The purpose of this paper is to analyze the trend on scale efficiency of the Port of Gwangyang from 1994 to 2004 using CCR, BCC, and Malmquist index approaches. The main results are as follows. first, scale efficiency shows a 50% similar [5(94/95, 95/96, 97/98, 2001/2002, 2003/2004) out of 10] pattern to technical efficiency change. Second, total factor productivity increased at 48.57% rate of growth on average in 6 out of 10 periods except 96/97, 97/98, 99/2000, and 2000/2001. 2003/2004 period is the one period experiencing rapid total factor productivity changes, mainly due to technical progress. Third, the ranking order of accumulative indices is scale efficiency change, TFP change, efficiency change, technical change, and pure efficiency change. The main policy implication of this paper is that according to the CCR, BCC, and Malmquist results, the Port of Gwangyang should develop the plan for enhancing the 5 Malmquist indices with following the management way of benchmarking ports.

The aim of this study was to analyze the productivity changes in government-funded research institutes for Economics & Humanities and Social Sciences. From Malmquist total factor productivity index analysis, the average productivity decreased 6.5% between 2006 and 2010. Further analysis showed that technical efficiency increased 4.7% annually while the technology change rate decreased 10.8% on average. Under pressure for innovation from the outside, research institutes responded to managerial efficiency improvement, which lead to increases in technical efficiency. On the other hand, for productivity improvement of government funded research institutes, they must pursue technological advances by securing an outstanding research workforce, expanding the R&D budget, and changing the R&D method. Each institute must perceive the cause of an individual institute's productivity change, and establish strategies for increasing productivity.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the change in the productivity of Korean life insurance industry by Generalized Malmquist productivity indices. Generalized Malmquist indices will be decomposed into three components such as pure efficiency change, scale efficiency change, and technical change. The principal findings indicate an overall increase in productivity driven more by technical progress than pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency.

This study utilizes DEA/Window analysis in order to investigate the relative efficiency levels of korea national university libraries during the period of transition 2004-2008. The empirical results show the following findings. Firstly, a technical efficiency was not efficient which was a scale efficiency rather than a pure technical efficiency in 2008. Secondly, a technical and pure technical efficiency has increased steadily from 2004 to 2008(but a technical, pure technical efficiency has decreased since in 2008). As a result, a technical efficiency increase can be explained by a pure technical efficiency increase.

This paper measures R&D efficiency and productivity changes of 24 nations including Korea, Japan and China by the non-parametric Malmquist productivity index. The principle findings of this study are as follows. First, R&D efficiency scores of Korea and Japan are 0.837 and 0.834 respectively. Meanwhile China shows 0.420, the worst performance among the selected countries. Second, Korea marked annual productivity increase of 25%, highest among the selected countries', for 2000-2005. R&D productivity in Japan and China, however, decreased 1.9% and 0.9% respectively. Third, annual rates of technology change and technical efficiency change in Japan are 0.6% and -2.5%. Therefore decrease of productivity in Japan is mainly due to technical inefficiency. In case of China, improvement of technical efficiency is the main contributor to productivity growth but technical progress has edged downward in the sample period. In Korea, with annual rate of technology change and technical efficiency change being 5.2% and 18.2% respectively, both efficiency improvement and technical progress has pulled the R&D productivity growth.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficiency of budget utilization of science and technology by the Chinese autonomous province and to present the direction of improvement. Data were obtained from the 2013-2017 statistical yearbook of higher education published by the Ministry of Education of China, and efficiency was analyzed using the malmquist analysis method. The analysis found that the low technological progress caused changes in the productivity MPI index, and that cities affected by technological efficiency needed to improve internal factors such as internal coordination and restructuring of universities in the region to increase efficiency. And it was found that areas affected by technological change needed proper response to external factors such as government policy, economic environment, social environment or technological development. This study is meaningful in that it presented reference data in enhancing efficiency of budget utilization of science and technology by autonomy of China, and it is necessary to establish strategies and study essential factors to increase efficiency of inefficient areas in the future.

The purpose of this study is to estimate total factor productivity(TFP) growth by stochastic frontier function and to grasp contributing factors of its growth rate by decomposing the total factor productivity into efficiency change, technical progress, scale change, and allocation change. Annual growth rate of total factor productivity for 1990-2003 is 0.019 (1.9%), higher than that of overall industry (0.010). The main component of TFP growth is not efficiency change but technical progress. Contributing factors of total factor productivity growth are change of allocation efficiency in port industry, technical progress in sea-transportation industry, and change of scale efficiency in transportation-equipment industry. The change of total factor productivity shows a decreasing trend since late in the 1990s. The annual technical efficiency of port-logistics industry is less than that of overall industry. Capital elasticity for output (0.391) is higher than labor elasticity (0.227), but scale economy of port-logistics industry is 0.618, which is far from optimal scale economy.

지구 온난화 현상 및 이상기후로 지구환경 변화는 물환경 변화에 많은 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히, 지표수에 의존도가 높은 국내의 수자원 공급시스템은 지구환경 변화에 의한 강우 분포의 시간적, 공간적 불균질성에 대한 취약성이 높으며, 이에 기후변화에 따른 상대적 변동성이 적은 지하수자원의 활용 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 지하수 인공함양 기술은 강우, 지하수 및 하수 처리수 등의 잉여 수자원을 관정, 수로, 인공함양 분지 및 습지, 지하댐 등의 인공시설물을 활용하여 지하 대수층에 주입시킨 후 양질의 수자원을 확보하는 기술이다. 이번 연구에서는 수치해석을 활용하여 함양지역의 유역형상 및 지층경사, 대수층 두께, 체류시간, 수리상수 등 수리지질 인자를 고려한 인공함양 방식별 인공함양 효율성을 평가하고자 한다. 인공함양 방식은 수직관정 및 수로(Ditch)를 적용하였다.

최근 급격한 기후변화와 도시화로 인하여 강우량 및 강우강도는 약 20% 증가하고 강우일수는 14% 감소하며 도시 기온이 최대 $3^{\circ}C$까지 증가하는 등의 현실적인 문제가 발생하고 있다. 이로 인한 도시 물순환체계의 파괴는 도시물관리 여건의 악화로 이어지고 특히 불투수면적 증가로 인한 도시 홍수 및 침수의 증가, 잦은 도시 고온 현상, 도시하천의 건천화로 수질 악화를 야기하는 실정이다. 이에 국토의 자연자원을 보전하고 기후변화에 적응하면서 도시의 안전도와 가치를 높이기 위한 물관리 정책은 먼저 물을 순환을 보다 적극적으로 반영하고 통합적인 물관리 체계 확보를 요구한다. 이를 위해서는 발생원 관리를 포함한 소규모 분산관리 체계로 변화하여야 하며 이들 시설에 대한 네트워크화를 통해 기후변화에 강건하고 통합관리쳬계를 구축하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해서는 저영향개발(LID, Low Impact Development) 및 그린인프라(GI, Green Infrastructure) 기반의 분산식 빗물관리기법의 도입이 절실하다. 현재 국내에서는 제도적으로 기후변화 대비, 지속가능한 도시환경 구축을 위한 물순환 건전화를 위해 100대 국정화제에 포함시키는 등(2013.2) 도시계획 및 기반시설 설치 LID기법의 법제적 산업적 도입을 추진중에 있으나, LID 기술의 수자원 치수, 이수 및 환경 효율성에 대한 객관적인 정보의 부재, LID 기술에 대한 효율성 검증 및 인증시스템의 부재, LID 기술의 무분별한 국외기술 도입으로 인한 효과 저감, LID 기술의 설계, 시공, 관리를 위한 매뉴얼 및 가이드라인의 부재, LID 기술에 대한 지자체 지원 및 전문가 양성 시스템의 부재 등 복합적인 문제를 안고 있어 GI 및 LID 기술의 적용을 통한 새로운 도시 및 유역차원의 수자원확보와 재해경감기술 패러다임 확보가 용이하지 않다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 강우유출수 관리를 위한 LID기술 신뢰도 향상 및 단일화, 표준화된 효율성 검증 기술 개발과 더 나아가서 도시-건축-수자원-도로-조경 등의 종합적인 인프라를 바탕으로 LID기술 통합관리 및 기술 고도화를 위해 부산대학교 GI LID 물순환 실증단지의 계획 및 구축을 수행하였다.

This study estimated and decomposed the productivity changes into technological change and efficiency change components for the photonics industry and examined ways of imporving the productive efficiency. Unlike most previous studies, this study employed a non-oriented Malmquist productivity index, which is a non-radial method and deals directly with the input surpluses and output shortfalls. The empirical results show that the productivity of the photonics industry has increased. The main reason for this is the increase in technical efficiency. In addition, there was a statistically significant difference in the productivity changes according to the firm's geographic location and participation in government support programs. These findings suggest that the government's regional strategic industry promotion policy has contributed to improvements in the productive efficiency of photonics industry. The approach presented in this study could be used as a practical reference guide to help enhance the competitiveness of the photonics industry.
