Purpose - This study examines the impact of oil price volatility on economic activities in Korea. The new millennium has seen a deregulation in the crude oil market, which invited immense capital inflow into Korea. It has also raised oil price levels and volatility. Drawing on the recent theoretical literature that emphasizes the role of volatility, this paper attends to the asymmetric changes in economic growth in response to the oil price movement. This study further examines several key macroeconomic variables, such as interest rate, production, and inflation. We come to the conclusion that oil price volatility can, in some part, explain the structural changes. Research design, data, and methodology - We use two methodological frameworks in this study. First, in regards to the oil price uncertainty, we use an Exponential-GARCH (Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity: EGARCH) model estimate to elucidate the asymmetric effect of oil price shock on the conditional oil price volatility. Second, along with the estimation of the conditional volatility by the EGARCH model, we use the estimates in a VECM (Vector Error Correction Model). The study thus examines the dynamic impacts of oil price volatility on industrial production, price levels, and monetary policy responses. We also approximate the monetary policy function by the yield of monetary stabilization bond. The data collected for the study ranges from 1990: M1 to 2013: M7. In the VECM analysis section, the time span is split into two sub-periods; one from 1990 to 1999, and another from 2000 to 2013, due to the U.S. CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) deregulation on the crude oil futures that became effective in 2000. This paper intends to probe the relationship between oil price uncertainty and macroeconomic variables since the structural change in the oil market became effective. Results and Conclusions - The dynamic impulse response functions obtained from the VECM show a prolonged dampening effect of oil price volatility shock on the industrial production across all sub-periods. We also find that inflation measured by CPI rises by one standard deviation shock in response to oil price uncertainty, and lasts for the ensuing period. In addition, the impulse response functions allude that South Korea practices an expansionary monetary policy in response to oil price shocks, which stems from oil price uncertainty. Moreover, a comparison of the results of the dynamic impulse response functions from the two sub-periods suggests that the dynamic relationships have strengthened since 2000. Specifically, the results are most drastic in terms of industrial production; the impact of oil price volatility shocks has more than doubled from the year 2000 onwards. These results again indicate that the relationships between crude oil price uncertainty and Korean macroeconomic activities have been strengthened since the year2000, which resulted in a structural change in the crude oil market due to the deregulation of the crude oil futures.

본 연구의 목적은 브렉시트로 인한 세계 거시경제환경의 변화, 특히 당사국인 영국과 EU의 경기 및 환율의 변화가 한국의 컨테이너물동량에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 있다. 분석을 위하여 2000-2016년의 월별시계열 데이터를 이용하고 장기적 관계를 위한 공적분 검정과 장기 및 단기 동학적 분석을 위한 VECM모형과 인과성 검정을 위한 VECM인과성 검정을 도입한다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저, 한국 컨테이너물동량은 장기적으로는 EU의 경기와 환율에 의해서 영향을 받는다. 그리고 영국의 경기와 환율은 한국의 수출컨테이너물동량에만 한정하여 영향을 미친다. 두 번째, 단기적으로는 EU의 거시경제환경 변수 중 경기 상황보다는 유로화 환율이 한국 컨테이너물동량에 미친 영향 관계가 더욱 의미가 있는데, 이는 특히 수출컨테이너물동량의 경우 더욱 명확하다. 영국도 마찬가지로 경기의 영향은 유의성이 없지만 환율은 한국 수출컨테이너물동량에 대한 영향관계의 유의성이 커서 의미가 있다. 이러한 사실은 VECM인과성 검증에서도 잘 나타나 한국 총컨테이너물동량과 수출컨테이너물동량은 EU의 유로화환율에, 그리고 영국의 파운드화 환율은 한국의 수출컨테이너물동량에 대해서 인과성이 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 영국의 브렉시트로 인한 영국 및 EU의 경기 및 환율 변화에 의한 한국 컨테이너물동량의 영향은 경기 변화보다는 환율변화에 의한 것이 더 크고 주로 수출컨테이너물동량에 집중하는 등 제한적으로 영향을 미칠 것으로 전망된다. 그리고 브렉시트 당사국인 영국보다는 EU의 경기 및 환율변화에 의한 영향이 좀 더 중요할 것으로 보인다.

본 연구에서는 Pfister 등 (2019)에서 제시된 시계열 데이터에 대해서 시간이 지나도 불변하는 인과성(invariant causality)을 갖는 변수를 찾는 방법에 대해서 설명하고자 한다. 시계열에서 주로 이용되는 Granger causality 방법은 인과 관계를 찾기 보다는 선행한 사건과 추후에 일어나는 사건과의 연관성을 찾는 방법이며, 때로는 허위 연관성의 결과를 산출하기도 한다. Chow 검정은 고정된 모형에 대해서 특정 시점 전후의 차이를 검정하는데 이용된다. 기존 방법은 높은 설명을 갖는 모형을 찾는데 중점을 두었는데, 이러한 모형은 환경의 변화에 따라 같은 모형이 유지되지 않을 가능성이 있다. Pfister 등 (2019)에서 제시된 모형은 설명변수와 종속변수 간의 조건부 관계를 찾는데 중점을 두고 있기 때문에, 환경의 변화에도 불변하는 인과성을 찾는데 유용하게 이용될 수 있다. 특히, 거시 경제 데이터는 측정하기 어려운 많은 변수로 인해 설명력이 높은 모형을 찾는 것이 어렵기 때문에, 기존 방법을 이용하기 보다는 Pfister 등 (2019)의 모형을 적용하는 것이 의미가 있다. 본 연구에서는 Pfister 등 (2019)가 제시한 방법을 이용하여 원 달러 환율에 불변하는 인과성을 갖는 거시경제 변수를 찾고자 한다.

The growth of digital news media and the stock price index has resulted in economic fluctuations in the fashion industry. This study examines the impact of fashion industry news and macroeconomic changes on the Textile & Wearing Apparel KOSPI over the past five years. An auto-regressive integrated moving average exogenous time series model was conducted using the fashion industry stock market index, the news topic index, and macro-economic indicators. The results indicated the topics of "Cosmetic business expansion" and "Digital innovation" impacted the Textile & Wearing Apparel KOSPI after one week, and the topics of "Pop-up store," "Entry into the Chinese fashion market," and "Fashion week and trade show" affected it after two weeks. Moreover, the topics of "Cosmetic business expansion" and "Entry into the Chinese fashion market" were statistically significant in the macroeconomic environment. Regarding the effect relation of Textile & Wearing Apparel KOSPI, "Cosmetic business expansion," "Entry into the Chinese fashion market," and consumer price fluctuation showed negative effects, while the private consumption change rate, producer price fluctuation, and unemployment change rate had positive effects. This study analyzes the impact of media framing on fashion industry business cycles and provides practical insights into managing stock market risk for fashion companies.

This study evaluated economic feasibility and provided rationale for the development of the Korean Operational Oceanographic System (KOOS). KOOS is supposed to be established for the preservation and management of marine environments, and for the safety of ocean activities. Economic issues associated with operational oceanographic systems are discussed. During the operational period of KOOS associated with conservative small-input scenarios, and according to the macroeconomic inputoutput analysis, the system was estimated to generate 8.3 times its actual proposed economic investment (about KRW 327.7 billion). Other rationales that cannot be easily quantified were also discussed.

This paper evaluates the whole impact of quantitative easing on inflation in Korea implemented by the central banks in four major advanced economies, the U.S., Euro Area, U.K. and Japan. According to the analysis employing a VAR-X model with the security holdings of those central banks an exogenous variable, quantitative easing is estimated to exert downward pressures on inflation in Korea. Considering the impulse responses of Korean macroeconomic variables to a quantitative easing shock, the spillover effect is transmitted through exchange rate channel while trade channel turns out to be ineffective. In an additional analysis assessing the impact of each quantitative easing program of the central banks, only those of the Fed and European Central Bank are estimated to be significant. The empirical results prove to be robust even if using long-term interest rates as an alternative indicator of quantitative easing.

This paper intends to examine the extent of the fiscal contribution of immigrants to Korea. According to this analysis, the aim is to derive implications pertaining to the direction of Korea's immigration policy as a response to fiscal problems caused by population aging. For this purpose, a macroeconomic model is designed to measure the lifetime net fiscal contribution of immigrants in Korea by visa type, age, and other characteristics. According to this analysis, the sum of the lifetime fiscal contribution for all immigrants in Korea is negative. This implies that immigration policy reforms that increase the inflow size while maintaining the current structure of the foreign population characteristics can rather worsen Korea's fiscal problems. This finding suggests that immigration policy reform may exacerbate Korea's fiscal soundness if it simply targets the maintenance of the numerical balance of the demographic structure.

Various studies have been conducted from the past to the present because stock price forecasts provide stability in the national economy and huge profits to investors. Recently, there have been many studies that suggest stock price prediction models using various input data such as macroeconomic indicators and emotional analysis. However, since each study was conducted individually, it is difficult to objectively compare each method, and studies on their impact on stock price prediction are still insufficient. In this paper, the effect of input data currently mainly used on the stock price is evaluated through the predicted value of the deep learning model and the error rate of the actual stock price. In addition, unlike most papers in emotional analysis, emotional analysis using the news body was conducted, and a method of supplementing the results of each emotional analysis is proposed through three emotional analysis models. Through experiments predicting Microsoft's revised closing price, the results of emotional analysis were found to be the most important factor in stock price prediction. Especially, when all of input data is used, error rate of ensembled sentiment analysis model is reduced by 58% compared to the baseline.

The research aims to analyze the firm-specific and macroeconomic factors that affect insurance company's financial performance. The research explores the variables that influence the financial performance of the United Arab Emirates (UAE)' insurance companies. The analysis for determining financial performance considers the following variables: the firm's age, retention ratio, capital adequacy, underwriting risk/loss ratio, financial-leverage, reinsurance dependency, and macro-economic factors such as GDP per capita, inflation rate considered as independent factors. The return-on-asset (ROA) is the key measuring indicator; it is regarded as the dependent variable for financial performance measures. The research focuses on secondary information obtained from insurance companies' financial statements. The researcher targeted 18 insurance companies listed on the UAE stock exchanges for study purposes. The research examines the overall factors that influence the financial performance of an insurance company. For analysis of data, software package of social sciences (SPSS version 20) is used. The studies used correlation and multiple linear regression analysis to determine financial performance and their effects. The analysis suggests that there are important and constructive relationships between the size, capital adequacy, and reinsurance dependency, while loss ratio, retention ratio, and financial leverage indicate a major negative relationship. And there's no link between GDP per capita and inflation.
