Under conditions of increasing environmental uncertainty, firms' risk management become important. This study examines the impact of foreign currency derivative usage on firm value using 3,004 Korean non-financial firms from 2002 to 2007. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between foreign currency derivative usage and firm value for the whole period and from 2002 to 2004 when exchange rate was relatively less volatile. But form 2005 to 2007 when exchange rate was volatile, foreign currency derivative usage gave significant negative impact on firm value, whereas when contract value was used, the relatinship was significantly positive. These results might be come from the characteristics of contract value and fair value of foreign currency derivatives. increased firm value when contract value was used as foreign currency derivative usage measure. But when fair value was used, there was no significance. For control variables, major shareholders ownership and foreign blockholders ownership was positively related with firm value.

본 연구는 외환위기 발생 이후 취해진 고금리정책이 이후의 환율안정에 기여하였는가를 살펴보고 있다. 완전 변동환율제도로 이행된 1997년 12월 이후의 일별자료를 대상으로 표준적인 시계열모형을 사용하여 분석한 주요 결과는 금리상승이 환율의 평가절상을 유도하였다는 것이다. 축약형모형(reduced form regression)에서 나타난 환율의 금리에 대한 탄력성은, 부도율과 같은 위험(risk)변수를 통제한 단순회귀방정식뿐 아니라 VAR모형에서도 1을 소폭 상회하는 정도의 추정치를 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 비록 외환위기 이후 환율안정화의 가장 큰 원동력이 외환유동성의 회복이었음에도 불구하고, 외환유동성이 회복될 때까지 단기적으로는 고금리정책이 환율안정화를 위하여 부분적으로 기여하였음을 시사한다고 할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 아시아 11개국 환율변화율의 자료를 이용하여, 집단 간의 동질적 속성에 의한 의미 있는 경제적 분류를 시도하기 위하여, 탐색적인 수리적 분류기법의 소개 및 적용, 그리고 이러한 접근법에 의하여 아시아 외환시장을 집단화하는 동질적인 공통요인의 존재가능성을 평가하고자 하는 목적으로 검증하였으며, 관찰된 검증결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 변화하는 시계열에 관계없이, 아시아 11개국의 외환시장에서는 일정하게 집단을 구성하는 계층적 구조관계를 확인할 수 있었다. 둘째, 검증결과에 의하여, 아시아 11개국의 외환시장을 동질적인 속성으로 집단화하는 공통요인의 존재가능성을 볼 수 있었다. 셋째, 의미 있는 경제적 분류에 의하여 형성된 동질적 속성의 시장구조관계는 공통적으로 영향을 미칠 수 있는 사건이 발생할 경우, 기존의 시장구조관계를 변화시킬 수 있다는 것을 관찰하였다. 넷째, 한국은 1990년 이후 국제화 정책을 국가적 차원에서 추진하였지만, 전반적인 검증결과에 의하면, 한국은 아시아 외환시장에서의 동질적인 속성에 의한 시장구조의 연결관계가 미약한 수준임을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문은 한국 외환위기의 발생메커니즘이 투기적 공격모형에 의하여 설명될 수 없음을 주장한다. 나아가 한국의 외환위기는 국제금용시장에서의 인출사태(banking panic)로 설명되어야 함을 주장한다. 이들 주장의 주된 근거는 97년 11월 자본유출을 주도한 요소가 외화채권인출이었다는 사실이다. 한편 본 논문은 국제금융 시장에서의 인출사태 발생에 필요한 조건을 (1) 잠재적 외환유동성 부족, (2) 인출사태 촉발요인의 등장, (3) 인출사태에 대한 대비장치 부재 등의 세 가지로 규정하고, 잠재적 외환유동성 부족의 조건은 96년 거시정책의 실패 및 94~96년간의 금융기관 해외지점의 급팽창에 의하여 마련되었음을 보인다. 또한 인출사태에 대한 대비장치의 부재가 실재(實在)하였음을 인출사태 진정과 관련된 IMF구제금융의 무력(無力)을 보임으로써 실증한다. 그러나 인출사태 촉발요인에 대해서는 최종결론을 유보하고 있다. 본 논문은 촉발요인에 대한 논란이 내부요인설, 외부충격설, 자기실현설 등 세 가지가 있음을 설명하고, 이중 외부충격으로 논의되고 있는 일본금융기관의 역할설(役割說)에 대한 부정적 증거를 제시한다. 그러나 제시된 증거가 모든 가능성을 배제할 수 있는 성격의 것이 아니므로, 촉발요인에 대한 구명은 향후 연구과제로 남겨져 있다.

The paper is basically designed to investigate any existence of co-movement among foreign exchange market, goods market, and monetary market implemented by relative PPP and interest rate parity. And, rational expectation and GARCH-M model are employed for an empirical application. The result revealed that since the co-movement among the markets is hardly found, an efficiency of foreign exchange market is independent from any shocks from the goods market and the monetary market. Whereas, the exchange rate is strongly effected by a real interest rate parity. To this end, the real interest rate should be a key policy instrument to stabilize the foreign exchange market.

The Korean Won-Dollar exchange markets showed radical price movements in the late 1990s and 2008. Therefore it provides good sources for studying volatility phenomena. Using the GARCH option models, I analysed how the prices of foreign exchange options react volatilities in the foreign exchange spot prices. For this I compared the explanatory power of three option models(Black and Scholes, Duan, Heston and Nandi), using the Won-Dollar OTC option markets data from 2006 to 2013. I estimated the parameters using MLE and calculated the mean square pricing errors. According to the my empirical studies, the pricing errors of Duan, Black and Scholes models are 0.1%. And the pricing errors of the Heston and Nandi model is greatest among the three models. So I would like to recommend using Duan or Black and Scholes model for hedging the foreign exchange risks. Finally, the historical average of spot volatilities is about 14%, so trading the options around 5% may lead to serious losses to sellers.

The FX (Foreign Exchange) is a form of exchange for the global decentralized trading of international currencies. The simple sense of Forex is simultaneous purchase and sale of the currency or the exchange of one country's currency for other countries'. We can find the consistent rules of trading by comparing the gradient boosting method and the decision trees methods. Methods such as time series analysis used for the prediction of financial markets have advantage of the long-term forecasting model. On the other hand, it is difficult to reflect the rapidly changing price fluctuations in the short term. Therefore, in this study, gradient boosting method and decision tree method are applied to analyze the short-term data in order to make the rules for the revenue structure of the FX market and evaluated the stability and the prediction of the model.

This study aims to identify changes in early work career of youth cohort entering the labor market pre and post-the economic crisis and compare career pathway types of different cohorts. Labor market experiences of youth cohort were constructed by sequencing the number of organizations, kinds of jobs, the scale of the business, and type of employment. In addition, a holistic sequence was created by including complementary factors. In this sense, the labor market experience in this study was conceptualized as a process involving continuous sequences and hierarchical and orderly changes which differs from a simple job mobility. Sequence analysis involving Optimal Matching method was conducted to examine whether such cohort-differences in labor market experiences were related to differences in distribution of career pathway types. The result showed that the post-economic crisis cohort had a relatively higher likelihood of falling into the non-employment type, unemployment type, non-corporate employment type, irregular employment type, and mobile employment type. These findings provide empirical evidence supporting the hypothesis that the employment precariousness of cohort has exacerbated after the economic crisis.

This paper investigates the empirical relationship between investment and uncertainty using the firm level data of Korean manufacturing sector. Empirical results show that uncertainty is negatively correlated with investment only for the post-crisis sample period. In particular, the negative effect of uncertainty on investment is more significant for low interest coverage ratio firms, high debt-asset ratio firms and small firms. The results are consistent with the claim that firms act in a more risk-averse manner after the financial crisis. This paper also finds a significant sensitivity of investment to cash flows only for the pre-crisis sample period, suggesting that financial constraint is not relatively important in explaining low investment after the financial crisis.
