This paper attempts to re-evaluate the size of housing wealth effect in Korea. Our focus is on the size of 'genuine' housing wealth effect, i.e., the response of consumption spending by home-owners to the changes in housing wealth. Two issues show up while we estimate the 'genuine' wealth effects using aggregate time series data: the issues around home ownership and proper measure of consumption. We first argue that it is more appropriate to use non-housing consumption, because housing consumption is in large part not of the choice of home owners but the imputed rents they do not actually choose to pay. We then proceed to address the issue of home ownership, by examining how much to revise the estimates of housing wealth effect obtained from aggregate non-housing consumption data. We construct two structural models and estimate the share of home-owners' consumption in those models' context. It is found that, if properly revised in light of the estimated consumption shares of home-owners, the magnitude of resulting housing wealth effects are larger than what simple time series regressions imply.

This study analyzes the consumption patterns of the poor households. The first objective of this analysis is to show that the group living in poverty get not one consumption pattern but several types of consumption patterns. The second objective is to understand what factors effect the consumption patterns. This study use the data of Korea Welfare Panel Study in 2008 & 2009. In oder to achieve first goal, We conduct factor analysis and cluster analysis. And to achieve second goal, We conduct multinomial logistic Analysis. Major findings are as follows. First we find six patterns of consuming types of the poor households. They are education oriented consuming type, diet oriented type, social network oriented type, transportation-communication oriented type, health & medical oriented type, and housing expenditure oriented type. Second we find these consumption patterns are effected by not economic factors but socio-populational factors, especially by life cycle of members of household.

The paper is basically designed to investigate how regional consumption affects to regional income in Korea by introducing a model with panel cointegration, rational expectation and FM-OLS cointegration methodology. Empirical evidence reveals that the regional income could be stimulated by manipulating the regional consumption due to the fact that current regional consumption and first-lagged regional income are positively related to the level of regional income. Although there exists a possibility to increase the regional income which is associated with a spending multiplier in the group of regions with highly calculated MPC, but not in the groups of regions with middle and low calculated MPCs. To this end, it could be tentatively concluded that market-oriented system should be implemented elaborately to enable that the spending multipliers are appropriately operated in these two groups.

This study was carried out to analyze the consumption expenditure condition of elderly persons with and without physical disabilities by social economic status and sociodemographic characteristics and to compare the results of those two groups for making an offer the basic materials to provide political support for elderly persons with physical disabilities. The statistical analysis of collected data was enforced through T-test, ANOVA and Crosstabs with SPSS 19.0 program. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the group with disabilities has presumed to be in relative poverty given that disposable income, academic career and total living expenses showed lower than the other group. Second, the component ratios of domestic foods and housing expenses of disabled group showed higher but those of specific spending items of expenditure such as social activities, reserving fund of social security for economic safety net, clothing and eating out expenses showed lower than the other group.

본(本) 연구(硏究)에서는 가계(家計)가 소비지출시 어느 정도 유동성제약(流動性制約)(liquidity constraint)하에 처해 있는가를 분석하기 위하여 이론적인 모형(模型) 제시와 함께 한국(韓國) 일본(日本) 미국(美國)을 대상으로 실증분석(實證分析)을 시도하였다. 3개국 공히 내구재(耐久財) 소비지출시 비내구재(非耐久財) 소비에 비해 상대적으로 유동성제약 현상이 더 심한 것으로 추정되었다. 특히 우리나라의 소비자들은 내구재와 비내구재 등 모든 형태별 소비지출에 있어서 일본(日本)과 미국(美國)에 비해 더 심한 유동성제약하에 처해 왔던 것으로 나타났다. 1980년대에 들어서는 소비자금융시장에서의 유동성제약(流動性制約)이 점차 완화(緩和)되어 온 것으로 나타났으나, 여전히 일본과 미국의 수준을 크게 상회(上廻)하였다. 이러한 추정결과들은 장기간에 걸친 생산자(生産者) 중심의 금융제도 및 관행 등으로 인해 우리나라의 소비자금융시장(消費者金融市場)이 선진국에 비해 낙후(落後)되어 있음을 반영한다. 위의 분석결과는 향후 할부금융제도(割賦金融制度) 도입 등 소비자금융 규제 완화가 본격화되면 유동성제약(流動性制約)이 완화되어 가계의 차입(借入)과 저축(貯蓄)을 통한 소비의 평탄화(平坦化)(smoothing)가 가능해짐으로써 소비자의 후생(厚生)이 증대되고 경기변동(景氣變動)의 진폭이 축소될 것임을 시사한다. 또한 소비자금융의 활성화는 기존의 유동성제약하에 처해 있었던 가계들의 소비를 촉진시켜 단기적으로는 경제 전체의 저축률(貯蓄率) 하락요인으로 작용할 가능성도 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to understand the diverse lifestyles of Korean older adults by analyzing the consumption pattern of older households and its determinants. The 9th wave of the Korea Labor and Income Panel Study(KLIPS) data was used for analysis. The twenty consumption items provided by the dataset was reduced to thirteen according to the consumption purpose inherent in the item. K-means cluster analysis and multinomial logistic regression was employed to categorize the consumption pattern of older households and to analyze the determinants. The results are as follows. The consumption pattern of Korean older adults was clustered into six distinctive groups named Breadwinner, Leisure-time pursuer, Friendly outgoes, Daily-life survivor, Illness sufferer and Shelter seeker. Breadwinner, Leisure-time pursuer and Friendly outgoes were lifestyles that earn and spend more compared to the other three. Nevertheless, they differed according to the family size, indicating that the parenting burden might have direct influence on the lifestyle of Korean older adults. Older adults without parenting burden and with high level of education and economic capacity were likely to show Friendly outgoes lifestyle. On the other hand, Daily-life survivor, Illness sufferer and Shelter seeker showed lower level of spending, indicating that for those lacking in economic capacity, urgent needs such as medical need or housing need dominates the lifestyle. The results call for adequate custom policies that best fit the needs of older adults.

Understanding professional baseball fans' expenditure is expected to provide fundamental marketing information that help increase each team's marketing profits and values and produce a better economic impact on its community. In this regard, this study employed a survey method with a total of 372 residents located in Changwon. A questionnaire included factors such as demographics, consumption patterns and perceived socio-psychic effect(PSE), all of which were derived from literature review. A binary logistic regression was modeled with a dichotomous dependent variable, expenditure(30,000 won more or less). The following were input in the model as the independent variables in order to see the relationships; gender, marriage, education, occupation, income, location, age, leisure type, distance, companion, transportation, interest, and PSE. The results of the logistic regression analysis are as follows. Overall, the model was statistically significant, χ²(21, N=372)=59.159, p=.000. Cox and Snell R² was reported as .147 and .200 respectively. So, the model accounted for between 14.7% and 20.0% of the variation in expenditure. Among the independent variables, income, location, companion, and PSE were found to be the significant factors to expenditure. For income, subjects with 2 million won less of income, compared to those with 4 million won more, were .38 times less likely to pay the money of 30,000 won more. For location, subjects in Masan, compared to those in Jinhae, were 3.49 times more likely to pay 30,000 won more. Subjects in Changwon, compared to those in Jinhae, were 3.05 times more likely to pay 30,000 won more. For companion, people visiting the stadium alone, compared to those with friends/colleague, were .36 times less likely to pay 30,000 won more. For PSE, the odds of 30,000 won more paid increased by 1.37 times with one-unit increase in PSE.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of income-led growth path induced by government and consumption expenditures. Six of Nordic countries, Latin American countries and South Korea are selected for this purpose due to the fact that these countries have been pursuing income-led growth policy for more than the last decade except South Korea. The structural equation is formulated based on the government and consumption expenditures with lagged variable, and the GLMs estimation is employed for empirical analysis. Although the impacts are not overwhelmingly effective, empirical evidence suggests that income-led growth path contributes to stimulate economic activities which are associated with increasing in national income in Nordic countries and South Korea. However, the income-led growth path is quite weakly operated. Furthermore, it is even unstable in Latin American countries. In addition to this, the policy target would rather be focused on middle consumption group than low consumption group. Overall, it would be concluded that the income-led growth policy should be implemented for complementary purpose. And, it also has to be mentioned that sustainable growth may not be achievable by this policy.

This study examined how the differences in household characteristics influence consumer expenditure patterns. The Price-Scaling AIDS model with household income and expenditure survey data were used for the analysis. The results showed that the income elasticity of the service items is greater than non-service items, indicating an increase in higher demand of service items with the same increase in household income. The household expenditure patterns vary according to the commodities, holding age and income level. The so-called traditional pattern, which emphasizes spending for non-service items, changed to the one with a higher expenditure ratio for service items. Such a change in household expenditure patterns naturally derives the expansion of the relevant service market; hence, the growth of the related service industry. This highlights the need to formulate an appropriate response from the supply side that deals with the changes in the service market.
