Speculation Sentiment in Korea

This study measures speculative sentiment in the Korean stock market using the primary market of leverage exchange-traded funds (ETFs.) In the ETFs’ primary market, observable arbitrage activity corrects the mispricing between ETF shares and underlying assets. This arbitrage activity in the leveraged ETFs proxies for the scale and direction of speculative demand shocks. I have constructed a Korean version of the speculative sentiment index using a sample of leveraged ETFs that track the KOSPI200 index. The index shows a negative correlation with contemporaneous market returns and negatively predicts returns after 3 months. Additionally, I introduce a novel speculation sentiment index that considers investor-specific trading data and verify that the above results are primarily driven by speculative demand shocks initiated by individual investors. Compared to a study conducted on the U.S. stock market, this result shows that the Korean stock market experiences a relatively slower process of price reversion to its fundamental value after speculative demand shocks.

The effect of anti-national sentiment on agricultural trade in Korea: Focusing on China and Japan

The purpose of this study is to find out how the spread of anti-national sentiment affects Korea s agricultural trade with China and Japan. For this purpose, ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model) was used to capture the characteristics of anti-national sentiment variables with cumulative effects. As a result of empirical analysis, the anti-national sentiment has been shown to play a role as a impediment to agricultural trade. More specifically, at the rate of reaction of the anti-national sentiment leading to a reduction in consumption of agricultural products imported from Korea, the reaction rate of Japan was analyzed to be faster than that of China. Furthermore, it was analyzed that the decrease in consumption of Chinese agricultural products due to anti-Chinese sentiment is much larger than that of Japanese agricultural products due to anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea.

Crossing Borders: Foreign Investment and Sentiment in Korea

ABSTRACTThis study examines the effect of global investor sentiment on capital inflows in the Korean stock and bond markets using textual analysis. First, we conclude that global investor sentiment about Korea causes fluctuations in capital inflows to the Korean stock market. Second, global investor sentiment about Korea causes foreign investors to modify their investments but not by enough to cause drastic changes. Third, positive sentiment about Asia-Pacific countries results in more foreign investment in Korea. The results suggest that research on global investor sentiment provides insight into the determinants of capital flows and has implications for capital flow management policies.

#iamafeminist as the “mother tag”: feminist identification and activism against misogyny on Twitter in South Korea

This article explores feminist activism via the hashtag #iamafeminist on Twitter in South Korea. This hashtag became an important platform for feminist identification and activism against misogyny following its start in 2015 as a way to resist prevailing anti-feminist sentiment in Korea. In addition to opposing stigmas regarding identifying as a feminist, #iamafeminist affords an inclusive frame that can promote feminist identification by sharing personal motives for and stories about being a feminist. Although critics dismiss the potential of hashtag activism due to its ephemeral nature, I argue that #iamafeminist—which I call the “mother tag”—was able to persist for three months by continuing to connect with real-time gender issues and by initiating activism against misogyny both online and offline.

Korean Courage to Deal with Japan

ABSTRACT Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea is negatively affecting the economies and security of South Korea and Japan, with strategic implications for Asia and the United States. South Koreans passionately protest when Japanese politicians make insensitive remarks about history or claim the Korean-controlled island of Dokdo as Takeshima. However, anti-Japanese sentiment is inhibiting cooperation with Tokyo that is clearly in South Korea's interests, including a recently scuppered intelligence-sharing agreement. Seoul needs Tokyo's help with North Korea, whether for conflict contingencies or for moving toward or realizing peaceful unification. Problems in Seoul–Tokyo relations concern Washington in the area of loss of security-enhancing, cost-saving trilateral coordination. Korean and Japanese shared values for human rights, economic freedom, democracy, and the rule of law can support further economic and functional cooperation. South Korea's interests would be served by showing leadership in resuming regular diplomacy in Northeast Asia and by emphasizing strategic cooperation rather than historical animosities.
