This article describes a methodology for evaluating huge aerospace R&D investments using the real options pricing method. Option pricing has been proposed as a useful approach for modeling investment in R&D. Two important features of R&D investments are that an R&D project takes time to complete and that the outcome of R&D investments is highly uncertain. This makes the analysis of R&D investments difficult. Traditional tools for project evaluation, like IRR or the NPV, are inadequate for coping with the high uncertainty. Hence, In this article I propose a log-transformed binomal lattice method, and it will show that option pricing might be an adequate framework for evaluating such types of aerospace investments.

본 연구에서는 1998년부터 2008년까지 우리나라 거래소에 상장되어 있는 기업들을 대상으로 기업의 내적인 투자기회, 외부금융의존도 및 타인자본비용이 기업의 자본투자의사결정에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 기업의 투자의사결정은 거시적인 경제정책에서도 영향을 받지만 기업 자체가 처한 상황인 영업경쟁력, 자본시장 이용조건, 자본비용 등의 요인에 의해서도 영향을 받다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구에서 초점이 되었던 법인세율이 기업의 자본투자에 미치는 영향을 통제한 상태에서 기업의 투자결정요인을 기업적 측면에서 분석하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기업의 투자기회는 자본투자에 양(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 기업의 영업 경쟁력인 투자기회가 많을수록 기업의 투자는 촉진되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이러한 영향은 외부금융의존도가 높을수록 약화되며, 투자기회가 자본투자에 미치는 영향이 타인자본비용이 높을수록 약화되는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 기업의 외부금융의존도와 자본투자는 양(+)의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타나 외부금융의존도가 높은 기업의 경영자들이 자본투자에 적극적임을 암시한다. 그러나 타인자본비용이 높아질수록 투자기회가 자본투자에 미치는 영향의 정도는 낮아져 투자기회가 많다고 할지라도 타인자본비용이 높은 경우에는 자본투자에 저해요소가 됨을 암시한다. 셋째, 기업의 타인자본비용이 높을수록 자본투자는 낮아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 유가증권 시장 표본의 경우 투자기회가 자본투자에 미치는 영향은 타인자본비용이 높을수록 작아지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 기업의 내적인 요소가 자본투자에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다는 점에서 의의가 있으며, 향후에는 자본투자에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요인들을 밝혀내려는 시도가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

본 연구는 기업벤처캐피탈 투자와 투자기업의 혁신 성과 간의 연관성과 기업의 ESG 리스크가 미치는 영향에 대해 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 조직 학습 이론을 바탕으로 기업벤처캐피탈 투자를 통해 기업이 벤처로부터 학습 기회를 얻고 궁극적으로 혁신 성과를 증가시킬 수 있다는 내용을 제시하였다. 또한 기업이 ESG 요인들 중에서도 이해관계자들과의 관계에 해당되는 사회적 리스크를 효과적으로 관리하는 능력이 기업벤처캐피탈 투자를 통한 혁신 성과에 영향을 미칠 것이라 예상하였다. 가설의 실증분석을 위해 1993년부터 2018년까지 미국 하이테크 기업들을 대상으로 기업벤처캐피탈 투자 데이터와 특허 출원 데이터 및 ESG 리스크 점수를 이용한 패널 데이터 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과, 기업이 기업벤처캐피탈을 통해 더 많은 벤처에 투자할수록 혁신 성과가 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 기업의 사회적 리스크가 증가할수록 기업벤처캐피탈을 통한 혁신 성과가 약화되는 것이 확인되었다. 본 연구는 기업벤처캐피탈을 학습과 혁신의 수단으로 보는 관점의 기존 연구에 다음과 같이 기여하였다. 기업벤처캐피탈의 투자규모 보다도 벤처와 맺는 관계 자체가 갖는 의미에 주목하여, 더 많은 관계를 형성하는 것이 투자기업의 단기적 혁신 성과와 직결된다는 내용을 실증적으로 조사하였다. 또한 기업 활동에서 ESG 요인의 역할이 부각되고 있는 최근의 사회적 흐름에 부합하여, 기존에 투자기업과 벤처의 관계에 집중되어 있던 기업벤처캐피탈 연구의 논의를 기업을 둘러싼 이해관계자들의 역할까지 확장시켰다는 데에 의의가 있다.

This paper investigates the effects of various R&D investments on economic growth empirically. To this end, the relationships between various R&D investments and economic growth are analysed, and the rates of return of R&D investments are estimated. Furthermore, the effect of government R&D investment on private sector R&D investment, and the effect of social factors, which affect the relationship between the R&D inputs and economic growth, are analysed. Based on the results of this analysis, a simulation model is developed, which shows the relationship between R&D investments and economic growth rate; this model is verified by analysing the correlation between the actual and the estimated economic growth rate, using the data between 1981 and 1995 of eight selected countries. The validation results show that the simulation model has sufficient accuracy to be used for evaluating and proposing R&D policies for the countries for which appropriate data is available. However, the time-lag effect, which is naturally believed to exist between the R&D input and the economic growth, could not be analysed in a mathematical form, because of the lack of the data to establish this relationship. Thus, when estimating the relationship between them, the time-lag effect in this relationship was included implicitly by using the data of fifteen years.

Purpose: Although foreign capital flows have played a vital role in fostering the economic growth in recipient countries, there are some concerns about the adverse impact of international capital flows on the banking stability. Hence, the study revisits this issue to explore the relationship between the different types of foreign investments and banking stability in ASEAN region. Research design, data and methodology: Based on the bank-level data of 96 commercial banks and country-level in six ASEAN countries from 2008 to 2019, we perform the multivariate regression analysis and provide a variety of robustness tests. Results: Our empirical evidence shows the volatility of foreign portfolio investments has significantly negative effect on the banking stability, besides that of foreign other investments has the similar influence but the result is relatively less pronounced in some robustness tests. Additionally, increasing trade cooperation and international distribution may lead countries to face higher risk of banking instability driven from these international investments. Meanwhile, the impact of foreign direct investments is positive, but the evidence is the least obvious. Conclusions: Our findings suggest policy-makers in ASEAN and emerging nations as a whole should carefully consider when building policies-related to mitigate the adverse impact of foreign capital flows.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly diffused across industries and societies as nations' essential strategic technology. In innovative technology, such as AI, a startup leads to technological innovation and significantly impacts the expansion of relevant industries. Thus, this study examined the trend of AI startup venture capital (VC) investments globally, focusing on ① noteworthy VC investment statuses (the number and size of the investment, company establishment, and corporate collection), ② the characteristics of each key nation's investments, and ③ the characteristics of each submarket's investments. Among the 11 countries, the results showed that Korea ranked near the bottom for absolute quantitative measures, including the number and size of investments, company establishment, and corporate collection. However, Korea has built a foundation of catching up with what AI-leading countries have established, considering Korea's high growth rate in the number and size of investments and a recent mega-round. This study has practical implications in that it determined the AI startup VC investment status of Korea's rival countries, not only G2 (US and China). The results can be used in policy-making. Furthermore, identifying the AI industry's submarkets and analyzing each market's VC investment status could be used to establish strategies for the AI industry and R&D.

This paper examines the effects of intellectual property protection policies on upstream firms' R&D investments in order to derive policy implications in relation to the fostering of the intermediate goods industry. To that end, the dependence on import of intermediate goods and the degree of protection of intellectual property rights are introduced into the model to analyze the effects of R&D investments on the dependence on imports and the effects of intellectual property rights protection policies on the level of R&D investments in order and the social welfare effects are also checked. The policy implications derived in this paper, which used an oligopolistic market model with a vertical specialization structure, are as follows. As R&D investments expand, upstream firm begins to have price competitiveness, the dependence on import of intermediate goods by downstream firm decreases, and social welfare increases. That is, in order to strengthen the independence of the intermediate goods industry, R&D investments by upstream firm should be expanded, and to promote this, the government should strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights.

Purpose - In this study, we examine the factors related to the asset allocation decisions of individual investors who 1) directly invest in stocks or bonds, 2) indirectly invest in various fund products (excluding CMA and MMF), and 3) invest in both products. Design/methodology/approach - We collect a sample of 3,000 individual investors and investigate the factors influencing investment behavior, especially the diversification tendency in asset allocation, with the "Investor Behavior Survey" that is conducted jointly by the Korea Financial Investment Association and the Korea Gallup Research Institute in 2011 and 2012. Findings - Our regression analyses estimate the marginal effects of various factors such as the amount of total financial assets, monthly income, occupation, age, and gender. The results reveal that male investors with manual labor occupations were less inclined to diversify their investments compared to female investors in office jobs. Additionally, higher monthly income is associated with a greater inclination toward diversification. Therefore, if a positive relationship exists between income and educational level, we may suggest that higher educational levels lead to a greater tendency for diversification. Research implications or Originality - Interestingly, investors who engage in direct investments tend to exhibit a weaker diversification tendency as the amount of their direct investment increases. On the other hand, investors who engage in both direct and indirect investments show a weaker diversification tendency as the amount of total financial assets increases. This suggests that the investment style of investors is closely related to their diversification behavior.

This study analyzes various factors affecting a firm's investments, focusing on both a firm's ownership structure and CEO's incentives. While previous empirical works focus on various financial data in order to test the Schumpeterian Hypotheses, this paper is using various ownership structure data as well as financial data. Empirical results show that the greater a firm's CEO has the company's own stock, the less he spends in R&D investments. The main empirical results of this study is in line with past empirical studies on various markets outside of Korea.

We collected national newspaper articles on the largest Chinese investment project in Malaysia, Forest City, and examined media sentiment polarity using alternative automated sentiment analysis tools. We further checked the robustness of these results using content analysis, and consistently found that sentiment polarity for mainstream news is more volatile than independent online journalism. We also found that the sentiment polarity of Malaysian mainstream media towards Chinese investments is aligned with government interactions between the two countries. This suggests that the sentiment of Malaysian mainstream media towards Chinese investments complies with local government attitudes, while independent online media are less constrained by government control. In light of this, foreign investors looking to more effectively estimate risks should monitor both independent and mainstream media to calculate the sentiment of the host country towards their foreign direct investment projects.
