We examine the impact of Mergers & Acquisitions on credit- and investment risk using a sample of 402 acquisitions by 215 Swedish firms from 2000 to 2020. We find significant evidence that, on average, M&A increases the credit risk and inversely decreases the investment risk of the acquiring firm. Our results indicate that firm credit risk however is positively correlated with investment risk. After controlling for specific deal- and firm characteristics, our findings suggest that managerial hubris decreases the level of credit risk and increases the level of investment risk in acquiring firms. Our results are consistent with the asymmetric information hypothesis that managers may exploit the volatility of their stock price to hide risk-increasing activities. We also observe that acquirers with high pre-deal credit risk undertake acquisitions that decrease credit risk and increase investment risk. We find no significant impact from neither method of payment nor valuation errors.

保險業資金運用的限制乃民國87年台灣保險界的熱門話題之一，不但有許多保險公司要求財政部放寬資金運用的限制，因為他們認為保險法中明文規定保險資金運用的範圍和比率，使保險資金運用相當僵化，且由於企業經營環境變化極大，因此法令的限制會影響保險公司的營運狀況；而財政部保險司成立的保險革新小組中，也對資金運用的限制有深入的探討，因為限制的範圍不但影響保險公司本身的投資情況，更因為保險公司有龐大的資金可運用，而可能牽動台灣的金融經濟情勢，因此值得深入的探討。 本研究的主要目的包括下列兩點： 1.研究保險公司資金運用績效在民國81年保險法大幅修訂，對資金運用加諸更明確的規定，與保險法修訂前的資金運用績效加以詳細比較，瞭解政府設定資金運用的限制對保險公司獲利率之影響，並針對投資風險進行實證分析，因為高風險伴隨著高報酬，故同時考慮風險與收益的影響程度。 2.初步分析本國保險公司7項經營上的比率例如流動比率是否因為保險法修訂之後而受到影響。 本篇論文的資料來源是來自台北市人壽保險同業公會所出版的『人壽保險業務統計年報』與保險事業發展中心所出版的『產物保險統計要覽』，並採用年報中的資產負債表、損益表與資金運用表加以實證分析。 研究時間以民國81年保險法修訂第146條之1到第146條之5為時間上的分界點，分析民國76年到民國80年資金運用的限制未修訂前的資金運用績效與民國81年到民國86年資金運用的限制修訂後的資金運用績效做比較，但因為依照法令規定發現保險公司有2年的調整期，因此研究時間分成3段（民國76-80年，民國81、82年，民國83-86年）。 本研究同時考慮投資收益率與投資風險，發現在兩迴歸模型中投資收益率與投資收益率變異數之係數均大於0，並且為顯著，代表兩者具有正相關的情形，符合高風險伴隨高報酬的理論；由Markowitz的『平均數-變異數投資組合模式』所求出的效率前緣發現加諸投資限制後，會使效率前緣向右下方移動，亦即同時使風險增加與投資報酬率減少；經由本研究的實證發現保險法的修訂對於保險公司投資績效與投資風險均造成顯著的影響，亦即保險法修訂後，使得保險公司的投資收益率減少，並增加保險公司的投資風險，因此本研究認為目前法令對於資金運用的限制的確有放寬的必要。 由於本研究發現投資上限對保險公司的投資績效會產生顯著的影響，並且會增加保險公司的風險，因此保險公司大聲疾呼再度修改保險法第146條之1到第146條之5與放寬投資限制的確有其必要性；另外本研究之實證可得知保險公司的經營性質會影響其投資收益率，並且因為產、壽險在資金結構與業務性質均有相當程度的差異，因此建議可將產、壽險的資金運用分別規範，由於我們發現限制會對保險公司的投資情形產生影響，加上壽險公司的投資收益率比較高，而投資風險比較低，因此本研究認為對於壽險公司的資金運用規範應該要比較寬鬆。 第一章 緒論 1 第一節 研究動機 1 第二節 研究目的 2 第三節 研究流程與架構 4 第二章 保險業資金運用介紹與文獻回顧 5 第一節 保險法第146條所規定資金運用途徑之介紹 5 第二節 衡量法令限制對企業造成影響之文獻 18 第三章 研究方法 27 第一節 資料來源 27 第二節 研究方法 29 第三節 兩段迴歸 36 第四章 實證分析 37 第一節 各種IRIS比率的實證結果 37 第二節 投資收益率的實證結果 42 第三節 投資收益率之變異數的實證結果 46 第五章 結論與建議 51 第一節 研究結論與建議 51 第二節 研究限制 54 參考文獻 55

建構一套健全的公司治理評等機制，為落實公司治理相關議題的核心工作。本研究以經濟暨合作發展組織之公司治理原則、世界銀行之公司治理架構與國內外公司治理相關實證文獻作為理論基礎，透過分析量化之公司層級衡量指標，嘗試建構一套可行且適合衡量台灣企業之公司治理評等指標，以作為投資人制定投資決策與授信機構評估企業債信風險時之參考。 本研究以2002年國內523家非金融業上市公司為樣本，利用LISREL方法 (線性結構關係模式統計方法)建構台灣公司治理評等指標。分析結果共得出：股權結構構面 (盈餘股份比、專業機構投資者持股率)；董事會職責構面 (盈餘席次比、外部董事席次比率、外部監察人席次數與外部董監持股率)；財務透明度構面 (盈餘管理幅度、損益平穩化程度與財報重編率)等3個構面、9項衡量指標。 透過與企業當期及次期經營績效、公司價值與投資人投資風險間之關聯性實證測試，本研究發現，前項公司治理評等指標與企業之經營績效、公司價值呈顯著正相關，而與投資人投資風險呈顯著負相關。此項實證結果一方面顯示，前項公司治理評等指標愈佳，企業當期與次期之經營績效與公司價值愈高，投資人之投資風險愈低；另方面亦表示本研究所建構之公司治理評等指標對於企業之經營績效、公司價值與投資人投資風險，具有一定程度之關聯性與預測能力。 / A well-developed corporate governance ranking system is essential to implantation of corporate governance. Base on principles proposed by OECD, a framework provided by the World-Bank and empirical literature on corporate governance, this research attempts to develop a workable TCGI (herein Taiwan Corporate Governance Index or TCGI) ranking system. The purpose of provision of TCGI is to help investors and creditors to make better decisions. Using data for 523 non-banking corporations publicly traded at Taiwan Stock Exchange in 2002, and LISREL as the analytical tool, this research constructs a three-aspect (including ownership structure, responsibility of the board and financial transparency) TCGI ranking system with 9 corresponding indicators in total. The empirical results of association tests show that TCGI indicators are significantly and positively (negatively) related to operation performance and market value (the occurrence of firms encountering financial difficulties). The findings thus imply that the TCGI ranking system developed in this research may be useful in investors and creditors decision-making.

В 2018 году пройдет Чемпионат мира по футболу в России. Несомненно, организация такого мероприятия сопровождается не только большим уровнем затрат, но и возможностью привлечения инвестиций в города, принимающие матчи Чемпионата Мира. Задачей администрации города и правительства области становится создание условий для эффективного использования наследия Чемпионата мира. Оценкой эффективности данного наследия может стать инвестиционная привлекательность города после проведения Чемпионата мира. Попытке определить инвестиционную привлекательность спортивного мегасобытия и посвящена данная работа. / In 2018 will be the World Cup in Russia. Undoubtedly, the organization of this event is accompanied by not only a high level of cost, but also by ability to attract investment in the host cities of the World Cup matches. Creation of conditions for effective use of heritage of the World Cup becomes a problem of a city administration and the government of the region. Investment appeal of the city after holding the World Cup can become an efficiency evaluation of this heritage. This work is also devoted to attempt to determine investment appeal of a sports Mega-event.
