Abstract

In the crossroads of social change caused by the spread of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the prolonged COVID-19, the Korean government announced the Digital New Deal policy on July 14, 2020. The Digital New Deal policy's primary goal is to create new businesses by accelerating digital transformation in the public sector and industries around data, networks, and artificial intelligence technologies. However, in a rapidly changing social environment, information asymmetry of the future benefits of technology can cause differences in the public's ability to analyze the direction and effectiveness of policies, resulting in uncertainty about the practical effects of policies. On the other hand, the media leads the formation of discourse through communicators' role to disseminate government policies to the public and provides knowledge about specific issues through the news. In other words, as the media coverage of a particular policy increases, the issue concentration increases, which also affects public decision-making. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify the dynamic relationship between the media coverage and the stock market on the Korean government's digital New Deal policy using Granger causality, impulse response functions, and variance decomposition analysis. To this end, the daily stock turnover ratio, daily price-earnings ratio, and EWMA volatility of digital technology-based companies related to the digital new deal policy among KOSDAQ listed companies were set as variables. As a result, keyword search volume, daily stock turnover ratio, EWMA volatility have a bi-directional Granger causal relationship with media coverage. And an increase in media coverage has a high impact on keyword search volume on digital new deal policies. Also, the impulse response analysis on media coverage showed a sharp drop in EWMA volatility. The influence gradually increased over time and played a role in mitigating stock market volatility. Based on this study's findings, the amount of media coverage of digital new deals policy has a significant dynamic relationship with the stock market.

제4차 산업혁명의 확산과 코로나 19의 장기화로 인한 사회적 변화의 기로에서 한국 정부는 2020년 7월 디지털 뉴딜 정책을 발표했다. 디지털 뉴딜 정책은 데이터, 네트워크, 인공지능 기술을 중심으로 공공분야 및 산업의 디지털 전환을 가속화함으로써 새로운 비즈니스를 창출하는 것을 주요 과제로 삼고 있다. 그러나 급변하는 사회환경에서 기술의 미래 이익에 대한 정보비대칭은 정책의 방향과 효과에 대한 대중의 분석 능력의 차이를 야기할 수 있으며, 이로 인해 정책의 실질적 효과에 대한 불확실성이 발생하게 된다. 한편, 언론은 정부 정책을 대중에 전파하는 전달자 역할을 통해 담론 형성을 주도하며, 보도를 통해 특정 이슈에 대한 제반 지식을 대중에게 제공하는 역할을 한다. 즉, 특정 정책에 대한 언론의 보도량이 증가할수록 이슈 집중도는 높아지며, 이를 통해 대중의 의사결정에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 한국 정부의 디지털 뉴딜 정책에 대한 언론 보도량과 주식 시장의 동태적 관계를 그랜저 인과관계(Granger causality), 충격반응함수, 분산분해분석을 이용하여 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위해 디지털 뉴딜 정책에 대한 언론 보도량, 키워드 검색량과 KOSDAQ 상장 기업 중 디지털 뉴딜 정책과 관련이 있는 디지털 기술 기반 기업들의 일일주식회전율, 일일주가수익률, EWMA 변동성을 변수로 설정하였으며, 정책발표 시점 전후 60 거래일, 총 120 거래일 간의 데이터를 이용했다. 분석 결과, 언론 보도량은 키워드 검색량, 일일주식회전율, EWMA 변동성과 양방향 그랜저 인과관계가 존재하였으며, 언론 보도량의 증가는 디지털 뉴딜 정책에 대한 키워드 검색량에 높은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 언론 보도량에 대한 충격반응분석 결과 EWMA 변동성을 큰 폭으로 하락시키는 양상을 보였으며, 시간이 지날수록 영향력이 점차 증가하며 주식 시장의 변동성을 완화시키는 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 분석 결과를 토대로 디지털 뉴딜에 대한 언론 보도량은 주식 시장과 유의한 동태적 관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
