Private financing is playing an increasing role in public infrastructure construction projects worldwide. However, private investors/operators are exposed to the financial risk of low profitability due to the inaccurate estimation of facility demand, operation income, maintenance costs, etc. From the operator's perspective, a sound and thorough financial feasibility study is required to establish the appropriate capital structure of a project. Operators tend to reduce the equity amount to minimize the level of risk exposure, while creditors persist to raise it, in an attempt to secure a sufficient level of financial involvement from the operators. Therefore, it is important for creditors and operators to reach an agreement for a balanced capital structure that synthetically considers both profitability and repayment capacity. This paper presents an optimal capital structure model for successful private infrastructure investment. This model finds the optimized point where the profitability is balanced with the repayment capacity, with the use of the concept of utility function and multi-objective GA (Generic Algorithm)-based optimization. A case study is presented to show the validity of the model and its verification. The research conclusions provide a proper capital structure for privately-financed infrastructure projects through a proposed multi-objective model.

Hedge funds can be established in Korea after the deregulation about setting up private equity funds on September, 2011. Although the variety of asset allocation strategies is the strength of hedge funds, most of Korean hedge funds uses only the equity long/short strategy. Therefore, it is need to introduce other strategies into Korea hedge funds, however all strategies can not be adopted at once because of the infrastructure of Korea financial market. In this paper, we find the optimal introductive order of strategies for Korea hedge fund in view of individual or institutional investors. For this analysis, HFRI data are used for the historical return of each hedge fund strategy and three methods (network visualization, principle component analysis and efficient frontier optimization) are used for finding the optimal order.

This study examines the impact of corporate governance on capital structure decisions based on a large panel of Chinese listed firms. Using the system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator to control for unobserved heterogeneity, endogeneity, and persistency in capital structure decisions, we document that the ownership structure plays a significant role in determining leverage ratios. More specially, we find that managerial ownership has a positive and significant impact on firms' leverage, consistent with the incentive alignment hypothesis. We also find that managerial ownership only affects the leverage decisions of private firms in the post-2005 split share reform period. State ownership negatively influence leverage decisions implying that SOEs may face fewer restrictions in equity issuance and may receive favourable treatments when applying for seasoned equity ¿nancing, thus use less debt. Furthermore, our results show that while foreign ownership negatively influences leverage decisions, legal person shareholding positively influences firms' leverage decisions only for state controlled firms. We also find that the board structure variables (board size and the proportion of independent directors) do not influence firms' capital structure decisions. Our findings suggest that recent ownership reforms have been successful in terms of providing incentive to managers through managerial shareholdings to take risky financial choices.

This study aimed to clarify the difference between consumers and hands-on staff in evaluation of the attributes importance of asset evaluation attributes and the relationship between difference from consumers and hands-on staff in evaluation of the attributes and the performance. Subjects for the quantitative research, quota sampling was adopted in the areas where the subject brands were in place, and 452 questionnaires (141 of hands-on staff, 311 of consumers) were analyzed. The results were as follows; 1. The factors that hands-on staff and consumers regarded as most important as to asset evaluation attributes of department store-exclusive importation brands included preference and product quality in the order, and then image, recognition, reliability, and country of origin in the case of hands-on staff, and reliability, image, recognition, and country of origin in the case of consumers in the order. 2. As a result of examining the effect of the difference between hands-on staff and consumers regarding exclusive importation brands(GAP, ZARA) of certain department stores on business achievement and consumer attitude, it turned out that the smaller the difference between the two groups with regard to evaluation, the higher the business achievement and consumer attitude.

The relationship of information flow and market price formation are central to the basic tenets of financial economics. Whereas information is usually treated as being either public or private(monopolistic), most empirical studies focus on the price effects of public announcements. More recent research has centered more on the role of private information, such as insider trading, in efficient pricing and whether such trading increases investor welfare. Typically, 'insider trading' refers to an officer that trades in his/her company's shares. Insider trading, however, also refers to anyone who generates private, albeit costly, information concerning a stock's fundamental value. Normally, such insider activity is more difficult to ascertain. One way in which negative information is revealed is through short-selling activity, especially the monthly short-interest positions reported by the national stock exchanges. Diamond and Verrecchia(1987) provide a theoretical paradigm that predicts a negative price adjustment upon announcement of n company's monthly short interest, if the short interest displays an unusual increase and is correlated with negative information that is not yet public. Empirical studies of the short-run, negative price effect predicted by Diamond and Verrecchia find mixed results. One explanation is that the time period studied is too short for the market to absorb the informational content of these announcements. One reason is that these announcements are an ambiguous signal that requires more individuals and time to collect and act on the same information before full revelation occurs or before the implicit information becomes publicly known. This 'long delayed reaction' also serves as a motivation for related research on the wealth effect of mergers, share repurchases, and initial equity offerings in which long-run performance differs from the initial, short-run reaction to such announcements or offerings.

본 연구는 가구소득의 불평등에 민간보험수입과 의료비본인부담지출이 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 확인하기 위하여 2015년 의료패널조사데이타에 대하여 소득계층별 집중지수와 집중곡선 분석을 실시하였다. 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 가구소득 집중지수가 0.3580으로 소득이 고소득층에 집중되어 있어서 불평등 정도가 상당히 큰 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 민간보험수입이 고소득층에 집중하여 적지만 고소득층 가구의 소득집중현상을 강화시킨다. 셋째, 저소득층의 의료비 본인부담지출이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로 가구소득에서 전체 의료비본인부담지출을 제외한 소득에 대한 집중지수가 0.3676으로 나타나서 의료비본인부담지출 후에도 소득이 고소득층에 크게 집중되어 있었다. 따라서 민간보험수입과 의료비본인부담지출은 모두 가구소득불평등을 심화시키는 요인으로 작용하고 있어서 융 복합적 연구 및 정책방안 마련을 통한 개선이 요구된다.

본고는 1990년대 중반부터 벌어진 미국의 사회보장연금 개혁논쟁의 내용과 쟁점 그리고 그 성격을 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 미국의 사회보장연금이 적립방식으로 시작했다가 부과방식으로 전환한 과정, 논쟁의 기본 안이 된 사회방청 자문위원회의 세 가지 안, 이 세 안을 다소 변형시킨 정치계와 기업계 및 학계의 각종 제안들을 분석했으며, 각 안들의 비교 분석을 통해 주요 쟁점들을 추출하여 비판적으로 논의하였다. 최대 쟁점은 개인계정의 신설 여부와 펀드의 관리운영 주체를 정부로 할 것인가 아니면 민간투자회사로 할 것인가의 여부 및 사회보장연금의 세대간 소득계층간 재분배 효과에 있다는 사실을 규명했다. 동시에 핵심 쟁점을 둘러싼 입장의 차이도 밝혔다. 민영화를 주장하는 입장(IA 및 PSA 지지자)에서는 사회보장연금의 세대내 소득계층간 재분배 기능보다는 개인적 형평성과 저축제고 효과 그리고 민간의 관리운영과 민간 자본시장에의 투자를 선호했고, 부과방식 옹호자들(MB 지지자)은 사회보장연금의 세대간 소득계층간 재분배의 기능의 여전히 유효하고, 부과방식 연금의 기본 틀을 유지하면서 약간의 개혁(사회보장 세율의 인상과 급여 수준의 하향조정)으로 재정불건전 문제를 해결할 수 있다고 보는 것으로 확인되었다.

The study examines the effects of growth opportunities, debt maturity and liquidity risk on leverage, making use of a large panel of Chinese listed firms. Research on capital structure has broadened its scope from a single capital structure decision (the debt/equity choice) to various attributes of the debt in firms' capital structure. We use the system Generalized Method of Moments estimator to control for unobserved heterogeneity and the potential endogeneity of regressors. We find a negative relationship between growth opportunities and leverage. Further, we find that while the proportion of short-term debt attenuates the negative effect of growth opportunities on leverage, it negatively affects leverage as predicted by the liquidity risk hypothesis. When we distinguish between state owned firms and private controlled firms, we find evidence that these effects are only relevant to private controlled firms. However, our analysis indicates that the economic implication of liquidity risk effect is much lower for Chinese firms than that observed in the literature for US firms. Our study suggests that these differences can be explained by differences in the institutional environment in which firms operate. This finding related to Diamond's (1991) liquidity risk hypothesis extends our understanding of the relationship between liquidity risk and the debt maturity choice.
