Capital inflows have a strong presence that influences destination countries' development of institutions, which can in turn help resuscitate a stopped economy and re-attract capital that was lost during crises such as the recent public health crisis. While the previous literature emphasizes the mechanism that foreign investors press or even threaten the local government for change, this paper explores empirically whether institutional improvement can be achieved through the channel that host countries voluntarily reform institutions in anticipation of potential investments predicted by the exogenous geographical and cultural characteristics of the recipient countries. Given that countries with better institutional quality can accumulate larger FDI stocks, we still find that the need for more FDI, in contrast to FPI and debt, gives higher incentives to host countries to strategically improve their institutions before seeking capital overseas. Moreover, the predicted FDI exerts more prominent impacts on institutions on constraining elite than those involved in launching a business, enforcing contracts, and protecting properties. The results imply that a long-run plan for upgrading elite constraint institutions is crucial for a post-pandemic FDI reboot.

한국의 벤처캐피탈은 투자규모가 세계적인 수준이나 창업초기단계 벤처기업에 대한 투자가 미흡하고 첨단기술 분야 및 수도권에 투자가 집중된 데다 신규상장 및 M&A 시장의 높은 진입장벽 등으로 벤처캐피탈의 투자자금 회수 등이 어려운 상황이다. 첨단기술 벤처기업의 경우 투자자와 벤처기업간 정보의 비대칭성으로 투자자금 조달에 어려움을 겪을 수 있으나 벤처금융 선진국은 정부 자금지원시 시장과 민간투자자와의 연계, 해외 저명 벤처캐피탈사와의 공동투자 유도 등 다양한 유인설계(incentive mechanism design)를 통해 동 문제를 해결하고 있다. 이러한 점들을 감안하여 우리 정부 및 지자체는 민간부문과의 공동펀드 확대, 지역별로 특화된 매칭펀드 조성, M&A 등 벤처캐피탈사의 출구경로 다양화 등을 통해 창업벤처생태계를 개선하는 데 주력할 필요가 있으며, 벤처캐피탈사도 외국 벤처캐피탈사와의 공동투자 등을 통해 투자대상 기업선정 및 가치증대 활동에 노력을 경주할 필요가 있다.

본 논문은 직접투자를 실시하고 있는 2 국 2 기업모델을 이용하여 다국적 기업의 R&D 활동을 자국에 유치하기 위한 정부의 보조금 정책에 대해서 분석을 하였다. 일반적으로 다국적 기업의 R&D 활동에는 경쟁기업의 기술력을 높이는 파급효과 있으며 다국적 기업은 경쟁기업으로부터 파급효과를 얻기 위해서 자회사에 R&D 자원을 투입하여 R&D 활동을 실시하는 유인을 가진다. 또한 정부는 다국적 기업의 기술력을 향상시키는 목적으로 다국적 기업이 자국의 자회사에 투입하는 R&D 자원을 증가하도록 다국적 기업의 R&D 투자에 대해서 보조금 정책을 실시하여 자국내의 R&D 활동을 유치하는 동기를 가진다. 따라서 양국정부는 다국적 기업의 R&D 투자에 대해서 보조금을 지급하고 R&D 투자에 경쟁을 촉진함으로써 기업이 자회사에 투입하는 R&D 자원량은 증가하며 기술력은 상승한다. 또한 기업의 이윤증가와 함께 소비자의 경제후생에도 영향을 주며 양국은 상대국 기업의 R&D 활동에 의해서 경제적 이익을 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 양국정부가 상호협조적인 전략으로 기업의 R&D 활동에 대해서 보조금을 증대시키는 정책에 의해 기업이 자회사에 투입하는 R&D 자원은 증가하며 양국의 경제적 이익이 증가하게 된다.

Purpose - A financial crash triggers asset fire sales by foreign investors and, as a consequence, the price of domestic assets severely decreases. Domestic investors take advantage of these low prices by replacing foreign assets with domestic assets, which helps to alleviate the liquidity shock caused by foreigners. However, is the amount of capital retrenchment by domestic investors sufficient to protect the Korean economy from capital stop by foreign investors during financial crisis? This paper answers this question and suggests the implications of this phenomenon for the Korean economy. Design/methodology - We estimate the associations between capital stop and retrenchment and various financial crises such as banking, currency, debt, and inflation crises using the complementary log-log model. Specifically, we use data of gross capital flows to differentiate between the role of foreign and domestic investors in financial markets. Capital stop and retrenchment designate a sharp decrease in gross capital inflows and outflows, respectively. Findings - Capital stop is significantly associated with financial crises, especially currency and debt crises. This implies that increased risk aversion during times of financial turmoil encourages foreign investors to retrench their investments, worsening liquidity shocks. Conversely, capital retrenchment is not significantly associated with such crises. The results show that, although financial crises reduce gross capital outflows, the reduction is not as large as that with capital inflows. Originality/value - The contribution of this paper is threefold. First, this study investigates how domestic investors behave during times of financial distress by studying gross capital flows-not net capital flows. Second, we concentrate on sharp changes in capital flows during crises. Third, we examine the associations between capital stop and retrenchment and financial crises in general, not specific events.

Recently, Southeast Asian people, its food, natural sceneries and so on have been increasingly exposed to Korean people through mass media and multi-cultural events. At the same time, Koreans can frequently encounter Southeast Asians in their everyday lives. Thus, specific images and discourses of Southeast Asia has been established in our society, which creates a new social trend called 'Southeast Asia phenomena'. In short, 'Southeast Asia phenomena' means a totality of Korean people's experience of Southeast Asian and their perception on the region. On the one hand, 'Southeast Asia phenomena' is a result of inflow of Southeast Asians and their culture into Korea. On the other hand, it is also a consequence of Korean people's understanding of Southeast Asia from their trip to Southeast Asia or from their interactions with Southeast Asian people. This article aims to analyze the origin and diffusion of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' in Korea in the context of Southeast Asia focusing on 4 topics, that is, migrant workers, overseas investments, retirement migration, study-abroad categorized as human movement. This article is also about a country-by-country comparative analysis both at the macro level and the micro level. At the macro level, overseas investments and trade, human exchanges, positive perception to Koreans which considered to be the structural causes become a strong mechanism playing a important bridge role between Korea and Southeast Asia. So these create the high probability of the emergence of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' At the micro level which is more direct causes of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena', the economic cause is the most important common cause for 4 Southeast Asian Phenomena. Additionally, Korean wave is also remarkable common cause creating 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' even it is not the origin in the context of Southeast Asia. The diffusion of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' is different by the topics and the elements contributing to create the favorable situation for the diffusion are not only overseas investments and trade, human exchanges at the macro level but also policy elements at the micro level. The relative differences of the causes of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' in the country-by-country analysis are found. Regarding overseas investments in Vietnam and Cambodia, the economic degree of freedom in Cambodia is higher than in Vietnam. Even Korean Wave has had the longer history in Vietnam, but the favorable perspectives on Korean Wave are stronger in Cambodia. For migrant workers from Vietnam and Indonesia, the economic causes in Vietnam are more significant than in Indonesia. The impact of Korean Wave is stronger in Vietnam than in Indonesia. In case of study-abroad, the social-cultural elements and policy elements are more diverse in Malaysia than in Korea. For the Korean retirees who immigrate to the Philippines and Malaysia, the economic causes in the Philippines is more significant in Malaysia.

본 논문에서는 2008년부터 2014년까지 거래소에 상장된 물류기업을 대상으로 물류기업의 지배구조가 기업가치에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 실증분석 한다. 한국의 대규모 기업집단들은 외국과 달리 독특하게 물류서비스를 전문적으로 제공하는 물류기업을 자회사로 두고 있다. 더욱이 이들 집단 내 출자형태에 있어서도 피라미드 구조 및 상호출자구조로 되어 있어 대주주의 직접적인 지배를 받을 뿐만 아니라 간접적으로도 통제를 받는 것이 특징이다. 가족기업 내의 물류기업의 경우에도 계열사들이 생산한 제품의 물류를 담당하여 기업집단 내 거래에 활용함으로써 물류기업은 대주주가 지배하고 있는 기업집단의 이익을 증가시키는 효과가 존재한다. 이러한 독특한 구조를 가진 한국기업집단 내 물류기업의 소유지배구조가 기업가치에 어떻게 영향을 주고 있는지 실증분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 내부자 지분율 및 외국인 투자자 지분율이 기업가치에 정의 유의적인 영향을 준다는 결과를 발견하였다. 이러한 결과는 물류기업 영업활동이 대규모 기업집단 내 계열사의 운송관련 서비스를 제공함으로써 물류 기업의 소유지배구조가 기업가치에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있음을 의미한다. 이상의 연구결과는 물류산업이라는 특정산업을 대상으로 지배구조와 기업가치의 관계를 연구함으로써 기존의 지배구조 연구의 폭을 넓힐 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper measures the economic impacts of the U.S. port investment strategies coping with the Panama Canal expansion. Using secondary import data, negative and positive estimates of the impacts were presented in this study. Reduced port activities into the West Coast Customs Districts negatively affect transportation and warehousing industries, among other effects. Still, they have simultaneous positive effects in other states from increased imports resulting from modal shifts and changes in the entry port located in the South and East coasts. This study applied the supply-driven National Interstate Economic Model that measures all interstate trade among the U.S. states to divert foreign imports from 15 Pacific Rim countries. For this purpose, the following assumption was adopted: larger ships using the canal will lead to a redirection of seaborne trade among U.S. (and other) ports and result in secondary effects, e.g., using different freight modes and regional growth spillovers. This study also accounted for the entry point change and significant port investments for foreign trade under alternative scenarios. The choice of ports for international trade depends on decisions about how to minimize multimodal delivery costs. The total direct reduction of transportation and warehousing activities associated with foreign imports in the West Coast ports was estimated at $3.3 billion, leading to total negative effects of $5.8 billion. Total positive impacts from the shift of transportation modes with the choice of an entry port and new warehousing activities for foreign imports in the selected 12 states varied. As expected, states that involved an entry port had the most prominent benefits, but Texas, New York, and New Jersey may be benefited through all the port enhancement projects in the U.S. Also, except for Transportation and Postal, and Warehousing industries, Construction is another dominant positive affected industry of the Canal expansion in the U.S.

The commercial relationship between South and North Korea is defined under the concept of economic relation and cooperation. To resolve any dispute that can arise from the trade and investment relations between South and North Korea, 'Agreement on the Procedures to Resolve Commercial Arbitration of South-North Korea' came into force in August 2003. Commercial Arbitration Committee of South-North Korea will be organized as the member lists of the committee were exchanged in July 2006 between South and North Korea. This committee must become a central system to settle the trade and investment disputes between South and North Korea. North Korea's Foreign Economic Arbitration Act was enacted to provide the foreign investors with the safe measures in their investments such as dispute resolution. But this Act can not dispute the trade and investment disputes between South and North Korea. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the activation of arbitration between South and North Korea by studying Commercial Arbitration Committee of South-North Korea introduced by Agreement on the Procedures to Resolve Commercial Arbitration of South-North Korea and Agreement on the Construction and Operation of Commercial Arbitration Committee of South-North Korea and finding the problems and solutions of Commercial Arbitration Committee of South-North Korea.
