This paper examines the economic factors that are related to the dynamics of the variance risk premium, and specially, which economic factors are related to the forecasting power of the variance premium regarding future index returns. Eleven general economic variables, eight interest rate variables, and eleven sentiment-associated variables are used to figure out the relevant economic variables that affect the variance risk premium. According to our empirical results, the won-dollar exchange rates, foreign reserves, the historical/implied volatility, and interest rate variables all have significant coefficients. The highest adjusted R-squared is more than 65 percent, indicating their significant explanatory power of the variance risk premium. Next, to verify the economic variables associated with the predictability of the variance risk premium, we conduct forecasting regressions to predict future stock returns and volatilities for one to six months. Our empirical analysis shows that only the won-dollar exchange rate, among the many variables associated with the dynamics of the variance risk premium, has a significant forecasting ability regarding future index returns. These results are consistent with results found in previous studies, including Londono (2012) and Bollerslev et al. (2014), which show that the variance risk premium is related to global risk factors.

The purpose of this study is to verify information spillover effects using returns of macroeconomic variables and hotel leisure stock index daily data from January 4, 2000 to December 30, 2015. The findings and implications of the research can be summarized as follows. First, based on time-varying AR(1)-GARCH(1,1) models no evidence of statistically significant conditional mean and volatility spillover effects from returns of macroeconomic variables on the hotel leisure stock index was observed. In addition, no evidence of price volatility spillover from macroeconomic variables on the hotel leisure market was observed. Second, it was discovered that there exists a significantly negative relationship between the return of ER and hotel leisure stock prices, but a positive relationship between the KOSPI and hotel leisure stock prices. Finally, the study also found that was a significantly positive relationship between the volatility of DUB and hotel leisure market, and an adversely negative relationship between the volatility of ER and hotel leisure market. The results of this study are expected to contribute by providing useful information for investment strategies, as well as for risk management for investors and managers.

This paper uses both the bivariate GARCH type BEKK error correction model and Bivariate-AR(1)-Markov-Switching-VECM model to estimate the volatility, time-varying correlation and hedge ratio for the KTB spot and futures indexes, sampled daily over 1/4/2000-10/30/2003. This study suggests that the volatility regime has more significant influence on KTB markets than incline/decline regime does. The results support the importance of the bivariate model in stead of univariate model between KTB spot and futures markets, which may consider not only individual variance process but also covariance process at the same time.

With the rapid increase in the price of house lease, a unique housing form in Korea, a serious social issue has been raised as to the use value of house lease and residence stability of the ordinary people. This study thus aimed to analyze the direct factors that affect lease guaranteed loan and market volatility in order to explore the right direction of financial policy to reduce housing burdens. To this end, the direct variables affecting house lease guaranteed loan, including lease price, transaction price and lending rate, were defined. Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), a time series analysis, was employed to dynamically explain the data. Based on the house lease prices and bank data on loans between January 2010 and December 2014, it was found that the increase in lease price was the direct result of the increase in lease guaranteed loan, not that of the decrease in lending rate or increase in housing transaction price.

자율화와 경쟁여건의 조성을 통해 금융효율성제고(金融效率性提高)를 추구할 때 금융제도의 안전성과 예금자 보호를 위 한 제도적 장치로서 예금보험제도(預金保險制度)에 대한 고려가 병행되어야 한다. 그러나 은행의 위험에 대한 예금보험제공자와 은행사이에 정보(情報)의 비대칭성(非對稱性)이 존재하기 때문에 공정한 변동보험료제도의 실시가 불가능할 때에는 도덕적 위험문제를 피하기 어렵다는 부작용이 발생한다. 예금보험제도의 유용성을 인정하고 동제도의 목적을 충실히 수행하기 위해서는 도덕적(道德的) 위험(危險)의 억제가 중요하며 그 수단으로 은행규제(銀行規制)가 경제적 타당성을 갖게 된다. 기본적인 규제의 형태로는 적정자본금(適正資本金) 규정(規定), 업무영역(業務領域)의 제한(制限), 탄력적(彈力的)인 수신금리규제(受信金利規制)가 되어야 한다. 현재의 자율화 과정을 고려할 때 규제의 효율성면에서는 위험분담사고에 기초하는 적정자본금 규정이 주된 규제수단이 되어야 할 것으로 고려된다.

This study analyzed the impact of changes in real estate prices on the soundness of Korean banks using multiple regression models. As a result of the analysis, changes in real estate prices significantly increase the banks' non-performing loans through the increase in loans. Among macroeconomic variables, short-term interest rates were found to have a significant effect on all soundness indicators such as BIS capital adequacy ratio, non-performing loans ratio, and liquidity coverage ratio. Among the bank characteristics indicators, the loan growth rate had a significant negative effect on BIS capital adequacy ratio, and the real estate mortgage rate had a significant positive effect. In additional, it was found that non-performing loans ratio and liquidity coverage ratio had a negative effect on BIS capital adequacy ratio.

실제(實際)GDP와 잠재(潛在)GDP의 차이로 정의되는 GDP갭의 변화는 경기변동(景氣變動)을 반영하는 동시에 실물경제의 흐름과 물가압력을 연계하는 거시경제변수라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 통상적인 의미의 GDP갭은 경기변동의 근원적(根源的) 요인(要因)(sources of business cycle) 에 대한 설명력이 결여되어 있음을 감안하여 본고(本稿)에서는 주로 경제의 총수요(總需要) 측면에 초점을 맞추어 GDP갭을 추정하였다. 추정된 GDP갭의 변화패턴이 경기변동의 정점(頂點)및 저점(底點)과 거의 일치(一致)하는 동시에 과거 경제운영 과정에서의 주요 정책변화(政策變化)와 일관성(一貫性)을 보이고 있어 현실경제에 대한 설명력이 높은 것으로 평가(評價)된다. 또한 추정된 GDP갭은 수요봉인(需要奉引)에 의한 물가상승(物價上昇)과 밀접하게 연계되어 있으며, 총통화(總通貨) 및 금리(金利)의 변화(變化)와도 높은 상관관계를 나타내고 있다. 경기변동(景氣變動)의 요인(要因)을 수요(需要)측면과 공급(供給)측면으로 구분하여 살펴본 결과 수요변화는 단기적인 성장효과에도 불구하고 장기적(長期的)으로는 물가(物價)에 보다 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 반면, 공급측면의 변화는 장단기(長短期) 모두에 있어서 성장(成長)과 물가(物價)에 지속적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 추정되었다. 또한 물가안정을 위한 총수요긴축(總需要緊縮)에 수반되는 단기적인 성장둔화(成長鈍化) 효과가 상대적으로 큰 것으로 나타나고 있으며, 우리 경제의 높은 해외의존도(海外依存度)로 인하여 해외(海外)로부터의 공급충격에 따른 실물부문(實物部門)의 경기변동이 적지 않았다는 결과가 도출되었다. 이러한 실증분석 결과의 시사점은 (1) 물가안정에 수반되는 경제적(經濟的) 비용(費用)이 크므로 처음부터 물가압력(物價壓力)이 확대되지 않도록 경제(經濟)를 안정적(安定的)으로 운영하는 것이 바람직하며, (2) 자본자유화(資本自由化) 등의 진전으로 실물부문뿐만 아니라 금융부문(金融部門)도 해외(海外)로부터의 공급충격에 직면하게 될 것으로 예상되므로 임금(賃金) 등의 요소비용(要素費用) 안정과 함께 구조조정(構造調整) 및 경쟁(競爭) 촉진(促進) 등을 통하여 경제의 체질(體質)을 개선(改善)하는 노력이 요구된다는 것으로 요약할 수 있다.

In the shipping industry, it is essential to engage in the preemptive prediction of freight rate volatility through market monitoring. Considering that freight rates have already started to fall, the loss of shipping companies will soon be uncontrollable. Therefore, in this study, factors affecting the freight rates of bulk carriers, which have relatively large freight rate volatility as compared to container freight rates, were quantified and analyzed. In doing so, we intended to contribute to future shipping market monitoring. We performed an analysis using a vector error correction model and estimated the influence of six independent variables on the charter rates of bulk carriers by Handy Size, Supramax, Panamax, and Cape Size. The six independent variables included the bulk carrier fleet volume, iron ore traffic volume, ribo interest rate, bunker oil price, and Euro-Dollar exchange rate. The dependent variables were handy size (32,000 DWT) spot charter rates, Supramax 6 T/C average charter rates, Pana Max (75,000 DWT) spot charter, and Cape Size (170,000 DWT) spot charter. The study examined charter rates by size of bulk carriers, which was different from studies on existing specific types of ships or fares in oil tankers and chemical carriers other than bulk carriers. Findings revealed that influencing factors differed for each ship size. The Libo interest rate had a significant effect on all four ship types, and the iron ore traffic volume had a significant effect on three ship types. The Ribo rate showed a negative (-) relationship with Handy Size, Supramax, Panamax, and Cape Size. Iron ore traffic influenced three types of linearity, except for Panamax. The size of shipping companies differed depending on their characteristics. These findings are expected to contribute to the establishment of a management strategy for shipping companies by analyzing the factors influencing changes in the freight rates of charterers, which have a profound effect on the management performance of shipping companies.

본 논문에서는 전자화폐의 보급이 중앙은행과 은행을 통한 결제시스템에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 기초가 되는 화폐론적인 분석과 함께 전자적인 결제수단의 보급이 신용창조와 소비자의 화폐수요에 미치는 영향과 아울러 결제시스템으로서의 은행의 독점적인 지위에의 영향에 대해서 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과로서 전자화폐는 현재로서는 현금과 예금을 완전히 대체할 수 있는 화폐로서가 아니라 어디까지나 현금과 예금에 기초를 두고 있는 결제수단의 하나에 지나지 않는다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 즉 은행부채의 하나의 형태라고 규정지을 수 있다. 따라서 현 발전단계 수준의 전자화폐는 중앙은행의 통화량조절 능력과 은행의 신용창조에 의한 통화창출과 결제시스템으로서의 독점적인 지위에는 그다지 영향을 미치지 않으리라고 판단된다. 향후 전자화폐의 발전에 능동적으로 대처하기 위해서는 전자화폐에 대한 정확한 이해와 함께 현재의 신용제도가 안고 있는 제반 문제를 해결하여야 할 것이다. 특히 전자화폐의 보급으로 통화량의 변동성이 커지게 되므로 통화정책에 있어서는 통화량 관리에 중점을 두기보다는 금리의 기능을 최대한 이용하는 정책으로의 전환이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

We examine the motives of foreigner's investments in the Korean bonds by maturity and try to prove that market impacts are different by their investment maturity. Foreign investors initially focused on short-term bonds, but have expanded to mid- to long-term bonds since 2010. The previous studies found that covered interest arbitrage was the main reason for foreign investment. However, there should be some other reasons as their investment in mid- to long-term bonds might have nothing to do with arbitrage. In the empirical analysis, we found that foreign investment in bonds with less than 2 year maturity is driven by arbitrage as previous studies. However, investment in bonds with 2-5 year maturity is sensitive to the FX volatility and the stock market performance compared with the U.S. and investment in bonds with more than 5 year maturity is driven by the CDS premium differential between Korea and PIIGS countries. The more foreigners have invested mid- to long-term bonds, the stronger downward pressure has been on the bond yields. In addition, foreign investors indirectly affected the spreads. Meanwhile, the government should prepare some policy measures since concerns over side effects such as the Korean won appreciation and an abrupt capital outflow are arising.
