The purpose of this paper was to draw implications for community economic development policies of Korean local governments by investigating the community economic development policies of the USA local governments. Those policies can be segmented to first wave(1950s-1970s), second wave(1980s), and third wave(1990s) of development policy. First two policies entailed some expense to community residents by providing low tax rates, tax abatement, tax reliefs, industrial revenue bonds, and direct state loans for potential companies. These policies brought ‘clawback’ and ‘drawbacks’ to the local residents. The third wave of community economic development policy includes capital market programs(predominantly government-financed loan programs and government support for predominantly privately financed loan or equity programs), providing information and education for small business in the communities, supporting small business by providing high technology and research, and export assistance-providing information/training opportunity how to export, sending trade missions, and export financing. Local government authorities in Korea should learn the community economic development policies administrated by the USA local governments so that they can avoid the potential try-and-errors in establishing, planning, and administrating their economic development policies.

This paper attempts to investigate the determinants of capital structure of Vietnamese firms and also shed light on some of the factors of the modern theory of capital structure which is relevant for explaining the capital structure in advanced countries which are also relevant in the context of Vietnam. Using panel data from more than 1000 Vietnamese listed enterprises census 2017-2020, the paper finds that leverage ratio of Vietnamese firms is significantly related to probability. The firms have high level of fixed assets which they use as collateral, resulting in higher debt ratio, which is in line with the pecking order theory. The result also confirm that highly targeted debt ratio is positively correlated with the industry characteristics (using real estate firms as a benchmark), in which firm operates. Furthermore, consistent with the trade-off hypothesis, the leverage ratio is positively affected by non - debt tax shield. The result confirms that a large number of companies are state - owned, will have an insignificant impact of firm's size (as reverse proxy for bankruptcy cost) on leverage ratio. We also find that there is no distinction between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises due to strict adherence to the rules set by the Vietnamese government. Distinct from other countries, corporate income tax has slight impact on capital structure in Vietnamese firms.

As Islam supports fair trade, the Murabaha is the most popular and most common mode of Islamic financing. It is a contract of sale between the bank and its client for the sale of goods at a price plus an agreed profit margin for the bank. The contract involves the purchase of goods by the bank which then sells them to the client at an agreed mark-up. While their characteristics and values are unique, they are also subject to conventional measurement of efficacies. This study investigates how the primary health predictors of conventional banks under the Basel III regime could provide a positive means to assess the Murabaha funding and subsequently secure long-term profitability. This study constructed a path analysis (from 120 databases) to assess whether Islamic banks' leverage and capital adequacy may alter the Murabaha funding and increase stock equity directly and indirectly. The research findings are mixed where leverage does not alter the Murabaha funding but only affects the profitability; besides, capital adequacy increases the outgoing funding significantly but does not increase stock equity. Murabaha funding is essential to Islamic bank equity. This study implies Murabaha funding are expensed, despite increasing debts in Islamic banks.

Purpose: The objective of this research was to investigate how blockchain ventures can optimize their wealth through Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). Drawing upon signal theory, this study examined the impact of technological capabilities on the performance of ICOs in blockchain ventures. Given the highly technical nature of companies involved in ICOs, the technical proficiency of venture companies can have a significant influence on the success of ICOs. Specifically, three potential indicators of technological capability - patents, white papers, and source code - were analyzed. Research design, data and methodology: To accomplish this, a database was constructed by coding the relevant variables from various sources for 514 companies that launched ICOs. This study conducted hierarchical regression analysis for the hypotheses test. Results: The results indicated that a blockchain venture with a patent had a positive effect on the performance of the ICO. Additionally, publishing source code had a positive impact on ICO performance. Conclusions: This study identifies crucial factors for ICO success, emphasizing the importance of technological capabilities. Companies should enhance these to boost investor confidence, transparency, and outcomes. This research offers valuable insights for businesses and policymakers in the evolving cryptocurrency market, aiming to maximize ICO performance and success.

This study closely examines domestic supplementary measures implemented for Free Trade Agreements (FTA) concerning the agriculture and livestock industry and finds out their problems and put forward improvement measures in terms of their system and contents. The systematic problems with previously established supplementary measures are as follows. First, the existing short and long term measures does not comply with each FTA's special and unique economical, political and legislative purpose. Secondly, they focus on improvements for individual FTAs. They must be holistic and integrative considering all FTAs, thus producing synergy to reach better policy overall. Lastly, FTA policies and the measures must reflect the expanding size and scope of regional economic integration. Problems or concerns in existing supplementary measures include first, flexible financing. The government hands out loans to players in the industry based on assets but these loans must be flexible to market interest changes and must include reduced mortgage rate options. Secondly, rigid standards that trigger direct loss prevention, establishing maximum and minimum loan limits, and developing a comprehensive standard for identifying crops to support are all problems that need to be addressed. Thirdly, education of next and future agricultural generation is paramount in building a competitive workforce. Fourthly, the government must identify industries lacking in performance or short in supply to cease or reducing funding. Last but not least, the government should actively search for new markets for export and produce long term road maps for export growth.

In many international financing transactions Korean companies are required to issue a guarantee. Thus far, however, legal issues on international guarantees have not been fully discussed in Korea. This is partly because most of the international guarantees are governed by a foreign law such as English law or the laws of the State of New York. In this articles the author examines major concepts or terms and conditions of a typical international guarantee, e.g., language on consideration, primary obligor, joint and several guarantee, unconditional and irrevocable guarantee, continuing guarantee, right of subrogation, representations and warranties, covenant or undertaking, currency indemnity, assignment, participation, governing law and jurisdiction clause, etc. For reference, standard forms of a guarantee and a standby letter of credit are attached to the article. In examining the terms and conditions, the author compares them with similar or equivalent concepts under Korean law. The author further discusses some Korean law issues that may arise under international guarantees governed by a foreign law. These issues include the application of the ultra vires doctrine under Article 34 of the Civil Code of Korea, the validity of an international guarantee which a Korean company has issued in violation of the guarantee ceiling set under Article 10 of the Law on Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade of Korea and the validity of an international guarantee which a Korean party has issued in violation of the Foreign Exchange Transaction Law. In addition, the author discusses some issues under a so-called independent guarantee and a standby letter of credit. In this regard, reference is made to the Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantee (URDG), International Standby Practices (ISP98) and the Convention on Independent Guarantees and Stand-by Letters of Credit adopted by the United Nations in 1995. Finally, the author examines major terms and conditions of typical comfort letters and discusses some legal issues, such as the binding force of the comfort letter. In dealing with the issues the author underscores that to the extent the issues are not properly dealt with by an international norm such as Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits or ISP 98, the issues must be analyzed by reference to the governing law of the relevant instrument.

본 연구의 목적으로는 정보투명성, 간사은행의 국적여부, 신용등급 등이 약정수수료와 어떤 연관성이 있는가를 일본에서 발생한 331개의 신디케이트론 샘플을 이용하여 분석하였다. 신디케이트론이란 다수의 은행이 차관단을 형성하여 공통의 조건으로 일정금액을 차입자에게 공동융자하는 것을 말하며, 일본신디케이트론 시장은 2008년 기준 $2830억 으로 전년대비 36%의 성장률을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구의 주요 결과로 첫째, 일본 차입자에 대한 정보투명도가 떨어질수록 은행은 높은 약정수수료를 부과하였다. 둘째, 차관단에서의 주간사은행이 일본은행일 경우 보다 높은 약정수수료를 요구함을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 일본 차입자의 신용등급이 낮을수록 차입자의 부채비용은 증가하고 있다. 마지막으로 은행들은 스프레드뿐만 아니라 비이자수익인 약정수수료를 통해서도 수익률을 증대시킴을 알 수 있다. 약정수수료에 가장 연관성이 높은 스프레드를 통제변수로 사용하여 위의 결과들을 도출하였으며 일본기업을 이용한 실증연구를 하였다는 점에서 본 연구의 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.

핀테크 기술은 모바일 뱅킹 및 지불의 핵심으로 대두되어 있고, 현재 우리나라에서는 전통적인 대면거래로부터 비대면 핀테크 기반 뱅킹 및 지불로 급격한 금융시장의 변화가 이루어지고 있다. 특히 스마트폰은 지문센서, 홍채센서 등 다양한 생체인식 센서를 갖춤으로써 본인확인의 핵심 도구가 되어 있다. 하지만 이러한 금융거래에 있어서 데이터전송 경로상의 해킹 및 파밍의 위협이 상존하고 있고, 이러한 위험을 회피하기 위한 다양한 보안체계 및 다단계 본인인증 절차가 적용되어 있다. 결과적으로 다양한 보안체계와 본인인증 절차가 위험을 줄여주는 효과가 있음은 분명하나, 상반되게 금융거래와 지불에 있어서 상당한 불편함을 가중시키고 있는 것도 사실이다. 본 논문은 이러한 보안체계 적용에 있어서 무선랜과 이동통신망 등 네트워크 경로에 따라 서로 다른 감성신뢰도가 있음을 확인하고, 네트워크 접속경로에 따른 점진적 본인인증 방법을 제안함으로써 사용자에게 신뢰도와 불편함에 있어서 효율적인 해결방법을 제안한다.

농산물 산지유통인들은 판로제공, 선도거래로 농가 위험의 전가, 금융제공, 영농활동, 노동력 공급, 물류, 정보 제공 등의 중요한 산지유통 기능을 수행하고 있으나, 거래 방식이 포전거래 등 비공식적인 절차에 의해 이루어지고 있어 투명성과 생산자 보호 장치가 미흡하다. 산지유통인의 투명성을 높이고 정부 정책의 실효성을 높이기 위해서는 산지유통인의 법인화 등 제도권 편입방안이 필요하다. 앞으로 정부 정책 사업은 개인 산지유통인보다는 법인 위주로 추진하고, 단계적으로 법인화를 추진하는 것이 바람직하다. 산지유통인의 법인화 방안으로는 먼저 산지유통인의 의식 전환 및 교육 확대가 선행되어야 하고, 우수 산지유통인 중심으로 농업법인 결성, 법인의 규모 확대, 품목농협으로 발전, 산지유통법인 계열화, 품목 전국조직 결성 및 자조금사업 추진, 산지유통인 법인화에 따른 정부지원이 필요하다. 특히 정부는 현재 지원되고 있는 다양한 산지유통조직육성 프로그램 등을 통해 산지유통법인을 육성할 필요가 있다. 산지유통인의 법인화와 더불어 포전거래 제도화 등 투명성 제고 방안도 적극적으로 모색되어야 한다. 포전거래의 투명성을 높이기 위해서는 거래의 공정성과 명확성을 높인 표준계약서사용을 확대하고, 포전거래 불공정해위 신고센터 등을 운영하여 포전거래 분쟁조정 기능을 강화시킬 필요가 있다. 또한 포전거래 증서 거래소를 설립하여 운영하며, 장기적으로는 엽채류의 선물시장 상장 방안이 모색되어야 한다. 결국 무, 배추와 같은 엽근채류 유통을 대부분 담당하고 있는 산지유통인을 법인화시키고 포전거래의 투명성을 높임으로써 산지유통인의 불공정거래로부터 생산자를 보호하고 농산물 수급안정화 정책의 실효성을 높여야 할 것이다.
