Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine whether the cash policies of retail firms listed on Korean stock markets are consistent with the evidence provided in the study of Almeida et al. (2004). Liquidity management is an important issue for financially constrained firms relative to financially unconstrained firms. Because there are few sources of external funding, the optimal liquidity policies of financially constrained firms should reflect their own earnings or cash inflows to create opportunities for current and future real investments. According to this simple idea, we estimate the sensitivity of cash to cash flows and simply check whether the estimated sensitivity to cash flows of the cash retained by constrained retail firms is greater than that of the cash retained by unconstrained retail firms. Through this work, we aim to explain why the cash policies of the retail firms listed on the Korean stock markets differ from those of listed manufacturing enterprises. Research design, data, and methodology - To explain a firm's cash holdings, we use only three explanatory variables: earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), Tobin's q, and size. All the variables are defined as the value of the numerator divided by aggregate assets. Thanks to this definition, it is possible to treat all the sample firms as a single large firm. The sample financial data for this study are collected from the retail enterprises listed on the KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets from 1991 to 2013. We can obtain these data from WISEfn, the financial information company. This study's methodology has its origin in Keynes's simple idea of precautionary liquidity demand: When a firm faces financial constraints, cash savings from earnings or cash inflows become important from the corporate finance perspective. Following this simple idea, Almeida et al. (2004) developed their theoretical model and found empirical evidence that the sensitivity of cash to cash flows varies systematically according to different types of financing frictions. To find more empirical evidence for this idea, we examined the cash flow sensitivity of the cash held by Korean retail firms. Results - Through several robustness tests, we empirically showed that financially constrained Korean retail firms display significant positive propensity to save cash from earnings before interest and taxes, while the estimated cash flow sensitivity of the cash held by unconstrained retail firms is not significant. Despite the relatively low earnings of retail firms, their sensitivity is three times greater than that of manufacturing enterprises. This implies that Korean retail firms have greater intentions of facilitating future investments rather than current investments. Conclusions - The characteristics of the cash policies of Korean retail firms differ from those of manufacturing firms. This contrast may be attributable to industry-oriented policy planning, regulations, and institutional differences. However, the industrial policymakers should observe signals of the long-term growth options of retail firms based on their high propensity to save from their cash inflows.

본 연구는 코스닥시장에 신규상장한 기업들의 상장 후 감사인 선임 의사결정과 회계정보의 품질을 살펴보았다. 선행연구는 신규 상장 시 기업들이 고품질 감사인을 선임하는 것은 유리한 조건으로 상장을 하는데 도움을 주며 시장 투자자들의 반응 역시 호의적임을 밝히고 있다. 본 연구는 이를 확장하여 상장한 이후 기업들이 지속적으로 Big N 감사인을 선임하는지를 조사하였다. 또한 Big N 감사인을 선임한 기업들이 상장 이후 회계정보의 품질이 더 높아지는지를 살펴보았다. 2006년 이후 상장예정기업들은 상장직전연도 혹은 상장연도에 증권선물위원회가 선정한 지정감사인을 선임하도록 의무화되어 있으나, 상장 이후에는 자유선임이 가능하다. 2002년에서 2012년 사이에 코스닥시장에 상장한 기업들을 대상으로 조사한 결과, 상장 후 2년까지는 Big N 김사인을 선임하는 경향이 있었으나, 3년 뒤부터는 이러한 경향이 감소하였다. 또한 Big N 감사인 선임으로 인해 회계정보 품질이 향상되는 기간 역시 상장 후 1년 정도까지였다. 추가분석의 결과, 상장연도에 지정감사인의 고객기업은 자유수임 감사인의 고객기업에 비해 오히려 재량적 발생액이 높았다. 그러나 상장 이후 Big N 감사인으로의 감사인 변경은 재량적 발생액을 줄이는 효과가 있었다. 마지막으로, 본 연구의 주요 분석 결과는 성향점수매칭 표본에서도 유사하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같은 공헌점을 갖는다. 우선, IPO 관련 선행연구들이 상장시점 혹은 상장직전의 감사인과 회계정보 품질의 관계를 살펴본 것과 다르게 본 연구는 상장 직후 기간을 살펴봄으로써, 상장기업들이 고품질 감사인과 지속적으로 계약하려는 경향이 있는지를 조사하였다. 또한, 본 연구가 발견한 바와 같이 상장 이후 기업들이 고품질 감사인을 선임하려는 경향이 기간 경과에 따라 감소하고, Big N 감사인들의 감사품질 역시 감소하는 것은 상장사와 주간회사, 신규상장 관련 정책 입안자들 및 시장의 투자자들에게 여러 시사점을 제공하고 있다.

This study describes the structure of the capital markets for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startup companies in Korea, which is an emerging market that has experienced drastic changes. The overall capital market can be divided into private and public capital markets. In the private capital market, most of the demand for capital comes from non-listed private firms, including startups and SMEs. In the case of SMEs and startups, the KOSDAQ, the Korea New Exchange (KONEX), and primary collateralized bond obligations (P-CBOs) are part of the public capital market. SMEs and startups are generally incapable of raising sufficient capital owing to their low credit ratings, and they largely have limited access to primary markets to issue shares and borrow money. The Korean government has developed a systematic financial aid program to provide funds to these companies. The fund for SMEs has significantly contributed to the development of the venture capital market. Many Korean banks provide substantial lending to SMEs, but this lending is available only because of the Korean government's loan recovery guarantee. Furthermore, SMEs can issue corporate debt in the form of primary collateralized bond obligations through government guarantees, but such debt issuances have placed increasing pressure on public guarantee institutions.

Design of web site must include community considerations alongside technical design aspects. The main purposes of this study are to identify the community criteria for evaluating web site and to examine how business web sites include the community factors. To identify the evaluation criteria, the author reviewed recent literatures and made a table showing a summary result(see Table 1). appendix shows a sample form NASDAQ(n=82) and KOSDAQ(n=59) which were evaluated. Using the evaluation from with 189 items(Table 3), all sites were visited and review between August 28, 2000 and September 6, 2000. The auther’s evaluations were done from the perspective of community building in business sector. Table 4, summary data on the results of the study, shows that the level of application of the community concept is very low. Among the listed 18 items, only a few items are utilized at more than 50% level. Less than 10% items are Member Profile, Group Segmentation, Backstory, Forum, Chat, Fact-to-face Meeting, and Collaborative Design. the unbalanced utilization due to the lack of community concept in businesses are found. Korea firms are superior to NASDAQ firms in terms of Bulletin Board and FAQ; But Korean firms are inferior and remain at very low level in terms of Member Login, Education Materials, Backstory, Forum, and Integrating Off-line Activities which are core factors of community building.

The purpose of this study is to test the effect of business strategy on valuation error. Business strategy includes managerial decision making and managerial tendency. In previous research, there is a negative relationship between business strategy and accounting quality. In this study, we try to confirm whether strategy tendencies affected valuation errors. In order to confirm empirically between business strategy and overvaluation, we use 8,117 firms that between 2006 and 2017 and listed in KSE and KOSDAQ. We calculated business strategy which is introduced by Bentley, Omer, and Sharp (2013). We also used the overvaluation method introduced in Rhodes-Kropf, Robinson, and Viswanathan (2005). The results show that the more the leading business strategy is, the greater the value error becomes. In the case of dividing into leading and defensive companies, the lead firms showed a significant positive correlation with the valuation errors, while the defensive firms showed the negative relationship with overvaluation. This study examined the business strategy and the overvaluation. we confirmed whether the management strategy deepens the evaluation error caused by the firm characteristics. The results are meaningful that we extended the study on the quality of financial reporting of leading strategic firms.

This study investigates whether firm-specifics affect forecast accuracy using a sample of IPO firms in Korea. The forecasts accuracy can be differentiated depending on firm specifics. This study uses the foreign investor, intangible asset and patents as firm specifics. The analysts are divided into two groups by firm-specifies(foreign investors ratio of low and high, intangible asset ratio of low and high, patents of acquisition) and also examine the degree of analysts's forecast accuracy over the two groups. and examined the degree of the analysts' forecast accuracy over the two groups. The sample is composed of 460 IPO (Initial Public Offering) firms listed on the KOSDAQ (Korean Securities Dealers Automated Quotations) for the period from 2001 to 2009. The analysts' forecast accuracy is much higher in the group of high foreign investor but is lower in the group of high intangible assets and patents. Also, the group of high foreign investors respectively interacts with group of high intangible assets ratio and group of patents of acquisition. In result, The analysts' forecast accuracy is higher because foreign investor is decreased information asymmetry. This study compares suggests that patents may be helpful for predicting forecast accuracy.

The study aims to investigate the relationship between hedging with derivatives and subsequent firm-level stock price crash risk. Our sample consists of KOSPI- and KOSDAQ-listed companies from 2004 to 2014. The total firm-year observation is 4,886. We find that hedging with derivatives is related to greater possibilities of crash risk. The results suggest that the complexity of economic and financial reporting for derivatives may aggravate the company's information opacity, ultimately increasing the crash risk. We contribute to the growing body of literature on hedging with derivatives. Academics and practitioners have debated on whether or not hedging enhances transparency or rather makes the information environment more opaque. Theoretical research on the role of corporate hedging on information environment shows that hedging enhances earnings informativeness. Meanwhile, pieces of anecdotal and empirical evidence show that the economic and financial reporting complexity of derivatives can harm information transparency. Our results shed light on the question of whether and how hedging with derivatives affects information environment by examining the relationship between hedging with derivatives and crash risk. Furthermore, our findings provide useful insights for policymakers and practitioners. Specifically, our results raise a need for a more transparent disclosure on corporate hedging activities with derivatives.

This study aims to verify the relationship between overseas activities and performance of Korea's SMEs during the last financial crisis. Whether overseas activity performance of enterprises differed was determined based on characteristic variables, including the degree of concentration on R&D and marketing. This study also examined how SMEs' international transactions and their performance differed based on internal variable such as the level of stock holding and firm size. This study developed a model for analyzing the relationship between the level of internationalization and performance of Koran SMEs listed in the KOSDAQ. We used firm-level data, including annual reports and various data sources such as the KISVALUE program. To smooth annual fluctuations in accounting data, we used a three-year average from 2006 to 2009 for each variable in the study. The results showed that proactive overseas activities ultimately had a positive effect on an enterprise's performance, even though it initially had a negative effect. Therefore, enterprises should focus their capacity on R&D and marketing environment. Although numerous studies have focused on the relationship between overseas activities and performance of enterprises, the present study analyzed whether enterprises should continuously engage in overseas activities and what capacities they should strengthen during a global economic recession.
