This paper measures the extent of comovements in stock returns between Korea and three major countries (China, Japan and the U.S.) using industry-level data for Korea from 2003 to 2016 in the spirit of the international capital asset pricing model. It also examines what drives the comovements between Korea and the three countries. We find that the comovements of Korean stock returns with those of the U.S. and Japan became smaller after the global financial crisis. In contrast, the comovement in stock returns between Korea and China became larger after the crisis. After an additional analysis, we conclude that trade linkage is the main driver of the comovements between Korea and the three countries.

이 연구는 중국의 공항 중 인천의 허브화 전략의 경쟁공항인 베이징공항(수도), 상하이공항(푸동)을 대상으로 지분매각, 지배구조, 공항운영 및 시설확충 등에 관한 사례를 분석한다. 세계 주요공항의 전략적 허브화 경쟁이 가속화되면서, 인천공항은 급변하는 경영환경에 대처하고 무한경쟁에서 생존하기 위하여 경영 패러다임의 전환이 시급하다. 그 일환으로 공항에 대한 대내외적 혁신요구에 적극 대응하는 새로운 소유구조와 지배구조 및 운영효율화 방안을 모색하여야 한다. 공항의 일반적인 민영화 방안에는 기업거래(trade sale), 기업공개(IPO), 영업허가, 경영위탁, 프로젝트 파이낸싱의 5가지가 있다. 세계 공항산업의 동향과 함께 중국의 경쟁공항의 민영화와 관련하여 지분매각 및 이후의 지배구조에 초점을 맞추어 인천공항의 일부 지분매각과 지배구조, 공항개발 및 운영 등의 주요 의사결정에 대한 시사점을 도출한다. 인천공항이 동북아허브로서 성장하기 위해서는 공항시설 확충을 위한 재원을 조달하여야 하며, 운영 효율성의 강화가 필요하다. 공공성의 보장을 위해 공기업 형태를 유지하되, 민영화의 장점을 살리기 위해, 정부가 51% 이상의 지분을 보유하는 부분 민영화를 하되, 기업 가치를 극대화하기 위해 기업거래와 기업공개를 함께 활용하되 전략적으로 그 속도와 시기를 결정하여야 한다.

Banking is very regulated by the government and even has to follow regulations issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, which regulates banking in the world. According to Basel III, banks must provide capital reserves called capital buffers. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that determine capital buffer. Factors thought to affect the capital buffer studied consisted of profitability (ROA), credit risk (NPL), liquidity risk (LDR), capital adequacy in the previous period (CARt-1), management risk (NIM), and ratio of operating risk (OER). The population in this study is conventional banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, as many as 42 banks, with a sample of 40 banks taken by purposive sampling method with an observation period of four years with quarterly data (2016-2019). To test the hypotheses, regression panel data is used. After being tested, it turns out that the fixed effect model is better than the common effect and random effect. The results of the study with fixed effect models show that ROA, NPL, and OER significantly and negatively affect capital buffer. CAR_t-1 has a positive and significant effect on capital buffer, while LDR and NIM do not affect capital buffer.

Intellectual Capital, a valuable intangible organizational asset, is primarily linked to a company's financial performance and is divided into three categories: human, structural, and relational capital. This paper investigates the impact of intellectual capital on the financial performance of selected Pakistani companies in the Information and Communication sector, as this sector is heavily reliant on intellectual capital. The data for 11 firms was gathered from the State Bank's Financial Statements Analysis of Companies Listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2020. Pulić's (2004) Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAICTM) has been used to assess a company's IC efficiency. VAIC^TM and its components, the efficiency of intellectual capital, and the efficiency of capital employed are calculated. Financial performance is measured through return on assets, return on capital employed, and asset turnover ratio. Multiple regression, fixed-effect, and random-effect Panel Data estimation are used in the empirical study. The findings suggest that intellectual capital efficiency has a large impact on major profitability metrics, but little effect on company productivity. It can be inferred from the results that the companies must invest in advanced technology, the latest machinery, and well-equipped offices to improve financial performance and productivity and gain a competitive advantage.

Since the global financial crisis in 2008, the world economy has been suffering from the Great Recession characterized by high and persistent unemployment as well as drastic fall in asset prices. Real business cycle theory or new-Keynesian economics which has been the dominant paradigm in macroeconomics for the last four decades is unable to explain the high and persistent unemployment during the Great Recession. This implies that the economics of Keynes should be taken seriously again as a tool to explain the Great Recession. Farmer (2012) proposes a new way of interpreting the economics of Keynes by providing it with a solid micro-foundation based on labor markets with search. According to Farmer (2012), aggregate economic activity independently depends on the long-term self-fulfilling expectations about the stock prices. As a consequence, the government or the central bank should implement a policy that influences the public's confidence about the stock market. For an open economy like the Korean economy, it is not only stock price but also the price of asset such as house that matters more for the aggregate economic activity. Households in the Korean economy hold more than 70 percent of their wealth in the form of real estate asset, especially housing asset. This makes the public's confidence about the future prices of houses even more important in explaining the business cycles of the Korean economy. Policymakers should implement policies to improve the confidence of households about the housing market to recover from the recession caused by a fall in house prices. Little theoretical work has been done in explaining fluctuations in the aggregate economic activity from the point of house prices. This paper develops a small open economy model with traded and non-traded capital based on Farmer (2012) and shows that the aggregate economic activity also independently depends on the households' self-fulfilling expectations about the future prices of non-traded asset such as houses.

The popularity of Islamic financial instruments among Muslims is not surprising. The Islamic capital market is where sharia-compliant financial assets are transacted. It works parallel to the conventional market and helps investors find sharia-compliant investment opportunities. At a time of collective confusion when the COVID-19 epidemic is contributing to unprecedented change, this paper is keen to understand how attractive conventional and Islamic stock markets have been to investors recently. Second, this paper takes advantage of the time-scale decomposition property of the wavelet to simultaneously capture risk exposure and distinguish the risks faced by short- and long-term investors. To this end, this research conducted a two-step investigation of the daily closing equity market price indices for three Islamic stock markets and their conventional counterparts. Given that different financial decisions occur with greater or less frequency, the paper examines the connectedness of stock markets operating at heterogeneous rates and identifies the timescales using wavelet-DCC-GARCH analysis to take account of both the time and the frequency domains of stock market connectedness. The paper findings highlight the strong evidence of contagion that can be seen in nearly all conventional stock markets in the COVID-19 pandemic; they reach a high level of dependency in such health crises. Furthermore, Islamic stock markets prove to be a rich ground for global diversification.

The Islamic capital market in Indonesia is currently developing rapidly marked by the massive growth of sharia stock investors. It is followed by the development of an online sharia trading platform by stock brokerage companies so that investors can transact online sharia shares. From the number of existing stock investors, however, there are still very few Islamic stock investors who repurchase shares after the previous purchase. This really attracted the attention of researchers to investigate the repurchase intention of sharia share in the Indonesia stock market. 415 samples who are Islamic stock investors in the Indonesia stock market have filled out distributed questionnaires. Then, the data was processed using SEM Amos. The results of this study found that perceived enjoyment, perceived ease to use, and expectation have a positive and significant effect on investor satisfaction. Then, perceived enjoyment and expectation have a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention, while perceived ease to use has a negative and insignificant effect on repurchase intention, but has a positive effect through the mediating variable investor satisfaction. Investor satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention, and investor satisfaction is a good mediator for the exogenous variables in this study.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of corporate governance index on the cost of equity in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. This study collects data from 975 observations during the period 2012 to 2018 to test the hypotheses using multiple linear regression model for the panel data. In this research, the independent variable of corporate governance index comprises of 27 specific corporate governance attributes. The results of hypothesis testing showed that corporate governance has a negative and significant effect on the rate of capital cost. In other words, the quality of corporate governance can lower the rate of capital cost. This result suggests that, by using a powerful corporate governance system and by declining the information asymmetry (increasing transparency) and agency conflict, we would be able to enhance the quality of financial reports. It would strengthen the capital market, attract financial suppliers and investors, and absorb the required financial resources of the firm by a lower rate. The findings of the study suggest that companies are able to reduce the cost of equity by establishing strong corporate governance. This conclusion suggests the importance and effectiveness of corporate governance in the cost of equity.

As Islam supports fair trade, the Murabaha is the most popular and most common mode of Islamic financing. It is a contract of sale between the bank and its client for the sale of goods at a price plus an agreed profit margin for the bank. The contract involves the purchase of goods by the bank which then sells them to the client at an agreed mark-up. While their characteristics and values are unique, they are also subject to conventional measurement of efficacies. This study investigates how the primary health predictors of conventional banks under the Basel III regime could provide a positive means to assess the Murabaha funding and subsequently secure long-term profitability. This study constructed a path analysis (from 120 databases) to assess whether Islamic banks' leverage and capital adequacy may alter the Murabaha funding and increase stock equity directly and indirectly. The research findings are mixed where leverage does not alter the Murabaha funding but only affects the profitability; besides, capital adequacy increases the outgoing funding significantly but does not increase stock equity. Murabaha funding is essential to Islamic bank equity. This study implies Murabaha funding are expensed, despite increasing debts in Islamic banks.

현대에서의 부가가치 창출의 원천은 물자(Material)에서 사람(Man)의 부가가치 창출력으로 변천되어 왔으며, 생산수단의 소유가 특정의 지주, 자본가에서 부가가치 창출능력을 보유한 사람에게로 전환되었다. 기업의 노동자가 기업의 부가가치를 현저히 증대시켰을 경우에 단순한 이익에 참여하는 이익분배제나 성과인센티브제를 넘어서는 참여제도의 도입에 대한 검토가 필요하며, 자본 편중의 문제를 해소하고 자본주의의 안정적인 발전을 위한 수단으로서 우리사주제의 도입은 필요하다. 우리사주제는 노동자로 하여금 우리사주조합을 통하여 해당 우리사주조합이 설립된 주식회사의 주식을 취득·보유하게 함으로써 노동자의 경제·사회적 지위향상과 노사협력 증진을 도모함을 목적으로 하고 있으나, 현실은 우리사주제가 노동자에 대한 보호가 미흡하여 목적한 바를 달성하지 못하고 있다. 우리사주의 취득이 복지의 관점에서 노동자의 우리사주 보유에 대한 복지영역에 대한 부분은 자본시장의 논리보다는 사회복지적 차원에 대한 것으로 적극적인 정부의 지원이 포함되어야 하고, 투자의 관점에서는 우리사주는 노동자들이 주식시장에서 주식을 소유하는 적극적인 투자의지와 전문적인 노력을 경주하는 것이 아니며, 따라서 노동자 우리사주를 취득하는 것을 '투자'로 보아서 투자자보호를 위한 규정을 적용하는 것은 타당하지 않다고 볼 것이다. 따라서 우리사주 취득시의 지원 및 규제완화방안으로 1. 세제지원과 같은 간접지원 방식에서 탈피하여 직접지원의 확대, 2. 우리나라의 우리사주조합이 사단의 성격으로 의제되고 있어, '투자'라는 측면에서 조합방식이 아닌 다양한 관리라는 측면에서 그 효과성이 낮은 실정으로 투자기구의 형태 다양성 추진과, 3. 회사 발행주식의 1%와 액면가 3억원 중 적은 금액이상의 주식을 보유한 사람은 대주주로 분류하여 우리사주의 조합원이 될 수 없도록 하고 있는 조합원 자격의 완화, 우리사주와 조합기금의 관리상의 위험 축소방안으로 장기간에 걸친 예탁에서 우리사주조합만이 기금을 관리하고, 우리사주 예탁기간 종료 후 우리사주를 조합 또는 회사가 관리하고 있으나 각 노동자별로 분할관리를 할 수 있도록 하여야 한다. 우리사주와 기금의 활용도 제고 측면에서 1. 우리사주는 예탁기간 중에는 대여를 하지 못하게 하고 있으나 엄격한 제한하에 대여를 허용함으로써 수익성을 향상시키고, 2. 사내복지기금의 활용용도를 우리사주의 손실보전에 사용할 수 있도록 하는 것과 활용도 제고와 우리사주의 환매제도 개선측면에서 비상장법인의 우리사주제의 활성화를 위하여 비상장회사의 환매의무를 규정하는 것 등의 개선방안 수립이 필요하다.
