본 논문에서는 회사채의 가치평가모형 중에서 기업이 목표부채비율을 설정하고 부채비율을 조정하는 경우를 고려하는 모형인 목표부채비율 회귀모형(Collin-Dufresne and Goldstein(2001))을 우리나라 회사채시장에 적용하여 실증분석을 하였다. 먼저, 본 논문의 채택된 자료 중에서 부채비율이 목표부채비율로 회귀하는 성질을 갖는 회사는 5개회사로 나타났다. 목표부채비율 회귀모형을 우리나라 회사채시장에 적용해서 만기수익률 및 신용가산금리를 예측한 결과, 예측치가 실제 값에 비해서 전체적으로 과대평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 예측오차에 영향을 주는 원인을 찾기 위해서 본 논문에서는 t-검정을 실시하였다. t-검정 결과, 부채비율, 자산변동성, 목표부채비율과 현재 부채비율의 차이, 잔존만기, 신용등급, 자산가치 등의 변수들이 예측오차 중 중간 값을 기준으로 예측오차가 큰 그룹과 작은 그룹 사이에서 서로 통계적으로 다른 결과를 나타내는 사실을 발견하였다. 또한, 부채비율과 자산변동성이 예측오차에 가장 큰 영향을 주며 회사채의 만기도 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 영업레버리지와 재무레버리지 위험 사이의 관련성을 살펴보았다. 한국거래소에 상장되어 있는 제조업체를 대상으로 1990년부터 2009년까지 20년간의 자료를 사용하여 분석한 결과 영업위험과 재무위험이 외국에 비해 상대적으로 높은 수준을 나타냈으며, 1997년 외환위기 이전까지 지속적으로 상승하는 추세가 2009년에 다시 하락하였다. 그리고 영업레버리지도와 재무레버리지도 사이에는 양의 상관관계가 존재하는 것으로 분석되었으나, 연도별로는 일정한 규칙을 나타내고 있지 않았다. 분석대상 제조업체를 자산규모 세부 요소를 기준으로 구분한 소그룹별 분석에서는 각 그룹별로 상이한 결과를 얻었다. 특히 재무의사결정행태가 레버리지도 수준에 따라 크게 다르게 나타나고 있다. 또한 외환위기 전후로 분석한 결과 영업레버리지는 외환위기 후가 높지만 재무레버리지는 외환위기 전이 높았다. 그러나 영업레버리지는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았고, 재무레버리지는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내고 있다. 이는 외환위기 이후 기업의 위험관리가 재무적인 면에서 강하게 작용하는 것으로 파악된다. 또한 외환위기 후의 영업레버리지와 재무레버리지 크기의 따라 주식수익률이 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Vibration control using a tuned mass damper (TMD) is an effective technique that has been verified using analytical methods and experiments. It has been applied in mechanical, automotive, and structural applications. However, the damping of a TMD cannot be adjusted in real time. An excessive mass damper stroke may be introduced when the mass damper is subjected to a seismic excitation whose frequency content is within its operation range. The semi-active tuned mass damper (SATMD) has been proposed to solve this problem. The parameters of an SATMD can be adjusted in real time based on the measured structural responses and an appropriate control law. In this study, a stiffness-controllable TMD, called a leverage-type stiffness-controllable mass damper (LSCMD), is proposed and fabricated to verify its feasibility. The LSCMD contains a simple leverage mechanism and its stiffness can be altered by adjusting the pivot position. To determine the pivot position of the LSCMD in real time, a discrete-time direct output-feedback active control law that considers delay time is implemented. Moreover, an identification test for the transfer function of the pivot driving and control systems is proposed. The identification results demonstrate the target displacement can be achieved by the pivot displacement in 0-2 Hz range and the control delay time is about 0.1 s. A shaking-table test has been conducted to verify the theory and feasibility of the LSCMD. The comparisons of experimental and theoretical results of the LSCMD system show good consistency. It is shown that dynamic behavior of the LSCMD can be simulated correctly by the theoretical model and that the stiffness can be properly adjusted by the pivot position. Comparisons of experimental results of the LSCMD and passive TMD show the LSCMD with less demand on the mass damper stroke than that for the passive TMD.

Purpose - Drawing on relational institutional theory, we explored how demographic similarity between board members of a firm and newly emerged political elites led to firms' increased financial resource acquisition such as leverage ratio and decreased export intensity amidst the Asian financial crisis. We also studied how a firm's leverage ratio and export intensity can further affect firm profitability and financial credit rating. Design/methodology - We revisited and explored a unique, unprecedented crisis that affected most Korean firms: the Asian financial crisis that coincided with a governmental shift from a conservative to a liberal party. We collected demographic information from 432 listed Korean firms' board members and 43 political elites of the Blue House from 1998-2000 to create a demographic similarity measurement. We collected firms' financial information, built panel data, and used ordinary least squares regression to test our theory. Findings - Our results showed that demographic similarity between a firm's directors and newly emerged politicians had a positive association with a firm's leverage ratio but a negative association with a firm's export intensity. A firm's leverage ratio had a negative relationship with firm performance measured by firm profitability and financial credit rating. A firm's export intensity showed a positive effect on firm performance. Originality/value - We highlighted that during an economic crisis that coincided with a governmental shift and change of leading political actors, firms exerted efforts to survey the environment and build new external stakeholder relationships to cope with the changing landscape. We proposed that in an emerging market like Korea where low levels of trust and favoritism are prevalent across society, one of the relational institutional strategies that firms can employ is the selection of directors with similar demographic characteristics to political elites based on factors including birthplace and school affiliations. We examined the efforts of firms to build political networks with newly empowered political elites during a financial crisis, and the consequences of establishing such networks. We highlighted that during a financial crisis, the demographic similarity between a firm's board members and newly emerged politicians can provide firms with access to financial resources but can also result in poor management and reduced effort to enhance its international competitiveness.

The research aims to analyze the firm-specific and macroeconomic factors that affect insurance company's financial performance. The research explores the variables that influence the financial performance of the United Arab Emirates (UAE)' insurance companies. The analysis for determining financial performance considers the following variables: the firm's age, retention ratio, capital adequacy, underwriting risk/loss ratio, financial-leverage, reinsurance dependency, and macro-economic factors such as GDP per capita, inflation rate considered as independent factors. The return-on-asset (ROA) is the key measuring indicator; it is regarded as the dependent variable for financial performance measures. The research focuses on secondary information obtained from insurance companies' financial statements. The researcher targeted 18 insurance companies listed on the UAE stock exchanges for study purposes. The research examines the overall factors that influence the financial performance of an insurance company. For analysis of data, software package of social sciences (SPSS version 20) is used. The studies used correlation and multiple linear regression analysis to determine financial performance and their effects. The analysis suggests that there are important and constructive relationships between the size, capital adequacy, and reinsurance dependency, while loss ratio, retention ratio, and financial leverage indicate a major negative relationship. And there's no link between GDP per capita and inflation.

In this study, based on the System Dynamics (SD) methodology, the interrelationship between the factors inherent in the operation of the New Technology Certification System (NTCS) in Korea was identified by a causal map containing a feedback loop mechanism in connection with 'new technology development investment', 'commercialization of new technology', and 'sales by new technology'. This conceptualized causal map was applied to the simulation of the operations of the New Excellent Technology and Environmental Technology Verification System (NET&ETV) run by the Ministry of Environment among various NTCSs in Korea. A SD computer simulation model was developed to analyze and predict the operational performance of the NET&ETV in terms of key performance indices such as 'sales by new technology'. Using this model, we predicted the future operational status the NET&ETV and found a policy leverage that greatly influences the operation of the NET&ETV. Also the sensitivity of the key indicators to changes in the external variables in the model was analyzed to find policy leverage.

본 논문에서는 이변량 구간 중도 절단 자료의 연관성 검정을 연구하고자 한다. Kendall's τ 통계량은 분포의 가정을 필요로 하지 않는 비모수방법으로 연관성 검정을 위해 빈번히 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서도 이러한 τ 통계량을 이용한 검정을 하기 위해 붓스트랩 방법을 적용시킨다. 일반적인 비모수 붓스트랩 방법의 구간 중도 절단에 적용은 편의된 결과를 보여주었다. 이는 구간 중도 절단자료의 불완전성(incompleteness)과 관련된 것으로 이를 극복하기 위해 지렛대 붓스트랩 방법을 적용하였다. 추정된 분포에 근거하여 구간 중도 절단 대신 모의 완전한 표본(pseudo complete data)을 추룰하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 재표본의 크기 m을 결정하기 위해 기존 연구자의 공식을 이용하였다. 시행된 모의 실험의 결과는 바람직한 제 1종 오류값과 좋은 검정력을 보였주었으며 실제 적용 예로 AIDS 자료에서 HIV 감염시점과 바이러스 잠복 시간과의 연관성 여부를 검정해보았다.

End-to-end network delay plays an vital role in distributed services. This delay is used to measure QoS (Quality-of-Service). It would be beneficial to know all node-pair delay information, but unfortunately it is not feasible in practice because the use of active probing will cause a quadratic growth in overhead. Alternatively, using the measured network delay to estimate the unknown network delay is an economical method. In this paper, we adopt the state-of-the-art matrix completion technology to better estimate the network delay from limited measurements. Although the number of measurements required for an exact matrix completion is theoretically bounded, it is practically less helpful. Therefore, we propose an online adaptive sampling algorithm to measure network delay in which statistical leverage scores are used to select potential matrix elements. The basic principle behind is to sample the elements with larger leverage scores to keep the traits of important rows or columns in the matrix. The amount of samples is adaptively decided by a proposed stopping condition. Simulation results based on real delay matrix show that compared with the traditional sampling algorithm, our proposed sampling algorithm can provide better performance (smaller estimation error and less convergence pressure) at a lower cost (fewer samples and shorter processing time).

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.
