  • Abstract: the Purpose of This Paper Is to Investigate
    THE ECONOMIC COST OF NUCLEAR THREATS: A NORTH KOREA CASE STUDY. Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how public announcements of a nation’s nuclear programme development influence neighbouring countries’ stock markets. The countries examined in this case study are North and South Korea. To test this relationship I conducted an event study using MacKinlay’s market model. Six announcement days were studied comprising out of three nuclear tests and three missile and satellite related tests. The findings of this research are in contrast to prior research. Empirical researches on the economic effects of terrorism suggest that acts of terrorism create large impacts on economic activity. The results of our event study show that the announcements caused both negative and positive reactions on the market. Author: Ryan McKee Student number: 6181066 Supervisor: Shivesh Changoer Date: 8th of Jan, 2014 ETCS: 12 INTRODUCTION Stock prices represent investor’s expectations about the future. News announcements effect these expectations on a day to day basis. Terrorist attacks, military invasions, nuclear threats or any other ambivalent events can alter investor’s expectations and so allow the prices of stocks and bonds to deviate from their fundamental value. Once such events have taken place investors often defer from the market in search of safer, more secure financial investments which can lead to panic and chaos on the markets (Chen and Siems, 2004). Such chaos can also be caused by threats from other neighbouring countries. A perfect example of this is the relationship between North and South Korea. Ever since the division of North and South Korea on September 8, 1945 the two bordering nations have had a strenuous relationship, ultimately leading to the Korean war of 1950-1953.

Marketing Specialist Report Highlights: The United States was the largest supplier of agricultural, food, fishery and forestry products to Korea, with a 20 percent market share in 2015. About 70 percent of food products in Korea are imported. Korea maintains a strong processing industry that manufactures a wide variety of processed agricultural and food products, which generated an estimated $41 billion of cash register sales in 2014, down 0.8 percent from the previous year. The Korean food and beverage manufacturing and processing industry are major users of imported agricultural products. The Korean economy currently faces another tide of challenges as the recovery of its major export markets has slowed under the extended global economic downturn and increased competition. U.S. market share should continue to increase under the Korea-United States Free Trade Agreement, which is expected to generate more export opportunities for U.S. food processing ingredients.

  • Evidence from Brand Royalty Flows Within Chaebol
    Business Groups and Tunneling: Evidence from Brand Royalty Flows within Chaebol Abstract This paper investigates the intragroup flows of brand royalties within large Korean business groups. We find that business group member firms pay a greater amount of brand royalties when the associated business groups adopt a holding company governance structure, consistent with the public allegation that chaebols tunnel wealth from member firms to holding companies that they directly control. However, member firms pay a smaller amount of brand royalties when their related party transactions (RPTs) are monitored, for example, when the firm is on (i) the watch list of an external watchdog agency for controlling shareholders’ unfair profit reaping from RPTs or when its board of directors internally operates (ii) a designated committee on RPTs or (iii) an audit committee. The results suggest that the alleged tunneling behavior of large business groups can be mitigated by external or internal monitoring on RPTs. Keywords: Brand royalty; Business group; Chaebol; Holding company; Related party transactions committee. Business Groups and Tunneling: Evidence from Brand Royalty Flows within Chaebol 1. Introduction Chaebol, which is a combination of two Korean words ‘chae’ (wealth) and ‘bol’ (clan or clique), is a form of corporate structure that is common in emerging economies such as Korea (Almeida, Kim, and Kim 2015; Chang and Hong 2002; Khanna and Palepu 1997, 2000; Khanna and Rivkin 2001). Chaebol member firms often pay a substantial amount of brand royalty fees to the group- brand name or trademark holder, who is either the holding company or the core/parent firm of the business group.
