현재 금융환경에서 고등학교 경제교과서 내 금융단원이 실용적인 금융교육에 충분한 지에 대한 이견이 계속 거론되어 왔다. 특히 고등학생들이 졸업 후 사회에 나가서 금 융생활을 하기에 충분한 금융상품의 내용을 학습할 수 있는지에 대한 검토가 필요한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구는 우리나라 고등학교 경제교과서 내 금융상품의 범위와 깊이가 어떻게 개선되어야 하는지에 대한 시사점을 도출하기 위해 미국 경제교과서 금융상품 내용을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 미국 경제교과서의 금융상품의 범위는 예적금, 투자상품(주식, 채권, 펀드), 보험에 대한 영역을 다루고 있고 특히 투자와 보험을 자세히 다루고 있다. 또한 이러한 금융상품에 대해 습득해야 할 지식과 지식을 활용할 수 있는 다양한 방법을 제시하고 있다. 금융상품에 대한 도입부분은 학습에 대한 충분한 동기부여를 위해 구성하고 주식 과 채권, 파생상품과 같은 상대적으로 어려운 내용도 사례, 스토리, 그림 등을 통해 학 습자 이해도를 높이도록 하며 학습이 끝나고 이를 적용할 수 있는 다양한 방법을 제시 한다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 우리나라 경제교과서 내 금융상품의 범위와 깊이에 대한 보완점을 제시하였다.

This paper examines whether lending structure can lower credit risk by employing econometric techniques of panel data for the Vietnamese banking system at the bank level used by economic sectors from 2011 to 2016. New light is being shed on assessing the impact of each industry’s debt outstanding on credit risk. Adopting findings from previous studies, we assess credit risk from two different sources, including loan loss provision and non-performing loan. Moreover, we also focus on observing lending structure in many different aspects, from concentrative levels to the short-term and long-term stability levels of lending structure. The Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator was applied to analyze the relationship between concentration and banking risks. In general, the results show that lending concentration may decrease credit risk. It is interesting to observe that the Vietnamese commercial bank lending portfolios have, on average, higher levels of diversity across different sectors. In particular, the increase in hotel and restaurant lending contributes to decrease credit risk while the lending portfolios of banks in agriculture, electricity, gas and water increase credit risk. This study suggests the need for further analysis and research about portfolio risks in lending activities for maintaining efficiency and stability in the commercial banking system.

The research paper examines the influence of elections on the stock market. The study analyses whether the market reaction would be the same when a party wins and comes to power for the second consecutive time. The study employs Market Model Event study methodology. The sample period taken for the study is 2014 to 2019. A sample of 31 companies listed in Bombay Stock Exchange is selected at random for the purpose of the study. For the elections held in 2014, an event window of 82 days was taken with 39 days prior to the event and 42 days post event. The event (t0) being the declaration of the election results. For the elections held in 2019 an event window of 83 days was taken with 41 days prior to the event and 41 days post event. The results indicate that the market reacts positively with significantly positive Average Abnormal Returns. The findings of the study reveal that the impact on the market is not the same between any two elections even when the same party comes to power for the second time. The semi-strong form of efficient market hypothesis holds true in the context of emerging markets like India.
