This study addresses an empirical issue which has been received little attention in the contemporary finance literature: To identify any financial determinants of the profitability indices for the firms belonging to the Korean chaebol. Three hypotheses of concern were postulated and tested for the sample firms covering the periods of the pre-and post-financial global crises. Regarding the results on the 1st hypothesis test of characterizing any financial profiles for the firms (belonging to the chaebols) by estimating a legitimate panel data model: the present study found the statistically significant relationships of the explanatory variables (BVLEVl, MVLEVl, MV/BV, RISK, FCFF and FOS) with the book-value based profitability ratio: while the market-valued profitability index was explained only by BVLEV2. Regarding the 2nd hypothesis test for the profitability of the sample firms at the industry level: the chaebol firms in the chemical and the food industries overall positioned themselves into the top ranks in order, which was tested by the ANCOVA and the Tukey multiple comparison procedure. Finally: on the 3rd hypothesis test for the 'adjusted' Dupont system, only two such as the 'operating margin' and the 'asset turnover' showed their significant effects between the chaebol firms and their counterparts in both the (parametric) independent samples t-test and the (nonparametric) Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney statistics.

The power of media has always been problematic in the countries of full press freedom. Originally, the media used to be an effective vehicle for communication within human beings. However, it exerts an overwhelming power toward human society. Through applying the well-known four dog models in terms of media function, this study attempts to examine how the press media in South Korea transformed themselves into another powerful independent organization or institution after regime shift in 1987. The whole editorials of four sampled newspapers were analyzed through frame analysis model. The ChosunIlbo, known as a conservative and pro-government paper, shows to take the role of supporting chaebol policies under Roh TaeWoo Administration. However, it criticizing sharply against the chaebol policies of Roh MooHyun Administration. The JoongangIlbo, known as a pro-chaebol paper, appears anti-government position through the entire four administrations in terms of chaebol policies. Particularly, it reveals hostile editorial coverage during the Roh MooHyun Administration. However, KyunghyangShinmun, currently known as a liberal paper, viewed somewhat complicated positions (see text in more detail) because of its ownership turbulence during the past twenty years. On the other hand, Hangyoreh, regarded as a progressive paper, keeps in supportive attitude consistently against the four sampled administrations as far as regulating each government policies for chaebols.

The study investigates one of the long-standing, but still controversial issues in modern finance from the international and domestic perspectives. That is, financial components and differences on corporate profitability are identified and compared under the primary hypotheses. Empirical research settings include the sample data as KOSPI-listed chaebol firms, time reference covering the post-era of the global financial turmoil and two differently defined profitability indices measured by the market- and the book-value bases. A majority of total 7 explanatory variables except firm size and leverage ratio reveal their statistically significant power to explain profitability indices for the chaebol firms in the first hypothesis. The results are generally compatible with those obtained from their counterparts of non-chaebol firms. In the second hypothesis applying multinomial logistic model, the chaebol firms are classified into three groups according to the level of profitability. It is then confirmed that variables to represent the market-valued debt ratio, business risk and growth potential are financially discriminating factors among the three groups. The study may provide a new vision to identify financial factors of corporate profitability for Korean chaebol firms after the global financial crisis, which can enhance the benefits of interested parties at the government or corporate level in a virtuous cycle.

자본주의적 시장경제에서 재벌기업이 유리한 것은 너무도 당연한 일이 되어 중소기업의 육성을 위한 종소기업법이 제정되어 중소기업도 보호를 받게 되었다. 우리나라는 경제체제로서 자본주의적 시장경제를 채택하고 있다. 기본적인 경제문제의 해결을 시장기구에 맡기고 있는 것이다. 이러한 체제에서 생산과 판매에 많은 자본을 투입할 수 있는 재벌기업이 유리할 수밖에 없는 것은 너무도 당연한 일이다. 우리 축산관련분야도 양돈 동물약품 배합사료업계가 재벌기업의 참여로 계층간의 문제가 표면화되기 시작하여 천민자본주의 형태로 가고있지 않느냐 하는 걱정을 하게 되었다. 서구 선진국들이 자원배분 소득분배 빈익빈 부익부 독과점 등 시장 실패를 스스로 조정해 나옴으로써 자본주의체제가 살아남을 수 있었던 것처럼 우리도 이러한 조정작업이 필요하게 되었다. 그러하기에 농$\cdot$수$\cdot$축협의 민주화가 요청되고 6공화국 헌법 제123조 2$\cdot$3$\cdot$5항에 중소기업의 보호육성을 명시하였고 중소기업기본법이 제정되었다. 이러한 시대적 요청에서 한국배합사료공업협동조합의 탄생은 필연적이며 앞으로의 역할도 크리라고 생각되어 김용태이사장을 만나보았다.

본 논문에서는 우리나라 기업의 재무상태 악화(financial distress)가 성과에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 재무상태가 악화되었을 때 성장성, 수익성 그리고 안정성 측면에서 기업이 어떻게 영향을 받는가를 분석하였고 재벌기업과 독립기업의 성과를 비교하였다. 본 논문의 분석결과에 의하면 산업에 불황이 닥칠 때 기업의 재무상태는 매출액증가율로 측정한 기업의 성장성에 어느정도 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있다. 부채의존도가 높은 기업의 매출액증가율이 부채의존도가 낮은 기업에 비해 작은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그러나 재무상태가 악화되어도 기업의 수익성은 별로 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 또한 소속 산업이 불황에 빠졌을 때 재벌기업은 독립기업에 비해 2년 매출액증가율이 약 18% 정도 큰 것으로 나타났다. 재벌의 계열기업들은 내부거래, 상호지급보증 그리고 상호출자등에 의해 영업실적이 부진해도 좀체로 퇴출되지 않는 것으로 알려졌는데 본 논문의 결과는 이러한 사실과 일맥상통한다고 할 수 있다.

This study investigated one of the contemporary issues in the Korean capital market and two hypotheses of concern were tested on the financial determinants of profitability for the firms belonging to the Korean chaebols during the era of the post-global financial turmoil. The first hypothesis applying conditional quantile regression (CQR) estimation provided the evidence that leverage ratio, fixed asset utilization, and foreign ownership among the nine quantitative explanatory variables, had overall statistical significance relative to the book-valued profitability measure, while additional variables such as a firm's size, fixed and a proxy for the type of exchange market showed their strong impacts on the market-valued profitability indicator. Concerning the formulated 'extended' DuPont system, only two components of EBITDAEBIT and EMULTIPLIER revealed their prominent influence on ROE (Return on Equity) over the two tested periods (the years 2008 and 2012).

The study empirically investigates financial factors that may influence on corporate R&D intensity during the post-era of the global financial turmoil (from 2010 to 2015) to mitigate possible spillover effect associated with the crisis. Concerning the empirical research settings of the study, chaebol firms listed in the KOSPI stock market are used as sample data with adopting various econometric estimation methods to enhance validity of the results. In the first hypothesis test, it is found that there exist inter-industry financial differences in terms of the ratio of R&D expenditure across all the sample years, but the statistical differences may arise from only a few domestic industries beloning to the high-growth sector. Moreover, it is also interesting to identify that, for the high-tech sector, 3 explanatory variables such as R&D intensity in a prior year, firm size and change in cash holdings are proved to be financial factors to discriminate between chaebol firms and their counterparts of non-chaebol firms, whereas a proportion of tangible assets over total assets as well as the former two variables are shown to be significant factors on the R&D intensity for the low-tech sector.
