This paper develops a theory of the demand for insurance. The present model incorporates insurance demand time value of insurance premium, and demand for listless and risky assets simultaneously within the expected utility framework. For a special case of CARA, an insurance decision can be made separately from other portfolio decisions. However, in general, the interactions of both decisions cannot be ignored even when insurable and speculative risks are stochastically independent. In particular, the role of risky investment in hedging insurable risk is demonstrated and it is shown that this role cannot be duplicated by an insurance contract. When the investment decision is made simultaneously with the insurance decision, some of the classic theory on insurance should be modified. As an example, the authors characterize the sufficient conditions, under which the Bernoulli criteria (without and with premium loadings) hold or are violated in terms of the net gain of risky investment, the net cost of insurance, and the stochastic relationship between insurable and speculative risks. The authors interpret the results using the Rothschild and Stiglitz's (1970) notion of 'increase in riskiness'.

The empirical results are summarized as follows : First, In relation to effects of ownership structure on firm value, there is the non-linear relationship between major(and foreign) shareholder's holdings and firm value. So the results(the compromise hypothesis) by prior researches(Morck et al. 1988 and so forth) is supported. However Institutional shareholder's holdings do not show the significant results. Second, In relation to effects of outside directors on firm value, equally the results of prior researches(Vafeas 2000, Choi et al. 2004), the higher the ratio of outside directors in the board, the higher firm value. Also there is the non-linear relationship between outside directors ratio and firm value. Furthermore, the higher the possibility of outside directors election in the board, the higher the relationship between ownership structure and firm value. As the economic importance of KOSDAQ is more increase, the researches of KOSDAQ should be more realized.

Recently, venture capital investment has been shrinking globally due to high interest rates and economic slowdown. Korea is no exception. Due to the downturn in the M&A and public markets, increasing economic uncertainty, and the aftermath of corporate bankruptcies, venture capitalists are facing many difficulties in raising funds. In the changed economic environment, the investment decision factors of venture capitalists have also changed. However, studies on VCs' investment decisions have focused on the general economic environment. This study examines how VCs' investment decision-making factors change during economic recessions and booms. To this end, we interviewed active investors who have experienced both economic recessions and booms to compare how VCs' investment decision factors change: 1) personal characteristics of founders, 2) experience of founders, 3) product/service, 4) market, 5) financial situation, 6) contract terms and 7) venture capital co-investment. The results showed that founder's personal characteristics, experience, and product/service were more important during the economic recession. Market is slightly more important during economic booms. The importance of financial situation and investment conditions increased sharply during the recession compared to the boom. Finally, venture capital co-investment did not differ significantly between recessions and booms. By understanding the investment decision-making factors of venture capitalists in the recent difficult venture investment environment, this study aims to help startups raise funds and survive in a difficult market.

This study tests the price discovery from US Treasury bond markets to Korean bond markets using the daily returns of Korean bond data (CD, 3-year T-note, 5-year T-note, 5-year corporate note) and US treasury bond markets (3-month T-bill, 5-year T-note 10-year T-bond) from July 1, 1998 to December 31, 2003. For further research, we divide full data into two sub-samples on the basis of the start-up of bond valuation system in Korean bond market July 1, 2000, employing uni-variate AR(1)-GARCH(1,1)-M model. The main results are as follows. First the volatility spillover effects from US Treasury bond markets (3-month T-bill, 5-year T-note, 10-year T-bond) to Korean Treasury and Corporate bond markets (CD, 3-year T-note, 5-year T-note, 5-year corporate note) are significantly found at 1% confidence level. Second, the price discovery function from US bond markets to Korean bond markets in the sub-data of the pre-bond valuation system exists much stronger and more persistent than those of the post-bond valuation system. In particular, the role of 10-year T-bond compared with 3-month T-bill and 5-year T-note is outstanding. We imply these findings result from the international capital market integration which is accelerated by the broad opening of Korean capital market after 1997 Korean currency crisis and the development of telecommunication skill. In addition, these results are meaningful for bond investors who are in charge of capital asset pricing valuation, risk management, and international portfolio management.

The object or this paper is to analyze the rollover effect on KOSPI 200 index option prices. Especially we analyze the implied volatilities of the options that became the near maturity options as the old one expired. For this analysis, a panel data of KOSPI 200 Index Option Prices from year 1999 to year 2001 were used, and following results were obtained. First, after controlling for the underlying index returns, strike prices and other pricing factors, the call option prices tend to decrease while the put option prices tend to increase during the week of expiry. Second, if one concentrates on the daily price changes, call option prices tend to go up on Thursday (as the old options expire), and then experience a price decrease on the following day, while the reverse is true for the put options. These results imply that the option prices are affected by some of the market micro-structure effects such as whether the option is the near maturity option. We conjecture that the reason for this is related to the undervaluation of KOSPI 200 futures. The results from this paper have implications on the timing of option trades. If one wants to buy put options, and/or sell call options, he has better off by executing his intended trades before the old options expire. On the other hand, if one wants to buy call options, and/or sell put options, hi has better off by executing his intended trades after the expiry.

This study is aimed at analyzing the factors that affect the behaviors of employee's investment, such as a decision making process in a variety of views and proving the extent of how those factors influence on their investment. The basic assumption is that the preceding factors that can be determined by the personal investment propensity, a psychological factor asserted by Behavior Financial Theory and financial-economic and social environment. This study uses Hershey's Investment Behavior Model(2007) as the main analysis tool to explain the investment behavior of individuals and deals with personal investment inclination in the psychological perspective of overconfidence, self-control and the risk tolerance propensity and add the financial and economic factors in terms of financial literacy and economic distress. Also the new preceding social environmental factors like social interaction and the effect of reference group are added to make this research to be more precise. This study analyze the adjustment effect of professional invest-consulting service that affect the fluctuation influence between the individual variables(those factors) and subordination variable(the level of investment satisfaction). The study reveals that overconfidence and self-control in direct ways have a positive effect on the level of investment satisfaction in terms of investment behavior and economic distress has a negative effect on the level of investment satisfaction. The adjustment effect provided by financial experts in investment consulting service is affirmed as the critical factor that increase the influence between self-control and the level of investment satisfaction. To conclude, the research reveals that the psychological factors are the main criteria when the workers as employees have to make investment decisions. To make investors be reasonable, a systematic financial education system provided by experts is needed from the early adolescent stages and financial companies should develop the relevant services of consulting service department as a key financial sector and financial investment products and consulting program and marketing tool pertinent to investors ages, vocational traits and their inclinations.

With the recent, rapid changes in the socio-economic environment, organizations of today are now required to present a framework of realistic consumer behaviors based on psychology, economy, and finance, in order to understand their investing customers. Stock investors show differences in terms of their decisions or evaluations in the process of investing. This is due to what is called the 'framing effect.' The decision frames of the investors are defined differently, and, as a result, this affects the decisions made by the investors. Preceding studies on stock investment rarely touched the topic of the effect of message framing on market participants in their stock investment, especially regarding the differences in terms of their risk management behaviors based on the message framing in stock investment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the influence of stock investment message framing on market participants in their investment decision making and empirically validate whether this message framing effect has a moderating effect on the factors of investment satisfaction. For this, 494 participants with stock investment experiences were interviewed from May 1 to 26, 2018, and the results were used as the data for the empirical analysis. The analysis of the data was conducted using SPSS 22.0 statistical analysis software. The results of this study were as follows; First, of the stock investment behavioral factors, the stock comprehension, recommendation by others for a stock, and the degree of risks of a stock affected stock investment satisfaction in a positive manner. And, of the behavioral factors of stock investment, stock comprehension, stock brand, recommendation on the stocks from others, past performances, and risk levels of stocks affected the intent of continued stock investment in a positive manner. Second, message framing turned out to affect stock investment satisfaction in a positive manner, and it also had a significant moderating effect to the relationship between the stock investment behavior and stock investment satisfaction. Third, message framing was found to affect continued stock investment intent significantly, with a significant moderating effect in the relationship between stock investment behavioral factor and continued stock investment intent.

The primary objective of this paper investigates whether asymmetric volatility phenomenon is caused by differences of opinion among investors and analyses information availability has an effect on asymmetric volatility. The empirical test period covers recent 6 years from January 4, 2000 to December 29, 2005. Five portfolios have been formed according to information availability(volume and market value). For the purpose of this study, We use TGARCH model, TGARCH-M model and adjusted model which include trading volume as a proxy differences of opinion among investors. The results are summarized as follows ; First, adjusted model analysis shows that asymmetric volatility phenomenon is disappeared or asymmetric coefficient and ratio is decreased than basis model. Second, portfolio analysis shows that the higher volume and market value, the more prominent asymmetric volatility phenomenon. And adjusted model analysis shows the higher volume and market value, the more decrease asymmetric ratio. Over all, assertion that differences of opinion among investors has caused asymmetric volatility phenomenon is regarded as reasonable. And, We see that information availability have great effect on asymmetric volatility phenomenon. We think that theses results can also occur opinion adjustment of optimistic investors. Namely, asymmetric volatility phenomenon can occur difference of information authenticity.

금융정책(金融政策)과 자본시장(資本市場)의 증권가격(證券價格)과의 동태적(動態的) 관련성(關聯性)을 실증적으로 분석한 결과, 동태적(動態的) 구조면(構造面)에서 볼 때 특히 주식시장은 화폐에 대하여 시차를 갖는 반면, 장기채시장과 단기무위험시장에서는 시차를 갖지 않음이 발견되었다. 그리고 증권가격형성 메카니즘을 살펴본 결과, 화폐(貨幣)의 증가(增加)는 부(富)의 효과(效果)로 이어지고 그 결과 주가의 상승이 초래된다. 다른 한편으로 화폐의 증가가 대체효과를 반드시 유발시키지는 않으며, 그 이유로는 투자자들이 장기채를 선호함으로써 가격의 상승을 불러일으키는 반면 무위험자산의 경우 가격의 변동은 일어나지 않았기 때문이다. 끝으로, 가격효과(價格效果)의 존속은 비교적 단기로 끝남이 확인되었다. 증권시장(證券市場)의 장기적(長期的) 구조(構造)를 파악하기 위하여 공적분(共積分) 검정(檢定)을 실시하였다. 단위근(單位根) 검정(檢定)에 의하여 우리나라의 금융시계열은 단위근이 존재한다는 사실이 입증되었다. 따라서 금융시계열이 비정상적(非定常的) 확률과정(確率過程)을 따르고 있다. 공적분(共積分) 검정(檢定)에 의하여 화폐의 실질대수 유통속도와 실질주가, 장단기수익비율, 화폐차등수익률과 소득변화율 사이에는 차분후에 장기적 정상균형관계가 형성되고 있음이 발견되었다. 통화정책과 주가는 장기의 동태적 구조 측면에서 파악할 때 장기정상관계를 유지하고 있다. 그리고 주가는 시차(時差)가 0인 동시적(同時的) 통화정책(通貨政策)과 제1계 시차통화정책과 소득에 의하여 결정되고 있다. 다른 금융시계열은 주가결정에 영향을 미치고 있지 못한 실정이다. 주가의 상승은 부(富)의 효과(效果)와 대체효과(代替效果)를 유발하고 있다. 따라서 통화당국은 이점을 고려하여 화폐정책(貨幣政策)을 수립하여야 한다. 그리고 통화량은 주가의 가격형성에 양(陽)의 효과(效果)를 형성하고 있다. 따라서 화폐의 공급량의 증가는 명목주가(名目株價)의 상승을 유발하고 이에 따라 부(富)의 효과(效果)와 대체효과(代替效果)가 발생한다. 이와 같은 현상의 발견은 정부당국의 통화정책과 자본시장정책에 중요한 의의를 갖고 있다고 하겠다. 주가형성(株價形成)에 대한 통화정책의 효과는 당기 뿐만 아니라 차기에도 이어지고 화폐량과 소득이 주가의 결정에 영향을 미치고 있으며 다른 금융변수(金融變數)들은 영향을 미치지 않고 있다. 그러나 실질화폐잔고와 실질주가 장단기수익비율 화폐차등수익률과 소득변화률과는 장기적(長期的) 정상적(定常的) 균형관계(均衡關係)를 형성하고 있다. 따라서 장기적 관점에서 증권시장은 경제성장을 위한 통화정책과 각 분야의 균형적 성장을 유발할 수 있는 재정정책(財政政策)이 요청되고 있다. 위의 논의에서 유추할 수 있는 것은 화폐의 영향을 완화시키기 위하여 option시장의 개발과 농산물, 광물, 기타 실물 및 금융에 대한 선물시장의 개설이 요청된다. 이와 같은 시장을 통하여 통화 정책이 증권시장에 미치는 과도한 효과를 축소시켜 합리적이고 건전한 증권시장(證券市場)의 발전(發展)과 금융시장(金融市場)의 원활한 발전이 이룩될 수 있을 것이다. 자본시장이론(資本市場理論)에서는 화폐는 무시하고 실물적인 관점에서 증권가격의 결정을 연구하거나 위험분석에 주안점이 주어져 왔었다. 본 연구를 통하여 통화정책의 결과가 자본시장에 직접적으로 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인하였다. 통화금융정책과 주가의 유기적 관계를 확인한 본 논문의 결과를 정책당국이 참고하여 통화금융정책(通貨金融政策) 효율성(效率性)을 극대화(極大化)할 수 있을 것으로 본다.

증권거래소(證券去來所)는 시황에 따라 위탁증거금율(委託證據金率)을 탄력적으로 변경 운용함으로써 시장의 수급을 조절하는 등의 시장관리수단의 하나로 이용하여 공정한 시세형성을 기하고자 설립시부터 증권회사로 하여금 매매의 위탁시 위탁증거금을 징수하도록 규정하고 증거금율을 상황에 따라 신축적으로 운용하여 1962년 이후에만도 무려 32회이상 변경하였다. 따라서 문제의 핵심은 위탁증거금징수가 주식시장에서의 과잉투기행위를 근절시키고 주가변동율(株價變動率)(stock volatility)을 감소시켜 공정거래질서(公正去來秩序)를 확보하는데 기여하고 있는지의 여부가 된다. 이 점은 특히 미국(美國)에서 1987년 10월 소위 '검은 월요일(Black Monday)'당시 갑작스러운 주가폭락과 시장체계의 붕괴사태이후 금융시장의 발전을 모색하는 정책당국자들과 학자들사이에 새로운 주목을 받기 시작하였다. Salinger(1989)와 Schwert(1989)는 위탁증거금율(委託證據金率)의 변경과 주가변동율(株價變動率)의 감소와는 아무런 인과관계가 없다고 결론을 내리고 있다. 특히 Schwert는 거래일시중단시책마저도 주가변동율에 별 효과가 없다고 주장하면서 금융공황과 관련된 거래일시중단은 주가변동을 큰 폭으로 증가시켜왔으나 금융공황을 동반하지 않은 기래일시중단은 높은 주가변동율과 무관함을 밝히고 있다. Hardouvelis(1991)는 그러나 위탁증거금율을 상승시키면 주가변동율이 낮아지며, 결과적으로 주가가 본원적가치(本源的價値)로부터 일탈하는 현상도 줄어든다는 사실을 통계적으로 입증하고, 위탁증거금의 징수가 시장을 교란하는 악성투기행위를 억제시키는데 매우 효과적인 정책수단이라고 주장하고 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라 주식시장에서 과잉투기현상을 억제하여 시장의 안정을 확보하는 기능으로서의 위탁증거금제도에 대해 그 경제적 효과여부를 규명하는 실증분석을 행하였다. 이 논문에서는 Schwert(1989)와 Hardouvelis(1991)의 방법을 원용하여 두가지 서로 다른 방법으로 주가변동율을 측정하여 비교하였다. 통계적 기법은 기본적으로 다변량(多變量) 회귀분석법(回歸分析法)을 택하였다. 분석의 결과로 매우 흥미로운 실증상(實證上)의 규칙성(規則性)을 발견하였다. 즉 현금시장(cash market)의 위탁증거금율이 높아지면 실제주가변동율(實際株價變動率)과 초과주가변동율(超過株價變動率)이 감소되고, 또한 유행(流行)의 경우와 마찬가지로 본원적 가치로부터의 괴리가 작아진다. 이 결과에 따르면 위탁증거금의 징수는 그 제도의 취지에 부합되고 있다. 다만 제도운용상의 이유이거나 혹은 우리나라 주식시장의 투자자들이 비합리적인 투자형태를 보임에 따라 그 정책적 효과는 때로 역기능적인 결과로 초래하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이 연구결과를 통하여 최소한 주식시장(株式市場)에서 위탁증거금제도는 그 제도적 의의가 여전히 있다는 사실이 확인되었다. 또한 우리나라 주식시장에서 통상 과열투기 행위가 빈번히 일어나 주식시장을 교란시킴으로써 건전한 투자풍토조성에 저해된다는 저간의 우려가 매우 커왔으나 표본 기간동안에 대하여 실증분석을 한 결과 주식시장 전체적으로 볼 때 주가변동율(株價變動率), 특히 초과주가변동율(超過株價變動率)에 미치는 영향이 그다지 심각한 정도는 아니었으며 오히려 우리나라의 주식시장은 미국시장에 비해 주가가 비교적 안정적인 수준을 유지해 왔다고 볼 수 있다.
