In the past China's capital market featured prevalent state
ownership and a weak legal environment. It has, however, achieved
very substantial development in the past two decades. China has
surpassed Japan as the world's second-largest stock market and has
also emerged as a leading player in green bonds and Fintech
markets. The chapters in this book provide insights on Chinese
listed firms and advance the understanding of China's unique
institutions. Some important questions are covered including the
governance role of foreign investors in partially privatized firms,
the financial implications of political connections, the "Chinese
model" of commercial banks and regulatory reforms that promote the
marketization of the stock markets, among others. These studies
have important implications for other emerging economies, on the
recent China-US trade conflicts and about the Trump
administration's complaints about the role of the Chinese
government in capital markets. This book selectively includes the
most influential articles from two special issues of The European
Journal of Finance, which were based on selections of papers
presented at a series of conferences on the Chinese Capital
Markets.

This edited collection presents recent developments, practical
innovations, and policy reforms in the realm of microfinance in
emerging markets. Microfinance has been hotly debated by
ever-colliding camps of ardent supporters, who believe that
microfinance addresses credit market failures and provides a
durable answer to the problem of the poverty, and staunch critics,
who argue that lending by microfinance institutions is wasteful,
and the interest rates are too high. To bring further insight into
this important debate, this book presents comprehensive historical,
political, and economic perspectives on the latest issues in
microfinance. An impressive array of scholars and practitioners
build a framework for thinking about regulation to drive
sustainable, inclusive development. With case studies of programs
in India, Ghana, and Bangladesh, and examinations of the effects of
gender and religion on financial decision-making, this
comprehensive collection offers something valuable to scholars,
policymakers, and practitioners-anyone with a vested interest in
promoting innovation in microfinance.

The focus of the global economy has increasingly shifted toward
China and emerging countries. However, despite their high growth
prospects, emerging economies often lack the sound capital market
and corporate governance systems necessary to promote the efficient
allocation of financial resources to maintain the confidence of
capital providers. As China becomes more prominent economically,
the development of its capital market becomes an increasingly
important issue. This book presents some of the latest academic
research on China's capital markets, demonstrating some of the
major issues currently being faced. Preeminent researchers in the
field examine key topics such as the performance of commercial
banks, dividends and ownership, financial constraints and firm
performance, the role of political networks, stock price
decomposition, stock return predictability, and the role of media
coverage. In this book, the authors use the country's institutional
background to offer useful insight into policy implications for the
development of China as well as other emerging economies.
