This paper is aimed to explore the co-movement capital market in Southeast Asia and analysis the correlation of conventional and Islamic Index in the regional and global equity. This research become necessary to represent the risk on the capital market and measure market performance, as investor considers the volatility before investing. The time series daily data use from April 2012 to April 2020 both conventional and Islamic stock index in Malaysia and Indonesia. This paper examines the dynamics of conditional volatilities and correlations between those markets by using Multivariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (MGARCH). Our result shows that conventional or composite index in Malaysia less volatile than Islamic, but on the other hand, both drive correlation movement. The other output captures that Islamic Index in Indonesian capital market more gradual volatilities than the Composite Index that tends to be low in risk so that investors intend to keep the shares. Generally, the result shows a correlation in each country for conventional and the Islamic index. However, Internationally Indonesia and Malaysia composite and Islamic is low correlated. Regionally Indonesia's indices movement looks to be more correlated and it's similar to Malaysian Capital Market counterparts. In the global market distress condition, the diversification portfolio between Indonesia and Malaysia does not give many benefits.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of the family caregivers using a nursing home for their elderly family members. Method: Participants for this study were 1 man and 9 women caregivers. Data was collected through in-depth interviews from October, 2005 to April, 2006 and analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory methodology. Results: "Finding a way to live together" emerged as a core category and it reflected expanding consciousness allowing them to see each other in a more positive view. The basic social process of "finding a way to live together" includes 3 phases: 1) recognizing the problems, 2) finding solutions to the problems, and 3) accepting the changes in their surrounding. Lack of privacy, family troubles, extreme distress, and unavailable caregivers are reflected in the process of recognizing the problems. The process of finding solutions was making a decision, obtaining family agreement, choosing the best nursing home, and enduring the financial burden. Possible outcomes of the last phase include recovering peace of mind and continuing conflict. Conclusion: Findings from this study offer suggestions for developing a strategy to help not only the elderly but also the family caregivers.

This study explores the feasibility of activating private health insurance in Korea. The rationale for expanding private supplementary health insurance can be found in many cases of health care reforms in the European countries. Private health insurance can not only relieve the financial distress of the government health insurance programs but also offer the medical institutions incentives to improve the quality of medical care. In Korea there is no supplementary health insurance that reimburses for various kinds of diseases based on a well designed fee schedule. Recently, the cancer insurance is the best seller in the health related insurance market. As observed in the U. S. case, the cancer insurance which pays the predetermined amount (indemnity coverage) regardless of the medical charges incurred to the patient is limited in its coverage for the insured. To provide better protection against catastrophic diseases, the government should give insurance companies incentives to develop health insurance products that cover multiple diseases rather than a single disease. Consumers can hardly understand and compare complex insurance products. To resolve the information asymmetries, the government should publish a consumer report that compare various health insurance products in a user friendly way. In the long run, insurance companies will plan to sell health insurance products that charge risk related premium only when insurers accumulate the underwriting know-hows, the government shares data on various health statistics including claims and demographics, and risk pool for high risk patients is well established and subsidized by the government.

This study investigates the relationships of energy firm-level characteristics, namely; firm size, firm leverage, and firm performance with board diligence among companies listed in Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) for the periods ranging from 2012 to 2019. The final sample of this study consists of 32 firm-year observations. A quantitative approach was adopted to test 3 specific hypotheses developed for the board diligence model. Using the Pooled OLS regression, this study finds that firm size and firm performance are negatively associated with board diligence. The results of this study indicate an insignificant association of firm leverage with board diligence. Besides, firm performance is related negatively to board diligence. This indicates that the board of companies with poor performance increases the number of its meetings because of the increased pressure on the board to improve its oversight operations and address the severe performance challenges. The increased number of board meetings observe the daily management of the company, increase the chances for discussions concerning the performance challenges, and come up with solutions faster. The directors are also likely to encounter heightened pressure to appear more engaged during a company's financial distress since lenders require a meeting of the board or with the board.

Purpose: This paper considers the issue of corporate tax avoidance (CTA) in the distribution of the tax burden across companies in Vietnam because the high level of CTA leads to unfairness in taxation. In particular, we aim for discussing the way to measure the extent of CTA and explore the determinants of CTA that reflect the features of high-tax risk-taking companies. Research design, data and methodology: The study investigates factors influencing the CTA behavior of legal entities listed on the Vietnam stock market between 2012 and 2018 to fill the empirical research vacuum in the country. we employ the dynamic GMM estimate method. Interestingly, CTA is considered through three approaches, including two effective-tax-rate-based methods and especially accrual earnings Results: The results highlight tax - accounting book disparities have significant effects on CTA. In addition, firm size, net asset value, debt leverage, and tax-accounting books are related to CTA. Conclusions: Tax avoidance is shown to have a positive correlation with financial distress in this case. The higher a company's capital adequacy ratio, the fewer tax avoidance opportunities it has. The paper draws some recommendations to deal with tax avoidance that improves the fairness in the distribution of the tax burden among corporations.

To investigate the short-run effects of social capital on migration decisions of individuals in the rural areas of Vietnam, we conducted dataset mining and performed regression model analysis in the form of panel data. As control variables, we employed the variable of social capital, which is measured by an individual's network, as well as demographic characteristics of individuals and households. We discovered that when a household is in financial distress, social networks such as linkages or asking for aid from others often enhance individual capacity. Individuals with a large social network outside of their immediate area are more inclined to relocate to the location where their connectors live. Individual participation and degree of participation in the organizational community, on the other hand, have little bearing on the likelihood of migration. In addition, this research examines theories and empirical research on the relationship between social capital and migration. Based on our research findings, we have recommended some measures to boost the efficiency of social capital and migration in rural areas of Vietnam through local government solutions.

본 연구는 국내 중소기업을 대상으로 구조조정에 성공한 기업과 실패한 기업의 재무적 요인을 분석하였다. 연구에 필요한 표본은 2008~2014년 재무적 곤경으로 인해 금융기관 워크아웃을 개시한 494개의 중소기업 자료를 중소기업 지원 은행인 A은행으로부터 수집하여 로지스틱 회귀분석과 t-검정을 실시하였다. 아울러 분석자료의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해 외감기업과 비외감기업을 구분하여 추가분석 하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 중소기업 전체 표본의 경우 총자산규모가 작을수록, 매출액규모가 클수록, 무형자산비율이 낮을수록, 매출액영업이익률이 높을수록, 단기부채비율이 낮을수록, 장기부채비율이 높을수록, 그리고 업력이 길수록 등이 워크아웃 성공요인으로 작용되는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 외감기업과 비외감기업으로 구분하여 비교한 결과에서는 차이점이 발견되었다. 셋째, 중소기업을 대상으로 분석한 본 연구에서는 재무적 곤경에 처한 기업의 구조조정 결과(성공)에 영향을 미치는 재무적 요인 중 일부는 대기업 중심의 선행연구와 같은 결과를 보여주었지만, 일부는 전혀 의미가 없거나 반대 부호의 결과가 나타남으로써 중소기업만의 독특한 성공요인이 작용됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

통계에 의하면 국내 중소기업들은 자금조달의 대부분을 은행 대출에 의존하고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 그러나 담보가 없고 금융거래 이력도 부족한 소상공인들은 은행으로부터 대출을 받는데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 재무제표 등 은행에서 신용평가를 위하여 필요로 하는 정보를 제공하지 못하는 금융정보부족 (Thin File) 때문이다. 이러한 문제를 타개하기 위해서 최근 P2P 등 대안금융에서는 기존의 금융정보 대신 핀테크를 활용한 인구통계, 거래정보 등 차별화된 정보들을 이용하여 소규모 자금을 소상공인들에게 제공하는 새로운 신용평가기법들이 확산되고 있다. 이러한 환경 변화 패러다임 속에서 본 연구는 매출액 변동, 입지조건 등 상권정보에 기초한 빅데이터를 활용하여 소상공인들에게 자금공급을 확대할 수 있는 신용평가방안을 모색하고자 한다. 상권에서 발생하는 빅데이터를 실증적으로 분석함으로써 신용평가요소로서의 효과성을 검증하여 소상공인의 사업성 평가에 필요한 주요변수들을 도출하고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 2009년에서 2018년 2월까지 서비스업을 영위하는 서울시 소재 사업체 17,116건을 대상으로 사업체의 위치별로 발생하는 상권정보를 빅데이터 전문기업 NICE지니데이터(주)로부터 수집하여 표본을 구성하였다. 소상공인들에게서도 어렵지 않게 구할 수 있는 사업장의 입지 및 상권과 관련된 빅데이터를 수집 분석하여 이들 데이터가 기업의 부실화에 영향을 미치는가를 분석하였다. 기존에 활용되지 못한 빅데이터 변수들을 탐색하여 소상공인에 대한 효율적인 금융지원에 활용 가능성을 확인함으로써 대부분 정책자금이나 담보에 의존하여 이루어지는 소상공인대출이 일반 상업은행에서도 중소기업대출의 한 부문으로 비중 있게 이루어질 수 있도록 하기 위함이다. 본 연구는 근본적으로 정보비대칭 (Information Asymmetry)의 문제가 내재되어 있는 소상공인들의 자금조달에 관하여 전통적인 재무정보가 아닌 상권분석 변수들을 도출하고, 이 변수들이 신용평가에 효과성이 있는지 여부를 상권 빅데이터의 분석을 통하여 검증하였다는 점에서 연구의 차별성이 있다.

Objective: Prior functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) work has revealed that children/adolescents with disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) show dysfunctional reward/non-reward processing of non-social reinforcements in the context of instrumental learning tasks. Neural responsiveness to social reinforcements during instrumental learning, despite the importance of this for socialization, has not yet been previously investigated. Methods: Twenty-nine healthy children/adolescents and 19 children/adolescents with DBDs performed the fMRI social/non-social reinforcement learning task. Participants responded to random fractal image stimuli and received social and non-social rewards/non-rewards according to their accuracy. Results: Children/adolescents with DBDs showed significantly reduced responses within the caudate and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) to non-social (financial) rewards and social non-rewards (the distress of others). Connectivity analyses revealed that children/adolescents with DBDs have decreased positive functional connectivity between the ventral striatum (VST) and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) seeds and the lateral frontal cortex in response to reward relative to non-reward, irrespective of its sociality. In addition, they showed decreased positive connectivity between the vmPFC seed and the amygdala in response to non-reward relative to reward. Conclusion: These data indicate compromised reinforcement processing of both non-social rewards and social non-rewards in children/adolescents with DBDs within core regions for instrumental learning and reinforcement-based decision-making (caudate and PCC). In addition, children/adolescents with DBDs show dysfunctional interactions between the VST, vmPFC, and lateral frontal cortex in response to rewarded instrumental actions potentially reflecting disruptions in attention to rewarded stimuli.

최근에 들어 대규모의 재난으로 인한 인명과 재산의 피해를 보면서 재난정신건강에 대한 관심의 필요성이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구는 재난 피해자의 정신건강 문제의 발생과 회복과정의 다양한 사회경제적 영향요인 등에 관한 실증적 연구와 이론적 논의에 대한 검토를 근거로 다차원적 재난정신건강 서비스 모델을 제시하였다. 재난피해자의 정신건강문제는 재난이란 외상적 경험과 개인내적 특성에 의해 영향을 받지만, 재난 복구 과정에 개인과 지역사회가 겪는 사회·경제·정치적 경험이 정신건강문제에 지대한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 재난피해자에 대한 임상적 개입에만 초점을 두는 전통적 재난정신건강모델보다는 재난 피해자 개인과 지역공동체, 이들을 둘러싸고 있는 다양한 환경체계에 대한 다각적인 개입을 포함하는 다차원적 재난정신건강 서비스로의 전환을 제안하였다. 다차원적 모델은 전통적인 사회복지의 개입전략들을 활용하면서 재난 피해자 개인과 지역공동체의 정신건강과 사회경제적 정의를 실현할 수 있는 다양한 차원에서 개입 전략과 사회복지분야가 취해야 할 방향을 제시하였다.
