...growing. China is definitely one of those countries. China has achieved an average annual growth above 8% in GDP since 2008; which a rarity in today’s economic climate. At the same time China’s capital markets have been in an expansionary mode for years. Both the bond and the stock markets rank 3rd in the world (FAQ: China’s Bond Market), right behind the U.S and Japan. Despite all these achievement, China has yet to exploit its full potential as its financial markets have still not been fully opened yet. In our report, we will make an analysis of what will happen if China opens their capital markets. First, we will introduce the Chinese capital markets, second discuss the current state of the stock and bond markets, then give a description of what should be done before opening the markets and finally conclude our analysis with what will happen after markets open. China’s capital markets do not have a long history. After the civil war in 1949, mainland China had a stock exchange market called the “Tianjin” Stock exchange market. However, the market was shut down in 1952 because of political acts that targeted capital markets and capitalists. After that date, the capital market remained close until the “opening up” policy set in. At that point, the stock markets reopen in the early 90s (Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock exchange). China’s capital markets are comprised of the stock and bond markets, securities investment funds, and futures. The stock market can be divided...

...David Faskas, Julius Cano, Dan Dragomir, and Tisha Ray FINC 4369 Dr. Jonathan Du February 7, 2011 Analysis of FedEx and United Parcel Service The domestic United States market for package-delivery is a $45-billion dollar market. The air express market is a $25-billion dollar segment of this market. The package delivery industry is very large and highly competitive. Two of the top competitors, FedEx Corporation and United Parcel Service have been racing to gain a larger portion of this multi-billion dollar market for years. Recently with a landmark air-transportation agreement being reached in China, the market for international delivery has boomed. Analysts expect China to become the world’s largest economy within the next few decades. The air-cargo market in China has been growing at a rate of 30 percent per year and is expected to increase for at least 5 years at this rate. With such an important growing market opening to international companies, the opportunity is great. Many risks may also be present with this new venture, but the reward may be great for the company that can take hold of this market share first. Through this analysis I will analyze the goals of each firm, how each firm has achieved or strived to achieve these goals, and how each company has dealt with threats from competitors. FedEx has stated in their mission statement that they have the goal of “[producing] superior returns for shareowners by providing high value-added supply chain, transportation...

What drives the dynamics of housing prices across regions is not only of great interest for academic researchers but also of first importance for policy makers. It is also interesting to pay attention to the issue of housing bubbles at a city level and risk allocations from an institutional view. To address the issues, the thesis applies both qualitative and econometric approaches in analyzing the urban housing markets of China. The first paper reviews articles mainly published in Chinese core journals. The existing studies are mainly concerned with such six topics as institutions, policy, land, finance, price and market. The first three topics involve the public housing allocation system reform, such fiscal and monetary tools as tax and interest rate, and the land reserve system. The housing finance treats such subjects of mortgages, bubbles and financial systems...

...The Global Capital Market Learning objectives • Articulate the benefits of the global capital market. • Understand why the global capital market has grown so rapidly over the last quarter century. • Be familiar with the risks associated with the globalization of capital markets. • Appreciate the risks and benefits associated with the Eurocurrency market, the global bond market, and the global equity markets. • Understand how foreign exchange risk impacts upon the cost of capital. This chapter discusses the form and function of the global capital market. The market is attractive because its size lowers the cost of capital for borrowers, and allows investors to diversify their portfolios, thereby reducing their risk. Advances in information technology, and the deregulation of financial services and the relaxation of regulations on cross-border capital flows have contributed to the growth of the global capital market. The chapter then goes on to explore the Eurocurrency market, the global bond market, and the international equities market. The opening case describes how ICBC, China’s largest bank, raised $21 billion in the international equities market. The closing case examines how China Mobile raised capital in international markets through a stock offering and a bond issue.

...purpose of this essay is to comparatively analyze information disclosure of intellectual capital in the UK and China, using the content analysis method on company annual reports. In contemporary society, the importance of intellectual capital (IC) and the popularity of using IC to value a company’s competitiveness have been increasing. The definition offered by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (2001) is probably one of the most comprehensive definitions: “…the possession of knowledge and experience, professional knowledge and skill, good relationships and technological capacities, which when applied will give organizations competitive advantage.” Predicting a company’s future market performance is one of the key functions of IC information disclosure (Roslender and Fincham, 2004). Consequently, IC will have a significant role in the future value creation process. This study has some limitations, such as the small sample number, which has implications for how representative the data are. Ten companies in the respective stock markets were selected in the UK and China (total twenty) and content analysis was performed. A larger sample would have made the calculations too complex for the time available. The following paper reports the results of empirical research indicating that the trend of IC information disclosure is steadily increasing in both China and the UK, indicating that British companies had a better approach than Chinese companies to disclose IC.

...between stock return and exchange rate: evidence on China Yaqiong Li a b , Lihong Huang b a b The Business School, Loughborough University ,UK College of Mathematics and Econometrics, Hunan University, Changsha ,Hunan ,China Abstract The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between RMB exchange rate and A-share stock returns in China, in particular in Shanghai stock market. We find that both stock returns and RMB nominal exchange rate are integrated of order 1. The Engle–Granger cointegration test is then performed, suggesting that there is not a long-run equilibrium relationship between stock returns and RMB exchange rates at 5% significance level. However, there is strong evidence suggesting that there is a short-run uni-directional causality relationship from the nominal exchange rate to the stock returns. Keywords: cointegration; Granger causality; RMB exchange rate; stock return; unit root test. 1. Introduction The China’s exchange rate policy has recently emerged as one of major issues in the trade between the PR of China and the United States of America. The controversy is fuelled by China’s pegging of RMB to USD. Since a major devaluation of the RMB in 1994, the Chinese currency’s exchange rate vis-a-vis USD remained more or less unchanged until 21 July 2005, and has fluctuated from RMB 8.22 to 8.11 per dollar since then. The Chinese Authority has recently announced that “RMB will be no longer pegged to the US dollar” and that “China will...
