The purpose of this study is to test the effect of business strategy on valuation error. Business strategy includes managerial decision making and managerial tendency. In previous research, there is a negative relationship between business strategy and accounting quality. In this study, we try to confirm whether strategy tendencies affected valuation errors. In order to confirm empirically between business strategy and overvaluation, we use 8,117 firms that between 2006 and 2017 and listed in KSE and KOSDAQ. We calculated business strategy which is introduced by Bentley, Omer, and Sharp (2013). We also used the overvaluation method introduced in Rhodes-Kropf, Robinson, and Viswanathan (2005). The results show that the more the leading business strategy is, the greater the value error becomes. In the case of dividing into leading and defensive companies, the lead firms showed a significant positive correlation with the valuation errors, while the defensive firms showed the negative relationship with overvaluation. This study examined the business strategy and the overvaluation. we confirmed whether the management strategy deepens the evaluation error caused by the firm characteristics. The results are meaningful that we extended the study on the quality of financial reporting of leading strategic firms.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of blockholder presence in the Korean stock market. This study examines previous theories and studies, points that previous studies did not examine, and proposes two hypotheses. To verify two hypotheses, fundamental data were collected from firms listed on Korea Exchange from 2005 to 2017. As explanatory variables, we use the factors and characteristics of the firms used in the previous studies. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to test the determinants of blockholder presence. We find that firm size is the most distinctive factor determining the presence of blockholder, and firm idiosyncratic risk is the most similar factor determining the existence of each blockholder. Tobin Q shows significant value in family and government, and R&D intensity appears to be a negative related to the presence of blockholder in financial institutions. We also find that the determinant of blockholder presence differs from the mechanisms that govern each individual blockholder type when all blockholders grouped together. This suggests that there is blockholder heterogeneity within Korea listing firms. Our findings contribute to investors and policy makers who interested in the determinants of the presence of blockholder and blockhoder heterogeneity in Korea stock market.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between regional financial development and corporate investment efficiency as well as the relationship between firm-level characteristics and corporate investment efficiency. Using a large sample of A-listed companies in China from CSMAR database between 2003 and 2016, this paper explores corporate investment efficiency and its influencing factors in emerging market on the basis of heterogeneous stochastic frontier model. The results show that: (1) the average investment efficiency of Chinese listed companies is 74.5%, and the investment efficiency of large enterprises, state-owned enterprises and enterprises with relatively high financial development level is significantly higher; (2) compared with average corporate investment efficiency in the year 2003, the investment efficiency of different types of enterprises in 2016 is significantly higher, and the gap is gradually widening; (3) enterprise heterogeneity namely firm size, nature of property right, and institutional environment reflected by the level of regional financial development indirectly affects corporate investment efficiency by influencing the financing constraints and uncertainty. The findings suggest that to improve corporate investment efficiency in emerging market, financial market should be accelerated, regional balance should be restored and the differences among regions, industries and differences between public and private sectors should be eliminated.

본고는 1990년대 후반 이후 한국기업에 급속히 도입되어 온 연봉제가 실제로 성과에 따른 임금격차를 가져왔는지에 대하여 분석하였다. 노동부 "임금구조기본통계조사" 1996년부터 2006년까지 100인 이상 기업 대졸 사무직에 대한 자료를 활용하였고, 기업내 임금격차 변수로는 개인 속성에 대한 영향을 배제할 수 있도록 임금함수를 추정하고 잔차의 분산을 기업수준의 변수로 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 연봉제의 도입은 기업내 임금격차를 확대시키는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 연봉제 적용 비중과 임금격차 간의 관계는 비선형관계($\bigcap$)임을 시사하는 결과가 나타났다.

This paper is a longitudinal study, comparing survey results between two time periods. A previous survey was conducted in 1999. After 10 years of the first survey, the second survey was conducted while utilizing the same questionnaire. A list of membership of Korea Institute of Heallthcare Architecture was used as a sampling frame. At the first survey in 1999, questionnaires of 27.3 percentage were returned, and 15.5 percentage in the 2008 survey. Healthcare design is one of the highly specialized design types in architecture. In addition, it is demanded highly specialized knowledge to solve healthcare design problems. As a professional service firm(PSF), architectural firm utilizes knowledge assets to provide design service to clients. Specialized knowledge in question is one of the core assets of PSF. The knowledge generates competitive advantages and plays an effective role as a marketing tool for PSF. However, empirical studies dealing with the knowledge characteristics of specialized design(healthcare) firms were hardly found. Thus, this study aims to trace the professional architects' perception of knowledge demands for task performance and architectural knowledge assets. The results can be used as a reference when a specialized firm in healthcare design initiates to build knowledge assets in it.

This paper examines the impact of foreign ownership on stock price volatility in an emerging market, namely, Thailand. The data were obtained from SETSMART, the database of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). After removing financial firms, banks, and insurance companies as well as filtering outliers, the final sample covers 1,755 firm-year observations from 371 nonfinancial firms listed on the SET over the five-year period from 2014 to 2018. The regression model consists of stock price volatility, measured by two methods, as the dependent variable, foreign ownership as the main independent variable, and firm characteristics including firm size, leverage, market-to book ratio, and stock turnover as the control variables. The pooled OLS, fixed effects, and random effects estimations are employed to examine the relationship between foreign ownership and stock price volatility. The results reveal that foreign ownership has a negative and significant impact on stock price volatility. The two-stage least squares (2SLS) are also performed to address potential endogeneity problem. The results still indicate a negative relationship between foreign ownership and stock price volatility. Taken together, the findings of this study suggest that foreign investors help reduce stock price volatility and thus stabilize share price in the Thai stock market.

This study examines the extent to which policy-based loans to SME exporters affect their export performance (the intensive margin of exports). We also investigate the heterogeneous export effects of policy-based loans that may depend on firm- and industry-specific characteristics, such as credit ratings, debt-to-assets ratios, firm size and age. To do so, we conduct a survey, of 1,000 Korean SMEs, that collect information on firm-level exports and policy-based loans. The main empirical findings strongly support that SMEs that receive policy-based loans tend to increase their export volumes. However, these loans' positive impact on exports are only valid for SME exporters with credit scores of 12 or greater (that is, SMEs that have difficulty accessing the external financial market). The estimation results with respect to SMEs' dependence on external financing imply that policy-based loans for SMEs in sectors that are heavily dependent on external finance are effective in that they are instrumental in increasing these firms' exports. These empirical findings emphasize the importance of the external financial market to SME exporters who face various up-front investments that are related to their exporting activities.

Small and medium businesses (SMEs) play a critical role in the economy, yet they are plagued by a shortage of finance. Determining the influence of cash sources both inside and outside the firm is critical to the company's survival and growth. As a result, the purpose of this research is to determine the impact of capital on the growth of SMEs in Vietnam. The key factors of this research are equity and liabilities, which are two proxies for a firm's capital. The data is based on the results of a survey conducted every two years from 2005 to 2015, which included over 2,600 SMEs in 20 processing and manufacturing industries in ten provinces and cities, including Hanoi, Hai Phong, Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Tay, Phu Tho, Nghe An, Quang Nam, Khanh Hoa, Lam Dong, and Long An. The findings show that characteristics such as equity capital, total workforce growth rate, and male entrepreneurs have a positive impact on enterprise growth, whereas liabilities, firm age, and export have a negative impact on enterprise growth. The study has demonstrated that equity has a positive impact while liabilities have a negative impact on the growth of Vietnamese SMEs.

Widespread public vaccination is one of the effective mechanisms to ensure the health and prevent deaths in societies. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine is a stark instance in this regard. Vaccine development is a complex process requiring firm-level capabilities, various infrastructures, long-term planning, and stable and efficient policies. Due to the global demand for vaccines during the pandemic, the national capability to produce vaccines is critical. To this end, the current paper investigates influential factors, at the firm- and policylevel, in the COVID-19 vaccine development process in Iran. By adopting a qualitative research method and conducting 17 semi-structured interviews and analyzing policy documents, news, and reports, we extracted internal and external factors affecting the success and failure of a vaccine development project. We also discuss the characteristics of the vaccine ecosystem and the gradual maturity of policies. This paper draws lessons for vaccine development in developing countries at both firm and policy levels.

본 연구는 창업후 상장까지의 기간이 유가증권시장 기업에 비해 상대적으로 짧은 코스닥시장 기업의 IR공시 효과를 검증함으로써 IR활동의 필요성을 살펴보는데 그 목적이 있다. 국내외 선행연구에서 IR공시가 정보불균형을 해소하고, 주가에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 기업특성에 따라 IR공시의 효과가 상이하게 나타날 것으로 예상하여, 기업의 규모, 기업유형, 최대주주 지분율, 본사 소재지 등 4가지의 기업특성별로 기업을 분류하여 각 그룹별 초과수익률의 차이를 분석하였다. 특히, 거래소에 상장되었지만 유가증권시장에 비해 상대적으로 소규모이고, 개별기업에 대한 정보의 부족으로 투자자들에게 관심이 부족한 코스닥 상장기업을 대상으로 IR공시의 정보효과를 살펴보고자 한다. 분석기간은 2005년부터 2012년까지 코스닥 상장기업 중 IR공시를 실시한 기업을 대상으로 기업특성별로 각 기업들의 IR공시 전 후 5일간의 초과수익률 차이를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 코스닥시장 상장기업들의 IR활동이 정보의 비대칭으로 인하여 선행연구에서 조사된 결과와 유사하게 긍정적인 정보로 인식되고 있음을 발견하였다. 기업규모(매출액 1,000억 원 기준)에 따른 초과수익률은 소규모기업에서 대규모기업보다 더 높게 나타났다. 벤처기업과 일반기업의 초과수익률은 벤처기업에서 더 높게 나타나고 있고, 최대주주 지분율(지분율 35% 기준)이 높은 기업이 낮은 기업에 비해 높은 초과수익률을 보이고 있다. 그러나, 본점 소재지를 수도권과 비수도권으로 분류하여 분석한 결과 초과수익률의 차이는 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 발견할 수 없었다. 추가적으로 기업특성별 상호작용을 고려하여 4개의 집단으로 구분하여 분산분석한 결과 기업규모와 기업형태에서 상호작용효과가 뚜렷이 관찰되었다. 일반기업집단의 규모별 초과수익률은 차이는 미미하였으나, 벤처기업군에서는 기업규모효과가 크게 나타나, 한가지 기업특성만이 초과수익률에 영향을 주는 것이 아니라 여러 요인이 동시에 영향을 줄 수 있음을 시사한다. 또한, 지리적 위치와 기업형태에서도 약한 상호작용효과가 나타났으며, 지방소재 기업은 기업형태에 따른 차이가 없었으나, 수도권에 소재한 벤처기업군의 초과수익률이 일반기업보다 더 높은 것으로 나타났다.
