This study presumes the efficiency of each route by utilizing data of Seoul's exclusive bus routes for the 2008 and the DEA model. In the estimation, it is assumed that the number of passengers and profits of each route is calculated by considering the number of buses and stops, travel distance, intervals and management cost. This study computed the efficiency scores of each bus line in Seoul based on the data for the first half of 2008 and one of the DEA models, namely the BCC model. After analysis using the input-oriented BCC model, out of a total of 18 lines of interest, there were 2 CRS lines and 16 IRS lines. Also, the Tobit Regression Analysis that helps identify the impact of the elements used in the analysis on efficiency scores proved that the most influential element to exclusive buses is the length of intervals.

제6세대 컴퓨터로 불리는 신경컴퓨터는 학습과 병렬처리에 의해 인간의 두뇌 기능을 모방한다. 인간의 두뇌는 시각인식, 음성인식, 촉각감지 등 패턴인식뿐 아니라 인간의 복잡한 신체구조를 시각, 촉각 같은 감각기관의 도움을 얻어 움직이는 중요한 역할도 한다. 바로 이 모터제어(motor control) 역시 신경회로가 담당하기 때문에 이를 기계적 신체에 해당하는 로보트 또는 광범위하게 기계, 비행기, 산업공정에 응용하는 것은 매우 자연스럽게 보인다. 이처럼 신경회로가 제어에 응용되는 것을 신경제어 (neurocontrol)라 하고 이를 이용한 기계를 지능기계(intelligent machinery)라 한다. 지능기계는 기본적으로 인간처럼 경험축적 학습 불확실한 환경에서의 적응 자기진단 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 신경회로의 지극히 광범위한 응용분야중 신경제어는 가장 먼저 실현될 가능성이 높다. 실제로 로보트나 공정제어(process control)처럼 복잡한 비선형 시스템의 제어는 다량의 센서 정보에 기초한 실시간 제어를 필수로 하며 이는 신경회로를 사용함으로써 가장 효율적, 경제적으로 구현할 수 있다. 실제로 신경제어는 전세계적으로 이미 시스템 제어에 응용되어 좋은 결과를 내고 있다. 신경회로의 로보트나 자동화 응용은 학술적인 측면에서는 복잡한 비선형 시스템의 지능제어 (intelligent control)문제에 대한 신선한 해결책을 마련해줄 뿐 아니라 산업자동화라는 막대한 시장을 뒤로 하고 있어 이론에서 실제에 걸쳐 가장 광범위한 파급효과를 가지는 최첨단 기술로 보여진다. 고부가가치 상품을 통한 국제 경쟁력 제고의 차원에서도 정부, 기업 등의 과감한 연구 개발투자가 선행되어야 한다. 특히 이 분야의 연구는 선진국도 최근에 시작한 점으로 보아 정부, 기업이 이에 대한 연구 개발투자를 현명하게 할 경우에 세계적 기술 경쟁력도 확보할 수 있을 것이다. 본 해설에서는 로보트 및 시스템 제어에 관한 기초 이론을 설명하고 신경회로 적용기술을 소개하고 기존 방법과 비교 했을 때의 우월성, 전세계적인 응용연구, 국내외 연구개발 현황, 상업화 가능성, 산업계 응용례, 기술상의 문제점, 향후 전망 등을 다루기로 한다.

The ports have been confronted with rapid environmental changes. This means that it is imperative to enhance the competitiveness by resolving the chronic and difficult problems regarding Busan New Port. This paper, hence, suggests how to activate the hinterland of the New Port. The New Port was designed to become a leading logistics port in Northeast Asia and its economic ripple effect was expected to be much greater with the construction of New Port Hinterland. The government should also seek to supply the sufficient land as well as establish port clusters with various port-related industries, which enables the New Port to survive the forthcoming harsh environmental changes and meet the diverse demands. Those measures also enable the New Port to overcome the deterioration of the competitiveness and enjoy the economies of scale. The cluster-based hinterland policy framework is sure to be very efficient but should be complemented with infrastructure policies for the better policy-mix.

공기업(公企業) 비효율성(非效率性)의 근본원인을 소유구조상(所有構造上)의 문제, 경쟁부재(競爭不在)의 문제, 지나친 정부규제(政府規制)의 문제로 이해할 때 그동안 공기업관련(公企業關聯) 정책(政策)이 소유구조상의 해결책인 민영화정책(民營化政策)에만 지나치게 편중됨으로써 경제력집중(經濟力集中)이나 증시문제(證市問題) 등으로 인해 공기업(公企業) 비효율성(非效率性)의 치유가 오히려 지연되고 있다는 시각에서 본고는 출발하고 있다. 시장기능(市場機能)의 활성화를 통한 효율성제고(效率性提高)가 공기업정책(公企業政策)의 궁극적인 목표라고 할 때 공기업의 비효율성(非效率性) 문제는 공기업관련(公企業關聯) 산업(産業)의 경쟁정책적(競爭政策的) 차원에서 문제점들을 파악하고 해결책을 모색할 필요가 있다. 따라서 공기업분야에 시장기능(市場機能)이 정착되기 위해 민영화(民營化), 경쟁도입(競爭導入), 규제완화(規制緩和) 등의 효율성 제고수단들의 총체적이고 유기적인 연계가 필수적이다. 이러한 시각에서 본고는 민영화 등 공기업관련(公企業關聯) 경쟁정책(競爭政策)중 구조적(構造的)인 측면을 주로 살펴보고 있다. 공기업(公企業)의 비효율성(非效率性)을 공기업 자체의 내적(內的) 비효율성(非效率性)과 시장에서의 배분적(配分的) 비효율성(非效率性)으로 구분할 때, 내적 비효율성 못지않게 배분적(配分的) 비효율성(非效率性)이 심각한 것으로 보인다. 한국통신(韓國通信) 등 대표적 공기업 6개와 10대(大) 민간(民間) 대기업집단(大企業集團)의 수익률(收益率) 비교(比較) 등에 따르면 이들 공기업이 독점적(獨占的) 시장구조하(市場構造下)에서 민간독점기업적(民間獨占企業的) 행태를 취해 왔다고 판단된다. 한편 상대적으로 경쟁도입이 활성화되고 있는 통신산업(通信産業)의 경우 요금의 변화추이는 경쟁도입(競爭導入)이 배분적(配分的) 효율성(效率性)을 증진시키고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있어 시장구조(市場構造)를 경쟁적으로 변화시키는 것이 공기업정책(公企業政策)에서 절실하다고 판단된다. 구조적(構造的)인 경쟁정책(競爭政策)을 다루기 위해 본고는 사업다각화(事業多角化)라는 시각에서 6대(大) 공기업관련산업(公企業關聯産業)의 산업련관분석(産業聯關分析)을 통해 공기업이 상당한 전후방효과(前後方效果)를 갖고 있기 때문에 단순 민영화에 따른 수직적(垂直的) 독점력(獨占力) 확산을 고려하면서 구조적(構造的) 정책(政策)을 취할 필요가 있음을 지적하고 있다. 따라서 독점공기업(獨占公企業)을 민영화함에 있어서 시장구조를 보다 경쟁적(競爭的)으로 전환시킬 필요성이 크다고 판단된다. 1993년 민영화계획(民營化計劃)의 범위가 불충분하고 그 계획조차 지연되는 현상황을 고려할 때 민영화정책의 보다 강력하고 광범위한 실행이 필요할 뿐만 아니라 공기업분야에 경쟁적(競爭的) 시장구조(市場構造)가 정착될 수 있도록 유도하는 것이 공기업 관련 구조적(構造的)인 경쟁정책(競爭政策)의 핵심이라고 본다. 또한 본 논문은 공기업이 원래의 설립목적(設立目的) 이외의 다른 사업분야에 진출하는 것을 허용할 것인가에 대하여 구조적(構造的) 경쟁정책차원(競爭政策次元)에서 기본방향을 제시하고 있다.

Amid intensified global competition, securing high technologies is becoming a prerequisite towards achieving developed nation status. Korea has made tremendous efforts into developing technologies for decades and it has now obtained a leading position in many fields. As a result, however, Korea has become a major target of industrial espionage and not a few Korean businesses have already suffered from it. In order to effectively counter industrial espionage, this research explores the use of polygraph security screening as an internal control method through literature review, and discusses matters which need to be considered before the introduction of it into Korea, focusing on the accuracy of security screening. Since polygraph security screening generates deterrent effect by increasing certainty and celerity of punishment, it makes a valuable contribution to the control of industrial espionage. However, the most important problem with the use of the polygraph in security screening is errors of the examination. Thus, polygraph security screening should be used as a part of comprehensive security management program to reduce the possibility of errors. In addition, because factors such as countermeasures and examiner's experience are known to influence the accuracy of the examination, the issues surrounding them should also be addressed.

Market concentration in the Korean banking industry has markedly increased since the financial crisis of 1997-1998 because of M&As, P&As, and consolidation of banks. With this change, there has been a growing concern over market power in the Korean banking sector. We examine the effects of market concentration on bank efficiency and competition for the period of 1992-2006. Three different indicators of bank inefficiency are used in this study, including X-inefficiency that is derived from the directional technology distance function. The level of competition is measured by both the H-statistic of the Panzar-Rosse model and the level of the net interest margin and its standard deviation. Empirical results indicate that market concentration has not improved bank efficiency through scale economies or scope economies. Instead, recent mergers, acquisitions and consolidation of banks resulted in an increase in inefficiency measured by the three different indicators: X-inefficiency, labor inefficiency and asset inefficiency. While an increase in market share of individual banks improved bank efficiency, an increase in the overall market concentration ratio resulted in lower efficiency. Our study also finds that the Korean banking sector has been monopolistically competitive throughout the sample period except for the crisis period according to the H-statistic. Although an increase in market concentration ratio has not changed the overall level of bank competition, it has a positive significant effect on the level of the average interest margin.

This paper examines the possibility of 'parallel reimportation', the reimportation of goods originally produced in the country and exported to another country by profit-pursuing arbitrageurs. The chance of parallel reimportation implies unusually high level of market power of domestic enterprises, and promoting parallel reimportation can be an effective welfare-enhancing, competition-generating policy for the situation. Motivated by the finding, this paper proposes a methodology to measure the welfare effects of parallel reimportation. Specifically, this paper makes use of a structural empirical model to estimate the demand and supply system of Korean automobile market for performing a counterfactual experiment to measure the welfare effects of the parallel reimportation. The results indicates that parallel reimportation can enhance social welfare considerably by increasing consumer surplus and government tax revenue altogether, though it reduces the producer surplus.
