Purpose - This paper aims to examine the determinants of SWFs' investment in Asian countries and to identify consistent investment patterns of SWFs in specific target firms from Asia, particularly China and South Korea. Design/methodology - This study extends the Tobin's Q model to examine the relationship between SWF investments in target firms and their returns with other firm-level control variables. We collect consistent data on SWF investments and the matched firm-level data on target firms, which of observation is 1,512 firms (333 in South Korea and 1,179 in China) targeted by 20 SWF sources during 1997-2017. The panel random effect model is used to estimate the extended Tobin's Q model. The robustness of the estimations is tested by the simultaneous equation models and the panel GEE model. Findings - The evidence shows that sovereign wealth funds are more inclined to invest in the financial sector with a monopoly position and in large firms with higher growth opportunity and superior cash asset ratios in China. In contrast to their investments in China, sovereign wealth funds in South Korea prefer to invest in strategic sectors, such as energy and information technology, and in large firms with high performance and low leverage. Sovereign wealth funds' investments tend to significantly improve the target firm's performance measured by sales growth and returns in both Korea and China. Originality/value - The existing literature focuses on examining the determination of SWFs investment in the developed countries, such as Europe and the United States. Our paper contributes to the literature in three ways; first, we analyzes case studies of SWF investments in Asian markets, which are less developed and riskier. Second, we examine whether the determination of SWF investment in Asian target firms depends on the different time periods, on types of sources of SWFs, and on acquiring countries. Third, our research uses vast sample data on target firms in longer time periods (1997-2017) than other previous studies on the SWFs for Asian markets.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to examine the effect of women's empowerment on the immunization of Indonesian children. The secondary objective was to examine the effect of wealth as a factor modifying this association. Methods: We utilized data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). The subjects were married women with children aged 12-23 months (n=3532). Complete immunization was defined using the 2017 IDHS definition. Multiple components of women's empowerment were measured: enabling resources, decision-making involvement, and attitude toward intimate partner violence. The primary analysis was conducted using binomial logistic regression. Model 1 represented only the indicators of women's empowerment and model 2 controlled for socio-demographic variables. Subgroup analyses were conducted for each wealth group. Results: The primary analysis using model 1 identified several empowerment indicators that facilitated complete immunization. The analysis using model 2 found that maternal education and involvement in decision-making processes facilitated complete immunization in children. Subgroup analyses identified that wealth had a modifying effect. The indicators of women's empowerment were strong determinants of complete immunization in lower wealth quintiles but insignificant in middle-income and higher-income quintiles. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this study is the first to explore women's empowerment as a determinant of child immunization in Indonesia. The results indicate that women's empowerment must be considered in Indonesia's child immunization program. Women's empowerment was not found to be a determinant in higher wealth quintiles, which led us to rethink the conceptual framework of the effect of women's empowerment on health outcomes.

This study examines shareholder wealth effects in tender offers and attempts to explain abnormal return variations of bidding and target firms at announcement of takeovers using the free cash flow hypothesis of Jensen. On average, bidders with large free cash flows pay higher premia (apparently more than fair market value) to targets than do other bidders with no free cash flows. Thereby, these bidders experience negative wealth effects on announcement of tender offers. Cross-sectional regression analysis suggests that for the subsample of takeover bids where bidders have large free cash flows, the increase in the debt ratio resulting from takeover has a significant positive wealth effect for bidding firm shareholders, while it has no effect in other subsamples. The evidence is consistent with the free cash flow hypothesis.

The primary purpose of this paper is to estimate the wealth effect. We establish a linear relationships between household consumption, labor income, and stock price index. Each variable is nonstationary. And so, it contains a unit root. However, as the result of the test about cointegrating relations, the variables are cointegrated which implies the error term is stationary. The cointegrating parameter that the marginal propensity to consume out of stock price is 0.08%. The result of estimation shows the error correction is -0.62 and the significant level is also high. The error correction term indicates a rather rapid adjustment to deviations from the long run equilibrium relations.

본 연구는 고령자 노동지위가설과 사회적 지위획득모델의 한계를 보완하고 통합하여, 노후 노동지위에 미치는 생애과정의 메커니즘을 조명하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 60세 이상 남성근로자의 노동지위는, 직종은 대부분이 농어업이거나 단순노무직이고, 고위직 (준)전문가는 소수에 불과하였다. 종사상 지위도 상용직과 고용주는 4.4%에 불과한 반면, 약 70%가 임시일용직과 자영업이며, 약 60%는 연 천만원 이하의 저임금근로자였다. 대부분의 고령자는 노후에도 고위직을 유지한다는 노후풍요가설이 적용되는 경우는 소수에 불과함을 말해준다. 둘째, 약 20%가 5천만원 미만의 재산을 가지고 있는 반면, 9.3%는 6억 이상의 재산을 소유하여 격차가 크다. 노후풍요가설처럼 대부분의 사람이 노후에 필요한 적절한 부를 축적하였다고 보기 어렵다. 그리고 재산은 교육수준에 따라 차이가 커서, 부의 축적은 사회적 지위획득모델이 더 적절한 것으로 판단된다. 셋째, 교육수준에 따라 생애노동경력뿐 아니라, 노후 노동지위가 달랐다. 넷째, 경로분석결과, 교육수준은 생애노동경력과 재산을 매개로 노후 노동지위에 영향을 미쳤다. 즉, 교육수준이 낮은 사람은 생애노동경력이 불안정하고, 재산이 적으며, 노년에도 일은 하지만 저임금, 낮은 사회적 직종, 불안정한 고용형태에서 근무하였다. 생애불평등이 노년에도 지속됨을 보여주는 것이다. 따라서 교육기회의 불평등과 비정규직과 영세자영업 확산을 축소시키고, 불안정 고용이 덫이 되지 않도록 제반 여건을 마련해야 한다.

본 연구는 지역별 거주형태별 가구 특성을 순자산과 소득이라는 측면에서 살펴 본다. 특히 순자산과 소득의 다중공선성 문제를 해결하기 위하여 2단계 로짓회귀분석 방법을 활용하여 순자산효과와 순자산 등을 통제한 상태에서 추가적인 소득의 효과를 분리하여 추정하는데 초점을 맞춘다. 국토교통부 주거실태조사 2020 자료를 활용하여 2단계 로짓회귀분석 모형을 추정한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻는다. 첫째, 순자산의 증가는 광역시나 비광역시 가구들 모두의 자가 확률을 높이고, 차가 확률을 낮춘다. 둘째, 순자산 등으로 설명되지 않는 추가적인 소득은 비광역시 가구들의 경우 자가로 거주하고 있을 확률은 높이지만, 광역시 가구들에서는 오히려 자가로 거주하고 있을 확률을 낮춘다. 또한, 순자산 등으로 설명되지 않는 추가적인 소득은 자가든 차가든, 광역시 보다는 비광역시에 거주할 확률을 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 종합하면, 순자산의 증가는 (특히 광역시 거주 가구들 중에서) '내집마련'의 가능성을 높이지만, 순자산 증가로 설명되지 않는 추가적인 소득의 증가는 광역시에서 '내집마련'보다는 광역시 내에서 혹은 광역시를 떠나 좀 더 좋은 거주여건(더 넓은 주거면적, 더 나은 교육여건 등)에 대한 욕구를 자극하는 것으로 해석된다.

Background: Tobacco consumption has been identified as the single biggest cause of inequality in morbidity and mortality. Understanding pattern of socioeconomic equalities in tobacco consumption in India will help in designing targeted public health control measures. Materials and Methods: Nationally representative data from the India Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) conducted in 2009-2010 was analyzed. The survey provided information on 69,030 respondents aged 15 years and above. Data were analyzed according to regions for estimating prevalence of current tobacco consumption (both smoking and smokeless) across wealth quintiles. Multiple logistic regression analysis predicted the impact of socioeconomic determinants on both forms of current tobacco consumption adjusting for other socio-demographic variables. Results: Trends of smoking and smokeless tobacco consumption across wealth quintiles were significant in different regions of India. Higher prevalence of smoking and smokeless tobacco consumption was observed in the medium wealth quintiles. Risk of tobacco consumption among the poorest compared to the richest quintile was 1.6 times higher for smoking and 3.1 times higher for smokeless forms. Declining odds ratios of both forms of tobacco consumption with rising education were visible across regions. Poverty was a strong predictor in north and south Indian region for smoking and in all regions for smokeless tobacco use. Conclusions: Poverty and poor education are strong risk factors for both forms of tobacco consumption in India. Public health policies, therefore, need to be targeted towards the poor and uneducated.

Inter vivos in the context of wealth and estate planning can be generally defined as a transfer that takes place between the livings. Parents are motivated to transfer for altruisme and exchange. In this context, this study aims to explore another potential motives of inter vivos, which is 'affection'. Data is collected through semi-structured interviews with inter vivos experts who have published articles in this area. The interview is encoded and thematic analysis is carried out to classify themes and subthemes that exist in the inter vivos transfers. This study discovers four main themes, which indicate that inter vivos transfers based on affection can be enlightened by the relationship between parents and children, responsibility for children, types of inter vivos, and effects to other heirs. Relationship between parents and children can be explained as parents transfer their wealth to the closest children, children who care for them and to family members only. Parents also are responsible to protect their children after they die and assist them who are in need. Types of inter vivos are considered as boundless inter vivos and without any material return. Inter vivos based on affection also aims not to abuse other heirs.

This study exemines the roles of corporate social activity (CSR) and executive compensation structure on the pricing of seasoned equity offerings (SEOs) with special focus on the role of CSR in reducing the level of information asymmetry between managers and future shareholders of issuing firms through SEOs. This study also investigates the interaction between executive compensation structure and CSR on the discounting of SEOs. We use a sample of 2,102 seasoned equity offerings of U.S. firms with CSR scores from 1995 to 2015 in our OLS fixed effect regression analysis. The results show that issuing firms with high CSR are more likely to expericence a lower degree of the SEO discount. The results also document a positive association between CSR and a high proportion of equity-based compensation of issuing firms' executives. The findings of this paper confirm that CSR attenuates the impact of information asymmetry and the pre-SEO price uncertainty on the pricing of the offers and hence the SEO discount. Furthermore, CSR reinforces the impact of executive firm-related wealth on the discounting of seasoned equity offerings. It appears that firm-related wealth motivates managers to actively engage in reducing information asymmetry activities before SEOs, thereby decreasing the SEO discount.

본 연구에서는 자기주식 취득 뿐 아니라 자기주식 처분도 주주의 부에 영향을 미치는가와 취득목적 및 처분목적에 따라 주주의 부에 미치는 영향이 서로 다르게 나타나는가를 검증하였다. 실증분석 결과, 주가 안정 목적이나 이익소각 목적의 자기주식 취득 공시는 양(+)의 초과수익률을 주지만, 임직원에게 인센터브를 제공하기 위한 자기주식 취득 공시는 음(-)의 초과수익률이 나타남을 발견하였다. 또 임직원 인센티브용 자기주식 처분이나 만기로 인한 신탁계약 해지는 주가에 부정적인 영향을 주지만, 운영자금 조달이나 재무구조 개선을 위한 자기주식 직접처분은 주주의 부를 유의적으로 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 횡단면 분석에서도 자기주식 취득 및 처분은 그 목적에 따라 초과수익률에 영향을 주는 요인이 다름을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 자기주식 처분도 중요한 재무전략의 하나로 인식되어야 하며, 나아가 자기주식의 취득이나 처분에 관한 연구는 그 목적을 감안하고 접근해야 함을 시사한다.
