Although global construction spending has experienced slow growth due to consecutive economic crises, global contractors have consistently attempted to expand their overseas market share, leading to more intense competition among contractors in the international construction market. In this market environment, owners, clients and financial institutions require reasonable and systematic criteria to effectively assess the business capabilities of international construction firms. However, the existing evaluation methods for construction firms rarely consider overseas-focused business capabilities. To address this problem, this study proposes a quantitative approach to assessing the overseas business capabilities of international construction firms. The limitations of existing approaches are reviewed, and the capabilities required to perform overseas businesses are analyzed through expert interviews. Finally, 18 evaluation indices are suggested in four categories: technology resources, project management, experience and performance, and sustainability. The relative weight of each index is determined according to the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, and a preliminary investigation of 11 Korean construction firms is conducted. The proposed method is expected that it will provide the rational criteria for international owners, clients, and financial institutions for decision-making and for evaluating international contractors.

Various construction bonds and warranties critically burden the general contractor. Also, sporadic or cumulative delays of progress payment by the owner can further trap the contractor in a financial quagmire. Facing the possibility of cash flow deficiency and callous response from the banks, most construction firms may become financially incapable of market competition, and attractive project tenders become a bidding game among few deep-pocket players. The downside of such market environment is that the depth of pocket, rather than that of professional competency dictates the choice of market winners. In Taiwan, this has been a potential crisis to the construction industry after the financial crisis which started out since 2008. To encounter this problem, this research will examine the means to better manage the construction industry. Essentially, a credit guarantee system (CGS) is the prime solution to strengthen a bank's confidence in any particular construction firm. Thus establishing a national platform which evaluates and rewards a construction firm's overall credibility is pivotal, and this third-party rated credit can help a bank to render a loan more wisely. Finally, this paper will propose the ideal operating schemes of construction-specific CGS in Taiwan and a credit scoring prototype model for construction industry, as reference for the government and banks, respectively.

From several socioeconomic perspectives, the present health crisis can be connected to the 2008 financial and economic catastrophe. Governments worldwide are working hard to keep the markets in check, as evidence suggests that the health crisis may soon become an economic crisis. This paper aims to analyze the effect of COVID-19 on the selected stock market. Using a panel of daily COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths and the stock market from 22 developing countries, we exploit an oil price as a shock to the stock market and examine the effect of COVID-19 on the slowdown of the stock market. We find a negative and significant impact of COVID-19 on the stock market in the first stage till April. However, there is no net influence on the stock market downturn when we extend the period. However, further study suggests that the outbreak's negative influence on the selected stock market has diminished and has begun to decline as of mid-April. As a result of the COVID-19 effect on the chosen stock, our findings imply that the government in the chosen market should consider a regulatory mechanism to reduce the stock market slowdown induced by the pandemic COVID-19.

Recently, financial service industry of Korea started to pay attention to private banking targeting to the rich. However, as the advanced foreign competitors have entered the market, strategic approaches are needed focusing on the general rich rather than the exceptional VIPs. In this paper, we use QFD to provide marketing strategies for Korean financial service providers. Our finding is that ‘intangible service provided by private banker’ and ‘off-line sales’ have marketing priority and ‘investment management’ and ‘value-added service’ follow.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the information content of commercial paper credit rating changes of Korean firms. The result shows neither sinificant daily abnormal returns nor significant cumulative daily abnormal returns over the test window. This ind icates that commercial paper rating changes are not informative to investors. A sensitivity analysis conducted for the portfolio of subsample shows a similar result. This thesis, however, may contribute to the better operation of Korean financial market by providing several directions to establish credit-based financial transactions.

본 논문은 외환시장의 효율성과 노이즈 트레이더 모델에 관해 고찰하며, 별도의 실증분석을 수행하지는 않지만 비효율적인 외환시장에서 통화의 가격결정 메커니즘에 대해 노이즈 트레이더 모형의 적용가능성을 분석함으로써 향후 연구방향을 제시하고자 한다. 본 논문과 관련해 의미 있는 또 하나의 연구방향으로는 외환시장에서 정부의 역할이 있다. 정부가 특정한 수준으로 통화를 유지하거나, 정책 목적을 위해 통화를 특정한 수준으로 변경시키기 위한 노력의 일환으로 외환시장에 자주 개입하는 것은 분명하다. 이러한 정부의 역할은 그 자체로는 분명히 노이즈 트레이딩이 아니지만, 외환시장에 대한 영향으로 보면 노이즈 트레이딩과 크게 다르지 않을 것이다. 합리적인 차익거래자, 노이즈 트레이더 및 중앙은행을 통합하는 모델을 개발하고 검증하는 것은 외환시장의 메커니즘을 이해하는데 많은 도움이 될 것이다.

The optimal portfolio selection problem under inflation risk and subsistence constraints is considered. There are index bonds to invest in financial market and it helps to hedge the inflation risk. By applying the martingale method, the optimal consumption rate and the optimal portfolios are obtained explicitly. Furthermore, the quantitative effect of inflation risk and subsistence constraints on the optimal polices are also described.

본 논문은 5대 재벌 계열사들의 투자행태를 분석하였다. 5대 재벌 계열사들을 상장기업과 비 상장기업으로 나누어 분석하면 비상장기업의 투자는 내부현금흐름에 영향을 받고 상장기업에 비해 계열사 현금흐름에 영향을 받는 정도가 큰 것으로 나타나고 있다. 5대 재벌 계열사들을 종속기업과 비종속기업으로 나누어 분석하면 종속회사의 투자가 비종속회사에 비해 계열회사 현금흐름에 영향을 받는 정도가 큰 것으로 나타나고 없다. 본 논문의 분석결과는 5대 재벌의 경우 비상장회사와 종속회사가 다른 계열사들로부터 자금지원을 받는 형태로 내부금융시장이 작동하고 있다는 것을 보여주고 있다.

We propose a stochastic delay financial model which describes influences driven by historical events. The underlying is modeled by stochastic delay differential equation (SDDE), and the delay effect is modeled by a stopping time in coefficient functions. While this model makes good economical sense, it is difficult to mathematically deal with this. Therefore, we circumvent this model with similar delay effects but mathematically more tractable, which is by the backward time integration. We derive the option pricing equation and provide the option price and the perfect hedging portfolio.

Korea Credit Guarantee Fund(KODIT) is a public financial institution under the provision of the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund Act. Facing the waves of change both locally and globally, KODIT will serve as 'social value creator' in making a paradigm shift from a large corporation(Conglomerate-dominated) economy to a social enterprise-oriented one based on social economy. This study focuses on the supporting service programs for social enterprises and job creation how it affects the performance of social value creation of KODIT. There is currently no detailed research of the social value in terms of the business and management academic agenda. Therefore, the present study describes the importance of social value creation on the policy financial institution. This study conducted in-depth case study for social value performance. As a public policy financial institution, KODIT exert diverse efforts to correct market failure and achieve inclusive growth. For example, KODIT extends credit guarantee services for the liabilities of promising corporations and stimulates financial and non-financial supporting programs for social enterprises. Although the role of social value and social economy has gained business field attention, few investigations have been conducted to explain how social value is achieved. The present study can thus act as the foundation for exploring the social value creation in the circumstances of public financial institution.
