The purpose of this study is to determine the direction and significance of variables influencing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) decisions regarding accounting policy in Vietnam. Research data was collected through a survey of 296 subjects, including chief accountants, accountants, managers, and lecturers with practical experience in accounting work at enterprises. With the help of specialized software SPSS, determining the impact of factors on the choice of accounting policy of enterprises is done through a multivariate regression model with control tools Cronbach's alpha determination, EFA factor analysis, and Pearson correlation analysis. Research results show that there are seven factors affecting the choice of accounting policy in Vietnamese SMEs; in which, the factors information technology, legal environment, information demand, manager's awareness, and accounting qualification have a positive impact; and two factors are tax pressure, and financial leverage have a negative impact on accounting policy choice. These results are consistent with most of the previously published studies. However, in contrast to many previous studies, our research shows that accounting's psychological factor does not affect the accounting policy choice. This is consistent with the characteristics of SMEs in Vietnam because the role of accountants is not appreciated in the business.

Korean government is planning to adopt double entry bookkeeping with accrual basis in the government accounting system. This paper attempts to identify influencing attitudes of information producers toward the acceptance of the new service system. Several models are introduced, including Luder's Contingency Model, Cheng's Politico-Economic Model of Accounting Policy Choice, Roger's Diffusion of innovation, and Davis's Technology Acceptance Model(TAM). A set of constructs are developed as fellows : information producers' knowledges, experiences, altitudes toward the reform, characteristics of cash based accounting system and new accrual based system, a chief executive officer's willingness to support, availability of supporting systems, and social Influences from external environment. This study also incudes hey factors used in TAM, such as perceived usefulness and ease of use. Survey responses are gathered from accounting officers in government ministries and agencies as well as from local governments. Regression analysis shows that, for information producers, both 'perceived ease of use' and 'perceived usefulness' of the new system are the best explanatory variable for the dependent variable. It has also found that 'perceived usefulness' is explained best by individual characteristics such as knowledge and experiences, quality of current cash based s1n91e entry bookkeeping system, chief executive's support, Positive supporting systems and social influences. The useful guidelines for implementing double-entry bookkeeping system with accrual basis are also provided.

North-South Korea economic integration is progressing slowly given the sensitive responses to changes in internal and external conditions. Nevertheless, advanced discussions focusing on North-South Korean economic cooperation should continue. Given this background, various studies of the economic effects of economic integration between North and South Korea have been conducted, but research on agricultural issues has been limited. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the economic integration of South and North Korea on the agricultural market. In this study, a simultaneous equation model was constructed using a growth model. Solow's growth accounting approach is used to construct a model for estimating the macroeconomic effect of North-South economic integration. Also, the construction of growth accounting formulas subdivided into South and North Korea as well as agriculture and non-agricultural fields during the construction of the growth model is a major research achievement and differentiates it from previous studies. It is expected that the results of this study will serve as basic information for preparing policy measures to promote integration. However, there are many limitations when estimating the economic effects of North-South agricultural integration and obtaining policy implications given the insufficient available statistical data on agriculture in North Korea and the lack of related studies in the agricultural field. Therefore, it should be noted that there is an inherent problem in that the analysis results vary greatly depending on the assumptions set, as there is inevitably no choice but to rely on many and strong assumptions.

Purpose - This article aims to examine whether the stock issuance of firms in the retail industry follows Myers' (1984) pecking order theory, which is based on information asymmetry. According to the pecking order model, firms have a sequence of financing decisions, of which the first choice is to use retained earnings, the second one is to get into safe debt, the next involves risky debt, and the last involves finance with outside equity. Since the 2000s, the polarization of the LEs (Large enterprises) and SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) arose in the retail industry. The LEs exhibited an improvement in growth and profitability, whereas SMEs had a tendency to degenerate. This study contributes to corroborating the features of financing decisions in the retail industry distinguished from the other industries. Research design, data, and methodology - This study considers the stocks listed on the KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets from 1991 to 2013, and is more concentrated on the stocks in the retail industry. The data were collected from the financial information company, WISEfn. The empirical analysis is conducted by employing two measures of net equity issues (and), which were introduced in Fama and French (2005), and can be calculated from firms' accounting information. All variables are generated as the aggregate value of the numerator divided by aggregate assets, which, in effect, treats the entire sample as a single firm. Substantially, the financing decisions of the firms were analyzed by examining how often and under what circumstances firms issue and repurchase equity. Then, this study compares the features of the retail industry with those of the other industries. Results - The proportion of sample firms that show annual net stock issues reaching the level of the year's average was 54.33% for the 1990s, and fell to 39.93% per year for the 2000s. In detail, the fraction of the small firms actually increases from 45.08% to 51.04%, whereas that of large firms shows a dramatic decline from 58.94% to 24.76%. Considering the fact that the large firms' rapid increase in growth after the 2000s may lead to an increase in equity issues, this result is rather surprising. Meanwhile, net stock repurchases of assets are considerably disproportionate between the large (-50.11%) and the small firms (-15.66%) for the 2000s. Conclusions - Stock issuance of retail firms is not in line with the traditional seasoned equity offering based on information asymmetry. The net stock issuance of the small firms in the retail industry can be interpreted as part of an effort to reorganize business and solicit new investment to resolve degenerating business performance. For large firms, on the other hand, the net repurchase can be regarded as part of an effort to rearrange business for efficiency and amplifying synergy across business sections through spin-off. These results can help the government establish a support policy on retail industry according to size.

본(本) 논문(論文)은 기존의 경험적(經驗的) 산업조직론(産業組織論)에서 소홀히 취급한 기술적(技術的) 효율성(效率性)의 문제를 분석하기 위하여 광공업(鑛工業)센서스의 세세분류제조업별(細細分類制造業別) 사업체(事業體)를 대상으로 한국(韓國) 제조업(製造業)의 기술적(技術的) 효율성(效率性)에 관한 가장 미시적(微視的) 차원(次元)의 경험적(經驗的) 연구결과(硏究結果)를 제공한다. 기술적(技術的) 효율성(效率性)의 산업간(産業間), 국가간(國家間) 격차(隔差)를 성명하기 위해서는 우선 적절한 격차효율성지표(隔差效率性指標)의 선택이 매우 중요할 것이다. 이를 위하여 본(本) 연구(硏究)에서는 확률적(確率的) 생산경계(生産境界)를 수정최소자승법(修正最小自乘法)으로 추정한 후 각 산업별(産業別)로 기술적(技術的) 효율성(效率性)의 네가지 상이한 척도(尺度)에 대한 추정을 시도한다. 추정(推定) 결과 효율성(效率性) 척도간(尺度間)의 상관관계(相關關係)는 부가가치액(附加價値額)보다 생산액(生産額)을 종속변수로 한 경우가 다소 높은 것으로 나타났으나 전자(前者)의 경우가 보다 많은 산업(産業)에 대하여 효율성(效率性)의 추정(推定)을 가능하게 하기 때문에 산업간(産業間) 비교(比較)를 위하여 더 적절하다고 판단된다. 상당수의 산업(産業)에 있어서는 만족할 만한 효율성(效率性) 추정치(推定値)를 구하는 것이 불가능했지만 후속연구(後續硏究)의 관점에서 볼 때 기술적(技術的) 효율성(效率性)의 추정(推定)이 가능한 산업(産業)이 다수를 차지한 사실은 고무적 이라고 판단된다. 또한 종업원규모(從業員規模)가 영세한 사업체(事業體)들이 상대적으로 비효율적(非效率的)임을 알 수 있었다.

기업환경의 국제화 및 세계화에 따라 국내에 진출하는 다국적기업의 수는 증가할 것으로 보이는데, 그들을 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 적절한 수단은 별로 연구되고 있지 않은 것 같다. 다국적기업의 국제이전가격은 정교하게 설정되어 조세부담을 회피할 수 있기 때문에, 이를 관리하기 위해서는 다국적기업의 행태를 이해할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라에 진출한 외국인 기업의 특성 및 환경적 요인이 국제이전가격의 설정방식에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하는데 그 목표를 두고 있다. 2004년 현재 우리나라에 미화 100만불 이상의 직접투자를 수행하고 있는 외국인 투자기업 861개 기업을 대상으로 설문조사를 시행한 결과 121개 기업이 응답하여 이를 본 연구의 분석자료로 사용하였다. 종속변수로는 국제이전가격설정방법이 시장기준 혹은 원가기준에 의거하였는지의 여부를 묻는 2원적변수를 채택하였다. 시장기준방법의 경우 객관성이 높아 세무당국이 선호하는 방법임에 비해 원가기준은 경영자의 주관적인 판단이 개입될 소지가 많아 객관성이 떨어진다는 점에서 구분되기 때문이다. 독립변수로는 법인세, 관세, 세무당국과의 관계, 세무조사가능성, 현지투자자의 지분율, 내부거래비중, 매출액 및 제품수명주기가 채택되었고, 통제변수로는 중소기업여부 및 투자자의 국적이 더미변수의 형태로 포함되었다. 분석 결과를 살펴보면 세무변수로는 법인세와 관세가 유의하게 나타났는데, 그 중요도가 높을수록 경영자에게 재량권이 있는 원가기준이전가격방식을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 또 세무당국과의 관계를 중요하게 평가할수록 시장기준이전가격방식을 선호하는 것으로 나타났는데, 현지 정부는 객관성이 높은 시장기준을 가장 선호하기 때문에 기업의 입장에서 이 점을 고려한 것이라 생각할 수 있다. 제품 수명주기의 성숙도가 높을수록 원가기준을 선호하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 제품의 성숙도가 높을수록 경쟁 때문에 현지자회사가 시장을 확보하는데 어려움을 느끼게 되므로 이를 지원하는 수단으로 원가기준을 선호하는 것으로 보인다.
