This article aims to investigate the impact of Korean employment protection legislation that has implemented since 2007 on eliminating discrimination on non-regular worker's wage and social security. It is used the panel Tobit model reflecting the variation of implementation time according to the size of establishments. Although the employment protection laws for non-regular workers have implemented, the wage gap and discrimination in social security for non-regular workers have continued. Of course, the discrepancies on wage and social security were founded not only between regular and non-regular workers but also within non-regular workers. For reducing the discriminations, this study proposes to restrict the reason for justifying discrimination, and the introduction of a new approach to accessing the discrimination and complimentary credit system. Besides, this study suggests to actively review the strengthening of regulations on the use of non-regular workers.

In this study we investigate the ability of the yield spread to predict economic recessions in two Asian economies. For our purpose we use the data from two emerging economies (South Korea and Thailand) that are also known for their openness in terms of exports and imports. We employ both two-regime Markov-Switching model (MS) and three-regime MS model to estimate the probability of recessions during Asian crisis. We found that the yield spread is confirmed to be a reliable recession predictor for Thailand but not for South Korea. The three-regime MS model is better for capturing the Asian financial crisis than two-regime MS model. We also tried to find the duration of economic expansions and recessions. We tested the hypothesis of asymmetric movements of business cycles. The MS results are also compared with that of the standard probit model for comparison. The MS model does not significantly improve the forecasting ability of the yield spread in forecasting business cycles.

China has retained economic growth rate of average 9% for more than ten years recently after China introduced capitalistic market economy system in 1979 by Deng Xiaoping. China has attracted foreign direct investment for a long time because it has retained very high economic growth rate, low labor cost, and various policies for foreign investors. This paper tries to analyse the determinants of foreign direct investment inflow after reform-opening of China with empirical analysis methods utilizing each province·city's specific characteristics by using the panel data from 1985 to 2013. For the empirical analysis we use random effect model, fixed effect model, pooled OLS, and random coefficient model. The results by pooled OLS and random coefficient model are presented for the comparison with the main results in the process of research. The research shows the results by fixed effect model are better than those by random effect model after doing Hausman's test. The results shows that GRDP, capital stock, and telecommunication exert a positive relationship with foreign direct investment, while express way variable exerts a negative one. China's education level surprisingly does not attract foreign direct investment even though it is not at a critical level. Therefore, the Chinese government should try to increase national income level as it symbolizes market size; encourage domestic investment; and construct high quality telecommunication infrastructure.

The members of Food Valley in Netherlands recognised that the networking function is the most important among demand articulation, network formation and innovation-process support. Furthermore, SMEs expect the support of internationalization from Food Valley organization. It is expected that the function of Food Valley which can establish effective network and environment for open innovation will be more significant in the future. Our government also designated Iksan as a national food cluster for preparing the growth of international food market and promoting the effective growth of domestic food industry. As noted earlier in the case of Food Valley, the government should make Iksan Cluster focus on building network for innovation and development of domestic food industry through making innovative environment between food industry and local university. And then, this food cluster will become the center of export of food products and sophistication of domestic food sector.

This paper investigates the spillover effect of the U.S. Interest on Korea's interest rate as well as the role of exchange rate in the spillover effects, by utilizing a open macro model on the determinants of long-term interest rates. According to the cointegration estimation and the Impulse response function, it is found that, across both long-term and short-term, there exist the spillover effect of the U.S. Interest on Korea's interest rate. The fiscal deficit and expected exchange rate have significantly positive relationship with the Koreas's long-term interest rate. Further, foreign exchange market intervention in Korea did not have significant effect on the spillover effect. Thus, this study suggests that exchange rate flexibility would not be enough to restrain the spillover effects of the U.S. interest rate.

우리나라는 농산물시장개방이후 휴경면적의 증가, 농지전용, 도시화의 가속화, 시설작물 재배면적 변화 영향에 의한 논과 밭의 이용 패턴변화 등으로 농촌지역의 토지이용구조가 변화되어 왔다. 이는 곧 국내 토지이용패턴의 변화로 연결되고, 농업구조의 변화는 농촌경관, 농업용수 이용, 농촌지역 비점오염 물질 발생패턴의 변화를 야기할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 금강권역을 연구지역으로 하여, 농업지역의 토지이용변화 중 논 내 시설작물 재배면적 변화에 주안점을 두고 토지이용변화 예측모형인 CLUE-s(Conversion of Land Use and its Effects at Small regional extent) 모형을 이용하여 미래 농업지역의 토지이용변화를 예측하고자 하였다. CLUE-s 모형의 입력 자료로 국가수자원관리종합시스템(WAMIS)의 1980~2010년까지 5년 간격 토지이용 통계자료 및 환경부 2008, 2013년 중분류 토지이용 자료에서 금강유역을 추출하여 구축하였다. 모형의 입력자료를 위해 토지이용 항목을 총 7개(수역, 시가지, 논, 밭, 시설재배지, 산림, 초지)로 분류하고 특별토지이용 정책 자료로 농업진흥구역도 및 국토환경성 평가도를 이용하였다. 관측자료의 경향을 이용하여 환경부 중분류 토지이용 변화를 기준으로 농업지역(논, 밭, 시설재배) 변화에 대한 회귀식을 도출하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 활용하여 농업지역 변화에 따른 수문 및 수질의 영향을 파악하고 미래 토지이용 변화에 따른 농촌지역 비점오염 물질 발생패턴 등을 분석하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용할 것으로 판단된다.

Modern society is operated based on the internet, wireless networks, and digital devices to the extent that it is called a digital society. In particular, as most of financial transactions, information movement, and commercial activities are based online, various social problems and side effects related to this are increasing rapidly. Representative examples include industrial espionage activities and leakage of industrial technology, and social problems such as illegal goods trade such as drugs using online and online gambling are increasing to a serious level. These digital-based social problems cannot be solved only by the activities and capabilities of judicial institutions such as police and prosecutors. Now that the private investigation market is open, active intervention using them is necessary. To this end, it is necessary to actively cultivate private investigator's ability to investigate and collect evidence in relation to digital social and criminal problems. In addition, each private investigation education institution or association should actively invest and research this.
