Matej Milicevic, In the wake of the expected Brexit: Potential Effects for the UK, Euroland and Switzerland with respect to the Asset Management, the Investment Banking and the Private Banking Industries, University of Zurich, Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics, 2018. (Bachelor Thesis) The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the potential impacts, including chances and/or risks, the Brexit vote could have on the investment banking, the asset management and the private banking industries in the United Kingdom (UK), the European Union (EU) and Switzerland. The “exit deal” both parties will achieve, determines the vehemence of the impacts on the different industries in the different regions. A “hard” Brexit would be the worst outcome for the UK’s industries, while producing specific opportunities for them. Based on this particular scenario, the industries in the EU could benefit from the Brexit, while negative impacts might arise. For the case of Switzerland, the country plays a minor role in this “conflict” and could on one hand benefit from the vote, but negative consequences should be considered. Howev-er, a “soft” Brexit would be the most harmless outcome for all parties.
Hao Xing, Determinants of Capital Structure of Chinese Listed Firms, University of Zurich, Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics, 2018. (Master Thesis) In this study, I analyze the capital structure problem of Chinese listed firms by examining the capital structure determinants in the first part and testing selected theories in the second part. A hand-collected sample consisting 1220 Chinese listed firms from 2007 to 2016 is used to offer the latest view of this problem. Considering the hierarchical structure of the dataset, this study applies the hierarchical linear modeling technique to assess the relative importance of the time, firm and industry level and estimate the effects of relevant characteristics in determining the capital structure. Results show that the time- and firm-level account for the majority of leverage variation. Meanwhile, a set of determinants have been found significant in explaining firms’ leverage. The tests of the market timing theory and the pecking order theory get some new findings compared to previous literature. With a direct measure of the implied cost of equity, the Market Timing Testing Model shows firms tend to increase their leverage when their cost of equity is high, implying the market timing theory holds for the Chinese listed firms nowadays. As for the pecking order theory, testing results show the first rung of pecking order doesn’t hold while on the second rung, firms prefer debt financings over equity financing. Instead of confirming the suitability of the theory on my sample, I find out the above results are more likely due to firms’ limited access to the financial markets. This conclusion is verified by the relevant findings in the first part of the study.
Meng Zhou, Impact of Shadow Banking on the Financial Stability of China, University of Zurich, Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics, 2018. (Master Thesis) The thesis aims to investigate the impact of shadow banking on the financial stability in China both theoretically and empirically. Most of the existing researches on shadow banking sector stay on the theoretical level. Firstly, an overview of the shadow banking system in China is given based on existing researches. The thesis concludes the characteristics of shadow banking and builds up a criterion to define the shadow banking. Based on the criterion, the shadow banks calling for urgent attention are included when measuring the system size. Secondly, stability indexes for four sectors are introduced by combining individual indicators. Previous studies and official publications are taken into consideration when choosing the indicators. Finally, the empirical study confirms the long-run relations among shadow banking and sectors' stabilities as well as the threshold effect of shadow banking size on banking system's stability.
