The aim of the paper is to study environmental impacts of openness and trade in korea, and analyze the relationships between trade, development and environment. This study established endogenous determinants such as inflow FDI, level of environmental pollution and economic growth, and assumed a proposition that each individual variables are in two-way relationships among the three key variables such as the openness, the environment and GDP. To estimate a system of equations, a simultaneous equation model is used because the simultaneity problems are formidable. The results show that the more openness and economic growth increase, the more level of environmental quality improve. This study also found that FDI and openness, and economic growth bring along the level of environmental quality.

The purpose of this study is to explore the suitable creative class in korea as the core capital of creative urban growth under creative economy era. We are test to find it for two types of creative class. One is Richard Florida(2002)'s creative class, the other is Mcgranahan & Wojan(2007)'s recasting creative class. Data on 2010 for this paper are generated from Statistics Korea. As a result, we find that the economic geography of creative class is highly concentrated. Furthermore, the geography of creative class is strongly associated with innovation index and high-technology industry location. And Mcgranahan & Wojan(2007)'s creative class is more strong relationship between all dependent variables than Florida's. We also find that it has better power of explanation than Florida's with all of them in regression analysis. According to the results, this study suggests some solutions. First, this study can be provided to government and local policy makers as basis data and practical policy guide to attract creative class. Second, this paper presents standard about a diversity of definitions for creative class in Korea. Third, this research also facilitates follow-up studies about regional economic growth and creative climates.

This paper attempts to find out the economic roots of the increasing tendency not to choose the science and engineering (S&E) fields in the colleges. The analysis shows that the relative economic position of the S&E graduates measured in terms of employment quality is not significantly different from that of the non-S&E graduates. But the S&E graduates earn relatively low wage and self-employment income. Furthermore, the relative income of the top 5% bracket of the S&E graduates has been declining in the recent five years. The paper concludes that low relative income of the average S&E graduates as well as the increasingly lower relative income of the most able S&E personnel, coupled with the increasing compensating differential required for the S&E jobs, is the main reason for the 'avoidance' phenomenon of the S&E fields.

지식경영을 위한 기업의 투자는 지속되고 있다. 그러나 기업의 규모, 업종, 시스템에 대한 이해도 등 여러 가지 분류에 따라 도입 방법, 규모가 상이하다. 지식경영에 대한 이해는 경제의 권력이 지식인에게 소유될 것이라는 피터 드럭커의 주장과 함께 관심이 극대화되었다. 그러나 지식경영이 경영성과와 상관성이 높지 않다는 연구결과도 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 현상을 실증적으로 분석하기 위해 한국의 중부권 내 제조업 중심으로 지식경영실천유형의 부호화 및 개인화의 수준을 분석하고 이러한 유형이 경영성과와 어떤 상관성이 있는지 평균분석, 상관분석을 통해 연구하였다. 경영성과의 측정 변수는 BSC의 재무적 관점, 고객 관점, 직무 관점, 학습 및 성장관점의 측정 변수를 활용하였다.

본 연구에서는 리카도가 자신의 "정치경제학(政治經濟學)과 조세(租稅)의 원리(原理)"(이하에서는"원리(原理)"라고 하겠음) 3판에 새로이 도입한 "기계(機械)"의 내용을 중심으로 기술진보(技術進步)가 고용(雇傭)에 미치는 영향(影響)에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 리카도는 당시 대부분의 주류 경제학자들과 마찬가지로 과학의 발전과 기술진보로 인한 새로운 기계(機械)의 도입은 근로자, 자본가 및 지주를 포함하는 모든 계급(階級)에게 유리한 결과를 가져오리라 생각하였다. 그러다가 그는 "원리(原理)" 3판을 작성하면서 이러한 자신의 견해가 잘못된 것임을 시인하고, 새로운 기계(機械)의 도입이 근로자(勤勞者)에게는 불리한 결과를 가져올 수 있음을 분석적인 방법으로 보여주었다. 그러나 이러한 리카도의 시도는 당시 및 후대의 경제학자들에 의해서도 지적되었듯이 부분적으로 논리적인 오류(誤謬)를 범하였다. 리카도의 논리적 오류를 수정하면서도 그의 문제의지(問題意識)을 부각시키기 위해 본 연구에서는 힉스에 의해 도입된 신(新)오스트리안(Neo-Austrian) 자본개념(資本槪念)과 이에 입각한 기술진보(技術進步)의 형태분류를 리카도의 분석틀에 적용시켰다. 그 결과 일정한 형태의 기술진보하에서는 수익성이 높은 기계(機械)가 도입될지라도 과도기적으로 고용(雇傭) 및 총생산물(總生産物)에 불리한 효과를 나타낼 수 있음을 보여주게 되었다. 그리고 과도기적으로 기계(機械)의 도입에 따른 기술적(技術的) 실업(失業)이 발생할 경우 그 기간에 영향(影響)을 주는 요인(要因)에 대해서도 살펴보고자 했다.

Digital transformation refers to the economic and social effects of digitisation and digitalisation. Although digital transformation acts as a useful tool for economic/social development and enhancing the convenience of life, it can have negative effects (misuse of personal information, ethical problems, deepening social gaps, etc.). The government is actively establishing policies to promote digital transformation to secure competitiveness and technological hegemony, however, understanding of digital transformation-related risk issues and implementing policies to prevent them are relatively slow. Thus, this study systematically identifies risk issues of the future society that can be caused by digital transformation based on quantitative analysis of media articles big data through the Embedded Topic Modeling method. Specifically, first, detailed issues of negative effects of digital transformation in major countries were identified. Then detailed issues of negative effects of artificial intelligence in major countries and Korea were identified. Further, by synthesizing the results, future direction of the government's digital transformation policies for responding the negative effects was proposed. The policy implications are as follows. First, since the negative effects of digital transformation does not only affect technological fields but also affect the overall society, such as national security, social issues, and fairness issues. Therefore, the government should not only promote the positive functions of digital transformation, but also prepare policies to counter the negative functions of digital transformation. Second, the detailed issues of future social risks of digital transformation appear differently depending on contexts, so the government should establish a policy to respond to the negative effects of digital transformation in consideration of the national and social context. Third, the government should set a major direction for responding negative effects of digital transformation to minimize confusion among stakeholders, and prepare effective policy measures.

The purpose of this paper is to estimate technical efficiency, scale efficiency, and environmental efficiency by income level of Korean farms, and analyze the factors to decide three efficiencies. Depending on the non-parametric methods, we estimate technical using inputs and outputs of total farms without assuming of goods or behavior of optimization. The average technical efficiency of total firms under constant return to scale and strong disposability is 0.437. The technical inefficiency was caused by 47.7% in pure technical inefficiency, 11.3% in scale failure, and 3.2% in environmental inefficiency. The number of firms under increasing return to scale occupied almost 70% and 27% of total firms respectively. Higher are income class, middle debt & long debt per asset, and N effluents per cultural land, higher technical efficiency. The increases of BOD discharges per cultural land and machines per cultural land deteriorate environmental efficiency.

This study aims to investigate human capital in Korea's online game industry (as the representative of IT-based creative services) under the knowledge-based economy paradigm. In recognition of the importance of intellectual capital closely intertwined with human capital and the economic potential of the online game industry, Korean government has begun to show active support. In this context, this study measures the human capital efficiency in online game business by using non-parametric analysis (Data Envelopment Analysis, DEA). Most previous studies (human capital theory, knowledge based economy theory, economic growth theory) have proved that human capital has a very positive effect on sustainable growth of corporate management and wealth of nations. As such, this paper uses the DEA to obtain the efficiency of the human capital (scale, investment, education, compensation). The results of this study will suggest strategic implications on maximizing the human capital in online game corporations and provide a reference frame for government policies.
