Purpose - This study investigates the effects of foreign investor ownership on firm innovation and the different stages of the firm innovation process for business group affiliation (affiliated firms) and nonaffiliated firms. Design/methodology - Research and development (R&D) intensity is used as a proxy for firm innovation. We use a sample of 7,655 firm-year observations of Korean listed firms from 2001 to 2015. To identify the distinct features of business group affiliation and how foreign investor ownership affects firm innovation, we divide the sample into affiliated and non-affiliated firms. Moreover, we classify total R&D expenditures as research and development expenditures. Findings - This study finds a positive relationship between foreign investor ownership and innovation in non-affiliated firms. However, the foreign investor ownership's role in facilitating firm innovation does not influence business group affiliation. Moreover, the results show that foreign investor ownership encourages firms to increase research expenditures, which is the amount spent in the early stages of a firm's R&D process. Originality/value - Existing studies have overlooked the distinct features of business group affiliation and the different characteristics of research and development expenditures. Thus, this study considers the distinct features of business group affiliation and investigates how foreign investor ownership affects different stages of R&D activities.

국제 투자개발사업 시장의 확대와 국내 내수 시장 축소로 해외투자개발사업에 대한 국내 건설기업의 관심이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 개발 단계를 거치며 많은 사업들이 사업 승인 또는 입찰에 도달하지 못하고 사업 개발에 실패하였다. 본 연구에서는 사업개발 실패를 야기하는 여러 가지 이유 중 사업참여자의 리스크 태도 차이로 인한 문제에 집중하였다. 건설투자자와 금융투자자의 리스크 태도를 분석하기 위하여 건설투자자 21인과 금융투자자 21인을 통해 동일한 리스크 상황에 대한 리스크 크기를 조사하였다. 81개 리스크 상황 중 58개에서 건설투자자가 금융투자자보다 동일한 리스크 상황에 대해 리스크 크기를 낮게 평가하여 risk-seeking 태도를 보였다. 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보인 9개의 리스크 요인에 대해서도 금융투자자가 건설투자자보다 리스크 상황의 심각성을 높게 평가하여 risk-averse 태도를 보였다. 본 연구 결과로 건설투자자와 금융투자자간 상호 리스크 태도 차이의 이해를 통해 투자개발사업의 성공적인 개발에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

이 논문은 시장에 두 종류의 투자자가 존재하고 이들의 정보 분석 능력과 정보 획득 시점이 서로 다르다면 시장에서 가격이 어떻게 형성되고 변화하는 가를 연구하려고 한다. 시장에는 대규모 자금을 관리하면서 전문적으로 정보를 분석하고 투자하는 기관투자자와 소규모 자금을 투자하는 개인투자자가 있다. 기관투자자들이 개인투자자에 비하여 정보 분석 능력이 뛰어나고 정보 획득시점도 빠르다고 가정한다. 위 가정으로부터 이 논문은 시장에서 주식 가격이 단기에서는 가격지속현상을 보이고 장기에서는 가격역전현상을 보이는 것을 설명할 수 있다. 단기에서 가격지속 현상이 나타나는 것은 개인투자자에 비하여 정보를 먼저 획득한 기관투자자들이 주식을 거래하여 이미 가격이 변화하였는데 뒤늦게 정보를 획득한 개인투자자들이 계속하여 거래함으로써 가격이 단기적으로 같은 방향으로 움직이게 된다. 장기적인 가격역전 현상은 기업의 가치에 대하여 정확한 정보를 가지고 있지 못한 개인투자자들이 새로운 정보에 대하여 지나치게 민감하게 반응하여 주식가격이 기업의 내재가치 이상으로 변화하게 되고 시간이 지남에 따라 주식 가격이 기업의 내재가치로 회귀하기 때문에 나타난다. 단기적인 가격지속과 장기적인 가격역전 현상이 나타나는 주된 원인이 새로운 정보에 대한 개인투자자의 지연반응과 정보부족에 있기 때문에 이 논문은 개인투자자의 비율은 높은 주식일수록 이러한 현상이 더 크게 나타남을 보였다. 기관투자자들이 주식을 매입하면 다음 시점의 가격은 상승하고 이들이 주식을 매도하면 다음 시점의 가격은 하락한다. 반대로 개인투자자들이 주식을 매입하면 다음 시점의 가격은 하락하고 이들이 주식을 매도하면 다음 시점의 가격은 상승하게 된다.

This study is an analysis of the stock trading value in terms of investor types in the Korean stock market for recent 12 years. We examined the characteristics in stock trading value variation according to each investor type and the interactive relationship in the trading value between types of investors. The results show that the trading value scale of every investor type increases overall while the proportion of the trading value by each investor type in the market exhibits variation. In addition, a statistically significant interactive relationship in the trading value between types of investors exists: the correlations are formed differently before and after events which largely influence the stock market.

This study investigates whether foreign investors' behavior is involved in firm-specific investor sentiment. Because the mixed role of foreign investors on investor sentiment formation seems to exist in the Korean stock market, it needs to examine the moderate or incremental effect of foreign investors on the stock price crash risk which is due to investor sentiment. The analysis results using Korea Stock Exchanges - listed firms for the period of 2011-2019 show the increased future stock price crash risk which is attributable to high investor sentiment is mitigated for firms with the high foreign ownership, indicating the moderate effect. This study expands the literature on the foreign investors' behavior in the Korean stock market, by showing foreign investors are not involved in firm-specific investor sentiment, which improves market's efficiency in the Korean stock market. Also, the paper is valuable to the academic and practice field in that the findings shed light on the foreign investors' mitigating role in stock price crashes in the behavioral finance perspective.

The most basic forces of stock market are supply and demand, which increases or decreases on the basis of information. The crucial point is that investor's perception is depending on the availability of information at a particular time. But it is very difficult to understand what they take from a piece of information, and the decision varies from person to person; hence, it is important to understand the behavior of investors in the stock market. In this context, this study is focusing on behavioral investor-type diagnosis testing among financial market players (FMPs) in Oman. The study conducted a review of behavioral types among stock market investors, and attempted to assess the influence of age and gender factors on investor bias. It classifies investor type biases according to the gender and age of respondents. This study employs primary data with a structured questionnaire distributed to an equal number of male and female stock market investors in Muscat Securities Market. The study used sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, CATPCA and ALSCAL to identify the significant difference among age, gender and experience of the respondents. The present study found that all of the investors are influenced by different cognitive biases and, moreover, it depends on investor's gender.

Purpose: This study aims to explore an ability to time market-wide investor sentiment of mutual fund managers in an emerging market. Research design, data, and methodology: Based on data of Thai mutual fund market over the period of 2000-2019, our sample includes 283 equity funds, consisting of 204 bank-related funds and 79 nonbank-related funds. We perform our regression analyses at the aggregate and portfolio levels. Results: Under the non-normal distribution of return, we find different behaviors between the best- and worst-performing funds in an ability to time market-wide investor sentiment in Thailand, which is dissimilar to the findings in the U.S. Bottom fund managers act as sentiment hedgers, who decrease (increase) an exposure of investment portfolios when the investor sentiment is high (low). Oppositely, top fund managers are likely to chase investor sentiment. Conclusion: We find that only the worst-performing fund managers, especially for bank-related funds are able to time the market-wide investor sentiment. An advantage of gaining information from their bank's clients is a key success. A competition in the mutual fund industry, an ability to predict fundamentals, and financial literacy are possible reasons to explain the main findings found in this study.

In determining the content of the FET standard, the tribunals stated protection of investor's legitimate expectations, due process and denial of justice, transparency, discrimination and arbitrariness, good faith, etc. The most major elements of the FET standard is the protection of the investor's legitimate and reasonable expectations. It is necessary to consider whether it is possible to what the expectations of investors are protected as legitimate and it is formed under any circumstances. If host state frustrate investor's legitimate expectations, it found a breach of the FET. The host state's specific assurance may reinforce investor's expectations, but such explicit statement is not always necessary. The host state must preserve a stable environment for investments. However, It must not be understood as the inalterability of the host state's legal framework. It implies that the host state's subsequent changes should be made consistently and predictably. The host state is entitled to exercise a reasonable regulatory authority to respond to changing circumstances in the public purpose. Therefore, whether the violation FET shall be determined through a balanced against the investor's legitimate expectations and the host state's reasonable regulatory exercise in the public interest. And investor should keep in mind that the principle of proportionality is applied unless host state provides stabilization clause or similar commitments to investor. Also host state should establish the basis of an argument about reasonable regulatory authority for public interest.

Investor-State Dispute Settlement(ISDS) grants a foreign investor the right to access an international arbitrator, if he believes actions taken by a host government are in breach of commitments made in an investment agreement or an investment treaty. The arbitration procedure of ICSID is made specifically to resolve investment disputes, so most of investment disputes have been settled in accordance with the procedure. Owing to limitation of dispute settlements through the ICSID arbitration procedure, several investment dispute conciliation schemes have been emerged as alternatives. In the case of a conciliation, the conciliation procedure will be in progress based on arbitrary agreement between parties, and if both parties agree on a conciliation program, then the arbitrary execution rate is relatively higher than that of arbitration procedures. In addition, it is evaluated that the time duration of conducting a conciliation procedure is in general rather short in 8 to 24months, and its incumbent cost is also rather inexpensive. Most of all, through amicable settlement of a dispute between a foreign investor and a host state, the foreign investor may continue his investment activities without a hitch, while the host state may invite more investment without any risk of losing its external credibility. In conclusion, it is desirable to lead any investment dispute between a foreign investor and a host state settle in accordance with the dispute settlement procedure as specified in the relevant investment agreement. In addition, to make the foreign investor continue his investment activities, it will be necessary to provide a separate investment dispute conciliation system aside from such arbitration procedures to cope any unexpected incident flexibly.
