본 논문은 간단한 비대칭정보모형을 사용하여 자본구조의 해법을 모색하고자 한다. 본 모형의 분석에 따르면, 기대현금흐름의 크기에 대해서만 비대칭정보가 존재할 경우 부채에 의한 자금조달이 최적이며, 주식자금조달은 배제된다. 기대현금흐름의 위험에 대해서만 비대칭정보가 존재할 매는 특정한 증권의 지배현상은 나타나지 않는다. 두 가지 형태의 비대칭정보가 모두 존재하는 일반모형에서는 극단적인 주식자금조달 정책은 기각되지만 100% 부채자금조달과 50% 부채, 50% 주식 자금조달 사이의 어떤 자금조달정책도 실행가능하다. 경영자는 극단적인 외부자금조달정책보다는 안정적인 내 외부자금조달배합을 유지하려 하게 된다. 자금조달결정은 투자결정과는 분리되어 있어 비낭비적이지만, 신 구청구권자 사이에 부(富)의 이전을 초래할 수 있다. 본 모형은 왜 주식발행을 공표하면 주가가 떨어지고 채권발행은 주가에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않는지를 해명한다. 또한 추가로 검증가능한 명제들이 제시된다.

The central factor in the pecking order theory of financial structure is the asymmetric distribution of information between managers and less-informed outside investors. Myers and Majluf (1984) show that this asymmetry leads managers to prefer internal funds to external funds. Funds are raised through equity issues only after the capacity to issue debt has been exhausted. In contrast, according to static tradeoff theory, an optimum financial structure exists by the tradeoff between tax saving by debt and bankruptcy costs. This study examines the recent changes of Korean firms' financial structure and financing behavior and the determinants of financial structure. The sample of firms comes from the period of $1996{\sim}2004$, and the number of firms is 32,003. The major findings are as follows. First, in contrast with previous studies using US firms as sample, Korean firms have been using debt financing as their major financing instrument. Especially, the firms in the fund deficit situation relies much more on $long{\sim}term$ and $short{\sim}term$ debts rather than on equity issues. Second, as is the case with previous studies using US firms sample indicates, the financing deficit variable can not explain perfectly the net debt issue. However, compared with net equity issue variable, net debt issue variable is more closely related to the financing deficit variable. Third, when financing deficit variable is added to the current list of explanatory variables of financial structure determinants model, it has a significant and positive explanatory power. In addition, the coefficients of determinants are much improved. Thus, it is concluded that although pecking order theory is not perfect, it appears to be more useful compared to static tradeoff theory, at least in explaining the recent financing behavior of Korean manufacturing firms.

It is generally considered from the point of view of macroeconomics that inflation has an effect favorable to the owners of tangible assets in the allocation of assets and lightens the burden of debtors in the redemption of their liabilities. But, this effect of inflation has not yet been fully verified in the case of individual firms. Accordingly, in this article I will examine the effect of inflation on the financial and investment decisions of individual companies.

This study examines the influence of scale economy, technology, financing capability and market competition on economic performance by value chain in Korean solar energy companies, using the multiple logistic regression analysis. The current profit ratio is analyzed to have been positively affected by financing capability, while negatively by market competition. The scale economy and technology are analyzed to have no statistical significance on the economic performance. The current profit ratio for companies creating higher value in the sourcing process is negatively affected by technology while positively by financial capability. The one in the manufacturing process is affected positively by technology and financing capability, and the one in the marketing process is affected positively by financing capability while negatively by market competition. The implications of this study are as follows: Korean solar energy industry is recommended i) to establish the specific innovation system for technology development, ii) to set up advanced financial system, iii) to carry out the fractal system, the manufacturing system through the network of the firms owning core competence per value chain.

Tax exhaustion effect hypothesis says that firms with low expected marginal tax rates on their interest deductions employ less debt in their capital structure. We use logit analysis to study how financing decision is related to tax after controlling non tax effects. We treat non debt tax shields as proxy of marginal corporate tax rates which affect the probability of using the deductibility of debt tax shields and empirically test the tax effect on financing decision in Korea. In conclusion, we provide evidence that debt financing is positively related to tax in the former sub-period. This results partially support for tax exhaustion effect hypothesis and low tax rate firms have lower debt levels than high tax rate firms.

본 연구는 기업의 자본조달행태를 가장 잘 설명할 수 있는 이론을 자본조달순서 이론으로 대별하고 한국기업의 자본조달행동에 대한 설명력을 실증분석하였다. 실증분석결과는 첫째, 투자안에 소요되는 충분한 여유자금의 유무는 외부자본조달결정에 정(+)의 영향을 미치고 있으며, 보통주보다 회사채를 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 현금과잉이 외부금융가능성에 음(-)의 영향을 미친다고 단정지을 수는 없다. 둘째, 기업의 위험이 증가할수록 부채사용의 증가를 예측하고 있으며, 정보비대칭에 관한 대용변수가 POT에서 주장하는 자본조달 신호로 작용하고 있지 않다. 이러한 결과는 투자안에 소요되는 내부자본이 부족하여 외부자본을 조달할 경우에 기업의 능력보다도 자본시장의 환경과 시장여건이 더욱 중요하다는 것을 시사하고 있다.

In a corporate financing, the decision of optimal capital structure is becoming more critical issues and still remaining a problem to be solved though many of researcher have studied. Particularly, shipping companies need a huge amount of capital finance for new vessel's capacity and then they are considering what is the best capital structure. In this point of view, this study tries to investigate the determinants of debit maturity structure focused on the Korean shipping industry. As results of panel regression analysis, firm size, liquidity, chance of growth, good cash flow are major determinants of debit expiration structure in the Korean shipping companies.

기업의 올바른 경영과 꾸준한 성장을 위해선 원활한 자금흐름이 필요하다. 더욱이 장기간의 경기 침체와 급변하는 금융환경의 상황에서 기업은 자금에 대한 유동성 확보 및 향후 예측력이 필요하고 체계적으로 자금흐름을 관리하여야 한다. 즉 정확한 자금흐름을 예측하여 합리적 자금조달과 운용을 실시하며 그 결과에 대한 실적 및 분석을 통해 의사결정 정보를 적시에 제공함으로써 기업 경쟁력을 강화 시키기 위한 시스템이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 Cash flow 중점관리라는 효율적인 자금관리 측면의 새로운 개념의 업무 개선 방향을 정립하고 자금수지관리를 체계화 시킬 수 있는 표준 자금수지 시스템 모델을 제시하여 향후 업무 자동화 및 그룹 업무 표준화를 이루고자 한다.

This study performed empirical analyses of the static trade-off theory and the pecking order theory which explain financing behavior of firms. The results of regression analyses using the data of 762 listed non-financing firms on the KOSDAQ market from 2000 to 2010 have shown mixed evidences supporting either the trade-off theory or the pecking order theory. Specifically, as the effective tax rate and the firm size increases, debt ratio increases, which is consistent with the trade-off theory. However as the growth opportunity and the profitability increases, debt ratio decreases, which is consistent with the pecking order theory.

In China, the commercial bank credit financing is the most important external financing channel for SMEs. However, the lack of credit guarantee significantly deters commercial banks to finance SMEs. which may generate a negative impact on the trade activities of SME in China. In this paper we examine the risk of credit guarantee for SMEs financing and the factors affecting this risk through a VAR (Value-at-Risk) model. Our analysis shows that the scale of enterprises' impact on the VAR (risk of financing guarantee) is not much relevant. We also find that the certainty of financing for SMEs, such as the fixed asset ratio, has a significant and negative effect on the VAR of Chinese credit guarantee institutions. The product uniqueness is positively correlated with the VAR, and operation risk is also positively related to the credit risk of Chinese credit guarantee institutions.
