托马斯国际金融课后习题答案解析

托马斯国际金融课后习题答案解析

Suggested answers to questions and problems(in the textbook)Chapter 22. Disagree, at least as a general statement. One meaning of a current account surplusis that the country is exporting more goods and services than it is importing. Onemight easily judge that this is not good—the country is producing goods andservices that are exported, but the country is not at the same time getting theimports of goods and services that would allow it do more consumption anddomestic investment. In this way a current account deficit might be consideredgood—the extra imports allow the country to consume and invest domesticallymore than the value of its current production. Another meaning of a current account surplus is that the country is engaging in foreign financial investment—it is building up its claims on foreigners, and this adds to national wealth. This sounds good, but as noted above it comes at the cost of foregoing current domestic purchases ofgoods and services. A current account deficit is the country running down its claims on foreigners or increasing its indebtedness to foreigners. This sounds bad, but itcomes with the benefit of higher levels of current domestic expenditure. Differentcountries at different times may weigh the balance of these costs and benefitsdifferently, so that we cannot simply say that a current account surplus is better thana current account deficit.4. Disagree. If the country has a surplus (a positive value) for its official settlementsbalance, then the value for its official reserves balance must be a negative value of the same amount (so that the two add to zero). A negative value for this asset item means that funds are flowing out in order for the country to acquire more of these kinds of assets. Thus, the country is increasing its holdings of official reserve assets.6. Item e is a transaction in which foreign official holdings of U.S. assets increase. This isa positive (credit) item for official reserve assets and a negative (debit) item forprivate capital flows as the U.S. bank acquires pound bank deposits. The debit item contributes to a U.S. deficit in the official settlements balance (while the credit item is recorded "below the line," permitting the official settlements balance to be indeficit). All other transactions involve debit and credit items both of which areincluded in the official settlements balance, so that they do not directly contribute toa deficit (or surplus) in the official settlements balance.8. a. Merchandise trade balance: $330 - 198 = $132Goods and services balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 = $124Current account balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 + 3 - 8 = $119Official settlements balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 + 3 - 8 + 102 - 202 + 4 = $23b. Change in official reserve assets (net) = - official settlements balance = -$23.The country is increasing its net holdings of official reserve assets.10. a. International investment position (billions): $30 + 20 + 15 - 40 - 25 = $0.The country is neither an international creditor nor a debtor. Its holding ofinternational assets equals its liabilities to foreigners.b. A current account surplus permits the country to add to its net claims onforeigners. For this reason the country's international investment position willbecome a positive value. The flow increase in net foreign assets results in the stock of net foreign assets becoming positive.Chapter 32. Exports of merchandise and services result in supply of foreign currency in theforeign exchange market. Domestic sellers often want to be paid using domesticcurrency, while the foreign buyers want to pay in their currency. In the process ofpaying for these exports, foreign currency is exchanged for domestic currency,creating supply of foreign currency. International capital inflows result in a supply of foreign currency in the foreign exchange market. In making investments in domestic financial assets, foreign investors often start with foreign currency and mustexchange it for domestic currency before they can buy the domestic assets. Theexchange creates a supply of foreign currency. Sales of foreign financial assets that the country's residents had previously acquired, and borrowing from foreigners by this country's residents are other forms of capital inflow that can create supply offoreign currency.4. The U.S. firm obtains a quotation from its bank on the spot exchange rate for buyingyen with dollars. If the rate is acceptable, the firm instructs its bank that it wants to use dollars from its dollar checking account to buy 1 million yen at this spotexchange rate. It also instructs its bank to send the yen to the bank account of the Japanese firm. To carry out this instruction, the U.S. bank instructs its correspondent bank in Japan to take 1 million yen from its account at the correspondent bank and transfer the yen to the bank account of the Japanese firm. (The U.S. bank could also use yen at its own branch if it has a branch in Japan.)6. The trader would seek out the best quoted spot rate for buying euros with dollars,either through direct contact with traders at other banks or by using the services of a foreign exchange broker. The trader would use the best rate to buy euro spot.Sometime in the next hour or so (or, typically at least by the end of the day), thetrader will enter the interbank market again, to obtain the best quoted spot rate for selling euros for dollars. The trader will use the best spot rate to sell her previously acquired euros. If the spot value of the euro has risen during this short time, thetrader makes a profit.8. a. The cross rate between the yen and the krone is too high (the yen value of the kroneis too high) relative to the dollar-foreign currency exchange rates. Thus, in aprofitable triangular arbitrage, you want to sell kroner at the high cross rate. Thearbitrage will be: Use dollars to buy kroner at $0.20/krone, use these kroner to buy yen at 25 yen/krone, and use the yen to buy dollars at $0.01/yen. For each dollarthat you sell initially, you can obtain 5 kroner, these 5 kroner can obtain 125 yen,and the 125 yen can obtain $1.25. The arbitrage profit for each dollar is therefore 25 cents.b. Selling kroner to buy yen puts downward pressure on the cross rate (the yenprice of krone). The value of the cross rate must fall to 20 (=0.20/0.01) yen/krone to eliminate the opportunity for triangular arbitrage, assuming that the dollar exchange rates are unchanged.10. a. The increase in supply of Swiss francs puts downward pressure on theexchange-rate value ($/SFr) of the franc. The monetary authorities must intervene to defend the fixed exchange rate by buying SFr and selling dollars.b. The increase in supply of francs puts downward pressure on the exchange-ratevalue ($/SFr) of the franc. The monetary authorities must intervene to defend thefixed exchange rate by buying SFr and selling dollars.c. The increase in supply of francs puts downward pressure on the exchange-ratevalue ($/SFr) of the franc. The monetary authorities must intervene to defend thefixed exchange rate by buying SFr and selling dollars.d. The decrease in demand for francs puts downward pressure on theexchange-rate value ($/SFr) of the franc. The monetary authorities must intervene to defend the fixed exchange rate by buying SFr and selling dollars.Chapter 42. You will need data on four market rates: The current interest rate (or yield) on bondsissued by the U.S. government that mature in one year, the current interest rate (or yield) on bonds issued by the British government that mature in one year, thecurrent spot exchange rate between the dollar and pound, and the current one-year forward exchange rate between the dollar and pound. Do these rates result in acovered interest differential that is very close to zero?4. a. The U.S. firm has an asset position in yen—it has a long position in yen. To hedge itsexposure to exchange rate risk, the firm should enter into a forward exchangecontract now in which the firm commits to sell yen and receive dollars at the current forward rate. The contract amounts are to sell 1 million yen and receive $9,000, both in 60 days.b. The student has an asset position in yen—a long position in yen. To hedge theexposure to exchange rate risk, the student should enter into a forward exchangecontract now in which the student commits to sell yen and receive dollars at thecurrent forward rate. The contract amounts are to sell 10 million yen and receive$90,000, both in 60 days.c. The U.S. firm has an liability position in yen—a short position in yen. To hedge itsexposure to exchange rate risk, the firm should enter into a forward exchangecontract now in which the firm commits to sell dollars and receive yen at the current forward rate. The contract amounts are to sell $900,000 and receive 100 million yen, both in 60 days.6. Relative to your expected spot value of the euro in 90 days ($1.22/euro), the currentforward rate of the euro ($1.18/euro) is low—the forward value of the euro isrelatively low. Using the principle of "buy low, sell high," you can speculate byentering into a forward contract now to buy euros at $1.18/euro. If you are correct in your expectation, then in 90 days you will be able to immediately resell those euros for $1.22/euro, pocketing a profit of $0.04 for each euro that you bought forward. If many people speculate in this way, then massive purchases now of euros forward(increasing the demand for euros forward) will tend to drive up the forward value of the euro, toward a current forward rate of $1.22/euro.8. a. The Swiss franc is at a forward premium. Its current forward value ($0.505/SFr) isgreater than its current spot value ($0.500/SFr).b. The covered interest differential "in favor of Switzerland" is ((1 + 0.005) (0.505) /0.500) - (1 + 0.01) = 0.005. (Note that the interest rate used must match the timeperiod of the investment.) There is a covered interest differential of 0.5% for 30 days(6 percent at an annual rate). The U.S. investor can make a higher return, coveredagainst exchange rate risk, by investing in SFr-denominated bonds, so presumably the investor should make this covered investment. Although the interest rate onSFr-denominated bonds is lower than the interest rate on dollar-denominatedbonds, the forward premium on the franc is larger than this difference, so that thecovered investment is a good idea.c. The lack of demand for dollar-denominated bonds (or the supply of these bondsas investors sell them in order to shift into SFr-denominated bonds) puts downward pressure on the prices of U.S. bonds—upward pressure on U.S. interest rates. Theextra demand for the franc in the spot exchange market (as investors buy SFr inorder to buy SFr-denominated bonds) puts upward pressure on the spot exchange rate. The extra demand for SFr-denominated bonds puts upward pressure on theprices of Swiss bonds—downward pressure on Swiss interest rates. The extra supply of francs in the forward market (as U.S. investors cover their SFr investments backinto dollars) puts downward pressure on the forward exchange rate. If the only rate that changes is the forward exchange rate, this rate must fall to about $0.5025/SFr.With this forward rate and the other initial rates, the covered interest differential is close to zero.10. In testing covered interest parity, all of the interest rates and exchange rates that areneeded to calculate the covered interest differential are rates that can observed inthe bond and foreign exchange markets. Determining whether the covered interest differential is about zero (covered interest parity) is then straightforward (although some more subtle issues regarding timing of transactions may also need to beaddressed). In order to test uncovered interest parity, we need to know not onlythree rates—two interest rates and the current spot exchange rate—that can beobserved in the market, but also one rate—the expected future spot exchangerate—that is not observed in any market. The tester then needs a way to find outabout investors' expectations. One way is to ask them, using a survey, but they may not say exactly what they really think. Another way is to examine the actualuncovered interest differential after we know what the future spot exchange rateactually turns out to be, and see whether the statistical characteristics of the actualuncovered differential are consistent with an expected uncovered differential ofabout zero (uncovered interest parity).Chapter 52. a. The euro is expected to appreciate at an annual rate of approximately ((1.005 -1.000)/1.000)⋅(360/180)⋅100 = 1%. The expected uncovered interest differential isapproximately 3% + 1% - 4% = 0, so uncovered interest parity holds (approximately).b. If the interest rate on 180-day dollar-denominated bonds declines to 3%, then thespot exchange rate is likely to increase—the euro will appreciate, the dollardepreciate. At the initial current spot exchange rate, the initial expected future spot exchange rate, and the initial euro interest rate, the expected uncovered interestdifferential shifts in favor of investing in euro-denominated bonds (the expecteduncovered differential is now positive, 3% + 1% - 3% = 1%, favoring uncoveredinvestment in euro-denominated bonds. The increased demand for euros in thespot exchange market tends to appreciate the euro. If the euro interest rate and the expected future spot exchange rate remain unchanged, then the current spot ratemust change immediately to be $1.005/euro, to reestablish uncovered interestparity. When the current spot rate jumps to this value, the euro's exchange ratevalue is not expected to change in value subsequently during the next 180 days. The dollar has depreciated immediately, and the uncovered differential then again iszero (3% + 0% - 3% = 0).4. a. For uncovered interest parity to hold, investors must expect that the rate of changein the spot exchange-rate value of the yen equals the interest rate differential, which is zero. Investors must expect that the future spot value is the same as the currentspot value, $0.01/yen.b. If investors expect that the exchange rate will be $0.0095/yen, then they expect theyen to depreciate from its initial spot value during the next 90 days. Given the other rates, investors tend to shift their investments toward dollar-denominatedinvestments. The extra supply of yen (and demand for dollars) in the spot exchange market results in a decrease in the current spot value of the yen (the dollarappreciates). The shift to expecting that the yen will depreciate (the dollarappreciate) sometime during the next 90 days tends to cause the yen to depreciate (the dollar to appreciate) immediately in the current spot market.6. The law of one price will hold better for gold. Gold can be traded easily so that anyprice differences would lead to arbitrage that would tend to push gold prices (stated in a common currency by converting prices using market exchange rates) back close to equality. Big Macs cannot be arbitraged. If price differences exist, there is noarbitrage pressure, so the price differences can persist. The prices of Big Macs(stated in a common currency) vary widely around the world.8. According to PPP, the exchange rate value of the DM (relative to the dollar) has risensince the early 1970s because Germany has experienced less inflation than has the United States—the product price level has risen less in Germany since the early1970s than it has risen in the United States. According to the monetary approach,the German price level has not risen as much because the German money supplyhas increased less than the money supply has increased in the United States, relative to the growth rates of real domestic production in the two countries. The Britishpound is the opposite case—more inflation in Britain than in the United States, and higher money growth in Britain.10. a. Because the growth rate of the domestic money supply (M s) is two percentagepoints higher than it was previously, the monetary approach indicates that theexchange rate value (e) of the foreign currency will be higher than it otherwisewould be—that is, the exchange rate value of the country's currency will be lower.Specifically, the foreign currency will appreciate by two percentage points more per year, or depreciate by two percentage points less. That is, the domestic currency will depreciate by two percentage points more per year, or appreciate by twopercentage points less.b. The faster growth of the country's money supply eventually leads to a faster rate ofinflation of the domestic price level (P). Specifically, the inflation rate will be twopercentage points higher than it otherwise would be. According to relative PPP, afaster rate of increase in the domestic price level (P) leads to a higher rate ofappreciation of the foreign currency.12. a. For the United States in 1975, 20,000 = k⋅100⋅800, or k = 0.25.For Pugelovia in 1975, 10,000 = k⋅100⋅200, or k = 0.5.b. For the United States, the quantity theory of money with a constant k meansthat the quantity equation with k = 0.25 should hold in 2002: 65,000 =0.25⋅260⋅1,000. It does. Because the quantity equation holds for both years with thesame k, the change in the price level from 1975 to 2002 is consistent with thequantity theory of money with a constant k. Similarly, for Pugelovia, the quantityequation with k = 0.5 should hold for 2002, and it does (58,500 = 0.5⋅390⋅300).14.a. The tightening typically leads to an immediate increase in the country's interestrates. In addition, the tightening probably also results in investors' expecting that the exchange-rate value of the country's currency is likely to be higher in the future. The higher expected exchange-rate value for the currency is based on the expectation that the country's price level will be lower in the future, and PPP indicates that thecurrency will then be stronger. For both of these reasons, international investors will shift toward investing in this country's bonds. The increase in demand for thecountry's currency in the spot exchange market causes the current exchange-ratevalue of the currency to increase. The currency may appreciate a lot because thecurrent exchange rate must "overshoot" its expected future spot value. Uncovered interest parity is reestablished with a higher interest rate and a subsequent expected depreciation of the currency.b. If everything else is rather steady, the exchange rate (the domestic currency priceof foreign currency) is likely to decrease quickly by a large amount. After this jump, the exchange rate may then increase gradually toward its long-run value—the value consistent with PPP in the long run.Chapter 62. We often use the term pegged exchange rate to refer to a fixed exchange rate,because fixed rates generally are not fixed forever. An adjustable peg is an exchange rate policy in which the "fixed" exchange rate value of a currency can be changedfrom time to time, but usually it is changed rather seldom (for instance, not morethan once every several years). A crawling peg is an exchange rate policy in whichthe "fixed" exchange rate value of a currency is changed often (for instance, weekly or monthly), sometimes according to indicators such as the difference in inflationrates.4. Disagree. If a country is expected to impose exchange controls, which usually makeit more difficult to move funds out of the country in the future, investors are likely to try to shift funds out of the country now before the controls are imposed. Theincrease in supply of domestic currency into the foreign exchange market (orincrease in demand for foreign currency) puts downward pressure on the exchange rate value of the country's currency—the currency tends to depreciate.6. a. The market is attempting to depreciate the pnut (appreciate the dollar) toward avalue of 3.5 pnuts per dollar, which is outside of the top of the allowable band (3.06 pnuts per dollar). In order to defend the pegged exchange rate, the Pugelovianmonetary authorities could use official intervention to buy pnuts (in exchange fordollars). Buying pnuts prevents the pnut’s value from declining (selling dollarsprevents the dollar’s value from rising). The intervention satisfies the excess private demand for dollars at the current pegged exchange rate.b. In order to defend the pegged exchange rate, the Pugelovian government couldimpose exchange controls in which some private individuals who want to sell pnuts and buy dollars are told that they cannot legally do this (or cannot do this without government permission, and not all requests are approved by the government). By artificially restricting the supply of pnuts (and the demand for dollars), thePugelovian government can force the remaining private supply and demand to"clear" within the allowable band. The exchange controls attempt to stifle the excess private demand for dollars at the current pegged exchange rate.c. In order to defend the pegged exchange rate, the Pugelovian government couldincrease domestic interest rates (perhaps by a lot). The higher domestic interestrates shift the incentives for international capital flows toward investments inPugelovian bonds. The increased flow of international financial capital into Pugelovia increases the demand for pnuts on the foreign exchange market. (Also, thedecreased flow of international financial capital out of Pugelovia reduces the supply of pnuts on the foreign exchange market.) By increasing the demand for pnuts (and decreasing the supply), the Pugelovian government can induce the private market to clear within the allowable band. The increased domestic interest rates attempt toshift the private supply and demand curves so that there is no excess privatedemand for dollars at the current pegged exchange rate value.8. a. The gold standard was a fixed rate system. The government of each countryparticipating in the system agreed to buy or sell gold in exchange for its owncurrency at a fixed price of gold (in terms of its own currency). Because eachcurrency was fixed to gold, the exchange rates between currencies also tended to be fixed, because individuals could arbitrage between gold and currencies if thecurrency exchange rates deviated from those implied by the fixed gold prices.b. Britain was central to the system, because the British economy was the leader inindustrialization and world trade, and because Britain was considered financiallysecure and prudent. Britain was able and willing to run payments deficits thatpermitted many other countries to run payments surpluses. The other countriesused their surpluses to build up their holdings of gold reserves (and of international reserves in the form of sterling-denominated assets). These other countries weresatisfied with the rate of growth of their holdings of liquid reserve assets, and most countries were able to avoid the crisis of running low on international reserves.c. During the height of the gold standard, from about 1870 to 1914, the economicshocks to the system were mild. A major shock—World War I—caused manycountries to suspend the gold standard.d. Speculation was generally stabilizing, both for the exchange rates between thecurrencies of countries that were adhering to the gold standard, and for theexchange rates of countries that temporarily allowed their currencies to float.10. a. The Bretton Woods system was an adjustable pegged exchange rate system.Countries committed to set and defend fixed exchange rates, financing temporarypayments imbalances out of their official reserve holdings. If a "fundamentaldisequilibrium" in a country's international payments developed, the country could change the value of its fixed exchange rate to a new value.b. The United States was central to the system. As the Bretton Woods system evolved,it became essentially a gold-exchange standard. The monetary authorities of other countries committed to peg the exchange rate values of their currencies to the U.S.dollar. The U.S. monetary authority committed to buy and sell gold in exchange for dollars with other countries' monetary authorities at a fixed dollar price of gold.c. To a large extent speculation was stabilizing, both for the fixed rates followed bymost countries, and for the exchange rate value of the Canadian dollar, whichfloated during 1950-62. However, the pegged exchange rate values of currenciessometimes did come under speculative pressure. International investors andspeculators sometimes believed that they had a one-way speculative bet againstcurrencies that were considered to be "in trouble.” If the country did manage todefend the pegged exchange rate value of its currency, the investors betting against the currency would lose little. They stood to gain a lot of profit if the currency wasdevalued. Furthermore, the large speculative flows against the currency requiredlarge interventions to defend the currency's pegged value, so that the government was more likely to run so low on official reserves that it was forced to devalue.12. a. The dollar bloc and the euro bloc. A number of countries peg their currencies to theU.S. dollar. A number of European countries use the euro, and, in addition, a number of other countries peg their currencies to the euro.b. The other major currencies that float independently include (as of the beginning of2002) the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Swiss franc.c. The exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the other major currencies havebeen floating since the early 1970s. The movements in these rates exhibit trends in the long run—over the entire period since the early 1970s. The rates also showsubstantial variability or volatility in the short and medium runs—periods of less than one year to periods of several years. The long run trends appear to be reasonablyconsistent with the economic fundamentals emphasized by purchasing powerparity—differences in national inflation rates. The variability or volatility in the short or medium run is controversial. It may simply represent rational responses to thecontinuing flow of economic and political news that has implications for exchange rate values. The effects on rates can be large and rapid, because overshootingoccurs as rates respond to important news. However, some part of the largevolatility may also reflect speculative bandwagons that lead to bubbles thatsubsequently burst.Chapter 72. Disagree. In a sense a national government cannot go bankrupt, because it can printits own currency. But a national government can refuse to honor its obligations,even if it might be able to pay. If the benefit from not paying exceeds the cost of not paying, the government may rationally refuse to pay. And, a national governmentcan run short of foreign currency to pay obligations denominated in foreigncurrency, because it cannot print foreign money.4. The debt crisis in 1982 was precipitated by (a) increased cost of servicing debt,because of a rise in interest rates in the United States and other developed countries as tighter monetary policies were used to fight inflation, (b) decreased exportearnings in the debtor countries, because of decreased demand and lowercommodity prices as the tighter monetary policies resulted in a world recession, and(c) an investor shift to curtailing new lending and trying to get old loans repaidquickly, once it became clear that (a) and (b) would lead to some defaults.6. With free international lending Japan lends 1,800 (= 6,000 - 4,200) to America, at。

东南亚金融危机始末东南亚金融危机始于泰国货币危机,而泰国货币危机早在1996年已经开始酝酿。

当年,泰国经常贸易项目赤字高达国内生产总值的8。

2%,为了弥补大量的经常项目赤字和满足国内过度投资的需要,外国短期资本大量流入房地产、股票市场,泡沫经济膨胀,银行呆账增加,泰国经济已显示出危机的征兆。

1997年以来,由于房地产市场不景气、未偿还债务急剧上升,泰国金融机构出现资金周转困难,并且发生了银行挤兑的事件.5月中旬,以美国大投机家乔治·索罗斯的量子基金为首的国际投资者对泰铢发动猛烈冲击,更加剧了泰国金融市场的不稳定性。

7月2日,泰国货币危机终于全面爆发,并由此揭开了时至今日尚未平息的亚洲金融危机的序幕。

(一)7月2日,泰国货币危机全面爆发并迅速波及整个东南亚金融市场7月2日,泰国宣布放弃自1984年以来一直实施的固定汇率制度安排,改行有管理的浮动汇率制度,当天泰铢即贬值20%,这标志着泰国货币危机全面爆发。

由于菲律宾、印尼、马来西亚等周边国家也面临着与泰国相似的一些问题,再加上所谓的“接触传染”效应以及国际投机者的不断狙击,泰铢的暴跌在东南亚各国形成了“多米诺骨牌效应”,货币风潮迅速波及到整个东南亚市场。

7月11日,菲律宾首先步泰国后尘,宣布货币自由浮动。

菲律宾比索当天贬值11。

5%,利率一夜之间猛升到25%;印尼则宣布印尼盾汇率的波幅由8%扩大到12%;一向稳健的新加坡元也于7月18日跌至30个月以来的最低点1.4683新元兑换1美元;8月14日,印尼宣布汇率自由浮动,当天印尼盾再次贬值5%;8月16日,马来西亚林吉特暴跌了6%,跌至24年来的最低点.东南亚外汇市场的震荡,使投资者信心受挫,外资大量撤离,东南亚股市也因此低迷,泰国货币危机由此逐步发展成为更为广泛的东南亚金融危机.在这场金融危机中,港元联系汇率制也接受了严峻的挑战,香港特区政府采取果断对策,成功地捍卫了港币联系汇率制度,但是,由于利率飙升,香港股市为此受到较大冲击。

(完整word版)基于马尔科夫链在金融中的应用

基于马尔科夫链在金融中的应用摘要:讨论了我国金融的发展现状及趋势,针对金融中常见的经济问题,建立相应的马尔可夫链模型,并运用马尔可夫链的相关理论为金融的经济活动进行了定量的研究,同时也阐述了马尔可夫链在经济预测中的基本思想、应用、模型预测的结果说明。

实例表明,马尔可夫链模型及方法在金融活动分析中是可行和适用的,可广泛应用于解决金融中常见的预测及决策问题。

关键词:马尔可夫链;市场预测;平均利润预测;转移概率矩阵1引言马尔可夫链最初由俄国数学家Markov于1906年的研究而得名,Kolmogorov,Feller和Doob等数学家继续发展了这一理论,它是随机过程的重要组成部分,同时它在自然科学、工程技术、金融及经济管理等各领域中都有着广泛的应用[1]。

随着我过社会主义市场经济的不断发展,科学技术的进步,经济管理体制改革的深入和金融经营机制的转变,金融不仅要利用经济活动分析这一管理经济的重要方法,分析金融的生产经营活动,而且还要分析金融的经济环境,了解国内外市场情况和社会需求的变化,以便随着其不断变化,及时调整生产经营活动,增强竞争力,从而使金融能够适应商品经济的要求而健康发展。

因此,金融的经济活动分析在金融的经营管理中发挥着日益重要的作用,它对事后实事求是地分析、总结金融完成的经济活动和事前科学地预测、判断金融未来的经济活动都是必不可少的[2].一般情况下,经济预测的定量方法要用到数学模型,而定性方法则不需要。

马尔可夫链为经济领域中运用数学模型对定性问题进行预测提供了一种思路,丰富了经济预测方法的内容。

金融是一个动态变化的系统,在这一系统中,有一些变量和因素会随时间的推移而不断的随机变化。

而马尔可夫链预测法又是一种适用于随机过程的科学、有效的动态预测方法,它立足于当前通过市场调查等途径所获现实资料的基础上,运用马尔可夫链的基本原理和方法对数据资料进行运算得出预测结果,因此很适用于金融的经济预测。

本文就是运用马尔可夫链理论建立了一系列预测模型,使之能够给金融提供更大的帮助.随着我国市场经济建设的高速发展,人们的生活水平大幅度提高,可支配收入也渐渐多了起来,大家的金融意识和投资意识也日益增强,投资理财越来越成为一个热门的话题。

(完整word版)2008年金融危机爆发的原因及其带来的启示

2008年金融危机爆发的原因及其带来的启示一、金融危机的爆发2007年2月13日,作为美国第二大次级抵押贷款公司的美国新世纪金融公司发出2006年第四季度盈利预警,美国次级抵押贷款风险开始浮出水面。

随后,次贷危机的影响逐渐蔓延,5月到6月,一些西方对冲基金破产;7月次贷问题导致私人股本运转失灵;8月次贷危机扩散至股市,全球主要股市每个交易日股价下跌2%以上的事件经常发生;8月至9月,出现全球性信贷紧缩,多国中央银行多次向金融市场注入巨额资金,也无法阻止次贷危机的爆发。

2008年9月,美国次贷危机再度激化,金融风暴很快从美国的抵押贷款机构、投资银行蔓延到保险公司、储蓄机构和商业银行。

9月7日,美国政府宣布接管美国房利美公司和房地美公司;9月14日,美国银行收购美国第三大投资银行美林公司;9月15日,美国第四大投资银行雷曼兄弟公司不得不申请破产保护;9月16日,美国联邦储备系统宣布向美国国际集团(AIG)提供850亿美元紧急贷款;9月25日,美国联邦监管机构接管华盛顿互惠银行,并将其部分业务出售给摩根大通公司……越来越多的大型金融机构倒闭或被政府接管,次贷危机演变成为金融危机,而且越来越失控。

更为严重的是,这场危机很快扩展到全球,使得世界经济增长明显放缓,部分主要发达国家或地区经济陷入衰退,主要金融市场急剧恶化,全球股市遭受重创,多国政府财政赤字增加,全球通货膨胀压力增大,世界贸易环境恶化,多国就业形势严峻,失业人数不断攀升。

时至今日,虽然说全球经济整体呈现复苏态势,但一些国家仍然深受其累。

这场席卷全球的金融海啸使国际金融体系遭受到严重的冲击与考验,同时也逆转了世界经济增长的强劲势头。

二、金融危机产生的原因(一)直接原因第一,过度的金融创新。

这场全球性金融危机起因于美国次级信用住房抵押贷款债务的证券化,而次贷证券化和次贷证券买卖正是为满足金融家们对尽可能多的高额利润的追求。

“两房”通过资产证券化,将购买到的商业银行及房贷公司流动性差的贷款转换成债券在市场上发售,吸引投资银行等金融机构来购买。

(完整word版)杠杆收购融资结构及效应分析

(完整word版)杠杆收购融资结构及效应分析

杠杆收购融资结构及效应分析杠杆收购(Leveraged buyout,LBO)源于20世纪60年代美国,是80年代全球第四次并购浪潮中最具影响的一种特殊并购模式,目前已成为全球金融不可或缺的基本工具。

杠杆收购作为一种金融创新工具,通过对最小自有资本以小博大、高风险、高收益、高技巧的资本运作实现最快速的企业扩张.杠杆收购促使垃圾债券、过桥贷款、私募基金、风险资本等金融工具的涌现和盛行,并通过改善公司治理结构、降低代理成本、提高资本效率等方式创造特殊的股东价值。

1988年的美国KKR公司并购总金额达250亿美元RJR纳贝斯克公司,更是有史以来规模最大、最具神话特色的杠杆收购案。

近年来,我国陆续颁布《证券法》、《企业债券管理条例》、《商业银行并购贷款风险管理指引》、《上市公司收购管理办法》等一系列法律法规,以拓宽企业融资渠道、解决股权分置问题、完善资本市场,为杠杆收购在我国的发展和有效运用建立法律基础、提供制度保障.不断涌现的上市公司并购、跨境并购及外资并购案,使得越来越多的中国企业不得不与国际行业巨擘展开激烈竞争,了解和掌握杠杆收购融资运作模式,具有非常深远的意义。

一、杠杆收购原理杠杆收购是指收购者以较少的自有资金为基础,从投资银行或其他金融机构筹集大量的资金进行收购活动,继而以被收购企业的资产或现金流来支持偿还债务的并购方式。

[1]杠杆收购实质上就是举债收购,即以债务资本为主要融资工具,运用财务杠杆加大负债比例,以较少自有资金筹集主要资金进行收购、重组的一种资本运作方式。

杠杆收购目前主要有三种方式:目标公司管理层参与的杠杆收购(管理层收购MBO)、无目标公司管理层参与的杠杆收购LBO、目标公司雇员参与的杠杆收购(员工持股计划ESOP)。

区别于一般并购,杠杆收购主要的特征有(1)高负债率。

收购公司通常以权益和债权作为主要并购资金来源,债权/权益资金比率通常在6:1~12:1之间,权益资金(或自有资金)在收购总价款中一般只占10%~15%。
