The often raised arguments against allowing Chaebol's ownership of banks, that is, 1) the banks may virtually be transformed into private cash vaults of owners, and 2) conflicts of interests may develop and be possibly abused by chaebols, do not hold under ordinary free market circumstances. Only under some special circumstances in which government imposes artificial regulations on banks such as interest rate ceilings, or provides preferential protection like guaranteeing bank's liabilities, the aforementioned worries can be materialized.

본 연구에서는 미국 상장은행의 자산 부채포오트폴리오 구성의 위험분산(risk diversification)과 도덕적해이(moral hazard)에 관한 실증적 분석을 행하였다. 실증적 분석의 결과 은행의 금기(今期)의 위험분산과 금기(今期) 이후의 위험추구 간에는 유의적인 양(陽)의 관계가 있음을 발견하였다. 즉 위험분산의 정도가 커서 투자가들로부터 파산가능성이 낮을 것으로 여겨지며, 따라서 위험증가에 따른 자본조달비용(예금이자율)의 증가라는 시장에서의 억제기능(market discipline)이 효과적으로 부과되지 못하는 은행들은 이러한 이점들을(특히 시장관련-체계적) 위험성이 높은 정책을 추구함으로써 수익을 증가시키려는 도덕적해이의 동기를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 선행연구에서의 논리대로 은행규모의 대형화가 자산 부채포오트폴리오 구성의 위험분산을 크게 하는 주요한 원인 중의 하나라면, 본 연구에서의 결과는 은행산업의 불건전한 재무구조와 그로 인한 금융질서의 혼란, 나아가 국가경제 전체의 혼란을 겪고 있는 한국 금융산업의 현주소, 즉 부실은행을 퇴출시키고 인수 합병에 의한 대형선도 은행(leading banks)중심으로 은행산업을 재편하는 한국금융산업의 구조조정에 있어 간과되어서는 안 될 중요한 정책적 시사점을 제시해 주고 있다고 하겠다. 즉 도덕적해이의 감소에 대한 제도적인 유인장치가 없는 단순한 인수 합병에 의한 은행의 자산규모의 증가가 반드시 은행산업의 구조적 안정에 기여할 것이라고 기대할 수는 없을 것이다. 대형은행의 자산 부채포오트폴리오 구성의 위험분산의 이점과 이로 인한 투자가들의 대형은행의 위험추구행위에 대한 감시동기의 부족, 이로 인한 도덕적해이가 필연적으로 발생하는 현상이라면, 도덕적해이의 감소에 대한 추가적인 유인책 없는 단순한 자산규모의 증가는 인수 합병을 통하여 탄생한 대형선도 은행들의 또 다른 도덕적해이를 낳을 가능성이 크기 때문이다.

Using a unique data set from a sample of 343 IPOs during the period from January 2001 to September 2003 in the KOSDAQ stock market, this paper investigates how a firm's pre-IPO relationship with a bank affects the firm's IPO underpricing phenomenon. Contrary to the findings by James and Wier (1990) using the U.S. data, we find no evidence that a pre-IPO banking relationship can help reduce IPO underpricing. On the other hand, we find that firms without pre-IPO banking and venture capitalist relationship have the smallest abnormal returns. Our results suggest that the KOSDAQ market participants positively perceive firms with pre-IPO banking and venture capitalist relationship as good quality firms and demand more issues when they go public. It also suggests that in the Korean IPO market, there has been over demand for issues of firms, which have had pre-IPO relationships with banks and venture capitalists.

본 연구는 겸업은행(兼業銀行)과 전업은행(專業銀行)의 장단점에 대한 논의 중에서 충분히 취급되지 못한 문제라 볼 수 있는 은행(銀行)의 산업자본참여(産業資本參與)와 경제성장(經濟成長)간의 관계를 역사적으로 조명하고 이를 이론적인 모형과 실증분석을 통해 살펴본다. 역사적으로 보았을 때 겸업은행제도, 특히 그 제도의 핵심인 은행(銀行)의 산업(産業)에 대한 자본참여(資本參與)는 산업자금조달(産業資金調達)을 용이하게 만듦으로써 일찍이 산업혁명을 일으켰던 영국에 비해 후진국이었던 독일(獨逸)이나 일본(日本)을 선진국으로 발돋움하게 만들었던 중요한 금융혁신(金融革新)이다. 본 연구의 모형에서는 은행의 대출시장과 경쟁적으로 작용하는 잘 발달된 자본시장(資本市場)이 있기 전까지는 은행(銀行)에 의한 산업기업(産業企業)의 주식보유(株式保有)가 은행의 이익을 기업의 이익과 동일시 하도록 함으로써 기업의 투자(投資) 및 성장(成長)을 높인다는 것을 보인다. 그러나 모형(模型)의 이러한 효과는 자본시장이 발달하여 대출시장과 자본시장에서 기업이 자금조달에 무차별하게 되면 소멸된다. 한편 은행의 산업기업주식보유와 반대로 기업(企業)이 은행(銀行)의 주식(株式)을 보유할 수도 있는데, 본 모형에 따르면 이는 기업의 투자 및 성장에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타난다. 이러한 결과를 실증분석을 통해 살펴보면 자본시장(資本市場)의 발달(發達)이 비교적 뒤떨어졌다고 판단되는 대륙형(大陸型) 금융제도를 갖고 있는 나라의 경우 은행의 기업주식보유는 성장에 정(正)의 효과를 주는 반면, 영미형(英美型) 금융제도를 갖고 있는 나라의 경우 이러한 효과는 발견되지 않는 것으로 나타나 모형의 결론을 지지한다.

This paper investigates the cyclical patterns of buffer capital using an unbalanced panel data for the banks in 30 OECD countries and 7 non-OECD Asian countries. We test whether the relationships between buffer capital and business cycle are systematically different across country groups controlling for other potential determinants of bank capital. We find that the correlation is positive for developed countries while it is negative for Asian developing countries. These findings suggest that, once Basel II is implemented, developing countries are more likely to observe an increase in output volatility. We then review the policy recommendations to mitigate the procyclicality problem of Basel II.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of perceived risk, perceived benefits and trust on the intention of continuous use of Internet primary banks in order to explore ways for stable establishment and growth of Internet primary banks. In addition, the mediating effects of trust on the relationships among perceived benefits, perceived risk and intention of continuous use were tested. Through an online survey, 457 people aged 20-59 years who had experience of using an Internet primary bank within the last 3 months were selected as the subjects for this study. First, perceived benefits, perceived risk, and trust were found to have a significant influence on the intention of continuous use of Internet primary banks. Second, the partial mediation effect of trust on the relationships of ease of use and functional risk with intention of continuous use was confirmed, and the full mediation effect of trust on the relationships of attractiveness and innovativeness with intention of continuous use was verified. In order to achieve sustainable growth, Internet primary banks are required to increase major benefits of customers and lower the risk levels to build firm customer trust.

This paper empirically explores the pattern of causality between bank lending and housing prices in Korea over a period of the early 1990s to the end of 2000s by employing a long term cointegration and short-term time series regression analysis. Although the contemporaneous correlation between bank lending and housing prices is large, the analysis shows that the intense interaction between credit growth and bank lending to household arises from a growth in banking lending responding to an increase in housing prices. In addition, the regulatory change such as the introduction of financial constraints on bank loans such as LTV and DTI in the early and mid-2000s has played a significant role in stabilizing financial and real estate markets.

Through the comparative studies on Korean and Chinese ethnobanks in the U.S., this research finds the difference in the social capital between Korean and Chinese American economy and reinterprets the social capital in overseas Chinese. In many ethnic studies, the ethnobanks in the U.S. are thought as the main drive of the economic prosperity in the ethnic communities. For the success of these ethnobanks, the relationship banking of these ethnobanks are contrasted with the arms-length banking of the mainstream U.S. banks. However there are the differences both in performance and business strategies even among different ethnobanks. Contrary to the Korean ethnic banks having much portion of business loans, Chinese ethnic banks have stressed real-estate loans in their loan portfolio. This research regards the differences of business strategies and performance of these ethnobanks as the result of the different social, cultural contexts in each ethnic community. From these finings, we can improve the understanding of the concept of social capital in overseas Chinese economy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of perceived risk on continuous usage intention of Internet primary banks and to verify moderating effects of acceptance factors affecting customers' acceptance of Internet primary banks on the relationship between perceived risk and continuous usage intention. The study aims to find ways to cope with perceived risk and strategic measures of intention in order to increase the intention to continuous usage intention of Internet primary banks. For the analysis, interaction effect were conducted among a total of 457 surveys. As a results, First, perceived risks, acceptance factors and continuous usage intention of the customers of Internet primary banks were significantly correlated. Second, the types of perceived risks which have a significant effect on continued usage intention of Internet primary banks were found to be perceived financial and functional risks. Third, respect to moderating effects of moderator variables, usefulness was found to have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between perceived security risk and continuous usage intention. In addition, ease of use was shown to have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between each type of perceived risks and continuous usage intention. This study attempted to explore and seek strategies to reduce perceived risks and strategic plans for acceptance factors to increase continuous usage intention of Internet primary banks.
