Volatility is one of the variables that the Black-Scholes model requires for option pricing. It is an unknown variable at the present time, however, since the option price can be observed in the market, implied volatility can be derived from the price of an option at any given point in time and can represent the market's expectation of future volatility. Although volatility in the Black-Scholes model is constant, when calculating implied volatility, it is common to observe a volatility smile which shows that the implied volatility is different depending on the strike prices. We implement supervised learning to target implied volatility by adding V-KOSPI to ease volatility smile. We examine the estimation performance of KOSPI200 index options' implied volatility using various Machine Learning algorithms such as Linear Regression, Tree, Support Vector Machine, KNN and Deep Neural Network. The training accuracy was the highest(99.9%) in Decision Tree model and test accuracy was the highest(96.9%) in Random Forest model.

This paper proposes quantitative investment strategies for KOSPI200 index futures using VKOSPI and control chart. Stochastic control chart is employed to decide when to take a position as well as what position out of long and short should be taken by monitoring whether VKOSPI or difference of VKOSPI touches the control limit lines. The strategies include 4 approaches, which are traditional control chart and 2-Area control chart coupled with VKOSPI and its difference, respectively. Computational experiments using real KOSPI200 futures index for recent 3 years are conducted to show the excellence of the proposed investment strategies under control chart framework.

KOSPI 200 index options market has the highest trading volume in the global options markets. The risk and return structure of options contracts are very complex. Volatility complicates options trading because volatility plays a central role in options pricing process. This study develops a trading system for KOSPI 200 index options trading using KOSPI 200 volatility index. We design a database system to handle the complex options information such as price, volume, maturity, strike price, and volatility using Oracle DBMS. We then develop options trading strategies to test how the volatility index is related to the prices of complicated options trading strategies. Back test procedure is presented with PL/SQL of Oracle DBMS. We simulate the suggested trading system using historical data set of KOSPI 200 index options from December 2008 to April 2012.

As a result of the United States (U.S) -China trade conflict, the recent instability of the stock market has led many people to invest in Bitcoin, a commodity that many previous studies have interpreted as a safe asset. However, recent Bitcoin market price fluctuations suggest that the asset's stability stems from speculative purchasing trends. Therefore, classifying the characteristics of Bitcoin assets can be an important reference point in analyzing relevant accounting information. To determine whether Bitcoin is a safe asset, this study analyzed the correlation between Bitcoin and economic indicators to verify whether gold and Bitcoin responded similarly in time series analyses. These show that the regression explanatory power between the price of gold and bitcoin is low, thus no relation between the two assets could be drawn. Additionally, the Granger causality analyses of six individual economic variables and Bitcoin did not establish any notable causality. This can be interpreted that short-term price fluctuations have a significant impact on the nature of Bitcoin as an asset.

제주도는 용수의 대부분을 지하수에 의존하므로 지하수위의 예측 및 관리는 매우 중요한 사항이다. 제주도의 지층은 화산활동에 의한 현무암이 겹겹이 쌓여있는 형태를 나타내며 육지의 지층구조와 매우 다른 복잡한 형태를 나타낸다. 이에 따라 제주도 지하수위의 예측은 매우 난해하며, 최근에는 딥러닝 인공지능 모델을 활용하여 지하수위를 예측하는 연구사례가 증가하고 있다. 기존의 연구들은 인공지능 모델들이 지하수위를 적절히 예측한다고 보고하고 있으나 예측의 적절성에 대한 판단기준을 제시하지 못하였으므로 이에 대한 명확한 제시가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목표는 인공지능을 활용한 지하수위 예측오차가 허용 가능한지 판단할 수 있는 기준을 제시함에 있다. 이를 위해 전 세계의 과거 20년 동안 관련 연구결과들을 수집 및 분석하였으며, 분석 결과 인공지능 모델의 지하수위 예측오차는 지하수위 변동성이 큰 지역일수록 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이것은 지하수위의 변동형태가 크고 복잡할수록 인공지능 모델의 지하수위 예측성능은 낮아진다는 것을 의미한다. 이 관계를 명확하게 나타내기 위해 지하수위 최대변동폭과 평균제곱근오차 및 최대오차와의 관계를 선형회귀식으로 도출하여 허용가능한 예측오차 기준을 제시하였다. 그리고 기존 연구들에서 제시한 Nash-Sutcliffe 효율성지수와 결정계수를 분석하여 선형회귀식에 의한 기준을 보완할 수 있는 추가적인 기준을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 인공지능 모델에 의한 지하수위 예측결과의 적절성 판단기준은 향후 지속적으로 증가하는 인공지능 예측연구에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Stock markets perpetually accumulate information. During trading hours the price instantaneously reacts to new information, but accumulated overnight information reacts simultaneously on the opening price. This can create opening price uctuations. This study explores the overnight information e ects on intra-da stock market volatility. GARCH models and the VKOSPI model are provided. Empirical data includes daily opening and closing prices of the KOSPI 200 index and the VKOSPI from March $3^{rd}$ 2008 to June $22^{th}$ 2010. Empirical results show that the VKOSPI signi cantly decrease during trading time when positiv overnight information moves the Korean stock upward. This study provides useful information to investors since the Korea Exchange plans to introduce a futures market for the VKOSPI soon.

Recently, many studies have been conducted to increase the accuracy of stock price prediction by analyzing candlestick charts using artificial intelligence techniques. However, these studies failed to consider the time-series characteristics of candlestick charts and to take into account the emotional state of market participants in data learning for stock price prediction. In order to overcome these limitations, this study produced input data by combining volatility index and candlestick charts to consider the emotional state of market participants, and used the data as input for a new method proposed on the basis of combining variantion autoencoder (VAE) and attention mechanisms for considering the time-series characteristics of candlestick chart. Fifty firms were randomly selected from the S&P 500 index and their stock prices were predicted to evaluate the performance of the method compared with existing ones such as convolutional neural network (CNN) or long-short term memory (LSTM). The results indicated the method proposed in this study showed superior performance compared to the existing ones. This study implied that the accuracy of stock price prediction could be improved by considering the emotional state of market participants and the time-series characteristics of the candlestick chart.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the connectedness between categorical economic policy uncertainty (monetary, fiscal, trade and foreign exchange policy uncertainty) indexes and option-implied volatility index in Korea, Japan and the US. Design/methodology/approach - This paper employs the Diebold-Ylmaz (2012) model based on a VAR and generalized forecast error variance decomposition. This paper also conducts regression analyses to investigate whether the volatility indexes are explained by categorical policy uncertainty indexes. Findings - First, we find the total connectedness is stronger in Korea and Japan relative to the US. Second, monetary, fiscal, and foreign exchange policy uncertainty indexes are connected to each other but trade policy uncertainty index is not. Third, the volatility index in Japan and the US is mainly associated with monetary policy uncertainty while the volatility index in Korea is explained by fiscal policy uncertainty index. Research implications or Originality - To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the connectedness among categorical policy uncertainty indexes and the volatility index in Korea, Japan, and the US. The empirical results on the connectedness suggest that transparent policy and communication with the market in one type of policy would reduce the uncertainty in other policies.

본 연구의 목적은 IMF구제금융이전의 부도기업과 IMF구제금융 이후의 부도기업을 비교하여 IMF구제금융 이후의 부도원인을 파악하고 향후 관리방향을 제안하는데 있다. IMF구제금융 이후의 부도기업들은 예상외로 유동성이 매우 악화된 상태이고, 또한 높은 부채비율과 이자지급으로 경상이익과 순이익이 매우 저조하였다. 또한 매출액 대비 수익성지표는 매우 양호한 수준을 유지한 것으로 나타나 결국 부채구조와 자산구조의 효율성이 수익에 비해 매우 저조하였음을 볼 수 있었다. 따라서 IMF구제금융 이후의 기업경영관리는 우선적으로 현금흐름을 철저히 관리하여 충분한 채무지급능력과 운전자본을 확보하는 것이 중요하며, 매출액대비 수익성 중에서 영업이익률보다는 경상이익률과 순이익률에 초점을 맞추어 재무구조에 대한 관리를 강화해야 한다. 특히 매출이나 이익에 투하된 자본을 중점적으로 관리함으로써 수익성이 없는 자산과 수익성이 높은 자산을 선별하여 자산구조를 효율적으로 운영하는 것이 매우 중요하다.
