This paper contributes to the ongoing controversy over price and volatility spillovers across countries by providing new evidence with the futures data of the S&P 500 and Nikkei 225 index futures contacts from January 3, 1990 to April 16, 1996. Based on the two-stage symmetric and asymmetric GARCH models we document that both the U.S. and the Japanese daytime returns significantly influence the subsequent overnight returns of the other market. We find no signs of volatility spillovers between two international markets with the symmetric model. However, with the asymmetric models, we find that the magnitude of foreign negative shocks are different from the positive ones. The findings generally suggest that the two markets are more sensitive to the bad news originating in the other market. This nature of transmission between two markets would have important implications to the arbitragers who are trying to exploit the short-term dynamics of price and volatility movements across two security markets.

본 논문에서는 기업특성변수를 고려하여 KOSPI 200을 구성하는 포함종목에 대응되는 대응 종목을 선정하고 두 집단간의 변동성차이를 비교 분석함으로써 KOSPI 200 선물거래가 주식시장의 변동성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석의 신뢰성을 높이기 위하여 개별기업의 체계적 위험, 시장가치, 회전율, 주가수준 등의 특성변수들을 통제하였으며 대외의존도가 높은 한국의 경제적 특성을 고려하여 환노출의 영향도 통제하였다. 분석결과는 KOSPI 200 선물거래는 현물거래의 제약요인을 줄여주어 현물시장의 효율성을 제고시키고 단기변동성의 증가를 가져오는 역할을 하지 못하였음을 보여준다. 선물거래 도입 이후 현물시장의 변동성은 상대적으로 감소하는 모습을 보이고 있으며 외환위기 이후에 들어서야 변동성이 증가하는 모습을 보이고 있다. 그러나 선물거래 도입 이후에 현물시장의 변동성과 자기상관에 나타난 변화는 시장마찰 요인에 크게 영향을 받고 있으며, 규제완화가 상당히 이루어진 외환위기 이후에는 포함종목의 변동성이 이전기간에 비해 상대적으로 큰 폭으로 증가하였으며 시장마찰요인에 의한 영향도 크게 개선된 것으로 나타나고 있다.

This paper investigates various channels through which liquidity can affect stock returns and examines whether behavioral explanation for liquidity risk is reasonable. First, we examine whether liquidity level (average liquidity) plays a significant role in determining asset returns. The result is consistent with the hypothesis that a stock with higher average illiquidity will have a higher expected return. Second, we focus on the argument that liquidity has a non-diversifiable systematic component. If systemic liquidity has a different impact across individual securities, a stock that is more sensitive to systematic liquidity will have a higher expected return. The results of various tests are inconsistent with each other, not completely supporting the argument. Finally, the intra-market tests in Korea support the behavioral explanation for the liquidity premium, and the effect is stronger in the liquidity level than in the liquidity beta related to systematic liquidity.

In a deregulated electricity generation market, the sufficient capacity of transmission lines will promote the competition among generation companies (Gencos). In this paper, we show that Gencos' possession of rights to collect congestion rents may increase the competition effects of the transmission lines. In order for concrete analysis on this effect, a simple symmetric market model is introduced. In this framework, introducing the transmission right to the Gencos has the same strategic effects as increasing the line capacity of the transmission line. Moreover, the amount of effectively increased line capacity is equal to the amount of the line rights. We also show that the asymmetric share of the financial transmission rights may result in an asymmetric equilibrium even for symmetric firms and markets. We also demonstrate these aspects in equal line rights model and single firm line rights model. Finally, a numerical example is provided to show the basic idea of the proposed paper.

본 논문은 Roll이 제시한 딜러시장에서의 함축스프레드의 의미를 한국증권시장에 적용하여 미국을 중심으로 한 딜러시장(dealer market)과 한국의 지정가주문형 공매(公賣)시장(auction market)의 형태를 간접적으로 비교하고 시장미시구조의 주가행태에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 또한 공매(公賣)시장에서의 Roll이 제시한 함축스프레드 모델의 의미를 확장 재분석했다. Roll의 모델을 한국시장에서 적용하여 실증한 결과 미국을 중심으로 한 딜러시장과 한국의 공매(公賣)시장의 시장미시구조는 근본적으로 패턴의 차이가 없었다. 실증분석한 결과 함축스프레드는 거래량에 반비례하고 수익률의 분산이 크면 추정 함축스프레드가 큼을 확인하였다. Roll이 제시한 딜러시장의 추정된 함축스프레드는 실제 스프레드 자체에 의한 영향일 수도 있지만 이 보다는 일차적으로 거래량이나 거래빈도(trading thinness) 같은 시장 유동성위험 및 충격요인이 관측된 실제 거래주가가 이론적인 균형가에서 벗어나게 작용한 요인의 결과일 수도 있다.

We examine which traditional asset pricing variables together with bank-specific accounting variables explain the cross-sectional variation of future bank stock returns, using a firm-level data of eight Asian countries. Our empirical evidence shows that exchange rate risk, firm size, the book-to-market ratio, and the net income ratio are important in explaining future bank stock returns during normal times. However, during the Global Financial Crisis period, different variables such as local market beta, illiquidity risk, equity ratio, and off-balance sheets ratio were statistically significant. Thus, researchers and policy practitioners should monitor these variables during normal times as well as during times of crisis.

Recently, there is a growing body of literature that suggests that information inefficiency is one of the causes of the asymmetric volatility. If this explanation for the asymmetric volatility is appropriate, then innovations, such as the introduction of futures, may be expected to impact the asymmetric volatility of stock market. As transaction costs and margin requirements in the futures market are lower than those in the spot market, new information is transmitted to futures prices more quickly and affects spot prices through arbitrage trading with spots. Also, the merit of the futures market may attract noise traders away from the spot market to the futures market. This study examines the impact of futures on the asymmetry of stock market volatility. If the asymmetric volatility is significant lower post-futures and exist in the futures market, it has validity that the asymmetric volatility is caused by information inefficiency in the spot market. The data examined are daily logarithmic returns on KOSPI 200 stock price index from January 4, 1993 to December 26, 2000. To examine the existence of the asymmetric volatility in the futures market, logarithmic returns on KOSPI 200 futures are used from May 4, 1996 to December 26, 2000. We used a conditional mode of TGARCH(threshold GARCH) of Glosten, Jagannathan and Runkel(1993). Pre-futures the spot market exhibits significant asymmetric responses of volatility to news and post-futures asymmetries are significantly lower, irrespective of bear market and bull market. The results suggest that the introduction of stock index futures has an effect on the asymmetric volatility of the spot market and are inconsistent with leverage being the sole explanation of asymmetry. However, it is found that the volatility of futures is not so asymmetric as expected.

Technology competitiveness evaluates environmental and engineered technology and process at both the scientific and market levels. There are increasing concerns to measure the effects of the technology variables on the potential market feasibility levels. However, there are very little empirical analysis studies on that issue. This study investigates the impacts of technology variables on the levels of market feasibility based on 230 data obtained from Korea Technology Transfer Center. As various statistical analysis, the canonical discriminant model, logit discriminant model and classification model were used and their results were compared. This study results showed that major technology variables had very significant relations to discriminate high and low categories of market feasibility. Finally, this study will help building management strategies to level up the potential market performance and also help financial Institutions to decide funds needed for small-sized technology firms.

Since the early 1980's there has been explosive growth in the trading of financial derivatives, particularly in the OTC(over-the-counter) derivatives market. While the market has exploded in term; of growth, much of this activity is still conducted over the phone or fax. Currently, over 2,083 trillion Korean Wons are spent during 2003 by the OTC derivatives industry. XML provides an excellent framework for representing these highly structured products. FpML is the emerging XML-based tool for enabling e-Business in the OTC derivatives market. This paper discusses the application of FpML in building electronic platform designed to promote efficiencies for this market and propose the framework for STP(Straight Transaction Processing) system for OTC derivatives processing which can solve the problems with manual operations.
