본 연구는 중소기업의 자본조달 방식이 기업가치에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고 있다. 자본시장에서의 정보비대칭을 고려할 때 투자자들은 중소기업이 자본조달의 포트폴리오(내부유보자금과 부채)를 어떻게 구성하는지에 따라 부채의 의미를 해석하고 투자의사결정을 한다. 구체적으로 중소기업의 부채발행은 '효용'과 '비용'의 양면적인 의미를 내포하고 있다고 볼 때, 본 연구는 내부유보자금과 부채의 선택경쟁 하에서 투자자들이 부채발행의 의미를 어떻게 해석하느냐에 따라 기업가치가 상이하게 나타날 것으로 본다. 본 연구에서는 내부유보자금 또는 부채의 선택경쟁 상황에서, 중소기업의 부채비중이 커질수록 비용신호가 우세하여 기업가치에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 예측한다. 또한, 이러한 신호효과는 해당 기업이 얼마나 가시적인가에 의해 영향을 받을 것으로 본다. 이와 같은 주장을 검증하기 위해서, 미국의 중소기업 363개를 대상으로 부채발행 비중(부채-이익잉여금 비율)이 기업가치(토빈 q 비율)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 선택경쟁에서 중소기업의 부채비중은 기업가치에 부정적인 영향을 미치며, 해당 기업의 높은 가시성이 비용신호의 효과를 완화하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 분석결과는 중소기업의 자본조달 방식이 기업가치에 미치는 영향은 투자자들의 관점에서 재조명할 필요가 있음을 의미한다.

Purpose - This study investigates the impact of equity financing on the valuation of R&D investments using a sample of firms from 33 countries from 1997 to 2018. Design/methodology/approach - I use a modified version of the valuation regression widely used in the literature. Findings - I find evidence that R&D investments are more highly valued when financed through equity. In contrast, debt financing does not affect the valuation of R&D investments. I also document that the impact of equity financing on R&D investment valuation weakens during the financial crisis. Research implications or Originality - In light of the distinctive characteristics of innovative investment, previous research investigates its relationship with financing. What remains unexamined, however, is how financing choices impact the way investors value innovative investments. This study seeks to bridge this gap in the existing body of research using a sample of firms from 33 countries from 1997 to 2018, for 22 years.

The objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of working capital policy and strategy on a firm's performance including profitability and market value. By applying One-Sample T-Test, working capital investment and financing policies were classified into the three sub-policies and strategies: aggressive, moderate, and conservative, unlike previous studies using two sub- policies and strategies. The results showed that the SET-listed companies in all seven industry sectors primarily adopted an aggressive working capital investment policy and a conservative working capital financing policy, so-called as moderate working capital management strategy (MWS), at 49.40%. While the firms adopted and conservative working capital management strategy (CWS), 45.70%, followed by the aggressive working capital management strategy (AWS), at 4.90%. When examining the impacts among three-sub policies and strategies on a firm's performance, it was found that the conservative working capital financing policy led to the highest profitability and market value in all industry sectors. The findings also revealed that the aggressive strategy has no impact on a firm's performance in terms of profitability and market value.

We try to test the pecking order theory of Korean fisheries firm's capital structure using debt capacity. At first, we estimate the debt capacity as the probability of assigning corporate bond rating from credit-rating agencies. We use logit regression model to estimate this probability as a proxy of debt capacity. The major results of this study are as follows. Firstly, we can confirm the fisheries firm's financing behaviour which issues new debt securities for financial deficit. Empirical test of SSM model indicates that the higher probability of assigning corporate bond rating, the higher the coefficient of financial deficit. Especially, high probability group follows this result exactly. Therefore, the pecking order theory of fisheries firm's capital structure applies well for high probability group which means high debt capacity. It also applies for medium and low probability group, but their significances are not good. Secondly, the most of fisheries firms in high probability group issue new debt securities for their financial deficit. Low probability group's fisheries firms also issue new debt securities for their financial deficit within the limit of their debt capacity, but beyond debt capacity they use equity financing for financial deficit. Therefore, the pecking order theory on debt capacity come into existence well in high probability group.

혁신형 중소기업 기술금융의 지속적인 확대와 발전을 위해서 기술금융 지원사업의 적절성이 요구된다. 본 연구에서 기술금융 수혜기업의 선정이 사업 목적과 취지에 적합한지 여부를 실증 분석하였다. 기술금융 여신이 발생될 확률은 기술력등급이 높을수록, 영업이익률이 높을수록 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 자본금과 업력이 증가할수록 기술금융 여신 승인이 발생될 확률은 점진적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 로지스틱 분석결과 기술력 등급과 기업의 주요 특성이 기술금융 수혜기업 선정에 유의한 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 모형의 적합성인 정분류율이 높지 않기 때문에, 기술금융의 적절성을 높이기 위한 개선을 제안하였다. 그리고 회귀분석 결과 대출금 규모와 기술력 등급사이에 연관성은 유의하지 않게 나타났다. 본 연구결과와 제안은 기술금융 결정의 적절성과 신뢰성을 확보하는 데 기여할 것이다.

We examine the existence of the investment signaling equilibrium without assuming a specific utility function for the managers of the corporations. We assume the managers have the initial holdings of their own corporations as a form of the executive compensation. Under the different financing schemes to finance the investment, the new equity financing and the risky debt financing, we derive the investment signaling equilibrium and compare the the investment signaling equilibrium under each financing scheme. We show that the investment signaling equilibrium with each financing will obtain with the underinvestment of the high quality firm and that the investment signaling equilibrium with the risky debt financing will dominate the investment signaling equilibrium with the new equity financing.

이 논문은 기업의 자본조달과 자본구조를 설명하는 이론으로 대표적인 정태적 절충이론과 자본조달순위이론을 2000년부터 2010년까지 11년간의 기간에 걸쳐서 한국의 중소기업이 주로 상장되어 운영되는 코스닥시장을 대상으로 분석하였다. 코스닥 시장에 거래된 금융업을 제외한 762개의 표본에 대해 전체기간, 전반기 및 하반기의 하위기간으로 구분하여 회귀분석한 결과 부채사용으로 인한 법인세 절약효과와 기업규모 증가에 따라 부채비율이 증가하는 정태적 절충이론의 주장이 일부 지지되지만, 성장기회가 많을수록 부채사용을 선호하고, 수익성이 높을수록 유보이익과 같은 내부자금을 선호함에 따라 레버리지가 감소하는 자본조달순위이론도 일부 지지하는 결과를 얻었으나 감가상각비 등을 이용한 비부채 세금절약은 자본조달 의사결정에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 분석되었다.

해운기업의 경우 선박과 같은 설비자산에 대한 타인자본의존도가 높아 자본구조를 포함한 재무건전성에 대한 관리가 여타 산업에 비해 높은 특징을 가지고 있다. 아울러 선박과 같은 자산의 확보에 거대 자본이 소요되는 만큼 조달비용을 포함한 자본비용과 장기지불능력을 동시에 고려해야 하는 특징도 가지고 있다. 즉, 투자에 따라 창출될 미래현금흐름이 자본비용뿐만 아니라 장기부채비용까지 보존되어야하는 것이다. 이를 바탕으로 본 연구는 타인자본조달이 중요한 해운기업들을 대상으로 부채 및 기업특성변수와 기업의 투자활동과의 관련성을 알아보고자 하였으며, 자산대비 부채비율, 부채만기, 금융비용 부담률이 해운기업의 투자활동 현금흐름과 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 부채가 증가할수록 투자활동현금흐름이 위축되는 결과를 보여주었으며, 기업규모가 작고 경기가 불황일수록 자본의 조달비용측면에 더욱 민감한 것으로 분석되었다. 반면 기업규모가 크고 상대적으로 호황일수록 자본조달비용측면보다는 자본구조에 더 민감한 나타났다. 결국 해운기업의 경우 부채관련 요인이 주요한 투자활동 변수임과 동시에 기업규모와 경기변화에 따라 투자의사결정요인이 다른 양상을 가짐을 시사해주고 있다.

Purpose - The aim of this paper is to investigate the explanatory power of the Pecking-order theory (the cost of financing increases with asymmetric information) among Korean retail firms from the perspective of debt capacity. According to the Pecking-order theory, a firm's first preference is to use internal funds for its capital needs, its next preference is the issuance of debt, and its last preference is the issuance of equity; this is due to the information asymmetry problem between existing shareholders and investors. However, prior empirical studies, such as Lemmon and Zender (2010), argue that the entire sample test for the Pecking-order theory could be misleading due to the different levels of debt issuance capability of each of the individual firms; in fact, they confirm that the explanatory power of the Pecking-order theory improves after taking into account the differences in debt capacity of the U.S. firms they examined. This paper implements a case study approach among Korean retail firms to examine the relationship between debt capacity and the explanatory power of the Pecking-order theory in Korea. Research design, data, and methodology - This study uses the sample of public retail firms on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) from the time period of 1990 to 2013. We gather related financial and accounting statements from the financial information firm WISEfn. Credit rating information is provided by the Korea Investor Service. We employ the models of Lemmon and Zender (2010) and Son and Kim (2013) to measure a firm's debt capacity. Their logit models use the rating dummy variable as a dependent variable and incorporate other firm characteristics as independent variables to estimate debt capacity. To test the Pecking-order theory, we adopt variants of the financing deficit model of Shyam-Sunder and Myers (1999). In the test of the Pecking-order theory, we consider all of the changes in total debt obligations, current debt obligations, and long-term debt obligations. Results - Our main contribution to the literature is our confirmation of the predicted relationship between debt capacity and the explanatory power of the Pecking-order theory among Korean retail firms. The coefficients on financing deficits become greater as a firm's debt capacity improves. This is consistent with the results of Lemmon and Zender (2010). The coefficients on the square of the financing deficits are also negative for the firms in the largest debt capacity group, which is also consistent with the predictions in prior literature. Conclusions - This study takes a case study approach by examining Korean retail firms. We confirm that the Pecking-order theory explains the capital structure of retail firms more appropriately, after taking into account the debt capacity of each firm. This result suggests the importance of debt capacity consideration in the testing of the Pecking-order theory. Our result also implies that there has been a potential underestimation of the explanatory power of the Pecking-order theory in existing studies.

The purpose of this study is to investigate empirically interaction among the financing decision, investment decision, and profitability by using 41 fisheries corporations in Korea, and to suggest implications of the empirical results for government's financial policy for fisheries corporations. Sample period is 19 years from 1982 till 2000. This analysis method employs the two stage least squares(2SLS) estimation method. From the results of regression analysis by 2SLS estimation method, the adjusted $R^2$ values were high and the overall F values indicated significant. The empirical results of this study are as follows; (1) determinant factors of capital structure model for fisheries are profitability, firm-size, fisheries investment of total asset, and business risk. As pecking order theory explains, the higher is profitability the lower is debt ratio. The larger firm-size, the higher is debt ratio. The higher is fisheries investment of total asset and business risk, the higher is debt ratio. (2) determinant factors of investment model for fisheries are the change of sales, business risk, and debt ratio. These factors have positive relation to fisheries investment of total asset (3) determinant factors of profitability model for fisheries are fisheries investment of total asset and debt ratio. These factors have negative relation to profitability. On the basis of analysis results, on the government's financial policy for fisheries corporations, I suggests that with interest rate reduction, the government should lend more funds to solve the crisis in the financial structure of the fisheries firms
