1.The True,Peaceful Face of Islam
There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world,and Islam is the world's fastest-growing religion.If the evil carnage we witnessed on Sept.11 were typical of the faith,and Islam truly inspired and justified such violence,its growth and the increasing presence of Muslims in both Europe and the U.S.would be a terrifying prospect.Fortunately,this is not the case.The very word Islam,which means surrender,is related to the Arabic salam,or peace.When the Prophet Muhammad brought the inspired scripture known as Koran to the Arabs in the early 7th century A.D.,a major part of his mission was devoted precisely to bringing an end to the kind of mass slaughter we witnessed in New York City and Washington.Pre-Islamic Arabia was caught up in a vicious cycle of warfare,in which tribe fought tribe in a pattern of vendetta and counter-vendetta.Muhammad himself survived several assassination attempts,and the early Muslin community narrowly escaped extermination by the powerful city of Mecca.The Prophet had to fight a deadly war in order to survive,but as soon as he felt his people were probably safe,he devoted his attention to building up a peaceful coalition of tribes and achieved victory by an ingenious and inspiring campaign of non-violence.When he died in 632,he had almost single-handedly brought peace to war-torn Arabia.Because the Koran was revealed in the context of an all-out war,several passages deal with the conduct of armed struggle.Warfare was a desperate business on the Arabian Peninsula.A chieftain was not expected to spare survivors after a battle,and some of the Koran injunctions seem to share this spirit.Muslims are ordered by God to slay [enemies] wherever you find them!。Extremists such as Osama bin laden like to quote such verses but do so selectively.They do not include the exhortation to peace,which in almost every case follow these more ferocious passages: Thus,if they let you be,and do not make war on you,and offer you peace,God does not allow you to harm them.Islam is not addicted to war,and jihad is not one of its pillars,or essential practices.The primary meaning of the word jihad is not holy war but struggle。It refers to the different effort that is needed to put God's will into practice at every level-personal and social as well as political.A very important and much quoted tradition has Muhammad telling his companions as they go home after a battle.We are returning from the lesser jihad [the battle] to the greater jihad,the far more urgent and momentous task of extirpating wrongdoing from one’s own society and one's own heart.——Time,October 1st 2001.2.Women at work
Throughout American history,the proportion of women who work to provide for themselves or their families has always very high,What has changed——and has changed dramatically——is how many women earn a wage.After the rise of industrial capitalism in the nineteenth century,men increasingly sold their labor on the market.Most American women,however,continued to work without pay inside the home or on the family farm.This has changed.Most Americans now regard the rigidly enforced isolation of women from the labor force as out of step with contemporary business and culture.For over a century,at any given time more than 80 percent of men have earned a wage or salary.One hundred years ago,only about 20 percent women earned a wage or salary.Today,over 70percent do.Historians will report that the entrance of large numbers of women into the labor force was the most profound shift in the demographic composition of U.S.workers in the twentieth century.Indeed,it could be argued soundly that it was the century's preeminent sociocultural change as well.Wage-earning women in the industrial democracies today have greater earning power than women have ever had in the history of the West.Many see the World War II ear,with its tight labor market and Rosie the Riveter campaigns as the watershed period for women's first beginning to work for wages in large numbers.Such exclusive attention to the temporary upsurge cause by the war,though,risks ignoring how there has been a trend toward increasing labor force participation throughout the development of the American market economy.There can be little doubt that,on balance,a woman's expectation to earn a wage has been liberating.The labor power of today’s women allows personal and professional choices to be made that were unavailable in the past.Some worry,however,that the economic agency that women have gained by entering the labor force is culturally hollow,At very least,the grand social transformation that many feminists hoped would follow after large number of hours outside the home still earn less on average than their male coworkers and are often excluded from positions of authority,yet continue to bear disproportionate responsibility for completing household chores.——America by the Numbers
3.The Knowledge Economy
Economists continue to search for the foundations of economic growth.Traditional production functions focus on labor,capital,materials and energy; knowledge and technology are external influences on production.Now analytical approaches are being developed so that knowledge can be included more directly in production functions.Investments in knowledge can increase the productive capacity of the other factors of production as well as transform them into new products and processes.And since these knowledge investments are characterized by increasing(rather than decreasing)returns,they are the key to long-term economic growth.The most visible sign of the knowledge-based economy is the emergence of the information society。Information technology has speeded up the codification of knowledge,transforming it into a market commodity:large chunks of knowledge can be codified and transmitted over computer and communications networks.The use of personal computers has more than doubled in the last decade.These computers can be linked nationally and internationally.Through computer networks,knowledge is more accessible to a wider group of people and cheaper to acquire.Knowledge itself is becoming a more marketable product,and its spread is transforming other goods and services and creating new markets.The spiraling number of information services available on the Internet,raging from job searches to medical advice,is one example.The transformation of several disciplines—measurements,navigation,chemistry,music,surgery,telecommunications—by laser technology is another.And as the stock of knowledge accessible to the world economy swells,it is driving economic growth.The increase in knowledge accessibility and lower barriers to entry are also enhancing the role of the entrepreneur.——The Knowledge Economy
4.Capacity to Be a Principal
Nor every person or entity may be a principal.To be a principal,one must have the capacity to execute a contract.Minors,incompetents,and other natural persons with limited contractual capacity may be restricted in their ability to be a principal or even prohibited entirely from becoming a principal.Adult persons of limited mental capacities or adults who are temporarily incapacitated(for example,while intoxicated)are not permitted to appoint agents freely.Under modern legal theory,minors have contractual capacity for necessities and thus may be principals and appoint agents for any item deemed to be necessary(food,shelter,and so on)。This complicated by the fact that there is no uniform definition of what falls within the term necessary。Consequently,the practical result is that very few people are willing to contract with minors for anything,and even fewer people will deal with the agent of minor.A corporation has contractual capacity and can be a principal.The corporation's ability to appoint an agent is limited to the scope of activities authorized in its articles of incorporation.This caused some problems in the past because lawyers used to draft the articles of incorporation to encompass only those activities contemplated by the incorporations(for example,to operate a railroad)。However,since modern legal practice is to create a corporation with the ability to conduct any business the law allows,there are few limitations on a corporation’s capacity to act as a principal.Partnerships can usually act as principals,although there are two legal theories to explain how.Where the law does not treat a partnership as a legal entity,the partnership itself is not technically capable of being a principal.In these jurisdictions,because the partnership lacks
contractual capability,the individual partners are deemed to be the principal and the partnership's agent is really the agent of the partners.In the jurisdictions where a partnership is a legal entity,this fiction need not be observed,and the partnership can act directly as a principal through its agents.——McGill's Legal Aspects of Life Insurance
5.Financial Derivatives
In the past two decades,we have witnessed the revolutionary period in the trading of financial derivatives or contingent claims in financial markets around world.A derivative security may be defined as a security whose value depends on the values of other more basic underlying variables,which may be the prices of traded securities,prices of commodities or stock indices.The two most common derivative securities are futures and options.A forward contract(called a futures contract if traded on exchange)is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain time in the future for a predetermined price while an option gives the holder the right(but not the obligation)to buy or sell an asset by a certain date for a predetermined price.Options are classified either as a call option or a put option.A call(or put)is a contract which gives the holder the right to buy(or sell)a prescribed asset,known as the underlying asset,by a certain date(expiration date)for a predetermined price(commonly called the exercise price or the strike price)。Since the holder is given the right,but not the obligation,to buy or sell the asset,he will make the decision depending on whether the deal is favorable to him or not.The option is said to be exercised on the expiration date,then the option is called a European option,while the exercise is allowed at any time prior to the expiration date,then it is called an American option(these term have nothing to do with their continental origins)。The simple call and put options with no special features are commonly called plain vanilla options.Also,we have options coined with names like Asian option,lookback option,barrier option etc.The other party to the holder of the option in the contract is called the writer of the option.The holder and the writer are said to be in the long and short positions of the option contract,respectively.Unlike the holder,he writer does have an obligation with regard to the option contract,say,the writer must sell the asset if the holder chooses in his favor to buy the asset.This is zero-sum game.The holder gains from the loss of writer or vice versa.——Mathematical models of financial derivatives

1.The Battle to Be Your Online Bill Collector
-------------Bankers hope cyberbilling can give them a toehold on the Net
Every year,American business sends out 29 billion bills.And by any measure,the exercise isn't much fun.For companies,printing,processing and posting a tipical consumer bill runs about
90.And for recipients ,there's not only a demand for payment,there 's a wad of solicitations that nearly everyone throws away.But for banks trying to make it on the Internet,bills are cool.Bankers see bills as surefire eyeball-grabbers in an environment where it's tough to command consumer attention——and a key to protecting their existing business managing cash for big companies.Increasingly,banks are battling high-tech competitors for control of Internet billing,or electronic-bill presentment,as it is called.To be sure,this is a fight over a business that is in its infancy.Few bills are now sent via the Net,and online payment systems often involve a paper check.But the technology exists to send bills from business to customers and route payments back on the Net.By the end of next year,industry analysts estimate upwards of 4.5 million households will be receiving bills online.What's more, sending and handling bills over the Net should be about 40% cheaper than paper delivery, says the Gartner Group, a research firm in Stamford, Conn.The question is who will become the bill collector on the Net.Bankers reckon that if they can turn their Web sites into mailboxes for electronic bills ,they can become key entry points on the Net-portals,even.That would enable them to sell other financial services online.The fear is that existing portals,such as Yahoo!or even American Online,will become centers of bill payment and , in turn ,siphon off existing bank business.banks have been slow to get into this, says Kenneth J.Kerr,a Garter analyst in Durham,N.C.But they realize there is a threat here and they need to get aboard.Banks have their advantages.They can offer custumers simultaneous access to their bills and their money.Banks have long relationships with the billers,such as utilities and retailers,and centuries of experience in protecting people's money.Big banks also are worried that technology companies offering bill presentment could muscle into one of their fastest-growing business-managing cash for big companies.After all ,distributing and collecting bills is a close cousin to cash management.At this point,predicting how the industry will shake out is premature.Banks and technology
companies already have formed several alliances aimed a delivering bills on the net.More combinations are likely.What's clear, though , is the banks know they are running out of time to get their Internet billing act together._____From Business Week/July 19,1999
2.Principles of Regulation
The following quotation describes the scope of regulation and how it affects individuals and businesses participating in a market.All market and transactions are in practice regulated by some kind of government laws or regulations , and without regulations of any kind,most markets and types of transactions would cease to exist.Without laws, the terms of many types of agreement and transaction between individuals would be unenforceable and would cease.The choice facing individuals and society is not between regulation and no regulation ; it is how much regulation and what kinds of regulation are desirable.This description portrays regulation as fully encompassing the systems of government and law with the power to control all markets and transactions.Economists and politicians would typically take a much narrower view of regulation,concentrating more on the targets of regulatory action or the regulatory process itself.An economist, focusing on thetargets of regulatory action, might describe regulation as government policy that exerts control over a firm to elicit a desired behavior as a producer of goods or employer of labor.An economist or politician focusing on regulatoty process, however, might express a view similar to the following:
Through regulation,society attempts to substitute the decidion-making process of a regulatory commission for the action of the market mechanism……It is clear that the'process' of regulation is to substitute administrative judgment for market-place judgement.In effect, an economic environment of legal rules and regulations is used as a surrogate for the free market,and economic decisions are made by a political process.The above description portrays regulation as a political process, substituting asministrative judgement for marketplace judgement.The description identifies the important interaction between regulation and the market and raised an important issue:when, if at all, should marketplace judgment be replaced with as ministrative judgement?
Various answers to this question have been proposed.Of primary importance is the market being considered.Different market require different amounts and types of regulation.____From The Regulation of Insurance
3.Intervention Arrangements in the European Monetary System
Bilateral exchange rates within the European Monetary System have never been literally fixed; rather, they have fluctuated within specified limits called margins.Since August 1993 the margins for most bilateral exchange rates have been +_15 percent,although they were narrower before then.Each participating currency is also assigned a central exchange rate against the European Union currencies.When a currency's market xchange rate against the ECU diverges sufficiently from its cegogo the currency is expected to intervene and possibly take other actions to correct the situation.In return for contributing 20 percent of their gold and dollar holdings to a European Monetary Institute,central bank in the EMS receive equivalent holding of ECUs.ECUs can be used, along with other types of international reserves, to purchase domestic currency from member central banks that acquire it in intervention opertations but do not wish to hold it.Intervention burdens may be shared symmetrically within the EMS, but they need not be.If the French franc depreciates to its lower limit against the DM, for example,the French central bank must rectify the situation by selling DM reserves; at the same time, the German central bank must lend the necessary DM to the Bank of France.EMS rules thus call for a symmetric intervention procedure when an exchange rate reaches the limit of its range, one in which the weak-currency country loses reserves and the other gains them.Much intervention takes place within the EMS exchange rate margins, however,and such intervention does not oblige other central banks to take action.If the bank of France buys DM assets and adds them to its reserves, for example, the Bundesbank is not require to intervene as long as the franc stays within its margins.In addition, the symmetry of intervention at the margins is no guarantee that the resulting adjustments in national money supplies are symmetric.There is little at present to prevent a central bank from trying to shift the burden of monetary adjustment onto its EMS partners by sterilizing its foreign intervention.________From c Economics-Theory and Policy,4th Edition
4.Freedom of Contract
The main principle of the law relating to commercial transactions is based on the freedom of the contracting parties to agree as they wish.This principle comprises the freedom to choose whether one wants to enter into a contract at all, the freedom to choose one's contracting party and to agree on the contents of the contract and its general and specific terms.However, any freedom of contract is necessarily controlled by some fundamentals principles of the applicable national law which determine how contractual rights come into being and the effect on contractual undertaking of fraud, misleading statements, duress,coercion, mistake or other invalidating causes.It should also be observed that it may be impossible to obtain enforcement of some contracts and that the modalities of enforcement may differ in different jurisdictions.Generally one cannot expect enforcement of contracts which are illegal in the jurisdiction concerned or which may have such an object that redress to enforcement authorities is unavailable.This is true for most illegal contracts as one cannot very well expect organs of the state to extend a helpful hand to those who have engaged in prohibited of undesirable activities.The same reluctance may well apply to contracts which are not illegal but merely of such a nature that the contracting parties should have to arrange their affairs without the assistance of the authorities, e.g.wagering contract or games for money.In modern commerce, it would normally be impracticable to let the contracting parties individually negotiate each and every contract term.Instead, they would in most cases use ready-made texts appearing in different standard forms or clauses.It is also possible to use computerized texts available for different types of contracts.If so, it is only theoretically possible to base contract interpretation on the actual will and intention of the contracting parties themselves.Such standardised text have to be interpreted objectively and reference to contractual intent represents no more than a lip-service to the traditional paradigm of deriving the contents of contract solely from the will of the parties.The standard to be used is to assess how a reasonable person would understand the text rather than to examine how the actual contracting parties understood it, if they even thought about it at all.Such standardised texts originate from different sources.In some cases they are unilaterally prepared by one of the contracting parties and, in other cases,they are elaborated under the auspices of various trade organisations usually only representing one of the parties in a particular type of contractual relationship.However, trade organisations representing both parties in the contractual relationship may also have agreed on a standardised text, which is then usually called an agreed document.International organisations,such as the International Chamber of Commerce, Promote the elaboration of standard texts and principles which could be incorporated into commercial contracts by reference, In some cases, such standardised texts and principles could attain the status of international usage of trade and, if so, they could be deemed to govern the contracting relationship even in the absence of express reference.________From Igogo, by ICC

1.What is a bank?
As important as banks are to the economy as a whole and to local communities, there is much confusion about exactly what a bank is.Certainly banks can be identified by the functions(services or roles)they perform in the economy.The problem is that not only are the functions of banks changing, but the functions of their principal competitors are changing as well.Indeed, many financial institutions including leading security dealers, brokerage firms, mutual funds, and insurance companies arc trying to be as similar as possible to banks in the services they offer.Bankers, in turn, are challenging these nonblank competitors by lobbying for expanded authority to offer real estate and full-service security brokerage, insurance coverage, investments in mutual funds, and many other new services.The result of many legal and regulatory changes is a state of confusion in the public’s mind today over what is or is not a bank.The safest approach is probably to view these institutions in terms of what types of services the offer the public.Banks are those financial institutions that offer the widest range of financial services especially credit, savings, and payment services and perform the widest range of financial functions of any business form in the economy.This multiplicity of bank services and functions has led to banks being labeled“financial department store”.2.The Adoption of Indirect Instruments of Monetary Policy
In the late 1970s, industrial countries began phasing out the direct instruments some of them used to operate monetary policy-including credits controls, interest rate ceilings, and sometimes directed credits-and began moving toward full reliance on indirect instruments, such as open market operations, rediscount facilities, and reserve requirement.In more recent years, there has been also an increasing tendency for the developing countries and the economies in transition to adopt such instruments.The greater use of indirect monetary instruments can be seen as the counterpart in the monetary area to the widespread movement toward enhancing the role of price signals in the economy more generally.Both have the same objective of improving market efficiency.Perhaps even more critically, moves to indirect instruments are taking place in an increasingly more open economic environment, with widespread adoption of current account convertibility.In such an environment, direct instruments have become increasingly ineffective, leading to inefficienciesand disintermediation.In the absence of indirect instruments of monetary policy, the authorities would, therefore, be unable to counter any problems of excess liquidity, which would impede their efforts to stabilize the economy.3.Why banks are so heavily regulated?
Why are banks so closely regulated? There are number of reasons for this heavy burden of government supervision, some of them centuries old.First, banks are among the leasing repositories of the public’s savings especially the saving of individuals and families.While most of the public’s saving are placed in relatively short-term, highly liquid deposits, banks also hold large amounts of long-term savings in individual retirement accounts(IRAs).The loss of these funds due to bank failure or bank crime would be catastrophic to many individuals and families.But, many savers lack the financial expertise and depth of
information needed to correctly evaluate the riskiness of a bank.Therefore, regulatory agencies are charged with the responsibility of gathering and evaluating the information needed to assess the true financial condition of banks in order to protect the public against loss.Banks are also closely watched because of their power to create money in the form of readily spendable deposits by making loans and investments.Changes in the volume of money created by banks appear to be closely correlated with economic conditions, especially the growth of jobs and the presence or absence of inflation.Banks are also regulated because they provide individuals and businesses with loans that support consumption and investment spending.Regulatory authorities argue that the public has a keen interest in an adequate supply of loans flowing from the banking system.Moreover, where discrimination in the granting of credit is present, those individuals who are discriminated against face a significant obstacle to their personal well-being and an improved standard of living.This is especially true if access to credit is denied because of age, sex, race, national origin, or similar factors.Finally, banks have a long history of involvement with government federal, state, and local.Early in the history of the industry governments relied upon cheap bank credit and the taxation of banks to finance armies and to supply the funds they were unwilling to raise through direct taxation of their citizens.More recently, governments have relied upon banks to assist in conducting economic policy, in collecting taxes, and in dispensing government payments.4.Financial Futures
A financial futures contract is an agreement between buyer and a seller reached today that calls for the delivery of particular security in exchange for cash at some future date.The market value of a futures contract changes daily as the market price of the security to be exchanged moves over time.As a result, futures contracts are “marked to marker” each day to reflect the current value of the assets subject to eventual delivery under each futures contract, and a cash payment may have to be made(usually to a broker)by one or the other party to the contract in order to protect against possible loss.The financial futures markets are designed to shift the risk of interest rate fluctuations from risk-averse investors, such as commercial banks, to speculators willing to accept and possibly profit from such risks.Futures contracts are traded on organized exchanges(such as the Chicago Board of Trade or the London Futures Exchange), where floor brokers execute orders received from the public to buy or sell these contracts at the best prices available.Then a bank contacts an exchange broker and offers to sell futures contracts(I, e., the bank wishers to “go short” in futures), this means it is promising to deliver securities of a certain kind and quality to the buyer of those contracts on a stipulated date at a predetermined price.Conversely, a bank may enter the futures market as buyer of futures contracts(i.e., the bank chooses to “go long” in futures), agreeing to accept delivery of the particular securities named in each contract and to pay cash to the exchange clearinghouse the day the contracts mature, based on their price at that time.5.Offshore Financial Center(OFC)
An offshore financial center(OFC)may be defined as jurisdiction in which transactions with non-residents far outweigh transactions related to the domestic economy.They have developed by offering an attractive tax, legal and/or regulatory environment.In particular, the absence of inheritance, wealth, withholding or capital gains taxes can make the environment in OFCs very favorable to, for example, internationally mobile individuals.Zero or low direct taxes can make it
attractive for companies conducting business with non-residents to incorporate in OFCs.Ina similar vein, the corporate legal environment may facilitate speedy adoption of new financial products or allow greater flexibility in restructuring and refinancing options.Political and economic stability and the presence of high quality professional(eg legal and accounting)and supporting services are also important in attracting business from other major financial centers.A number of important OFCs are small island states, with few domestically owned financial institutions, a large number of “brass-plate” institutions and little non-financial economic activity.The Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands are obvious examples.But the distinction between OFCs and other financial centers is not clear-out.Some economies.Such as Hong Kong and Singapore have a significant volume of entrepot business alongside domestically orientated financial intermediation.The term “OTC” is , furthermore, sometimes also used in connection with special tax and/or regulation zones that are established within the borders of a country to attract non-resident business(for example Labuan in Malaysia, or the International Financial Services Center in Dublin).1. 银行是什么?
无论是对于整个经济还是对于某一地区的经济而言,银行都是很重要的,同样地,人们对银行的准确含义也充满了困惑。当然,可以通过银行在经济中的职能(服务或作用)来给银行下定义。问题在于,不仅仅银行的职能在变化,其主要竞争对手的职能也在变化。事实上,从提供的服务上来看,许多金融机构(包括主要的证券承销商、经纪公司、共同基金和保险公司)都类似于银行。相反,银行家们则通过游说方式争取权力以便能够开展房地产和全面证券经纪业务、保险理赔业务、共同基金投资和其他许多新的服务,藉此向非银行竞争对手挑战。
许多法规发生变化的结果是,导致了对于什么是银行什么不是银行这一问题,目前公众心里一片茫然。根据这些机构对公众提供服务的种类来评价,或许是最保险的做法。银行是提供最广泛金融服务(尤其是信贷、储蓄和支付业务)的金融机构,并执行经济中所有商业形式的最广泛的金融职能。这种服务和职能的多样性,使银行被称为“金融百货公司”。
2.货币政策间接工具的运用
在20世纪70年代末期,有些工业化国家开始逐步摒弃一些曾经用来实施货币政策的直接工具,包括信贷控制,利率上限,有时是直接存款,并开始完全采用间接工具,比如,公开市场操作、再贴现和准备金要求。在最近几年,发展中国家和过渡经济体也开始采用这些间接工具,而且呈上升趋势。
间接货币政策在货币领域里发挥着日益重要的作用,就如同经济中价格信号的功能日益广泛一样。二者有着共同的目标:提高市场效率。或许更为重要的是,转向间接工具的行为发生在一个日益开放的经济环境里,“经常性项目可兑换”被广泛采用。在这样一种环境下,直接工具的效果越来越差,最终会导致完全无效和非居间化投资。如果没有货币政策的间接工具,管理当局就没有办法解决任何过剩流动性带来的问题,而过剩的流动性会妨碍他们稳定经济的努力。
3.为什么要对银行进行严格管制?
为什么要对银行进行严格管制?有很多理由可以解释政府监管这一重负,这已经有几个世纪的历史了。
首先,银行是公众储蓄(尤其是个人和家庭储蓄)的出租仓库。大多数公众储蓄都属于短期存放,属于高流动性的存款,而银行也掌握了大量来自个人退休账户的长期存款。银行破产和犯罪行为会导致银行存款的损失,这对于许多个人和家庭来说,将是巨大的灾难。
但是,许多存款人缺乏正确评价银行风险的金融知识和足够的信息。因此,监管机构有义务收集和评价那些用来评估银行真实财务状况的信息,以保护公众免受损失。
对银行密切监管的另一个重要原因是,银行有创造货币的权力,而这些货币通过贷款和投资就可以直接放出。看上去,银行所创造的货币量的变化与经济状况密切相关,尤其是与就业的增长和通货膨胀的存在与否有关。
要对银行进行管制还因为它们对个人和企业贷款以支持消费和投资。监管当局声称,公众对银行系统能够提供足够的贷款供给非常感兴趣。尤其是,当信贷条件存在歧视的时候,那些被歧视人的个人福利和已经得到改善的生活水平将会遇到严重的影响。如果信贷的权利因为年龄、性别、种族、民族等类似原因而被拒绝的话,这种影响尤其明显。
最后,银行与政府(联邦政府,州政府和地方政府)的纠缠由来已久。在工业化的早期,政府就依靠银行成本低廉的信贷和银行的税收为军队筹措资金,并向他们不愿意通过公民的直接税收筹资的基金提供支持。更近一些时候,政府依靠银行帮助实施其经济政策,征缴税收,发放政府支付款。
4.金融期货
金融期货合约指买卖者双方达成的协议,协议规定了在未来的某个日期以现金交换某一特定的证券。由于被交易的证券的市场价格不断地随着时间变化,期货合约的市场价值也每天都发生变化。因此,期货合约每天都进行逐日结算,以便可以反映该笔合约最终将要交割的资产的当前价值。为了避免可能的损失,合约的一方或者另一方必须采用现金结算(通常是支付给经纪人)的方式。
金融期货市场的目的在于,把利率波动风险从风险规避型的投资者(如商业银行)转移给那些为了得到利润而愿意承担风险的投机者。期货合约交易是在有组织的交易所(如芝加哥期货交易所或伦敦期货交易所)内进行的。在那里,场内经纪人执行由公众发出的以可能的最好价格买入或者卖出合约的指令。一家银行与一个经纪人取得联系,发出出售合约(例如,银行希望可以做空某期货),这意味着它承诺在一个事先确定的价位上、在规定的日期把确定品种和数量的证券出售给合约购买者。相反,一家银行也可以以期货合约购买者的身份进入期货市场(例如,银行希望能够持有某种期货的多头),承诺在合约到期的时候,按照合约规定的价格买入合约中所规定的证券,并将现金支付给交易清算所。
5.离岸金融中心(OFC)
当某一市场中由非本国居民所进行的金融交易远超过与本国经济相关的交易时,这个市场就可以称为离岸金融中心。它们通过提供优惠的税收政策、法律和/或规范的交易环境得到了很大的发展。特别地,由于OFC不对遗产、财富、预提款和资本利得征税,OFC对那些诸如国际流动人口等一类人来说非常具有吸引力。零税收或者很低的直接税收能够吸引那些与非本国居民从事商业往来的公司进驻OFC。同理,这样的公司法律环境能够催生新的金融产品,并允许公司在重组和募资的选择上拥有更大的弹性。稳定的政治与经济环境、高质量的专业人才(如法律和会计人才)以及相关的配套服务对于OFC能够从其他主要金融中心吸引企业也是很重要的。
许多重要的OFC都是一些岛国,当地的金融机构很少,而“黄铜板”机构很多,非金融经济活动却很少。开曼群岛和英属维京群岛就是很典型的例子。但是,OFC和其他金融中心的区别并不是很明确。诸如香港和新加坡除了作为世界上很繁荣的贸易中心的同时,它们也拥有大量的本土金融业务。此外,OFC作为一个专有名词,有时也与这样的地区相联系的,它们往往是建立在一国之内,却执行特定的规章制度和/或者税收政策,其设立的目的在于吸引非本土的企业(例如,马来西亚的纳闽岛,或者是都柏林的国际金融服务中心)。

学校现有在校学生1.6万余人,其中本科生8000余人,研究生4300余人,来华留学学历生2100余人。学校培养的学生一直以专业知识和技能扎实、外语娴熟、思维活跃、实践能力强而受到社会的普遍欢迎,毕业生遍布全国各地的外贸、金融、三资等行业领域及国家机关、中国驻外商务机构,为我国经济与社会发展,尤其是经贸事业的发展发挥着重要的作用。
学校的学术研究在我国对外经贸科研领域占有重要地位,设有100多个研究单位,其中中国WTO研究院是全国唯一的研究世界贸易组织的国家级人文社科重点研究基地。学校图书馆文献总量150余万册(件)。学校主办并公开发行多种学术刊物,其中《国际贸易问题》、《国际商务——对外经济贸易大学学报》、《日语学习与研究》、《Journal of WTO and China》(WTO与中国)等享有较高的学术地位。学校出版社每年出书百余种,在高校出版社中享有较高声誉。学校也是国家培训高级经济管理干部的基地之一,设有政府委托或与外国合办的多个高级在职培训机构。
学校于1989年11月在国内率先成立了校董会。李岚清为首任校董会主席,荣毅仁、霍英东等任名誉主席,吴仪为第二任校董会主席。2011年9月,校董会第三届会议选举施建军为第三任校董会主席,石广生、刘鸿儒、陈元为荣誉主席。校董会的建立,对于学校的建设发展发挥了重要作用。
学校在发展过程中受到海内外广泛关注和支持:政府机构、企业家、财团、大公司等纷
纷向学校捐资设立基金或奖学金,许多国际著名的跨国企业成为学校的赞助团体。目前,社会力量在学校设立的奖学金、奖教金等已达20多项,院系级基金则更多。学校与美、英、法、德、日、俄、意、澳等40多个国家和地区的100多所著名大学和研究机构建立合作交流关系,不断开展的对外交流与合作,使对外经济贸易大学面向世界办学的特色更加鲜明。面对新时期我国全面实现小康社会建设目标,加快社会主义现代化建设的新形势,学校坚持走内涵式发展的道路,倡导追求卓越、创造精品的精神,把建设国际竞争力、影响力显著增强的国际知名的有特色高水平大学作为自己的长期愿景和历史使命。二:专业介绍
