우리나라 친환경농산물시장은 외형적으로 꾸준히 증가하고 있지만, 친환경농산물에 대한 소비자들의 신뢰도는 낮은 것으로 나타나, 친환경농산물시장의 발전에 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 따라서 친환경농산물시장을 활성화하고 궁극적으로 국민 건강의 증진 및 개방화시대에 우리나라 농업이 살아남기 위해서는, 친환경농산물을 비롯한, 한우와 수입우 등 '신뢰재(Credence Good)' 시장에서의 정보비대칭성(Information Asymmetry) 문제가 해소되어야 한다. 게임이론을 통하여 이러한 정보비대칭성을 계측할 수 있으나, 게임 참가자들의 보상(payoff)을 계측하는 문제의 해결이 용이하지 않고, 가능하더라고 유의성을 담보할 수 없다. 따라서 대안으로 Shannon(1948)에 의하여 주창된 정보엔트로피(Information Entropy; 정보무질서도 또는 정보교란도)의 측정을 통하여 정보비대칭성 지표를 개발하고 이를 토대로 친환경농산물시장을 관리하여야 한다. 본 연구에 따르면, 2003년 이후 친환경농산물시장의 정보엔트로피는 꾸준히 감소하고 있으며, 정책적 제안으로 인증제도의 개선 및 지표의 개발을 통하여 친환경농산물시장을 활성화시킬 것을 주장하였다.

Purpose: This study examines the opportunism moderating effect by the startup experience in the relationship between franchisor and franchisees. In the case of a franchise system that has a continuous relational exchange transaction, relationship management is a very important activity because the relationship management between franchisor and franchisees improves the quality of the relationship. Nevertheless, there is insufficient of research on opportunism, which is a negative factor in managing the relationship between franchisor and franchisees in continuous relationship. Research design, data and methodology: This study, we explore the cause of opportunism based on transaction cost theory through prior research and establish a research model based by goal incongruity, uncertainty, information asymmetry, transaction specific assets, the relevance to determinant of opportunism and the startup experienced which is a moderating variable. To verify several hypotheses, the data were collected from 300 out of 1,760 domestic franchisees and analyzed using multiple regression analysis with SPSS program. Results: The findings are as follows. Goal incongruity did not affect opportunism. Opportunism increased as uncertainty increased, and as information asymmetry increased, opportunism increased. An opportunism decreased as transaction specific assets increased. Moreover, the findings show that startup experience only plays a moderating role in the relationship between information asymmetry and opportunism. Therefore, 4 out of 8 hypotheses were supported. Conclusions: The findings show that uncertainty, information asymmetry, and transaction specific assets are the determinants of opportunism. In addition, the results of the analysis of the moderating role of startup experience show that the less entrepreneurial experience, the greater the influence of information asymmetry on opportunism. Our findings mean that maintaining a successful relationship between franchisors and franchisees is possible when franchisors provide knowledge sharing, goal sharing, environmental sharing, and management information sharing to franchisees. In addition, the findings of this study shows that the contract content and management should be changed according to the entrepreneurial experience. In other words, the franchisors must share and integrate the accumulated franchisees' and franchisors' experience with the franchisees to create a synergy that can lead to successful bilateral relationship maintenance, which in turn reduces opportunism.

Purpose - This study examines the effects of Dubai oil price and the volatility on the asymmetry of domestic gasoline price adjustment. Additionally, the study investigates the effects of "Altteul" gas-station and tax-cut policies on asymmetry. Design/methodology/approach - Firstly, the study calculates proxies for asymmetry and volatility of each window(every 3-month) by error-correction model and GARCH(1, 1) using daily domestic gas price and Dubai oil price from 2008/04/15 to 2022/12/31. Secondly, the study investigates the effects of the increasing rate of Dubai oil price, volatility, "Altteul" gas-station and tax-cut policies on asymmetry. The autoregressive distributed lag regression model is employed for estimations. Findings - The study finds that changes in the increasing rate of Dubai oil price and both types of volatility of Dubai oil price increase asymmetry. While "Altteul" gas-station and tax-cut policies decrease asymmetry. Additionally, the study fails to find that asymmetry in the Korean gasoline market in the estimation with total observations. Research implications or Originality - An increase in Dubai oil price volatility means an increase in cost uncertainty for gas-station owners. Since cost uncertainty is a kind of financial risk, the increase in volatility reinforces the asymmetry. The study provides supporting evidence for the idea.

Purpose - This study analyzes the effect of sellers' dishonesty on various market outcomes such as seller profit, buyer profit, and market welfare, through precisely measuring the level of sellers' information disclosure and its economic impacts. As an explicit observation of sellers' dishonesty is not easy in most other settings, this study is expected to suggest unique and meaningful implications on the effect of sellers' incomplete information disclosure to researchers, managers, and policy makers. Design/methodology/approach - In order to precisely measure the level of sellers' dishonesty under information asymmetry, this study analyzes the data from an incentive-based economic experiment using z-Tree software. This experimental method enables us to focus on the strategic interactions among participants, observe the integrity of seller's information disclosure, and reproduce real market situations. Findings - The analysis of sellers' dishonesty has provided the following important and counterintuitive findings about the reality of buyer-seller interactions under information asymmetry. First, sellers' lies do not affect seller profit even when they are very intensive. Second, sellers' dishonesty negatively affects buyer profit and the entire market welfare. Third, a seller's quality claim has a positive effect on the seller profit only when a seller is being honest. Research implications or Originality - This study analyzes sellers' dishonesty using incentive-based economic experiment using z-Tree software which provides a straightforward examination on dishonest behavior of sellers, that is not readily available with other types of observational or experimental data.

As users' interests of cryptocurrency has been increased, investment volume of it also increases. In the cryptocurrency market, it cannot always be distributed homogenous information to all investors, similar to the stock market because it reflects the characteristics of a market microstructure. Cryptocurrency traders, thus, like stock investors, can experience the information asymmetry in the market and cannot but help to depend on private information. The purpose of this study is to estimate the trading intensity of informed traders and uninformed traders among cryptocurrency investors around the world based on PIN (Probability of Informed Trading). We have an aim to compare the difference of information asymmetry according to the ten types of cryptocurrency. The results of this study are expected to prevent the continuous increase of suspicious transactions related to cryptocurrency and contribute to the development of a sound cryptocurrency market.

The malalignment of the trunk causes abnormal stress in a specific area and lead to trunk instability. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the angle between the infrasternal angle and the trunk side shift distance. The participants in this study 22 subjects were participated. The infrasternal angle and trunk side shift distance were measured using a camera and analyzed using the Image J program. The correlation between the asymmetry of the infrasternal angle and trunk side shift distance was moderate (r=-0.413; p=0.028). According to the asymmetry of the infrasternal angle, it was confirmed that trunk lateral shift appeared in a specific direction. Based on result, it suggests that infrasternal angle and trunk side shift should be considered in the intervention plan of patients with asymmetry of the infrasternal angle.

본 연구는 K-IFRS 의무 도입 이전 기간과 이후 기간을 각각의 표본으로 하여, 해당 기간에 자산재평가 이전과 이후의 정보비대칭 차이를 검증하고자 한다. 효율적 시장가설에 따르면 자본시장은 유형자산의 실제가치를 이미 인식하여 평가에 반영할 수 있고, 이러한 경우 유형자산 재평가는 자본시장에 추가적인 정보가 되지 못하고 단순히 비용만 발생시키는 행위가 된다. 본 연구에서는 유형자산 재평가 이후에 자본시장의 정보비대칭이 유의하게 감소하였는지 검증하고자 하며, K-IFRS에 따른 유형자산 재평가는 2008년부터 조기도입이 가능했으므로 K-IFRS 도입 이전과 이후로 표본을 분할하여 각각의 기간에 대해 검증하고자 한다. 연구 결과, K-IFRS 도입 이전 표본은 유형자산 재평가가 자본시장의 정보비대칭을 감소시키는 것을 확인하였으나, K-IFRS 도입 이후 표본은 유형자산 재평가가 자본시장의 정보비대칭을 감소시키지 못하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구 결과는 자본시장에서 유형자산 재평가에 대해 윈도우드레싱(window dressing)으로 판단하고 있다는 것을 지지하는 실증적 증거를 제공한다.

As increasing trade through the world, especially in food, asymmetry of information can make the trade shrink. With the industrial development, Korea's agriculture had shrunk dramatically. By the result of the nation's industrial restructuring, over than 3/4 of Korea food consumption comes from abroad. And China is an important source of agricultural product to Korea. Increasing family income and increasing importing food consumption, Korean consumers have been interested in food safety. Especially. after experiencing several cases like struggle for safety of GMO food, poultry influenza, lead contained Chinese fish import, mad cow disease, cheating origin, etc. Obviously, those unreliable cases will hinder the increase of world free trade as well as the trust of two countries. Furthermore, distrust will be a cause of adverse selection. So, it need to find a way to solve the distrust which caused by asymmetry of information. And automatic identification procedures can help mitigate asymmetry of information in trade. And it will make Korean consumers can avoid adverse selection. This paper suggests adoption of Auto ID to encourage agricultural trade between Korea and China.

Purpose - This paper shows an unexplored area related to involuntary delisting. Specifically, this research investigates the effect of target firm information asymmetry on the likelihood that the acquirer or newly merged firm will be forcibly delisted post-merger. Design/methodology/approach - The research uses a sample gathered on local US mergers and acquisitions from the Thomson Reuters Securities Data Company (SDC) Platinum Mergers and Acquisitions database. It applies the logistic regression with industry and year effects and corrects the error term using clustering at the industry level. The research also matches the forced delisted firms to control firms based on industry, acquisition completion year, and firm size and then employs a matched sample analysis. Findings - Findings show that M&As between firms where the target firm is opaque and burdened with high information asymmetry issues are likely to be paid for using majority stock and that M&As involving such opaque targets also have a higher likelihood of getting delisted post-merger. Research implications or Originality - Our results are relevant given the very nature of M&As which involve two players: the acquirer and target who both may have different incentives. Acquirers especially have the tendency to suffer losses and even get delisted if they over-pay for or get merged to a poor target which conceals its poor performance evidenced by higher accruals quality.
