Using the frequency-based decomposition, I decompose the consumption growth to explain well-known patterns of stock returns in the Korean market. To be more specific, the consumption growth is decomposed by its half-life of shocks. The component over four years of half-life is called the business-cycle consumption component, and the components with half-lives under four years are short-run components. I compute the long-run and short-run components of stock excess returns as well and use component-by-component sensitivities to price stock portfolios. As a result, the business-cycle consumption risk with half-life of over four years is useful in explaining the cross-section of size-book-to-market portfolios and size-momentum portfolios in the Korean stock market. The short-run components have their own pricing abilities with mixed direction, so that the restricted one short-term factor model is rejected. The explanatory power with short- and long-run components is comparable to that of the Fama-French three-factor model. The components with one- to four-year half-lives are also helpful in explaining the returns. The results about the long-run components emphasize the importance of long-run component in consumption growth to explain the asset returns.

The paper investigates the mechanism through which corporate credit ratings affect dividend payments by decomposing the mean difference of dividends into a part that is explained by the determinants of dividends and a residual part that is contributed by the pure credit group effect, in the framework of the traditional dividend model of Fama and French (2001). Historically, better credit rated firms have shown consistently higher propensity to pay dividends especially during the economic crisis period. According to the counter-factual decomposition technique of Jann (2008), better rated firms are more responsive to the firm characteristics that have positive impact on dividends and poor rated firms are more responsive to the negative dividend predictors. As a result, good (bad) credit ratings make corporate managers become more bold (timid) in their dividend payments and they tend to pay more (less) dividends than what their firm characteristics prescribe. The degree of information asymmetry increases for the poor group firms during crisis periods and they attempt to reserve more cash in preparation for future investments. The decomposition results suggest that the credit group effect can potentially exceed the effect of firm characteristics because firms of different credit ratings can respond to the very same firm characteristics in a different manner.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential benefits or detriments of team management on fund performance in the mutual fund market. An additional purpose of this study is to examine the optimal number of managers in a fund industry for superior performance. Research design, data, and methodology - This paper investigates the effect of managerial structure on fund performance in the Korean active mutual fund market between 2001 and 2008. For this, we analyze two risk-adjusted performances measures- the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and the three-factor model of Fama & French (1993). Results - First, we found that single-managed funds exhibited superior performance. Second major finding was that as the number of managers in a fund increases, the fund performance deteriorates. Finally, the results reveal that the sharpest performance drop occurs when team size increases from a 5-person team to a 6-person team. Conclusions - The results suggest that the management structure can be a source of competitive advantage for fund performance. As considering fund performance is the outcome of managers' decision-making, this study contributes to not only the financial literature but also the literature in other areas, such as management and general business.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine whether trading volume amplifies the extent to which lottery-type stocks are overpriced, and whether economic sentiment index explains time-variation in the magnitude of the volume amplification effect. Design/methodology/approach - We examine monthly returns on 5x5 monthly bivariate portfolios formed by lottery characteristics (measured by maximum daily return) and trading volume. In addition, we perform time-series regression tests to examine how the volume amplification effect changes in high and low economic sentiment periods, after controlling for Fama-French three factors. Findings - Our bivariate portfolio analysis shows that the overpricing of lottery-type stocks are mostly pronounced among high trading volume stocks. In contrast, for low trading volume stocks, overpricing of lottery-type stocks appears to vanish. Furthermore, the amplification effect of trading volume on overpricing of lottery-type stock is concentrated in high economic sentiment periods. Research implications or Originality - This study is the first attempt to examine whether trading volume drives lottery-type stocks' overpricing in the Korean stock market. Furthermore, our analysis unveils the time-varying nature of volume amplification effect. The results suggest that trading volume might play a important hidden role in asset pricing, opening a new line of researches in the future.

Based on the findings of a study focused on medical institutions(Fama & French, 2002), this study determined possible causality between determinants of capital structure and liability level, while estimating targeted debt ratio. Moreover, it also examined hypotheses about the adjustment of targeted debt ratio and the of fundraising patterns, so that it verified the relative priority of trade-off theory and pecking order theory. First, profitability had positive(+) relationships with liability level, while investment opportunities had negative(-) relationships with liability level. This finding supported pecking order theory, and non-liability tax shield effects had negative(-) relationships with liability level as estimated in both trade-off theory and pecking order theory. Next, this study verified trade-off and pecking order theory at once by means of regression analysis about the variation of liability level in associations with disparity from targeted debt ratio and short-term fluctuation of profit and investment. As a result, it was noted that liability level became mean-reversed to targeted liability ratio but slowly, SO it was difficult to assert that such mean reverse may support trade-off theory. However, the finding that most of short-term fluctuations of profit and investment are absorbed into liabilities supported pecking order theory. On the other hand, it was found that the larger scale of medical institutions is more supportive of pecking order theory in the associations between liability level and profitability and the fundraising patterns than trade-off theory.

Purpose - This paper investigates the long term impact of RFID investment on firm value in Korea. We wand to find out why the long term performance of some firm's RFID investment is better than others. To understand the dynamics of the long term returns from RFID investment announcements, we divide our events into groups for each of the independent firm characteristic variable such as investment time period, kind of markets, industries, solvency and growth potential. We composed portfolios based on the RFID investment announcement date for each group and evaluate the monthly abnormal excess returns. Research design, data, and methodology - Based on these calendar-time portfolios, we measure the long term returns from 86 RFID investment announcements of 46 firms from 2003 to 2017. We construct the calendar-time portfolio for 3, 6, 9, 12 months of holding periods. Using the weighted least squares method, we regress the raw monthly returns of the portfolios on the Fama-French model and Carhart(1997) model. As a result, we can get the estimated risk adjusted mean monthly abnormal excess return α_P for each of the calendar-time portfolio. Results - We found that early adopters, large firms, non-manufacturing firms have very significant excess returns. We also found modestly significant excess returns for financially stable firms and slow growing firms. Put together, top managers of the firms which plan to invest RFID should understand the strategic role of RFID adoption and the generalized business process of distribution information technology investment in Korea. Moreover, the findings of this paper provide useful trading strategies to the managers of large funds who are considering on investing in RFID adopting firms. Conclusions - Put together, the results of this paper give us a new insight into how the RFID and IT technology in general and other characteristic factors' interactions affect the long term performance of firms. Using the unbiased estimates of long term returns of the calendar-time portfolios, this paper extends the understandings on short term impact of RFID adoption of existing studies. This paper also extends the current understandings of firm characteristics that affect the long term performance of RFID adopting firms.

본 연구에서는 발생액의 질(AQ)을 정보위험의 대용치로 하여 정보위험이 기존의 자산가격결정 모형에서 고려하지 못했던 새로운 위험요인인가에 대해 실증 분석하였다. 정보위험의 대용변수인 AQ는 확장된 Dechow and Dichev(2002)의 모형을 이용하여 측정하였고, 이를 이용하여 정보위험과 주식수익률 프리미엄 간의 관계를 검증하였다. Fama-French의 3요인 모형에 정보위험요인인 AQfactor를 포함한 모형과 이에 기초한 횡단면 모형을 통해 분석한 결과, 한국자본시장에서 AQfactor에 대한 베타위험은 주식수익률 프리미엄과 유의적인 관계를 갖지 못하며, 그 관계는 포트폴리오 특성에 따라 다르며 일관적이지 못하다. 이는 미국과 호주에 대한 Francis et al.(2005), Gray et al.(2009) 의 연구결과와는 대비되는 것으로 한국자본시장에서 AQ로 측정된 정보위험이 주식수익률을 결정하는 가격결정요인으로 작용하지 못함을 나타내는 것이다. AQ를 기업의 기본여건과 관련된 부분과 경영자의 재량과 관련된 부분으로 분해한 경우 역시 유사한 결과를 보여준다. 한편, AQfactor는 기업규모와 밀접한 상관관계를 가져 한국자본시장에서 AQ로 측정된 정보위험과 주식수익률 프리미엄 간의 관계가 기업특성변수와 관련된 현상일 가능성을 시사한다.

To analyze the effects of R&D expenditure on the firm value of Korean firms, we classified portfolios based on R&D activity levels. After that, we conducted a time-series analysis to assess excess returns from the portfolios. To carry out such an analysis, an empirical analysis of excess returns in the capital market was performed by using the monthly earning rate of stocks from 2000 to 2013. The purpose of this research is to provide basic data on investment to stakeholders in the capital market by analyzing the effects of R&D on the firm value and to overcome scholarly limitations by offering a new model of analysis. The criteria for classifying the portfolios were based on R&D expenditure levels. The analysis models follow the Fama-French Three-Factor Model and the Carhart Four-Factor Model. The analyses results are as follows. Extrapolating monthly profit rates based on R&D expenditure levels, portfolios with low R&D expenditures showed higher earning rates than those with high R&D expenditures. This suggests that high R&D expenditures did not translate into high earning rates. The investor depreciates the R&D expenditures related profitability and the possibility of success in the market, leading to falls in stock prices and a failure to give a positive effect on the firm value. Our research differs from the previous investigations as we carried out an empirical analysis based on the actual investors' attitudes about R&D expenditures and how these can generate excess earnings. Our research results show that the data related to R&D expenditure are not reflected fully in the market.

Purpose - This article tries to test if the conditional consumption capital asset pricing model (CCAPM) with bank credit for household as a conditional variable can explain the cross-sectional variation of stock returns in Korea. The performance of conditional CCAPM is compared to that of multifactor asset pricing models based on Arbitrage Pricing Theory. Design/methodology/approach - This paper extends the simple CCAPM to the conditional version of CCAPM by using bank credit for household as conditioning information. By employing KOSPI and KOSDAQ stocks as test assets from the second quarter of 2003 to the first quarter of 2018, this paper estimates risk premiums of conditional CCAPM and a variety of multifactor linear models such as Fama-French three and five-factor models. The significance of risk factors and the adjusted coefficient of determination are the basis for the comparison in models' performances. Findings - First, the paper finds that conditional CCAPM with bank credit performs as well as the multifactor linear models from Arbitrage Pricing theory on 25 test assets sorted by size and book-to-market. When using long-term consumption growth, the conditional CCAPM explains the cross-sectional variation of stock returns far better than multifactor models. Not only that, although the performances of multifactor models decrease on 75 test assets, conditional CCAPM's performance is well maintained. Research implications or Originality - This paper proposes bank credit for household as a conditional variable for CCAPM. This enables CCAPM, one of the most famous economic asset pricing models, to conform with the empirical data. In light of this, we can now explain the cross-sectional variation of stock returns from an economic perspective: Asset's riskiness is determined by its correlation with consumption growth conditional on bank credit for household.

본 논문은 우리나라 주식시장을 대상으로 Haugen Baker(1996)가 제시한 기업특성요인모형을 적용하여 주식수익률 결정요인을 분석하였다. 분석기간은 1999년부터 2007년까지 총 8년간이며, 총 690개의 상장기업의 월별 자료를 이용하였다. 기존 연구에서 제시된 변수를 바탕으로 유동성, 위험, 과거주가, 가격수준, 수익성 등과 관련된 16개의 변수를 독립변수로, 690개 주식의 월별 수익률을 종속변수로 하여 시간가변 회귀분석을 통해 분석결과의 강건성을 높이고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같이 요약될 수 있다. 첫째, 기업특성정보가 주식수익률 결정에 미치는 사전적 영향을 분석한 결과 해당기업이 공개한 직전월의 기업특성 정보 중 당월의 주가에 유의적인 영향을 나타내는 기업특성은 유동성, 모멘텀 지표인 1개월, 3개월, 6개월 초과수익률, 주가 승수 중 PSR, PBR, 수익성을 나타내는 ROE와 EPS 등의 8개 요인이다. 예측된 수익률을 이용하여 구축한 10개의 분위별 포트폴리오를 대상으로 실현수익률을 분석한 결과 예측수익률이 높을수록 실현된 수익률이 일관되게 높게 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, Haugen Baker가 제안한 기업특성모형을 이용한 주가예측모형을 바탕으로 구성된 포트폴리오를 Fama French가 제안한 3요인 모형에 적용시킨 결과 수익률이 높을 것으로 예측된 포트폴리오의 실현수익률이 높게 나타남을 확인하였다. 즉, 우리나라 주식시장의 수익률을 예측하는 데는 Haugen Baker의 기업특성 요인모형을 응용한 모형이 더욱 적합할 수 있으며, 이를 이용하는 것이 실무적으로도 유용성이 높을 것으로 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기존연구를 보완하여 보다 강건한 예측 및 운영성과를 보여주기 위해 노력하였다. 이를 위해, 시간 가변적으로 (1) 요인프리미엄을 추정, (2) 수익률예측 및 포트폴리오 조정, (3) 실현수익률 측정의 과정을 반복적으로 수행하였으며, 예측수익률이 높은 포트폴리오의 실현수익률이 상대적으로 높게 나타나는 일관된 결과를 강건하게 보여주고 있다.
