Abstract

This is a study on the relationships between foreign ownership and the firm value of Korean-listed ICT companies in the KOSDAQ market. The data based on 752 firm-year observations during the sample period from 2001 to 2018 was utilized to analyze the impact of foreign ownership in terms of the firm value. As a result of this analysis, more foreign ownership has positive effects on the firm value. An analysis of the effects of the interaction between foreign ownership and the debt ratio on the firm's value found that the interaction between foreign ownership and debt ratio had a positive effect on the firm's value. On the other hand, this interaction effect was less significant than the relationship between foreign ownership and the firm value. This is because foreign investors are already performing the role of monitoring and disciplining the use of debt to some extent. Therefore, the interaction effect was relatively small.

본 연구는 ICT기업의 외국인지분율과 기업가치에 관한 연구로 외국인지분율이 기업가치에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 2011년부터 2018년까지 8개년 동안 KOSDAQ에 상장된 ICT기업 94개를 대상으로 752개의 표본을 이용하여 연구를 진행하였다. 연구결과, 외국인지분율이 증가할수록 기업가치가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 외국인지분율과 부채비율의 상호작용이 기업가치에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과에서는 외국인지분율과 부채비율의 상호작용이 기업가치에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 이러한 상호작용효과는 외국인지분율과 기업가치의 관계보다 통계적인 유의성이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났는데 이는 외국인 투자자들이 부채사용에 따른 감시 및 통제역할을 이미 어느 정도 수행하고 있기 때문에 외국인지분율과 부채비율의 상호작용효과가 상대적으로 작게 나타난 것으로 파악된다.
