This study intends to discuss the influence on behaviors of won/dollar exchange rate after a FTA between Korea and US come into effect. The change of behaviors of won/dollar exchange rate has been looked into concerning other countries who have signed a FTA pact with the US, and these examples were compared with that of Korea so as to find similarities and differences. As a result of analyses, behaviors of exchange rate between FTA-pact countries were showed differently. Volatility and risk premium somewhat decreased after the FTA took effect except for Chile. As for Chile, showing intense volatility, foreign exchange risk premium rather increased. It can be concluded that the relationship between volatility and risk premium of individual exchange rate is established and FTA can influence change of these behaviors of exchange rate depending on the situation of individual country. This study will contribute to offer informations to Korea trading companies related to IT that will have to prepare for the uncertainties of change of exchange rate due to FTA between Korea and US.

This paper investigates the influence of stock-level left-tail risk, which is defined using Value-at-Risk(VaR) estimates of past one-year daily stock returns, in the expected stock returns in the Korean stock market. Our results are summarized as follows: First, monthly-constructed zero-cost portfolios that buy (shortsell) the highest (lowest) left-tail risk decile in the previous month exhibit an average monthly return (called left-tail risk premium) of -2.29%. Second, Fama-MacBeth cross-sectional regressions suggest that left-tail risk in the previous month shows significant and negative explanatory power over return in this month, after controlling for various firm characteristics such as firm size, B/M, market beta, liquidity, maximum daily return, idiosyncratic volatility, and skewness. Third, the stocks with larger recent month loss have lower returns in the next month. Fourth, the magnitude of left-tail risk premium is negatively related with lagged market-level volatility. These results support the hypothesis from a perspective of behavioral finance that the overpricing of stocks with left-tail risk is attributed to the investors' underreaction to it.

This study aims to develop and analyze the performance of a selective option straddle strategy based on forecasted volatility to improve the weakness of typical straddle strategy solely based on negative volatility risk premium. The KOSPI 200 option volatility is forecasted by the SVM model combined with the asymmetric volatility spillover effect. The selective straddle strategy enters option position only when the volatility is forecasted downwardly or sideways. The SVM model is trained for 2008-2014 training period and applied for 2015-2018 testing period. The suggested model showed improved performance, that is, its profit becomes higher and risk becomes lower than the benchmark strategies, and consequently typical performance index, Sharpe Ratio, increases. The suggested model gives option traders guidelines as to when they enter option position.

This study examined on the volatility feedback hypothesis through the use of threshold GARCH-in-Mean (GJR-GARCH-M) model developed by Glosten, Jaganathan, and Runkle (1993) in the stock markets of 14 emerging countries during the period of January, 1996 to May, 2009. On this study, I found successful evidences which can support the volatility feedback hypothesis through the following three estimation procedures. First, I found relatively strong positive relationship between the expected market risk premiums and their conditional standard deviations from the GARCH-M model in the basis of daily return on each representative stock market index, which is appropriate to investors' risk-averse preferences. Second, I can also identify the significant asymmetric time-varying volatility originated from the investors' differentiated reactions toward the unexpected market shocks by applying the GJR-GARCH-M model and further find the lasting positive risk aversion coefficient estimators. Third, I derived the negative signs of the regression coefficient of unpredicted volatility on the stock market return by re-applying the GJR-GARCH-M model after I controlled the positive effect of predicted volatility through including the conditional standard deviations from the previous GARCH-M model estimation as an independent explanatory variable in the re-applied new GJR-GARCH-M model. With these consecutive results, the volatility feedback effect was successfully tested to be effective also in the various emerging stock markets, although the leverage hypothesis turned out to be insufficient to be applied to another source of explaining the negative relationship between the unexpected volatility and the ex-post stock market return in the emerging countries in general.

1981년 최초의 스왑거래가 있은 후부터, 스왑시장은 눈부신 성장을 보여 왔다. 현재까지 스왑시장이 왜 존재하는가 하는 물음에 대하여 여러 가지 이론들이 제시되어 왔다. 본 논문은 이러한 기존의 이론들을 살펴보고 이들과는 다른 각도에서 스왑의 존재를 설명한다. 스왑계약에 참여한 두 기업은 일련의 현금흐름을 교환하여 세후 순이익의 변동성을 감소시킴으로써 기업의 위험 프리미엄을 감소시키고 따라서 기업의 가치를 증가시킬 수 있다. 이러한 논리는 기업의 신용도 스프레드의 차이(quality spread differentials), 대리인 비용(agency costs), 또는 정보 비대칭(information asymmetry) 등의 마찰적 요인이 존재하지 않아도 성립한다.

This study analyzes the contribution to the national economy of the stable water supply through managing multi-purpose dam. For the analysis, we consider 17 major multi-purpose dams and build a CGE model with summer water and winter water being the production factors as the base year of 2007. We analyze the economic impact of meeting water demand due to the dam management and estimate the risk premium of reducing the uncertainty of water supply. The analysis results show a significant production decrease in the industries of agriculture, forestry and fisheries and tap water as well as the food and beverage industry using the former industries' output as intermediates in the production and show an production increase largely in steel industry and electronic and electrical industries. Being compared to the benchmark solution, GNP is analyzed as being reduced by 0.22~0.68%. Meanwhile, the risk premium is estimated to be about 4 billion to 24 billion won for the value 01 the measure of relative risk aversion in the range 01 0.5 to 3.0.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of macro-finance variables on the correlation between the housing and stock markets because understanding the nature of time-varying correlations between different assets has important implications on portfolio allocation and risk management. Thus, we adopted the AG-DCC GARCH model to obtain time-varying, conditional correlations. Our sample ranged from January 2004 to November 2017. Our empirical result showed that the coefficients on asymmetric correlation were significantly positive, implying that correlations between the housing and stock markets were significantly higher when changes in the housing price and stock returns were negative. This finding suggested that the housing market has less hedging potential during a stock market downturn, when such a hedging strategy might be necessary. Based on the regression analysis, we found that the term spread had a significantly negative effect on correlations, while the credit spread had a significantly positive effect. This result could be interpreted by the risk premium effect.

This study investigates whether and how a firm's cost of equity is influenced by the extent of a firms's name change. Even though corporate name change doesn't give any benefit to investors, it can be a signaling about firm's future valuation. And also, if that signaling has high credibility, it can be decrease information cost and the firm's cost of equity. on the contrary to this, if corporate name change is kind of break with the past and corporate image laundering, it is bad signaling to investors. So it can be increase information risk and the firm's cost of equity. Using yearly cross-sectional regressions of the cost of equity on our proxies for corporate name change, size, beta, market-to-book ratio and other innate risk factor over the 2005-2010, we find that the cost of capital is positively associated with corporate name change after controlling for all other factors. This result implies that corporate name change increase information risk of the business, and thus increase information asymmetries between managers and outside investors with respect to a firm's true future value. This increases information risk, and creates an adverse selection problem, on the part of outside investors. Rational investors therefore demand a premium for bearing this corporate name change-related information risk, which in turn leads us to observe a positive relation between the intensity of corporate name change and the cost of equity.

본 연구에서는 유로커런시와 외환시장의 초과수익률을 설명하는 여러 가지 모형을 검증하였다. 비록 Campbell-Clarida(1987)와 Lewis(1990,1991)는 이 시장에서 3개월물의 초과수익률에 대한 단일잠재변수모형을 기각할 수 없었지만 본 연구에서는 이 모형이 여러 포트폴리오에 대하여 기각되고 있음을 보여준다. 그러나 이 모형의 검증은 결합가정을 필요로 하기 때문에 모형의 기각원인을 찾는다는 것은 어려운 일이다. 기각의 가능성으로 세계 경제에 하나 이상의 위험요인이 존재할 수 있다는 것이 될 수도 있고 불안정한 상수가 원인일 수가 있다. 상수의 안정성검증에서 1979년 12월을 전후한 기간에 상수가 변하지 않는다는 귀무가설이 모든 포트폴리오에서 기각되었다. 따라서 양기간에 단일잠재변수모형과 두잠재변수모형을 검증하였다. 모든 포트폴리오에 대하여 1979년 12월 이전에는 단일변수모형이 기각되지 않았지만, 1979년 이후에는 체계적으로 기각되었다. 한편 두잠재변수모형은 양기간 모두에서 기각되지 않았다 따라서 위험요인에 변화를 주는 연방준비은행의 운영절차의 변화가 단일변수모형의 기각의 원인일 수 있다고 유추할 수 있다. 마지막으로 시간 가변적인 베타가 단일변수모형의 기각의 원인이 될 수 있는지를 검증하기 위하여 Harvey(1989,1991)에 의해서 개발된 모형을 적용해 보았지만 모형이 기각되었다. 따라서 유로커런시와 외화자산의 3개월물의 초과수익률에 두 잠재변수모형이 자료를 비교적 잘 설명한다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 잠재변수모형의 검증은 자산가격결정의 일반균형이론의 검증도 아니고 검증력도 강하지 않기 때문에, 위험프리미엄을 설명해주는 단순한 실증분석으로 보아야 한다.
