Abstract

This study analyzes whether investor sentiment and liquidity explain the momentum phenomenon in the Korean stock market and whether it is a risk factor for the asset pricing model. The empirical analysis used the monthly returns of non-financial companies listed on the stock market during the period 2000-2021. As a result of the analysis, first, it was found that there is a momentum effect in Korea. This is the same result as the previous study, and since 2000, the momentum effect has been accepted as a general phenomenon in the Korean stock market. Second, if we look at the portfolio based on investor sentiment, investor sentiment is influencing momentum. In particular, when investor sentiment is negative, the return on the winner portfolio is high. Third, as a result of the analysis based on liquidity, the momentum effect disappears and a reversal effect appears. Fourth, it was found that investor sentiment and liquidity influence the momentum effect. This is a result of the strong momentum effect in the illiquid stock group with negative investor sentiment. Fifth, as a result of analyzing the effect of each factor on stock returns, it was found that both investor psychology and liquidity factors have a significant impact on returns. The estimated results provide evidence that the inclusion of these two factors in the Carhart four-factor model significantly increases the predictive power of the model. Therefore, it can be said that investor sentiment factors and liquidity factors are important factors in determining stock returns.

본 연구는 투자자 심리와 유동성이 우리나라 주식시장에서 모멘텀현상을 설명하는지와 자산가격결정모형에 대한 위험 요소인지를 분석하는 것이다. 실증분석은 2000~2021년 기간 동안 유가증권시장에 상장된 비금융기업의 월별 수익률을 사용하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 우리나라의 경우 모멘텀 효과가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 기존 연구와 같은 결과로 2000년 이후 우리나라 주식시장에서 모멘텀효과가 일반적인 현상으로 받아들여지고 있다. 둘째, 투자자 심리를 기준으로 구성된 포트폴리오를 보면 투자자의 심리가 모멘텀에 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히 투자자 심리가 부정적일 때 승자포트폴리오의 수익률이 높게 나타나고 있다. 셋째, 유동성을 바탕으로 분석한 결과 모멘텀효과는 사라지고 반전효과가 나타난다. 넷째, 투자자 심리와 유동성이 모멘텀효과에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 투자자 심리가 부정적이고, 비유동적인 주식집단에서 모멘텀효과가 강하게 보이는 결과이다. 다섯째, 주식수익률에 각 요인이 주는 영향을 분석해 본 결과, 투자자의 심리와 유동성 요인 모두가 수익률에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 추정된 결과는 Carhart 4요인 모형에 이 두 요소를 포함하면 모형의 예측력이 상당히 증가한다는 증거를 제공한다. 따라서 투자자 심리요인과 유동성 요인이 주식수익률결정에 중요한 요인이라 할 수 있다.
