태안만 원유유출사건에 대한 시장반응과 환경공시 = Intra-Industry Market Response to the Tae-an Oil Spill Accident and the Corporate Environmental Disclosure

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 논문에서는 2007년 12월 7일에 발생한 태안만 원유유출사건에 대한 관련 산업의 시장반응을 조사하였다. 태안 사고는 국내의 조선업, 원유산업에 대해 환경관련 규제의 강화를 초래할 것이라는 우려를 낳았고 환경산업에 대해서는 환경복구와 관련한 수익의 기회를 제공하였다. 사회적 비난의 고조 및 규제강화의 전망은 조선업과 원유산업의 주가는 하락시키고 수혜산업의 주가는 상승시키는 동인으로 작용하였다. 태안원유유출사고는 이중선체 유조선 의무화 조치의 발효를 앞당기는 계기가 되어 국내 선박제조업에 호재로 작용하기도 하였다. 이에 따라 사고 직후 하락하던 조선업의 주가는 규제발효 이후 반전하여 지속적인 양의 추세를 유지하였다. 개별기업에 대한 분석에서 환경공시의 수준이 양호한 기업은 그렇지 않은 기업에 비해 부정적인 시장반응이 완화되는 경향이 관찰되었다.

This paper researched market responses for listed companies in several industries affected by the major oil spill accident off the coast of Taean, in December 7, 2007. The Taean accident triggered considerable concerns in people over the possibility of potential future regulation in shipbuilding and petroleum industries. However, the accident also provided an unexpected business opportunity for environmental clean-up industry and shipbuilding industry. The oil spill triggered the acceleration of the enactment of policies that require all new oil tankers to be constructed with double hull, which is interpreted as a good news for shipbuilding industry. Increased public pressure coupled with the prospect of tightened regulation is expected to decrease the market values of firms in the affected business fields. The stock prices of shipbuilding companies dropped after the incident but dramatically surged after the enactment of the policy in January 31, 2008. Our study also found that companies with more extensive prior environmental disclosure had less negative market reactions during the first sixteen days following the accident.
