The world has witnessed the dramatic expansion of international construction markets during the last decades, particularly around the developing economies and energy resource-rich countries. However, despite the booming markets, the risks of emerging regions have also increased under the rapidly changing environments confronting the global contractors. Most of all, success in overseas business mainly depends on selecting the right market to enter. Accordingly, the right market selection requires global firms to carefully carry out the scientific market entry decision by evaluating country risks, market prospects, firm's capability, level of competition, and among others. This study aims at developing a market entry model by the use of real option analysis (ROA) and scenario planning, which addresses the corporate strategic flexibility against the uncertainties encompassing the overseas construction markets. Based on the suggested approach, global contractors are expected to make a better decision rather than a typically static approach in pursuing, postponing, or abandoning a prospective market to their capacity with a concurrent consideration of uncertainties as well as its option value.

주식시장에서 주식수익률과 수익률변동성은 음의 관계를 갖는 것으로 알려져 있으나 개별기업 수준에서 양의 관계가 나타나기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 상황에 따라 양/음으로 다르게 나타나는 수익률-변동성 관계가 실물옵션 존재 유/무에 기인할 수 있음을 제안하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 넉아웃 옵션(Knock-out option)이 내재된 주가연계상품(ELS)의 성과를 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 추정한다. 옵션과 기초자산을 결합하여 구성되는 ELS는 상품개발 시점에서 그 수익구조가 결정되며, 실현수익률은 미래의 시장흐름에 의하여 결정된다. 현재 ELS는 옵션가격의 결정, 수익구조의 결정, 그리고 수익률 추정이라는 개별 과정이 각각 옵션발행자, 상품개발자, 고객관리자 등에 의하여 별도로 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 개별 과정을 통합한 시뮬레이션 모형을 구축한 후, 이 모형의 결과(옵션가격, 수익구조, 실현수익률)를 기존 관행의 결과와 비교하여 본 연구에서 제안한 시뮬레이션 모형의 유용성을 제안한다. 분석 대상은 국내 장외파생상품 및 ELS의 기준이 되는 KOSPI 200 지수로 1990년 1월 3일부터 2002년 12월 30일까지의 1일 자료를 이용한다.

This study examines the determinants of the long-run stock price performance of the firms that granted stock options between 1997 and 2002. We divide the sample into the firms run by the owner and those run by the professional manager. If the primary reason for granting stock options is reduction of the agency costs between the manager and shareholders, the effect of stock options is likely to be more pronounced in the firms run by the professional manager. We find that the long-run abnormal returns of the firms run by the professional manager are negatively associated with the shareholdings by the manager and the book-to-market value and are positively associated with the earnings growth and the size of the outstanding stock options. In contrast, the long-run abnormal returns of the firms run by the owner are negatively associated with the cash flows rate and the sales growth rate and are positively associated with the firm size. This is consistent with the argument that the agency costs arising from the conflicts between the manager and shareholders are an important determinant of the post-stock option granting long-run stock price performance only in the firms run by the professional manager. The results also suggest that stock options in the firms run by the owner are likely to be used for the purposes such as additional compensation, a signaling device, a means that reduce the agency costs within firms.

본 연구는 앞으로 우리나라에 증권선물 옵션거래제도가 도입될 것에 대비하여 선물규제체계와 선물회계제도를 연구하는데 촛점을 두고 있다. 선물규제법체계 및 시장규제의 동향에 대해서는 미국, 영국, 일본 등 선물거래가 급속도로 발전하고 있는 금융선진국의 경험적 사례를 사적으로 연구하고 선물규제에 관한 제반의 문제점을 파악함으로서 앞으로 우리나라에 선물거래가 도입될 경우 이들 문제점에 대해 어떻게 대응할 것인가를 모색하였다. 특히 시장규제에 관해서는 1996년에 도입이 예정되어 있는 주가지수선물거래의 도입이 현물 주식시장에 미치는 영향을 집중적으로 분석하고 규제상의 고려사항을 제시하였다. 한편 우리나라에 증권선물거래가 도입되면 이에 대응하여 선물거래의 회계처리기준과 시가정보의 공시기준이 마련되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 선물거래의 회계처리에 있어서 손익의 인식기준 및 헷지회계의 기준을 설정함에 있어서의 고려사항을 제시함과 동시에 선물거래의 공시 기준설정시의 고려사항을 아울러 제시하고 있다.

Option pricing models using L$\acute{e}$evy processes are suggested as an alternative to the Black-Scholes model since empirical studies showed that the Black-Sholes model could not reflect the movement of underlying assets. In this paper, we investigate whether the Variance Gamma model can reflect the movement of underlying assets in the Korean stock market better than the Black-Scholes model. For this purpose, we estimate parameters and perform likelihood ratio tests using KOSPI 200 data based on the density for the log return and the option pricing formula proposed in Madan et al. (1998). We also calculate some statistics to compare the models and examine if the volatility smile is corrected through regression analysis. The results show that the option price estimated under the Variance Gamma process is closer to the market price than the Black-Scholes price; however, the Variance Gamma model still cannot solve the volatility smile phenomenon.

Option pricing model in finance has been applied to price non-financial options, called real options. The real option valuation method is ideally suited to irreversible decision making under uncertainty, including the need to determine the optimal time to act and even change between alternative courses of action as information is collected. Therefore, the real option valuation method is expected to provide a superior and less subjective approach to determining optimal strategies for water resources supply projects, which have been reported to have huge risks due to uncertainties, and investors and policy makers need to build an optimal strategy - when and if to invest - with uncertainties and managerial flexibilities considered.

The option pricing of Black와 Scholes (1973) and Merton (1973) has been widely reported to fail to reflect the time varying volatility of financial time series in many real applications. For example, Duan (1995) proposed GARCH option pricing method through Monte Carlo simulation. However, financial time series is known to follow a fat-tailed and leptokurtic probability distribution, which is not explained by Duan (1995). In this paper, in order to overcome such defects, we proposed the option pricing method based on GARCH models with normal mixture errors. According to the analysis of KOSPI200 option price data, the option pricing based on GARCH models with normal mixture errors outperformed the option pricing based on GARCH models with normal errors in the unstable period with high volatility.

As a possible alternative to Traditional Discounted Cash Flow Method, "Option Pricing Model" has drawn academic attentions for the last a few decades. However, it has failed to replace traditional DCF method practically due to its mathematical complexity. This paper introduces an option pricing valuation model specifically adjusted for the natural resource development projects. We add market information and industry-specific features into the model so that the model remains objective as well as realistic after the adjustment. The following two features of natural resource development projects take central parts in model construction; product price is a unique source of cash flow's uncertainty, and the projects have cost structure from capital-intense industry, in which initial capital cost takes most part of total cost during the projects. To improve the adaptability of Option Pricing Model specifically to the natural resource development projects, we use Two-Factor Model and Long-term Asset Model for the analysis. Although the model introduced in this paper is still simple and reflects limited reality, we expect an improvement in applicability of option pricing method for the evaluation of natural resource development projects can be made through the process taken in this paper.

Option issuers generally utilize Dynamic Delta Hedging(DDH) technique to avoid the risk resulting from continuously changing option value. DDH duplicates payoff of option position by adjusting hedge position according to the delta value from Black-Scholes(BS) model in order to maintain risk neutral state. DDH, however, is not able to guarantee optimal hedging performance because of the weaknesses caused by impractical assumptions inherent in BS model. Therefore, this study presents a methodology for dynamic option hedge using artificial neural network(ANN) to enhance hedging performance and show the superiority of the proposed method using various computational experiments.
