This paper explores the relationship between shipping firm's investment and debt-ratio characteristics. Using a panel of 41 shipping firms from 2006 to 2011, this study finds evidence that debt/asset ratio and leverage are negatively associated with firm's investment activities. This relationship shows that volume of debt and capital structure are critical decision factor on firm's investment and capital financing. In terms of financial expenses to sales, positive relationship is existed with firm's investment finding that financing cost is important to investment. The previous study of the firm's investment in other sector also shows a negative relationship with debit ratio. This study is also interested in the extent to which the firm's investment is affected by firm size because there is general agreement that smaller firms have less access to external capital markets. As results, smaller companies group have more positive relationship with factors related to financing cost such as financial expenses to sales and tax. On the other hand, bigger companies group shows the evidence that firm investment is positive relationship with asset size. The analysis corresponding to economic fluctuation shows that debit ratio is more sensitive to firm's investment during a recession. On the other hand, financial expenses to sales is more related to firm's investment during an economic boom.

본 논문은 간단한 비대칭정보모형을 사용하여 자본구조의 해법을 모색하고자 한다. 본 모형의 분석에 따르면, 기대현금흐름의 크기에 대해서만 비대칭정보가 존재할 경우 부채에 의한 자금조달이 최적이며, 주식자금조달은 배제된다. 기대현금흐름의 위험에 대해서만 비대칭정보가 존재할 매는 특정한 증권의 지배현상은 나타나지 않는다. 두 가지 형태의 비대칭정보가 모두 존재하는 일반모형에서는 극단적인 주식자금조달 정책은 기각되지만 100% 부채자금조달과 50% 부채, 50% 주식 자금조달 사이의 어떤 자금조달정책도 실행가능하다. 경영자는 극단적인 외부자금조달정책보다는 안정적인 내 외부자금조달배합을 유지하려 하게 된다. 자금조달결정은 투자결정과는 분리되어 있어 비낭비적이지만, 신 구청구권자 사이에 부(富)의 이전을 초래할 수 있다. 본 모형은 왜 주식발행을 공표하면 주가가 떨어지고 채권발행은 주가에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않는지를 해명한다. 또한 추가로 검증가능한 명제들이 제시된다.

This study investigates how SMEs' (small and medium-sized enterprises) financing strategies affect firm valuation. Given that information asymmetry is engaged in firm valuation in the stock market, investors interpret the meanings of debt financing depending on how SMEs construct the portfolio of financing strategies (retained earnings vs debt financing), thereby making investment decision. Specifically, given that SMEs' debt financing has two meanings in the market signals, called "benefit" and "cost", this study postulates that firm valuation will be differently made by investors, depending on how they interpret the meanings of debt financing under choice competition between retained earnings and debt financing. In this study, we argue that under choice competition, as a SME's debt proportion increases, the "cost" signal outweighes the "benefit" signal, thereby decreasing firm valuation. Moreover, the effect of such signal can be contingent on the SME's characteristics-firm visibility. These ideas are examined using 363 U.S. SMEs ranging from 1971 to 2010. The fixed-effects models estimating Tobin's q show that under choice competition, a SME's debt proportion has a negative impact on firm valuation and that the firm's high visibility mitigates the effect of "cost" signal. In conclusion, this study sheds new light on how investors' interpretations of SMEs' financing strategies affect firm valuation.

When banks prefer securities holding to lending, bank-dependent borrowers would be rationed in bank loan markets. This paper examines, both theoretically and empirically, the incentive of banks to hold securities rather than loans. When banks are in trouble due to an external shock and subsequent drain of deposit, they cannot reduce their loans quickly because loans are illiquid and are not easy to sell. Therefore, banks should respond to insured deposit drain by raising uninsured CDs or debentures. However, they cannot raise enough money through uninsured CDs or debentures when there is costly external finance premium. Meanwhile, if banks hold securities which are highly liquid, they can sell those securities and thus endure deposit drain without costly external financing. This explains why banks hold liquid securities of which yields to maturity are lower than those of loans. Banks' preference for securities comes from the existence of costly external finance premium, which is inversely related with bank net worth. After all, if bank net worth is kept high enough or capital market incompleteness is not severe, the preference for securities should be weakened.

벤처기업은 금융기관 등으로부터 자금을 차입하거나 투자를 유치하는 방법으로 외부자본을 이용하게 된다. 자금차입 기법에는 담보대출이나 신디케이트론 등이 있는데, 마땅한 담보자산을 가지지 못한 벤처기업으로서는 금융기관으로부터 차입을 하는 데에도 한계가 있기 마련이다. 따라서 벤처캐피탈 등 기관투자자로부터의 투자 유치는 벤처기업의 자금조달에 매우 효율적이면서 적절한 자금조달방법이 될 수 있다. 본 호에서는 벤처기업의 투자 유치 시 가장 보편적으로 이용되고 있는 전환사채 및 전환상환우선주와 관련된 법적 쟁점에 대해 살펴 보고자 한다.

In a corporate financing, the decision of optimal capital structure is becoming more critical issues and still remaining a problem to be solved though many of researcher have studied. Particularly, shipping companies need a huge amount of capital finance for new vessel's capacity and then they are considering what is the best capital structure. In this point of view, this study tries to investigate the determinants of debit maturity structure focused on the Korean shipping industry. As results of panel regression analysis, firm size, liquidity, chance of growth, good cash flow are major determinants of debit expiration structure in the Korean shipping companies.

본 논문의 목적은 1991년부터 1996년까지 부실이 된 상장기업 41개사와 이에 대응하는 118개 건전기업의 표본을 가지고 주요 재무정책변수를 이용하여 로짓분석에 의한 기업부실예측모형을 구축하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존연구와는 달리 이론적으로 타당하고 재무경영자의 관심대상인 투자정책변수, 자본조달정책변수 및 배당정책변수를 가장 잘 반영한다고 판단되는 12개의 재무비율을 사전적으로 선정하였다. 이들 12개의 재무비율에 대해 부실기업과 건전기업을 가장 잘 판별할 수 있는 재무비율을 선정하기 위하여 프로파일 분석과 두 표본 t검정을 하였다. 그 결과 투자정책, 자본조달정책, 그리고 배당정책을 대표하는 변수로 자기자본순이익률, 총자본부채비율 및 배당율이 각각 채택되었다. 그리고 현금흐름변수를 추가하였다. 이 네 변수를 이용하여 로짓분석을 실행하였다. 먼저 부실 1년전부터 부실 5년전까지 각 연도별로 부실예측모형을 추정하였다. 부실 1년전의 추정모형에 의하면 총자본부채비율을 제외한 모든 계수의 부호는 (-)로 모두 기대했던 대로 나타났다. 전체적으로 볼 때 부실 4-5년 전에는 자기자본순이익률과 총자본부채비율이 기업부실에 유의한 영향을 주나 부실전 3년간은 현금흐름과 배당률의 크기가 부실에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 부실예측모형을 기업의 재무정책적인 관점에서 추정하였다는 데 그 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.

This study evaluates the extent to which the government's financial support policy, the Audio-visual investment fund, contributed to raising capital for Korean films. Audio-visual investment fund in the Korean film industry, which has been formed through the public sector support since 1999. The Audio-visual investment fund is a leading financial support policy for the Korean film industry, and began with the investment of the Small and Medium Business Administration and the Korean Film Council. It has become an important source of Korean film production costs and has spread to other cultural industry sectors, as a way of capital procurement for a start-up companies and cultural projects. This study reconstruct the data of the organizations such as the size of a new investment fund by public sector, the ratio of public capital contribution, the amount and number of investment in Korean films, investment multiplier compared to equity investment, and the internal return rate(IRR) of liquidation funds in the Korean film capital market from 1999 to 2017. The purpose of this project was to provide the basis for assessing the achievements of the Audio-visual investment fund policy in contributing to the growth of the film industry.
