본 연구는 외국인지분율이 투자자들 간의 상이한 믿음에 어떠한 영향을 주는지에 관한 실증분석을 실시하였다. 한국은 외국인 직접투자도 활발하지만 외국인 간접투자 또한 활발하다. 따라서 외국인지분율과 관련된 투자 의사결정에 관한 논의는 한국경제를 위해 간과할 수 없는 분야라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 2001-2011년 기간 동안 유가증권시장 상장법인(금융업 제외)을 대상으로 실증분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 외국인지분율의 회귀계수는 유의한 음(-)의 값을 가지는 것으로 나타났으며, 최소자승법(ordinary least squares)과 토빗(tobit)분석을 사용하여도 일관된 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 외국인투자자의 투자성향(장기 투자성향과 단기 투자성향)을 고려한 후, 각각의 집단에서 외국인지분율이 투자자들 간의 상이한 믿음에 미치는 영향을 추가 분석을 실시했다. 본 연구는 외국인지분율이 일반 투자자의 투자의사결정에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지를 분석함으로서 외국인 간접투자에 대한 분석을 했다는 점에서 의의를 갖으며, 일반 투자자들이 투자의사결정시 외국인투자자를 고려하고 있다는 실증결과를 제시한다는 점에서 함의점이 있다.

Purpose - This paper's purpose is to investigate how foreign ownership and innovation affect firm value. Design/methodology - Firm innovation is defined as operational efficiency, which is calculated by adopting data envelopment analysis (DEA). Additionally, R&D intensity is included as a measure of innovation in the analysis. We used firm-level data from manufacturing companies in Korea. The sample comprised 3,753 firm-year observations for every year in the period 2003-2017. Findings - We found that foreign ownership and innovation are positively related to firm value (Tobin's Q). Foreign ownership moderates innovation's contribution to firm value, implying that foreign ownership may enhance the value relevance of firm innovation. In addition, we found that firm innovation partially mediates the relationship between foreign ownership and firm value. Originality/value - This highlights the important role of foreign investors' monitoring; wherein foreign investors enhance firm value by facilitating firm innovation. Our results suggest that foreign ownership can be crucial for innovation and may serve to address weak ownership structures.

After the year of 2000, compositions of stock holders in domestic firms are rapidly changing. In domestic stock market, the proportion of market value held by foreign investors reaches over 40%. There are several blue chip companies among those where foreign investors hold more than 50% of the stocks. There are still hot debates going on about whether the increase in the number of foreign investors contributes to domestic companies. This research attempted to determine foreign ownership increases enhance firm value empirically. It has been shown that foreign ownership variable has significant positive impact on Tobin's Q of firm value variable. The result suggests that foreign ownership increases in domestic corporations positively contribute to firm value, as they monitor and keep the management transparent as an institutional investor, and they work to soothe agency problems by the managements or the large stock holders.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to find out the impact of ownership structure on firm performance in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry of Bangladesh. Research design, data and methodology: The study has been conducted on 28 listed pharmaceutical and chemical companies from 2012 to 2020. Return on Assets (ROA) and Tobin's Q are selected as indicators of internal and market performance of the firms respectively whereas institutional ownership, directors' ownership and foreign ownership are selected as proxies of ownership structure. Panel analysis using random effects, lag method and time dummy method is used to analyse the relationship. Results: The study has found the existence of highly concentrated directors' ownership, a low percentage of institutional ownership and a very insignificant proportion of foreign ownership in the industry. The regression results show that directors' ownership has a positive and significant impact on firm performance, supporting the concept of agency theory. The study has also found a positive and significant impact of foreign ownership on firm performance. Unfortunately, the impact of institutional ownership is found to be insignificant. Conclusions: Directors' ownership and foreign ownership decreases agency cost that ultimately increases firm performance. However, the role of institutional investors is not significant enough to improve firm performance. It is suggested that institutional investors should be more active and involved in monitoring the activities of the organisations to improve performance.

본 연구는 외환위기 이후에 외국인 투자비중이 기업가치에 미치는 영향을 실증분석하였다. 2000년부터 2007년까지 8년 동안 외국인지분율이 영(0)보다 큰 기업을 대상으로 분석한 결과 외국인 투자비중이 증가할수록 기업가치는 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 관계는 동시성을 고려해 외국인지분율과 기업가치를 내생변수로 보고 분석을 해도 동일하게 성립하였다. 한편 역으로 외국인이 기업가치가 높을 것으로 전망되는 기업에 선별적으로 투자한다는 증거는 발견할 수 없었다. 외국인 투자비중 확대에 따른 기업가치의 상승은 외국인투자자가 투자기업에 대한 감시 및 견제 역할을 충실히 수행하기 때문인 것으로 해석된다. 이는 전통적으로 소유경영자에 의한 기업지배가 강한 우리나라 기업들이 소유분산이 심화되는 과정에서 외국인투자자를 비롯한 기관투자자가 투명성 제고 및 지배구조 개선에 있어 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 의미한다고 하겠다.

The study aims to examine the impact of productivity in addition to the policy of increasing the foreign investors' ownership rate on the performance of businesses which were listed on Vietnam's stock exchange market from 2010 to 2017. With the database of 3.961 observations, the study employs a statistical method - multiple regression to estimate the relationship between labor productivity, foreign ownership as well as other firm-level characteristics and firm performance. Research findings show that increasing labor productivity and increasing foreign ownership rates help increase firm performance. In addition, except for financial leverage, variables such as liquidity and firm size have positive effects on firm performance measured by Tobin's Q. These findings have theoretical contributions and practical implications for managers, investors and government in Vietnam. Managers should pay attention to improving labor productivity through employing incentive mechanisms, building a good working environment, investing in technology, etc. in order to enhance the firm performance. Investors could utilize the labor productivity and foreign ownership indicators to select stocks of good companies for investment. For Vietnamese government, relaxing the limit of foreign ownership and accelerating the divesting of State capital in State-owned enterprises could help increase the investment scale of foreign investors and resulting in positive effects on the firm performance.

This study investigates whether foreign investors' behavior is involved in firm-specific investor sentiment. Because the mixed role of foreign investors on investor sentiment formation seems to exist in the Korean stock market, it needs to examine the moderate or incremental effect of foreign investors on the stock price crash risk which is due to investor sentiment. The analysis results using Korea Stock Exchanges - listed firms for the period of 2011-2019 show the increased future stock price crash risk which is attributable to high investor sentiment is mitigated for firms with the high foreign ownership, indicating the moderate effect. This study expands the literature on the foreign investors' behavior in the Korean stock market, by showing foreign investors are not involved in firm-specific investor sentiment, which improves market's efficiency in the Korean stock market. Also, the paper is valuable to the academic and practice field in that the findings shed light on the foreign investors' mitigating role in stock price crashes in the behavioral finance perspective.

With a view to attracting foreign investment and growing the economy, the Vietnamese government has hastened financial reforms, including the lifting of limitations on foreign investment, which has resulted in rapidly rising foreign ownership in recent years. To study the relationship between transactions of foreign investors and transactions of domestic investors on two stock exchanges in Vietnam Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HSX) and Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX). This study applies a secondary dataset comprising daily market trading information of 912 stocks from 18 industries listed on 2 Vietnam stock exchanges, including HSX and HNX, which includes executed price, executed volume, daily Buy Orders, and Sell Orders categorized into domestic investors' orders and foreign investors orders from 01.04.2010 to 10.04.2018. The regression results show a significantly positive relationship between foreign investors' trading and domestic investors' transaction in all trading activities in both up and down markets. Therefore, these results indicate that domestic investors in Vietnam are concerned with foreign investors' trading as an important sign, and domestic investors tend to follow their counterparties without appropriate fundamental information. From there, there are signs of herding behavior of domestic investors following foreign investors in transactions on the stock market in Vietnam.

본 논문은 외국인투자자가 국내 기업의 배당과 투자 의사결정에 미치는 영향에 관하여 2001년에서 2008년까지 거래소에 상장된 12월 결산 비금융업체를 대상으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 전체 외국인투자자의 경우 배당성향을 증가시켰으나 이러한 경향은 최근으로 올수록 약화되었다. 또한 투자목적을 구분한 경우 기업의 배당성향 증가에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 둘째 외국인 투자자들의 지분이 증가할 경우 고정자산증가율과 유형자산증가율로 본 설비투자는 감소하였으며 5%이상 외국인 투자자와 경영참가목적 외국인 투자자의 경우 연구개발비율에서 유의한 양(+)의 계수값을 보였다. 또한 5%이상 외국인 투자자의 영향력은 경영참가목적 외국인 투자자에 의해 주도됨을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 외국인 투자자 지분율과 기업의 배당 의사결정 간의 내생성 문제를 고려하기 위해 HT-IV/GLS 방법을 선택한 결과와 회귀분석, 고정효과 모형 간에 계수 값의 크기와 유의성에 차이가 있어 내생성을 고려할 필요가 있음을 알려주었다.

본 연구는 기업지배구조가 차입비용에 미치는 영향을 외국인 기관투자자의 역할에 초점을 맞추면서 분석하였다. 서로 다른 지배구조에 따른 차입비용에 영향을 보기 위해, 최대주주 지분율 기준으로 소유 집중도가 작은 기업표본, 중간 기업표본, 큰 기업표본으로 분류하여 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 소유 집중도가 중간이나 작은 기업표본에서는 외국인 투자자가 기업 차입비용에 영향을 미치는 것이 확인되지 않았으나, 소유 집중도가 큰 기업표본에서는 외국인 투자자가 기업의 차입비용을 크게 감소시키고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 학술적 시사점으로는, 지배대주주의 지분율이 높아질수록 이해일치가설에 의해 지배대주주는 자신의 사적 이익을 추구하게 되어 대리인 비용이 증가하고 경제적 가치가 하락하여 신용위험과 차입비용 증가로 이어질 수 있다는 것을 보여 준다. 실무적 시사점으로는, 외국인 투자자는 소유 집중도가 큰 기업에서 지배 대주주를 잘 견제 감시하고 경영의 외부감시 주체로서 경영 의사결정 효율화에 중요한 역할을 담당할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.
