Fama's (1984) volatility relations show that the risk premium in foreign exchange markets is more volatile than, and is negatively correlated with the expected rate of depreciation. This paper studies these relations from the perspective of goods markets frictions. Using a sticky-price general equilibrium model, we show that near-random walk behaviors of both exchange rates and consumption, in response to monetary shocks, can be derived endogenously. Based on this approach, the paper provides quantitative results on Fama's volatility relations.

The paper empirically examines the bank-specific determinants of loan growth in the Vietnamese banking system for the period from 2007 to 2019. We approach the CAMELS framework and employ the dynamic panel regression to determine the effects of each CAMELS factor on bank lending. To ensure the robustness of results, we also use alternative definitions of the variables and different specifications with and without full sets of CAMELS components. With these settings, we display multiple important results. (i) We find that a large capital buffer tends to boost bank lending expansion faster. (ii) High asset quality might positively contribute to high loan growth; in other words, banks subject to high credit risk are discouraged from making loans. (iii) Less efficiently managed banks are more likely to adopt an aggressive lending strategy, highlighting the moral hazard incentives of Vietnamese banks. (iv) More profitable banks with excellent competitive advantages could expand their lending activities to a larger extent. (v) Liquidity is positively related to the loan growth of banks. (vi) Perceived interest rate risk tends to suppress loan growth since interest-rate-sensitive banks might be concerned about the adverse effects of unpredictable adverse changes in interest rates in the future.

In today's uncertain economic environment, economic risk is inherent in making large investments on manufacturing facilities. It is, therefore, practically meaningful to divide investment over multiple periods, reducing the risk of investment. Then, the cash-flow over the entire planning horizon would comprise positive inflow and negative outflow. In this case, in general, evaluation by internal rate of return (IRR) is not feasible, because multiple IRRs are involved. This paper deals with a problem of evaluating profitability, as well as risk, of investment alternatives made in multiple times of investment over the entire horizon. Typically, an additional investment is required after the initial one, for expanding manufacturing capacity or other reasons. The paper pays attention to a unit cash-flow over two periods, decomposing the total cash-flow into a series of unit cash-flow patterns. It is easy to evaluate profitability of a unit cash-flow by using IRR. The total cash-flow can be decomposed into the series of two types of unit cash-flows: an investment type one (negative-positive) and the borrowing type one (positive-negative). This paper, therefore, proposes a method in which only the borrowing type unit cash-flow is eliminated in the series by converting total cash-flow using capital interest rate. Then, a unique IRR can be obtained and the profitability is evaluated. Thus, the paper extends the method of IRR so that it may help decision making in complicated cash-flow pattern observed in practice.

본 연구는 통화정책 전달경로 중 은행자본경로와 위험추구경로가 국내은행에도 작동하는지에 대해 실증분석하였다. 이를 위해 확장적 통화정책이 은행의 예대금리차, BIS비율, 위험가중자산비율 및 대출 등에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실증분석은 기존 연구에서 통화정책 영향분석에 많이 사용된 Uhlig (2005)의 부호제약 SVAR(Structural VAR) 모형을 토대로 실시하였다. 본 연구는 실증분석을 통해 국내외 기존 연구 결과와 유사하게 국내은행에서도 은행자본경로 및 위험추구경로가 작동하는 것을 확인하였다. 확장적 통화충격에 대해 국내은행의 예대금리차는 확대되었으며, 자기자본비율은 개선되었고, 이후 총대출이 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 은행자본경로가 작동함을 의미한다. 또한, 실질콜금리에 대한 확장적 통화충격에 대해 위험가중자산비율이 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 위험추구경로가 작동함을 의미한다. 본 연구의 시사점은 다음과 같다. 확장적 통화정책 지속 시 은행자본경로 작동으로 단기적으로 은행 건전성과 수익성이 개선되는 효과도 있으나, 위험추구경로 작동으로 중장기적으로 은행의 위험추구(risk-taking) 행위가 심화되어 은행의 실질적 건전성에 악영향을 줄 수 있다. 이에 따라 금융당국은 확장적 통화정책 지속 시 편중리스크 발생 및 시스템리스크 증가 등에 대한 선제적인 모니터링 및 감독을 강화할 필요가 있다.

We consider counterparty risk in CDS rates. To do so, we use a multivariate jump diffusion process for obligors' default intensity, where jumps (i.e. magnitude of contribution of primary events to default intensities) occur simultaneously and their sizes are dependent. For these simultaneous jumps and their sizes, a homogeneous Poisson process. We apply copula-dependent default intensities of multivariate Cox process to derive the joint Laplace transform that provides us with joint survival/default probability and other relevant joint probabilities. For that purpose, the piecewise deterministic Markov process (PDMP) theory developed in [7] and the martingale methodology in [6] are used. We compute survival/default probability using three copulas, which are Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM), Gaussian and Student-t copulas, with exponential marginal distributions. We then apply the results to calculate CDS rates assuming deterministic rate of interest and recovery rate. We also conduct sensitivity analysis for the CDS rates by changing the relevant parameters and provide their figures.

Applying Ismailov and Rossi (2018), I newly construct the Korea FX uncertainty based on the density distribution of historical forecast errors. This uncertainty index properly captures the rare but significant events in the Korean currency market and provides information distinct from other uncertainty measures in recent studies. I show that 1) FX uncertainty arising from unexpected depreciation has a stronger impact on Korea-U.S. exchange rates and that 2) macro variables, such as capital flows or interest rate differentials, have predictive ability regarding Korea FX uncertainty for short horizons. These findings enable us to predict the events of sudden currency crashes and understand the Korea-U.S. exchange rate dynamics.

We examine a mortgage bank's incentive distortion problem when the bank sells its existing loan through MBS(Mortgage-Backed Security), considering the mortgage market structure and varying investors' risk attitude. Main findings in our comparative statics are the followings. The bank's monitoring incentive on the loan sold is distorted downwards when the deposit interest rate is lower than the coupon rate of MBS. Credit enhancement associated with the loan sale may mitigate the incentive distortion problem. However, the downward distortion of monitoring incentive does not disappear unless the credit enhancement, a loan guarantee, is provided up to 100%. Finally as the investors' risk preference changes from risk-neutral to risk-averse type, the incentive distortion problem becomes more severe. At the end, we recommend the introduction of covered bond in order to mitigate the incentive distortion problem, which is inevitable to current pass-through MBS.

본 연구의 목적은 금리추세가 국내생명보험회사들의 자산운용 실태에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 문제점을 도출하고, 자산운용전략에 대한 방향성을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구방법은 2000년~2014년 동안에 국내 생명보험회사들의 자산현황 및 운용자산 내역, 자산배분실태, 유가증권 내역을 시계열 분석하였고, 총자산 및 자산별 수익률을 분석하였으며, 금리 주가와 운용수익률 간의 상관관계와 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과는 안전자산인 국공채의 비중은 증가한 반면에 위험자산인 주식의 비중은 감소하여 수익성 보다 안정성 위주로 자산운용을 하고 있었다. 금리와 총자산수익률, 운용자산수익률, 유가증권수익률 간에 높은 양(+)의 상관계수가 산출되었으며, 금리와의 상관관계에서 총자산수익률 보다는 운용자산수익률의 상관관계가 높았고, 운용자산수익률 보다는 유가증권수익률의 상관관계가 더 높았다. KOSPI 주가지수와 운용수익률 간에는 상관계수가 음(-)으로 나타났다. 시사점은 안정성 위주의 자산운용으로 금리하락이 역마진 리스크를 높이고 있어서 자산운용의 변화가 필요하다는 것이다.

본 연구는 어떠한 경제요인이 분산프리미엄의 동역학과 관련되어 있는지 확인하고, 분산 프리미엄의 예측력과 관계된 경제지표를 검증하였다. 국내외 선행연구 등에서 주가/경기를 예측하는 정보력을 보유한다고 알려진, 11개의 일반경기변수, 8개의 금리연관변수, 3개의 금융시장변수, 11개의 투자자 심리 및 활동변수를 이용하여 단변량/다변량 회귀분석을 통해 분산프리미엄과 유의한 관련을 가지는 변수를 추출하였다. 그 결과 분산프리미엄의 변동성을 설명하는 변수는 원달러환율, 외환보유액, 역사적/내재 변동성, 그리고 금리변수들로 한정되었으며, 이 변수들의 분산프리미엄에 대한 수정결정계수는 65% 이상으로 높은 설명력을 보여주었다. 다음으로 분산프리미엄에 유의한 설명력을 가진 변수들을 이용해 1~6개월의 미래 주식수익률 및 변동성 변화를 예측함으로써 어떠한 변수의 정보력이 분산 프리미엄의 예측력과 관련되어 있는지 검증하였다. 예측분석을 수행한 결과, 분산프리미엄의 동역학과 관련된 변수들 중, 원달러환율만이 수익률/변동성에 대한 공통적으로 유의한 예측력을 보유하고 있었다. 이러한 결과는 분산프리미엄이 글로벌 위험요인과 관련되어 있다는 선행연구의 결과와 일관되며(Londono, 2012; Bollerslev et al., 2014), 분산프리미엄의 예측력이 대외변수에 대한 경제의 민감도와 관련이 있다고 해석할 수 있다.

Purpose - Since COVID-19, the government's expansion of liquidity to stimulate the economy has resulted in an increase in private debt and an increase in asset prices of such as real estate and stocks. The recent sharp rise of the US Federal fund rate and tapering by the Fed have led to a fast rise in domestic interest rates, putting a heavy burden on the Korean economy, where the level of household debt is very high. Excessive household debt might have negative effects on the economy, such as shrinking consumption, economic recession, and deepening economic inequality. Therefore, now more than ever, it is necessary to identify the causes of the increase in household debt. Design/methodology/approach - Main methodology is regression analysis. Dependent variable is household loans from depository institutions. Independent variables are consumer price index, unemployment rate, household loan interest rate, housing sales price index, and composite stock price index. The sample periods are from 2017 to May 2022, comprising 72 months of data. The comparative analysis period before and after COVID-19 is from January 2017 to December 2019 for the pre-COVID-19 period, and from Jan 2020 to December 2022 for the post-COVID-19 period. Findings - Looking at the results of the regression analysis for the entire period, it was found that increases in the consumer price index, unemployment rate, and household loan interest rates decrease household loans, while increases in the housing sales price index increase household loans. Research implications or Originality - Household loans of depository institutions are mainly made up of high-credit and high-income borrowers with good repayment ability, so the risk of the financial system is low. As household loans are closely linked to the real estate market, the risk of household loan defaults may increase if real estate prices fall sharply.
