The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the nature of controlling shareholders and corporate anti-corruption practice disclosure (ACPD) as well as the mediating role of political background of the chairman or CEO of the firm on the relationship between the two. The content analysis was conducted to extract ACPD from standalone corporate social responsibility reports (CSRR) of 703 China's A-share listed companies. A dummy variable was constructed according to whether a firm disclosed ACPD or not. Logistic regression analysis was used then. Results show that the nature of controlling shareholders has a significant impact on corporate ACPD, with central enterprises disclosing the most frequently, local state-owned enterprises the second and private enterprises the least. Political background of the chairman or CEO has a negative impact on corporate ACPD of state-owned enterprises. These findings have some useful insights in understanding the rent-seeking behavior and information disclosure behavior of corporates in emerging markets. In order to curb the serious corruption problem which is commonplace in developing countries like China, the government should exert certain pressure to strengthen the supervision of information disclosure of listed firms and improve information transparency.

지금까지 많은 리뷰 연구가 이루어져 왔음에도 불구하고 소비자들이 남긴 리뷰들 중 대표적인 리뷰의 위치나 크기를 소비자들이 인식할 수준만큼 강조하는 리뷰, 이른바 강조된 리뷰에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 강조된 리뷰의 노출 방식에 따른 소비자들의 인식 차이를 확인하는 것이 주된 목표이다. 이를 위해 가상의 온라인 리뷰 페이지를 제작하여 최종적으로 강조된 리뷰가 없는 이미지를 보여주는 집단 23명, 긍정적으로 강조된 리뷰만 노출하여 보여주는 집단 61명, 그리고 긍정적으로 강조된 리뷰와 부정적으로 강조된 리뷰를 모두 노출하여 보여주는 집단 87명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 강조된 리뷰의 노출 방식에 따른 차이는 리뷰의 유용성 측면에서는 유의한 수준으로 유용성에 양의 상관관계가 나타났으나, 회의감에는 유의한 영향을 주지 않았다. 또한 리뷰의 유용성과 플랫폼 신뢰도와는 유의한 양의 상관관계, 리뷰의 회의감과 플랫폼 신뢰도와는 유의한 음의 상관관계가 나타났으며, 최종적으로 플랫폼 신뢰도와 사용 의도와의 관계는 유의한 수준으로 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 모든 분석 결과에서 상품군에 따른 차이는 거의 없었다. 이를 통해, 온라인 쇼핑몰의 리뷰를 설계할 때 잠재적인 소비자들의 사용 의도 및 신뢰도를 높이기 위해서 긍정적으로 강조된 리뷰와 부정적으로 강조된 리뷰를 모두 보여주는 것이 중요하다는 점을 시사할 수 있다.

This study examines whether auditors restrain the analysts' opportunistic behavior as reviewing the companies' interim reports. Analysts' forecasts show a walkdown pattern in which their optimism has decreased as the earnings announcement date has approached. At the beginning of the year, there is a lack of high-quality benchmark information that enables information users to judge the accuracy of analyst's earnings forecasts. Thus, early in the year, analysts are highly inspired to disseminate optimistic forecasts in order to gain manager's favor. In this study, we examine adequate benchmarks prevent analysts from disclosing optimistically biased forecasts. We conjecture that auditors' efforts might mitigate analysts' walkdown pattern. To test this hypothesis, we use data from Korea, where it is mandatory to disclose auditor's review hours. We find that the analyst forecast's walkdown decreases with the ratio as well as the number of audit hours. It implies that an auditor's effort in reviewing interim financial information has a monitoring function that reduces analysts' opportunistic optimism at the beginning of the year. We conjecture that the tendency will be more pronounced when BIG4 auditors review the interim reports. Consistent with the prediction, BIG4 auditors' interim review effort is more effective in suppressing the analysts' walkdown.

Purpose Recently, there has been an increase in attempts to analyze social phenomena, consumption trends, and consumption behavior through a vast amount of customer data such as web search traffic information and social buzz information in various fields such as flu prediction and real estate price prediction. Internet portal service providers such as google and naver are disclosing web search traffic information of online users as services such as google trends and naver trends. Academic and industry are paying attention to research on information search behavior and utilization of online users based on the web search traffic information. Although there are many studies predicting social phenomena, consumption trends, political polls, etc. based on web search traffic information, it is hard to find the research to explain and predict tourism demand and establish tourism policy using it. In this study, we try to use web search traffic information to explain the tourism demand for major cities in Gangwon-do, the representative tourist area in Korea, and to develop a nowcasting model for the demand. Design/methodology/approach In the first step, the literature review on travel demand and web search traffic was conducted in parallel in two directions. In the second stage, we conducted a qualitative research to confirm the information retrieval behavior of the traveler. In the next step, we extracted the representative tourist cities of Gangwon-do and confirmed which keywords were used for the search. In the fourth step, we collected tourist demand data to be used as a dependent variable and collected web search traffic information of each keyword to be used as an independent variable. In the fifth step, we set up a time series benchmark model, and added the web search traffic information to this model to confirm whether the prediction model improved. In the last stage, we analyze the prediction models that are finally selected as optimal and confirm whether the influence of the keywords on the prediction of travel demand. Findings This study has developed a tourism demand forecasting model of Gangwon-do, a representative tourist destination in Korea, by expanding and applying web search traffic information to tourism demand forecasting. We compared the existing time series model with the benchmarking model and confirmed the superiority of the proposed model. In addition, this study also confirms that web search traffic information has a positive correlation with travel demand and precedes it by one or two months, thereby asserting its suitability as a prediction model. Furthermore, by deriving search keywords that have a significant effect on tourism demand forecast for each city, representative characteristics of each region can be selected.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD) and investment-cash flow sensitivity, which is a surrogate for financing constraints. Research design, data, and methodology - Taking China's A-share listed companies between 2009 and 2016 as a sample, this paper empirically tests the relationship between CSRD and investment-cash flow sensitivity by Panel VAR model. By introducing the orthogonal impulse response function, this paper distinguishes the fundamental factors and financial ones that affect corporate investment behavior. Results - Findings indicate that: (1) investment-cash flow sensitivity of firms with low level of CSRD is significantly lower than that of firms with high level of CSRD; (2) the orthogonal impulse response of corporate investment to cash flow in firms with high level of CSRD is significantly different from zero, but it is not significant in firms with low level of CSRD; (3) for firms with low level of CSRD, 0.7% of corporate investment volatility can be explained by the change in cash flow, which is lower than that of firms with high level of CSRD (1.1%). Conclusions - Corporations disclosing more and higher quality CSRD are often those faced with financing constraints. Voluntary disclosure can help them alleviate information asymmetry and financing constraints.

이익충돌은 경영, 의학, 연구 등 자문이 필요한 상황에서 윤리문제를 일으키는 주요인 중 하나로 파악된다. 실제 현장에서는 공개를 해결책으로 주로 사용하고 있으나, 공개의 효과에 대한 기존 연구들의 보고는 일관적이지 않다. 본 연구에서는 개인의 이익추구 성향에 따라 공개가 자문 행동에 주는 효과가 달라 지는지를 실험적으로 연구하였다. 참가자는 20대에서 40대의 성인남녀 190명(남: 65명, 여: 125명)으로, 온라인으로 실험과 설문조사에 응답하였다. 실험에서 참가자는 자문가가 되어 가상의 파트너에게 정보를 제공하였다. 이때 참가자는 자문가로서의 역할을 수행하면 적은 보상을 받으나 사익을 추구하면 많은 보상을 받게 되는 이익충돌 상황에 노출되었다. 총 2개의 과제 중 첫 번째 과제를 통해 자문가 역할을 최대화하는 집단과 사익추구를 최대화하는 두 집단으로 구분하였다. 두 번째 과제에서는 이 두 집단에게 각각 이익충돌 상황에 대해 공개 여부를 자발적으로 결정하게 한 뒤 공개여부가 후속적인 자문행동에 어떠한 영향을 주는 지 탐색하였다. 연구 결과, 자문가역할수행집단과 사익추구집단 간 공개여부의 선택비율에는 차이가 없었다. 그러나, 두 집단 간 공개여부에 따라 자문행동에는 차이를 보였는데, 자문가역할수행집단에서는 자발적으로 공개를 선택한 집단이 비공개를 선택한 집단에 비해 파트너에게 정확한 정보를 제공해 주었다. 반면, 사익을 추구한 집단에서는 공개 여부가 자문행동에 영향을 주지 않았다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 연구의 의의와 더불어 후속 연구를 위한 제언을 논의하였다.

Objectives: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) is a national surveillance system that has been assessing the health and nutritional status of Koreans since 1998. Based on the National Health Promotion Act, the surveys have been conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC). Methods: An oral examination as part of The National Health and Nutrition Examination was proposed to calculate the sample design and survey participation. The surveying system was presented by classifying the measurement environment, screening, and survey items by year, and the merits and limitations of using the data were suggested by examining the status of survey quality management and the process of disclosing raw data. Results: This nationally representative cross-sectional survey samples approximately 10,000 individuals each year and collects information on oral examinations and oral health interviews. Data for the oral health component of KNHANES was obtained to assess the oral health status of Koreans and determine the prevalence of dental caries and periodontitis. The oral health data quality control of KNHANES was composed of three parts: "Education Program" and "Field Training Program" for quality control of oral health examiners (dentists) by the professional academy, and "Data management" by the KCDC. After completion of the three-step data check, the indicators of dental caries, periodontal disease, and oral health behavior were published in the National Health Statistics. Conclusions: To achieve the goals of oral health indicators, we will continue to monitor so that we can use it as basic data for oral policies and carry out various linkage analyses related to oral diseases.
