This study exemines the roles of corporate social activity (CSR) and executive compensation structure on the pricing of seasoned equity offerings (SEOs) with special focus on the role of CSR in reducing the level of information asymmetry between managers and future shareholders of issuing firms through SEOs. This study also investigates the interaction between executive compensation structure and CSR on the discounting of SEOs. We use a sample of 2,102 seasoned equity offerings of U.S. firms with CSR scores from 1995 to 2015 in our OLS fixed effect regression analysis. The results show that issuing firms with high CSR are more likely to expericence a lower degree of the SEO discount. The results also document a positive association between CSR and a high proportion of equity-based compensation of issuing firms' executives. The findings of this paper confirm that CSR attenuates the impact of information asymmetry and the pre-SEO price uncertainty on the pricing of the offers and hence the SEO discount. Furthermore, CSR reinforces the impact of executive firm-related wealth on the discounting of seasoned equity offerings. It appears that firm-related wealth motivates managers to actively engage in reducing information asymmetry activities before SEOs, thereby decreasing the SEO discount.

Purpose - This paper examines whether fiscal and monetary expansion would affect output in Australia. Research design, data, and methodology - An extended IS-LM model which describes the equilibrium in the goods market and the money market is applied. The real effective exchange rate and the real stock price are included in order to determine whether there may be any substitution or wealth effect. The sample consists of Annual data ranging from 1990 to 2018. The GARCH process is used in empirical work to correct for potential autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity. Results - Expansionary fiscal policy reduces output; whereas, expansionary monetary policy raises output. In addition, real appreciation of the Australian dollar, a lower U.S. interest rate, a higher real stock price or a lower expected inflation would increase output. The finding that expansionary fiscal policy has a negative impact on real GDP suggests that the negative crowding-out effect on private spending dominates the positive impact. Conclusions - Fiscal prudence needs to be pursued. Real depreciation of the Australian dollar hurts output. Monetary tightening in the U.S. generates a negative effect on Australia's output. A healthy stock market is conducive to economic growth as higher stock prices tend to result in the wealth and other positive effects, increasing consumption and business spending.

Purpose - This study investigates whether a listing effect exists in cross-border M&As and whether the effect can be attributed to the uncertainty of the GDP growth rate in the target firm's home country. We apply a joint variable analysis using M&A announcement data from the Korea Exchange (KRX), Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), and the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) from 2004 to 2013. We also conduct an event study using the measure of the uncertainty of the GDP growth rate (based on IMF statistics) in 55 target countries. Design/methodology - We measure the abnormal return (AR) using the market-adjusted model. We test the significance of the AR and the cumulative abnormal return (CAR) using a one-sample t-test. We examine the characteristics of the CARs depending on whether the target company is listed by applying a difference analysis using CAR as a test variable. In addition, we set CAR (-5, +5) as a dependent variable to identify the cause of the listing effect, and test both the financial characteristic variables of the acquirer and the collective characteristic variables of the merger as independent variables in the multiple regression analysis. Findings - First, we find the listing effect of cross-border M&As in the KRX, SSE, and TWSE, which represent the capital markets in Korea, China, and Taiwan, respectively. This listing effect persists during the global financial crisis and has a negative effect on the wealth of acquiring shareholders, especially when the target countries are emerging markets. Second, greater uncertainty regarding the target countries' economic growth in cross-border M&As has a negative effect on the wealth of acquiring firms' shareholders. Third, our empirical analysis demonstrates that the listing effect is attributable to the fact that firms listed in a target country with greater uncertainty of economic growth are more directly and greatly exposed to uncertain capital markets through stock markets, than are unlisted firms. Originality/value - This study is significant in that it presents a new strategic perspective in the study of cross-border M&As by demonstrating empirically that the listing effect is attributable to the uncertainty regarding the economic development of the target firms' home countries.

This study investigates the wealth effect of foreign acquisition of U.S. based firms. Contrary to previous studies, this analysis demonstrates that after appropriate control of domestic-acquired targets, the wealth gains to the shareholders of targets in foreign takeovers are similar to those in domestic takeovers. This paper investigates the validity of the competitive acquisition market in cross-border takeovers and concludes that : 1) in cases of inward foreign direct investment into the U.S., foreign firms do not realize significant net benefits from acquisitions; and 2) the foreign acquirer is as well informed as its U.S, counterparts about the target's market. The results of this study are consistent with the view that each country has different motivations for investing in the U.S. market. Consider, for example, Japan. The evidence suggests that Japanese companies pay a considerable price for U.S. targets which have performed poorly before the takeover. While there is no specific rationale to explain why Japanese firms buy the most volatile and worst performing firms, international barriers may provide a possible reason for these anomalies. Overall, the evidence of this paper supports the view that foreign takeovers occur in a competitive acquisition market.

Household debt in Korea raises concerns about the resilience of the economy due to its size and quality. Against this backdrop, we investigate if household leverage matters for private consumption in adverse economic environments even without severe financial disruptions. We find that the balance sheet positions in terms of the leverage ratio may weaken consumption growth. We also find that the depressive effect of debt on consumption may differ across types of consumer spending and household characteristics. In particular, the effects of indebtedness have been much stronger in relation to durable goods expenditures than in other areas. In addition, debtors in high-income (wealth) groups have also shown downward adjustments in consumption even more so than low-income (wealth) groups. These findings imply that debtors' precautionary behavior may serve as an important channel from leverage to consumer spending.

본 연구는 2011년 가계금융조사 자료를 이용하여 주택자산이 자산 감축기에 진입한 60세 이상 고령자가구의 재정수지에 미치는 영향을 순서화된 로짓모형으로 분석하였다. 인적 사회적 특성 변수들 중에 연령, 임금근로자, 고졸이상의 학력, 수익성을 선호하는 금융투자성향 등의 변수들은 가구의 재정수지에 정(+)의 효과를 미치지만 가구원수, 미은퇴가구의 은퇴준비가 부족한 경우 등은 부정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 주거특성 변수에서는 아파트와 수도권 거주가 부정적인 영향을 미치는 한편, 주택자산을 소유하는 것은 긍정적인 영향을 미쳐 주거비용이 가계수지에 영향을 미치고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 경제적 능력과 재무특성 변수들 중에 경상소득, 금융자산의 비중은 긍정적인 영향을 미치지만, 금융부채와 소득과의 관계를 나타내는 DSR은 가구의 재정수지를 악화시키고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 총자산에서 주택자산이 차지하는 비중은 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 주택소유와 상반된 결과를 보여주고 있다. 이는 주택이 가지는 소비재와 투자재의 양면성에서 비롯되는 것으로 보인다. 주택이외 기타 부동산의 경우 총자산에서 차지하는 비중은 물론 소유자체도 가계수지에 부정적인 영향을 미치고 있다. 주택자산 소유가구와 기타부동산자산 소유가구 모두 자산대비 금융부채비율이 가계수지를 악화시키는 것으로 나타나 대출을 이용한 부동산구입은 가계를 위험에 빠뜨릴 수 있다는 것을 시사하고 있다.

OECD 국가들은 인구고령화로 인해 공적연금의 재정안정성이 위협받자 공적연금의 노후소득보장 기능을 축소하는 대신 사적연금을 활성화해 왔으며, 세계에서 가장 급속한 인구고령화를 경험하고 있는 한국 역시 주요국의 정책을 답습하고 있다. 하지만 주요국과 달리 한국은 가구 자산의 대부분이 부동산 자산으로 구성되어 있다는 특징이 있다. 전체 자산에서 부동산 자산이 차지하는 경제사회적 중요성으로 인해 부동산의 자산효과는 거시경제정책의 주요 도구로 활용되어 왔다. 본 연구는 부동산의 가격변화가 사적연금(개인연금+퇴직연금)의 납입액에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 재정패널조사 자료를 활용해 이원고정효과모형(Two-Way Fixed Effect Model)으로 분석한 결과, 부동산 가격이 1% 증가할 때 사적연금 납입액은 0.171% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 부동산의 가격변화가 사적연금을 통한 노후준비에도 긍정적인 것으로 분석되어졌다. 이러한 결과는 향후 부동산 시장이 위축될 경우 소비감소뿐만 아니라 국민들의 노후준비에도 부정적일 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.

Purpose - This research analyzes the effects of Korean family ownership characteristics on firm value. The positive and negative effects of family ownership on Korean firm value were analyzed. If negative effects are evident, this research explores the factors that cause a decrease in firm value. Research design, data, and methodology - The study examined a total of 5,743 companies listed on the Korea Exchange from the period 2002 to 2012 using a panel data regression analysis. Result - An empirical analysis suggests that Korean family ownership diminishes firm value. Korean family firm value has been reduced when controlling shareholders are participated in management and pursue excessive wages, or make the management entrenchment effects associated with ownership-control disparity. When the controlling shareholders of family firms have increasing control rights over the shareholders' general meeting and the directors' board, the agency costs associated with seeking increasing executive wages or private benefits reduce firm value. Conclusions - This study has significance because it reveals the negative effect of family ownership in Korea on firm value. These negative effects can be the result of agency problems from controlling family shareholders seeking excessive wages or ownership-control disparity.
