貨幣爭霸 花落誰家 (The race is on for the new world currency)
近年來,數碼貨幣在世界各地日常經濟活動中已擔當不可或缺的角色,例如中國內地的支付系統,就以微信和支付寶居主導地位,數以億計的消費者已習慣以電子錢包取代現金。臉書正籌備發行新加密幣Libra,標榜為與一籃子官方貨幣掛鈎的「穩定幣」(stablecoin)。在非洲,肯尼亞電訊公司Safaricom亦已推出手機支付程式M-Pesa。

湾区争雄重育才 融汇中西港占优
去年夏天笔者刚从洛杉矶移居到香港这座阔别多年的城市,就接到所属经管学院通知,因学生报名人数突然几近翻倍,需多教一门应用计量经济学的硕士课程。2019冠状病毒病疫情下,香港特区的大学还能增产扩容,实属难得。

Beware of the resurgence of populism in the post-pandemic world
民粹主義近年在多國抬頭,與當前全球經濟和政治變局有密不可分的關係,若要分析國際政經發展,必先理解近年民粹主義冒起的原因。 隨着2008-09年全球金融風暴過後,民粹迅速在各地崛起。在美國,繼茶黨運動在2010年興起,特朗普隨後標榜「美國優先」而在2016年當選總統。此外,法國有右翼政黨國民陣線崛起,英國則有獨立黨在不同選舉中取得佳績;就連一向少受民粹運動影響的瑞典和德國,也漸見到民粹黨派興起。至於發展中國家,委內瑞拉總統查韋斯(Hugo Chavez),厄瓜多爾總統科雷拉(Rafael Correa)、玻利維亞總統莫拉萊斯(Evo Morales),均着眼於資源再分配政策;而極右翼民粹主義領袖,則包括巴西總統博爾索納羅(Jair Bolsonaro)和菲律賓總統杜特爾特(Rodrigo Duterte)。2016年英國公投後脫歐,以及2018年展開的中美貿易戰等,都在此形勢下產生,世界經濟與秩序亦相繼出現不穩定性。

Beware of the gray rhino
2007年,正當美國發生的金融海嘯急速演變之際,時任衍生工具交易員兼作家塔利伯(Nassim Nicholas Taleb)的著作《黑天鵝效應》(The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable)面世。「黑天鵝」一詞,是指一些出現概率非常低,事前無從估計,但影響極為巨大的事件。作者認為影響世界的許多大事,其實都是黑天鵝事件,並批評學術界和風險管理的專家,往往忽略概率分布中極端可能性的重要性。當時百年一遇的金融海嘯,正是一次黑天鵝事件,該書出版合時,自然洛陽紙貴。

Beware of Pig Butchering Scam
