We aim to confirm empirically that a corporate's R&D expenditure effect positively on its value. As a result of the regression analysis on financial statements of KSE and KOSDAQ enterprises, the sum of R&D expenditure effects positively on corporate value. Moreover, we have the result that R&D expenditure appropriated as cost has more effect on corporate value than the expenditure appropriated as asset.

This study is to analyze the existence of the real buffer effect that reflects the effect of beginning-of-period inventory stocks effect on the demand for fixed investment, and the financial buffer effect indicates the substitution effect between end-of-period inventory stock and the source of financing for fixed investment. I use panel data of 361 Korean listed non-financial firms during 1990-2003. After the crisis, it also observed whether the relationship between inventory stocks and fixed investment has altered or not. I review the theoretical connection between inventory stock and fixed investment through the paper by Bo(2004) and estimate the investment model by the method of GMM-SYS. The results show negative relation between end-of-period inventory stock and fixed investment in the whole period and each period classified, also it confirms that the relation between fixed investment and end-of-period investment is significantly negative. It can be interpreted through two aspects that firms not only use inventory stock as a buffer in response to unexpectedly high demand, but also utilize inventory stock as a source of financing for fixed investment. The results imply that firm's decision-making is much correlated with production-and-inventory stock adjustment, decision-making about fixed investment, and decision-making about financial affairs.

This study examines the effect of direct investment in Asia on firm value for nonfinancial firms listed on KRX between 2006 and 2015. We also explore whether the mediating effects of cashholdings the relationship between direct investment in Asian markets and corporate value. Recently, companies are increasing their cash holdings for risk management. Cashholdings are causing agent problems, which has a negative impact on corporate value. In this case, when the company conducts active investment activities such as foreign direct investment, it is possible to supply the appropriate funds in a timely manner, thereby cashholdings increase the possibility of success of foreign direct investment and alleviate the agent problem of cash holdings. For the analysis, the number of directly invested firms in Korean listed firms is used as the explanatory variables for the Chinese and Vietnamese markets where foreign direct investment is the most active, and cash holding is set as the moderating variable. As a result, direct investment in China and Vietnam showed a positive (+) relationship with firm value, and cashholdings have a positive the relationship between foreign direct investment and firma value. The implications of this paper are as follows. First, it is suggested that the direct value of direct investment can be enhanced the relationship between direct investment and firm value in Asia. In addition, it can be suggested that cash holdings play a role of effective investment supply in firms that implement foreign direct investment, positively affecting corporate value.

본 연구는 시장에 정보가 별로 알려져 있지 않은 증권이 많이 알려져 있는 증권보다 높은 추정위험 때문에 더 높은 수익률을 제공한다는 이론적 모형들이 시사하는 바에 기초하여, 수익률이 각 증권에 대해 시장에 알려져 있는 정보량과 역의 관계에 있다는 가설을 세우고 이를 실증분석하였다. 본 연구는 또한 기업규모가 정보량과 정의 상관관계가 있다는 점에서 기업규모보다 정확한 정보량 변수가 포함되면 기업규모효과는 사라질 것이라는 가설도 검증하였다. 미국의 상장주식들을 대상으로 횡단면 실증분석을 실행한 결과, 정보량이 평균수익률의 횡단면을 설명하는 것으로 나타난다. 정보량은 기업규모 변수가 동시에 포함될 경우에는 설명력이 떨어지지만 1월에는 기업규모효과와는 별도로 기대수익률을 설명하는 것으로 나타난다. 한편 기업규모의 변화 또는 기관투자자 지분율의 변화시 수익률이 변하는지에 대한 F-검정을 실시한 경우에도, 정보량은 1월중에는 기업규모 효과와는 달리 통계적으로 유의한 수익률 차이를 보이고 있다. 이와 같은 실증결과들은 정보량 효과가 어느 정도 존재함을 의미한다. 이와 같은 결론은 기존의 CAPM 관련 실증연구들이 주장하는 ${\beta}$의 무용성에 대한 논쟁은 아직 끝나지 않았음을 시사한다. 즉, 각 증권에 대한 모든 정보가 시장에 완전히 알려지지 않은 현실하에서는 추정위험을 감안한 ${\beta}$를 이용하여야만 CAPM을 검증할 수 있는 것이다.

Despite the great success of the derivatives market, several concerns were expressed regarding the additional volatilitystemming from program trading during the expiration of derivatives. This paper examines the impact of the expiration of the KOSPI 200 index derivatives on cash market of Korea Stock Exchange(KSE). The KOSPI 200 index derivatives market has a unique settlement price determination process. The settlement price for the expiration of derivatives is determined by call auction during the last 10 minutes after the trades for matured derivatives are finalized. We analyze typical expiration day effects such as price, volatility, and volume effects. With high frequency data, we find that there are strong expiration day effects in the KSE and try to interpret the results with the unique settlement procedures of the KOSPI 200 cash and derivatives markets.

Using 1855 observations from 5 years-371 firms panel data during 2010 to 2014 in Chinese stock exchanges, this study examines the impact of managers' ownership on R & D expenditures. The empirical study finds that when firms are state-owned, managers' ownership have negative relation with the level of R & D expenses as well as the likelihood of executing R & D investment, implying that managers are less likely to invest in high risky projects due to managerial ownership's entrenchment effects to pursue private benefits rather than alignment of interest effect as shareholders. The empirical study also finds that when firms are private-owned, managerial ownership are inverse U shaped related to the level of R & D expenses, implying that managers are less likely to invest in high risky projects due to increasing risk aversion resulting from concentration of private wealth at its high level while managers are more likely to invest in high risky projects due to increasing incentives as shareholders at its low level. The results support that the effects of managerial ownership on R & D expenses may be different according to the ownership type of Chinese listed firms.

Using an event study, this paper investigates stock price reactions on Korean listed firms' convertible bond (CB) issue announcements over the sample period of January 2000 to November 2007. This study finds that on the Korean Security market, the CB issue announcements are associated with an increase in shareholder wealth on the announcement date. An information leakage by insider traders is also observable at preannouncement dates. Unlike the prior studies that indicate a prevailing negative effect on the announcements, this paper shows that domestic CB issue announcements as well as offshore ones yield a positive impact on the stock prices. This presents that in terms of stock price reactions to the CB issue announcements, the two CB issue markets show the positively same effects on shareholder wealth for the post-2000 period. For its drivers, this paper suggests that on the Korean market, firm size have negative relationship with the increase in the wealth incurred by the announcements. By contrast, an issue to maturity, a growth opportunity, and a relative issue size make a positive impact on it.

The aim of this study is to analyze the Weekend and January effect in the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) using daily closing prices of GSE-All Share Index (ASI) and Composite Index (CI) between the period of January 4th, 2005 and December 31st, 2013. The dataset covers the period of 2005 to 2010 (6 years) for the ASI and 2011 to 2013 (3 years) for the CI. The following results are obtained based on a parametric regression using dummy variables. First, no weekly effect or anomaly is documented for both GSE-ASI and GSE-CI. Second, market abnormalities are captured for both GSE-ASI and GSE-CI over their respective entire periods. However, no consistent April effect is found for ASI when the period was segregated into two periods of three years. The April effect is uncovered for the GSE-ASI at 5% significant level while the January effect is found for the GSE-CI at 1% significant level.

This paper empirically analyses the effect of labor union on firm's profit rate in Korea. For this purpose a panel data set has been constructed for the period of 1990-2009 using "TS2000", and the data set has been subdivided into two: one is the 'non-variant group' in which firm's union status has not changed, and the other is 'variant group' in which firm's union status has changed from non-union to union during the sample period. It has been found that for 'non-variant group' there is no significant union effect on profit rate. However, for 'variant group' the presence of union has been found to decrease firm' profit rate in terms of return on equity.

본 연구에서는 1997년부터 2001년 기간 동안 증권거래소와 KOSDAQ 시장에서 액면분할을 실시한 기업을 대상으로 액면분할의 이사회 공시일을 사건일로 하여 사건일 전후 30일간의 주가, 유동성 지표, 기업수익성 지표 등을 이용하여 액면분할 공시에 따른 시장의 반응을 분석하고, 아울러 액면분할의 신호효과와 유동성 효과를 검증하였다. 본 연구에 이용된 자료는 검증기간 동안 다른 정보의 유입이 없는 순수자료를 이용하여 거래소 상장기업 72개와 KOSDAQ 100개 기업이 최종적으로 표본에 선정되었다. 본 연구에서 액면분할을 실시한 기업들은 두 시장 모두에서 대체로 양의 초과수익률을 나타내었고, 분할비율이 높을수록 양의 초과수익률이 상대적으로 더 강하게 지속되었다. 이런 결과는 미래 기업수익이 호전된다는 신호를 보내기 위하여 액면분할을 실시한다는 신호효과로 인한 것이 아니며, 동시에 고주가의 주식이 액면분할로 투자자금에 제약이 있는 투자자가 투자 가능한 저주가로 전환됨으로써 유동성의 증대를 가져온 결과라고 보기에도 무리가 있다. 액면분할이라는 그 자체가 논리적 근거도 없이 투자자에게 호재로 받아들여져 거래량의 증가를 가져왔다고 판단된다. 이런 현상은 KOSDAQ 시장에서 더욱 확연하게 나타났는데, 1997년부터 2001년까지의 분석기간 중에 KOSDAQ 시장의 무분별한 투기적 열풍이 이런 현상의 원인을 제공한 것이라고 추론된다. 액면분할이 한국시장의 투자자에게 호재로 받아들여진 것에는 액면분할 이후 대체로 주가가 양의 초과수익률을 나타내는 경우가 있었다는 과거의 경험적 사례가 작용한 것으로 아니가 예상된다.
