Purpose - This paper empirically investigates what factors contribute to corporate investments under financial constraint condition in the Korean stock market. In the paper, tangible assets' growth rate and fixed assets' growth rate were employed as investment performance and total assets were also used for comparison purpose. Research design and methodology - Samples are constructed by manufacturing firms listed on the stock market of Korea as well as those who settle accounts in December from 2001 to 2018. Financial institutions are excluded from the sample as their accounting procedures, governance and regulations differ. This study adopted a fixed panel regression model to assess the sample construction including yearly and cross-sectional data. Results - This results support the literatures that major shareholders showed positive significance to investment in financially unconstrained firms and no significance to investment in financially constrained firms. ROA showed positive significance to investment in financially unconstrained and constrained firms, whereas firm size showed negative significance to investment in financially unconstrained and constrained firms. Debt showed no positive significance to investment in financially unconstrained firms and negative significance to investment in financially constrained firms. Conclusions - This paper documented evidence that ROA and firm size are important factors to investment irrespective of firms' financial constraints. And this paper also supports that major shareholders give positive impact to investments in financially unconstrained firms. This means that financial constraints itself rule corporate' investment decision in financially constrained firms.

In capital budgeting practices, investment project evaluations based on the net present value (NPV) and the internal rate of return (IRR) represent the traditional evaluation techniques. Compared with the traditional methods, the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) gives the opportunity to evaluate an investment in certain projet, while taking the changes in cash flows over time and issuing shares such as dividing shares, bonuses, and dividend for each end of the investment year into account. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate an investment in the Malaysian construction sector utilizing financial data for 39 public listed companies operating in the Malaysian construction sector over the period from Jan 1, 2007, to December 30, 2018, based on the MIRR method. Stochastic was studied in this study to estimate the estimated probability by applying the Markov chain model to the MIRR method where the transition matrix has two possible movements of either Good (G) or Bad (B). it is found that the long-run probability of getting a good investment is higher than the probability of getting a bad investment in the long-run, where were the probabilities of good and bad are 0.5119, 0.4881, respectively. Hence, investment in the Malaysian construction sector is recommended.

This paper analyzes factors affecting corporate investment decisions in economic groups listed on the Vietnam stock market. The panel data of the research sample includes 39 economic groups listed on the Vietnam stock market from 2009 to 2019. The Generalized Least Square (GLS) is employed to address econometric issues and to improve the accuracy of the regression coefficients. In this research, the investment rate is a dependent variable. Cash-flow (CF), Investment opportunities (ROA), Fixed capital intensity (FCI), Leverage (LEV), Sales growth (GR), Size (SZ), Business risk (RISK) are independent variables in the study. The model results show that cash flow and sales growth have the same impact on investment decisions of economic groups in Vietnam. In addition, investment opportunities have a negative impact on the capital investment decisions of economic groups. The remaining factors include fixed capital intensity, leverage, firm size, and business risks that have a weak and insignificant impact on capital investment decisions of economic groups in Vietnam. The findings of this article are useful for business administrators, and helping business managers make the right financial decisions. Besides, the research results are also meaningful to money management agencies. The authors recommend that the State Bank of Vietnam should maintain a sustainable monetary policy.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the difference in gender of top executives and corporate investment. In addition, this study also extends to how the sensitivity of investment to cash flow varies with the gender of leaders. Finally, the effect of the gender of leaders on firm investment is also tested across firm types (state firms vs. private firms and high-growth firms vs. low-growth firms). Based on the dataset of Vietnamese listed firms over 2007-2017, the fixed-effect model is used to test the hypotheses. The results show that women as chairs of the board tend to lower corporate investment, whereas the gender of CEOs (Chief Executive Officers) does not influence the investment level. Moreover, top female executives are associated with a decrease in the sensitivity of investment to cash flow. These regression results also show that top female executives only have an impact on the rate of investment in private and low-growth firms. The findings of this study are useful for the board of directors in selecting a chairperson in line with the firm's strategies. Furthermore, the findings of this study are also meaningful for policymakers who should monitor the separate role of the CEO and chair of the board in a company.

R&D 투자는 투입 시점과 산출 시점 사이에 시차(time lag)가 존재한다. 따라서 기업의 R&D 투자와 성과와의 관계를 분석할 때 R&D 투입의 시차효과를 정확히 반영하지 않을 경우 분석에 심각한 오류가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 본 연구는 기업 R&D 투자의 시차 효과의 추정을 목적으로 한다. 시차분포모형의 하나인 Almon 모형을 사용하여 기업의 R&D 투자의 투입 시점과 산출 시점 사이의 시차를 측정하였다. 이를 위해 2002년부터 2009년까지의 기업 패널 데이터를 구축하였다. R&D 투자는 기업의 R&D 투자 금액으로, R&D 성과는 특허 출원 건수로 정의하여 분석을 실시하였고 '투자-산출' 프로세스에 소요되는 시차의 길이를 추정하였다. 분석 결과 전체 기술 영역에서 R&D 투자와 특허 출원 사이의 시차는 1~2년으로 분석되었다. 화학, 금속 및 금속 가공, 전기 및 전자, 정밀 과학, 기계 제조의 다섯 개 산업군에 대해 각각 시차의 길이를 추정하였으며 산업군별로 추정된 시차의 길이에 차이가 존재하였다.

We focus on the issues of the non-linear return/risk relationship of IT investment and the balance between return and risk of IT portfolio. We develop an IT project selection model by integrating DEA models with Markowitz portfolio selection theory. The project data collected from a Fortune 100 company are used to illustrate the implementation of the model. In addition, computational experiments are conducted to demonstrate the validity of the proposed model.

The study investigated if IT investment in Korean financial markets for the past 18 years has grown following the s-curve pattern based on Nolan's growth model in order to find the correlation between IT investment and management performance in the financial industry. According to the research finding it can be said that the overall financial markets maintain s-curve pattern, and IT investment is related to management performance, particularly increase in total assets and net profit. However, each sector has defining features of growth patterns. The banking industry has grown similarly to the s-curve, and the insurance industry also shows the s-curve but it looks more like linear pattern. In terms of securities industry, its growth patterns can hardly be considered s-curve due to the irregular changes. his research outcome illustrates the analysis of IT growth patterns in the financial industry and thus, it is expected to be a useful reference when deciding the appropriate time for IT investment in the financial industry.

베트남은 풍부한 노동력과 성장 잠재력으로 한국 기업들의 투자대상국으로 관심이 높으며, 2011년 9월 현재 약 239억 달러를 투자하고 있어 최대 투자국으로 부상하고 있다. 또한 한국의 대 베트남 투자 패턴도 노동집약적 산업형태에서 고부가가치 형태로 전환하고 있다. 본 연구는 베트남의 직접투자에 따른 경쟁력 결정요인에 따른 투자성과를 분석하여 한국 투자기업의 경쟁력을 확보하는데 있다. 특히, 베트남 투자기업의 대내적인 요인인 기업규모, 마케팅기술, 재무관리, 국제경험, 조직관리 등과 현지 베트남 시장요인인 현지시장규모와 시장환경 등의 요인이 베트남 투자성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는가를 분석한다. 본 연구결과를 보면 "투자기업의 규모", "투자기업의 국제경험", "투자기업의 마케팅 기술", "현지국의 시장규모", 그리고 "현지국의 시장환경"이 한국기업의 투자성과에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치고 있다. 그러나 "투자기업의 조직관리"와 "투자기업의 재무관리"는 베트남 투자성과에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않아, 가설이 기각되었다. 투자성과에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다고 해서 투자기업의 결정요인으로 중요하지 않은 요인은 아니라는 것이다. 그렇기 때문에 한국기업은 베트남에 지속적으로 투자를 하고 있다.

In this paper, we stochastically analyze the continuous time surplus process in a risk model which involves a continuous type investment. It is assumed that the investment of the surplus to other business is continuously made at a constant rate, while the surplus process stays over a given sufficient level. We obtain the stationary distribution of the surplus level and/or its moment generating function by forming martingales from the surplus process and applying the optional sampling theorem to the martingales and/or by establishing and solving an integro-differential equation for the distribution function of the surplus level.
