The purpose of this study was to analyze decision-making regarding ship finance term selection from the behavioral finance perspective and to confirm if the causes and backgrounds of decision-making related to the term selection of ship finance are explicitly explained by behavioral finance theories. Additionally, through a case study, this study infers if decisions are irrational. Narrative and questionnaire responses on the selection of the ship finance period were obtained and analyzed from the behavioral finance perspective. Some shipping companies incur additional losses by choosing inappropriate ship-financing terms. This study applied behavioral finance theories, such as the certainty effect, availability heuristic, and loss aversion, to clearly explain the causes and background of such decision-making. Based on the results, it was found that behavioral finance theories impact ship financing decisions and errors related to behavioral finance can result in irrational decisions. Ship finance managers must be vigilant in preventing behavioral finance errors that can affect the decision-making term of ship finance.

This study analyzed the decision-making process in ship finance for the choice between fixed and floating interest rates using behavioral finance theories. Results confirmed that causes and background of decision-making processes could be explicitly explained by the framework of behavioral finance theories. This study also determined whether decisions were irrational. A case-study research was applied as the methodology. Decision-making data on ship finance collected through narrative and questionnaire responses were analyzed and evaluated using behavioral finance theories. Theories of behavioral finance used in the analysis and research of this study included availability heuristic, anchoring effect, and opportunity cost theory. Narrative and survey responses were clearly explained by theories of behavioral finance. It was found that a shipping company suffered additional losses owing to decisions that included behavioral finance errors. Behavioral finance theories largely influenced the decision-making process of choosing between a fixed interest rate and a floating interest rate. Shipping finance decisions related to interest rate selections could be clearly explained by behavioral finance theories. Errors related to behavioral finance could result in irrational decisions. Thus, managers who are responsible for shipping finance should remain vigilant toward any behavioral finance errors when making shipping finance decisions.

Project finance ("PF") is a method of raising long-term debt financing based on lending against the cash flow generated by the project alone. Project finance is a nonrecourse or limited recourse financing structure against the sponsors(or the investors). The debt terms in a project finance are not based on the creditor's credit support or on the value of the assets of the project. Lenders rely on the future cash flow to be generated by the project for debt repayment and interest, rather than the value of the project or the credit ratings of the sponsors. The non-recourse or limited recourse financing usually prompt potential project finance lenders to assess carefully all possible risks that might arise in a project to ensure that those risks are mitigated and controlled. In this respect, project finance is a opposite financing method of corporate finance. Project finance has rapidly grown over the last 20 years due to the worldwide process of privatization of public sector and development of natural resources. Global project finance volume reached the record USD 406.5 billion in 2011. In 2012, however, Global project finance volume dropped 6% to USD 382.3 billion. Infrastructure overtook Energy to lead all sectors with USD 113.6 billion. It is generally recognized that there are more and higher risks in project finance compared with corporate finance. Project finance is exposed to commercial risks as well as political risks. The main commercial risks are completion risks, environmental risks, operating risks, input supply risks, revenue risks, etc, and the main political risks are currency convertibility and transfer risks, expropriation risks, war and civil disturbance risks, risks of breach of government concession agreement, etc. Completion risks include permits risks, risks relating to the EPC Contractor, construction cost overrun, delay in completion, inadequate performance on completion, etc.

현재 정보통신기술의 비약적인 발전은 물리적인 거래 패러다임을 전자방식으로 확대시키는 극적인 변화를 주도하고 있다. 주지하는 바와 같이, 금융서비스는 거래당사자간 대부분의 금융거래를 지원하고 있다. 그러므로 전자거래의 확대는 금융서비스를 제공하는 모든 금융기관들에도 영향을 미치고 있다. 이에 따라 모든 금융기관들은 정쟁에서 살아남기 위해 e-Finance 시스템을 도입하여 인터넷금융 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 이용자측면에서 인터넷을 이용한 e-Finance의 이용 실태와 확산요인을 분석함으로써 e-Finance 고객서비스의 질적인 향상과 신속한 확산 그리고 올바른 전략 수립에 기여하는 것이다. 본 연구는 기존문헌 검토와 요인 및 신뢰도 분석을 통해 e-Finance 자체에 대한 지각된 효율성과 지각된 신뢰 및 안전성, e-Finance 시스템에 대한 신뢰도, 기술적 요소, 고객서비스 품질 그리고 개인특성에 있어 혁신성향 등 6가지를 확산요인으로 채택한다. 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용한 가설 검증 결과에 따르면, e-Finance시스템에 있어서 기술적 요소와 고객서비스 품질 그리고 개인 특성에 있어 혁신성향은 e-Finance의 확산여부에 각각 유의수준 0.05와 0.01%에서 통계적으로 정의 영향을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 그렇지만 e-Finance 자체에 대한 지각된 효율성과 지각된 신뢰 및 안전성은 이의 확산여부에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 e-Finance 시스템과 관련하여 시스템의 신뢰도는 통계적으로 이의 확산에 유의적이지 못하였다. 본 연구는 추후 이용자 측면에서 e-Finance 확산요인에 관해 실증적 연구를 하는데 기본적인 자료로서 이용될 수 있고, 이에 대한 기업이나 정부의 정책 수립 또는 구현과 금융기관의 고객서비스 품질정도 결정에 이용될 수 있다. 그러나 본 연구는 만족요인과 이의 e-Finance에 대한 영향을 다루지 못했다는 점과 국내 이용자만을 대상으로 했다는 점 그리고 다중희귀분석을 실시하지 못했다는 점 등 몇 가지 한계를 갖는다.

Purpose - This study analyzes the scope of due diligence and risks of banks and K-Sure in trade finance covered by EFF focusing on Moneual case, one of the latest and biggest trade finance fraud cases in Korea. Also, we suggest anti-fraud measures in trade finance on the part of banks and K-Sure in order to give them a desirable way of due diligence and reasonable risk management of export insurance. Design/methodology - Based on Moneual case of trade finance fraud, this study employs the methodology of an extended literature review and analysis of court decisions. Findings - Seoul High Court of Korea failed to decide whether K-Sure was wholly obliged to pay the insurance against the banks' EFF claims, but issued a compulsory mediation order, judging that both the banks and K-Sure were responsible by 50:50. The court may have judged that both the parties had lacked their due diligence in the trade finance. It is quite difficult for trade finance providers to manually investigate whether the transaction is suspected of trade finance fraud, so digitalization of trade finance which can facilitate the prevention and detection of trade fraud needs to be realized quickly. Since there has been no international rule available for open account trade finance up till now, clearly stipulated EFF terms on the exporter's genuine export obligation might have protected K-Sure from the disaster. Originality/value - This study investigates the due diligence of the banks and K-Sure in Moneual case which few researchers have considered, to the best of our knowledge. This study also suggests several practical methods (including block chain) to prevent complicating trade finance fraud amid increasing use of an open account, and further offers reasonable risk management of EFF employing international factoring rule which is also related to problematic open account trade finance.

Trade finance promotes export performance, and every small- and medium-sized export business has the right to use policy finance. The credit line is also stipulated by relevant laws and regulations. However, trade finance has repeatedly been misused, so these matters can lead to substantial financial loss and damage to the related financial institutions. The lack of expertise of K-SURE and the backwardness of banks represent even bigger problems in the follow-up management. The existing trade finance system should be improved in the following ways from the institutional and legal perspectives. Firstly, follow-up management of beneficiary companies should be reinforced and systematized through examining business tendencies, financial status, and other important factors. There is also a need for advancement of following up management. An effective and streamlined financing system must be established by abolishing the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation. This study presents improvements and their implications by looking into the main issues under the current trade finance system. This study is based on documentary research and practical cases.
