The purpose of this study is to analyze changes of innovation activities and their performance in pre-IPO and post-IPO of KOSDAQ IPO listed companies in medical and pharmaceutical fields, which require high R&D investment, from 2000 to 2005 in Korea. The innovation efficiencies of the IPO companies were measured before and after three years based on the DEA model. The financial data and patent information of the listed company during total 6 years, which were 3 years before IPO and 3 years after IPO, were collected. The main results of this research are as follows. First, it took an average 12.86 years until IPO in the start-up of the IPO companies in the pharmaceutical sector, and innovation was on average more active than the IPO before. R&D investment was higher than the IPO before, and the number of the applied patent during 3 years after IPO was 16.67 which was increased from 8.43 during 3 years before IPO. In addition, the average scope of technology of the IPO companies was expanded from 11 to 22 technology fields during previous 3 year and after 3 year each, and financial growth after IPO was lower than the previous IPO. Second, the financial performance of R&D investment and the performance of patent activity were weakened in the efficiency after the IPO, and the integrated performance from the patenting activities and the R&D investment was decreased after the IPO. Finally, the efficiency of the financial performance of the patenting activity was lower than the efficiency of the financial performance of the patent and R&D investment and patent activities under the R&D investment. In particular, the inefficiency of the firms' patenting activities performance after the IPO was caused by the decreasing return to scale, according to the results of this study. This results implicate that the expansion of R&D investments through the IPO had not lead to the financial performance of the market, and that the overall inefficiency since the IPO is due to the inefficiencies at the stage for the outcome of innovation activity rather than the output obtained through the R&D investments that appear to lead the performance of the market.

Initial public offering (IPO) has been well known to be underpriced initially and under-performed in the long run. However, whether an IPO is underpriced or not strongly depends on how to measure the fair value. This paper hand collects data of IPOs newly listed in Korea market when whether IPO is overpriced or not is clearly distinguishable. The overpriced IPO refers to as the one the underwriters buy back after the listing. With the data, the paper examines that IPOs are overpriced and that the characteristics are related to the underpricing at the aftermarket dates and the performance in the long run. The data of clearly overpriced IPOs are little available from other IPO markets like US IPO market. From the data of IPOs listed under the underwriting rule of market stabilization, the results obtainable are the followings. First of all, the average initial return 70% of the underpriced IPO at the aftermarket dates is greater than the one 40% of the overpriced one. The overpriced IPOs are priced highly over the mid prices of the price bands at the pricing dates and then supported by relatively higher subscription rates of individual investors. The probit analyses moreover report that individual investors do not distinguish the overpricing of IPOs from the underpricing. These imply that the overpricing is strongly affected by the underwriting rule on the initial pricing.

The IPO(Iterative Physical Optics) method repeatedly applies the well-known PO(Physical Optics) approximation to calculate the scattered field by a large object. Thus, the IPO method can consider the multiple scattering in the object, which is ignored for the PO approximation. This kind of iteration can improve the final accuracy of the induced current on the scatterer, which can result in the enhancement of the accuracy of the RCS(Radar Cross Section) of the scatterer. Since the IPO method can not exactly but approximately solve the required integral equation, however, the convergence of the IPO solution can not be guaranteed. Hence, we apply the famous techniques used in the inversion of a matrix to the IPO method, which include Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel, SOR(Successive Over Relaxation) and Richardson methods. The proposed IPO methods can efficiently calculate the RCS of a large scatterer, and are numerically verified.

본 연구는 우리나라 IPO시장에서 나타나고 있는 초과수익률의 원인을 밝히고자 최근 벤처금융의 중심으로 급부상하고 있는 KOSDAQ시장의 공모 IPO를 대상으로 실증분석을 시도하였다. 연구결과 상장일 표본전체 IPO의 초과수익률(AR1)이 9.91%로 나타났으며, 벤처캐피탈투자 IPO는 5.13%, 비투자 IPO는 13.29%로 나타났다. 상한가의 행진이 종료된 날을 기준으로 한 표본전체 IPO의 초과수익률(AR2)은 30.97%, 벤처캐피탈 투자기업 IPO는 24.34%, 비투자기업 IPO는 34.67%로 나타났다. 초과수익률의 원인을 분석하기 위한 8개의 변수 중 IPO의 수요증감 척도인 KOSDAQ 지수는 초과수익률(AR)과는 양(+)의 관계로, 벤처캐피탈리스트들의 능력 및 가치책정의 행태를 엿볼 수 있는 변수인 본질가치와 공모가액의 차이는 음(-)의 관계로, 사업규모나 자본조달의 크기를 엿볼 수 있는 공모금액의 크기는 양(+)의 관계로 1% 유의수준에서 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 여타 변수들은 통계적으로 유의성을 확보하지는 못하였으나 초과수익률의 원인이론으로 '신호이론'과 '투기적 거품가설'에 의한 설명이 가능하였으며 분석결과를 다음과 같이 정리할 수 있었다. 첫째, IPO 본질가치에 대한 신뢰와 IPO의 발행규모에 대한 신뢰수준이 통계적으로 유의한 결과로 나타났는바 이러한 결과는 기업가치와 벤처 또는 사업의 계속적 수행 등에 대한 신호역할을 수행하고 있다고 할 수 있으며 상장초기 초과수익률은 주로 이러한 신호역할에 의한 수요집중으로 발생된 결과인 것으로 사료되었다. 둘째, 노련한 벤처캐피탈회사로 선정된 KTB의 투자기업들은 상장 후 4주간의 거래에 있어 AR 평균이 음(-)으로 여타 벤처캐피탈이 투자된 기업보다 손실 폭이 더욱 켰음에도 불구하고 상장일 초과수익률 AR2가 매우 높게 나타나 우리나라 IPO시장에 있어 과민반응(fads) 현상이 존재하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 벤처캐피탈 투자 IPO의 초과수익률이 상대적으로 낮아 벤처캐피탈 투자여부가 IPO의 저가발행 수준을 축소하고 있어 벤처캐피탈리스트의 제 3자 보증역할이 어느 정도는 수행되고 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

Back-door-listing can be viewed both as M&A and an alternative to IPO. If IPO is an access to the capital market through regulations, back-door-listing would be the way of entering the market through trading. Back-door-listing can be a better choice considering the common wisdom that regulations hinder the functioning of free market system. One would, however, prefer IPO, for the informational asymmetry isless severe in case of IPO. This paper examines if IPO is superior to back-door-listing as to the informational efficiency. The excess buy-and-hold returns of the Kosdaq back-door-listing firms are estimated over the three-year-period since the event. They are compared against the excess buy-and-hold returns of the Kosdaq IPO firms over the same period of time. The results confirm this paper's prediction that IPO should be more information-efficient. Both IPO and back-door-listing firms start with high short-term excess returns and end up with long-term under-performance. However, back-door-listing firms show more significantly damaging long-term results. Furthermore, back-door-listing firms record poorer accounting results over the research period. These results imply that there exists fad at the time of both events and, in case of back-door-listing, this fad is reinforced by the possibility of window dressing.

본 연구는 1988년부터 1994년까지 우리나라 주식시장에 상장된 IPO 주식의 장단기 성과를 분석하고, IPO 기업들의 상장 후 영업성과를 상장 이전의 영업성과와 비교하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 특징은 가격제한폭 제도가 상장 후 IPO 주가에 미치는 영향을 고려한 점에 있다고 할 수 있으며, 실증분석 결과 다음과 같은 사실들을 발견하였다. 단기적으로 볼 때, IPO 주식의 비정상 최초수익률은 가격제한폭을 고려하여 측정하는 경우에 훨씬 더 높게 나타나며 또한 상승시장의 경우에 더 높게 나타난다. IPO 주식은 상장 이후에도 추가적인 초과수익을 올리며, 상장 직후에 과잉반응 현상을 동반한다. 장기적으로 볼 때, IPO 주식의 수익률은 시장 평균수익률에 미치지 못한다. IPO 기업들의 영업성과가 상장 이후에 현저히 악화되는 것으로 나타난다. 이는 IPO 기업들이 공개모집을 하는 과정에서 기업내용을 과대포장(window-dressing)하는 증거라고 볼 수 있다.

Using a unique data set from a sample of 343 IPOs during the period from January 2001 to September 2003 in the KOSDAQ stock market, this paper investigates how a firm's pre-IPO relationship with a bank affects the firm's IPO underpricing phenomenon. Contrary to the findings by James and Wier (1990) using the U.S. data, we find no evidence that a pre-IPO banking relationship can help reduce IPO underpricing. On the other hand, we find that firms without pre-IPO banking and venture capitalist relationship have the smallest abnormal returns. Our results suggest that the KOSDAQ market participants positively perceive firms with pre-IPO banking and venture capitalist relationship as good quality firms and demand more issues when they go public. It also suggests that in the Korean IPO market, there has been over demand for issues of firms, which have had pre-IPO relationships with banks and venture capitalists.

This paper examines the post-IPO price volatility in the first trading days after the IPO of SOEs that carry out equitization, on a sample of 76 IPOs on the Hanoi Stock Exchange (Vietnam) in the period 2013-2018. Oversubscription rate, firm size, issuance size, internal equity ownership, and listing delay are all factors that influence IPO price volatility in a primitive stock market. The results showed that the average initial market-adjusted return for the first three trading days was -11.95%; -9.58% and -7.29% and the level of price volatility is related to the rate of oversubscription and company size. Issuance price, issuance size, internal equity holdings, and listing delay do not seem to contribute significantly to post-IPO share prices. Individual investors based their valuation on information released during and after the IPO. In general, the number of IPOs that yield positive and negative returns in the first trading days is about the same, indicating that the two phenomena of undervaluation and overvaluation still occur in the process of valuing shares of Vietnamese SOEs for IPOs.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of VC investment on the IPO and post-IPO performance of Chinese firms. Design/methodology/approach - By utilizing CSMAR and VentureXpert database, we construct a firm-year panel data covering all listed firms in the Chinese stock market from 2006 to 2018. Findings - First, we find that VC-backed firms are significantly less underpriced than non-VC-backed firms. Our results show that the initial IPO-day return of VC-backed firms is 0.16% lower than that of non-VC-backed firms. Next, we find that VC-backed firms demonstrate significantly worse operating performance than non-VC-backed firms after the IPO. In the next three years following the IPO, VC-backed firms underperform non-VC-backed firms by 0.4% in terms of ROA and by 0.6% in terms of ROE. Research implications or Originality - Our results support the Grandstanding Hypothesis, among several competing hypotheses regarding the effect of VC investment, which suggests that VCs window dress their IPO firms for their early exit at the expense of a poor operating performance of the IPO firms after going public.

This study investigates earnings management of IPO firms in knowledge-based-industry. we analyse the relation between earnings management and R&D expenses(Research and development expense)which is an important expenditure in knowledge based management. First, we found that the earnings management is the largest in the year when the firm is enrolled on the market. Second, the IPO firms have higher DA(discretionary accruals) than existing firms on the market and the size of R&D expenses is larger, too. Finally, in the IPO firms in knowledge-based-industry, the higher accounting receivable and R&D expenses are, the more happens earnings management. Our study shows that the IPO firms of knowledge-basedindustry have high R&D expenses which are core expenditure. Also, earnings management has happened frequently in the IPO firms.
