Purpose - This study aims to explore trading behaviors of individual investors in the KOSDAQ market, thereby explaining the low profitability of individual investors relative to institutional or foreign investors and comparing features specific to the KOSDAQ market with those of the KOSPI market. Design/methodology/approach - KOSDAQ market data, ranging from 2018-01-03 to 2023-12-28, is obtained from the KRX market data system on a daily basis. 12 sub-periods are generated by dividing the entire dataset into 6-month intervals, and within each sub-period, 25 stock-groups are established by the amount of individual investors' net purchases at 4% intervals. The analysis is conducted by comparing major information on trading behaviors across the sub-periods and across the stock-groups. Findings - First, the ratio of individual investors' net purchases shows a negative correlation with the ratio of net purchases of institutional and foreign investors with a strong statistical significance for all sub-periods, and it exhibits negative correlations with the periodic cumulative returns for the most sub-periods. It is also revealed that the low profitability of individual investors might result from the failure of choosing stocks, unlike the case of the KOSPI market where individual investors' low performance is related to the choice of the timing of transactions, rather than the choice of stocks. Research implications or Originality - The empirical results indicate that individual investors in the KOSDAQ market need to be more prudent in choosing stocks than in the KOSPI market, and imply that rediscovering the benefit of the diversification, especially for the KOSDAQ market, might be substantially meaningful.

우리나라는 2000년도부터 외국인투자 한도의 전면폐지로 외국인투자가 크게 증가하였다. 국내기업들의 소유구조가 급격히 변모하면서 외국인투자자가 주식시장 시가총액에서 차지하는 비중을 보면 40%를 상회하고 있고, 외국인지분율이 50%를 넘는 기업들도 상당수 나타나고 있다. 국내투자자들 사이에서는 외국인투자자가 선호하는 국내기업의 재무적 특성 또는 주식의 종류들에 대한 관심이 지대하다. 구미의 연구들에 따르면, 미국과 유럽시장에서의 외국인투자자들은 잘 알려져 있거나 지리적으로 가까운 지역의 기업주식 또는 투명하고 유동성이 높은 주식을 선호한다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 국내시장에서 외국인투자자가 투자종목으로 선호하는 국내주식의 종류 또는 국내기업의 재무적 특성을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 한국시장에서의 외국인투자자들은 자본의 시가총액이 큰 기업과 배당수익률이 높은 기업을 매우 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 한국시장에서 활동하는 외국인투자자들은 또한 장부가-시장가 비율이 높은 가치주(value firms)를 보다 선호하고 있는 반면, 부채비율과 최대주주 1인 지분비율이 높은 기업에 대하여는 투자를 회피하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Foreign investors'shares and their influences on the Korean stock market have never been larger and greater before since the market was completely open to foreign investors in 1992 Quantitatively and qualitatively as well, as a result, changes in the patterns of foreign investments have caused enormous effects on the interactions of major macroeconomic indices of the Korean economy. This paper is intended to investigate the causal relations of the four variables, foreigners'buy-sell ratios, stock returns, ￦/＄ exchange rates and $\yen$/＄ exchange rates, over the two time periods of the pre-IMF (1996.1.1-1997.8.15) and the post-IMF (1997.8.16-2000.6.15) based on the daily data of the variables. Granger Causality Test, Forecast Error Variance Decomposition(FEVD) using VAR model and Impulse Response Function were implemented for the empirical analysis.

본 연구의 목적은 국내 자본시장에서 외국인투자자의 감시자 역할로부터 발생하는 영향력이 글로벌 금융위기에 따라 차별적으로 관찰되는지를 실증적으로 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 2003년부터 2015년까지 총 2,919개의 기업데이터를 수집하여 외국인투자자 지분율과 기업의 자기자본비용 사이의 상관관계분석을 글로벌 금융위기 상황여부에 따라 수행하였다. 실증분석 결과, 외국인투자자는 일반적으로 기업에 대한 감시자 역할(monitoring role)을 효과적으로 수행함으로서 국내 자본시장에서 순기능적인 역할을 하고 있었다. 그러나 글로벌 금융위기 시와 같이 자본시장의 위험 수준이 극대화될 경우에는 이들의 감시자 역할이 효과적으로 이뤄지지 못하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 본 연구는 외국인투자자의 영향력이 자본시장의 위험 수준에 따라 달라질 수 있음을 제시하였다는데 시장참여자들과 학계에 공헌 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

International joint ventures are usually formed and managed by domestic companies and foreign investors for the common objectives. They offer an opportunity for each partner to benefit significantly from the comparative advantages of the other. Local partners bring knowledge of the domestic market; familiarity with government bureaucracies and regulations; understanding of local labor markets; and existing manufacturing facilities. Foreign partners can offer advanced process and product technologies, management know-how, and access to export markets. In Korea, joint ventures have been encouraged to usher in foreign investors with foreign currency capital badly needed during the IMF financial crisis. In the meantime, Korean laws and regulations with respect to joint ventures have been largely overhauled to promote foreign direct investment (FDI) both inbound and outbound. They include four types of FDI, i.e., acquisition of foreign stocks, provision of long-term loans, participation in joint operations like resources development, and establishment of foreign offices. From the legal point of view, the formal joint venture agreement must be an offspring of a series of tough negotiations between domestic and foreign partners. They usually stress the long-term relationship with the good will and dedication to each other, and restrict the free transfer of stocks. Both partners are earnestly interested in the ownership and management of the joint venture. So they keep a close eye on the articles of incorporation, changes of business environment, conflict resolution methods, transparency of accounting and other financial matters. When a multinational corporation (MNC) is involved in the joint venture, conflicts over management strategies, marketing and other issues take place more often than not between the MNC and local partners. We have to pay attention to joint ventures, particularly, in China and North Korea. As witnessed in other transition economies, China is eagerly bringing in foreign direct investments for the development of nation's economy. China encourages foreign investors to establish ordinary joint ventures, contractual joint ventures, solely invested foreign capital companies and jointly operated development companies with local partners. In North Korea, however, joint ventures have a different meaning like contractual joint ventures in China, in which North Korean partners have an initiative in the management. Rather, jointly operated companies or simply processing-for-wage companies are recommended in view of the unpredictable legal infrastructure in North Korea.

본 논문에서는 2007~2008년 및 2010~2012년의 글로벌 금융위기 기간에 외국인 투자자의 아시아 신흥국 주식시장에 대한 투자행태를 살펴보고, 주가 수익률 및 변동성 측면에서 외국인 투자자가 아시아 신흥국 주식시장에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 아시아 신흥국가에서 글로벌 금융위기 기간에 외국인 투자자들은 양(+)의 피드백 거래를 나타내었다. 그리고 전 아시아 신흥국가 샘플에서 수익률 상승기보다는 하락기에 시장의 변동성이 더욱 증가하는 비대칭성을 보였다. 또한 금융위기 기간의 외국인 투자자의 순매도 행위는 대부분의 국가에서 시장의 변동성을 유의적으로 증가시킨 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 글로벌 금융위기 기간에 외국인 주식 투자자는 아시아 신흥국에서 양(+)의 피드백 거래 행태를 보였고 외국인 투자자의 매도 행위는 수익률을 하락시키고 시장의 변동성을 증대시키는 유의적 작용을 했다는 함의를 제공한다.

해외 주요 주식시장을 대상으로 하는 연구에서 단기적으로는 모멘텀 현상이 관찰되고 장기적으로는 반전현상이 관찰되고 있다. 그러나 한국 시장의 경우에는 장단기에 모두 반전현상이 있는 것으로 조사되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국 주식시장을 대상을 모멘텀과 반전현상의 관측 여부를 다시 확인하고 외국인투자자와 개인투자자의 투자행태와의 관련성을 분석한다. 그 결과 한국 시장에서는 기존연구와 같이 모멘텀 현상이 없다는 것이 확인되었다. 그러나 외국인투자자들을 대상으로 분석한 결과 외국인투자자들은 국내외에서 일관적으로 단기에는 모멘텀, 장기에는 반전투자전략을 쓰고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한국에서 모멘텀 현상이 관찰되지 않는 것은 단기에도 반전투자전략을 사용하는 개인투자자들 때문인 것으로 추정된다.

The enforcement of commercial arbitration awards in the People's Republic of China is one the controversial obstacles faced by foreign investors in China. The foreign investor will fail to enforce the arbitration award, if the Chinese court refuses the enforcement in China, even if the arbitration tribunal rules the award in favor of foreign investor who is in dispute with Chinese partners. In Korea, we have not many researches in the enforcement of foreign related awards and awards ruled by other jurisdiction. In recent times, Professor Kyung-Ja Cha(2005) and Professor Sun-Jeong Kim(2008) analyzed the enforcement of arbitration awards in China. Professor Kyung-Ja Cha(2005) reports the details of the enforcement statistics of CIETAC during 1990s. Professor Sun-Jeong Kim(2008) analyzed the obstacles of the enforcement of foreign related awards in China. This paper extends their researches in the field of the enforcement of arbitration awards in China. First, this paper extends Professor Kyung-Ja Cha(2005)'s study by introducing the Chinese enforcement situation during the period of 2000-2007. Second, this paper extends Professor Sunjung Kim(2008) emphasizes the local protectionism and the weakness of judiciary as key factors of obstacles to enforce the foreign related awards in People's Republic of China. This paper, additionally, highlights the role of the Guanxi and the antagonism of court toward arbitration institution to enforce the foreign related awards in People's Republic of China. Third, this study provides the recent developments of Supreme People's Court(SPC)'s rules to narrow down the gap between the practices of international arbitration and those of People's Republic of China. The Implications of this study are as follows. First, it is desirable for foreign investors to appoint the CIETAC or BAC as the arbitration commission in China. Second, the local competent attorney is the best choice to solve the respondent's insolvency in China. Third, foreign investors is required to monitor the provisions on the electronic instruments such as EDI and Email in Chinese law.

Purpose - This study examines the information effect and trading behavior of investors for the 430 stock split data from January 2004 to June 2018 in the Korean stock market. Design/methodology/approach - The stock split samples are classified into two groups by split ratio as well as three groups by price level prior to split. We also investigate the trading behavior of investors categorized by institutional versus individual investors. Findings - First, we find a significantly positive information effect on the announcement day. In particular, the information effect is more distinct in the group of larger split ratio and higher price level of stocks. Second, we find a huge increase in turnover following the stock splits, which mainly results from the trading by individual investors. Also, the increase in turnover by individual investors is evident in the group of larger split ratio and higher price level of stocks. Third, the stock splits have a negative impact on the long-term stock performance. The negative buy-and-hold abnormal return(BHAR) makes no difference in the groups by split ratio as well as price level of stocks. Lastly, we find individual investors tend to buy splitted stocks, which exhibit the long-term under-performance. Research implications or Originality - The results in this paper suggest that the liquidity hypothesis is not supported in the Korean stock splits. In addition, we observe that individual investors are exposed to losses due to their unfavorable trading behavior following the stock split.
