The purposes of this study are to explore the consumption expenditure and consumption-cultural meaning in the process of marriage and to provide consumer education programs for premarital couples. For the purpose, this study uses a qualitative analysis including an in-depth interview and a participant observation. Major findings are as follows: Consumers preparing for their marriage experienced quite a different consumption context, which should be said an exceptional practice from the economic point of view. As the agency businesses for marriage becomes one of the fast growing industries, the marriage of Korea is now under the rule of popular consumption culture. Thus, the exceptional consumption abuse during a marriage process brings about the imbalance in consumers' daily life after wedding ceremony. In this point of view, we can see the importance of consumer education programs for the marriage process. The latter half of this study is devoted to propose the desirable model of the consumer education program for premarital couples.

This study analyzed how not only socio-economic variables but also lifestyle variables affect the expenditure and the patterns of households. The result of multiple regression analysis resealed that economic variables(e.g, income, saving, property) and lifestyle variable(e.g, enjoyment and convenience seeking type) affected the consumption expenditure. Based on the result of cluster analysis, The consumption expenditure patterns of urban households were separated as 1)necessity dominant pattern, 2)transportation $.$ communication dominant patters, 3)other consumption dominant pattern, 4)education$.$culture and recreation dominant pattern. The result of logistic analysis revealed that debt, saying and living location variables were major factors to determine the consumption expenditure patterns of urban households. But did not Influence on the Consumption Expenditure Patterns.

탈세(脫稅)의 규모추정(規模推定)을 위해서는 우선 과세표준의 누락정도를 추정해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 1987년과 1988년 도시가계조사 테이프를 이용하여 소득(所得)-지출추계방법(支出推計方法)에 의해 탈루소득(脫漏所得)이 전체소득(全體所得)에서 차지하는 비중을 추정하였다. 그 결과 1987, 1988년 두 해의 탈루소득(脫漏所得)의 규모는 전체 GNP의 약 15%인 것으로 추정되었다. 다시 이렇게 추정된 탈루소득비율(脫漏所得比率)을 이용하여 소득세(所得稅)의 탈세규모(脫稅規模)를 추정하였으며, 그 규모가 전체소득세(全體所得稅)에서 차지하는 비중은 1987년에 10~11.3%, 1988년에는 8.7~9.8%에 달하는 것으로 추정된다. 한편 부가가치세(附加價値稅)의 과세표준인 민간소비지출(民間消費支出)의 탈루규모(脫漏規模)는 전체탈루소득(全體脫漏所得)과 거시민간소비함수(巨視民間消費函數)에 추정된 민간소비(民間消費)의 대(對)GNP탄력성을 이용하여 추정한 결과, 1987, 1988년 모두 10.5%인 것으로 추정되었다. 이에 따라 1987, 1988년의 부가가치세(附加價値稅)의 탈세규모(脫稅規模)는 10.5~16.5%에 달했던 것으로 추정된다.

Since its market opening in the year 1996, Korea's retail sector has witnessed the emergence of various new retail formats such as discount stores and Internet shopping malls. Given the competition among various retail formats, it is needed to analyze the previous trends and to measure the future potential of the market with more careful economic models. Using Time Series Analysis on Korean economy and distribution industry, we aim to economic models to follow the trends and to measure the future growth of competing retail formats such as department stores, discount stores and convenience stores. We have found that the growth of department stores, convenience stores and specialty store format is very closely related with the private consumption expenditure. On the other hand, private consumption expenditure is not a good variable to explain the growth of discount stores and the supermarket sector. Following an extensive data analysis, three year forecasting of Korean distribution market including six different retail sectors is proposed. In addition, several discussion points including statistical classification of retail formats are argued.

This paper analyzes whether local public expenditures have converged during the 1985-2011 periods in Korea, using the sixteen metropolitan and provincial governments data. We analyze the convergence of per capita real local public expenditures in terms of both static view and dynamic view of convergence. Furthermore, we derive the estimating equation for per capita real local government expenditure growth function from theoretical model based on Skidmore et al.(2004)[23]. The main results from empirical analyses are such that an increase in aged people helped local government expenditures increase. Also, we found that the convergence speed of economic expenditure is greater than that of social welfare expenditure. Similarly the convergence speed of public capital expenditure is greater than that of public consumption expenditure. In the future we had better examine the convergence of local public goods taking into account their congestion rates.

As energy conservation can be realized through changes in the composition of goods and services consumed, there is a need to assess indirect and total household energy requirements. The Korean household sector was responsible for about 55% of the country's primary energy requirement in the period from 1990 to 2000. And more than 60% of household energy requirement was indirect. Thus, indirect and total rather than direct household energy requirements should be the target of energy conservation policies. Increases in household consumption expenditure were responsible for a relatively high growth of energy consumption. Switching to consumption of less energy intensive products and decrease in energy intensities of products contributed substantially to reduce the increase in total household energy requirement.
