About the Lab
Professor Ryoonee Kim's research lab focuses on corporate finance, corporate governance, and the strategic implications of firm-level financial decisions in dynamic market environments. The lab explores how institutional reforms, such as the Sarbanes–Oxley Act, and macroeconomic shocks, including trade liberalization and financial crises, influence earnings management, capital structure, and firm performance. A key research direction examines the role of corporate group affiliations, customer concentration, and international communication (e.g., English earnings calls) in shaping financial behavior and market reactions. The lab also investigates the socio-economic impacts of public housing policies, particularly through community integration and urban revitalization strategies.

15This paper investigates whether the level of customer concentration can moderate the effect of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) on the earnings management of U.S. corporations. Large customers can act as a mechanism for reducing agency problems by pressuring supplier firms to be more efficient. Large customers may act as certifying agents for a supplier, and they may reduce information asymmetries about the supplier. These two channels suggest that customer concentration may affect corporate
Abstract Using a data set of Korean business groups in the period 1999–2006, just after the Asian Financial Crisis, this study shows how business groups’ financial leverage can lead group-affiliated firms to lose market share to industry rivals. This analysis reveals that the negative effect of group leverage is greater when an affiliated firm is financially weak. Additionally, high group leverage is more detrimental to firms operating in fast-growing industries, discouraging affiliated firms fr
최근 공공임대주택은 신혼부부, 사회 초년생, 대학생 등으로 공급 대상이 확대되고 입지 또한 도심 지역으로 변화되고 있다. 그러나 기존 공공임대주택은 주로 저소득층이 거주하며 지역사회에 부정적인 영향을 끼쳐 기성 시가지내 임대주택이 건설에 대한 지역사회의 우려 및 반대의견이 제시되고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 공공임대주택 건설 시 확대된 개념의 커뮤니티 시설을 조성하고 이를 지역주민이 이용하도록 함으로써 지역사회의 활성화를 도모함과 동시에 공공임대주택 건설을 활성화하는 방안을 모색하고 있다. 최근 공급이 확대되고 있는 행복주택 시범사업지구를 대상으로 주변지역 현황 및 주요 이용대상의 특성을 분석하고, 이를 토대로 입주민과 지역주민의 공동 이용을 위한 지역별 특화된 커뮤니티 시설을 제시하였다. 각 커뮤니티 시설에는 지역별 앵커 기능을 중심으로 문화 · 여가, 복지 · 교육, 일자리 시설을 종합적으로 제공하고 이와 함께 중앙정부 및 지자체 지원프로그램을 연계할 수 있는 방안을 제시하여 커뮤니
The purpose of this paper is to use China’s World Trade Organization accession as a quasi-natural experiment and examine whether conglomeration affects firmss’ ability to respond to a significant increase in competitive pressure.

Conglomerates’ outperformance is not observed when the markets in which segments operate already have high product market com
