    Discussion Paper No.293 The Formation of the Software and Information Services Industry in Dalian, China Yan Zhang and Nozomu Kawabata April 2013 TOHOKU ECONOMICS RESEARCH GROUP GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT TOHOKU UNIVERSITY 27-1 KAWAUCHI, AOBA-KU, SENDAI, 980-8576 JAPAN 2 The Formation of the Software and Information Services Industry in Dalian, China Yan Zhang (Fujitsu Research Institute) Nozomu Kawabata (Tohoku University) 1. Introduction (1) The Purpose of This Study The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the factors leading to the formation of the software and information services industry in the city of Dalian, China. Studies on information services industries around the world acknowledge India as a center for offshore development and service outsourcing. In contrast, China’s information services industry has a higher ratio of software product development targeting domestic markets (Gregory et al., 2009, Chapter 4). Dalian, however, has prospered as a hub for development and services aimed at Japanese market. While the sales volume and value of exports for the software and information services industry in Dalian were over 200 million yuan and several million dollars, respectively, in 1998, the figures exceeded 40.27 billion yuan and 1.4 billion dollars, respectively, in 2009. The export ratio is 23.8% based on the conversion to the U.S. dollar using each year’s foreign exchange rate. This is significantly higher than the 13.2% export ratio of the entire Chinese software and information services industry (Figure 1). In addition, 90.9% of Dalian’s exports are directed to Japan (Dalian Economic and Information Technology Committee et al., 2009), a percentage considerably greater than that for all of China, which is approximately 60% (Department of Software and Services Industry, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China, et al., 2010).

  • Issuance Overpricing of China's Corporate Debt Securities
    Internet Appendix for “Issuance Overpricing of China’s Corporate Debt Securities” Yi Ding Wei Xiong Jinfan Zhang In this Internet Appendix, we report the following figures, tables, and additional analyses omitted from the main paper. Fig. A1 depicts debt security issuance across the interbank market and the exchange market from 2009 to 2019. In Table A1, we list the 68 licensed underwriters in the interbank market at the end of 2019. Information on underwriters is obtained from NAFMII. In Table A2, we summarize overpricing for CP and MTNs separately for both before and after the rebate ban period. Although the magnitude declined after the ban for both CP and MTNs, overpricing remains statistically significantly. Taken together, we find significant overpricing in all these issuance categories. In Table A3, we report summary statistics of issuance overpricing by using excess returns of the first secondary-market trading day as the overpricing measure. The table shows that the overpricing is robust across time, debt securities, and issuers with different characteristics, consistent with Table 3 in the main paper. In Tables A4 and A5, we conduct difference-in-difference analyses to examine how the underwriter rebate ban affects the excess return across different issuers and across different underwriters. Consistent with results in Tables 5 and 6 of the main paper from using the yield-spread measure, these tables show that after the ban, the drop in overpricing is significantly greater for securities issued by central SOEs than for those issued by other firms, and the drop in overpricing is significantly smaller for issuances underwritten by the Big Four banks.
