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.

본 논문은 도로투자 사업성분석시 사업주체의 현금흐름을 결정하는 항목들을 고정값(Deterministic Value)이 아닌 확률적으로 추정함으로써, 사업의 재무적 변동으로 인한 위험도를 민간사업자의 견지에서 사업성분석과정에 내재화하는 모형을 개발하는 것이다. 즉, 확률적 비용추정기법으로 국소적으로 활용되던 위험도분석을 재무모형에 내재화함으로써 사업의 재무적 변동을 보다 포괄적으로 분석할 수 있는 틀을 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션기법을 이용한 위험도분석(Risk Analysis)을 적용하여 사업성 평가지표와 비용의 확률밀도함수(Probability Density Function : PDF), 누적확률분포함수(Cumulative Distribution Function : CDF)를 산출하고, 그 결과로 해당 사업의 위험도를 고려하여 사업성을 평가한다. 이 모형은 사업의 모든 변동요인을 복합적으로 추정하여 사업기간 내 사업주체의 현금흐름을 분석할 수 있다. 따라서 사업주체는 효용에 따라 합리적인 위험도 관리 목표값(Target Value)을 선정하고, 사업의 위험도를 고려하여 건설비, 예비비를 결정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 정립된 모형을 서울외곽순환고속도로(일산-퇴계원 구간)와 대전당진고속도로를 대상으로 사례분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 대전당진고속도로의 경우 사업성이 없으며, 서울외곽순환고속도로의 경우, 일부 위험도 발생변수를 합리적으로 관리한다면, 사업성이 충분한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 사례분석은 사업의 위험도를 반영한 사업성분석 방법으로 우리나라 민자유치대상고속도로의 사업성분석의 하나의 지침이 될 것이다.

이 연구는 우리나라 상장 제조기업의 자본조달행태를 외환위기를 기준으로 구분하여 분석함으로써 자본조달순위이론의 타당성 여부를 탐색하였다. 최적자본구조의 존재여부와 결정요인을 탐색하는 정태적 자본구조이론과 달리 우선순위에 따라 자본조달을 한다고 제시된 것이 동태적 성격의 자본조달순위이론이다. 1981년부터 2002년까지 우리나라 상장 제조업의 패널자료를 이용하여 분석한 결과 현금흐름의 회귀계수가 일관성 있게 음(-)의 부호를 나타냈는데 이것은 우리나라 기업들이 대체로 자본조달순위이론과 같은 행태로 자본을 조달하는 것으로 해석된다. 총자산 수익률변수도 자본조달순위이론을 지지하는 결과를 보여주었으며 외환위기이전과 이후의 차이는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Fama-French(1992)가 미국 주식시장에서 기대수익률 결정요인으로서의 베타의 유용성에 의문을 제기한 이래, 위험의 척도로서 베타가 강력한 도전을 받고 있다. 그러나, Grundy-Malkiel(1996)은 미국 주식시장의 하락장세에서는 베타가 위험의 적절한 척도라는 실증적 증거를 발견하였다. 본 논문에서는 Grundy-Malkiel의 방법론을 이용하여 한국 주식시장의 하락장세에서도 베타가 위험의 적절한 척도인지를 분석하였다. 1980년 1월부터 1996년 12월까지의 주식수익률 자료를 이용하여 실증분석한 결과 베타가 하락장세에서는 위험의 적절한 척도임을 발견하였다.

This paper explored how soft information and hard information were used when SBC(Small Business Corporation, Korea) reviewed government loan applications. The data set is made up of financial and non-financial data of small-business firms since 2004. A non-financial data set is considered as soft information. Relative importance of three kinds information such as credit information, soft information, financial information is compared with each other by using the logit model. As a result, credit information is most critical to the loan approval, and then soft information follows, lastly financial information has the smallest effect on the loan approval. This is because the credit information is made up of the non-linear combination of soft information and financial information. When the relative importance of soft information and financial information is considered, soft information is relatively more critical to the loan approval then financial information. This is because financial ratios provided by small-business firms are not reliable enough.

Vietnam is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. Many Korean companies have recently invested their factories to Vietnam from China. This Study measures the entry determinants and outcomes of Vietnam foreign direct investment of the Korea company. This study developed a research model to determinant factor in the Vietnam market entry and collected 98 survey responses from the Korean company to Vietnam investment. In the article analysis, Multiple regression results show that Vietnam investment outcome review are positively affected by "Scale of Investment company", "International Experience of Investment company", "Marketing Skill of Investment company" and "Vietnam's Market Scale", "Vietnam's Market Environment" factors in all a hypothesis. However, the result of this analysis showed that the "Financial management of investment company", and "Organization management of investment company" as independence is not statistically significant. This article suggests that the investment outcome of Vietnam foreign direct investment should take earned of the Korea company in Vietnam market.

This study examined one of the contemporary issues on debate to identify any significant financial determinants on the cash holdings of the cheabol firms in the Korean domestic capital markets. Several important findings on the financial characteristics affecting the cash holdings were evidenced by utilizing various methodologies for statistical estimations. Financial or managerial implications with discussion were provided for the pronounced factors such as CASHFLOW, MVBV, REINVEST, and AGENCY. Assuming that the chaebol firms were overall subject to the financial constrains, they may increase or stockpile cash reserves as internal capital for future investment opportunities or repayment of existing debt, rather than external financing burdened by a high cost of capital. Given the on-going controversy on the optimal level of corporate cash holdings coupled with any foreseeable capital transfer among the associated nations through the investment vehicles such the FTAs (Free Trade Agreements) or TPP (Trans-Pacific Pacts), any empirical findings of the study may shed new light on identifying financial determinants which may significantly affect the level of cash holdings for the business conglomerates, the 'chaebol' firms, in the Korean capital markets.

This study attempted to identify the relationship between the investment determinants of accelerators and investment performance through empirical analysis. Through literature review, four dimensions and 12 measurement items were extracted for investment determinants, which are independent variables, and investment performance was adjusted to the cumulative amount of subsequent investment based on previous studies. Performance data from 594 companies selected by TIPS from 2017 to 2019, which are relatively reliable and easy to secure data, were collected, and the subsequent investment cumulative attraction amount, which is a dependent variable, was hypothesized through multiple regression analysis three years after the investment. As a result of the study, 'industrial experience years' in the characteristics of founders, 'market size', 'market growth', 'competitive strength', and 'number of patents' in the characteristics of products and services had a significant positive (+) effect. The impact of independent variables on dependent variables was most influenced by the competitive strength of market characteristics, followed by the number of years of industrial experience, the number of patents, the size of the market, and market growth. This was different from the results of previous studies conducted mainly on qualitative research methods, and in most previous studies, the characteristics of founders were the most important, but the empirical analysis results were market characteristics. As a sub-factor, the intensity of competition, which was the subordinate to the importance of previous studies, had the greatest influence in empirical analysis. The academic significance of this study is that it presented a specific methodology to collect and build 594 empirical samples in the absence of empirical research on accelerator investment determinants, and created an opportunity to expand the theoretical discussion of investment determinants through causal research. In practice, the information asymmetry and uncertainty of startups that accelerators have can help them make effective investment decisions by establishing a systematic model of experience-dependent investment determinants.

본 논문에서는 기업의 성장성변수(기업지분의 시장가치 대 장부가치 비율, MB)가 이익반응 계수에 체계적인 영향은 미치는가를 1991년부터 1994년까지 한국증권시장을 대상으로 재무분석가의 예측치에 의한 사건시점방법을 사용하여 실증적으로 분석하였다. 여러 사건시점을 분석한 결과 기업의 성장성과 이익반응계수가 유의적인 정의 관계가 있다는 것을 발견하였다. 이는 우리나라 증권시장에서 성장성이 높은 기업에서의 이익변화가 성장성이 낮은 기업에 비하여 주식수익률에 더 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 의미한다, 이에 추가로 Skinner와 Sloan(1998)에서 발견된 고성장기업에서 부의 비기대이익에 대한 큰 폭의 주식수익률 하락이 우리나라 시장에서도 나타나는가를 분석하였다. 이들의 결과와는 달리 우리나라 증권시장에서는 이러한 현상이 발견되지 않았으며, 이는 고성장기업에 대하여서도 이익정보가 주식시장에 적절하게 반영된 다는 것을 나타낸다. 본 논문은 우리나라 증권시장에서 기업이익과 수익률간의 사건시점방법을 통한 연구에 있어서 기업의 성장성변수(기업의 시장가치대 장부가치의 비율)가 통제되어야 하는 변수라는 것을 나타낸다.
