The empirical results indicate that foreign investors show strong, positive feedback trading behavior with regard to the stock price of Samsung Electronics, which is the largest KOSPI enterprise in terms of market capitalization. We also found evidence that the behavior of foreign investors significantly increased volatility in the stock returns of the two largest Korean conglomerates (Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motors), which account for approximately 25 percent of total KOSPI market capitalization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su11061576","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,18]],"date-time":"2019-03-18T04:06:55Z","timestamp":1552882015000},"page":"1576","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["The Impact of Foreign Investors on the Stock Price of Korean Enterprises during the Global Financial Crisis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yoonmin","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economics and Finance, Keimyung University, Daegu 42601, Korea"}]},{"given":"Gab-Je","family":"Jo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economics and Finance, Keimyung University, Daegu 42601, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"228","DOI":"10.1016\/S0304-405X(99)00037-9","article-title":"Do foreign investors destabilize stock markets?
