Investors must adopt profitable investment opportunities to maximize their wealth. Almost all investment, finance, engineering economics textbooks explain that net present value (NPV) measures the profitability (or value) of investment opportunities in absolute size, and internal rate of return (IRR) measures the profitability of investment opportunities in relative proportions. However, NPV is a measure of the relative size of the return on investment opportunity to do-nothing alternative. Moreover, IRR can occur in multiple investment opportunities and may not exist. To make matters worse, IRR and NPV also have conflicting problems in accept-or-reject decisions. In this study, the reason why NPV and IRR cannot accurately measure the profitability of investment opportunities is identified, and fundamental characteristics that investment opportunity profitability measures should have are presented.

본 연구에서는 1998년부터 2008년까지 우리나라 거래소에 상장되어 있는 기업들을 대상으로 기업의 내적인 투자기회, 외부금융의존도 및 타인자본비용이 기업의 자본투자의사결정에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 기업의 투자의사결정은 거시적인 경제정책에서도 영향을 받지만 기업 자체가 처한 상황인 영업경쟁력, 자본시장 이용조건, 자본비용 등의 요인에 의해서도 영향을 받다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구에서 초점이 되었던 법인세율이 기업의 자본투자에 미치는 영향을 통제한 상태에서 기업의 투자결정요인을 기업적 측면에서 분석하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기업의 투자기회는 자본투자에 양(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 기업의 영업 경쟁력인 투자기회가 많을수록 기업의 투자는 촉진되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이러한 영향은 외부금융의존도가 높을수록 약화되며, 투자기회가 자본투자에 미치는 영향이 타인자본비용이 높을수록 약화되는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 기업의 외부금융의존도와 자본투자는 양(+)의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타나 외부금융의존도가 높은 기업의 경영자들이 자본투자에 적극적임을 암시한다. 그러나 타인자본비용이 높아질수록 투자기회가 자본투자에 미치는 영향의 정도는 낮아져 투자기회가 많다고 할지라도 타인자본비용이 높은 경우에는 자본투자에 저해요소가 됨을 암시한다. 셋째, 기업의 타인자본비용이 높을수록 자본투자는 낮아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 유가증권 시장 표본의 경우 투자기회가 자본투자에 미치는 영향은 타인자본비용이 높을수록 작아지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 기업의 내적인 요소가 자본투자에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다는 점에서 의의가 있으며, 향후에는 자본투자에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요인들을 밝혀내려는 시도가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

We use iterative numerical procedures combined with analytical methods due to Rapach and Wohar (2009) to solve for the dynamic asset allocation strategy for optimal portfolio demand. We compare different optimal portfolio demands when investors in each country have different access to overseas and domestic investment opportunities. The optimal dynamic asset allocation strategy without foreign investment opportunities leads domestic investors in Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore to allocate more funds to domestic bonds than to domestic stocks. However, the U.S. investors allocate more wealth to domestic stocks than to domestic bonds. Investors in all countries short bills at a low level of risk aversion. Next, we investigate dynamic asset allocation strategy when domestic investors in Korea have access to foreign markets. The optimal portfolio demand leads investors in Korea to allocate most resources to domestic bonds and foreign stocks. On the other hand, the portfolio weights on foreign bonds and domestic stocks are relatively low. We also analyze dynamic asset allocation strategy for the investors in the U.S., Hong Kong, and Singapore when they have access to the Korean markets as overseas investment opportunities. Compared to the results when the investors only have access to domestic markets, the investors in the U.S. and Singapore increase the portfolio weights on domestic stocks in spite of the overseas investment opportunities in the Korean markets. The investors in the U.S., Hong Kong, and Singapore short domestic bills to invest more than initial funds in risky assets with a varying degree of relative risk aversion coefficients without exception.

This paper analyzes factors affecting corporate investment decisions in economic groups listed on the Vietnam stock market. The panel data of the research sample includes 39 economic groups listed on the Vietnam stock market from 2009 to 2019. The Generalized Least Square (GLS) is employed to address econometric issues and to improve the accuracy of the regression coefficients. In this research, the investment rate is a dependent variable. Cash-flow (CF), Investment opportunities (ROA), Fixed capital intensity (FCI), Leverage (LEV), Sales growth (GR), Size (SZ), Business risk (RISK) are independent variables in the study. The model results show that cash flow and sales growth have the same impact on investment decisions of economic groups in Vietnam. In addition, investment opportunities have a negative impact on the capital investment decisions of economic groups. The remaining factors include fixed capital intensity, leverage, firm size, and business risks that have a weak and insignificant impact on capital investment decisions of economic groups in Vietnam. The findings of this article are useful for business administrators, and helping business managers make the right financial decisions. Besides, the research results are also meaningful to money management agencies. The authors recommend that the State Bank of Vietnam should maintain a sustainable monetary policy.

The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of growth opportunities on capital structure and dividend policy in Indonesia. The study employs panel data of companies listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange that distribute dividends from 2007 to 2017. Fixed and random effect regression models are used. Findings based on growth opportunities on capital structure and dividend policy in Indonesia are in line with the existing theory (i.e., contracting theory). Growth opportunities have a significant negative correlation with debt ratio and dividend yield, which suggests that firms with high growth opportunities are discouraged to generate debt to resolve underinvestment and asset-substitution problem. Firms with more investment opportunities tend to adopt a low dividend payout policy because the cash flows will be used up for investment. The positive impact of firm size on leverage is due to the low bankruptcy risk and cost of a large company. Profitability has a positive impact on the dividend policy because profitable companies can reserve larger free cash flows and, thus, pay higher dividends. The positive influence of ownership on leverage is interpreted by the unwillingness of majority stockholders to commit to equity financing in order to avoid reducing the ownership and preserve control of the company.

Despite the longing for democracy of most people, Myanmar has missed opportunities for social and economic development by military dictatorship. However, since 2010, the civilian government has gained new opportunities for reform. After turning to economic reform, developed countries such as the US and EU lifted the economic sanctions that they had taken in the past. As a result, it is growing rapidly compared to neighboring countries due to attracting foreign capital, tariff benefits on export items, and expansion of industrial infrastructure. Despite the increased investment value due to economic growth and democratization, the complex and customary land system of Myanmar must be an uneasy factor in securing stable land rights when entering overseas markets. Therefore, this study sought the method of securing the land rights in the development project through the analysis of the foreign investment system in Myanmar and the investigation of joint development cases. The results of this study are as follows. First, the acquisition of land use rights at the early stage of development can be considered through the foreign investment system. Under the Foreign Investment Law and Myanmar Investment Law, the land can be used for up to 70 years, and Under the Special Economic Zone Law, the land can be used for up to 75 years. Second, in relation to land compensation, it is required to establish a detailed resettlement plan for the indigenous people as the difficulty of land acquisition is expected due to the recent democratization trend and strengthening the voice of residents. Third, land use at the operational stage can be achieved by leasing the land from developers, and this will be the most realistic plan at present. In other words, the developer can directly develop the land created under the Foreign Investment Law and the Special Economic Zone Law, or Sub-lease and transfer the land use right to a third party.

As technology convergence is recognized as a driver of innovation, the identification of technology convergence opportunities is critical to expanding a firm's technology portfolio. Recently, wearable technology has emerged as an important factor in creating new business opportunities and providing technology investment alternatives for firms in the era of Industry 4.0. Against this background, this study provides a new patent analysis framework for identifying and proposing technology convergence opportunities in the wearable field. Using 8,621 patents filed between 2011 and 2021, a case study was conducted to identify technological convergence opportunities by applying Word2Vec algorithm. The analysis framework can be divided into four stages, with the final stage recommending potential technology convergence opportunities for a specific candidate firm's technology area by calculating similarities between technology codes. This study aims to better understand the current status of wearable technology development as well as to propose a new methodology for capturing technology convergence opportunities in the wearable industry. The case study result suggests that the convergence of healthcare and ICT may provide new development opportunities. Furthermore, the results are expected to provide alternative perspectives on the development of new markets and technologies using wearable technology and can support the strategic decision-making on future technology planning in the wearable field.

본 연구의 목적은 기업재무론 분야의 실증연구에서 많이 사용되는 성장기회 대용변수를 새롭게 개발하고, 이를 투자-성장기회-현금흐름 민감도분석에 활용하는데 있다. 기존 연구에서 성장기회의 대용변수로 흔히 Tobin's Q, MBR, 매출액증가율 등이 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 기업의 내재가치 평가모형에 입각한 성장기회 가치를 추정하고, 성장기회 가치비중(VGO)을 성장기회의 대용변수로 채택하여 기존 연구의 전통적인 대용변수들과 종합적으로 비교하였다. IMF 외환위기 이후 기업의 투자부진이 우려되고 있는 2000년 이후 2005년 기간 중 기업투자와 성장기회 간의 관계를 분석한 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전통적인 성장기회 대용변수들과 새로 제안하는 성장기회 대용변수 VGO를 모두 동시에 채택한 투자-성장기회-현금흐름 회귀분석 모형에서 검증해 본 결과, VGO만이 통계적으로 유의한 양(+)의 투자민감도를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 새 성장기회 대용변수 VGO를 채택하면, 여타 전통적인 대용변수의 설명력이 없어지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 국내외 선행연구에서 기업의 성장기회를 대변하는 변수로 일반적으로 선정되어왔던 전통적인 대용변수인 Tobin's Q, MBR, 매출액증가율은 성장기회에 관한 적절한 대용변수가 되지 못하는 것으로 해석된다. 둘째, 투자-성장기회 민감도분석에 있어서 투자결정요인으로서 성장기회는 시설투자증가율에 양(+)의 효과를 갖고 있으며, 이와 같은 성장기회를 가장 잘 대변해 주는 대용변수는 미래투자의 수익성(성장기회 수익률 추정치)에 기초하여 추정한 VGO 변수인 것으로 해석된다. 셋째, Tobin's Q의 3가지 구성요인 중 VGO(미래수익성을 대변)만이 유일하게 통계적으로 유의한 양(+)의 민감도를 보였다. VAIP(기존투자의 수익성을 대변) 및 VMS(기업가치의 과대평가오류) 변수들의 추정계수 값은 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 이는 기업은 기 투자하고 있는 사업의 가치가 크다고 해서 투자증가를 하지 않으며, 기업가치가 시장에서 과대평가되어 현재 투자에 대한 가치평가가 시장에서 높게 형성된다고 해서 투자를 증가하지 않는다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 기업의 투자증가는 미래투자의 수익률과 그에 기반을 둔 미래투자의 성장가치에 근거하여 투자를 증가시키는 것으로 판단된다.
