석유개발사업은 고도의 위험성, 투자자금의 장기회임성, 그리고 대규모 투자자금의 필요성등의 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 개발사업에 참여하기에 앞서 개발비용과 향후 유가추이를 면밀히 검토하여야 한다. 국제원유시장은 기본적으로 공급초과 상태에 있으며 앞으로 상당기간동안 가격은 안정추세를 나타낼 것이다. 단기적 등락에도 불구하고 원유가격은 장기적으로 상승할 것이라는 당대의 견해는 이른바 유한고갈성자원의 희소렌트가 이자율과 같은 속도로 상승한다는 '호텔링의 모형'에 이론적 기초를 두고 있다. 그러나 국제원유시장에서의 원유가격은 경쟁가격이 아니라 OPEC카르텔에 의한 담합가격으로 실제적 시장상황에 비해 인위적으로 높게 유지되어 왔다. '카오스 이론'에 따르면 석유시장은 동태적으로 구조변화를 반복하기 때문에 사전적으로 석유가격을 예측한다는 것은 애당초 불가능하다. 따라서 불규칙적으로 변화하는 석유가격을 예측하려고 노력하기보다는 석유시장의 불확실성을 인정하고 선물시장의 활용을 통해 석유개발과 관련된 위험을 줄여나가야 할 것이다.

고령사회 진입과 함께 나타난 세계 각국의 정책이슈 중 하나는 연금개혁이었다. 유럽과 중남미는 1980년대, 1990년대 및 2000년대 초, 그리고 나머지 대륙에서는 1990년대와 2000년대 초에 걸쳐서 연금개혁을 단행했다. 본 연구에서는 중층연금제도의 근간이 되는 동유럽의 개인연금과 서남북 유럽의 퇴직연금의 확산요인을 Cox 사건사 분석방법으로 파악한 후 비교분석 방법을 활용하여 정책확산 메커니즘을 탐색하였다. 분석 결과 두 지역에서 공히 사회적 압력요인 중에서는 인구규모가 영향을 미쳤고, 경제적 압력요인 중에서는 경제활동인구의 감소가 영향을 미쳤으며, 외부영향요인 중에서는 수평적 이웃효과가 영향을 미쳤다. 정책확산의 관점에서 저출산·고령화와 같은 인구구조와 이에 따른 노인부양비율은 국내에서의 일부 연금개혁과 같은 정책에는 영향을 미쳤을 수도 있지만 퇴직연금과 개인연금의 도입과 같은 정책확산에는 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 정책확산 메커니즘의 관점에서 보면 사회적 압력, 경제적 압력, 그리고 수평적 이웃효과가 상호작용을 하면 정책확산으로 인한 정책변동이 나타난다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

The aim of this paper is analyzing the economic outcome of development aid project on closed mine and submitting the policy alternatives to seek for substitute industries which lead independent growth of that area. Despite the aid project deployed from 2001 to 2010, the economic result appears to be fragile. It is obvious that the contents and magnitude of aid projects has its own limitation to build independent economic structure in closed mine area. Conclusively, to overcome the regional restrictions, it is important to establish the aid project scheme to make a strategic and systematic resource distribution under the regional circumstances.

Since the urbanization process has been taking place, negative outcomes such as environmental pollution and traffic congestion have produced as well. Reflecting the phenomenon, our study assumed that physical structure of urban form were implicit in relation to both economic performance and cost. It can be interpreted that as the urban space has been growing bigger, economic performances such as regional product output, economy of scale and the effect of agglomeration economies are increased. On the contrary, the negative effects such as environmental pollution and traffic congestion were incurred as economic loss and expenses. It means that even though economic performance can help increase regional product output, we should consider the loss on economic expenses which are paid for social problems such as environmental pollution and traffic congestion, which are caused by urbanization. Therefore, this study aims to statistically validate the relationship between traffic congestion as the most representative economy costs and physical characteristics of urban in a large city such as Seoul and to suggest its implications. As a result of model development for empirical analysis, GRDP(0.604), the population(0.582), employment GINI coefficients(0.296), population GINI coefficients(0.254) in order led to congestion cost. We can come to the conclusion that in case of scale factor such as the population, if the population tends to concentrate, urban becomes more crowded and that if GINI coefficients (the population, employment) which are variable on inequality according to region have the disparity with surrounding areas, congestion cost is caused a lot on account of movement related with employment. In addition, this phenomenon was caused if both the population and employment were geographically biased on one side.

The Korean economy has sustained high growth rate for almost three decades, that have been associated with the rapid expansion of manufacturing industries. In the beginning stage of development, the high growth of the Korean economy has been based on improvements in productivity obtained by the economies of scale. In that period, the improvements in productivity could be secured by the economies of scale in the export-oriented industries which are the labor- and material-intensive industries. In the latter half of the 1980s, the Korean economy went through rapid transition. Now Korea is at another juncture in its development process, where economic restructuring is critical to sustain high growth. However, economic restructuring in the 1990s call for much more concerted effort than before, since changes in internal and external conditions have profoundly altered the environment for economic development. If Korea is to sustain high growth in the 1990s, it has to promote balanced economic and social development in coordination with the smooth facilitation of industrial restructuring. There are no inherent conflicts among the issues involved, so they can be resolved by restructuring the economy to facilitate, in a global context, the development of knowledge- and technology-intensive activities and to ensure that the benefts of growth are reflected of qualitative improvements in national living standards. In this paper, we examined a scenario of structural changes using a mid- and long-term multisector model, in order to understand the conditions needed for realizing the growth potential. This examination explains the important features of the development course and policy directions that will help sustain high growth in the 1990s.

A road is an infrastructure that helps boost up growth of local economy, connections among local communities and living conditions. For South Korea the increase in infrastructures like roads now concentrates on specific regions, which causes regional imbalance. also, some areas are faced with the overall weakness of local economy such as decrease in local tax revenues, slowdown in industrial and economic growth of regions, and the low independence of local finances because lack of roads, a basis of local economic growth, make big and smaller business reluctant to invest in localities. In addition, even though the power-centralized age turns to a decentralized age, the preference of development policies by the existing economic size rather than those of nationwide balanced development gets the economic gap of localities deeply-rooted; moreover, disparity of local wealth has a tendency to even differentiate the overall quality of living. The paper intends to analyze relations between road development and local economy focused on road construction, one of requisites to balance national development and accelerate local economy.

The purpose of this study is to take a look the situation of social enterprises under CIVID-19 Pandemic and to suggest future directions. The COVID-19 pandemic which started at the end of 2019, has influenced the various areas of our society, such as health, economic, social and networking. The virus is spread through human respiratory, and it is working as a disability factor in human focused social economy. Under the COVID-19 pandemic situation, Social entrepreneurs are being constrained in financial aspects. In the process of continuing pandemic, the size of the social economy has been expanded and cleaning & health businesses are showing economic performance. This is to tell the fact that social economy is solving COVID-19 issues based on a reciprocity and solidarity. To create a sustainable ecosystem for the social economy, we should select and promote universal and concrete future directions at the economic and social safety net building level rather than to respond to COVID-19.

Drought is a longer lasting and more extensive disaster than other natural disasters, resulting in significant socioeconomic damage. Even though drought events have same severity, their damage vary from region to region because of spatial, technical, economic, and social circumstances. In this study, drought vulnerability was assessed considering socioeconomic factors. Preliminary factors were identified from the case study for Chungcheong province, and evaluative factors were selected by applying the principal component analysis. The entropy method was applied to determine the weights of evaluative factors. As a result, in Chungcheong province, farm population, number of recipient of basic living, water fare gap indicator, area of industrial complex, amount of underground water usage, amount of water available per capita, water supply ratio, financial soundness for water resources, amount of domestic water usage, amount of agricultural water usage and agricultural land area were chosen as the evaluative factors. Among them, the factors associated with agriculture had larger weights. The overall assessment of vulnerability indicated that Cheongju, Dangjin and Seosan were the most vulnerable to drought.
