In recent research there has been intense interest in understanding how real option valuation (ROV) approaches might usefully complement conventional discounted cash flow (DCF) techniques. However, investment decision makers in a real world have been worried about adopting the ROV approaches mainly because of difficulty in technically understanding the theory of the ROV approaches as indicated by many researchers. With this difficulty in mind, we propose the opportunity cost model as another discrete-time model to value a deferral option. The main advantage of observing a real options value in terms of the opportunity cost concept is to provide a technique for practitioners to estimate a wide range of real options values without sticking to a financial option modelling. The fundamental ground for developing the opportunity cost model proposed in this paper lies in the work of dissecting the structure of the real options value into three categories: capital gain, expected opportunity loss, and expected opportunity gain. At the end of the paper, we will present a short illustrative example to demonstrate the applicability of the model.

With the emergence of new ICT technologies, information security threats are becoming more advanced, intelligent, and diverse. Even though the awareness of the importance of information security increases, the information security budget is not enough because of the lack of effectiveness measurement of the information security investment. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the information security investment in each business environment to minimize the cost of operating the information security countermeasures and mitigate the damages occurred from the information security breaches. In this paper, using genetic algorithms we propose an investment optimization model for information security countermeasures with the limited budget. The optimal information security countermeasures were derived based on the actual information security investment status of SMEs. The optimal solution supports the decision on the appropriate investment level for each information security countermeasures.

Recently organizations identify information security as one of essential means for gaining competitive advantage. However, they do not actively increase investment in this area because they consider spending for information security as a cost rather than an investment. This is because organizations don't have a clear understanding of information security objectives which can be achieved through investment, and they don't have criteria for alternatives which can be considered in information security investment decision-making. In this paper we propose to model the decision-making process of information security investment by the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). The results will show that availability is the most important criterion for the decision of information security alternatives, and intrusion detection is the most important information security alternative. We hope that the results of this paper provide a guideline for clear decision-making in information security investment.

This study investigates the facilitating factors of FDI (foreign direct investment) inflows in 15 developing countries of three continents (Asia, Latin America, and Africa) using fixed-effect panel regression analysis with 30-year macro socio-economic data. The facilitating factors of FDI inflows in each continent differed. In Asia, labor compensation, GDP, consumer expenditure, human capital, and export facilitated FDI inflows in decreasing order, as did export, total factor productivity, GDP, and human capital in Latin America, and investment expenditure, human capital, government expenditure, and export in Africa. Most importantly, the character of cost saving efficiency-seeking investment was very strong in Asia. Also, third-party export-oriented investment and economic growth-oriented investment were shown in Latin America and Africa, respectively.

According to the growing importance of science and technology policy, investment in research and development (R&D) has been increased. In this context, a patent as one of outcome of firm's systematic R&D investment is the way to hold a dominant position in companies' technology competitiveness and also to protect technology right. This study attempts to find the effects of input resources and intellectual property production activity on company value. It conducted empirical analysis based on 238 KOSDAQ-listed and medium-sized firms. Using the previous research, this study configurated research variables about activity of patent production, company value, and input of resources. Through these variables, it aims to know the effect of input of resources and activity of patent production on company value. First, the result of regression analysis shows that R&D cost has the positive effect on a patent production and sales promotion cost positively affects on the registration of the trademark. Second, the output of regression analysis indicates that a patent has the positive effect on company value but a trademark has not. With regard to the input of resources, R&D cost has the influence on company value but sales promotion cost has not. This study attempts to find the effectiveness of company's intellectual property registration on its value and suggests a way that the systematic R&D investment contributes the growth of company value.

Benefit-cost analysis is one of key elements of feasibility study on a large scale investment for transportation infrastructure improvements. Benefit-cost analysis requires measuring expected benefits after the investment is completed. Reduction of delays is the major source for the benefit among other measurable benefits. Measurement methods for delays reduction have been reviewed and two methods were recommended for passenger delay and aircraft operation delay. Using these method, the effects of Cheju International Airport Improvement Projects were evaluated.

본 논문은 불완전한 금융계약하에서 발생하는 자본투자의 외부성에 대하여 연구하였다. 계약이행의 불완전한 경우의 제약된 효율적 자원배분(constrained efficient allocation)의 문제를 풀었고, 완전 위험분담(full risk-sharing)이 가능하지 못한 경제상황에서는 자본투자가 양의 외부성을 갖는 것을 보였다. 경쟁균형에서 자본투자 한 단위의 증가는 경제주체의 파산가치(autarky value)를 증가시켜 경제 내에서 외부성을 발생시키는데, 이러한 외부성은 양의 자본소득과세에 대한 이론적 근거를 제시할 수 있으며, 정부는 이러한 외부성을 내생화시키기 위하여 양의 값의 선형자본세(linear capital tax rate)를 사용할 수 있다.

Despite the advantages of energy arbitrage using energy storage systems (ESSs), the high cost of ESSs has not attracted storage owners for the arbitrage. However, as the costs of ESS have decreased and the price volatility of the electricity market has increased, many studies have been conducted on energy arbitrage using ESSs. In this study, the existing two-period model is modified in consideration of the ESS cost and risk-free contracts. Optimal investment strategies that maximize the sum of external effects caused by price changes and arbitrage profits are formulated by market participants. The optimal amounts of ESS investment for three types of investors in three different market structures are determined with game theory, and strategies in the form of the mixed-complementarity problem are solved by using the PATH solver of GAMS. Results show that when all market participants can participate in investment simultaneously, only customers invest in ESSs, which means that customers can obtain market power by operating their ESSs. Attracting other types of ESS investors, such as merchant storage owners and producers, to mitigate market power can be achieved by increasing risk-free contracts.

본 연구는 오피스건축물의 최적경제수명을 Life Cycle Cost를 고려하여 추정분석하고, 이를 통해 최적경제수명 이후의 건축물을 어떻게 관리하는 것이 경제적으로 유리한가에 대한 것이다. 경제수명의 추정에서 초기투자비와 유지관리비를 중요한 요소로 고려하여, 여의도$\cdot$마포지역의 오피스건물을 대상으로 조사한 내용을 단위면적 당 동일한 가치로 환산한 뒤, LCC를 이용하여 최적경제수명을 추정하였다. 마지막으로 최적경제수명 이후의 관리방법으로 재건축 및 보수공사 시 투입되는 금액에 따라 5개의 안으로 비교하였다.

본 논문에서는 경제성 평가를 기반으로 하는 배전 설비투자 우선순위를 결정하기 위하여 배전계통 구성, 설비 및 부하정보를 이용하여 배전계통을 모델링 하고, 현 계통의 신뢰도를 개선하기 위한 방향으로 설비투자 대안들을 설계한 다음, 이 대안들을 대상으로 신뢰도 및 경제성을 평가하는 모델을 제시하였다. 이러한 투자대안들의 신뢰도 영향과 경제성을 분석하기 위하여 한전의 주요 배전설비(15종)의 신도율(시변고장율)과 설비투자시 영향을 받는 고객들의 정전비용을 적용하여 경제적 효과를 산출하였으며, 이러한 투자 방법론의 유효성을 검증하기 위하여 한전의 배전사업소 실제 투자안을 대상으로 하여 경제성 평가를 수행한 결과와 비교분석하였다.
