This study examines the effect of the wedge between voting rights and cash flow rights of controlling shareholders on the implied cost of equity. Prior studies posit that controlling shareholder's voting rights exceeding cash flow rights causes expropriating minority shareholders. Using date from 793 group-affiliated Korean firms for 10 years from 2005 to 2016, the result shows that there is a positive and significant relationship between controlling shareholders' wedge and implied cost of equity. This result implies that investors regard the controlling shareholders' wedge as potential agency cost in which they require additional risk premium because controlling shareholders have a strong incentive to pursue their private interests trough tunneling practices.

Although it has been studied for a long time in various disciplines, most of control theories remain being developed by analyzing relatively simple tasks. Even recent research on control of information systems development explains only a small part of control phenomena observed in the real world projects. This research focuses on identifying and analyzing the concepts and structures in order to make them useful for understanding and explaining control of information systems development comprehensively This investigation utilizes the complementary relationship between views on control from organizational and economic perspectives. A conceptual framework developed by integrating previous research on control allows us to analyze the development of information systems for control purposes. The results of discussion about control mechanisms and network can be used as guidelines for designing control systems in real projects. Analysis of control networks shows that control of development projects requires quite complex networks intertwining a variety of controllers and controlees. The results of this research are expected to contribute to correcting the unbalanced status of IS research which has emphasized too heavily on planning and implementation, and deepening and widening our understanding about controlling development projects. Practitioners can use the results as guidelines for designing control mechanisms and networks, and get alerted by them about the agency risks inherent in outsourced developments.

In this study, the rate of return on investment used as a proxy variable for the entity's value and financial structure (liability ratio) is related to positive balance. This is consistent with the Static Tradeoff Theory (STT) that the entity's value and financial structure are related to a positive balance because the capital expense of a debt (tax-saving effects) that is less than its equity cost before it is in financial difficulty. Also, operating profitability (EBITDA/Sales), investment safety, total asset growth, net working capital and depreciation expenses are related to negative (-) with financial structure (liability ratio). This is the result of an analysis consistent with the Pecking Order Theory (POT). Fuel costs, borrowing, total asset turnover, financial costs, and tangible asset ratios have a significant positive relationship with the debt ratio. This is consistent with the agency theory and confirms that excessive chartering expenses, such as the bankrupt H company, are the main factors that pressure the financial structure of Korean ocean carriers.

본 논문은 미국 다국적 기업의 해외 합작투자 발표가 개별 기업의 주식 가격에 미치는 영향에 관하여 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 개별 기업의 경영능력 및 대리인 비용의 존재 여부에 따라 기업의 투자의사 결정시 증권시장이 차별적으로 반응한다는 점을 가설화하였으며 이를 실증연구를 통하여 입증하였다. 평균적으로 해외 합작투자 발표 당일에 주가 상승으로 인한 평균초과수익율은 0.4%로 기업 인수 합병에서 인수 기업이 실현하는 수익률에 상응하는 수준이었다. 본 논문의 실증연구 결과는 Jensen(1986)이 제시한 '사내잉여자금-과잉투자'(Free Cash Flow - Overinvestment)가설과 대체로 일치하고 있다. 즉, 기업의 관리능력이 뛰어나고 사내에 축적된 잉여자금의 양이 적은 경우 해외 합작투자 결정은 증권시장의 호의적인 반응을 받은 반면 경영이 부진하고 사내에 유보된 잉여자금의 양이 많은 기업의 경우 투자자의 관심을 끌지 못하였음을 알 수 있다.

The paper explores how corporate payout polish depends on managers' stock-option value. Specifically, this paper examine the relationship between managers' stock-option value and the ratio of stock repurchase, and analyze the relationship between price-incentive intensity of managers' stock-option and the ratio of stock repurchase. The hypotheses mentioned above are empirically tested using 137 firms listed on the Korean Exchange(KRX). OLS and Tobit regression method are used to above hypotheses. The results of this paper are as follows: First, as managers' stock option value increases, future the ratio of stock repurchase increase. Second, as the price-incentives intensity of managers' stock option increases, the patio of stock repurchase also increase. Overall, The above results imply that managers with stock option prefer stock repurchase over cash dividends to increase private benefits.

In Korea mobile phone subscribers exceeded 1 million people in 1995, and ten million people in 1998. Prevalence of the mobile phone increased dramatically over 110% compared to the population. And all family members including children and students use one or two mobile terminal. Mobile phone is obviously necessary good more than washer, vacuum cleaner, passenger car. Our daily life with mobile communication are conveniently positioned, but communication related costs including the price of the device has become a big burden on the household. But the government does not seem to do the right role at the right time to prevent the failure of the market to further maximize consumer welfare and social welfare through fair competition. This principal-agent problems exist especially in perspective of joint use of the mobile communication network, number portability, separation of phone distribution and phone service and network neutrality among in mobile communication policies since the early 1990s up to now.

최근의 많은 연구에서 정보기술에 대한 서비스제공 및 서비스 질(qualiy)에 대한 평가와 측정도구의 개발이 활발하게 이르어져 왔다(Pitt et al 1998) 또한 서비스 주체가 인적 요인에서 무형의 매체로 전환되고 있으며, 이러한 원인은 정보기술의 응용성에서 찾을 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 서비스 관점을 정보기술의 응용분야의 한 핵심이 될 수 있는 정보통신분야의 이동 휴대통신을 중심으로 서비스 질을 평가하여 문제점과 대안을 탐색하고자 하였다. 정보통신분야는 기간산업으로서의 역할과 그 중요성이 더욱 증대되고 있으며, 개별 기업차원에서도 정보기술 인프라는 중요한 경쟁요인이 될 수 있다. 그러나 이 분야에 대한 연구가 미흡하고 단순한 지표를 통한 비교 등의 연구 방법론에 있어서도 미비하다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정보통신분야의 중요성을 인식하고 초기 단계의 이동 휴대통신 분야의 핵심역량을 규명하고 향후 서비스 전략의 성공요인을 찾아내고자 하였다. 이러한 연구를 수행하기 위해 서비스만족 변수를 대리 측정도구로 이용하여 정보통신 기술 부분, 정보제공 부분, 비용우위 및 차별화 부분을 통해 계층적으로 접근하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 크게 세부분으로 요약된다. 첫째, 정보통신기술 부분에 대해 혁신적이고 안정적일 때 서비스만족도는 우수한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 통신장비 및 부가장비의 우수성도 서비스부분에 미치는 영향력이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 정보제공과 서비스만족과의 관계에서는 필요정보에 대한 서비스 밀착도가 높으면 서비스만족도는 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 정보제공 분야의 서비스 개발력은 서비스만족도에 미치는 영향정도도 크게 작용하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 차별화 및 비용우위와 서비스만족과의 관계도 매우 유의한 것으로 분석되었다. 특히, 비용 및 요금은 서비스만족도에 결정적 영향변수로 나타났으며, 광고 및 홍보부분도 만족도의 영향변수로 분석되었다. 이러한 연구결과는 향후 서비스전략에 응용될 수 있으며, 이동 휴대통신분야의 성공요인을 가시적으로 분석할 수 있다. 본 연구의 한계점은 첫째, 실제 서비스를 제공하는 서비스 주체의 객관적인 평가가 부족하였고 이러한 상횡에서 정보통신 기술 서비스 능력이 잘 반영되지 못했다는 점을 들 수 있다. 둘째, 이동 통신의 분야별 연구를 통해 비교 평가가 세부적으로 이루어지지 못했으며 연구방법상 샘플조사의 한계와 객관적인 응답자료를 확보하기가 어려웠던 점을 들 수 있다. 마지막으로 분석결과에서는 변수간의 유의성이 있는 것으로 볼 수 있지만 측정도구가 미약하며, 향후 지속적인 연구와 측정도구의 개발이 필요하다고 볼 수 있다.

This paper empirically examines how capital structure inertia varies across industries and there is different in industries, and whether this fact is explained by product market competition using non-financial firms listed in KOSP market over periods of 1981 to 2015. In empirical test, I find that firms with more competition environment tend to have inertia behavior in making decision of capital structure. This implies that it is explained by debt discipline effect and it is substitution for product market competitions. Also I find that manager tends to take action actively making decision of capital structure when product market competition is low. Also I show that they use debt to constraint the free cash flow. As a result, I conclude that Korean non-financial firms do not have more strong inertia behavior in capital structure rather than U.S. firms. Second, using OLS estimation, inertia effect disappears while there is strong inertia effect in relationship between inertia and product market competition. This result suggests that transaction cost is not key factor in explaining inertia behavior of capital structure.

Purpose: The dynamic behavior of a bridge structure under seismic loading depends on many uncertainties, such as the nature of the seismic waves and the material and geometric properties. However, not all uncertainties have a significant impact on the dynamic behavior of a bridge structure. Since probabilistic seismic performance evaluation considering even low-impact uncertainties is computationally expensive, the uncertainties should be identified by considering their impact on the dynamic behavior of the bridge. Therefore, in this study, a global sensitivity analysis was performed to identify the main parameters affecting the dynamic behavior of bridges with I-curved girders. Method: Considering the uncertainty of the earthquake and the material and geometric uncertainty of the curved bridge, a finite element analysis was performed, and a surrogate model was developed based on the analysis results. The surrogate model was evaluated using performance metrics such as coefficient of determination, and finally, a global sensitivity analysis based on the surrogate model was performed. Result: The uncertainty factors that have the greatest influence on the stress response of the I-curved girder under seismic loading are the peak ground acceleration (PGA), the height of the bridge (h), and the yield stress of the steel (fy). The main effect sensitivity indices of PGA, h, and fy were found to be 0.7096, 0.0839, and 0.0352, respectively, and the total sensitivity indices were found to be 0.9459, 0.1297, and 0.0678, respectively. Conclusion: The stress response of the I-shaped curved girder is dominated by the uncertainty of the input motions and is strongly influenced by the interaction effect between each uncertainty factor. Therefore, additional sensitivity analysis of the uncertainty of the input motions, such as the number of input motions and the intensity measure(IM), and a global sensitivity analysis considering the structural uncertainty, such as the number and curvature of the curved girders, are required.
