This study analyzed how Korean firms' recapitalization affects their capital structure decision and firm value. Recapitalization was categorized into three groups according to the influence of the debt to equity ratio: debt ratio-increasing-recapitalization(capital reduction with refund, cash dividend), debt ratio-unchanging-recapitalization (capital reduction without refund, retirement of repurchased stocks), and debt ratio-decreasing-recapitalization(exercise the rights for convertible bonds, bond with stock warrants, exchangeable bonds and stock options). This article highlights how the relationship between the firms' recapitalization and the capital structure decision driven by the change in debt to equity ratio through the recapitalization should affect the firm value. The whole recapitalization sample used for this analysis comprised 22,814 enterprises listed on the Korea Exchange that were analyzed over the 16-year period from 2000 to 2015. To summarize the results of this Panel Data Analysis, firstly, when a firm executes debt ratio-increasing-recapitalization and debt ratio-decreasing-recapitalization at the period of t-1, the debt to equity ratio, which is increased or decreased, should affect the firm's debt capacity in the same period, then, at the period of t, the firm establishes a leverage policy to readjust the debt to equity ratio the other way around. These adjustments of debt-paying-ability from the leverage policy, including the capital structure decision, finally affect the firm value. Secondly, when a firm implements the debt ratio-unchanging-recapitalization in the period of t-1, the debt to equity ratio, which is neutral, should not affect the firm's capital structure decision. But, the firm value is positively affected by the influence of that recapitalization. Conclusively, we acknowledge a firm which carries out the recapitalization balances its capital structure to the optimal level of leverage and that the capital structure decision positively affects the corporate value.

Simple Power Analysis(SPA) and Differential Power Analysis(DPA) attacks are Side Channel Attacks(SCA) which were introduced in 1999 by Kocher et al [2]. SPA corresponds to attacks in which an adversary directly recovers key material from the inspection of a single measurement trace (i.e. power consumption or electromagnetic radiation). DPA is a more sophisticated attacks in which the leakage corresponding to different measurement traces (i.e. different plaintexts encrypted under the same key) is combined. Defenses against SPA and DPA are difficult, since they essentially only reduce the signal the adversary is reading, PA and DPA. This paper presents a study on rekeying and sponged-based approach against SCA with current secure schemes. We also propose a fixed ISAP scheme with more secure encryption and authentication based on secure re-keying and sponge functions.

In this paper, we examine the impact of family ownership mechanism on the firm's debt policy. Our results show that family firms tend to have a lower debt level, compared with non-family firms. Foreign investors are found to lead to a reduction in the firm's debt level through their monitoring incentives for dominating large shareholders. The firm's profitablily is related to a lower level of debt, whereas higher tangible assets and firm size are positively associated with high debt ratios due to the possibility of large collateral assets. Some implications are that foreign investors can reduce the agency costs of dominating large shareholders in family firms through monitoring activities, thus enhancing the efficiency of business decision-makings.

This study is to define the relationship between capital structure and the market share in the global shipping market, estimating the debt-equity ratio. To analyze the impact of the debt-equity ratio on market share, this study collected data from the 100 largest shipping companies from 2010 to 2017. Results identified that global shipping lines moderate their debt-equity rates to 62%, and all of them strategically utilize debt in order to increase market share in global shipping market. In comparison between the group focused on cargo volume and another group focused on freight rates, it is found that the group focused on cargo volume increase their handling cargo volume through increasing the debt rates. Another group used debt rate for reducing the freight rate and enhancing market power. Furthermore, after classifying the samples into high-growth and low-growth companies, this study compared the group focused on cargo volume and another group focused on freight rates. As a result, the low-growth group showed more significant impacts of the debt rate on market share than the high-growth group. The results of this study provide useful insight for future strategic decision making of shipping lines in the global shipping market.

Although numerous theoretical and empirical studies on the capital structure have been performed, the studies on the capital structure of the high potential enterprises have not been worked. This paper performed empirical analyses for the first time to find out the determinants of capital structure of the high potential enterprises of Korea using the financial data of the manufacturing high potential enterprises listed on the Korea Exchange and KOSDAQ during 2010~2016. The results of regression analyses with debt ratio as dependent variable and profitability, firm size, asset tangibility and non-debt tax shield as independent variables show that the coefficients were relatively significant. The variables of the profitability and the tangibility were found to have positive relationship with the debt ratio. The non-debt tax shield were found to have in general positive relation with the leverage.

본 논문은 기독인 경영기업과 일반기업의 자본조달전략에 차이가 존재하는지를 미국 기독인 경영기업의 최고경영자를 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 실증분석하였다. 실증분석에 앞서 성경에 기초하여 부채에 관한 원리를 찾아서 정리하였다. 그 다음 도출된 차입원리에 기초하여 네 개의 가설을 설정하였다. 중심된 가설은 기독인 경영기업과 일반기업의 부채비율에 차이가 존재하는가 이었다. t-검증을 한 결과 두 집단의 부채비율에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 그러나 일부의 기독인 경영기업은 무부채정책을 추구하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구는 기업간의 상이한 자본구조의 차이를 성경적으로 접근하여 설명을 시도하였다는 데 그 의의가 있다.

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.

In this paper, the design of a miniaturized wideband tapered slot antenna using slots combining various types of fan-shaped structures was studied. To miniaturize the tapered slot antenna and make it operate at low frequencies, slots combining fan-shaped structures were added to the ground plane of the tapered slot antenna. The miniaturization design process of the final proposed antenna was systematically explained by comparing the input reflection coefficient and gain variations when each fan-shaped structure was appended, compared to when there was no slot. The proposed miniaturized wideband tapered slot antenna using slots combining the fan-shaped structures was fabricated on an RF-35 substrate and its measured characteristics were compared with the simulation results. Experiment results show that the frequency band with a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2 was 2.59-11.39 GHz, and gain within the band was measured to be 3.3-7.0 dBi. The proposed miniaturized wideband tapered slot antenna can be reduced in size by 36.9%, compared to when there are no slots in the ground plane.

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.

When I examined the corporate financing statistics in Korea, I have recognized that there are several trends of them. First, large enterprises use bank loan and direct financing like corporate bond as debt. Second, small and medium companies mainly use bank loan only. So I argue that there is sample selection bias in corporate debt choice and using sample selection methodology is more adequate when analysing the behavior in corporate debt choice. Therefore I have tested panel sample selection model, using the listed korean firm data from 1990 to 2013 and I have found that the panel sample selection model is appropriate.
