This paper examines the effect of unique underwriter lockup on the initial returns of an initial public offering (IPO) in the Korean Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (KOSDAQ). Underwriter lockup induces underwriters to underprice IPOs and stabilize aftermarket prices. The inducement is explored with respects to the mixtures of distributions of the initial returns consistent with underpricing and stabilization. Whether the inducement is meaningful when other factors are controlled is also explored. These explorations provide evidence that underwriter lockup leads to more positive average initial returns in the three aftermarket months.

The number of disabled person is increasing, and also the demand of welfare is increasing. In the developed country, the range of disabled person is broad, because the definition of disability is different among countries. On 10/Apr, 2007, the law to forbid discrimination against disabled person was announced and then it will be operated on 11/Apr, 2008, in Korea. It will need to evaluate conflict between this law and underwriting guideline. There is obvious difference between disabled and non-disabled on risk selection of medical and environmental aspect. More than 50% of disabilities are related to the diseases rather than accident. The role of underwriter is to evaluate the future risk of morbidity (admission and/or operation etc). The insurance company is required to make new product for disabled person and the underwriter has to examine the application of disabled without discrimination, and with respect for the disabled as a human right.

One of the fundamental duty of the assured in a marine insurance contract is maintaining seaworthiness of the ship insured. Since duty of the seaworthiness of ship is a shipowners implied warranty in the marine insurance, the breach of the duty of seaworthiness by assured is recognized as immunity for the underwriter. This is a measure to protect the underwriter through prevention of unexpected casualties which may be occurred from the unseaworthiness. In the Korean Marine Insurance Act the legal character of the assured's duty of seaworthiness is not clear whether it is a legal duty or contracted one. Accordingly, in this paper the author pointed out that the duty of seaworthiness of the ship should be interpreted according to the English Law. As a conclusion, the hull insurance does not require even implied warranty concerning seaworthiness, since it is recognized as one of implied fundamental warranty of the English Marine Insurance Act. Especially, this issue pointed out is very meaningful and advisable under the consideration of the existing conditions of the marine insurance regime for the distant-water fishing vessels and the catch carriers in Korea.

The duty of disclosure it is a preliminary requirement to effect marine insurance contract between the assured and the underwriter. The contract of Marine Insurance is called a uberrimae fidei contract, the assured, therefore, in the law of marine insurance, shall communicate a material circumstances to the latter before the policy to be effected. As growing the maritime industries in Korea, there is forming a larger marine insurance market, accordingly, and having a wide relation with the practice of the marine insurance in England. It means that the most of the legal theories of the marine insurance would be adopted by the English Marine Insurance Case Law and M.I.A., 1906. From the viewpoint of the said this author has tried out to study what is the duty of disclosure of the marine insurance based upon the English Marine Case Law.

Global prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) is known to 5.6 ~ 9.8%. Then life insurance applicants from persons with COPD are frequently encountered, and the underwriter and insurance medical doctors are called on with some regularity to render assessments of the mortality risk associated with COPD. According to previous article which contains long-term follow up of COPD, mortality ratio and excess death rate were 230% and 29 per 1000, respectively. Nowadays molecular genetic methodology such as GWAS has been developed. So it might be possible that molecular diagnostic methods may be one of useful underwriting tools in the life insurance risk selection of COPD applicants.

This study aims to identify signals that can predict the quality of startups aiming to be listed on Korea's KOSDAQ market. The startups are divided into two groups: those backed by venture capital, where a third party has addressed information asymmetry, and those not backed by venture capital. The study seeks to identify signals to help select good companies for each group. The study primarily focuses on underpricing, which strongly correlates with company quality. It aims to investigate the causal relationship between underpricing and independent variables such as underwriter reputation, institutional investor competition rate, locked-up share ratio, and extended lockup period. The empirical analysis shows that IPOs with high institutional investor subscription competition, IPOs of start-ups without VC backing matched with reputable lead managers, and IPOs with high lockup shares of start-ups with VC backing are significantly underpriced. This study provides a theoretical and logical basis for strategically choosing the level of underpricing, considering the circumstances of the firm going public, mainly whether it is VC-backed or not, and considering the effectiveness of other signals mentioned above. It also opens the door for further research by researchers in other regions to study institutional investors' subscription ratio as the pre-listing signal that can help address information asymmetry. From a policymaker's perspective, the disclosure of the above information can be considered to reduce information asymmetry for investors.

Letters of Credit are the most common method of payment for goods in the export trade, and banking practice relating to letters of credit is standardised by the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, which are a set of rules issued by the International Chamber of Commerce. The current version is UCP 600, which took effect on July 1, 2007. To assist the practitioners of Documentary Credits, the KCCI(Koea Chamber of Commerce and Industry) authorised a new publication-Official Commentary on UCP 600. This new publication added the word "official" in the title. In order to being an official commentary, the terms and expression should be correct and unified. But there is some problems in official commentary and legal phraseology. The problem was appeared that ICC UCP 600's were translated into Korean UCP 600 version. For example, "Issuing Bank", "Applicant", "Port of discharge", "A date of pick-up", "Shipper's load and count", "Courier Receipt", "Charter Party", "Bill of Lading", "Cover Note", "Exclusion Clause", "Insurance Certificate", "Declaration, Underwriter". If can be used 'Official Commentary on UCP 600', the above statements should be a compliment though take a wide professional opinions or held a public hearings. The Purpose of this paper is to point out the problems and substitute the term used and unify the expression in official commentary.

우리나라에서는 그 동안 유상증자(有償增資)시 주주배정(株主配定)(right offer)방식에 의하고 기업공개시의 발행가격도 일률적으로 산정(算定)되어 증권인수(證券引受)에 따른 인수기관(引受機關)(underwriter)의 역할이 제한되어 왔으나 앞으로는 증권발행방식이 다양화되어 발행가격의 결정을 포함한 인수기관의 역할이 강조될 것이다. 대부분 총액인수(總額引受)(firm commitment underwriting)방식을 택하는 미국자본시장에서 인수기관을 선정하고 발행조건들을 결정하는 방법에는 투자은행과의 협의(協議)(negotiation)에 의하는 방식과 비공개경쟁입찰(非公開競爭入札)(sealed bidding)에 의하는 방식이 있는데 많은 기업들은 상대적으로 비용이 많이 드는 협의발행을 선택한다. 본 연구에서는 이에 대한 가설들을 뉴욕증권거래소나 아메리칸증권거래소에서 거래되는 공익기업의 신주발행자료를 통해 실증 검정했다. 인수 스프레드(underwriting spread)는 발행금액에 관계없이 협의발행(協議發行)이 경쟁발행(競爭發行)보다 평균적으로 1.16% 높았으며 발행비용(發行費用)도 협의발행이 유의적인 수준에서 0.341% 정도 높았다. 비대칭정보하에서 신호균형(信號均衡)(signaling equilibrium)으로 설명할 수 없지만 협의발행에 의한 통합균형(統合均衡)(pooling equilibrium)의 가능성은 배제하지 못했다. 주식발행 발표일(發表日)(announcement date)을 전후해 인수방식에 따른 주가변동의 차이를 분석한 결과 대리인가설(代理人假說)은 부분적으로 지지했다. 발행일(發行日)(offering date)을 전후한 주가변동에 의하면 인수기관의 사전매각노력(事前賣却努力)이 협의발행하에서 더 높았으나 발행일 직후의 주가회복은 보이지 않아 인수방식에 따른 가격안정화(價格安定化) 노력의 차이는 없었다. 발행기업들간의 주가차별화의 정도를 분석한 결과 협의발행에서 인회활동(認淮活動) (certification effects)을 더 잘 할 수 있다는 사실을 지지하지 못했다.
