Purpose - Since the 2020s, the management philosophy of Chinese firms' ESG has been rapidly established under the leadership of the Chinese government. We empirically analyze the ESG characteristics and effects on corporate value of Chinese firms. Design/methodology/approach - Using OLS and random effect panel regression analysis, we identify ESG determinants. In analyzing the impact on corporate value, likewise a large number of literatures, we adopt a 2SLS methodology using instrumental variables in the reason of endogeneity between ESG and firm value. We analyze using the G2SLS methodology, which is improving the efficiency of the estimation coefficients along with 2SLS. Findings - We find that ESG ratings are high in state-owned and foreign capital invested companies, ESG ratings are low in companies with a high proportion of non-floating stocks which implies information asymmetry. However, there are no significance in the institutional investor's, the major 10 largest shareholders' and manager's ownership. Furthermore, we can support most of the hypotheses that ESG ratings will be high in companies with high management performance. ESG ratings are significantly higher in companies with high ROA, rich in cash asset, low debt ratio, and large size. we strongly support the hypothesis that the higher the ESG rating, the higher the firm value, and ESG has a moderating effect on state-owned companies, non-floating shares, the ownership of institutional investors, manager, and the 10 major shareholder. In particular, state-owned companies, the proportion of non-floating shares, and the ownership of the 10 major shareholders have a negative impact on firm value, however, ESG attenuates this negative effect. Research implications or Originality - This study looks forward to enhancing our understanding of ESG characteristics in East Asia.

This paper examines the relationship between ownership structure and level cash holdings in an emerging country, namely, Saudi Arabia, by constructing a corporate governance mechanism (foreign ownership, family ownership, institutional and managerial ownership). This paper uses data from 100 listed firms at Saudi Stock Exchange (TADAWUL) from 2011 to 2019. The firm's decision to hold cash has come to the fore in the last two or three years as a result of the recent global financial crisis, and the impact that this has had on the firms' ability to raise funds from external sources. Using the random-effect generalized least square (GLS) regression model, the findings reveal that foreign and family ownership negatively influences cash holdings, while managerial ownership has a positive association with cash holdings. Further, institutional ownership did not have a direct effect on cash holdings in Saudi Arabia. Our results suggest that ownership structure include foreign ownership, family and managerial ownership is an essential vehicle to promote the performance of cash holding of all the 100 public-listed non-financial firms in Saudi Arabia. We recommend that sound policies should be targeted toward foreign ownership, family, and managerial ownership since they are essential to improve cash holding in Saudi Arabian firms.

본 연구는 1997년 1월 1일부터 2008년 12월 31일까지 한국거래소의 유가증권시장과 코스닥시장에 상장된 기업을 대상으로 소유구조와 현금보유간의 관계를 실증분석 하였으며, 주요한 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 대주주 지분율이 클수록 대주주들이 이사회 참여를 통한 경영권 통제 등을 통하여 수익성이 낮은 현금보유를 증가시키는 방향으로 소액주주의 이익을 침해할 수 있다. 1대주주와 2대주주 간의 지분율 차이가 증가할수록, 그리고 대주주들 간의 소유집중도가 증가할수록 현금보유가 증가한다. 그리고 경영자지분율은 현금보유에 비선형적으로 영향을 미친다. 다시 말해, 경영자지분율이 낮은 단계에서는 이익침해가설에 따라 현금보유에 양(+)의 영향을 미치지만, 경영자지분율이 일정 수준 이상으로 증가하면 이해일치가설에 따라 음(-)의 영향을 미치며, 경영자지분율이 매우 높은 수준으로 증가하면 다시 이익침해가설에 따라 양(+)의 영향을 미친다. 그리고 소유자지배기업은 경영자지배기업보다 대주주들이 현금보유에 미치는 영향력이 상대적으로 증가하여 현금보유를 증가시킬 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 한국기업의 현금보유는 주로 상충이론과 자금조달순서 이론으로 설명할 수 있으나, 대리인 이론으로도 부분적으로 설명할 수 있으며, 이는 대주주들이 소액주주와 균등한 혜택이 분배되는 재무정책을 기피하고 소액주주의 희생 하에 사적 이익을 취할 가능성이 있음을 시사한다. 따라서 우리나라에서도 대주주가 소액주주의 이익을 침해하는 행위를 예방하고, 소액주주의 이익을 보호할 수 있는 제도적 장치와 소유집중도를 완화시킬 수 있는 소유구조 정책이 필요하다고 생각한다.

This paper analyzes the determinants of firm's innovative activity, using Korean Innovation Survey (KIS) dataset. Especially, we focused on the role of external networks by partners(other firms or research institutions) in performing innovative activities. The product innovation, product improvement, and process innovation are used as proxies for innovative activity. The explanatory variables such as market concentration ratio, lagged profitability, foreign ownership, export ratio, firm's age, formal R&D activity, and industrial R&D intensity are also considered. With data from 1,124 firms for the two years (2000-2001), we estimated the logistic regression model. The finding is that the determinants of firm's innovative activities differ by type of innovations. We also found that the innovative behavior of SMEs differs from that of large firms. The result confirms that external networks have a strong positive effect on innovative activity. However, the network effects by partners vary across both firm size and type of innovations.

According to Resource Dependence theory, an organization's behavior and strategy is affected by external resources. An organization has diverse resources interacting with environment. Because organization cannot focus on all those resources, it concentrates on its critical resources. In market environment, firm responds to other firms by controlling their internal critical resources or manages interdependency with environment to get market share. Thus Firm should choose best behavior and strategy when internal and external resources are change. When new brand enters, incumbents might change their strategy to protect their market share depending on critical value. More precisely, incumbents sharing market with entrant respond, but incumbents having competitive internal resources do not. In this article, we study incumbent's responses to a new brand entry and long-term effect. We show that how incumbents change their price strategy in reaction to the new brand' entry and also show these responses vary depending on interdependency of internal resources and external environments and ownership.

Firms pay cash dividends to reduce the agency costs, and then insider stock ownership affects the dicision of dividend payout ratio. In this study, it is tested that firm's insider stock ownership affects the decision of dividend payout ratio, but the relation between dividend payout ratio and insider stock ownership is nonmonostic. The empirical evidence shows that at low levels of insider stock ownership, increase in the percentage of stock held by insiders decreases dividend payout ratio, but beyond the point of entrenchment increase in the percentage of stock held by insiders increases dividend payout ratio. Thus, the dividend payout ratio and the percentage of stock held by insiders are in a parabolic relation. This implies that there may be a optimal insider stock ownership In lead to the minimun dividend payout ratio.

This is a quantitative research, underpinned by the philosophy of natural science and deduction approach that examines the impact of the various aspects of corporate governance mechanism on the choice of capital structure of Vietnamese listed firms. We focus on the effect of factors such as the board size, the board independence, and especially different ownership structures, which include the managerial ownership, the state ownership, the concentrated ownership, and the foreign ownership. They are the main scopes of corporate governance and are supposed to be relevant to determine the corporate financing choice. To explain the causal relationship between factors, we construct the regression model and then test it by using different statistical method approaches, including the pooled OLS, the fixed effects model, and the random effects model. Data are collected from 336 firms with shares listed in the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange in Vietnam, totaling 1583 observations. Overall, the results reveal that the board size, state ownership, and concentrated ownership have positive impact on the firm's capital structure, whereas foreign ownership appears to have negative influence on the capital structure. The research does not find evidence of a the correlation between board independence, managerial ownership and corporate capital struture.

This research extends the literature on the effect of board characteristics and ownership structure on audit fees; these factors affect the firm's agency costs and how the auditor assesses various risks, hence the audit efforts and fees. The paper introduces political connections as a determinant of audit fees for the first time in Jordan, where the political connection is prevalent and affects decision making on the Jordanian boards. The sample consists of 109 manufacturing and service firms listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) over the years 2012-2019. Data is obtained from the ASE and the company's annual reports. Board characteristics are measured by board size, independence, leadership duality, meetings frequency, political connections, and audit committee. Ownership structure was measured by concentration, foreign ownership, and Institutional ownership. The study hypotheses were tested by using Generalized Least Squares regression. The Findings showed that larger boards, politically connected firms, and firms with leadership duality are more likely to pay higher fees. Besides, Firms with greater foreign ownership pay less fees, whereas the rest of the variables are insignificant. Results suggest that political connections play a major role in determining audit fees; this provides a recommendation to policymakers in Jordan to reconsider regulations regarding political connections.

어떤 자산에 대한 소유권은 그에 대한 잔여 지배권 또는 그 자산으로부터 나오는 잔여 수익에 대한 청구권으로 정의될 수 있다. 이렇게 정의된 소유권의 개념은 대부분의 단순한 자산에 적용할 경우에는 별 문제가 없다. 그러나 소유권을 정의하고 있는 "잔여 지배권"과 "잔여 수익"의 개념은 여러 자산이 복잡하게 읽혀 있는 기업의 경우에 적용하려고 하면 그렇게 명확하지가 않다. 소유권의 개념에 이런 한계가 있음에도 불구하고 이 소유권이 기업의 이해 관계자들로 하여금 사람들이 그들이 소유하고 있는 자산의 가치를 유지 또는 증식시키려고 하는 유인이 된다는 것은 분명하다. 이 논문에서는 이렇게 정의된 소유권의 개념을 가지고 기업의 재무 구조, 소유권 및 지배력 구조의 관계를 규명해 보고자 했다. 기업에서 발행한 여러 재무 증권들이 단순히 기업의 순소득의 일부분에 대한 청구권만을 의미하는 것은 아니고, 직접 또는 간접적인 여러 가지 방법으로 기업의 지배력에 영향을 미치게 된다. 기업의 잔여 수익에 대한 청구권과 잔여 지배력을 잘 배분하면 여러 이해 관계자들에게 기업의 가치를 증대시킬 수 있는 유인을 만들어 낼 수 있을 것이다. 주식회사의 경우 주주, 채권자 및 경영자들은 각기 서로 다른 이해관계를 갖고 있다. 기업의 재무 구조는 이렇게 서로 다른 이해 관계를 갖고 있는 사람들에게 다른 유인을 제공함으로써 그들의 행태에 영향을 미친다. 또한 경영자들과 투자자들 사이에 존재하는 정보의 비대칭성 때문에 경영자들이 결정하는 자금의 조달방법은 투자자들에게 신호로서 작용을 하게 되고, 이는 주식 가격의 변동을 통해서 결국 기업의 가치에도 영향을 미치게 된다.

12월 결산 코스닥상장법인을 대상으로 대주주지분과 기업성과의 관계를 규명하기위해 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 회귀분석은 기업성과를 시장성과와 회계성과로 나누어 실시하였다. 시장성과의 경우 회귀분석결과, 대다수의 국내 선행연구가 지지하는 U자형 절충가설이 코스닥상장법인에게는 적용되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 회계성과의 대용변수인 ROA (Return on Assets)와 대주주 지분율의 관계는 역U자의 형태와 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 보다 정확한 검증을 위해 강건성 검정을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 회계성과로 대주주 지분과 기업성과의 관계를 분석할 경우 대주주 지분율 0-50%구간 까지는 이해일치 가설을 지지하지만 50%이상 구간에서는 대주주 지분율과 회계성과의 관계가 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.
