본 논문에서는 향후 우리나라에 전자계 규제가 이루어질 경우 국민이 부담해야하는 사회 경제적 비용을 추정하였다. 여기에서 사회 경제적 비용의 추정은 전자계 규제치를 만족하기 위해 선로 지상고만을 조정하였을때 추가되는 건설비용을 기준으로 한 기초적 검토 결과로써 송전선로 표준 모델을 사용하여 예측한 결과 $20{\mu}T$로 기준 설정시 부터 사회 경제적 비용이 발생함을 알 수 있었으며, $10{\mu}T$로 기준 설정 시에는 약 20조원의 추가 비용이 발생할 것으로 예상된다.

This study estimated the socioeconomic costs of child poverty. Based on previous studies, the present study organized component categories for direct and indirect costs of child poverty, and estimated the cost of each category in 2015 through the collection of existing data and Delphi survey techniques among experts. The total socioeconomic costs of child poverty were compared to Korea's GDP. The results of this study were as follows. First, the socioeconomic costs of child poverty in Korea in 2015 ranged from 55 trillion KW(3.5% of GDP) to 99 trillion KW(6.5% of GDP). Second, the indirect socioeconomic costs of child poverty are much higher than the direct costs. Third, among the total cost categories, costs related to productivity loss and unemployment accounted for the largest portion of both the socioeconomic costs based upon absolute poverty and relative poverty. Crime costs are the second largest. Based on these results, we discussed the importance of early intervention for children in poverty; implementation of two-generation program that intervenes simultaneously with parents and children; and long-term, continuous and integrated intervention for high-risk groups such as poor children.

In South Korea, few researches have been conducted into the incidence of injury diseases and into their demographic and sociologic characteristics. This research has estimated and analyzed the results of an questionnaire investigation carried out by the Korea medical panel (2008) and the social economic costs. In particular, an estimation has been conducted of social costs for each type of accident, injury and intoxication and of medical use for the injuries. For the future, it is necessary to develop concrete programs customized for age, education level, economic income and to continually implement injury prevention education, with a view to reducing the injury incidence and medical expenses; and also, individuals' participation in and social and national efforts are required for an efficient operation of the health insurance, for the purpose of reducing social and/or economic costs for injuries in South Korea.

증가하는 HIV/AIDS 감염과 그로 인한 파괴적 결과는 세계적 관심사가 되었고, 발병률이 높은 지역에서 AIDS는 보건의료 문제를 넘어서 국민총생산을 감소시키는 사회경제적 문제가 되고 있다. 한국은 상대적으로 HIV감염 AIDS 발병률이 낮은 나라지만 당초 예상과는 달리 그 발병률이 둔화되고 있지 않으며, 1999년 이후 최근에는 감염자의 수가 급격히 증가하는 추세에 있다. 세계 다른 나라들이나 아시아의 주변국의 사정을 보면 우리나라도 결코 안전한 권역에 계속 머물러 있으리라는 장담을 하기가 어렵다. 특히 근년에 경제적 생산력이 왕성한 $20\~30$대 남성에서 HIV/ADIS 증가하고 있어, HIV/AIDS감염의 사회적 비용, 그 중에 특히 경제적 영향에 대한 관심이 커지고 있는 상황이다. 따라서 우리나라에서 발생하는 HIV/AIDS의 경제적 비용을 추산함으로써 증가하는 HIV/AIDS감염의 경제적 의미를 찾을 필요가 있다고 판단된다. 경제적 비용의 추산에 앞서 우선 우리나라 HIV/AIDS 감염자 수를 추계하여 보면 다음과 같다.

For child abuse prevention in Korea, this study estimated the socioeconomic costs of child abuse. Based on previous studies, the present study organized component categories for estimable direct and indirect costs of child abuse, and estimated the cost of each category in 2014 through the collection of existing data and through Delphi survey techniques among experts. The total socioeconomic costs of child abuse were compared to Korea's GDP. The results of this study were as follows. First, the socioeconomic costs of child abuse in Korea in 2014 ranged from 389.9 billion KW(0.03 percent compared to GDP) to 76 trillion KW(5.1 percent compared to GDP). Second, the indirect socioeconomic costs of child abuse are much higher than the direct costs. Third, costs related to productivity loss and unemployment accounted for the largest proportion of the total costs. In addition, the proportion of the child protection budget in Korea was very low compared to developed countries. These findings suggest that there is a need to increase Korea's child protection budget and to take urgent action to detect unrevealed child abuse cases. Furthermore, in order to reduce indirect costs, it is important to provide abused children with early professional treatment.

This study estimates the socioeconomic costs of missing children in Korea. The costs were classified as direct costs and indirect costs. The direct costs consisted of direct costs for searching for missing child such as making posters, transportation, and medical costs. The indirect costs were computed by the opportunity costs caused by child missing. The total costs that could be attributable to missing child were estimated to be about 570 million won per long-term missing child. This provides strong evidence that prevention of child missing is the most important and quick recovery after child is missing is the second most important. Missing child incurs substantial socioeconomic costs to the Korean society. Therefore, this study provides strong need for more interest from people who are indifferent to missing child issues and strong support for more government interventions to solve missing child problem in Korea. Further studies are needed to calculate socioeconomic costs of child missing more exactly.

농업부문이 사회에 제공하는 다양한 긍정적 외부효과가 인정됨에 따라, 대부분의 농업생산기반시설은 국부를 증진시키는 사회간접자본으로 인식되고 있다. 과거에는 수리시설을 비롯한 기반시설이 단지 생산성 향상을 위한 사회적 투자로 간주되었으며 따라서 사업에 대한 경제성 분석 또한 직접적인 경제적 효과에 대한 편익비용분석에 국한되었다. 그러나 최근에는 농업 및 생산기반시설이 제공하는 비시장적 가치가 점차 인정됨에 따라 그러한 가치 또한 경제성분석에 포함될 수 있다

Air pollutants have a high impact on everyday life as well as on human health; therefore, new technologies such as low-emission vehicles and add-on systems for air pollutant reduction are needed for our society. However, the environmental benefits and costs of those technologies are not taken into account in existing economic feasibility assessments, which is a barrier that needs to be overcome for green technology to achieve wide dissemination and fast penetration in the market. Thus, this study develops a methodology to assess the economic feasibility of an air pollutant reduction technology by taking into account the social costs from air pollutants and carries out a case study to validate the methodology. Because the social unit costs for air pollutants have not been evaluated yet in South Korea, the methodology uses the social unit costs evaluated for the European Union that are then converted to those for South Korea based on the measuring criteria for vehicle emission gases, parity purchasing price, foreign currency exchange rate, and customer price index. The social unit costs for South Korea are used to assess economic feasibility. A case study was performed to assess the economic feasibility of a dual fuel system using diesel and compressed natural gas by taking into account social costs from air pollutants as well as economic costs. This study could contribute to assessing the true economic feasibility of green technology, projects, and policy related with air pollutant reduction.

본 연구는 대기오염물질인 이산화질소와 인체의 호흡기질환과의 반응도를 실증분석하고, 이 반응도를 이용해 이산화질소의 대기오염으로 인한 사회적 비용을 계산하는 것이다. 사람들이 대기오염에 노출되었을 때 발생하는 질환의 피해를 측정하기 위하여 손실함수(damage function)를 설정하고, 이를 회귀분석기법(regression technique)을 이용해 추정한 결과 이산화질소는 호흡기질환에 상당히 유의적인 영향을 미쳤고, 1994년 한해 동안 배출된 이산화질소량이 발생시킨 사회적 비용은 약 8조 2천 억원이었다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the social costs of inland trucking and maritime transport between Kwangyang Port in Korea and the Great Lakes in US. Also, this study compares these social costs each other, and finds the way how to internalize them for the efficiencies of national logistics policies. This study uses the Contingent Valuation Method to evaluate the social costs for the two transport modes in each country. The final result is that the social cost difference between inland trucking and maritime transport around US Great Lakes area is not so significant that there are not many chances to enhance the maritime transport in the region. However, in case of Korea, there is significant difference in social costs between the two transport modes, so that Korea government may have a lot of chances to improve the seaborne trade by way of various internalization policies.
