Abstract

This study examined one of the contemporary financial aspects, the level of corporate cash holdings for the firms belonging to the chaebols in the Korean capital markets. Being accompanied by various alternative econometric methodologies such as static and dynamic panel data model, stepwise OLS, and Fama-Macbeth modelm this research extended the preceding Kim's study (2015) in anticipation of validating the results to identify any financial factors which may significantly affect the chaebol firms' cash reserves. Several financial characteristics such as CASHFLOW, MVBV, REINVEST, and AGENCY, were found to be statistically significant factors on the level corporate liquidity, along with CCC as cash conversion cycle in the models. It may be plausible that any outcomes of this study may be applied to enhance the efficiency of financial strategies of the chaebol firms on cash holdings, thereby expediting the development of the domestic capital markets status quo toward the advanced one in the market classification.

본 논문의 논제는 국내 기업들, 특히 재벌계열사들 중심의 최근의 재무적 현안이 되고 있는, 현금유동성 수준에 대한 재무적 결정요인들에 대한 분석이다. 연구의 특징은 재벌소속 계열사들의 동 유동성에 대한 재무적 결정요인들에 대한 기존 연구(김한준 (2015))에 관한 확장, 심층적 연구이며, 이를 통하여 기존의 검정된 결정요인들에 대한 다양한 계량 경제적 모형들을 활용한 강건성 확인이 연구목적이라고 할 수 있다. 다양한 연구방법들이 검정에 응용되었으며 (정적, 동적 패널자료모형, 변수선택법, 파마-맥베스 모형 등) 연구결과 관련, 유의성있는 재무적 결정요인들로서는 현금흐름, 시가대비 장부가, 대리인비용, 그리고 추가적 설비투자비용 등이 판명되었다. 이는 기존의 연구결과와도 일관성이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구를 위하여 추가 투입된 잠재변수들 중, 현금전환기간과 산업더비변수들 (음식료업, 화학업, 건설업 등)이 종속변수에 대한 영향력에서 통계적 유의성을 보였다. 본 연구결과가 해당기업들의 적정 현금유동성 수준의 정책적 결정에 실증적 기준을 제공하여, 국내 자본시장의 선진자본시장으로의 진입 가능성에도 일조할 수 있기를 기대한다.
