This paper examines the operating performance of firms that for a four-year period, held more than 15% of their assets in cash and cash equivalents. During next four years, operating performance of firms maintaining high cash persistently is greater than the performance of firms matched by size and industry or firms adopting transitory high cash policy. Furthermore, the effect of persistent cash holdings on operating performance depends on the ownership structure and the level of information asymmetry. Foreign investors deteriorate the operating performance of high cash firms, suggesting that potential M&A and the pressure of excessive dividend reduce the usefulness of cash. The level of information asymmetry enhances the operating performance for the firms adopting persistent high cash policy. It suggests that cash holdings reduce the costly external financing and underinvestment problem for firms with high information asymmetry.

This study examine the firms fund R&D expenditures through cash and cash equivalents under financial distress in order to avoid huge adjustment costs that can be brought after R&D expenditures cut-down. Other study divided the firms' financial condition by only firms' year. This study identifies the firms' financial condition not only by a firm's year but also by firm size and Altman's Z-Score and K-Score. The results show that there are statistically negative relationship between R&D expenditures and cash and cash equivalents when firms are under financial distress. The results are same regardless of criteria of classification of firms' financial condition, which is consistent to the hypothesis. Young and small firms and firms with moderate possibility of bankruptcy fund R&D expenditures through cash and cash equivalent compared to the other firms. We can find the new evidence when we classify the firm by Z-Score and K-Score of Altman. The firms with high possibility of bankruptcy can not fund for R&D activities from cash, but only the firms with moderate possibility of bankruptcy fund R&D expenditures through cash and cash equivalent in the condition of financial distress. The evidence suggests that firms fund R&D expenditures by cash and cash equivalent when they are under financial distress. Findings provide an implication on the management of R&D expenditures and liquidity in the firms.

The medical institution considers liability management problems as a direct factor in managerial risks, such as bankruptcy. Cash Flow provides useful information to necessary funds and predicting bankruptcy. The study for 24 general hospitals and 23 hospitals, a regression analysis was performed to determine the impact of cash flows on the debt repayment capability, a multivariate discrimination analysis was conducted to find out how to manage cash flow for the risk posed by debt. The analysis results, For general hospitals, the level of debt repayment capability was done to net income, increase of payables from operating activities and decrease of patient receivables and inventories from operating activities. If there is no dept repayment capability, it is necessary to increase the net income, increase the expenses not involving cash outflows, decrease of patient receivables and increase of payables from operating activities. For hospitals, the level of debt repayment capability was done to net income, increase of expenses not involving cash outflows and payables from operating activities, decrease of income not involving cash inflows, decrease of patient receivables and inventories from operating activities. If there is no dept repayment capability, it is necessary to increase of payables from operating activities.

This study analyzed how risk factors in management affect the management of working capital in general hospitals in Korea. The data used accounting information for three years (2016~2017 and 2018) of 271 general hospitals using the medical institution accounting information disclosure system. The independent variables were the working capital level and the cash conversion cycle, The dependent variables were operational risk and market risk, Control variables were selected as components of working capital(cash, accounts receivable, inventory assets, accounts payable). According to the study, the lower the operational risk, the higher the level of working capital hospitals in Korea. Working capital decisions were confirmed to be attributable to operating risks, cash, inventory assets and accounts payable. And the lower the market risk (Operating Margin), the higher the cash conversion cycle. Therefore, it is necessary to review appropriate management measures of operational risks, cash, inventory assets and accounts payable identified as operating capital determinants so that medical institutions can also have economic response capabilities in consideration of the specificity of their operations.

This paper examined the relationship among corporate cash flow, its accruals, and its factors with its continuity of profit and corporate value by regression analysis of KOSDAQ based midsize manufacturing enterprises for 11 years from 2004 to 2014 year. Through this empirical analyze, corporate operators can have a chance to find opportunities to improve the efficiency of business operations, and to the potential investors, it can give the perspective through providing the basic information for the rational investment decisions. Through this analysis, its cash flow, accruals and its factors showed continually a significant relationship with its corporate operating profits and its market values. Thought out the relation analysis, its cash flow, its accurals and the factors of the accruals, account receivables, inventories affected the positive(+) impact on its business profits. But, its account payables affected negative(-) impact on its business profit. The other hand, the cash flow from operating activities and accruals related to capitalization of assets and liabilities fluctuations affected a positive(+) effect on the company market value.

This study analyzes empirically the effects of financial cash flows and operating cash flows on R&D investment of firms listed on Korea Exchange. The main results of this study can be summarized as follows. Financial cash flows have a larger positive effect on R&D investment than operating cash flows do, implying that firms use more financial cash flows than operating cash flows for financing R&D investment that has information asymmetry problems. This results suggest that improving financial cash flows enhance R&D investment by increasing the predictability of cash flows and decreasing the volatility of cash flows by decreasing financial leverage. Financially constrained firms use much more financial cash flows than operating cash flows for financing R&D investment that has information asymmetry problems. Financial constraints are measured by proxy variables such as firm size and Hadlock and Pierce's(2010) HP index. This results suggest that improving financial cash flows is more important than operating cash flows for financing R&D investment of financially constrained firms. Moreover, firms use more financial cash flows for financing asset-counted R&D investment than for financing cost-counted R&D investment. Asset-counted R&D investment is counted in intangible assets on the Statement of Financial Position, whereas cost-counted R&D investment is counted in cost on the Income Statement. In conclusion, even after controlling for adjustment costs associated with R&D investment and the endogeneity problems of cash flow variables as well as other characteristic variables, the results show that financially constrained firms use much more financial cash flows than operating cash flows for financing R&D investment that has information asymmetry problems. Overall, this finding suggests that information asymmetry and financial constraints problems are likely to co-exist in financing R&D investment. This finding also contributes to the extant literature that examines investment-cash flow sensitivity by showing that financial cash flows have a larger effect on R&D investment rather than operating cash flows.

We test the effect of corporate cash holdings on firm value by using the KOSPI listed firms over the period between 2002 and 2007 from the agency theories perspective, which has not been the central interest of prior studies. Unlike existing studies, using the manager's ownership ratio or foreign investor's shareholder ratio as a proxy variable for agency costs, we use the individual firm's corporate governance scores by the KCGS to test the effect of agency costs on the value of firm's cash holdings. We find that a firm value is positively related with its cash holdings. We also find that a firm with good corporate governance tends to experience a higher value of its cash holdings, compared with a firm with bad corporate governance. These results are consistent even after controlling for the endogeneity problems between corporate governance and firm value, strongly supporting the agency theory of cash holdings. Therefore, a firm's cash holdings, even from liquidity or precautionary motives, could increase the firm cash value, as long as its managers' interest is shareholders' wealth maximization rather than their private benefits.

본 연구는 한국증권거래소의 현금배당락조치 폐지 이전과 1998년 7월 현금배당락 조치 폐지 이후의 표본을 이용하여 인위적인 거래소의 배당락조치 변경이 배당락일의 주가행태에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 실증분석 결과 현금배당락조치 폐지 이후 거래소 배당락기준가격의 오차는 예상대로 더욱 확대된 것으로 나타났다. 두 기간 모두 배당락일의 주가가 금기예상실효배당금과 거래소가 배당락조치를 위해 인위적으로 산정한 배당금과의 차이인 거래소 배당락기준가격의 오차를 반영할 수 없었다. 또한, 김성민(1997)과 일관되게 단기차익 거래의 유용성은 표본그룹에 관계없이 금기예상실효배당금에 대한 정보소유자가 연말 폐장일에 배당부종가로 구입하여 배당락일인 연초 개장일에 배당락 종가로 매도하는 것이 배당락 시가로 매도하는 것보다 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 그리고, 이러한 차익거래를 통한 보유기간 세후 수익률은 현금배당락조치 폐지 이전인 1997년(4.7%)에 비해 현금배당락조치 폐지 이후 현금배당락을 시키지 않은 $1998{\sim}1999$년(8.9%) 기간에 더 증가하였다. 단기차익을 위한 차익거래가 실질적으로 이루어 졌는지 연초 배당락일 주변의 초과거래량을 분석한 결과 $1997{\sim}1998$ 회계년도의 배당락일에는 유의적인 양(+)의 초과거래량이 발생하였지만 1999 회계년도의 배당락일에는 유의적인 음(-)의 초과거래량이 발생하여 이에 대한 결론을 내릴 수 없었다. 본 연구는 금기예상현금배당에 대한 완전예측을 가정함으로써 배당락일의 주가하락과 주주총회에서 실현될 주당배당금의 괴리는 차익을 제공할 수 있으나 무위험 차익거래 기회가 아님을 밝혀 둔다.효과적인 것으로 판단되었다. 조사한 모든 일중 및 1일(overnight) 투자수익률에서 옵션 거래량의 상대적 비율에 의거한 투자전략은 통계적으로 유의한 투자수익률의 차이를 가져왔다.e 측정치에 의해 평가했을 때, 회사채가 주식보다 더 우수한 것으로 평가되었으나 Treynor 측정치에 의한 평가를 했을 때는 정기예금이 가장 우수했다. 그리고 Jensen 측정치에 따라 투자대상을 평가했을 때는 회사채와 국채가 주식보다 앞섰다. 마지막으로, 종합적인 평가를 했을 때는 회사채가 주식보다 우수했고 정기예금은 주식과 동일한 수준으로 평가되었다. 유의성은 없었다.의 선도효과가 지배적임을 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 충분히 발휘하기 위하여 장단기의 투자기간을 설정할 경우에 6개월에서 36개월로 이동함에 따라 6개월부터 24개월까지는 초과수익률이 상승하지만, 이후로는 감소하므로, 반전거래전략을

본 연구의 목적은 IMF구제금융이전의 부도기업과 IMF구제금융 이후의 부도기업을 비교하여 IMF구제금융 이후의 부도원인을 파악하고 향후 관리방향을 제안하는데 있다. IMF구제금융 이후의 부도기업들은 예상외로 유동성이 매우 악화된 상태이고, 또한 높은 부채비율과 이자지급으로 경상이익과 순이익이 매우 저조하였다. 또한 매출액 대비 수익성지표는 매우 양호한 수준을 유지한 것으로 나타나 결국 부채구조와 자산구조의 효율성이 수익에 비해 매우 저조하였음을 볼 수 있었다. 따라서 IMF구제금융 이후의 기업경영관리는 우선적으로 현금흐름을 철저히 관리하여 충분한 채무지급능력과 운전자본을 확보하는 것이 중요하며, 매출액대비 수익성 중에서 영업이익률보다는 경상이익률과 순이익률에 초점을 맞추어 재무구조에 대한 관리를 강화해야 한다. 특히 매출이나 이익에 투하된 자본을 중점적으로 관리함으로써 수익성이 없는 자산과 수익성이 높은 자산을 선별하여 자산구조를 효율적으로 운영하는 것이 매우 중요하다.
