This study employs an analytical mathematical model to estimate the optimal debt ratio of Korean agricultural corporations, more sensitive to the government debt ratio policy compared to other industries, and the estimation of the optimal debt ratio based on objective data. The analytical model utilizes the equation for ROE, with the debt ratio as an independent variable, and related parameters include ROS, TAT, and NFCL. Regarding the NFCL, the optimal debt ratio standard is defined as the debt ratio that maximizes the ROE by analytical procedures such as adding an equation concerning the debt ratio and a linearity relationship to the analytical model, and from these equations, a quadratic equation with the debt ratio as an independent variable describes the ROE. This methodemploys fourteen years of corporate data. Results show that 138% of debt ratio is the optimal debt ratio to increase the ROE of the corporations, which implies that the existing debt ratio of Korean agricultural corporations is higher than optimal. Consequently, it is required for authorities to change future debt ratio policies in view that the purpose of debt ratio management is to maintain safety and increase profitability.Management should emphasize characteristics of the specific industry rather than standardized judgements based on numerical indexes.

본 연구는 1988년부터 1990년까지 공개한 249개 제조업을 대상으로 기업공개를 전후하여 사기업이 공개기업으로 전환하는 과정에서의 변화를 분석하였다. 즉, 공개 전후의 재무적 특성, 영업성과, 소유구조, 배당정책의 변화를 분석하였다. 또한 상장 후 장기주가행태를 살펴보고 영업성과와의 관련성도 분석하였다. 249개 공개기업 중 상장 3년 후에는 오직 71%의 기업만이 정상적인 영업을 할 정도로 영업성과는 악화되었다. 상장년도의 총자산영업이익률과 자기자본순이익률은 기업공개와 함께 급감하며 이후에도 계속 하락하였다. 부채비율은 상장년도에 크게 감소하나 이후 점진적으로 증가하여 5년 후에는 상장 1년 전의 수준으로 증가하였다. 대주주 1인 지분율은 공개 이후 점진적으로 하락하며 지분을 변화는 상장직전의 지분을, 신주모집비율, 자본금 증가와 부의 관계를 갖는다. 공개 전에 배당성향은 매우 낮고 현금배당을 지급한 기업수가 작으나, 상장 이후에는 배당성향이 증가하고 차등배당을 실시하는 기업의 수가 증가하였다. 또한 공개 전에 대주주에게 과도한 배당금을 지급한다는 증거는 없었다. 상장 후 60개월의 누적평균초과수익률은 -15%이며, 산업별로 큰 차이가 나타난다. 기간별 누적초과수익률은 기간별 영업성과의 변화와 정의 유의적인 관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

Since the 1980s, many multinational corporations have been issuing stocks on foreign stock exchanges, not only to enhance their investor base and liquidity, but also to diversify risks. The phenomenon has also been intensified by the rapid financial globalization and securitization trends. The main purpose of this study is to look into the long-run performance of MNCs' cross-listings of stocks on foreign stock exchanges. We use the event study and cross-sectional regression methods. We obtained some interesting empirical results about the long-run effect of cross-listings. First before the listing data the effect of cross-listing is to increase the underlying stock Vice in the local market. It may be caused by expectation of lower risk and cost of capital. However, after the listing data the stock price has been declining, even if it is not significant. Second, we examine the difference in the long-run cross-listing effect, which may be caused by the listing direction. When listing is made from a less developed market to a more developed market, the effect is better than that in the reverse direction. Furthermore, the effect is worse, when the listing company's home country is the U.S. Third, there is a negative relation between CARs and underlying stock liquidity in the local market, So it implies that a firm, whose underlying stocks are very liquid in the local market should carefully value cross-listing based upon the cost and benefit analysis. Last, but not the least we find that the long-un cross-listing effect is better, when a listing firm's ROE is higher.

As foreign investors' share holdings in Korean firms have dramatically increased since 1998 following the financial deregulation on the limit of foreign stock investment, the concern over the negative impacts the foreign investors would bring on the firms' financial policy has been growing too. Foreign investors were perceived to require the firms of excessive payments of cash dividends sometimes with threat of hostile takeover trials detering the firm from investing its cash flow in the physical facilities and RandD eroding their potential growth capabilities. We examine the impact of foreign investment on the firms' dividend policy using 234 listed firms' panel data over the sample periods of 1998 to 2005 employing various panel regression methodology. Foreign shareholders are found not to be related or even negatively related to the payout ratio(dividend/net income), but positively and statistically significantly related to the ratio of cash dividends to book of asset, negatively to the dividend yields. Considering the payout ratio is the most appropriate measure for the dividend payment, we can not support the arguments that the foreign investors' holdings have induced the excessive dividend level in Korean firms.

이 논문은 자본시장이 무작위 행보를 운동법칙으로 삼고 있는가, 아니면 정상성의 시계열에 의하여 움직이고 있는가를 심도있게 분석한다. 주가가 무작위 행보를 따른다는 가설을 긍정적 입장에서, 부정적 측면에서, 그리고 이 양자가 공존하고 있다는 관점에서 각 측면에 합당한 방법론을 통한 실증적 분석에 의하여 검정한다. 여러 검증방법을 사용하여 종합주가지수 수익률을 분석하였는 바, 주가 시계열은 무작위 행보가 아니라 정상성의 확률과정(stationary precess) 임이 밝혀졌다. 이와 같은 결과는 우리나라의 증권시장의 성질 중의 하나가 평균회귀라는 것을 입증하는 증거이다. 그리고 평균회귀가 단기적으로 발생하여 그 속도가 매우 빠르다. 주가 시계열에 충격이 가해져 영향을 받을 때 3일 정도가 경과하면 그 충격이 거의 모두 소멸하고 있다. 우리나라 증권시장은 volatility가 높다. 주가는 상당히 높은 자기상관 관계를 갖고 있으며, 이 상관계수가 음수로서 약 -0.50이다. 무척 빠른 속도의 평균회귀와 높은 시계열 상관에 비추어 볼 때 우리나라의 자본시장이 효율적 시장이라는 가설에는 큰 의심이 든다. 뿐만 아니라 이 실증적 결과는 단기적 예측 가능성이 존재할 수 있음을 시사하고 있다. 주가 시계열은 이분산성(異分散性)이 꽤 높다.

In this study, the rate of return on investment used as a proxy variable for the entity's value and financial structure (liability ratio) is related to positive balance. This is consistent with the Static Tradeoff Theory (STT) that the entity's value and financial structure are related to a positive balance because the capital expense of a debt (tax-saving effects) that is less than its equity cost before it is in financial difficulty. Also, operating profitability (EBITDA/Sales), investment safety, total asset growth, net working capital and depreciation expenses are related to negative (-) with financial structure (liability ratio). This is the result of an analysis consistent with the Pecking Order Theory (POT). Fuel costs, borrowing, total asset turnover, financial costs, and tangible asset ratios have a significant positive relationship with the debt ratio. This is consistent with the agency theory and confirms that excessive chartering expenses, such as the bankrupt H company, are the main factors that pressure the financial structure of Korean ocean carriers.

외환시장의 효율성을 증대시키고, 기업이나 금융기관들의 원/달러환율 변동위험관리가 보다 원활하게 이루어질 수 있도록 하며, 원/달러 환율과 연계된 다양한 투자전략 구사가 보다 용이하게 이루어질 수 있도록 하기 위하여 미국달러 선물시장과 미국달러 옵션시장에서의 유동성 확대 및 시장 활성화가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 미국달러 선물시장과 미국달러 옵션시장의 유동성을 제고시키고 시장을 활성화 시키기 위한 방안들을 제시하였다. 미국달러선물의 만기시 최종결제와 미국달러옵션 만기시 옵션매입자가 옵션을 행사할 때 권리행사에 따른 결제는 실물인수도 방식으로 결제되며, 이러한 실물인수도 방식의 결제는 현물환 포지션을 취하여야 하는 불편함과 현물환 거래와 관련된 거래비용 등으로 인하여 투자자들의 시장 참여를 제약하는 주요 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 미국달러선물과 미국달러옵션의 만기시 결제방식을 현금결제 방식으로 바꾸게 되면 헤지거래자 등 투자자들의 참여가 확대되어 시장 유동성이 증대되고 시장이 활성화될 것이며, 차익거래자들도 적극적으로 참여하게 되어 시장의 효율성이 향상될 것이다. 그리고 미국달러선물과 미국달러옵션을 이용한 투자기법 및 투자전략에 대한 투자자들의 이해 수준을 높이고 환율변동위험 관리의 중요성에 대한 기업들의 인식을 제고시키기 위한 적극적인 노력이 요구되며, 중장기적으로 선물회사들의 지점망 확충과 선물거래소 회원사 확대 방안도 모색되어야 할 것이다. 미국달러 옵션은 거래가 매우 부진한 상태이므로 미국달러 옵션시장에서 유동성이 어느 정도 확보될 때까지는 선물회사들의 시장조성 기능 강화가 요구된다.주었다. 둘째, 주가 수익률을 결정하는 유의성있는 요인들은 당기순이익의 증감, 당해연도의 당기순이익의 분포, 자산증가율, 매매 유동성, 매출액 변동, 거래량 추세, 기업크기(시가총액), 과거 1개월간의 주가수익률, 자기자본증가율등으로 나타났다.이 있을 것으로 여겨진다.다중회귀분석에서 각각 일관되게 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 이러한 결과는 IMF 이후에도 여전히 유지되는 것으로 나타났다.과와는 별개의 PER효과가 여전히 존재하며, 다만 이 PER 효과는 전통적 의미의 일반적으로 낮은 PER종목이 초과수익률을 내는 것이 아니라, 기업규모가 크더라도 그 기업의 개별특성을 고려했을 때 이와 비교해 상대적으로 PER가 낮은 종목에 투자하면 초과수익을 낼 수 있음을 의미한다. 발견하였다.적 일정하게 하는 소비행동을 목표로 삼고 소비와 투자에 대한 의사결정을 내리고 있음이 실증분석을 통하여 밝혀졌다. 투자자들은 무위험 자산과 위험성 자산을 동시에 고려하여 포트폴리오를 구성하는 투자활동을 행동에 옮기고 있다.서, Loser포트폴리오를 매수보유하는 반전거래전략이 Winner포트폴리오를 매수보유하는 계속거래전략보다 적합한 전략임을 알 수 있었다. 다섯째, Loser포트폴리오와 Winner포트폴리오를 각각 투자대상종목으로써 매수보유한 반전거래전략과 계속거래 전략에 대한 유용성을 비교검증한 Loser포트폴리오와 Winner포트폴리오 각각의 1개월 평균초과수익률에 의하면, 반전거래전략의 Loser포트폴리오가 계속거래전략의 Winner포트폴리오보다 약 5배정도의 높은 1개월 평균초과수익률을 실현하였고, 반전거래전략의 유용성을

Companies make decisions with risks such as choosing an investment plan in order to pursue profits. This study explained the decision making of the management of construction companies in South Korea using the tendency to avoid losses in the Prospect Theory. To this end, 20-year financial data of 2,881 companies engaged in real estate development, which have to bear the greatest risk among the construction industry, were collected. The collected companies were roughly classified based on the reference point, and the causal relationship between average return on equity and risk preference by group was empirically analyzed through regression analysis. As a result, it was confirmed that if the average return on equity of a company decreases for the group above the reference point, it tends to select an investment plan with low uncertainty in order not to lose additional money. In addition, it was confirmed that if the average return on equity of a company decreases for the group below the reference point, it tends to select an investment plan with high uncertainty to move to the profit area. This result is exactly consistent with the loss aversion tendency of the Prospect Theory.

This study analyzed the management index, debt ratio, and business performance of livestock agricultural farming corporations since the Korea international financial reporting standards (K-IFRS) was introduced in 2011. In addition, this study was based on credible accounting reports by the financial supervisory service's DART (data analysis, retrieval and transfer) system. First, after analyzing the key management index, the results showed that the current ratio, debt ratio, and current liabilities ratio decreased and the ratio of the owners increased on the safety index. Regarding the profitability index, the ROA (return on total assets), ROE (return on equity), and ROS (return on sales) increased slightly in 2014 compared to 2013. The overall growth and external growth on the growth index have not increased. Second, an analysis of the debt ratio and business performance, the debt ratio has a negative effect on the ROA and ROS. These results show that the use of debt of livestock agricultural farming corporations contributes to the external growth but it has a negative effect on business performance. These results show that management should consider solutions for the increase in sales to achieve cost reductions. In addition, the debt ratio should be reduced and solutions for an increase in revenue are needed to reduce management expenses, such as propagation of technical development.

This study analyzes how investors' irrational behavior (or pessimistic sentiment) affects stock market returns and investors' market activity using mass media that delivered public information from January 1998 to December 2012 as a sample. According to pessimistic investor theory, investor pessimism leads to downward pressure on the price of equity capital, thereby making market sentiment pessimistic and lowering market yields. It also shows that investor pessimism increases transaction costs in the market, which in turn dampens investors' trading activities. In other words, pessimistic reporting on public information disseminated by mass media induces investors to act irrationally, eventually having a direct impact on the stock market. This study conducted an empirical analysis of the existing theoretical and empirical studies using domestic mass media as a sample. First, the study revealed a negative correlation between pessimistic reporting and returns as well as excess returns, while it did not show statistically significant results. Second, evidence has been suggested that pessimistic sentiment in the stock market has a negative impact on future pessimistic reporting by mass media. Third, the analysis of the impact of pessimistic reporting on investors' market activity using proxy variables for various market activities found that pessimism dampens market activity, while it did not show statistically significant results. It is assumed that low statistical significance is due to the fact that sample collection was carried out on a monthly basis. While the results of the study have low statistical significance, statistical signs support predictions of the theory.
