The paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the stock market prices. The vector autoregression model (VAR) has been used in this analysis to survey 341 stocks on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE) for the period from January 23, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The empirical results obtained from the analysis of 11 economic sectors suggest that there is a statistically significant impact relationship between COVID-19 and the healthcare and utility industries. Additional findings show a statistically significant negative impact of COVID-19 on the utility share price at lag 1. Analysis of impulse response function (IRF) and forecast error variance decomposition (FEVD) show an inverse reaction of utility stock prices to the impact of COVID-19 and a gradual disappearing shock after two steps. Major findings show that there is a clear negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on share prices, and the daily increase in the number of confirmed cases, indicate that, in future disease outbreaks, early containment measures and positive responses are necessary conditions for governments and nations to protect stock markets from excessive depreciation. Utility stocks are among the most severely impacted shares on financial exchanges during a pandemic due to the high risk of immediate or irreversible closure of manufacturing lines and poor demand for basic amenities.

Over the past decades, Bangladesh has fought poverty via labor-intensive industry and inclusive financing. The techniques assist underprivileged women in achieving self-sufficiency and encourage them to pursue independent endeavors. However, the majority of female entrepreneurs focused on four key company types: parlor, boutique, clothes, and fashion, all of which have limited access to financing. It was feared that their shortage of finance was hindering the growth of their company. The study's goal is to assess the effects of financial availability and knowledge on women's entrepreneurship development in Bangladesh via the lens of transformational leadership practices. A sample of 580 SMEs was considered for data collection with a structured questionnaire: a five-point Likert scale for getting responses from SMEs. The model coefficients with structural equation modeling revealed that financial accessibility plays a positive and statistically significant role in women's entrepreneurship development. Moreover, knowledge level established positive interlinkage with women's entrepreneurship development. Transformational leadership, which plays a mediating role in leadership practices, has been linked to the development of women's entrepreneurship indirectly and positively. As a result, support for knowledge creation and external financing must evolve and be made available to ensure women's sustainable development through entrepreneurial activities.

The research looks into the impact of stock split announcements on stock prices and market efficiency in the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE). This research uses a sample of 26 stock split announcements that occurred between 2020 and June 2021. According to the Global Industry Classification Standards, the stock split announcements covered in the study pertain to 26 businesses and 9 industries (GICS). To obtain the results, the usual event research methodology is used. The findings demonstrate significant average abnormal returns of 15.01 percent on the day the stock split news is made public and abnormal returns of 4.11 percent and -4.05 percent one day before and after the stock split announcement date, respectively. The study's findings revealed significant positive abnormal returns one day before the disclosure date, indicating information leakage, and significant negative abnormal returns the next day after the announcement date, indicating CSE informational efficiency. Because stock prices adapt so quickly to public information, these findings support the semi-strong form efficient market hypothesis, which states that investors cannot gain an abnormal return by trading in stocks on the day of the stock split announcement.

This paper analyzes the profitability of the Private Finance Initiative(PFI) ports and proposes the application plans of the R-project(Rehabilitate project) for old ports to attract and activate private investment in the port industry. The R-project of old ports can reduce the government's financial budget and provide improved facilities for users more quickly than the public sector comparator. Before suggesting the R-project for old ports, the profitability of the currently operating 11 companies of the PFI ports are analyzed using the four ratios of profitability, and the results show that all the companies indicate low profitability, except for the top three companies. To apply the R-project, the three types of R-project ports are categorized as maintaining the function of the port, changing the function of the port, and mixing the function of the port. Additionally, three obstacles and improvement measures are suggested; attracting private business, legal issues, and administrative procedures. This study is conducive to the policy making for the port renewal and the activating PFI for the port industry.

Purpose: This study examines how psychological heuristics influence stock price dynamics in Korea's distribution industry after significant price shocks. Research Design, Data, and Methodology: The study analyzes daily stock price movements exceeding 10% for Korean distribution companies from 1993 to 2022. It establishes anchoring heuristic reference points, including the 52-week high and low, and segments the sample based on company size and volatility. Results: We analyzed a sample previously studied by Lee et al. (2023). Our findings indicate that when a stock experiences a positive (negative) price shock near its 52-week high (or lowest price), investors in large (small) companies exhibit an optimism (pessimism) bias. This leads to overreactions and subsequent stock price reversals after the event date. Conversely, when a stock encounters a negative (positive) price shock near its 52-week high (or lowest price), investorstend to underreact due to anchoring heuristics. Thisresultsin a drift effect on the stock price after the event day. Notably, investor behavior around 52-week highs or lows directly impacts their heuristic behavior related to those price points. Conclusions: This paper uniquely examines behavioral biases among distribution-related stock investors in Korea, shedding light on stock price reversal and drift effects.

현재 정보통신기술의 비약적인 발전은 물리적인 거래 패러다임을 전자방식으로 확대시키는 극적인 변화를 주도하고 있다. 주지하는 바와 같이, 금융서비스는 거래당사자간 대부분의 금융거래를 지원하고 있다. 그러므로 전자거래의 확대는 금융서비스를 제공하는 모든 금융기관들에도 영향을 미치고 있다. 이에 따라 모든 금융기관들은 정쟁에서 살아남기 위해 e-Finance 시스템을 도입하여 인터넷금융 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 이용자측면에서 인터넷을 이용한 e-Finance의 이용 실태와 확산요인을 분석함으로써 e-Finance 고객서비스의 질적인 향상과 신속한 확산 그리고 올바른 전략 수립에 기여하는 것이다. 본 연구는 기존문헌 검토와 요인 및 신뢰도 분석을 통해 e-Finance 자체에 대한 지각된 효율성과 지각된 신뢰 및 안전성, e-Finance 시스템에 대한 신뢰도, 기술적 요소, 고객서비스 품질 그리고 개인특성에 있어 혁신성향 등 6가지를 확산요인으로 채택한다. 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용한 가설 검증 결과에 따르면, e-Finance시스템에 있어서 기술적 요소와 고객서비스 품질 그리고 개인 특성에 있어 혁신성향은 e-Finance의 확산여부에 각각 유의수준 0.05와 0.01%에서 통계적으로 정의 영향을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 그렇지만 e-Finance 자체에 대한 지각된 효율성과 지각된 신뢰 및 안전성은 이의 확산여부에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 e-Finance 시스템과 관련하여 시스템의 신뢰도는 통계적으로 이의 확산에 유의적이지 못하였다. 본 연구는 추후 이용자 측면에서 e-Finance 확산요인에 관해 실증적 연구를 하는데 기본적인 자료로서 이용될 수 있고, 이에 대한 기업이나 정부의 정책 수립 또는 구현과 금융기관의 고객서비스 품질정도 결정에 이용될 수 있다. 그러나 본 연구는 만족요인과 이의 e-Finance에 대한 영향을 다루지 못했다는 점과 국내 이용자만을 대상으로 했다는 점 그리고 다중희귀분석을 실시하지 못했다는 점 등 몇 가지 한계를 갖는다.

본 연구를 위하여 정부의 금융관련 부서의 발표자료와 각 금융기관 및 전자금융 관련 기관의 자료를 광범위하게 분석한 결과, 우리나라의 전자금융 환경에 있어 첫째) 비대면 금융의 확대, 둘째) 금융권의 원격근무, 셋째) 공인인증의 폐지, 넷째) 고도화되는 보이스피싱, 다섯째) 금융산업의 개방과 형태의 다양화, 여섯째) '지갑 없는 사회'의 도래 등의 실제적 변화가 나타나고 있다. 하지만 이상의 문제 외에도 예를 들어, 4차 산업혁명으로 촉발된 전 세계적 변화는 금융보안 분야에도 전파되어, 인공지능 기술/딥러닝 기술/사용자 분석 기술/딥페이크(deepfake) 기술 등과 같은 문제는 특히 대응하기 어려운 위험요소이다. 전자금융은 사회적으로 점점 그 비중이 확대되고 있는 만큼, 전자금융과 그 환경의 문제 및 그로 인한 범죄와 범죄 수사의 분야까지도 꾸준하게 연구되어야 마땅하다.
