53、措施估價模型，如凈現(xiàn)值、內(nèi)部回報率，回報期和賬面回報率同時被內(nèi)部和外部的經(jīng)理用來做投資決定。前者的措施，考慮過去和當(dāng)前的性能和促進(jìn)未來的業(yè)績的預(yù)測，而后者的措施則更向一給定投資或新的投資和增加或減少預(yù)期未來現(xiàn)金流，同時確定的經(jīng)濟(jì)可行性。</p><p>　　EVA 是一種更為優(yōu)越的業(yè)績評價的方法？</p><p>　　首先讓我們看EVA優(yōu)于根據(jù)會計計算的傳統(tǒng)措施如ROI, ROE 和ROA

54、的原因。這些措施大多數(shù)給我們帶來的從公司賺取的回報率與資本投資公司相聯(lián)系。這些措施的最重要的限制是用被限制的固有的會計利潤來度量。按現(xiàn)行的會計做法，基于歷史成本的會計措施被廣泛的運用，在資產(chǎn)負(fù)債表、收入和開支（折舊以外的其他資產(chǎn)）被確認(rèn)在其當(dāng)前的損益帳中。因此會計率的返回不反映真正的投資回報，往往在最近幾年被低估而在以后的年份被高估。正如Malkelainen（2008）指出的一樣，失真發(fā)生在基于歷史成本和直線法計算資產(chǎn)的折舊計劃的大多

55、數(shù)企業(yè)。這將導(dǎo)致這些措施偏差，由于是在給定的時間點內(nèi)公司的資產(chǎn)組成。這篇文章指的是當(dāng)前的資產(chǎn)，越是當(dāng)前的的資產(chǎn)，計算的是回報率越接近真正匯報率。如果有多個的資產(chǎn)投資即資產(chǎn)組合的價值是靠近資產(chǎn)的當(dāng)前值，那么這種不正常的行為將不會產(chǎn)生影響。但在任何時刻，不論是舊的或較新的資產(chǎn)，一家公司大多數(shù)情況下應(yīng)該都會有一種比較罕見的資產(chǎn)組合。這不排除這些會計措施用于達(dá)成有關(guān)于該公司的真正業(yè)績有意義的結(jié)論。</p><p>　　其

56、他重要的會計措施缺陷是他們忽略了股權(quán)成本，并只考慮借貸成本。因此，它忽略了項目所固有的風(fēng)險，而且沒有明確揭示回報和基本資產(chǎn)的風(fēng)險是等同的。這可能會影響在選擇項目時因為項目的資本成本高于管理者既定的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)從而選擇了吸引力高但破壞了公司的價值的項目。另一方面，這些會計措施會促使管理人員選擇能改善現(xiàn)時的回報率的項目卻忽略那些回報比的資本成本高的項目。選擇回報比現(xiàn)時的回報率高的目項的并不會自增加股東的財富。只有選擇那些回報率高于成本率的項目才能增

57、加股東的財富。因此使用ROE, ROA或類似的會計措施，可能會導(dǎo)致經(jīng)理人選擇那些雖然提供的回報率高于當(dāng)前的回報率卻減少了公司價值的項目。同樣使用這些措施將導(dǎo)致繼續(xù)減少企業(yè)價值，直到回報率低于基準(zhǔn)回報率。</p><p>　　EVA支持者聲稱因為這些不完善的地方使基于會計基礎(chǔ)業(yè)績評價措施不能成為價值創(chuàng)造的代理。這些措施不鼓勵高管理人員采取的行動增加企業(yè)價值。價值增加和收入是兩個不同的概念，可能背道而馳，可能短期的業(yè)

58、績的改善會以公司的長期發(fā)展為代價?；顒由婕暗漠?dāng)前收入提高可能的情況下，短期內(nèi)加強活動的任何值應(yīng)側(cè)重于增加公司長期的利益。避免酌情成本提高了當(dāng)前的性能，同時減少了公司的價值。經(jīng)理人的管理重點要是在短期業(yè)績增加下，長期業(yè)績也能得到增加。（Damodaran 1998，David Young 1999）</p><p>　　問題是，EVA是否是傳統(tǒng)業(yè)績評價指標(biāo)的改進(jìn)，能否達(dá)到使管理人重視股東價值即使這會導(dǎo)致影響當(dāng)前的業(yè)

59、績。答案可能是負(fù)面，因為所有上述的限制亦與 EVA 相關(guān)聯(lián)。方程三所示，EVA 計算需要用到回報率，基于剩余收入EVA區(qū)別于會計率只有考慮了資產(chǎn)成本。成立組合股權(quán)資本成本是EVA的一項優(yōu)勢，它用來度量經(jīng)濟(jì)盈余但不去掉會計利潤的局限性，這是計算EVA的基礎(chǔ)框架。此外，這種優(yōu)勢不可能在實現(xiàn)中常用因為它是一種不容易計算資產(chǎn)的成本的做法。不能總是將市場回報作為支持資產(chǎn)成本的代理因為市場與期望的總是不同的。同樣很難使用資本資產(chǎn)定價模型中測量的資產(chǎn)

60、的成本，因為它很難衡量風(fēng)險自由回報率、貝塔系數(shù)和市場匯水。在印度，由于是在利率經(jīng)常波動的經(jīng)濟(jì)環(huán)境中：資本市場不穩(wěn)定和當(dāng)局管理仍未有完整的方法以提高其效率的資本市場，困難更是增加了更多。實證研究顯示在印度的資本市場波動與在其他發(fā)展中國家的經(jīng)濟(jì)中的較發(fā)達(dá)經(jīng)濟(jì)體的資本市場相似（Tusha Waghmare 2000)。同時研究顯示在印度資本市場上市公司的貝塔系數(shù)是不穩(wěn)定的（Guha Roy，Sanyal 2000 ）。由于印度資本市場歷史只有

61、短短的一二十年，也由于其</p><p>　　在印度，EVA的運用是不受限制的。這是發(fā)表在研究經(jīng)濟(jì)時代（2000年12 月）上的研究企業(yè)的業(yè)績的一個案例。它計算EVA時將所有企業(yè)的資本成本看為13%。研究解釋說這兩年的平均 13%權(quán)益涵蓋的研究與銀行和金融機(jī)構(gòu)的最優(yōu)惠貸款率幾乎相等。更高的風(fēng)險帶來更高預(yù)期的回報是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)的一個基本原則。違反了資本成本為13%這一假設(shè)，可能是認(rèn)為采取存入債務(wù)成本和因此在計算中成立為股

62、權(quán)的組合有效的成本高于13%。該假設(shè)不能證明計算，因為接受該參數(shù)的成本資本不可能使用完全被公認(rèn)的經(jīng)濟(jì)模型估計。</p><p>　　此外，為了更公平，公司的風(fēng)險狀況的變化已被忽略。這篇文章這同時顯示了EVA 在印度受歡迎程度和運用的困難。研究亦忽略在了EVA 的支持者提出的資本和經(jīng)營收入中的調(diào)整。</p><p>　　出處: 阿斯伊士K.貝哈塔查雅，B.V.法尼，《從一般角度看經(jīng)濟(jì)增值》,
