This study makes an empirical comparison of various realized volatilities (RVs) in terms of overnight returns. In financial asset markets, during overnight or holidays, no or few trading data are available causing a difficulty in computing RVs for a whole span of a day. A review will be made on several RVs reflecting overnight return variations. The comparison is made for forecast accuracies of several RVs for some financial assets: the US S&P500 index, the US NASDAQ index, the KOSPI (Korean Stock Price Index), and the foreign exchange rate of the Korea won relative to the US dollar. The RV of a day is compared with the square of the next day log-return, which is a proxy for the integrated volatility of the day. The comparison is made by investigating the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). Statistical inference of MAE and RMSE is made by applying the model confidence set (MCS) approach and the Diebold-Mariano test. For the three index data, a specific RV emerges as the best one, which addresses overnight return variations by inflating daytime RV.

This study analyzed the effects of M&A announcement before and after the 1998 amendments of 'Securities and Exchange Act' through the event study. The M&A firms turned out to gain the abnormal returns during the entire periods. The cumulative average abnormal returns of M&A firms was 1.38%(market adjusted model) or 5.37%(industry-adjusted model) higher after the 1998 amendments than before. The differences of performance of M&A were significant also in case of the related M&A, vertical or horizontal M&A, M&A in booms. In regression analysis, the 1998 amendments of Act was the significant factor to explain the cumulative abnormal returns.

2011년 건화물선 운임지수 평균값은 1,549p를 기록, 2010년 2,758p 대비 44% 가량 낮은 수준을 기록한 동시에 1,137p를 기록했던 2002년 이후 9년여만에 가장 낮은 수준을 기록하였다. 작년 9월 국제통화기금(IMF)에서 발표한 World Economic Outlook 기준 2012년 세계 경제 성장률은 4.0% 성장으로, 중국과 인도, 브라질 등 개도국들의 강한 성장이 미국과 유럽의 저성장을 상쇄할 것이라고 발표하였다. 그러나 IMF는 세계 경제가 유럽위기로 위험한 상황에 처해 있으며 중국 등의 이머징 국가도 위기의 영향을 받고 있다고 경고하며 올해 세계 경제 성장률이 하향 조정될 가능성이 있는 것으로 전망되고 있다. 그러나, 2012년 케이프선형을 둘러싼 수급여건은 다소 개선될 것으로 전망됐다. 다음은 캠코 선박운용 주식회사에서 발표한 "2012년 건화물선 시황전망"의 주요 내용을 요약정리한 것이다.

본 논문에서는 우리나라의 부동산시장(不動産市場)의 불완전성(不完全性)이 금융시장보다도 강한 현실을 반영하여 그것이 자본자산가격결정모형(資本資産價格決定模型) (the capital asset pricing model)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 부동산시장의 불완전성으로서는 특히 부동산의 경우 기본적인 최저거래단위가 일반 금융자산보다도 높아 거래에 제약이 따른다는 점, 또한 최근 정부의 부동산 가격의 안정화 시책에 따라 개인의 부동산 보유한도가 엄격하게 제한되고 있으며 부동산 투자 이득에 대한 과세도 대폭 강화되고 있다는 점 등이 고려되었다. 이와같은 가정하에서 본고에서는 전통적인 자본자산가격모형을 수정 검토한 뒤, 그 모형의 틀속에서 부동산보유제한(不動産保有制限) 및 투자이득(投資利得)의 과세강화(課稅强化)같은 부동산가격 안정화 시책의 효과를 살펴보고, 그 외 자산담보대출의 담보비율 조정이 자산의 가격형성에 미치게되는 효과와 부동산 투자신탁제도의 도입효과, 부동산 기대수익률과 주식의 기대수익률의 관계 등을 검토하였다. 이러한 분석의 결과, 특히 본고에서는 현재 정부가 추진중인 불동산보유제한(不動産保有制限) 및 투자이득(投資利得)의 과세강화(課稅强化)와 같은 정책들이 경우에 따라서 부동산 가격을 안정화시키기 보다는 오히려 부동산 가격의 상승을 유발할 수도 있는 것으로 나타나 정책의 시행시 상당히 신중을 기하지 않으면 안되는 것으로 분석되었다.

This study validates the trading rules based market anomalies and technical analysis in the Korean stock market. For the analysis, we built decile portfolios on the basis of corporate characteristics factors that clearly demonstrate specific patterns of stock returns including the firm size, book-to-market equity, and accruals. This portfolio was used to develop a portfolio based on the moving average trading strategy which was used for popular technical analysis tools, and then that was evaluated using the Sharpe ratio. We also created a zero-cost portfolio to identify the profitability and success rate of the moving average trading strategy. We lastly sought to ensure a more robust evaluation by calculating the Sortino ratio of the portfolio based on the moving average trading strategy with various lags. Key findings from this validation are as follows. First, a smaller firm size, a higher book-to-market equity, and lower accruals led to larger average returns. Second, the risk-adjusted performance of the moving average trading strategy was the highest in terms of the firm size, followed by book-to-market equity and accruals. Third, the returns of the zero-cost portfolios all had a positive value, with its overall success rate hovering over 68.8%, demonstrating the successfulness of the moving average trading strategy. Fourth, various evaluations revealed the economic usefulness of our trading strategy that used market anomalies and technical analysis.

Escalation method examining the changes in price index has been widely utilized in public construction projects. The previous escalation method determined estimated changes in price based on the average unit price of contract items over a period of time. In relation to this method, the issue has been raised that the fluctuation rates of previous method show different trends compared with other related price indices, as the influence of the small group of contract items with large unit prices overwhelms the others. This research suggested an improved escalation method which estimates the fluctuation rate by examining the changes in CCI (construction cost index) and applies it to the total amount or the partial amount deducted for labor cost in price escalation for previous bid price method. To verify the improvement, a case study is conducted on an educational facility, and the fluctuation rate was estimated in two different base periods (short term, long term). The results over the long term showed similar tendencies to those of related price indices, as well as significant differences in fluctuation rates compared to those of the previous method.

This paper presents an empirical analysis on the relationship between consumer sentiment and macro-economic indices by consumer's characteristics such as age, income and employment type. According to the empirical analysis based on the Consumer Sentiment Index(CSI) of the Bank of Korea and other macro-economic indices, the following study findings are presented. First, individual consumer sentiment depends not only on GDP growth, but also on other macro-economic conditions such as wage, employment, consumer and asset price, and debt burden. Second, the degree of importance of the macro-economic indices on determining individual consumer sentiment varies strongly according to consumers' characteristics. These findings reveal that the gap between consumer sentiment and GDP growth can largely be explained by considering the other macro-economic indices and consumer's characteristics.

This study is related to the developing method of a transparent sunscreen cosmetic which has waterproofing property and no white turbidity when applied to skin. The transparent sunscreen is prepared by exploiting refractive index difference between oil-phase and water-phase of water-in-oil(W/O) emulsion. The sunscreen according to this study is prepared as a W/O type emulsion so that it is water-stable and water resistance. Also, the stability of W/O type emulsion is developed by adjusting the content of oil phase part and water phase part. As a result of this studying, the transparent W/O emulsion is prepared by adjusting the refractive index of oil-phase and water-phase within 0.004 and it is found that the stability of the transparent sunscreen is increasing when the water phase part is over 75% (w/w) of the W/O emulsion. Through clinical test of transparent sunscreen, the value of sun protection Factor(SPF) and Protection Factor of UVA(PFA) were determined. SPF and PFA values of transparent sunscreen were indicated $30.99{\pm}1.65$ and $3.01{\pm}0.30$.

This paper examines the relationship between the real estate policies of Korean government and the stock market of Korea. It is the purpose of this paper whether the government policies are effective or not when the Korean government release new real estate policies outlining higher taxes and more housing supply as part of its plan to suppress speculation. This paper studies the properties of daily stock returns of the construction sector in Korea securities market when the government announcements of the real estate policies are released. On the demand side, multiple home owners and those purchasing property for speculative purposes are expected to be hit the hardest If the government policies are effective. The empirical results of this paper show that most of the cumulative abnormal returns(CARs) are statistically significant from the year 2002 to the year 2006 except the year 2004.

In this paper, a novel platform for chemical sensing and biosensing is presented. The working principle is based on the coupling efficiency and interference properties of optical directional coupler (DC) and multimode interference coupler (MMIC). It has been realized using planar technology to allow integration on a silicon substrate. Firstly, the dispersion curves of DC and MMIC is described, and the design specification of an optimized slot optical waveguide to increase waveguide sensitivity is selected. Next, the sensor response to the refractive index change of sensing analyte is numerically simulated. The numerical results reveal that high effective index change per refractive index unit (RIU) change of analyte is obtained, and the sensitivity can be tuned using the DC and MMIC design technique.
