가상화 기술의 발달은 클라우드 데이터센터(cloud datacenter)에서의 서버 통합(server consolidation)을 지원하며 이를 통하여 물리적 머신(physical machine, PM) 관리 비용을 감소시킬 수 있다. 그러나 서버가 통합됨에 따라 가상 머신(virtual machine, VM) 간섭이 생길 수 있고 이는 성능 감소의 원인이 된다. 따라서 VM 간섭과 PM 관리 비용을 감소시키는 것은 트레이드오프(trade-off)를 이루며 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 VM 간섭 계측(quantizing)을 위한 기법과 비용 효율적 VM 배치(placement)를 위한 휴리스틱(heuristics)을 제안한다.

스마트워터그리드의 목적은 기존 용수부족 문제의 근본적인 해결을 위해 새로운 취수원을 개발하고, 지역 내의 수자원을 효율적으로 활용하는 방안을 강구하는 시스템을 구축하는데 있다. 따라서 운영비용을 최소화하면서 수요처에 적정한 수량과 수질의 용수를 공급할 수 있도록 해야한다. 스마트워터그리드 구축 시 설비 비용에 대한 부담으로 보급 확산에 어려움을 겪을 가능성이 높으므로, 비용 효과적(Cost-effective)인 측면에서 스마트워터그리드의 경제성을 검토할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 자료의 한계로 인해 기존의 다중수원에 대한 경제성분석 사례를 인용하여 상수도 생산원가 절감액, 댐 건설과 관련된 비용의 감소, 물 오염 감소 등으로 편익을 간접적으로 계산하고, 기술적으로 물량이 충분하다는 가정하에 다중수원들간의 비용효과분석 수행하였다. 분석결과, 현재 공급하고 있는 상수도 시스템이 다른 다중취수원에 비해 비용효과적 우위에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 지하수, 해수담수화 등 새로운 수원을 찾는 노력이 필요하며 지하수는 가장 쉽게 활용할 수 있는 대체 수원이지만, 관정개발에 많은 비용이 들고 대량으로 수원을 공급하기 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 해수담수화는 대체수자원으로서 중요성이 더욱 강조될 것으로 보이지만, 시설의 설치 및 운영에 드는 높은 비용과 함께 육지에서 물을 대량으로 연안에서 멀리 떨어져 있거나 고도가 높은 지역은 해수담수화 기술의 적용이 어려울 것으로 여겨진다.

석탄에 대한 아황산가스 규제가 발전산업에 미치는 제반 효과들을 측정하기 위해서는 생산요소의 왜곡된 분배로 인한 생산비용의 증가 또한 고려하여 암묵요소가격을 이용한 일반비용함수를 추정해야 한다. 아황산가스 규제를 포함한 여러 형태의 규제하에서 생산요소간의 한계기술대체율이 시장가격율과 일치하지 않음으로써 기업들의 생산비용최소화는 이루어지지 않기 때문이다. 1975년부터 1990년까지의 표본기간동안 아황산가스 규제로 인하여 미국 석탄발전소들의 생산비용이 평균적으로 6.1% 증가되었고 아황산가스를 추가적으로 1톤 저감하는데 드는 한계비용을 배출량몫 가중평균치로 측정하면 규제를 받은 기업들은 평균적으로 매년 539달러를 소비하였다. 생산요소인 자본과 노동 그리고 저유황석탄의 수요량은 평균적으로 5.8%, 5.2%, 그리고 29.6% 각각 증가된 반면 고유황석탄 수요량은 0.7% 감소되었으며 규제를 받은 기업들의 연 생산성은 평균적으로 1.52% 감소되었다.

In this paper, we test empirically free cash flows hypothesis about stock repurchase. The main results of this study can be summarized as follows. First, repurchasing firms do not experience a growth in profitability relative to their peer firms. Second, repurchasing firms experience a contraction in their investment opportunity, and so capital expenditures and cash reserves decline after the repurchase. Third, repurchasing firms experience a decline in systematic risk and investments and in their cost of capital. Fourth, the reduction in profitability and cost of capital are sources of the positive market reaction to the repurchase announcement. And the market reaction to stock repurchase announcements is stronger among those firms that are more likely to overinvest. Conclusively, these results support free cash flows hypothesis. When firms experience a decline in profitability, capital expenditures and cash reserves, systematic risk and cost of capital, they decide to repurchase stocks to reduce free cash flows.

The purpose of CBA(cost-benefit analysis) in risk assessment is to show whether the benefits of implementing additional risk reduction methods(RRMs) derived through risk assessment outweigh its costs and it is proper to implement the methods. In this paper CBA has been conducted in order to select the most effective and reasonable RRM as implementing the RRM derived after QRA for the high pressure urban gas pipelines. As conducting QRA again by applying the derived RRMs, No. 10 measure which includes pipeline corrosion monitoring, MOV(motor operated valve) installation and the method to protect pipeline damage caused by third-party mechanical interference has showed the highest risk reduction effect. Also it has been considered to be reasonably practicable by conducting CBA and then is selected as the most effective and reasonable RRM on the objects of this paper.

Four alternative plans for the bus network in Daejeon metropolitan city, which have different hierarchical structure, were proposed : Alternative 1 represents a bus network without hierarchical structure, and Alternative 2, 3, and 4 represent bus networks with primary, intermediate, and advanced hierarchical structures, respectively. Efficiency of the alternative plans were evaluated based on the evaluation index including travel time cost, waiting time cost, and transition penalty cost. The travel time cost was decreased as the level of hierarchical structure gets higher until it reaches the extremely high level. As the level of hierarchical structure get higher, the waiting time cost significantly decreased while the transition penalty cost increased. Collectively, a bus network with hierarchical structure was shown to be more efficient than without it in the light of total travel cost. For the bus network with hierarchical structure, total travel cost shows a concave curve, which implies that there exists an optimal level of hierarchical structure in a bus network.

This study estimates the VSL(value of a statistical life) as well as the WTP(willingness to pay) for mortality risk reduction using sample selection model with data on liver cancer examination which is associated with little possibility of multi-purpose(i.e. joint production) in averting behavior. The marginal benefits of mortality risk reduction are estimated by applying for household production function model with medical expense and the time required for medical examination of liver cancer. Individuals are more likely to take liver cancer test if they are male, older, higher educated, those with spouse, smoker, more income of household, and more anxious about their health. The costs of liver cancer examination are statistically significantly affected with expected signs by size of mortality risk reduction, sex, period of eduction, those with spouse, and household income. The marginal effect of mortality risk reduction owing to taking liver cancer examination is estimated at 321,097 won. The costs of liver cancer examination are increased by 905 won with more one year of education period and by 1,743 won with more one million won in household income. On liver cancer examination, male spends more 12,310 won than female and those with spouse pay more 7,969 won than those without spouse. Therefore the VSL from mortality risk reduction due to liver cancer examination is 321.10 million won at mean size of mortality risk reduction and mean cost of liver cancer examination. The results of sensitivity tests on costs and effects of liver cancer test shows that the VSLs are estimated in a range from 160.55 million won to 642.19 million won.

This study shows that it is favorable for Korean companies to maintain fairness and authenticity trading relationship with trading companies. It suggests that a positive reputation can be secured, trust relationships can be built, and transaction costs can be reduced. For this purpose, research hypothesis was established, questionnaires were collected for domestic companies, and a hypothesis test was conducted. As a result of the research hypothesis test, the perception of transaction fairness and the perception of transaction authenticity have a positive effect on reputation, and the reputation has a positive effect on trust. Trust has a positive effect on the reduction of transaction costs, and reputation and trust play a role in the perception of transaction fairness and transaction authenticity and the reduction of transaction cost, and trust is a parameter between reputation and reduction in transaction cost. Do it. In order for sustainable management activities to be carried out for Korean companies, it is necessary to improve fairness and authenticity in business relations. It is important to have a positive reputation. It has been demonstrated that securing a positive reputation can develop into a trust relationship and ultimately lead to a decrease in transaction costs.

This paper presents a method to improve reliability considering dispersed generator(DG) installation and interruption cost with load types. It is used to the different interruption costs with load pattern of daily peak load. The objective functions such as power losses cost operation cost of DG, power buy cost and interruption cost are minimized for reliability improvement and efficient operation. The several indices for reliability evaluation are improved by dispersed generator installation. The proposed method is applied to IEEE 13 bus test systems to demonstrate its effectiveness.
