The paper aims to test long-term and short-term causality from four exchange rates, the Korean won/$US, the Korean won/Euro, the Korean won/Japanese yen, and the Korean won/Chinese yuan, to the Korea Composite Stock Price Index in the presence of several macroeconomic variables using monthly data from January 1986 to June 2018. The results of Johansen cointegration tests show that there exists at least one cointegrating equation, which indicates that long-run causality from an exchange rate to the Korean stock market will exist. The results of vector error correction estimates show that: for long-term causality, the coefficient of the error correction term is significant with a negative sign, that is, long-term causality from exchange rates to the Korean stock market is observed. For short-term causality, the coefficient of the Japanese yen exchange rate is significant with a positive sign, that is, short-term causality from the Japanese yen exchange rate to the Korean stock market is observed. The coefficient of the financial crises i.e. 1997-1999 Asian financial crisis and 2007-2008 global financial crisis on the endogenous variables in the model and the Korean economy is significant. The result indicates that the financial crises have considerably affected the Korean economy, especially a negative effect on money supply.

This paper empirically examines the short-run and long-run causal relationship between stock market prices and exchange rates in Chinese stock markets using monthly data from January 2002 to December 2012 retrieved from the National Bureau of Statistics of the People's Republic of China. Unit root, cointegration tests, vector error correction estimates, block exogeneity Wald tests, impulse responses, variance decomposition techniques and structural break tests are employed. This study found 1) long-run causality from exchange rates to stock prices in Chinese stock markets and 2) short-run causality from Japanese yen and Korean won exchange rates to stock prices in the Shanghai Stock Exchange strongly prevails while in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange weakly prevails. The impact of the global financial crisis from 2007 to 2009 on Chinese stock markets was insignificant.

The key objective of this study is to investigate the return and volatility spillover effects among stock market, credit default swap (CDS) market and foreign exchange market for three countries: Korea, the US and Japan. Using the trivariate VAR BEKK GARCH (1,1) model, the study finds that there are significant return and volatility spillover effects between the Korean CDS market and the Korean stock market. In addition, the return spillover effects from foreign exchange markets and the US stock market to the Korean stock market, and the volatility spillover effect from the Japanese stock market to the Korean stock market are both significant.

본 논문에서는 2006년 초부터 2015년 말까지 우리나라의 산업별 주가지수와 주요화폐의 환율을 이용하여 환율과 환율 변동성이 주가에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 주가지수로는 코스피지수와 우리나라의 대표적 산업인 음식료품, 화학, 기계, 전기전자, 종이목재, 전기가스, 운수장비, 은행 주가지수가 사용되었으며 환율의 변화를 보기 위한 주요화폐로서는 미국달러, 일본 엔, 유로, 영국 파운드가 사용되었다. 환율변화에 따른 주가의 반응분석에서는 예상한 바와 같이 전자, 운수장비 산업 주가와 환율은 정(+)의 관계를 나타내었으며 음식료품, 종이목재, 전기가스, 은행 산업의 경우도 예상한 것과 같이 주가와 환율은 부(-)의 관계를 나타냈다. 수출의 비중이 많은 기계 산업은 예상과 달리 부(-)의 반응을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 화학 산업의 경우는 예상이 어려웠는데 분석결과 주가와 환율은 부(-)의 관계를 보여 주었다. 환율변동성에 대한 주가의 반응 분석에서는 종이목재 산업의 주가가 환율변동성에 부(-)의 반응을 나타냈다. 환율변동성에 대비한 위험관리 비용을 많이 지출하는 기업들이 종이목재산업에 속해 있는 것으로 보인다. 또한 은행산업의 주가도 환율변동성에 부(-)의 반응을 보였는데 이것은 선도환 등 외환 파생상품을 발행하여 수수료 수입이 증가하게 되는 은행산업의 주가는 환율변동성에 정(+)의 반응을 할 것이라는 예상과는 정반대의 결과였다.

This study examines the effect of financial reporting opacity and audit quality on stock price crash risk using listed firms in Japan. This study is the first research to examine the effect of financial reporting opacity on crash risk using a Japanese listed company. Furthermore, the effect of audit quality on crash risk is verified. High level auditors can mitigate crash risk by playing a role as a corporate governance device mechanism to reduce agency costs. We use a logistic regression and linear regression model to test whether financial reporting opacity and audit quality affect crash risk using listed firms in the Japanese stock exchange market during the fiscal years 2015 January through 2017 February. The results of this study suggest that the financial reporting opacity variable shows a positive relationship with CRASH, which states that a firm with more opaque financial reporting increases crash risk. The results suggest also that the firms audited by Big4 auditors experience less crash risk, implying that the audit quality in Japan can be one of the factors mitigating firm's crash risk. This study provides implications for financial reporting and audit quality to external stakeholders who wants to avoid losses.

After over a decade of sluggish economic growth accompanied by massive fiscal stimulus in the 1990s, it remains an open question whether and how Japanese firms have restructured their operations, and whether these efforts have borne any fruit. Using a randomly selected sample of 300 firms from the Tokyo Stock Exchange, we collect all restructuring announcement in the FY 2000-2001 (April 2000-March 2002) period. Our results are striking in that while we find that firms engaging in restructuring of various sorts display improved earnings in the period following the restructuring announcement, shareholders do not appear to benefit at the time of the restructuring announcements.

본 연구는 1995년 1월 04부터 2009년 8월 30일까지 일본의 주식시장과 외환시장의 일별자료를 이용하여 두 시장의 수익률, 변동성 및 상관관계를 분석하였다. 특히, 전체 분석대상 기간을 아시아 금융위기 이전시기, 아시아 금융위기 시기, 그 이후부터 서브프라임 사태에 의한 금융위기 발발이전 시기 그리고 서브프라임사태에 의한 금융위기시기로 각각 구분하여 비교분석하였으며, 실증모형은 이변량(Bivariate) GJR-GARCH(1,1)을 가정하여 추정하였다. 실증분석의 주요한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 각 시기별로 수익률의 평균방정식과 분산방정식의 추정결과가 상당히 다르게 나타났으며 둘째, 금융위기 시기에 주식시장의 시장비효율성이 증가하고 과거의 예측하지 못한 변동성 충격에 시장이 훨씬 민감하게 반응하며, 특히 나쁜 뉴스에 의한 변동성 충격에 훨씬 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 금융위기의 시기 중에서도 변동성 충격, 비대칭성 등의 측면에서 보면 아시아 금융위기 보다는 최근에 발생한 전 세계적 금융위기의 기간에 보다 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 넷째, 전체적으로 두시장의 상관관계는 대체로 정의 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 이는 일본경제가 상대적으로 금융투자처로서의 매력보다는 일본 경제 전체에 실물부문의 중요성이 상대적으로 높기 때문에 나타난 현상으로 보인다. 특히 최근의 서브프라임 사태에 의한 전세계적 금융위기 기간 동안 두시장의 정의 상관관계는 더욱 심화되는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between the ratio of non-controlling shareholder interests (minority equity ratio, MER) and the measurement error in real activities manipulation (RM) proxy for Japanese firms. Many Japanese firms have practiced stakeholder-oriented corporate governance systems. Previous studies suggest that the higher the MER, the more Japanese businesses tend to employ management techniques for the group's sales growth while also reallocating resources inside the group to reduce principal-principal conflicts. Such differences in management strategies by firms could lead to measurement error in the RM proxy. The analysis uses 16,450 firm-years listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The results of our analysis show that there is a positive relationship between MER and the RM proxy, and high persistence of RM proxies, suggesting that the RM proxies may contain measurement error. We also find that MER is correlated with variables associated with management strategy and that controlling for these variables can reduce the measurement error of RM proxy in firms with large MER. This study extends previous research on measurement error in RM proxy by relating them to ownership structure and corporate governance. This paper would contribute to researchers examining issues related to RM.

This paper explores the impact of corporate control, measured by ownership structure, on top-executives' compensation in Japan. According to agency theory, the pay-performance link is expected to be affected by the firm's ownership structure. Using a sample of 4,411 firm-year observations (401 firms for the 11-years period from 2001 to 2011) for Japanese non-financial firms publicly traded on the first section and second section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), this study demonstrates that institutional ownership (both financial and corporate) is negatively related to the level of executives' compensation. Such finding is in line with efficient monitoring hypothesis which claims that the presence of institutional shareholders provides direct monitoring over managers, limits managerial self-dealing and curves the increase in top-executives pay. On the other hand, the results also show that managerial ownership is positively related to their compensation which supports managerial power theory hypothesis, i.e. management-controlled firms are more likely to extract more compensation from the business than other firms. Overall, this study confirms that corporate control has significant impact on cash compensation paid to Japanese top-executives after controlling the conventional pay-performance relationship.

Warrant란 소유자에게 일반회사채의 권리에 일정한 기간내에 일정한 가격으로 정해진 수의 발행회사 주식을 매입할 수 있는 권리인 신주인수권을 함께 부여한 사채로서 금융파생상품의 하나이다. Warrant는 콜옵션과 동일한 성격을 가지면서도 투자자가 아니라 기업에 의해서 발행된다는 점이 콜옵션과 상이하다. 이러한 warrant의 특징은 특히 배당(dividend)을 지급하는 경우 블랙ㆍ숄즈 옵션가격 모형으로 평가하는데 문제가 있다. 또한 신주인수권의 행사는 발행주식의 수를 증가 시킴으로써 기업의 자산과 이익이 희석화(dilution) 된다. 본 연구는 OPM 대신에, 다변량 분석기법중의 하나인 다중회귀분석을 통하여 warrant가격에 영향을 미치는 주요 변수를 분석함으로써 warrant 가격결정 문제를 해결하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 1995년과 1996년의 일본동경주식시장의 300여개 warrant 자료를 토대로 실증분석 함으로써 warrant 가격결정 주요변수와 warrant 가격 예측 모형을 검토하였다.
