The purpose of this paper is to examine how the social system of deposit insurance affected the financial market in Korea. Specifically, we want to know how much the risk-seeking behavior of financial institutions has increased or decreased. The most important feature of the deposit insurance system is to prevent the insolvency of financial institutions and to properly protect depositors. In recent studies, it has been argued that characteristics of deposit insurance bring moral hazard of financial institutions and that financial institutions make unreasonably risky investments. Therefore, in this study, we will first examine whether such previous research can be applied to the Korean financial market. Next, we will examine the appropriateness of the differential premium rate that is currently used for each financial institution in the Korean financial market. In order to test the first hypothesis, we used the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to calculate the total risk for each financial institution. As a result, significant changes were found in all regions before and after the introduction of the deposit insurance system. As for testing the second hypothesis, we conducted a variance analysis of financial institutions' indexes before and after the introduction of the deposit insurance and we discovered significance of the total risk difference.

This study presents some empirical results on variable rate deposit insurance premium in Korea. The study estimates deposit insurance premium for all insured financial institutions in Korea using Ronn and Verma(1986) model which is based on Merton(1977)'s option pricing model. The sample period is 1995-2001 and the study includes trend analysis and cross-sectional analysis for premium estimation. The study also includes the correlation analysis between the estimates and profitability and capitalvariables such as BIS capital ratios, ROE and ROA. The results show that the estimates differ across financial institutions and sample periods. Thus it supports that each deposit premium should reflect its own risks. It also supports the necessity for the system of variable rate deposit insurance premium.

예금보험제도는 금융기관에 대한 예금자의 신뢰성을 보장해 주어 금융제도의 안정성을 유지시킨다는 면에서 유용한 제도이나 보험의 일반적인 속성인 도덕적 해이를 유발할 수 있다는 단점이 있으며, 이를 방지하기 위한 대안으로 예금보험료율을 금융기관의 위험에 따라 차등화 하는 위험예금 보험료율 제도가 검토되어 왔고 일부 국가에서는 이를 시행하고 있다. 위험예금보험료율을 결정하는 방안으로 그간 주가자료를 이용한 옵션가격결정모형이 주로 연구되어 왔는데, 본 연구에서는 Cox의 위험비례모형을 이용하여 은행의 위험을 측정하고 보험료율을 결정하는 방안에 관하여 연구하였다. 위험비례모형은 옵션가격결정모형과 달리 재무지표를 사용하므로 감독당국에서 실무상 적용하기가 용이하다는 등의 장점이 있다. 위험비례모형을 국내은행에 적용하여 실증분석한 연구결과 현행의 고정 예금보험료율은 국내은행의 위험에 비해 상당히 낮은 수준으로 나타났으며, 보험료율 결정에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 변수인 은행 실패시 예금보험기구가 부담하는 손실비율을 최소화하기 위해서는 부실은행은 조기 퇴출시켜야 한다는 논리적 타당성도 도출하였다.

Independent guarantee is a creation of the need from the both sides, i.e. the applicant (principal debtor) and the beneficiary (creditor). The former used to have to deposit cash in favor of the beneficiary in case of his default, which laid a burden on his liquidity while the latter still wanted to have the equivalent to cash. Independent guarantee satisfied the both parties by freeing the applicant of a deposit and maintaining the beneficiary's right at the same time. The fact that independent guarantee has three payment mechanisms is not widely known to the public. They are (i) payment on first demand, (ii) payment upon submission of third-party documents, (iii) payment upon submission of an arbitral or court decision. From the applicant's point of view, the order in his favor is (iii), followed by (ii) and (i). As there shouldn't be a case where one party is at a disadvantage against the other, useful insight is being sought for the benefit of the applicant. First, the applicant can offer his intention to provide a payment mechanism (ii) or (iii) rather than (i) if he must deliver it. Second, if the beneficiary still wants to have (i) and the applicant is in a position not to reject it, the latter should thoroughly check any provisions that may work against him later. Third, the applicant could use counterbalancing provisions in underlying contract to cope with protective clauses in the guarantees. Forth, the applicant should review the beneficiary's sincerity to prevent unfair calling risks. The applicant may use an ECA(Export Credit Agency) in his country to which he can transfer not only unfair calling risks, but also political risks. On the other hand, a bank needs to keep the following advice in mind. The foremost important thing for the bank not to forget is that it provides a guarantee as a service provider, not as a responsible party for the feasibility of the project, etc. Credit risk of the applicant should require the greatest attention when issuing a guarantee: the bank should look into the possibility that it can procure immediate reimbursement from its customers after payment to the beneficiary. Second, the applicant's ability to complete the project should be reviewed by checking its track records, techniques and reputation, etc. Third, the bank may also use an ECA to cover the beneficiary's unfair calling risks as well as political risks. In the case of Korea, as Korea Export Insurance Corporation(KEIC) can cover all the risks mentioned above, the bank could use its service called 'Export Bond Insurance.' What's better for the bank is that ECA cover can enhance the bank's asset quality by putting it zero on its risk weighted asset.

After studying FSMA 24, We found that the insolvency rule of financial institutions in FSMA consists of eight provisions: 1) voluntary arrangement, 2) administration order, 3) receiverships, 4) voluntary winding up, 5) winding up by the court, 6) bankruptcy, 7) provisions against debt avoidance, and 8) supplemental provisions in insurance cases. Insolvency provisions in FSMA explain powers and accountabilities of FSA in relation to these insolvency proceedings. Although there are some differences in proceedings, provisions entitle FSA the same status as creditors to petition the court, with a right to participate in related meetings and to be notified of any matters involving insolvency proceedings. The differences and implications between U.K.'s FSMA and Korean regulations are related to the insolvency rule of financial institutions. First, in FSMA, FSA has a comprehensive power to manage insolvency proceedings of financial institutions in a centralized way. However, Korean regulations have special laws to regulate insolvency in a decentralized way. The offices executing those laws are the Financial Services Committee, the Financial Supervisory Service, and the Financial Deposit Insurance Corporation. This characteristic results from an accelerated legislation procedures related to financial reform in 1997 Korean financial crisis. Second, FSA contains special provisions on continuation of contracts of long-term insurance considering the characteristics of insurance industry related to insolvency of financial institution. However, Korean insolvency rules applied to financial institutions do not consider industrial differences and the characteristics of financial contracts, so need to be supplemented in the future.

본 연구의 목적은 1993년에 미국에서 도입된 변동요율제도(risk-based deposit insurance system)의 도입으로 인한 미국은행들의 위험.이윤추구행동의 변화와 이러한 변화에 대한 주식시장 투자가들의 평가에 대한 실증적분석에 있다. 1989-1995년간 82개 미국 상장은행들을 대상으로 한 분석 결과 변동요율제도의 도입이후에 고(高)위험수준 은행, 즉 비싼 보험료를 부과받게 될 은행들의 위험추구는 저(低)위험수준 은행, 즉 낮은 보험료를 부과받게 될 은행들의 위험추구에 비하여 유의적으로 낮아졌음을 발견하였으며 이러한 결과는 은행산업의 안정을 도모하기 위하여 도입된 변동요율제도의 유효성을 뒷받침하여 주는 결과라고 할 수 있을것이다. 한편 변동요율제도하에서 고(高)위험.고(高)보험료로 인하여 위험추구가 많이 감소된 은행들은 위험추구의 감소로 인한 기대이윤(expected profit)의 감소를 이자율마진의 유리한 조정을 통해 은행고객 즉 예금자와 대출자들에게 집합적으로 전가함으로써 다소 만회할 수 있었다. 그러나 이러한 이자율마진의 유리한 조정은 위험추구의 감소로 인한 기대이윤의 감소를 완전히 상쇄하지는 못하였으며 따라서 주식시장 투자가들의 일반적인 평가는 변동요율제도하에서 위험추구가 많이 감소된 은행 즉 고(高)위험.고(高)보험료 은행의 주가수익율이 저(低)위험 저(低)보험료 은행의 주가수익을 보다 대체로 많이 하락하는 것으로 나타났다.
