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 study is the first to analyze performance of Taiwanese domestic equity funds between January 2009 and October 2014, the period during which quantitative redirected capital flows toward developing economies and the Taiwanese Stock Exchange Weighted Index compounded at approximately 12.9% annually. Adopting methods endorsed by earlier research, we evaluated 15 Taiwanese equity funds' performance relative to market averages using the Sharpe (1966) and Treynor (1965) ratios and Jensen's alpha method (1968). To test market timing proficiency, we applied the Treynor and Mazuy (1966) and Henriksson and Merton (1981) regression analysis methods. Jensen's alpha method (1968) was used to measure fund managers' stock selection skills. Results revealed that funds significantly under-performed Taiwan's average annual market return and demonstrated no exceptional stock-selection skills and market timing proficiency during the era of quantitative easing.

This paper focuses on the policy framework about "Quantitative and Qualitative Easing (QQE)" of Japan, and analyzes reasons why the policy goal was not reached. The QQE was introduced by the Bank of Japan in 2013 with the purpose of meeting the price stability target of 2% and getting out of deflation that prevents sustained price decline. However, despite the implementation of the bold monetary easing policy unprecedented in the world, the policy goal was not achieved as of June 2018. As a result of analyzing the causes, the following three structural factors were confirmed. 1) The rise in prices by QQE was limited because Japan's consumer price is strongly depending on import price. 2) The effect is high degree of uncertainty and limited because theoretical framework of reflationist which adopted QQE depends on "expectation formation" by "self-fulfilling expectation" and "multiple equilibria". 3) It was confirmed that the expansion of the monetary base did not lead to money stock due to the existence of Japanese liquidity trap, long-term low interest rate policy.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate risk price implied from the pricing kernel of Korean stock distribution market. Recently, it is considered that the quantitative easing programs of major developed countries are contributing to a reduction in global uncertainty caused by the 2007~2009 financial crisis. If true, the risk premium as compensation for global systemic risk or economic uncertainty should show a decrease. We examine whether the risk price in the Korean stock distribution market has declined in recent years, and attempt to provide practical implications for investors to manage their portfolios more efficiently, as well as academic implications. Research design, data and methodology - To estimate the risk price, we adopt a non-parametric method; the minimum norm pricing kernel method under the LOP (Law of One Price) constraint. For the estimation, we use 17 industry sorted portfolios provided by the KRX (Korea Exchange). Additionally, the monthly returns of the 17 industry sorted portfolios, from July 2000 to June 2014, are utilized as data samples. We set 120 months (10 years) as the estimation window, and estimate the risk prices from July 2010 to June 2014 by month. Moreover, we analyze correlation between any of the two industry portfolios within the 17 industry portfolios to suggest further economic implications of the risk price we estimate. Results - According to our results, the risk price in the Korean stock distribution market shows a decline over the period of July 2010 to June 2014 with statistical significance. During the period of the declining risk price, the average correlation level between any of the two industry portfolios also shows a decrease, whereas the standard deviation of the average correlation shows an increase. The results imply that the amount of systematic risk in the Korea stock distribution market has decreased, whereas the amount of industry-specific risk has increased. It is one of the well known empirical results that correlation and uncertainty are positively correlated, therefore, the declining correlation may be the result of decreased global economic uncertainty. Meanwhile, less asset correlation enables investors to build portfolios with less systematic risk, therefore the investors require lower risk premiums for the efficient portfolio, resulting in the declining risk price. Conclusions - Our results may provide evidence of reduction in global systemic risk or economic uncertainty in the Korean stock distribution market. However, to defend the argument, further analysis should be done. For instance, the change of global uncertainty could be measured with funding costs in the global money market; subsequently, the relation between global uncertainty and the price of risk might be directly observable. In addition, as time goes by, observations of the risk price could be extended, enabling us to confirm the relation between the global uncertainty and the effect of quantitative easing. These topics are beyond our scope here, therefore we reserve them for future research.

미 연준은 2015년부터 통화정책의 정상화를 진행하고 있으며, 이는 우리 경제에 상당한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구는 '시변모수 벡터자기회귀' (Time-varying parameter vector auto regression, TVP-VAR) 모형을 바탕으로 미국 통화정책이 우리나라 금융시장과 자본유출입에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 미국 통화정책의 변화는 신용스프레드, 페더럴펀드 금리(정책금리), 기간프리미엄 등 세 변수를 통해 파악하였다. 국내 변수로는 금융시장 지표(장기금리, 원/달러 환율, 신용스프레드)와 국제수지표 금융계정을 분석하였다. 미국 정책금리 충격은 2004~2006년 금리인상기에는 국내 금융시장에 불안을 야기 시키고 외국인 국내 투자와 내국인 해외투자의 동시 감소를 초래하였으나 2015년 이후에는 그 효과가 제한적인 것으로 드러났다. 미국 기간프리미엄의 영향력은 양적완화 (Quantitative Easing, QE) 정책 실시 이후 확대되었다. 미국 신용스프레드가 국내 금융시장과 자본유출입에 미친 충격은 글로벌 금융위기 이후 크게 확대된 것으로 나타났다. 미국 통화정책 정상화의 파급효과 예측을 위한 시뮬레이션을 실시한 결과 정책금리 인상 자체보다 이로 인해 금융시장이 불안해질 때 발생할 수 있는 신용스프레드의 상승이 국내 금융시장에 더 큰 부작용을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 자금유출입 측면에서 미국 통화정책 정상화는 외국인 투자자금의 국외이탈 압력 증가로 이어지나, 내국인의 해외투자자금이 국내로 환수되면서 이를 상쇄한다.

거시경제는 한 나라의 경제 전반의 움직임을 나타내는 개념으로 경제주체인 기업, 정부, 가계경제 활동 전반에 영향을 미친다. 거시경제는 국민소득, 물가, 실업, 통화, 금리, 원자재 등의 변화를 살펴보면 경제 주체들의 행위와 상호작업이 제품과 서비스의 가격에 영향을 파악할 수 있다. 미국연방준비제도(FED)는 코로나 경제침체를 극복하기 위한 다양한 경기부양책을 내 놓으며, 세계경제를 이끌고 있다. 현재 코로나로 인한 주가가 2020년3월20일에 지속적으로 하락하였지만, FED의 강력한 경지부양책인 양적완화로 미국의 S&P500지수는 3월 23일이후 반등을 시작해 12월 15일 3,694.62까지 회복에 성공했다. 따라서 주가의 예측을 기업의 재무제표로 판단하는 것이 아니라 거시경제지표에 따른 FED의 경기부양책이 더 영향을 미치고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 FED의 경기부양책과 주가에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 주식투자에 손실을 줄이고 건전한 투자 정착을 위해 본 연구를 진행하였다.

This paper examines the effects of global liquidity expansion on advanced and emerging economies by using panel VAR methodology. The results show that global liquidity expansion tends to boost economy by increasing GDP growth and stock prices. However, we find that the effects are asymmetric. The effects of global liquidity on GDP and stock prices are greater and more persistent in emerging economies than in liquidity recipient advanced economies. Moreover, global liquidity appreciates emerging economies' exchange rates more persistently than those of advanced economies. Lastly, while global liquidity expansion increases foreign portfolio investment inflows to Asian countries and liquidity recipient advanced economies, there is no evidence for Latin American countries.

This paper tests empirically the causal relationship between bank loans and the monetary base before and after the adoption of inflation targeting in seven Asia-Pacific countries using Toda-Yamamoto Granger non causality test and the bootstrap test for causality. The most striking finding is that the bank loans Granger cause the monetary base during the inflation targeting period in all the countries, except Japan, which was under the influence of the quantitative easing, whereas the causality appeared diverse before the inflation targeting regime. This result implies the need for the policy makers to take the endogenous nature of the money supply into account in the modern economy.

본 연구는 미국의 비전통적 통화정책인 양적완화가 수출 위주의 성장전략을 채택하고 있는 한국, 일본, 중국 등 아시아 3국의 실물경제와 금융시장에 미치는 영향을 경제이론에 근거한 SVAR모형을 통해 실증분석 하였다. 추정결과 한국과 일본, 중국의 대(對) 달러 실질실효환율 상승 충격이 실물경제인 경상수지와 산업생산지수에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 한국과 일본, 중국의 자국통화 강세가 수출품의 가격경쟁력을 하락시켜 실물경제에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하는 결과라 할 수 있다. 다음으로 대(對) 달러 실질실효환율 상승 충격은 한국과 일본의 국채 금리를 하락시킨 반면 중국의 국채 금리는 상승시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 한국과 일본의 경우 대외개방도가 높은 선진화된 금융시장을 통해 환차익을 고려한 외국인 투자 자금을 유입시킴에 따라 국채 금리가 하락하는 경로를 따르는 반면 중국의 금융시장은 대외개방에 대한 규제가 아직 강력한 만큼 대외적인 영향보다는 대내적인 정책에 더 큰 영향을 받기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 마지막으로 한국은 환율 충격에 대한 각 변수 반응이 일본과 중국에 비해 크게 나타났으며 이는 경제규모 및 통화에 대한 국제적 지위 등을 고려할 때, 한국이 두 국가에 비해 외부 충격에 상대적으로 취약함을 나타내는 결과로 보여진다.

As the zero interest rate era was over with the end of quantitative easing, the economy of several global markets observed the fluctuations of the base interest rate. Interest rate, which is the change of money value with respect to time, is negatively correlated with construction investment. Considering the characteristics of interest rates and construction investment as economic variables, the necessity of cross-border analysis between base interest rate and construction investment was suggested in this paper. Cross-correlation analysis between base interest rates and construction investment crossing the border was performed. The effective correlations were confirmed with values varying by countries. Similar characteristics were also observed among countries with similar economy, which were then divided into three groups. Additionally, identifying the base interest rate that affects the construction investment of a particular country was made possible by reflecting a self-cycle of base interest rates. Lastly, from the result of examining the influence of each rise and fall of the interest rate, it was verified that the difference was more than twice as large in some countries. These results are expected to contribute to construction-related policy makers or investors to make decisions in response to the economic status of the construction market.
