We examine the effects of investment opportunities, external financing, and cost of debts on the firms' capital investments. The empirical findings indicate that : (1) the firms' investment opportunities positively stimulates corporate capital investments but the effects of investment opportunities on the firms' capital investments decrease as the external financing and cost of debts increase ; (2) the firms' investment opportunities are positively correlated with firms' capital investments but the effects of external financing on the firms' capital investments decrease as cost of debts increase; (3) cost of debts is negatively associated with firms' capital investments and especially in the KOSPI firms, the effects of investment opportunities on the firms' capital investments decrease as cost of debts increase. Our findings suggest that managers' views be different from the policy maker's view and the more firms' internal factors of capital investments be found in the future.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 기업에서 내부현금흐름과 부채가 투자지출과 어떠한 관계에 있는가를 분석함으로서 외부자금조달의 제약 및 대리인 문제가 투자지출에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석의 결과, 전체 기간에 대하여 투자지출은 내부현금흐름과 강한 양(+)의 관계를 나타내어 외부 자금조달의 제한이 투자지출에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 표본을 분류하여 분석한 결과, 단독기업이 재벌기업에 비해 정보비대칭 문제가 심각하므로 더 큰 외부자금조달의 제한에 직면할 것이라는 증거는 발견되지 않았으며, 주식시장의 장세에 따른 분석결과, 주가 상승기에 투자지출과 부채비율은 두드러진 음(-)의 관계를 형성함으로서 이 시기에는 부채가 투자를 억제하는 요인인 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 IMF 이후 1998년에는 내부현금흐름이 투자지출에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 투자기회가 적은 기업에서만 부채의 계수가 유의적인 음(-)으로 나타나 IMF 이전과는 다른 양상을 보였다.

We study externality costs of capital investment under limited commitment. We solve for the constrained efficient allocation with a limited commitment environment and find positive externality costs of capital investment provided that full-risk-sharing is not feasible. In a decentralized version of limited commitment environment, a one unit increase of capital investment by an agent increases all individuals' autarky values in the economy and generates externality costs in the economy. This externality cost provides a rationale for positive capital taxation even in the absence of government expenditure. In order to internalize this costs, the government use a positive rate of linear capital tax in the decentralized economy.

This study attempts to identify the external and internal factors which affect collaboration motives and investigates their respective impacts from the perspective of foreign direct investment(FDI). Although there has been much research on collaboration motives, so far, few studies have associated collaboration motives with FDI. The findings suggest that while price competitiveness and cost structure uncertainty have a positive and significant impact on collaboration motives, the gross added value to property as well as plant and equipment have a significant negative impact. Furthermore, in the case of gross added value to both property and plant and equipment, managers tend to collaborate with others to enhance the value of these factors. For both FDI and non-FDI firms, internal factors such as price competitiveness and investment within three years are significant determinants for the decision to collaborate. The difference between FDI and non-FDI firms is that for the former, the gross added value to property, an internal factor, is a critical factor, while for the latter, the cost structure uncertainty, an external factor, is critical for collaboration. To summarize, this study suggests the following managerial implication: the enhancement of the internal competency of a firm broadens the window of opportunity for collaboration with others, and consequently provides a chance to boost management efficiency.

The present study analyzed the effect of firms' external research and development (R&D) on corporate productivity, while investigating the moderating effect of firm size on the external R&D-productivity nexus. In the empirical analysis, we estimated South Korean manufacturing firms' total factor productivity (TFP) using the firm level data drawn from the Survey of Business Activities (Korea National Statistical Office) for the years 2006-2015. Thereafter, focusing on the role of external R&D and its interaction with the firm size in determining firms' TFP, the productivity function was estimated as well. To this end, we used ordinary least squares (OLS) and quantile regression to highlight the heterogeneous impacts of external R&D by companies' productivity level. Empirical results confirmed that firms' external R&D significantly enhanced corporate productivity in all manufacturing industries, from high-tech to low-tech. The moderating effect of firm size in determining the productivity effect of external R&D was not as prominent as in the case for internal R&D, which exhibited some degree of the size premium in the productivity-enhancing effect. These results suggest that regardless of the firm size, external R&D can be an important channel for corporate productivity improvement, and can be a particularly effective strategy for SMEs with relatively limited internal R&D capacities.

공학적 투자사업을 선택하거나 기각하는 의사결정기준으로 내부수익률법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 투자사업에서 예상되는 현금흐름의 형태에 따라 다수의 내부수익률이 존재하는 상황이 발생하면 내부수익률법은 의사결정기준으로 사용하기에 부적합하다. 내부수익률의 이런 문제를 해결하기 위하여 전체 수익률 또는 외부수익률을 의사결정기준으로 사용할 수 있다. 그러나 외부수익률도 다양한 방법으로 정의되어 의사결정기준으로 적합한 외부수익률 계산방법을 정해야 하는 문제가 있다. 따라서 공학적 투자사업의 의사결정기준으로 적합한 외부수익률의 조건을 순현재가 치법과 비교하여 탐색한다.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how internal capability adjustments made by subsidiaries in response to local market adaption and market changes, together with the use of internal and external networks, have an impact on the investment performance of such subsidiaries. From the empirical results, it was proven that the larger the extent of internal capability adjustment made by subsidiaries, and the more quickly and flexibly it is implemented, the more positive the investment performance is. The empirical findings also showed that in this process, the use of internal/external network embeddedness has a positive mediating impact on the investment performance. Additionally, the results of statistical analysis support the research hypothesis that external embeddedness has a greater mediating influence on multinational manufacturing companies entering Chinese market than internal embeddedness. It implies to the top managers of subsidiaries that the subsidiary should actively utilize external embeddedness to create a new locational competitive advantage in the local region, as well as develop a strategy to reduce foreignness costs such as cost of adapting to the local system.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of the cash flow of pharmaceutical companies on R&D investment. 143 pharmaceutical companies listed in the KOSDAQ market from 2009 to 2013. Financial statements and comments in general and internal transactions were extracted from TS-2000 of the Korea Listed Company Association (KLCA), and data related to stock price was extracted from KISVALUE-III of NICE Information Service Co., Ltd. STATA 12.0 was used as the statistical package for panel analysis. The summary of the findings and the interpretation of the significance of this are as follows: First, the current ratio (internal finance) had a positive influence on R&D investment. Second, the debt ratio (external finance) had a negative influence on R&D investment. The pharmaceutical company prefers internal funds to external funds due to the asymmetry of information in the loan markets. In other words, this shows why internal finances have a significant influence on R&D investment at pharmaceutical companies.

Research and Development(R&D) investment is an issue of central importance in any economy. In this paper we analyze the relationship between R&D spillovers and trade-related variables, using a two-stage model where duopolists simultaneously decide on R&D in the first stage and engage in Cournot competition in the second stage. We characterized and compared the free-trade and trade-restriction R&D equilibrium in a two-stage game of R&D investment followed by Cournot market competition. We also assessed the impact of varying the R&D spillover on the equilibrium outcomes and tariff. We showed for both free trade and protection cases that there exists a unique symmetric solution(subgame perfect Nash equilibrium). As the solution, while analytical, cannot be stated in closed form, we resorted to numerical experiments to investigate the equilibrium results. Our estimates indicate for both free trade and protection cases that the level of R&D investment and the rate of R&D expenditure decrease as the degree of R&D spillovers increases, and that there is an inverse relation between the degree of R&D spillovers and level of protection. The latter implies that the larger the degree of R&D spillovers, the lesser the level of protection.
