The purpose of this paper is to test the market timing hypothesis and impact of macro economic variables on capital structure choice as well as the traditional static trade-off and pecking order theories of capital structure in a integrated framework. Through a two stage test of target capital structure and capital structure choice, none of theories was consistently supported, but most of them were partly supported. In the first stage analysis of target ratio, coefficients of firm-specific variables generally supported the predictions of pecking order theory rather than those of the static trade-off theory. However, the result of the second stage test on capital structure choice supported the hypothesis of the static trade-off theory, which claims that firms usually set and pursue the target leverage ratio. Further, the result of the seconde stage shows that a simple pecking oder theory does not hold because firms with deficit of internal fund tend to issue bonds rather than stocks to raise outside fund. Also, the result indicates that the market timing hypothesis holds because firms with over-valued stocks tend to issue stocks rather than bonds. However, contrary to Korajczyk and Levy(2003), the impact of macro economic variables such as term or credit spreads on capital structure choice was negligible, and the impact of macro economic and market timing hypothesis variables were not greater in financially unconstrained firms as Korajczyk and Levy(2003) suggested.

We study externality costs of capital investment under limited commitment. We solve for the constrained efficient allocation with a limited commitment environment and find positive externality costs of capital investment provided that full-risk-sharing is not feasible. In a decentralized version of limited commitment environment, a one unit increase of capital investment by an agent increases all individuals' autarky values in the economy and generates externality costs in the economy. This externality cost provides a rationale for positive capital taxation even in the absence of government expenditure. In order to internalize this costs, the government use a positive rate of linear capital tax in the decentralized economy.

철강산업에 있어서 공해저감시설의 설치와 증 개축시 발생하는 제반 문제점과 함께 불완전한 시장과 제약된 경영여건하에서 각 기업들은 주어진 요소의 시장가격으로 생산비용 최소화의 실현과 더불어 합리적이며 효율적인 생산활동을 하고 있다고는 할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 한국 철강산업을 대상으로 일반비용 함수 방식에 의한 계수검정을 실시하여 공해저감시설 또는 자본을 포함한 각 생산요소의 상대가격 효율성 달성 여부를 알아본다. 그리고 비효율성으로 인한 생산비용의 상승효과를 측정하고 공해저감자본의 실제 투입량과 적정수준과의 차이를 측정하여 공해저감자본에 대한 적정 투입률을 분석한다. 측정 결과, 상대가격의 비효율성으로 인하여 1982년부터 1994년까지의 기간 동안 철강산업의 생산비용이 연평균 약 13.6% 증가되었으며 공해저감자본은 적정수준에 비해 연평균 48.4% 적게 투입된 것으로 나타났다.

This paper deals with the capital budgeting problem of a firm where investments are risky and interrelated. The established models might be classified into two categories; One is the chance-constrained programming model and the other is the expected utility maximization model. The former has a rather limited objective function and does not consider the risk in direct manner. The latter, on the other hand, might lead to a wrong decision because it uses an approximate value of expected utility. This paper attempts to extend the applicability of the chance-constrained programming model by modifying its objective function into a more general form. The capital budgeting problem is formulated as a nonlinear 0-1 integer programming problem first, and is formulated into a linear 0-1 integer programming problem for finding a lower-bound solution of the original problem. The optimal solution of the original problem is then obtained by branch & bound algorithm.

Long-term national railway building comprehensive review of the proposal had 100 in railway history, railway rail network plan. Planning routes for establishing a plan, but, considering the rail network, the plan was that could with the very important meaning in the What more economical route considering the costs and benefits of building a rail network under budget constraints, went through the process of background lines of business unit interval expenses to adopt a business unit interval. Especially in building the railway network, as well as the road plan was to reflect in order to build for the future railway facilities was secured examine the possibility of possible budget commitment. Budget of securing the transportation tax, gasoline tax, and other transportation facilities in order to secure and commit the current funding approach and Review Bodu possible budget scenarios based on it written. Was also enforce rail system built in reviewing the demand more than anything that can take advantage of the railway distance by railway and the merits of the competition means to compete in the form of the assumed situation. The rail network deployment plan, considering this was discussed, based on the results of the plan to establish the first annual or period of the plan change was based on the budget that was unknown.

물부족현상을 해결하기 위해서는 장기적인 공급기반시설의 확충과 함께 여러 형태의 경제적 유인제도의 활용을 통한 수요관리정책을 병행함으로써 물의 절약효과를 최대화시키는 것이 바람직하다. 본 연구에서는 1993년 한국 제조업을 대상으로 시장구조적, 환경적 제약여건하에서 공업용수의 비효율적인 사용실태를 알아보고 적정수준의 용수수요량을 유도하기 위하여 용수가격의 인상을 추진할 경우, 이에 필요한 가격인상율을 제시한다. 방법론적으로는 적정수준의 자본투입을 가정한 제약일반비용함수를 추정한다. 추정결과, 공업용수는 적정수준에 비해 무려 평균 50배 이상 과다하게 사용되고 있으며 1993년 현재의 용수가격을 106.8% 인상시켜야 적정수준으로 유도할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study empirically analyzes whether bank capital channel and risk-taking channel for monetary policy work for domestic banks in South Korea by analyzing the impact of the expansionary monetary policy on the rate spread between deposit and loan, capital ratio, and loan amount. For the empirical analysis, the Uhlig (2005)'s sign-restricted SVAR(Structural Vector Auto-Regression) model is used. The empirical results are as follows: the bank's interest rate margin increases, the capital ratio improves, risk-weighted asset ratio increases, and the amount of loans increases in response to expansionary monetary shock. This empirical results confirm that bank capital channel and risk-taking channel work in domestic banks, similar to the previous research results. The implications of this study are as follows. Although the expansionary monetary policy has the effect of improving the bank's financial soundness and profitability in the short term as bank capital channel works, it could negatively affect the soundness of banks by encouraging banks to pursue risk in the long run as risk-taking channel works. It is necessary to note that the capital ratio according to the BIS minimum capital requirement of individual banks may cause an illusion in supervising the soundness of the bank. So, the bank's aggressive lending expansion may lead to an inherent weakness in the event of a crisis. Since the financial authority may have an illusion about the bank's financial soundness if the low interest rate persists, the authority needs to be actively interested in stress tests and concentration risk management in the pillar 2 of the BIS capital accord. In addition, since system risk may increase, it is necessary to conduct regular stress tests or preemptive monitoring of assets concentration risk.

본(本) 연구(硏究)는 Tobin의 q-이론(理論)에 입각하여 투자(投資)를 결정하고 동태적(動態的) 예산제약하(豫算制約下)에서의 외채지불능력(外債支拂能力)만을 감안한 적정소비결정(滴定消費決定)의 문제점을 논의하는 동시에 우리나라에 있어서 자본(資本)의 시장가치(市場價値), 자본(資本)의 한계생산력(限界生産力) 및 이자율간(利資率間)의 관계를 살펴보고자 함에 목적(目的)이 있다. Balassa and Williamson(1987)은 우리나라의 자본수익률(資本收益率)이 해외차입금리(海外借入金利)보다 높으므로 투자(投資)를 확대시키는 한편, 지금과 같이 호전(好轉)된 해외여건(海外與件)이 상당기간 지속(持續)될 것이며 우리나라의 신인도(信認度)가 높다는 점을 들어 소비(消費)를 확대하고 장기적으로 10억(億)~20억(億)달러의 경상수지적자(經常收支赤子)를 유지하는 것이 바람직하다고 주장하였다. 본고(本稿)는 그들의 주장(主張)을 수용(受容)하는 소비(消費)와 투자(投資)의 동태적(動態的) 최적배분(最適配分)에 관한 단순모형(單純模型)을 구축하여 그들의 주장(主張)을 계량적(計量的)으로 보다 엄밀하게 점검하는 한편, 1990년대 초에 순채권국(純債權國)이 되려는 6차계획(次計劃)의 기본방향(基本方向)이 우리나라의 과거경험(過去經驗) 및 대내외여건전망(對內外與件展望)에 비추어 타당함을 보이려고 하였다.

본 논문에서는 우리나라의 부동산시장(不動産市場)의 불완전성(不完全性)이 금융시장보다도 강한 현실을 반영하여 그것이 자본자산가격결정모형(資本資産價格決定模型) (the capital asset pricing model)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 부동산시장의 불완전성으로서는 특히 부동산의 경우 기본적인 최저거래단위가 일반 금융자산보다도 높아 거래에 제약이 따른다는 점, 또한 최근 정부의 부동산 가격의 안정화 시책에 따라 개인의 부동산 보유한도가 엄격하게 제한되고 있으며 부동산 투자 이득에 대한 과세도 대폭 강화되고 있다는 점 등이 고려되었다. 이와같은 가정하에서 본고에서는 전통적인 자본자산가격모형을 수정 검토한 뒤, 그 모형의 틀속에서 부동산보유제한(不動産保有制限) 및 투자이득(投資利得)의 과세강화(課稅强化)같은 부동산가격 안정화 시책의 효과를 살펴보고, 그 외 자산담보대출의 담보비율 조정이 자산의 가격형성에 미치게되는 효과와 부동산 투자신탁제도의 도입효과, 부동산 기대수익률과 주식의 기대수익률의 관계 등을 검토하였다. 이러한 분석의 결과, 특히 본고에서는 현재 정부가 추진중인 불동산보유제한(不動産保有制限) 및 투자이득(投資利得)의 과세강화(課稅强化)와 같은 정책들이 경우에 따라서 부동산 가격을 안정화시키기 보다는 오히려 부동산 가격의 상승을 유발할 수도 있는 것으로 나타나 정책의 시행시 상당히 신중을 기하지 않으면 안되는 것으로 분석되었다.

This paper empirically examines how capital structure inertia varies across industries and there is different in industries, and whether this fact is explained by product market competition using non-financial firms listed in KOSP market over periods of 1981 to 2015. In empirical test, I find that firms with more competition environment tend to have inertia behavior in making decision of capital structure. This implies that it is explained by debt discipline effect and it is substitution for product market competitions. Also I find that manager tends to take action actively making decision of capital structure when product market competition is low. Also I show that they use debt to constraint the free cash flow. As a result, I conclude that Korean non-financial firms do not have more strong inertia behavior in capital structure rather than U.S. firms. Second, using OLS estimation, inertia effect disappears while there is strong inertia effect in relationship between inertia and product market competition. This result suggests that transaction cost is not key factor in explaining inertia behavior of capital structure.
