEBT

The strategic model for insured bond of firm is a new model which is developed based on options pricing model and game theory. When firm‘s bond was insured against bankruptcy, some interesting results about endogenous bankruptcy and optimal capital structure are obtained.     

The effects of asset liquidity on dynamic sell-out and bankruptcy decisions

We develop a dynamic bankruptcy model with asset illiquidity. In the model, a distressed firm chooses between sell-out and default, as well as its timing under the assumption that sell-out is feasible only at Poisson jump times, where the arrival rate of acquirers stands for asset liquidity. With lower asset liquidity, the firm increases the sell-out region to mitigate the risk of not finding an acquirer until bankruptcy. Despite the larger sell-out region, lower asset liquidity increases the default probability and decreases the equity, debt, and firm values. In the optimal capital structure, with lower asset liquidity, the firm reduces leverage, but the cautious capital structure does not fully offset the increased default risk. The stock price reaction caused by sell-out depends on the sell-out timing. When the firm’s asset value is not sufficiently high, the stock price jump size is an inverted U-shape with the economic state variable. Lower asset liquidity increases the jump size due to greater surprise. These results fit empirical observations.     

Optimal control problem for an insurance surplus model with debt liability

For an insurance company with a debt liability, they could make some management actions, such as reinsurance, paying dividends, and capital injection, to balance the profitability and financial bankruptcy. Our objective is to determine risk retention rate, dividend, and capital injection strategy so as to maximize the expected discounted dividends minus the discounted cost of capital injection until the time of ruin. We assume that the dividend payments and capital injection should occur with both fixed and proportional costs. We obtain explicit expressions of the optimal value functions as well as the corresponding optimal joint strategies by routine procedures in a comprehensive basic model using a new technique to solve the related equations. Our results show that whether recapitalizing is profitable or not depends on the costs of capital raising and that the firm injects capital only when the reserves are zero and recapitalizes to the optimal reserves level if the cost of external capital is low.

Optimal dividends and bankruptcy procedures: Analysis of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process

This paper investigates the impact of bankruptcy procedures on optimal dividend barrier policies. We specifically focus on Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code, which allows a firm in default to continue its business for a certain period of time. Our model is based on the surplus of a firm that earns investment income at a constant rate of credit interest when it is in a creditworthy condition. The firm pays a debit interest rate that depends on the deficit level when it is in financial distress. Thus, the surplus follows an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process with a negative surplus-dependent mean-reverting rate. Default and liquidation are modeled as distinguishable events by using an excursion time or occupation time framework. This paper demonstrates how the optimal dividend barrier can be obtained by deriving a closed-form solution for the dividend value function. It also characterizes the distributional property and expectation of bankruptcy time subject to the bankruptcy procedure. Our numerical examples show that under an optimal dividend barrier strategy, the bankruptcy procedure may not prolong the expected bankruptcy time in some situations.     

Predicting the event and time horizon of bankruptcy using financial ratios and the maturity schedule of long-term debt

We study the problem of simultaneous and coherent assessment the probability of a firm’s bankruptcy at various time horizons in future. In contrast with usual (one-period) formulations of the problem, such multi-period formulation better matches the nature of bankruptcy process (bankruptcy occurs in time) and allows an easier and more natural incorporation of bankruptcy (default) prognoses in valuation of risky debt and equity, optimization of corporate capital structure etc. The study uses a new mathematical apparatus—multi-alternative decision rules of statistical decision theory. We investigate a new type of predictive variables that can be extracted from the maturity schedule of a firm’s long-term debt. The study develops Bayesian-type forecasting rules that use both maturity schedule factors and traditional financial ratios. These rules noticeably enhance bankruptcy prediction (compared with the familiar one-period Z-score rules of Altman) for bankruptcy within the first 1, 2 or 3 years. Predictive factors derived from schedule information enhance bankruptcy prediction at distant time horizons.     

分位数回归方法在资本结构影响因素分析中的应用

传统的OLSE回归只能得到一组系数估计值,因此无法深入分析不同财务杠杆程度下资本结构的影响因素.为此本文尝试着将分位数回归理论引入到回归模型中,通过对我国上市公司的相关数据进行分位数回归分析后发现,不同资产负债率水平下,企业股权结构、企业产生内部资源的能力对资本结构的影响效果不同:低负债率水平下,两者均与债务水平正相关;而高负债率水平下,又均与债务水平负相关.研究还发现,企业的成长性、企业规模以及财务困境成本与债务水平正相关,而盈利能力、非债务税盾则与债务水平负相关。
