基于内生信息的股票发售机制比较研究

本文在内生信息成本的基础上，通过引入投资银行的信息成本函数，考察了国际上主要股票发售机制的内在机理，并用一个统一的框架比较了各种发售机制的差异及演进趋势。本研究表明，在投资银行和投资者信息成本相同的情况下，由于固定价格发售机制须用额外的折价去解决投资者之间的信息问题，因而相对于累计投标询价制是一种处于劣势的机制选择。同时指出，具有信息成本优势的机构投资者的出现和发展，是固定价格发行向询价发行过渡的一个必要条件。

Seasonality and idiosyncratic risk in mutual fund performance

This paper examines the relationship between seasonality, idiosyncratic risk and mutual fund returns using multifactor models. We use a large sample containing the return histories of 728 UK mutual funds over a 23-year period to measure fund performance. We present evidence that idiosyncratic risk cannot be eliminated, we also find evidence of seasonality in all fund categories. Specifically, we find a close relation between the seasonality and the end of the tax-year. We document that the idiosyncratic risk puzzle cannot explain seasonality in fund performance in the UK. Although, we do find that idiosyncratic risk can account for the seasonality in the month of April. Thus, the results show a link between the tax-loss selling hypothesis in April and idiosyncratic risk in that month. Finally, we report evidence that idiosyncratic risk is negatively related to expected returns for most fund classes.     

Pricing a stochastic car value depreciation deal

This paper deals with pricing a contract under which a dealer buys back a car from a client, for a cash amount contained in a given depreciation table. The value of the car is supposed to depreciate according to a stochastic model with random repairs modeled by a Poisson process. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Contract and product quality in platform selling

More and more e-tailers (platforms) are allowing manufacturers direct access to customers. Two common contracts are offered by platforms to manufacturers: the revenue sharing contract where a platform appropriates a portion of the manufacturer’s revenue, and the fixed fee contract where a platform charges a fixed rent for each sale. Using an analytical model, this paper studies the interrelationship between a platform’s contract choice and a manufacturer’s product quality decision. We find that if product quality is exogenously given, the platform will always adopt the revenue sharing contract. If the manufacturer endogenously decides the quality, however, the platform’s contract choice may be changed. This is because the revenue sharing contract, compared to fixed fee, leads to a lower selling price of the manufacturer, whereas the fixed fee contract can motivate a higher quality than does revenue sharing. As a result, a large (small) market heterogeneity induces the platform to adopt the revenue sharing (fixed fee) contract. We also extend the model to several directions, finding that longer product line, manufacturer competition, lower marginal production cost, and higher platform cost all tend to induce the platform to put forward a fixed fee contract; while if quality decision is less flexible than contract decision, the platform is more ready to embrace revenue sharing. Besides, when there are two platforms competing for the same market, they should differentiate their contract choices so as to mitigate competition.     

不透明销售的顾客退货政策选择

本文探讨从事不透明销售的零售商对顾客退货政策的选择问题。分别针对零售商垄断和竞争两种市场情况,建立不透明零售商与其它供应链成员(制造商或普通零售商)之间的博弈模型,获得唯一均衡解;对均衡结果进行结构化分析,给出不透明销售方式下采用全额退款政策的判别条件;针对均衡结果,分析零售商垄断情况下产品不透明参数的最优设计,以及零售商竞争情况下的市场分化情况;鉴于净残值参数在退货政策选择中的决定性作用,本文进一步探讨了净残值为正时全额退款政策对各参与方利润及产品需求和价格的影响,分析了净残值在其中的作用机理。本研究能够为不透明零售商制定退货政策和价格以及其它供应链成员制定相关决策提供支持。     

考虑预付定金和退货的SMPEs产品定价与优化策略

借鉴中小制造型企业(SMPEs)在线渠道预售模式,考虑市场中存在预付订金和不预付订金的顾客,并将其退货情况引入到生产商利润表达式中,构建确定性和随机性市场需求下的SMPEs产品销售利润最大化模型,推导生产商产品最优定价的解析解;对比两种销售模式的利润,得到了生产商选择不同销售策略的条件。进一步考虑预付定金的产品数量、预交定金比例、退货数量是关于价格折扣敏感的情况,采用拉格朗日乘子法对生产商产品定价及优化问题进行研究,分析求得生产商销售策略(产品定价和价格折扣)的近似最优解。最后,通过数值算例对研究结论进行了验证并给出经济学解释。     

考虑破产控制的多期模糊资产-负债组合优化模型

在实际的投资决策过程中,一些投资者需要同时管理资产和负债,因此本文研究考虑破产控制和偿债行为的资产-负债管理问题。假设风险资产的收益率和负债的增长率为模糊数,用资产-负债组合的可能性期望和下半绝对偏差度量其收益和风险,以最大化最终期望净财富和最小化最终累积风险为目标,建立了允许限制性卖空的多期模糊资产-负债组合优化模型。然后,设计了一个基于粒子群算法和模拟退火算法的混合智能算法对模型进行求解。最后,通过实例分析说明了所设计算法与传统粒子群算法相比具有更好的优化性能和稳定性。本文所提出策略可以为需要同时管理资产和负债的投资者提供决策支持。

An EOQ model for perishable products with discounted selling price and stock dependent demand

A single item economic order quantity model is considered in which the demand is stock dependent. After a certain time the product starts to deteriorate and due to visualization effect and other aspects of deterioration the demand becomes constant. In that situation a discount on selling price provides significant increment in demand rate. In this paper we investigate how much discount on selling price may be given during deterioration to maximize the profit per unit time and whether a pre-deterioration discount affects the unit profit or not. A mathematical model is developed incorporating both pre- and post deterioration discounts on unit selling price, where analytical results reveal some important characteristics of discount structure. A numerical example is presented and sensitivity analysis of the model is carried out.
