Despite the great success of the derivatives market, several concerns were expressed regarding the additional volatilitystemming from program trading during the expiration of derivatives. This paper examines the impact of the expiration of the KOSPI 200 index derivatives on cash market of Korea Stock Exchange(KSE). The KOSPI 200 index derivatives market has a unique settlement price determination process. The settlement price for the expiration of derivatives is determined by call auction during the last 10 minutes after the trades for matured derivatives are finalized. We analyze typical expiration day effects such as price, volatility, and volume effects. With high frequency data, we find that there are strong expiration day effects in the KSE and try to interpret the results with the unique settlement procedures of the KOSPI 200 cash and derivatives markets.

In this paper, economic performance was measured through portfolio analysis for environmentally friendly companies from September 2004 to September 2005. By using portfolio analysis, rate of revenue for environmentally friendly company is twelve to seven teen percent higher than the KOSPI, and KOSPI200 based companies. Except medical and pharmatical industry, environmentally friendly companies had shown low risk and high returns of revenue for banking and financing, chemical and electronic industry. As SRI fund is emerging as a important guideline in recent years, valuation of a cooperate will be very important tool for the financing business area in the future.

KOSPI200 index is the Korean stock price index consisting of actively traded 200 stocks in the Korean stock market. Its base value of 100 was set on January 3, 1990. The Korea Exchange (KRX) developed derivatives markets on the KOSPI200 index. KOSPI200 index futures market, introduced in 1996, has become one of the most actively traded indexes markets in the world. Traders can make profit by entering a long position on the KOSPI200 index futures contract if the KOSPI200 index will rise in the future. Likewise, they can make profit by entering a short position if the KOSPI200 index will decline in the future. Basically, KOSPI200 index futures trading is a short-term zero-sum game and therefore most futures traders are using technical indicators. Advanced traders make stable profits by using system trading technique, also known as algorithm trading. Algorithm trading uses computer programs for receiving real-time stock market data, analyzing stock price movements with various technical indicators and automatically entering trading orders such as timing, price or quantity of the order without any human intervention. Recent studies have shown the usefulness of artificial intelligent systems in forecasting stock prices or investment risk. KOSPI200 index data is numerical time-series data which is a sequence of data points measured at successive uniform time intervals such as minute, day, week or month. KOSPI200 index futures traders use technical analysis to find out some patterns on the time-series chart. Although there are many technical indicators, their results indicate the market states among bull, bear and flat. Most strategies based on technical analysis are divided into trend following strategy and non-trend following strategy. Both strategies decide the market states based on the patterns of the KOSPI200 index time-series data. This goes well with Markov model (MM). Everybody knows that the next price is upper or lower than the last price or similar to the last price, and knows that the next price is influenced by the last price. However, nobody knows the exact status of the next price whether it goes up or down or flat. So, hidden Markov model (HMM) is better fitted than MM. HMM is divided into discrete HMM (DHMM) and continuous HMM (CHMM). The only difference between DHMM and CHMM is in their representation of state probabilities. DHMM uses discrete probability density function and CHMM uses continuous probability density function such as Gaussian Mixture Model. KOSPI200 index values are real number and these follow a continuous probability density function, so CHMM is proper than DHMM for the KOSPI200 index. In this paper, we present an artificial intelligent trading system based on CHMM for the KOSPI200 index futures system traders. Traders have experienced on technical trading for the KOSPI200 index futures market ever since the introduction of the KOSPI200 index futures market. They have applied many strategies to make profit in trading the KOSPI200 index futures. Some strategies are based on technical indicators such as moving averages or stochastics, and others are based on candlestick patterns such as three outside up, three outside down, harami or doji star. We show a trading system of moving average cross strategy based on CHMM, and we compare it to a traditional algorithmic trading system. We set the parameter values of moving averages at common values used by market practitioners. Empirical results are presented to compare the simulation performance with the traditional algorithmic trading system using long-term daily KOSPI200 index data of more than 20 years. Our suggested trading system shows higher trading performance than naive system trading.

This study performed comprehensive tests on the four hypotheses on the capital structures for the firms listed in the KOSPI during the period from 2006 to 2011. It may be of concern to find any financial profiles on firms' leverage across the book- and market-value bases since there was relatively little attention drawn to any financial changing profile of the leverage surrounding the period of the pre-and the post-global financial crises. The findings of this study may also be compared with those of the previous related literature, by which it may be expected to enhance the robustness and consistency of the results across the different classifications on capital markets. It was found that three explanatory variables such as PFT, SIZE, and RISK, were found to be the statistically significant attributes on leverage during the tested period. Moreover, the outcome by the Fisher Exact test showed that a firm belonging to each corresponding industry may possess its reversion tendency towards the industry mean and median leverage ratios.

A recurrence plot can be used as a graphical exploratory data analysis tool before confirmatory time series analysis. With the recurrence plot, we can obtain the structural pattern of the time series and recognize the structural change points in a time series at a glance. Korean stock data shows the usefulness of the recurrence plot as a graphical exploratory data analysis tool for time series data.

In this study, price discovery between the KOSPI200 spot, and leveraged ETFs(Leveraged KODEX, Leveraged TIGER, Leveraged KStar) is investigated using the vector error correction model(VECM). The main findings are as follows. Leveraged KODEX(Leveraged TIGER, Leveraged KStar) and KOSPI200 spot are cointegrated in most cases. There is no interrelations between the movement of Leveraged KODEX(Leveraged TIGER, Leveraged KStar) and KOSPI200 spot markets in case of daily data. Namely, in daily data, Leveraged KODEX(Leveraged TIGER, Leveraged KStar) doesn't plays more dominant role in price discovery than the KOSPI200 spot.

This paper examines the differences between the Korean and American stock markets using the Kospi and S&P 500 indices and discusses policy implications through them. To this end, in addition to the existing time series analysis method, a deep learning method was used to compare markets, and the comparison was made in terms of stock price forecasting ability and data generation ability. In monthly data, the difference between time series was not large, and in daily data, the difference in terms of stability was weak, and there was no significant difference in predictive power or simulation data generation. As shown in the results of this study, if there is not much difference in market price movement patterns between Korea and the United States, tax benefits for long-term stocks investment will be effective against the side effects of short selling.

본 연구는 KOSPI 200 주가지수선물이 현물시장의 유동성 및 변동성에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 1996년 5월 3일 주가지수선물의 도입 전 후 각각 6개월간의 일중 매수 매도호가, 일중 최고가, 최저가, 종가, 거래량에 대한 109개 기업의 패널자료(panel data)를 일반화최소승자(GLS) 방법에 의하여 시계열횡단면회귀분석(time series cross-sectional regression)으로 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 발견된 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 주가지수선물 도입이후 주식시장 전반적으로 매수 매도호가 스프레드 증가는 발견할 수 없었다. 그러나 KOSPI 200 지수 비채택종목의 스프레드는 증가하여 주가지수선물 도입이후 유동성의 감소를 보였고 KOSPI 200 종목군은 유의적인 변화가 없었다. 둘째, 스프레드의 설명변수중 가격변수는 주가지수선물의 도입 이전에 유의적 설명변수이었고, 주가지수선물 도입이후에도 구조적 차이의 변화를 발견할 수 없었다. 그러나 스프레드의 설명변수 중 주가지수선물의 도입 이전에는 유의적이지 못하였던 변동성과 거래량의 스프레드에 대한 민감도가 주가지수선물 도입이후에는 유의적인 차이변화를 나타냈다. 변동성은 KOSPI 200 지수 비채택종목군에서, 그리고 거래량은 지수채택종목과 비채택종목군 모두에서 통계적으로 유의적인 차이 변화를 나타내어 주가지수선물 도입이후 스프레드의 설명변수에 구조적 변화가 발생하였다. 셋째, 주가지수선물의 도입이후 가격변수를 설명변수로 조정하고 난 현물시장의 변동성이 유의적으로 증가하였고, 특히 지수비채택종목군에서 더 심한 증가를 보여 주었다. 이는 선물가격이 정보를 효율적으로 반영하지 못하여 현물시장의 변동성에 다소 영향을 미친 것으로 볼 수 있다.
