This paper tries to investigate the relationships among stock return volatility, time-varying risk premium and Korea Discount. Using Korean Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) return from January 4, 1980 to August 31, 2005, this study finds possible links between time-varying risk premium and Korea Discount. First of all, this study classifies Korean stock returns during the sample period by three regime-switching volatility period that is to say, low-volatile period medium-volatile period and highly-volatile period by estimating Markov-Switching ARCH model. During the highly volatile period of Korean stock return (09/01/1997-05/31/2001), the estimated time-varying unit risk premium from the jump-diffusion GARCH model was 0.3625, where as during the low volatile period (01/04/1980-l1/30/1985), the time-varying unit risk premium was estimated 0.0284 from the jump diffusion GARCH model, which was about thirteen times less than that. This study seems to find the evidence that highly volatile Korean stock market may induce large time-varying risk premium from the investors and this may lead to Korea discount.

The purpose of this study is to calculate the economic value of transport demand forecasting risks in the road PPP project. Under the assumption that volatility of the road PPP project value occurs only in regard with uncertainty of traffic volume forecasting, this study calculates the economic value of the traffic forecasting risks in the case of the road PPP project. To that end, forecasted traffic volume is assumed to be a stochastic variable and to follow the Geometric Brownian motion as time passes. In particular, this study attempts to differentiate itself from existing studies that simply use an arbitrary assumption by presenting the application of different traffic volume growth volatility and the rates before and after the ramp-up period. Analysis of the case projects reveals that the risk premium related to traffic volume forecast of the project turns out as 7.39~8.30%, without considering option value-such as minimum revenue guarantee-while the project value volatility caused by transport demand forecasting risks is 17.11%. As the discount rate grows higher, the project value volatility tends to decrease and volatility in project value is always suggested to be larger than that in transport volume influenced by leverage effect due to fixed expenditure. The market value of transport demand forecasting risk-calculated using the project value volatility and risk premium-is analyzed to be between 0.42~0.50, implying that a 1% increase or decrease in the transport amount volatility would lead to a 0.42~0.50% increase or decrease in risk premium of the project.

본 연구에서는 한국을 포함한 4개국의 주식시장을 대상으로 주식시장에 도달하는 정보의 유형 즉, 정보가 나쁜 뉴스(bad news)이냐 또는 좋은 뉴스(good news)이냐에 따라 주가변동성에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 주가변동성은 투자위험을 나타내는 것으로 위험프리미엄(risk premium)과 관련이 있으며, 주가변동성이 높을수록 위험프리미엄이 커져서 기대수익률이 높아지게 된다. 따라서 주가변동성에 관한 연구는 자산가격결정 등 투자자산 관리에 있어서 매우 중요한 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것이다. 실증분석결과에 의하면 전체기간(1991년~2004년)에서 4개국 모두 예상하지 못한 음(-)의 수익률이 예상하지 못한 양(+)의 수익률보다 주가의 변동성을 더욱 증가시킨 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 그 반응 정도의 크기는 한국이 가장 낮게 나타나고 있다. 즉 주식수익률의 정보의 비대칭성은 4개국 모두 볼 수 있으며, 이중 한국에서 정보의 비대칭성이 가장 약하다는 결과로 해석할 수 있다. 본 연구의 이러한 분석결과는 4개국 모두 주식시장에서 정보유형에 따른 주가변동성의 비대칭적 반응이 존재한다는 것을 실증적으로 보여주는 것이다. 또한 두 개의 하위기간(IMF 전후기간)에서도 주가변동성의 비대칭적 반응이 존재하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특이한 점은 주가변동성의 비대칭적 반응을 나타내는 계수값이 한국, 일본, 홍콩 등 아시아 국가들은 IMF 이후기간에서 감소하는(특히 한국의 경우 대폭 감소함) 반면, 미국의 경우에는 대폭 증가하였다. 이는 아시아권의 경우 금융위기를 겪으면서 투자자들이 나쁜 뉴스에 대해 다소 둔감하게 된 결과인 것으로 해석할 수 있다.

This paper examines the economic factors that are related to the dynamics of the variance risk premium, and specially, which economic factors are related to the forecasting power of the variance premium regarding future index returns. Eleven general economic variables, eight interest rate variables, and eleven sentiment-associated variables are used to figure out the relevant economic variables that affect the variance risk premium. According to our empirical results, the won-dollar exchange rates, foreign reserves, the historical/implied volatility, and interest rate variables all have significant coefficients. The highest adjusted R-squared is more than 65 percent, indicating their significant explanatory power of the variance risk premium. Next, to verify the economic variables associated with the predictability of the variance risk premium, we conduct forecasting regressions to predict future stock returns and volatilities for one to six months. Our empirical analysis shows that only the won-dollar exchange rate, among the many variables associated with the dynamics of the variance risk premium, has a significant forecasting ability regarding future index returns. These results are consistent with results found in previous studies, including Londono (2012) and Bollerslev et al. (2014), which show that the variance risk premium is related to global risk factors.

In this study, we examined whether common idiosyncratic volatility(CIV), a risk factor for idiosyncratic volatility, can be evaluated as a pricing factor. The sample is listed on the Korea Exchange. The analysis period is 288 months from July 1992 to June 2016. The main results of this study are as follows. First, in the empirical verification of the market excess returns of the testing portfolios, the difference in the return on the CIV factor sensitivity difference was statistically significant. In other words, we confirmed that there is a risk premium for CIV factors. Second, CAPM, FF3 factor model, and FF5 factor model do not explain the risk premium for CIV factors, whereas factor models that add CIV factors explain the risk premium for CIV factors. In other words, the CIV factor can be evaluated in terms of pricing factors.

This study aims to develop and analyze the performance of a selective option straddle strategy based on forecasted volatility to improve the weakness of typical straddle strategy solely based on negative volatility risk premium. The KOSPI 200 option volatility is forecasted by the SVM model combined with the asymmetric volatility spillover effect. The selective straddle strategy enters option position only when the volatility is forecasted downwardly or sideways. The SVM model is trained for 2008-2014 training period and applied for 2015-2018 testing period. The suggested model showed improved performance, that is, its profit becomes higher and risk becomes lower than the benchmark strategies, and consequently typical performance index, Sharpe Ratio, increases. The suggested model gives option traders guidelines as to when they enter option position.

This study examined on the volatility feedback hypothesis through the use of threshold GARCH-in-Mean (GJR-GARCH-M) model developed by Glosten, Jaganathan, and Runkle (1993) in the stock markets of 14 emerging countries during the period of January, 1996 to May, 2009. On this study, I found successful evidences which can support the volatility feedback hypothesis through the following three estimation procedures. First, I found relatively strong positive relationship between the expected market risk premiums and their conditional standard deviations from the GARCH-M model in the basis of daily return on each representative stock market index, which is appropriate to investors' risk-averse preferences. Second, I can also identify the significant asymmetric time-varying volatility originated from the investors' differentiated reactions toward the unexpected market shocks by applying the GJR-GARCH-M model and further find the lasting positive risk aversion coefficient estimators. Third, I derived the negative signs of the regression coefficient of unpredicted volatility on the stock market return by re-applying the GJR-GARCH-M model after I controlled the positive effect of predicted volatility through including the conditional standard deviations from the previous GARCH-M model estimation as an independent explanatory variable in the re-applied new GJR-GARCH-M model. With these consecutive results, the volatility feedback effect was successfully tested to be effective also in the various emerging stock markets, although the leverage hypothesis turned out to be insufficient to be applied to another source of explaining the negative relationship between the unexpected volatility and the ex-post stock market return in the emerging countries in general.

이 논문에서는 자산의 수익률과 공통요인이 시간가변적 변동성을 갖는 경우의 APT를 검증하고자 시도하였다. 이를 위하여 1980년 1월부터 1995년 12월까지의 17개업종별 포트폴리오 수익률로부터 주성분분석에 의하여 4개의 공통요인을 추출하였다. (이중 첫 번째 요인은 동일가중 시장수익률과 거의 1에 가까운 상관성을 갖고 있으므로, 추출된 첫 번째 요인 대신에 시장수익률을 사용하였다.) 17개 업종별 포트폴리오에 대한 ARCH모형을 추정한 결과, 12개 포트폴리오의 수익률이 조건부 이분산성을 보이고 있다. 또 네 개의 공통요인 중 시장수익률을 포함한 3개의 요인은 뚜렷한 조건부 이분산성을 보이고 있다. 따라서 요인위험--즉, 공통요인에 대한 개별자산의 민감도$({\beta}_{ij})$--은, 개별자산과 공통요인의 상관계수가 일정하다고 가정하여, ARCH모형에 의해 측정된 자산 및 공통요인의 시간가변 표준편차로부터 계산되었다. 이와 같이 계산된 요인위험에 대하여 어느 정도의 위험프리미엄이 주어지고 있는가는 일반화 적률법(GMM)에 의하여 추정하였다. 그 결과, APT의 추정에 사용된 4개의 공통요인 중 시장수익률을 포함한 3개의 요인에 대하여 유의한 위험프리미엄이 추정되었다.

This study intends to discuss the influence on behaviors of won/dollar exchange rate after a FTA between Korea and US come into effect. The change of behaviors of won/dollar exchange rate has been looked into concerning other countries who have signed a FTA pact with the US, and these examples were compared with that of Korea so as to find similarities and differences. As a result of analyses, behaviors of exchange rate between FTA-pact countries were showed differently. Volatility and risk premium somewhat decreased after the FTA took effect except for Chile. As for Chile, showing intense volatility, foreign exchange risk premium rather increased. It can be concluded that the relationship between volatility and risk premium of individual exchange rate is established and FTA can influence change of these behaviors of exchange rate depending on the situation of individual country. This study will contribute to offer informations to Korea trading companies related to IT that will have to prepare for the uncertainties of change of exchange rate due to FTA between Korea and US.
