The megatrend of convergence in finance, telecommunication, and service industries is being spread over the whole industry. It has generated various kinds of contractual alliance or joint venture. Our paper builds a theoretical model for the profit sharing between two firms that participate in a joint venture. The model shows how the profit sharing rule affects the incentives of the participants, and, eventually, the efficiency. We derive the first-best solution of the profit sharing, where no incentive distortion exists. Then, we compare the incentive-affecting cases with the first best outcome, and assess the efficiency and the fairness of distribution. Our analysis shows that if we properly design the decision-making structure on transfer price and production quantity, we can reach the socially optimal efficiency.

본 연구에서는 유로커런시와 외환시장의 초과수익률을 설명하는 여러 가지 모형을 검증하였다. 비록 Campbell-Clarida(1987)와 Lewis(1990,1991)는 이 시장에서 3개월물의 초과수익률에 대한 단일잠재변수모형을 기각할 수 없었지만 본 연구에서는 이 모형이 여러 포트폴리오에 대하여 기각되고 있음을 보여준다. 그러나 이 모형의 검증은 결합가정을 필요로 하기 때문에 모형의 기각원인을 찾는다는 것은 어려운 일이다. 기각의 가능성으로 세계 경제에 하나 이상의 위험요인이 존재할 수 있다는 것이 될 수도 있고 불안정한 상수가 원인일 수가 있다. 상수의 안정성검증에서 1979년 12월을 전후한 기간에 상수가 변하지 않는다는 귀무가설이 모든 포트폴리오에서 기각되었다. 따라서 양기간에 단일잠재변수모형과 두잠재변수모형을 검증하였다. 모든 포트폴리오에 대하여 1979년 12월 이전에는 단일변수모형이 기각되지 않았지만, 1979년 이후에는 체계적으로 기각되었다. 한편 두잠재변수모형은 양기간 모두에서 기각되지 않았다 따라서 위험요인에 변화를 주는 연방준비은행의 운영절차의 변화가 단일변수모형의 기각의 원인일 수 있다고 유추할 수 있다. 마지막으로 시간 가변적인 베타가 단일변수모형의 기각의 원인이 될 수 있는지를 검증하기 위하여 Harvey(1989,1991)에 의해서 개발된 모형을 적용해 보았지만 모형이 기각되었다. 따라서 유로커런시와 외화자산의 3개월물의 초과수익률에 두 잠재변수모형이 자료를 비교적 잘 설명한다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 잠재변수모형의 검증은 자산가격결정의 일반균형이론의 검증도 아니고 검증력도 강하지 않기 때문에, 위험프리미엄을 설명해주는 단순한 실증분석으로 보아야 한다.

Published employment statistics do not provide enough information about the relationship of unemployment and economic and business conditions. This study investigates long-run equilibrium relations and short-run adjustment process of unemployment and discouraged unemployment with major price variables in the business coincident and lagging framework. Speed of adjustment from short-run disequilibrium to long-run equilibrium is found to be relatively faster for discouraged unemployment that appears more responsive to changes in most of explanatory variables. Discouraged unemployment is found to reflect reality and suggested to be a more meaningful statistical index.

Recent financial theory views insurance policies as financial instruments that are traded in markets and whose prices reflect the forces of supply and demand. This article analyzes individual's insurance purchasing behavior along with capital market investment activities, which will provide a more realistic look at the tradeoff between insurance and investment in the individual's budget constraint. It is shown that the financial economic concept of insurance cost should reflect the opportunity cost of insurance premium. The author demonstrates the importance of riskless and risky financial assets in reaching an equilibrium insurance premium. In addition, the paper also investigates how the investment income could affect the four established theorems on traditional insurance literature. At the present time in Korea, the price deregulation is being debated as the most important current issue in insurance industry. In view of the results of this paper, insurance companies should recognize investment income in pricing their coverage if insurance prices are deregulated. Otherwise. price competition may force insurance companies to restrict coverage or to leave the market.

Presently in 2011, there are countless attacking tools oriented to invading security on the internet. And most of the tools are possible to conduct the actual invasion. Also, as the program sources attacking the weaknesses of PS3 were released in 2010 and also various sources for attacking agents and attacking tools such as Stuxnet Source Code were released in 2011, the part for defense has the greatest burden; however, it can be also a chance for the defensive part to suggest and develop methods to defense identical or similar patterned attacking by analyzing attacking sources. As a way to cope with such attacking, this study divides the network areas targeted for attack based on load balancing by the approach gateways and communication lines according to the defensive policies by attacking types and also suggests methods to multiply communication lines. The result of this paper will be provided as practical data to realize defensive policies based on high hardware performances through enhancing the price competitiveness of hardware infrastructure with 2010 as a start.

This study is aimed at developing a supply-demand model of wood products, and outlook for mid-term and long-term supply and demand for each products. The main wood products include sawnwood, plywood, particle board, fiberboard (MDF), and pulp. The partial equilibrium model is composed of supply function, import demand function, demand function, price relation function. With given parameters the outlook for year 2050 says that sawnwood, plywood, and fiberboard for domestic productions and imports are decreased. This may result from the increase of log prices from the inside and outside of the country because of the propensity for environment protection and the resource nationalism. On the other hand the supply of particle board and pulp will increase because they are made from wasted wood and chips.

The paper examined the relationship between total and sector level electricity consumptions and economic growth in Korea for the period of 1980-2009. The results of unit-roots and cointegration tests show that all variables-real GDP, total, primary, manufacture, and service sector electricity consumptions-were not stationary and there were no linear combinations in the long run between electricity consumptions and economic growth. Thus, by using standard Granger-causality test we found that total, primary, and manufacture sector electricity consumptions were Granger-caused by economic growth, not vice versa. This means that causality runs from economic growth to each electricity consumption. However, there is no causal relationship between service sector electricity consumption and economic growth. These results imply that the government policies aimed at reducing electricity consumptions and increasing energy efficiency etc. can be feasible without deterring economic growth in Korea.

Banking and borrowing under the ETS may affect the low carbon technology investment level. If the indirect implementation measures are allowed, firms can gradually adjust their carbon reduction costs between implementation periods based on their carbon reduction costs and emission price forecasts. This implies that banking and borrowing may reduce or increase the level of low carbon technology R&D investment. In an oligopoly market, the effects of the measures are quite different from the ones in a perfectly competitive market. This is because the indirect implementation measures can shift market competition in Cournot competition model. The effects of banking and borrowing on the carbon reduction R&D investments depend on emission reduction costs, marginal production costs, discount rate, initial free allocation, and the cost reduction effects of R&D investment.

본 논문은 한국의 대표적인 두 시장, 코스닥시장과 증권거래소간의 투자전략을 비대칭적 정보가정에서 모형화하고, 정보상의 비대칭요소를 추정하여 최적포트폴리오를 구하는데 목적이 있다. 정보상에 비대칭적 시장들에서는 그 시장에 독특한 위험프리미엄이 존재하게 되는데, 이는 시장간의 효율적 포트폴리오를 구성하는데 있어서 비체계적 위험과 체계적 위험간의 구분이 불분명해지는 상황을 의미하며, 따라서 최적포트폴리오도 보다 복잡한 구조를 갖게 된다. 본 연구는 분석적 차원에서 정보상에 비대칭적인 것으로 가정되는 두 자본시장, 즉 코스닥시장과 증권거래소에서의 최적포트폴리오 전략을 살펴보고, 두 시장간의 비대칭성이 주는 의미와 그것이 최적 투자정책에 미치는 영향의 정도를 분석하고, 비대칭적인 두 시장에서의 균형조건을 살펴본다. 먼저, 최적포트폴리오 전략을 살펴보고, 자산가격 움직임에 있어서 차익거래의 영향을 분석하며 이에 대한 정보상으로 비대칭적인 두 시장간의 포트폴리오 전략과의 관계도 분석하였다. 이어서 비대칭적 상황을 발생시키는 다양한 요소들을 살펴보며 이와 같은 정보비대칭요소가 기대수익수준에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 확률과정의 최적화 방법을 이용하여 추정하였다. 따라서 관련정보를 보유하지 못한 일반투자자들의 경우, 이 추정치를 이용하여 새로운 포트폴리오를 구성하게 될 것이다. 이 또한 불편추정치로서 최적포트폴리오로서의 역할을 하고 있는 것으로 해석된다. 그러나 비대칭요소 추정치의 정확도를 높이기 위해서는 정보를 확보하여야 하며 이에 따라 정보비용도 증가하게 되며 이 또한 최적포트폴리오의 수익성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 정보비용수준을 포트폴리오의 수익성을 고려하여 결정하여야 하며 이 점에 있어서 본 연구는 어떤 조건하에서 정보비용을 감안한 코스닥시장에의 투자결정이 이루어질 수 있는지를 분석하고 그 기준을 확률적 방법을 이용하여 제시하였다.
