Risk Characteristics of Real Estate Related Securities--An Extension of Liu and Mei (1992)
Get PDFThis study extends from Liu and Mei (1992) by further investigation of assets, real estate related securities, which includes both equity and mortgage real estate investment trusts (REITs), the stocks of builder- and owner-companies, and mortgage-backed securities (MBSs). There are five major findings. First, expected excess returns of real estate related securities are more predictable than the expected excess returns of value-weighted stocks and bonds. Second, right market timing is important to investors since evidence shows that the risk premiums of real estate related securities vary substantially over time. Third, real estate market conditions significantly influence bonds and MBSs. Fourth, MBSs are more similar to bonds than mortgage REITs. In addition, returns on mortgage REITs resemble both stocks and bonds. Finally, real estate stocks have a very high sensitivity toward stock market portfolio. This suggests that real estate stocks are not good instruments to help diversify stock risk.
On the Hsing-ling ("Character and Spirit") Theory of Yuan Mei (1716-97) and its Relations with Various Schools of Poetry in his Day
No full textThe Hsing-ling theory advocated by Yüan Mei as the touchstone of poetry comprises two aspects. The first aspect is his theory of Hsing-ch'ing 性情, which looks at poetry as a spontaneous product reflecting the emotions, disposition, and natural endowment of the poet. The second aspect, the theory of Chi-ling 機靈, demands that poetry be keenly perceptive and witty. He thus proposed that poetry should testify to the individual disposition of each poet. Bearing such an opinion, he favored lyrics and love poems, and was opposed to such devices as classical allusions, prescribed rhymes and other rigid regulations because they contradicted his notion of Hsing-ling. The origins of Yüan's Hsing-ling theory can actually be traced back to the theory of poetry advanced by Yang Wan-li 楊萬里 in the Sung 宋 dynasty. Although the late Ming 明 writer Yüan Hung-tao 袁宏道 and his two brothers' opinions about poetry could evidently be discerned in Yüan Mei's theories, he had never acknowledged this indebtedness because their works were banned in his day. To promote his poetics, Yuan Mei had attempted to criticise and discredit other contemporary schools of poetry which included the Shen-yün 神韻 (the flavor theory of poetry) poetics of Wang Shih-chen 王士禛, the Kê-tiao 格調 (stylistic theory) school of Shen Te-ch'ien 沈德潛, and the K'ao-chü 考據 (philology) school. While the Shen-yün school maintained that poetry embodied a mysterious spiritual harmony that laid beyond its words, Yüan Mei felt that poetry should be a matter of disposition and natural temperament and that poems possessing this harmony but not true emotions had not attained superb qualities. Moreover, he criticised Wang Shih-chen for his weaknesses in writing long poems and narrative verses. In attacking the Kê-tiao school, he quoted Yang Wan-li as saying that only poets whose talents for poetry were deficient took refuge in stylistic theory, and that this would hinder the spontaneous expression of emotion. Moreover, the theory of Wen-jou Tun-hou 溫柔敦厚 ("gentleness and seriousness") advocated by Shen Te-ch'ien rejected the kind of love poems that Yüan Mei acclaimed. Thus Yüan had written letters to Shen to dispute with him. He also argued that the poetry of the Sung and Yüan 元 dynasties was not as unworthy as Shen had said. Finally, Yüan Mei harshly criticised the K'ao-chu school which quoted extensively from classical texts and produced poetry that was very difficult to understand, which of course was incompatible with Yüan's poetics

The politics of fashion: perceptions of power in female clothing and ornamentation as reflected in the sixteenth-century Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei
Get PDFThis thesis examines issues of female power and influence in sixteenth-century China focusing on how women and their roles were perceived in the changing social environment of the mid-late Ming dynasty. Using aspects of a New Historicist approach, information from contemporary literary and historical sources are analysed alongside each other. With its emphasis on the lives of women and preoccupation with the description of material objects, the late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei forms an important element in the thesis. China in the sixteenth century saw expanding urbanisation, the emergence of a new wealthy merchant class, increasing visibility of women and a questioning of traditional morality. Fashion consciousness, as one of the most conspicuous aspects of the new material culture, is a possible indicator of these trends. Traditional Western theories contend that fashion began in the particular context of Renaissance Europe. However, this study argues that a similar fashion awareness existed in China too, and was manifested in a competitive striving for social status, in this case specifically among women. In contrast to previous studies which downplayed the impact women had on defining traditional Chinese culture, this thesis demonstrates how women and their sartorial choices began to redefine the boundaries of material culture, influencing literati discourse which, in turn, re- influenced female behaviour
