The objective of this study is to determine the short run and long run dynamics between maritime import volume (IMV), industrial production (IP), and real effective exchange rate (REER) of the Korean Won over the REER of certain major currencies (US Dollar, Chinese Yuan, and Japanese Yen) in Korea's Jeonnam province. The Johansen and Juselius cointegration results reveal that at least one cointegration vector or long-run relationship exists. Hence, this study estimated the long run equilibrium equation, which indicates that both IP and REER are inelastic, although the former is bigger than the latter. Moreover, the dynamic causality analysis reveals short and long-run unidirectional causality from IP and REER to IMV in all three models. Further, in all the models, the results indicate short run unidirectional causality from REER to IP. In addition, the impulse response (IR) results show that the impulse of IP and REER decayed after four months. Additionally, the IR analysis results indicate that the REER of the Korean Won over the REER of Japanese Yen is the biggest with respect to the impact of relative REER on IP, which is the proxy variable of regional real income. Thus, empirical results indicated that real income and REER play an important role in determining the Jeonnam's maritime import demand behavior in the short run and long run. More importantly, substantial actions reducing unexpected fluctuation of the REER and real income based on micro and macro economic policies will increase the imported volume in the ports of the Jeonnam province.

In recent years, many countries are committing to environmental conservation. Following this trend, successful policy implementation of SDGs with ESG management extended to the public sector is emerging as a keyword determining the success or failure of the capital market, countries, and individual companies. Accordingly, many countries are implementing various policies related to the environment. One of them is to implement national policies by introducing environmental taxes. These policies use environmental taxes to control pollution by indirectly influencing the behavior of producers or consumers through economic incentives rather than directly interfering with environmental pollution behavior. This study examines the status of environmental taxes in marine tourism sites in Korea, reviews the effectiveness of such policies, and suggests how to improve them by identifying limitations of the current system.

As an extreme-type crime caused by social anxiety and economic hardship, firearm accidents recently rising as a serious social problem are gradually increasing the national anxiety as people start realizing that Korea is no more a safety zone for firearm accidents. In order to improve it, the police and academia are presenting measures through the suggestion of diverse policies and also change of system. However, there are not sufficient researches in the aspect of technology while some people argue that they cannot become fundamental alternatives on top of its effectiveness issue. Thus, this study has suggested a more effective firearms safety control system in the aspect of technology.

Many governments have tried to develop a liability and compliance law that can improve cyber security in a sustainable way. This paper explores whether a liability and compliance law is effective in motivating firms' information security activities. In particular, I empirically investigate the impact of the 2007 Electronic Financial Transaction Act (EFTA), a liability and compliance law in Korea, on the information security activities of financial institutions and services providers. In spite of various criticisms of the effectiveness of EFTA, the empirical findings of this study clearly show that EFTA is having a positive impact on information security activities. From these findings, this article concludes that a liability and compliance law is likely to contribute to a certain degree to the achievement of sustainable development of cyber security.

This study tried to examine the validity of the technical and institutional method to perform the purpose of public interest in terrestrial broadcasting. For this purpose, this study concentrated to the rate of direct reception of the terrestrial broadcasting that government and broadcasting company have offered since the digital transition. Results of analysis, it appeared that have not possibility of realization to set the direct receiving antenna and built-in Antenna for enhanced reception of the signal of the terrestrial broadcasting. Second, the MMS, if not enhanced the direct reception, was expected that repeated the retransmission through the pay broadcasting as the time of digital transition. Finally, the disaster broadcast was revealed that reduce the effectiveness of the UHD TV policy because of the mutual interference between frequencies and the incomplete solution of shadow area. According to these results, it is expected to be difficult for a while to perform the purpose of public interest in UHD TV.

Local assemblers of agricultural products perform important distribution functions such as providing sales outlets, labor forces, market information, and financing, forward contracting, farming, physical distribution, and etc. However, their business activities are not transparent and producers are not effectively protected from unfair practices done by local assemblers. In order to enhance transparency and to increase effectiveness of governmental policies, local assemblers, which are mostly private management, should be organized as corporations. In order to organize corporations, the government should emphasize the importance of education and should provide corporations with governmental funds for improvement of agricultural distribution. Corporations should be developed to marketing cooperatives in the long run, and are requested to form their federations. It is also necessary to have transparent forward contracting system by local assemblers. In order to have transparent system, producers and local assemblers are guided to use standard contract forms and to operate offices handling unfair trade practices by local assemblers. We also need a place to exchange forward contracts, which can be developed to a futures market in the long run. In summary, local assemblers of agricultural products, which are mostly private management, should be developed to corporations and be operated by a transparent manner in order to protect agricultural producers and increase efficiency of trading.

As the global energy and climate crisis has complicated interests of each country, the agenda that requires a global response has recently been revived. In particular, Korea is highly dependent on energy imports and continues to have high energy consumption, low efficiency of energy consumption, and high greenhouse gas emissions, so innovative and effective energy policies are urgently needed to achieve energy efficiency and carbon neutrality. In this study, among the changes in distributed district energy policy after the integrated energy method was introduced in Korea in the mid-1980's, the case of the "National Heat Map Project" policy implementation is analyzed with a modified multi-flow model. The 10 years of the Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye administrations, the period of study, was a period in which the main paradigm of energy policy shifted to a "distributed energy platform" and policy transitions such as policy agenda setting, policy drift, and policy revision were made. A study on the process would be meaningful.

The main purpose of this paper is to attempt an alternative measurement and analysis of poverty considering income as well as time in order to present an effective antipoverty policy. Based on Korea Welfare Panel Study (2005), the income poverty, time poverty, and double poverty of household in which householders were under 60 years were measured. Moreover this paper found that households experiencing the time poverty might be faced with additional income poverty because of the necessity to purchase care services in the market to compensate for the time. As a result of the analysis, income poverty rate is 9.5%, time poverty rate is 15.7%, and time-adjusted income poverty rate is 10.8%. And low-educated single parents with young children are more likely to experienced income as well as time poverty. Therefore, this paper proved that the 'welfare to work' policy without considering situations in household could be faced with the limit. Furthermore, this paper suggests that social welfare policy should aim at minimizing the tradeoffs among different works and activities, and then support to improve the quality of life.

본(本) 연구(硏究)에서는 우리나라 화물자동차운송산업(貨物自動車運送産業)에 대한 각종 정부규제(政府規制)의 문제점(問題點)과 개선방안(改善方案)을 제시하였다. 주요 개선방안으로서는 사업구성제한(事業區城制限)의 폐지(廢止), 사업공탁금제도(事業供託金制度)의 도입(導入)을 통한 면허제도(免許制度)의 개선(改善), 톤급에 의한 업종구분(業種區分)의 폐지(廢止) 등을 제시하였다. 종합적으로 고찰해 볼 때, 현재의 업계관항(業界慣行)은 이미 높은 경쟁상태에 도달하여 있으며, 정부의 비현실적인 규제가 오히려 건전한 경쟁질서(競爭秩序)의 확립에 장애(障碍)가 되고 있다고 할 수 있다. 따라서, 정부규제(政府規制)가 현실의 시장상황(市場狀況)과 사업자들의 합리적(合理的) 사업욕구(事業欲求)를 따라가지 못하고 있다고 말할 수 있으며, 화물자동차운송산업(貨物自動車運送産業)에 있어서의 정부규제개선(政府規制改善)이란 정부규제(政府規制)의 현실화(現實化)로 표현할 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 지입제(持?制)의 억제(抑制), 직관기업화(直管企業化)의 추진(推進)등의 정책목표(政策目標)의 타당성(妥當性)과 정책수단(政策手段)의 실효성(實效性)에 대한 근본적인 재검토가 필요하다고 하겠다.
