The word "Loss" means being deprived a person's meaningful property, people or idea by irresistible force, and it is not avoidable in one's life. Especially, the elderly have higher possibility to experience this "Loss" than any other age groups on account of their characteristics. Feeling grief of loss after going through any kind of loss is natural and normal. However, if someone has severe trouble with overcoming this grief, it would affect negatively to his/her psychological or social inelastic. Therefore, we tried to find out which factors consists the "Grief of loss" and how it affects on the elderly's quality of life, especially on the sense of ego-integrity through this study. 97 of the elderly over age 65 participated in the survey and the results as follow; grief of loss is classified into four factors, 'economical loss', 'loss from being parted by death', 'loss of physical functions' and 'loss of relations'. These four factors of "Grief of loss" showed negative correlations with the scores of the sense of ego-integrity factors except 'acceptance of death'. Especially, the 'economical loss' affects on every factor of the sense of ego-integrity negatively except 'acceptance of death' and 'acceptance of aging'. Moreover, 'loss of physical functions' and 'loss of relations' affect negatively on elderly's satisfaction to their lives. On the other hand, the 'loss from being parted by death' of "Grief of loss" and 'acceptance of death' of the sense of ego-integrity showed no statistically significant effect in every process of analysis.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the determinants of the change in the welfare expenditure of local governments in 2015. This study analyzed the spatial correlation of welfare expenditure among neighboring local governments and determined the factors affecting the welfare expenditures. According to the results of the study, spatial correlation of welfare expenditure among local governments appears. Determinants, such as socio-economic factors, administrative factors, public financial factors are affecting the amount of the welfare expenditures, but local political factors, and local tax, last year's budgets are not correlated with the amount of local welfare expenditures. In this study, it is significant to found out that the spatial correlation of welfare expenditure among the local governments and to examine the determinants. If possible, it is necessary to analyze the time-series analysis using the multi-year welfare expenditure data, expecially self-welfare expenditures.

This study applies two-choice model to identify the major determinants of NIMBY attitudes when a large-scale composting facility is built around a residential area. Using a survey data of residents in Jeju City, Korea, logit estimation is implemented. The empirical results are consistent with the implication of the specified model: a representative resident's NIMBY attitude is positively (negatively) affected by "Negative Neighborhood Characteristic Variables" ("Positive Wealth Attribute variables"). Socio-demographic variables may be summarized as mostly statistically insignificant, which implies that policy makers may have to take into consideration their region-specific socio-demographic factors instead of simply emulating the policies which have been successful elsewhere.

신용평가제도는 오늘날 그 영향력이 강력해져 사실상 세계자본시장의 문지기역할을 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같이 신용평가기관의 중요성과 영향력의 증대와 더불어 이들 평가기관의 활동에 대한 비판과 감시가 커지고 있는 이때에 아직 선진수준에 미치지 못하는 국내신용평가기관들의 현황과 평가체계를 살펴보고 선진국의 신용평가기관들과 비교해 봄으로써 앞으로 나아갈 방향을 모색해보고자 하였다. 국내 신용평가기관들의 현황을 살펴본 결과 신용평가절차에 있어서 기준이 경영상태, 성장성, 그리고 재무구조의 건전성에 있어야 함에도 불구하고 이러한 기본적인 요인들의 영향력은 미미한 반면, 비공개적이고 불투명하며 비경제적인 요인들이 중요한 비중을 차지하고 있었다. 이에 반하여 선진신용평가기관들의 분석결과는 그 신뢰도에 믿음을 가질 수 있고, 대내외적인 공신력을 인정받고 있으며, 평가과정이 매우 주관적이어서 그 내용을 모두 공개하지 않지만, 국내의 신용평가과정보다는 투명성을 인정받고 있다는 것도 사실이다. 따라서 국내신용평가기관들의 나아갈 바를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 비재무적 요인의 평가기준에 대한 인식의 재정립이 요구되고 있다. 장기적인 시각으로 비재무적 요인에 대한 평가기준과 방법에 대한 체계의 정립이 요구되며, 전문적이고 객관적이면서도 뚜렷한 평가기관의 주관이 있는 평가가 이루어져야 할 것이다. 둘째, 신용평가방법과 기준의 강화로 대외적인 공신력을 얻도록 해야 한다. 이를 위한 방안의 하나로 성장성, 수익성, 그리고 안정성 비율 모두를 반영할 수 있는 신용평가모형을 개발하고, 자기자본비율의 대폭적인 상승이나 현금흐름의 양호여부, 경제적 부가가치(EVA), 고정장기적합률의 이행기준의 설정 등에 대한 평가기준의 재정립이 강구되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구의 일차적 목적은 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인들이 양육효능감에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 양육효능감이 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인들과 자녀양육 행동과의 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것인가를 분석하였다. 그리고 양육효능감, 자녀 양육행동, 아동 발달과의 상관관계를 살펴보았다 미국 내 거주하는 Early Head Start 프로그램 의 수혜 자인 저 소득층의 어머니와 영 아들을 (출생∼36개월) 대상으로 한 본 연구결과에 의하면 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인들로 어머니의 연령, 소득수준, 양육에서 오는 스트레스가 양육효능감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 양육효능감은 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인, 특히 어머니의 연령과 양육행동과의 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다 양육효능감, 양육행동, 아동발달과의 상관관계 분석에서는 양육효능감과 양육행동에서만 유의한 정적인 강관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 지금까지의 선행연구들과는 맥을 같이하는 연구결과이지만, 저소득층(high-risk families)의 어머니와 영아를 대상으로 양육효능감을 포괄적이고 체계적으로 이해하고자 하였다는데서 의의를 찾을 수 있다. 나아가, 이 연구의 결과는 저소득층을 위한 아동 및 가족의 통합적 복지사업을 실천하는데 있어 의미가 있는 것으로 시사된다. 사회 경제적 자립을 위한 기회 제공과 자녀양육을 하는데 있어서 전문가의 직접적인 모델링을 통한 부모교육을 통해서 양육효능감을 향상시켜나갈 때, 아동 및 가족 복지 실현의 궁국적 목적을 이룰 수 있을 것이다.

This paper studies the determinants of willingness to pay (WTP) for preventing personal information infringement. Most of previous studies only estimate the value of the WTP and, unlike them, this paper discusses personal information as an information good. Using a double-bounded dichotomous choice model, this paper empirically analyses the personal characteristics that determine the WTP for the protection of personal information. It contributes to the literature by proposing that gender, working status and communication cost are determinants for the WTP for the protection of personal information.
