통일기금의 목적은 현재의 소비를 줄이고 총저축(정부저축+민간저축)을 증가시키는 것이다. 그럼으로써 현재의 부(富)를 통일(統一)이 되는 시점으로 이전(移轉)시키고자 하는 것이다. 과연 이 목적은 달성될 수 있는가? 본 연구는 이에 대한 이론적인 분석을 시도하고 있다. 국채(國債)를 발행하여 조세의 부과시점(賦課時點)을 달리하더라도 경제주체의 소비수준은 변화하지 않는다는 주장이 있다(대등정리(對等定理), Ricardian Equivalence Theorem). 통일기금(統一基金)을 조성하는 것도 국채발행(國債發行)과 비교하여 부(富)의 이전방향(移轉方向)이 다를 뿐 징세시점(徵稅時點)의 변화라는 점은 동일하다. 따라서 대등정리에 의하면 통일기금의 목적은 달성될 수 없다. 조성된 통일기금만큼 민간 저축이 감소하기 때문이다. 그러나 통일기금에는 국채(國債)와 구별되는 두가지 본질적인 특징이 있다. 통일시점과 통일비용이 모두 불확실하다는 점이다. 이 두가지 불확실성은 미래의 가처분소득을 불확실하게 한다. 이와 같이 미래소득이 불확실할 때에는 대등정리가 성립하지 않는다는 것이 종래의 연구결과였다. 그러나 본고(本稿)는 2기(期) 중첩세대모형(重疊世代模型)(Overlapping Generations Model)을 이용하여 이 두가지 불확실성에도 불구하고 여전히 대등정리(對等定理)가 성립함을 보이고 있다. 즉 통일기금은 민간저축을 감소시키므로 총저축을 변화시키지 못한다.

Using Seoul Welfare Panel Study, this research examines regional differentials in income and asset between Gangnam households and Non-Gangnam households in Seoul. Applying the Oaxaca decomposition method, it also decomposes factors associated with the differentials into explained and unexplained components. Results show that average monthly income is about 4 million won for Gangnam households and 3.2 million won for Non-Gangnam households. The explained component accounts for most of the income differential, which mainly originates from differences in the distributions of individual and household characteristics associated with the monthly income. The net asset differential between the two regions is much greater than the income differential. The net asset is about 460 million won for Gangnam households and approximately 280 million won for Non-Gangnam households. Most of the net asset differential is remained unexplained after controlling for covariates which measure demographic characteristics of householders and various features of labor market in which household members are employeed. It implies that other factors such as inter-generational transfers of wealth may play a significant role in creating the net asset differential.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of income inequality on consumption expenditure in other to understand income-led growth policy. This is basically resulted in the income inequality had gotten worse since global financial crisis in many economies. Malthusian hypothesis which signifies the relationship between the income inequality and the consumption expenditure revisited for this purpose. The paper utilizes multiple break points regression and TGARCH model, and these methodologies are tentatively applied to the case of U.S and U.K. This is because that long-run time series data enables to formulate a stylized fact in general. Empirical evidence suggests that there does not exist a solid relationship among APC, income inequality by Gini coefficient, and consumption expenditure before the year of 2000, but Malthusian hypothesis is supported by weak basis in U.S while strong basis in U.K after since then. It implies that the income inequality has to be alleviated to maximize its effectiveness of the income-led growth policy.

This study examines recent trends in income inequality among the elderly in Korea. Aggregate income inequality trends are explained by examining evidence from inequality index decomposition by population subgroup and by income source. Data come from Korean Labor and Income Panel Study(KLIPS). The results are as follows. First, elderly income inequality increased from 1999 to 2002, and then decreased until 2008. Second, household composition changes appear to have disequalizing influence. The proportion of elderly people who are economically dependent on non-elderly family member or living with adult children has declined. Equalizing influence of private transfers also decreased between 2002 and 2008. These results indicate that the redistributive role of family has weakened over time. Third, the improvement of education level and changing occupational structure among the elderly household head contributed to increase in elderly income inequality. Fourth, earning's factor share has declined steadily, and the diminishing role of earnings provides equalizing influence on elderly income inequality from 2002 to 2008. Fifth, the impact of recent expansion of social insurance has changed over time. Inequality contribution of social insurance income increased from 1999 to 2002, and then decreased from 2002 to 2008.

The fourth fiscal estimate of the national pension following the aging of the population and falling yields estimated that the fund ran out in 2057, three years earlier than the third fiscal calculation. Accordingly, the government proposed a plan to immediately raise the insurance premium rate by 2 percent and maintain the income replacement rate by 45 percent, and to reduce the income replacement rate by 40 percent in 2028. In this form, increasing premiums and reducing income replacement rates will allow younger generations to sign up differently from existing subscribers, who previously had higher income replacement rates at lower rates. Therefore, the study aims to ease the burden on the elderly and younger by applying different insurance rates and income replacement rates for different ages.

본고(本稿)에서는 사회보장제도확충(社會保障制度擴充)과 관련된 자원배분(資源配分)과 소득재분배효과(所得再分配效果)를 국제비교(國際比較)와 경제적(經濟的) 결과(結果)를 중심으로 논하였다. 90년대를 향한 한국사회(韓國社會)가 처한 중요한 과제는 넓은 의미에서 형평(衡平)의 제고(提高) 및 국민복지수준(國民福祉水準)의 향상(向上)이다. 따라서 장기적 측면에서 볼 때 우리의 사회보장정책(社會保障政策)의 기본방향(基本方向)은 소극적 성격의 단순한 소득이전적(所得移轉的) 복지정책(福祉政策)이 아니라 그 원인을 제거하고 발생을 예방하는 적극적 복지정책(福祉政策)이어야 한다. 이를 위하여 사회보장부문(社會保障部門)에 대한 정책(政策)의 책임이 보다 강조되어야 하며 구체적으로 재정지출(財政支出)의 우선순위(優先順位)를 높여야 한다. 그러나 우리는 형평(衡平)의 추구(追求)를 단계적(段階的)으로 추진하면서도 동시에 경제성장(經濟成長)의 효율(效率)을 상당한 수준에서 유지하는 슬기를 가져야 할 것이다.

This study aimed to examine the effect of the income change and income level during the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals' depression, and to test how those associations may differ by gender. Participants consisted of 634 adults(M_age=44.18, SD_age=13.88, 313 females) recruited through an online research company. Participants completed a set of questionnaires that measured income change, average monthly income for the past six months, and the Korean version of CES-D. The results indicated that decreases in income, but not levels of income, significantly predicted levels of depression. Furthermore, both income change and income level interacted with gender to predict depression. Specifically, income change predicted depression only for males, while income level predicted depression only for females. These findings suggest that the effects of income-related indicators on depression during the pandemic may differ by gender. The study also offers practical implications by proposing gender as a potential factor to consider in early identification and intervention to prevent depression during the pandemic.

This paper intends to test the non-linear relationship between $CO_2$ emissions and income by employing cointegration model of the time-varying income elasticity. We select France, UK, Italy, Japan, US, China, India, Mexico and Korea and use non-parametric time series analysis on each country in order to estimate its own effect of income on $CO_2$ emission. The main results indicate that the $CO_2$ emission-income elasticities vary over time and the income elasticities of the Annex I countries tend to be higher in absolute terms than those of developing countries. In addition, we find that emission-income elasticities decrease for Annex I countries over time, whereas those for developing countries increase.

This study uses a quantile regression analysis to investigate intergenerational economic mobility in Korea. The analysis is based on data from the 1st through 11th waves of the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS) conducted from 1998-2008. The household nature of the data allows us to link parents' incomes to children's incomes at different points in time. Using a quantile regression analysis instead of mean one reveals that the effect of fathers' earnings are different across the conditional distribution of sons' earnings, particularly being larger on the upper quantile than on the lower quantile. After controlling effect of sons' college education by including a dummy variable for the degree, however, the pattern among quantile effects for fathers' earnings is no longer clear. Instead a new pattern emerges that education has a much larger effect on the upper quantiles than on the lower ones. Using nonparametric estimates of conditional density curves based on the quantile regression results, we derive some interesting features in graphical forms, which are not obvious in numerical analysis.
