摘要
尽管经济学者已经从理论上对金融契约中承诺的作用进行了大量分析,然而由于研究环境所限,目前依然缺乏该方面的实证研究。本文借助中国股权分置改革的数据,对金融契约中的承诺进行了系统的分析。结果表明:承诺降低了非流通股股东的股改成本;同时,流通股股东也对承诺作出了正面的积极的反应。因此,整体上看,承诺具有经济价值,起着帕累托改进的作用。但是,我们的分析同时也表明,并非所有的大股东都可以作出被流通股股东所接受的承诺,承诺的价值依赖于承诺方的信誉和其所处的契约环境。这意味着政府致力于改善契约环境,将有利于提高经济效率。
Although these have been so many theory papers looking into the value of commitment in the contracting process,empirical analyses remain rare. In this paper, by investigating the ownership split reform in China, we empirically analyze the role of commitment. Our results show that commitment plays an important role in the contracting process：It decreases the reform costs for the nontradable shareholders and tradable shareholders also positively respond to the commitment. Thus, overall making commitment has economic value and is a Pareto improvement. However,our further analyses also reveal that not all nontradable shareholders can make credible commitment that would be accepted by tradable shareholders：The economic value of commitment depends on the reputation and also on the contracting environments. This implies that governments dedicate to improving contracting environments will be helpful to improve economic efficiency.
