This study analyzed changes in the competitive structure of the global shipping container market and the appropriate capacity of the container fleet in Korea from three perspectives. The competitive market analysis applied the market concentration ratio and Hirschman-Herfindahl index, while the appropriate capacity analysis was based on the following three aspects: (1) Fleet capacity to secure competitiveness in the global shipping alliance; (2) Fleet capacity to increase national fleet coverage of domestic import and export container cargo; and (3) Fleet capacity analysis through the panel model considering the characteristics of the major shipping countries. Analysis of the global shipping container market reveals an oligopoly industry, and Korea's container fleet capacity is insufficient across all three analyses.

This paper investigates whether urban expansion and the vitalization of the local economy can be achieved through new city development. The results show that regardless of the starting point (origin) or destination point, traffic increases closer to the origin for the purpose of transportation and decreases farther from the origin. However, traffic tends to increase in districts 20 to 40 km away from the origin. Hence, building a new city in this district may be effective in terms of geography and functionality.

This paper deals with the economy of scale for domestic on-site hydrogen stations fueled with natural gas and naptha. We evaluate the economic feasibility of on-site hydrogen stations with hydrogen production capacities of $30Nm^3/hr,\;100Nm^3/hr\;and\;300Nm^3/hr$. We build a classical economic feasibility model and we make some sensitivity analyses by changing the values of input factors such as the hydrogen sale price and the discount rate. The estimated hydrogen prices of steam methane reforming stations with production capacities of $30\;Nm^3/hr,\;100\;Nm^3/hr\;and\;300\;Nm^3/hr$ are 18,472 won/kg, 10,689 won/kg and 7,758 won/kg, respectively. Also, the hydrogen prices are about the same if we use naptha as a raw material for hydrogen energy instead of natural gas. It turns out that small and medium size domestic on-site hydrogen stations will not be economical in the near future. This indicates that we need to construct large scale on-site hydrogen fueling stations even for the initial phase of the hydrogen economy.

Using a multiproduct translog cost function model, this paper examines the existence or absence of scale and scope economies in Seoul's urban bus industry. The Paper then conceptualizes that the bus firm produces three outputs (city, seat and local bus-kilometers) using low input factors(labor, capital, fuel and maintenance). Using 1996 annual observations for 81 Seoul's bus firms, the equation system consisting of a cost function and three input share equations is estimated with the nonlinear iterative Zellner method. The findings show that the cost function corresponding to a non-homothetic production technology with separability between local bus outputs and inputs adequately represents the structure of cost for Seoul's bus firms, and that the demand lot all input factors is quite inelastic with respect to their own price. On the other hand, nearly all firms experience mild overall economies or scale, but rather marked product-specific economies of scale with respect to all the three outputs. In addition, there appear to be substantial economies or scope associated with the joint production of city and seat bus services, while considerable diseconomies of scope associated with that of city and local bus services. These results indicate that the merger of smaller firms into larger firms with a fleet of approximately 200 buses would result in more cost-efficient bus services.

주식투자에 따른 체계적 위험인 베타는 실증분석에 따르면 장기적으로는 안정적이지만 단기적으로는 불안정하다. 본 연구에서는 3개월과 1년의 기간별로 추정된 규모별 및 업종별 포트폴리오 베타의 불안정성을 검토하고, 베타의 불안정성을 설명할 수 있는 거시경제변수를 찾아보고자 하였다. 베타추정시 시장수익률의 선택이 실증분석결과에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 시장수익률로서 종합주가지수 수익률과 산술평균 수익률을 이용하여 베타를 추정하고, 이를 이요한 회귀분석 결과에 따르면 시장수익률로서 종합주가지수 수익률보다는 산술평균 수익률을 사용한 경우에 분석결과에 논리적 일관성이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 규모별 포트폴리오 베타와 거시경제변수간의 관계를 분석한 결과 금리차이와 수출비율은 소기업 포트폴리오 베타와는 음의 관계를, 대기업 포트폴리오 베타와는 양의 관계를 보이고 있다. 그리고 회사채금리는 소기업 포트폴리오 베타와 양의 관계를, 대기업 포트폴리오 베타와는 음의 관계를 보이고 있다. 거시경제변수와 업종별 포트폴리오 베타와의 회귀분석에서는 대부분의 거시경제변수가 일부 포트폴리오 베타와는 양의 관계를, 다른 포트폴리오 베타와는 음의 관계를 보이고 있다.
