In this paper, the single-period inventory problem, what is called newsboy problem, has been revisited with two different conditions, uncertain supply and risk-averseness. Eeckhoudt et al. [5] investigated the effect of risk-averseness of a newsboy on the optimal order quantity in a stochastic demand setting. In contrary to Eeckhoudt et al. [5] this paper investigates the effect of risk-averseness in a stochastic supply setting. The findings from this investigation say that if ${\alpha}^*$ represents the optimal order quantity without risk-averseness then the risk-averse optimal order quantity can be greater than ${\alpha}^*$ and can be less than ${\alpha}^*$ as well.

This paper considers how the optimal export level is influenced by export risk, the degree of risk-averseness for exporting firms, and those firms' cost structure. In addition, export insurance is incorporated into some simple theoretical model to analyze the optimal export level. This paper applies genetic algorithm simulation to show that the exporting firms'risk-averseness do not affect the optimal export decision while export risk and cost function characteristic have relatively more significant effects on the optimal export level. Finally, our findings suggest that the most influential factor for the optimal export levels seems to be the monopoly power of exporting firms.

Purpose: This study examines the effect of full information disclosure on seller profit when there exists information asymmetry between sellers and buyers, focusing on the risk averseness of buyers. By investigating the interaction between product quality and perceived risk through online sales data, we attempt to figure out the incentive structure of full information disclosure specifically when buyers are risk-averse, so that we can suggest more feasible information disclosure strategy to sellers. Research design, data and methodology: Our empirical model analyzes the sales data of collectible goods from a major online seller using Poisson regression. In our model, we have specifically considered risk-averseness of buyers by estimating the interaction effect between the product quality and perceived risk on seller profit, aiming for a more precise empirical analysis on sellers' incentive structure of full disclosure. Results: Our empirical analysis strongly supports the effect of interaction between product quality and perceived risk, showing that the incentive for full disclosure is much stronger when product quality is higher, and vice versa. Therefore, sellers are strongly encouraged to voluntarily reveal product weaknesses when their product quality is higher than average, while it is more profitable to hide any product defects when quality claim is lower than average. Conclusions: This study supports the related literature by confirming economic incentives for full disclosure, and also supplements and strengthens previous studies by presenting that the effect of interaction between product quality and perceived risk strongly affects seller profit. Our unique finding supports both mandatory disclosure and voluntary disclosure arguments and presents practical implications to marketing managers by suggesting that seller's incentive for revealing weaknesses depends on the level of seller's product quality.

The electronic technology development have occurred in the face of existing legal barriers to legal efficacy of computer information goods, and the liberating promise of electronic transactions cannot fully realized unless there is predictability in the legal rules that govern such transactions. This study analyzes some theoretical fundamentals of the Act. First, it proposes that the Act clarify and set forth uniform legal principles applicable to computer information transactions. Secondly, it suggests that if the individual is risk averse, the acceptance set for electronic transactions will be a convex set, and that the application of the Act will make the acceptance set more expanded by lowering the probability of conflicts and by downsizing the risk averness. Thirdly, it also suggest that through the mothod of contingent commodities analysis, the application of the Act by means of its restricted regulations will give more expected utility than the absence of the Act. Fourthly, it derives some implications that the degree of legitimate restriction will be affected by the objective risk inherent to the electronic transactions, and the individual's subjective risk-averseness. Finally, it concludes that harmonization of restriction and protection of individual's rights in electronic transaction process will be a necessary condition for more efficient body of law from the law-economic perspectives.

기업들은 경쟁 속에서 성장한다. 경쟁은 성장의 기본 동력으로, 기업들은 경쟁 속에서 살아남기 위해 부단한 노력을 기울인다. Competitive rivalry-based theory에 따르면 기업은 경쟁 속에서 경쟁에 수반되는 위험을 회피하기 위해 경쟁기업들의 결정을 모방 한다고 한다. 본 연구는 국내 기업들의 투자 결정에 미치는 경쟁기업들의 영향에 대한 실증적인 연구이다. 본 연구의 연구 결과는 경쟁기업이 기업의 투자 결정에 통계적으로 상당히 유의한 영향을 미친다는 것과 이러한 영향은 기업 간 경쟁이 심화되면 될수록, 그리고 부채비율이 높아질수록 모방의 정도가 강해진다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 모험회피 이론에 의하면 기업들이 모방하는 이유는 경쟁에서 비용을 적게 들이고 손쉽게 정보를 얻으려하기 때문이라고 한다. 연구 방법론으로는 내생성 문제를 해결하기 위해 주가 수익률을 매개 변수로 사용하여 Two Stage Least Square(2SLS) 방법을 사용하여 경쟁기업들의 투자 결정이 기업의 투자 결정에 미치는 영향을 연구 분석하였다. 이 연구결과는 기업들이 투자결정하는데 있어서 어느 정도로 경쟁그룹을 인식하느냐에 대한 중요한 단서를 제공한다고 할 수 있다.
