The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of cash holdings on firm value in export companies. To investigate this effect, we analyzed 5,386 samples drawn from export companies listed in the KOSDAQ from 2011 to 2018. During this period, the International Financial reporting Standards have been employed. The research results are as follows. First, the results of a T-test showed that the level of the firm value of export companies with high levels of cash holdings is significantly higher than that of those with low levels of cash holdings. In addition, the level of the firm value of export companies with higher levels of cash holdings than in the previous year is higher than the level might otherwise be. Furthermore, the effects of cash holdings on firm value are similar to those on return on asset. These results suggested that export companies have little used a way of increasing their debt levels in order to increase cash holdings. Second, the results of a multivariate regression analysis presented that the cash holdings of export companies in listed the KOSDAQ significantly influence their firm value. Moreover, a higher level of cash holdings than in the previous year significantly affect firm value. These results proposed that making higher cash holdings than in the previous year might be useful in enhancing firm value. We found that export companies efforts to increase cash holdings positively influence changes in firm value. We also found that Korean export companies maintain their financial stability by obtaining sufficient liquidity specifically in a high uncertainty era like the recent time. We finally firmed an effort to maintain cash holdings as a reasonable choice for export companies.

본 연구는 외환위기를 전후로 우리나라 기업의 현금보유 패턴에 어떠한 변화가 발생하고 있는지 분석하였다. 분석결과에 따르면, 첫째 최근 현금보유가 증가한 것은 소수의 기업들이 현금보유 규모를 과거에 비해 급격하게 증가시키는 과정에서 관찰된 현상이며, 전반적으로 기업들의 현금보유가 증가하였다고 보기는 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 선진국의 경험과 유사하게 우리나라 기업들의 경우에도 영업성과의 불확실성이 높을수록 현금보유 비중을 높게 가져가는 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 최근 영업성과의 불확실성이 과거에 비해 상승한 것도 우리나라 기업의 현금보유 패턴 변화에 일부 영향을 미쳤을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 기업의 과잉투자성향이 보유현금의 시장가치에 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 또한 기업의 소유구조에 따라 과잉투자성향이 보유현금의 시장가치에 미치는 영향이 차별적으로 나타나는지 검증하였다. 분석결과, 과잉투자성향이 증가할수록 기업의 보유현금에 대한 시장가치는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 투자자들이 과잉투자성향이 높은 기업이 미래의 경영성과가 악화되고 미래 현금흐름에 대한 부담이 과도하게 발생할 것으로 인식하여 이러한 기업의 보유현금에 대한 시장가치를 부정적으로 평가하는 것으로 해석된다. 또한 경영자가 높은 수준의 지분을 보유하고 있는 소유경영자 지배기업의 경우 과잉투자성향이 보유현금의 시장가치를 감소시키는 효과가 더 크게 나타난다는 결과를 발견하였다. 이는 소유경영자 지배기업의 경영자가 자신의 특권을 누리기 위한 목적으로 보유현금을 사적으로 유용하는 것으로 시장에서 인식되어 과잉투자성향이 현금가치를 더 큰 폭으로 감소시키는 것으로 파악된다. 본 연구는 기업의 소유구조의 특성에 따라 과잉투자성향이 보유현금의 시장가치에 미치는 영향이 다르게 나타날 수 있음을 확인하였다는 측면에서 의의를 갖는다.

Investment decisions are one of the most fundamental issues in financial management. This study aims to determine the factors that affect investment decisions in the energy industry and to contribute to the companies in this industry to develop strategic policies. The System GMM analyzes were carried out using the data of companies registered on the stock exchange for the period 2000-2015. The findings showed that industrial competition and firm size were important factors influencing the investment decisions of firms in the energy industry. The findings indicated a nonlinear relationship between industrial competition and the rate of investment in the energy sector. Depending on the firm's size, the effect of industrial competitiveness on investment varies. Smaller businesses are more impacted by the level of competition than larger ones. The investment rate decreases depending on the increase in cash holding level and firm risk. When the subgroups in the energy industry are examined, it is determined that they reveal some differences in terms of financial structure. A higher investment rate results from a higher retained earnings ratio. The investment rate of firms falls as a company's risk level and sales revenue variability increase.

In insurance, the surrender rate is an important variable that threatens the sustainability of insurers and determines the profitability of the contract. Unlike other actuarial assumptions that determine the cash flow of an insurance contract, however, it is characterized by endogenous variables such as people's economic, social, and subjective decisions. Therefore, a microscopic approach is required to identify and analyze the factors that determine the lapse rate. Specifically, micro-level characteristics including the individual, demographic, microeconomic, and household characteristics of policyholders are necessary for the analysis. In this study, we select panel survey data of Korean Retirement Income Study (KReIS) with many diverse dimensions to determine which variables have a decisive effect on the lapse and apply the lasso regularized regression model to analyze it empirically. As the data contain many missing values, they are imputed using the random forest method. Among the household variables, we find that the non-existence of old dependents, the existence of young dependents, and employed family members increase the surrender rate. Among the individual variables, divorce, non-urban residential areas, apartment type of housing, non-ownership of homes, and bad relationship with siblings increase the lapse rate. Finally, among the financial variables, low income, low expenditure, the existence of children that incur child care expenditure, not expecting to bequest from spouse, not holding public health insurance, and expecting to benefit from a retirement pension increase the lapse rate. Some of these findings are consistent with those in the literature.
