In traditional financial theory, the discount cash flow model(DCF or NPV) operates as the basic framework for most analyses. In doing valuation analysis, the conventional view is that the net present value(NPV) of a project is the measure of the present value of expected net cash flows. Thus, investing in a positive(negative) NPV project will increase(decrease) firm value. Recently, this framework has come under some fire for failing to consider the options of the managerial flexibilities. Real option valuation(ROV) considers the managerial flexibility to make ongoing decisions regarding the implementation of investment projects and the deployment of real assets. The appeal of the framework is natural given the high degree of uncertainty that firms face in their technology investment decisions. This paper suggests an algorithm for estimating volatility of logarithmic cash flow returns of real assets based on the Black-Sholes option pricing model, the binomial option pricing model, and the Monte Carlo simulation. This paper uses those models to obtain point estimates of real option value with the G7- HSR350X(high-speed train).

This paper examines the impacts of credit on income inequality in Vietnam. Though it is one of the most common measures of financial development, there is a dearth of research in this area. Unlike previous studies, the paper disaggregates the impact of each type of credit on income inequality, looking at the Gini coefficient. We employ the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) to solve the endogenous problem. The primary data set contains a panel of 60 Provincial observations, from data collected from the General Statistics Office of Vietnam from 2002 to 2016. The empirical findings show that, while commercial credit increases income inequality, policy credit contributes to reducing income inequality in Vietnam. The results also confirm the important roles of education, institutional quality and foreign direct investment in fighting against income inequality in Vietnam. However, the paper does not provide adequate evidence to support the inverted U-shaped relationship between credit and income inequality. Based on the findings, we argue that the government should direct flows of credit to real economic activities rather than speculative investment; more bank credit should be allocated to rural areas and agriculture; and favorable credit programs should be designed to promote education, especially of those living in rural areas.

ODA finance in the water sector has decreased after reaching a peak in 2012 although total ODA commitments have steadily increased according to OECD DAC data. However, climate finance in the water sector has increased so much since 2013 according to 7 MDB Joint report on Climate Finance. Water, especially, in climate change is the main issue for adaptation, and the total finance in the water sector reached 50% of the international public adaptation finance in 2016. However, the procedures for approval and the requirements of the proposals for climate funds are different from those for development finance. Notwithstanding the changes in money flows in the water sector, most korean engineering consulting firms in the water infrastructure area are not ready to win the funds relating to climate change. Therefore, It is important to understand a variety of sources of climate funds, characteristics, funding scale on each purpose and procedures for approval. Korean government needs to provide the firms the opportunities to buildup experiences by getting involved in climate adaptation projects with the financial support for developing PPFs, concept notes, and proposals.

In capital budgeting practices, investment project evaluations based on the net present value (NPV) and the internal rate of return (IRR) represent the traditional evaluation techniques. Compared with the traditional methods, the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) gives the opportunity to evaluate an investment in certain projet, while taking the changes in cash flows over time and issuing shares such as dividing shares, bonuses, and dividend for each end of the investment year into account. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate an investment in the Malaysian construction sector utilizing financial data for 39 public listed companies operating in the Malaysian construction sector over the period from Jan 1, 2007, to December 30, 2018, based on the MIRR method. Stochastic was studied in this study to estimate the estimated probability by applying the Markov chain model to the MIRR method where the transition matrix has two possible movements of either Good (G) or Bad (B). it is found that the long-run probability of getting a good investment is higher than the probability of getting a bad investment in the long-run, where were the probabilities of good and bad are 0.5119, 0.4881, respectively. Hence, investment in the Malaysian construction sector is recommended.

In the later quarter of the twentieth century, the need for foreign capital is realized among the various countries of the world. Developing countries especially developed multi-pronged strategies to attract foreign capital into the country. One such strategy is the adoption of liberalization policy. Almost all the developing countries started opening their economy, out of the compulsion, to achieve faster rate of economic growth and development. Even a communist country like China adopted liberalization policy as a strategy for accelerated economic growth during 1979. India also joined the race by 1991, when the government announced the policy of liberalization. The importance of FDI extends beyond the financial capital that flows into the country. The huge size of the market in this sector and high returns on investment are two important factors in boosting FDI inflows to power sector. 100 percent FDI is allowed under automatic route in almost all the sub sectors of power sector except the atomic energy. Major foreign investment is made in this sector during 2000 to 2009 is Mauritius with an investment of US$ 4490.96 i.e., 4.24 percent of the total FDI inflows into the country during the period. The estimation of future FDI flow shows a marginal decline in the year 2010. Then from 2011 to 2015 onwards upward trend of FDI was observed.

컴퓨터 기술이 발전함에 따라 시스템 공격 기술이 점점 더 진화하고 다양화 되고 있다. 컴퓨터의 하드웨어와 소프트웨어는 점점 진화하고 성능이 향상되고 있지만 기본 동작 원리는 거의 변화하지 않고 있어 문제 대두되고 있다. 일반적으로 응용프로그램들이 실행상태에 놓이면 프로그램의 데이터들이 메모리에 놓이게 된다. 이러한 데이터들은 운영체제 동작의 효율성 때문에 메모리에 남아있게 되어 메모리 해킹이나 메모리 분석을 통하여 데이터들에 접근할 수 있게 된다. 그로 인하여 사용자의 개인정보, 암호화된 키, 인증서 등이 유출되어 큰 피해가 발생하기 때문에 대응 방안이 마련 되어야 한다. 본 논문으로 메모리 해킹에 대한 문제점과 그에 대한 대응책을 제안한다.

Torrefaction technologies convert assorted biomass feedstocks into energy-concentrated, carbon neutral fuel that is economically transported and easily ground for blending with fossil coals at numerous power plants around the world without needs to retrofit. Utilization of torrefied biomass in conventional electric generating units may be an increasingly attractive alternative for electricity generation as aging power plants in the world need to be upgraded or improved. This paper examines the economic feasibility of torrefaction in different scenarios by modeling torrefaction plants producing 136,078 t/year (150,000 ton/year) biocoal from wood and corn stover. The utilization of biocoal blends in existing coal-fired power plants is modeled to determine the demand for this fuel in the context of emerging policies regulating emissions from coal in the U.S. setting. Opportunities to co-locate torrefaction facilities adjacent to corn ethanol plants and coal-fired power plants are explored as means to improve economics for collaborating businesses. Life cycle analysis was conducted in parallel to this economic study and was used to determine environmental impacts of converting biomass to biocoal for blending in coal-fired power plants as well as the use of substantial flows of off-gasses produced in the torrefaction process. Sensitivity analysis of the financial rates of return of the different businesses has been performed to measure impacts of different factors, whether input prices, output prices, or policy measures that render costs or rewards for the businesses.

This study aims to measure the lower tail dependence as risk contagion from the U.S. economy to 18 developing countries affecting FDI inflows using time-series data from 2005 to 2019. Firstly, we utilize four dynamic copula models, namely, Student-t, Clayton, rotated survival Gumbel, and rotated survival Joe, to measure the tail dependence structure between the U.S. and each developing country's real GDP growth. Secondly, we use the regression model to explore the contagion effects on FDI inflows. The results show that there is evidence of the tail dependence between the U.S and developing economies, indicating the presence of the contagion effects. Primarily, we observe that the degree of contagion effects of the global financial crisis varies across countries; a strong impact is observed in Chinese, South African, Russian, Colombian, and Mexican economic growth. Furthermore, we found significant contagion risk affecting FDI inflows positively in China, Indonesia, Columbia, Morocco, and negatively in the Philippines, Bulgaria, and South Africa. This study demonstrates the usefulness of the copulas model in terms of examining contagion. Our findings shed light on the influence of sound policies and regulations to cope with both positive and negative consequences of the contagion on the capital movement.

본 연구는 2002년 1월부터 2008년 6월까지의 국내 뮤추얼펀드 월별 자료를 이용하여 펀드의 성과지속성과 스마트머니 현상이 존재하는지를 검증하고, 이들 현상이 펀드의 자금유출입에 따른 주식거래에 의해 초래되는 가격압박효과에 기인하는지를 실증분석하였다. 먼저, 과거 성과가 가장 높았던 펀드그룹이 과거 성과가 가장 낮았던 펀드그룹에 비해 향후 3년까지 월평균 0.11%~1.05%의 유의한 초과수익률을 보임으로써 성과지속성은 존재하는 것으로 분석되었으나, 과거 순자금유입액이 가장 많았던 펀드그룹은 가장 적었던 펀드그룹에 비해 향후 투자성과가 오히려 낮게 나타남에 따라 스마트머니 효과는 약한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 펀드의 과거 자금유출입에 따른 주식거래량으로 측정한 가격압박측정치가 가장 높았던 주식그룹은 가장 낮았던 주식그룹에 비해 당월에 1.01%의 높은 초과수익률을 얻음으로써 가격압박효과가 존재하는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 가격압박측정치가 동일한 펀드그룹 내에서도 과거 성과가 높았던 펀드들은 성과가 낮았던 펀드들에 비해 여전히 향후 2년까지 월평균 0.08%~0.77%의 높은 초과수익률을 보임으로써, 펀드 성과지속성의 주요 발생원인이 가격압박효과보다는 펀드매니저의 능력차이에 기인하는 것임을 시사하고 있다. 이러한 결과는 회귀분석을 통해서도 미래 펀드수익률에 대하여 가격압박측 정치는 비유의적인 계수값을 갖는 반면, 과거 펀드수익률은 유의한 양의 설명력을 갖는 것으로 나타남으로써 지지되고 있다.

본 논문에서는 한국금융시장의 자료를 이용하여 펀드플로우와 시장위험간의 관계를 검증하고, 펀드플로우의 변화가 시장의 위험수준의 변화를 설명할 수 있는지를 분석하였다. 이는 펀드플로우와 시장위험간의 관계에 대한 학문적 시사점을 제공하고 일각에서 제기하고 있는 펀드런에 의한 시스템리스크 유발가능성을 탐색한다는 점에서 의미를 갖는다. 주식형 펀드플로우와 주식시장 위험에 대한 분석결과는 펀드자금의 유입이 시장위험과 (+)의 관계를 가짐을 보여준다. 채권형 펀드의 경우 펀드플로우는 채무불이행위험프리미엄과 음(-)의 관계를, 기간프리미엄과는 양(+)의 관계를 갖는다. MMF의 결과는 MMF로의 자금유입이 시장의 유동성위험을 줄여줌을 보여준다. 예측오차의 분산분해를 통한 전이지수의 구성을 통해 펀드플로우의 변화가 시장위험의 변화를 얼마나 설명할 수 있는지를 분석한 결과는 설명력이 제한적이며 변동이 매우 심한 결과를 보여준다. 주식시장의 경우 한국자본시장에서 서브프라임 사태의 영향이 본격화된 시기인 2007년 말 이후 펀드플로우에 가해진 변화가 시장의 위험변동을 설명하는 비율이 상대적으로 크게 증가해 이러한 추세가 상당기간 지속되는 모습을 보인다. 반면, 채권시장의 경우 2008년 말 이후 펀드플로우에 가해진 충격이 채권시장의 위험에 전이되는 현상이 지속적으로 나타나며, 단기 금융시장의 경우에는 이러한 현상이 체계적으로 발생하지 않는다. 주식시장과 채권시장에서 보인 특정시기를 중심으로 하는 전염효과의 지속현상은 펀드플로우에 가해진 예상치 못한 충격이 시장위험을 증가시킬 수 있음을 의미한다. 그러나 회귀분석과 VAR 모형의 추정결과, 그리고 분산분해의 설명력 등을 고려하여 판단할 때 본 연구의 결과는 펀드플로우의 변화가 시장위험의 변동을 설명하는 설명력이 제한적이어서 일부에서 우려하는 펀드런에 따른 금융시장의 시스템리스크의 증가와 전반적인 위기의 확산으로 나타날 가능성은 높지 않음을 말해준다.
