This paper analyzes how IT adoption affects differently on the shippers' make-buy decision, depending on the changes through agency and coordination problems. Empirical findings are consistent with the theoretical predictions on the changes of shippers' decision, summarized as follows. First, while the adoption of agency-cost reducing IT leads to the increase in the proportion of private fleets, the adoption of coordination-cost reducing IT leads to the increase in proportion of for-hire carriage. Second, the extent of private fleets changes depends on the primary product type that trucks load, with products of important service task experiencing more increase. Third, the extent of for-hire carriage changes depends on the truck's trip distance, with long-trip trucks experiencing more increase. With the results, we present different policy implications from the conventionally advocated ones.

This paper examines the difference in compensation structure between family firms and non-family firms in Korea. A manager's compensation is an important means of motivating a manager to make decisions for shareholders by mitigating conflicts of interest between them. However, the role of a manager's compensation can be weakened in family firms for the following reasons. First, a family member manager has fewer conflicts of interest, compared to a non-family member manager. Second, a family member manager has an intrinsic incentive to increase a firm's value (i.e., family wealth). Finally, a family member manager can monitor non-family member managers more effectively. For the reasons, the agency problem will be less severe in family firms and subsequently the role of compensation will be reduced. The empirical results show that pay-performance sensitivity is smaller in family firms than in non-family firms. The main result is robust to variations such as changes in family ownership, the definition of a family firm, and control variables. Furthermore, this paper compares the pay-performance sensitivity of Chaebol family firms with that of other firms. The result shows that the sensitivity is higher for Chaebol family firms, compared to that in other family firms and non-family firms.

With the growing penetration of distributed generation including from renewable sources, smart grid power system is needed to address the reliability problem. One important feature of smart grid is demand response. In order to design a demand response program, it is indispensable to understand how consumer reacts upon the change of electricity price. In this paper, we construct an econometrics model to estimate the hourly price elasticity of demand. This panel model utilizes the hourly load data obtained from KEPCO for the period from year 2005 to 2009. The hourly price elasticity of demand is found to be statistically significant for all the sample under investigation. The samples used for this analysis is from the past historical data under the price structure of three different time zones for each season. The result of the analysis of this time of use pricing structure would allow the policy maker design an appropriate incentive program. This study is important in the sense that it provides a basic research information for designing future demand response programs.

This paper examined the impacts of the welfare reform program, California Work Pays Demonstration Program(CWPDP), implemented in 1992. CWPDP was designed to move welfare recipients into the labor market by reducing the amount of AFDC grants and one-third earned income disregard. The evaluation of the policy impacts on the welfare recipients was conducted in two areas: employment and earnings. This study used a subset of a database created by the California Department of Social Services, and University of California Data Archive and Technical Assistance. The subset is composed of 3,936 AFDC-FG cases selected in LA County: 1,311 control cases and 2,625 experimental cases. The control group was kept on the AFDC rules as of September 1992, while the experimental group was subject to AFDC rule changes implemented under CWPDP. The analyses of the employment and earnings using the random effects probit model and the random effects regression model, respectively, indicated that CWPDP did not effectively encourage female heads to participate in the labor market. It also revealed that CWPDP did not significantly increase the earnings of female heads. The findings imply that the disincentive structure of the public assistance program is not the main barrier preventing female heads from getting jobs and leaving the welfare rolls. Rather, participation in the labor market and exit from welfare is mainly determined by their own demographic characteristics and the economic cycle. Based on the findings, policy implications are suggested on the National Minimum Protection Program in Korea. Those include a flexible exemption rate for the earned income of beneficiaries, affordable child care services, and guaranteed public jobs.

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) as a delivery method fully capitalizes on an integrated project team that takes advantage of the knowledge of all team members to maximize project outcomes. IPD is currently the highest form of collaboration available because all three core project stakeholders, owner, designer and contractor, are aligned to the same purpose. Compared with traditional project delivery approaches such as Design-Bid-Build (DBB), Design-Build (DB), and CM at-Risk, IPD is distinguished in that it eliminates the adversarial nature of the business by encouraging transparency, open communication, honesty and collaboration among all project stakeholders. The team appropriately shares the project risk and reward. Sharing reward is easy, while it is hard to fairly share a failure. So the compensation structure and the contingency in IPD are very different from those in traditional delivery methods and they are expected to encourage motivation, inspiration and creativity of all project stakeholders to achieve project success. This paper investigates the compensation structure in IPD and provides a method to determine the proper level of contingency allocation to reduce the risk of cost overrun. It also proposes a method in which contingency could be used as a functional monetary incentive when established to produce the desired level of collaboration in IPD. Based on the compensation structure scenario discovered, a probabilistic contingency calculation model was created by evaluating the random nature of changes and various risk drivers. The model can be used by the IPD team to forecast the probability of the cost overrun and equip the IPD team with confidence to really enjoy the benefits of collaborative team work.

본 연구에서는 주식시장에서 정보 생산자로서 중요한 기능을 수행하는 '애널리스트'의 이익 예측치 편의와 정확도가 증권사와 평가 대상 기업의 동일인 소유 여부에 의하여 영향을 받는지를 점검하였다. 소유구조에 기반한 증권사와 평가 대상 기업 간의 특수관계에 의하여 평가자의 행태가 달라지고 그로 인하여 불특정 다수의 투자자에게 부정적 영향이 초래되는 경우 적절한 규제조치가 필요할 것이라는 측면에서 제기된 문제의 실천적 의미를 찾을 수 있다. 물론 평판효과(reputation effect)가 중요한 역할을 하는 증권업과 애널리스트 시장에서 시장규율(market discipline)이 원활히 작동한다면 특수관계로 인해 왜곡된 정보를 제공할 유인이 사라질 것이며 별도의 규제가 필요하지는 않을 것이다. 분석 결과에 의하면, 특수관계가 존재할 경우 양의 예측편의가 발생하는 빈도가 높은 것은 사실이나, 예측편의의 크기를 포함한 종합적 상관관계를 고려할 경우 증권사와 평가 대상 기업 간의 특수관계가 유의한 예측편의를 발생시키는 것으로 보기는 어려우며, 정확도 또한 의미있는 차이를 보이는 것으로 결론짓기는 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 이는 적어도 현재까지는 증권사가 소유구조로 인하여 왜곡된 정보를 생산하려는 유인보다 정확한 정보를 제공한다는 평판을 지키려는 유인이 더욱 크게 작용한 결과 관측되는 현상으로 해석될 수 있다.

Purpose - This paper examines the explanatory power of the agency theory in the determination of cash holdings for Korean retail firms. If the agency theory holds, a firm with strong corporate governance structure tends to have low cash holdings. A strong governance structure makes the CEO of this firm to behave in the interests of shareholders and thus the CEO has low incentive to stockpile cash holdings, which can be easily diverted for the CEO's own managerial purposes. We investigate this relationship between corporate governance structure and cash holdings, by using corporate governance scores as a proxy variable that captures the effectiveness of corporate governance mechanism. Research design, data, and methodology - We adopt the sample of publicly listed retail firms in KOSPI market from 2005 to 2013. Financial and accounting statements are gathered from the WISEfn database. We also use the corporate governance scores published by Korean Corporate Governance Service. The relationship between the corporate governance scores and cash holdings is cross-sectionally estimated based on the ordinary least square method. This estimation method is widely accepted in the existing literature. The sample of large conglomerates, Chebol, and the remainder firms are separately examined as well, to account for the distinctive internal financing environment in these large conglomerates. Results - We mainly contribute to the extant literature by providing empirical evidence against the agency theory of cash policy. Unlike the prediction of agency theory, we confirm statistically insignificant or even positive correlations between the set of corporate governance scores and cash-asset ratios. Almost all the major corporate governance attributes including total score, shareholder rights, board structure, and the quality of information disclosure do not show negative correlations with cash holdings, which poses a strong challenge to the validity of the agency theory in the determination of retail firms' cash holdings. Conclusions - This study presents interesting empirical results with respect to the cash policy in Korean retail firms. Consistent to prior studies, I verify that the agency theory only limitedly explains the level of cash holdings. Future studies may obtain more robust results by examining a longer sample period.

해외직접투자는 기업의 장기적인 성장전략 차원에서 여러 가지 동기를 가진다. 본 연구는 현대자동차의 미국 앨라배마주 현지투자에 대한 사례연구를 통해 우리나라 자동차산업의 관점에서 미국에 대한 직접투자의 동기와 입지선택시의 고려요인을 분석한다. 이 논문은 미국에 대한 수출이 최근 호조세를 지속하고 있는 상황에서 생산원가 면에서 유리하지 않은 미국내 투자가 이루어진 동기는 무엇인가에 대한 문제 제기에서 출발한다. 조사결과 미국투자의 가장 강력한 동기는 대미통상마찰 완화였다. 즉, 수출의 상당부분을 미국시장에 의존하고 있는 상황에서 현지생산을 통하여 자동차부문의 심각한 한ㆍ미간 무역수지 불균형현상을 완화하여 미국과의 통상마찰을 회피하고 무역분쟁의 소지를 줄이고자 하는 방어적 차원의 전략적 동기가 현대자동차 미국 현지투자의 가장 큰 이유였다. 소비자에의 접근성 향상 등 기타 요인은 부수적인 중요성에 머물렀다. 그러나, 국가 단위의 선택이 이루어진 후 local 단위의 선택에 있어서는 여러 가지 입지적 요인들이 종합적으로 고려되었으며, 특히 지방정부의 적절한 인센티브 제공이 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 우리나라 제조업의 선진국에 대한 해외투자는 전통적인 해외직접투자 이론으로써는 설명할 수 없는 방어적 차원의 전략적 동기가 중요하게 작용한다는 것을 시사한다. 아울러, 각급 정부단위의 적절한 유인구조 설계가 해외직접투자 유치에 중요하다는 것을 확인한다.
