This paper explores the mean and volatility spillover effects among Chinese, Korean, and the U.S. stock markets during the Asian and global financial crises. We found that, during the Asian Financial crisis, there was no mean spillover effect to the Chinese stock markets. However, there were reciprocal mean spillover effects between the U.S. and the Korean market. This implies that Korean market was open, while Chinese market was secluded from the international financial market at that time. The negative volatility spillover effect between the U.S. and China reinforces this finding. During the global financial crisis, there was reciprocal mean spillover effect between the U.S. and China, and between the U.S. and Korea. This may reflect the fact that Chinese market has opened to the international financial market. However, the volatility spillover effect does not exist between China and the U.S., while the U.S. and Korea has reciprocal volatility spillover effect to each other. These findings may imply that China is still in the process of opening her stock market to international investors.

As the subprime mortgage crisis spread globally, it depressed not only the financial market, but also the construction business in Korea. In fact, according to CERIK, the BSI of the construction businesses plunged from 80 points in December 2006 to 14.6 points in November 2008, and the extent of the depression in the housing sector was particularly serious. In this respect, this paper analyzes the influence of the financial market fluctuation on the housing market before and after the Global Financial Crisis using VECM. The periods from January 2000 to December 2007 and January 2008 to October 2015, before and after the financial crisis, were set as Models 1 and 2, respectively. The results are as follows. First, when the economy is good, the Gangnam housing market is an attractive one for investment. However, when it is depressed, the Gangnam housing market changes in response to the macroeconomic fluctuations. Second, the Gangbuk and Gangnam housing markets showed different responses to fluctuations in the financial market. Third, when the economy is bad, the effect of low interest rates is limited, due to the housing market risk.

The purpose of this study is to use the EGARCH model and Granger causality test to analyze how the change in the BDI affects the Korean stock price volatility. The main analysis results are summarized as follows. First, according to the results of the mean equation, the change in the BDI is significant in large-cap stocks, as well as in the manufacturing, service, and chemistry indexes, but not in others. This implies that the Korean stock market does not respond appropriately to the maritime market situation; further, the increase in demand for raw materials has not led to a real economic recovery. Second, in the result of the variance equation, the coefficient on the change in the BDI is negative(-), and the change in the BDI is significant for all size indexes. Particularly, the change in the BDI has a greater impact on the volatility of small-cap stocks than that of large-cap stocks. The results of the analysis of the sector indexes were statistically significant for the service, financial, construction, and electric and electronics industries, but not for the manufacturing and chemical industries. In particular, the changes in the BDI have the greatest impact on the construction industry. Third, according to the Granger causality test results, the change in the BDI leads the financial industry and construction industry. There is, however, no relationship between the BDI and the other indexes. This shows that change in the shipping freight index can be used to predict the volatility in the Korean stock market. This can help investors and policymakers make better decisions.

선물의 만기효과는 선물의 만기일에 가까워질수록 선물가격의 변동성이 증가하는 현상으로 사무엘슨 효과라고도 하는데, 이는 선물가격의 행태를 이해하고 투자전략과 헤지전략을 수립하는 데 매우 중요하다. 그 동안 미국을 비롯한 선진국에서 이에 대한 많은 실증연구가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 KSE의 KOSPI 200 지수선물과 KOFEX의 CD 금리선물, 국채선물, 미국달러선물, 금선물을 대상으로 선물가격의 만기효과를 검정하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저, Conover 제곱순위검정과 F-검정의 결과, KOSPI 200 지수선물에서는 만기일에 가까워질수록 변동성이 증가하는 만기효과가 나타난 반면에 CD 금리선물과 국채선물에서는 만기일에 가까워질수록 변동성이 오히려 감소하는 역 만기효과가 나타났다. 그러나 미국달러선물과 금선물에서는 만기효과를 판단하기가 어려웠다. 나아가, 연도효과를 통제한 회귀분석 결과, KOSPI 200 지수선물에서는 5% 수준에서 유의한 만기효과가 나타났다. 이는 금융선물에서 만기효과를 처음으로 발견한 Milonas(1986)의 연구와 일치하지만, Chen-Duan-Hung(1999)의 연구와는 상반된다. 그리고 CD 금리선물에서는 1% 수준에서, 그리고 국채선물에서는 5% 수준에서 각각 유의한 역 만기효과가 나타났으며, 미국달러와 금 선물에서는 만기효과가 나타나지 않았다. 또한 CD 금리선물을 제외한 KOSPI 200 지수, 국채, 미국달러 및 금 선물에서 모두 1% 수준에서 유의한 연도효과가 나타났다. 이는 Milonas-Vora(1985), Khoury-Yourougou(1993), Galloway-Kolb(1996) 등의 연구와 일치한다.

Cho and Shin (2016) recently demonstrated that an integrated HAR model has a forecast advantage over the HAR model of Corsi (2009). Recalling that realized volatilities of financial assets have asymmetries, we add a leverage term to the integrated HAR model, yielding the LIHAR model. Out-of-sample forecast comparisons show superiority of the LIHAR model over the HAR and IHAR models. The comparison was made for all the 20 realized volatilities in the Oxford-Man Realized Library focusing specially on the DJIA, the S&P 500, the Russell 2000, and the KOSPI. Analysis of the realized volatility data sets reveal apparent long-memory and asymmetry. The LIHAR model takes advantage of the long-memory and asymmetry and produces better forecasts than the HAR, IHAR, LHAR models.

This study analyzed and verified panel data based on CSMAR (China Stock Market & Accounting Research) DB from 2002 to 2014 in order to find out significant differences of conservative accounting before and after Chinese companies adopted international accounting standards. Financial changes in companies can occur at the point of change in accounting standards, and as the difference would affect conservative accounting, it is important to understand conservatism in financial transaction. In this study, earnings per share and price, return on equity, and debt ratio were measured. As a result of analysis, conservative accounting has increased after the introduction of accounting standards, and as the debt ratio was higher, the proportion of conservative accounting was higher. Thus, at a certain point of change in accounting standards, companies apply conservative accounting in order to improve reliability in an unstable future financial environment. Therefore, this study is expected not only to practically influence business practice in changes in GAAP rules but also to provide useful guidance for future studies.

The importance of social responsibility such as ethical management and social contribution activities is emphasized for the sustainable growth of companies. Although there is a great deal of research on corporate social responsibility due to the increase in social interest and expectation, most of them have been limited to research on general manufacturing industry. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of social responsibility activities on financial performance. In addition, we want to analyze the difference in the financial performance of companies with excellent social responsibility activities announced by the Institute of Economic Justice and others. The analysis period is from 2011 to 2016, and we analyze using the robust regression methodology which is relatively effective in solving the autocorrelation and this dispersion problem. First, it is proved that the higher the KEJI index, the more positive effect on financial performance. In addition, we found that there is a significant difference in the financial performance of companies with excellent social responsibility activities and those with other social responsibility activities. These results will have important implications for establishing a firm's financial strategy and will serve as useful information for the financial industry that is striving for sustainable management.

This research analyzes the determinants of Korea's trade using the Gravity model, Chow test and panel data anaysis. According to the pooled panel OLS analysis using the gravity model and Chow-test, Korea's trade patterns before and after the 2008 financial crisis are heterogeneous. Variables of basic gravity model, GDP per capita, distance, and population, identically showed positive and significant correlation with trade volume before and after financial crisis, but also equally showed the decrease in absolute value of coefficient. On the other hands, Overseas Direct Investments(ODI) variable showed the increase in absolute value of coefficient. But TCI was no longer significant. This research is significant in that it is able to show the strategy for the long term growth in Korea's volume of international trade through econometric analysis based on data of 55 trading partner of Korea.

This article investigates the usefulness of the skewed Student-t distribution in modeling the long memory volatility property that might be present in the daily returns of two Australian financial series; the ASX200 stock index and AUD/USD exchange rate. For this purpose we assess the performance of FIGARCH and FIAPARCH Value-at-Risk (VaR) models based on the normal, Student-t, and skewed Student-t distribution innovations. Our results support the argument that the skewed Student-t distribution models produce more accurate VaR estimates of Australian financial markets than the normal and Student-t distribution models. Thus, consideration of skewness and excess kurtosis in asset return distributions provides appropriate criteria for model selection in the context of long memory volatility models in Australian stock and foreign exchange markets.
