Abstract

One of the important issues in finance literature is how the capital structure influences firm performance. This paper aims to investigate this relationship by focusing specifically on the entertainment industry. Taking into account the growing importance of research and development (R&D) activities in the industrial revolution 4.0 era, an additional goal of this paper is to examine how the R&D intensity moderates the relationship between the capital structure and firm performance, particularly in the entertainment industry. We find that the relationship between the capital structure measured by debt ratio and the firm performance in the entertainment industry shows distinctive features from those obtained from entire industries. While the negative influence of the increase of debt ratio is strong and consistent with various proxies when using a sample with entire industries, we cannot find this distinctive influence among entertainment enterprises. The moderating effect of R&D investments on the negative influence of debt ratio on the firm value, observed in the sample with entire industries, is not found in the sample composed of entertainment companies. These findings suggest that the influence of the debt level on firm performance and the role of R&D investments in this relationship in the entertainment industry are perceived and evaluated differently by financial market participants.

본 연구는 자본구조가 기업 성과에 미치는 영향이라는 재무학계의 주요 연구주제를 엔터테인먼트 기업에 초점을 두어 분석한다. 또한 4차 산업혁명 시대를 맞이하여 그 중요성을 더하고 있는 엔터테인먼트기업의 R&D투자가 자본구조와 기업 성과의 관계성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 실증 분석을 위하여 2000년부터 2018년까지 장기간의 표본 기간을 이용하고 국내 유가증권 시장 및 코스닥 시장에 상장된 전체 기업 표본과 엔터테인먼트 기업 표본을 이용하여, 엔터테인먼트 기업들이 나타내는 특수성을 검증하였다. 기업의 성과로는 재무적 성과인 기업 가치와 회계적 성과인 수익성을 모두 이용하였다. 분석 결과, 엔터테인먼트 기업의 자본구조는 재무적 성과에 약한 긍정적 영향력 또는 무관련성 모습을 나타냈다. 그러나 엔터테인먼트 기업의 자본구조는 회계적 성과인 수익성에는 부정적 영향을 미치고 있었다. 또한 엔터테인먼트 기업들의 R&D투자는 자본구조와 기업성과 간의 관계성을 강화하거나 약화시키는 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 본 연구는 엔터테인먼트 산업을 대상으로 한 분석을 진행해야 할 필요성을 제시하여 준다. 국내 엔터테인먼트 기업들을 대상으로 하여 자본구조 및 R&D투자가 기업 성과에 미치는 영향과 관련한 분석이 진행된 바가 없음을 감안할 때, 본 연구는 엔터테인먼트 산업에 대한 재무적 측면에서의 이해도를 증진시키고 향후 후속 연구의 활성화를 위해 공헌할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
