This is the first study of the relation between the controversy on Korean Economics and the controversy on the capitalist social formation of Korea in the 1970-80. The main results of this study is as following: Almost all Korean Economists think 'Korean Economics' do not exist, but korean philosophers think Korean philosophy which is different from western philosophy do exist. So Korean economists tend to believe in the universal validity of western economics. In fact, Some Korean Economists began to argued about universal validity of American-Western economics and making Korean Economics in 1970s, the controversy ceased in the mid of 1980s. Left-wing Economists insisted that the right wing conservetive economics is imported from, mainly, U.S.A, Korea is academic colony of U.S.A. But progressive economics was also imported from Western world, or Soviet Union in the process of controvesy on Korean capitalist social formation in 1980s. It is necessary to retrospect and re-examine the controversy on Korean Economics and on Korean capitalist social formation to develop Economics of Korea.

Nowadays 87 regimes born in the same year with the Korean Association for Political Economy(KAPE in abbreviation) have ended historically. This paper surveys the research trends of KAPE after 2007 for the 30th founding anniversary. This survey is expected to help research way forward of KAPE. The main contents of the surveys are as follows. Global finance crisis caused by subprime mortgage crisis in 2007 expanded to global economic crisis resulting in the crisis of economics. KAPE criticized the mainstream economics with different approach and methodology as well as political economy copying with the crisis of economics and then focused on economics of inequality. However, the progressive economics is depressed under the conservative regime after 2007. As a result, the progressive economics have experienced the crisis of reproduction of knowledge and have become the peripheral science in Korea. With new regimes after 87 regimes, more important than restoration of the progressive economics is rebirth as the progressive economics corresponding to new regime and new era. This is responsibility of KAPE as the single association of the progressive economics in Korea.

This study reviews articles published in the Review of Social & Economics Studies and presented at many research conferences organized by Korean Association for Political Economy(KAPE). The purpose of this review is to retrospect such research activities of KAPE and to make a step forward to relevant research on Korean Economy. Considering current economic depressions and the crisis of academic science in general, the responsibilities of researchers as a economist are heavier than ever. To break through these difficulties, we have to inspire and organize research activities at KAPE level above all things. At the individual level, we should attend objective analysis and propose alternatives to Korean economy in the lights of reform and progress viewpoint.

본 연구에서는 리카도가 자신의 "정치경제학(政治經濟學)과 조세(租稅)의 원리(原理)"(이하에서는"원리(原理)"라고 하겠음) 3판에 새로이 도입한 "기계(機械)"의 내용을 중심으로 기술진보(技術進步)가 고용(雇傭)에 미치는 영향(影響)에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 리카도는 당시 대부분의 주류 경제학자들과 마찬가지로 과학의 발전과 기술진보로 인한 새로운 기계(機械)의 도입은 근로자, 자본가 및 지주를 포함하는 모든 계급(階級)에게 유리한 결과를 가져오리라 생각하였다. 그러다가 그는 "원리(原理)" 3판을 작성하면서 이러한 자신의 견해가 잘못된 것임을 시인하고, 새로운 기계(機械)의 도입이 근로자(勤勞者)에게는 불리한 결과를 가져올 수 있음을 분석적인 방법으로 보여주었다. 그러나 이러한 리카도의 시도는 당시 및 후대의 경제학자들에 의해서도 지적되었듯이 부분적으로 논리적인 오류(誤謬)를 범하였다. 리카도의 논리적 오류를 수정하면서도 그의 문제의지(問題意識)을 부각시키기 위해 본 연구에서는 힉스에 의해 도입된 신(新)오스트리안(Neo-Austrian) 자본개념(資本槪念)과 이에 입각한 기술진보(技術進步)의 형태분류를 리카도의 분석틀에 적용시켰다. 그 결과 일정한 형태의 기술진보하에서는 수익성이 높은 기계(機械)가 도입될지라도 과도기적으로 고용(雇傭) 및 총생산물(總生産物)에 불리한 효과를 나타낼 수 있음을 보여주게 되었다. 그리고 과도기적으로 기계(機械)의 도입에 따른 기술적(技術的) 실업(失業)이 발생할 경우 그 기간에 영향(影響)을 주는 요인(要因)에 대해서도 살펴보고자 했다.

산업화시대 이래로 과학기술의 진보, 물질문명의 발달과 더불어 에너지 소비량도 폭발적으로 증가하여 왔다. 이로 인한 환경문제, 지구온난화 등 범지구적인 차원의 이슈가 발생하였다. 기후변화에 대처하기 위한 에너지 절약은 정책당국자, 학계, 산업계뿐만 아니라 일반시민들에게 있어서도 오랫동안 고민되어온 화두가 되어 오고 있다. 또한, 최근 발생한 일본의 원자력 방사능 유출건도 일본 수도권의 막대한 전기 소비량을 뒷받침하기 위해 건설된 발전소로 인한 2차 피해라는 측면에서 보다 안전하고 환경 친화적 재생적인 에너지에 대한 관심은 더욱 높아갈 수 밖에 없는 실정이다. 그러나 이를 위해 수많은 캠페인들이 행해져 왔음에도 불구하고 에너지 과소비는 여전히 해결되지 않고 있는 난제 중에 하나이다. 이러한 오랜 이슈를 해결하기 위해 기존의 에너지 절감 정책의 틀에서 벗어나 인간의 실질적인 소비행태에 변화를 주려는 대안 모색을 목표로 경제학의 새로운 패러다임인 행동주의 경제학의 프레임워크를 동원하여 효과적인 에너지 절감방안을 사람들의 제한적 합리성에 근거하여 모색하고자 한다. 더불어 이러한 시도는 최신 IT기술과의 융합을 통해 그 효율성을 극대화할 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 행동주의 경제학의 이론적 개념과 실질적인 적용사례를 살펴보고, IT기술의 융합을 시도할 때 고려해야할 사항들에 대해서도 논의를 전개해 나갈 것이다. 이를 통해, 효과적이고 효율적인 에너지 절감정책을 발견하기 위한 정보의 전달방식, 정보의 영향력, 편익측면의 제약사항 등에 대한 다양한 실험적인 연구들을 촉구하고자 한다.

This study analyses the effect of a minimum wage on employment by using the government's progressiveness as an instrumental variable. The Ordinary Least Squares regression (OLS) can result in upward biased employment effect due to the endogeneity among variables. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse the casuality that removed endogeneity between variables by using proper instrumental variables. The analysis using instrumental variable shows that the growth of the increasing rate of the minimum wage reduces employment. The negative effect of employment depending on the increase of minimum wage corresponds with the predictions of Neoclassical Economics.

This study intends to analyze the library classification of agriculture in DDC, from the Int edition to the 21th edition. Since Dewey Decimal Classification(DDC) was the first published in 1876, number of total items increased significantly a newly-organized and subdivision of them in the 8th, 10th and 12th edition. According as the discipline developed and was specialized, the agricultural division in DDC was fractionized, and new subjects were continuously added to it. After that time the first edition, the major changes arranged an class and order in the 15th and 17th edition. That is to say, ‘Farm economics’ in 631.1 was relocated to 338.1 in the 17th and ‘Veterinary sciences’ in 619 was relocated to 636.089 in the 15th. Especially, up to now ‘Farm Economics’ deals with an important branch in the science of agriculture. Here the matter of argue heatedly arranges it from economics to agriculture.

This paper provides a new method of measuring the degree of technological progress which contributes to real economic growth based on Schumpeter's Trilogy. Using Microdata of Statistics Korea, the results of measuring and comparing the actual growth contribution of technological progress during the period 2003-2018 by the total factor productivity growth rate(growth accounting method), the R&D investment contribution rate, and the Schumpeterian innovation growth rate, respectively are as follows. First, the measurement of the real growth contribution of technological progress by the growth rate of total factor productivity and the growth rate of Schumpeterian innovation shows contradictory results. Second, when the growth rate of production is in a decreasing trend, the difference between the growth rate of production and the growth rate of total factor productivity increases compared to when it is in an increasing trend. Conversely, when there is an increasing trend, the difference between the growth rate of production and the growth rate of total factor productivity becomes smaller compared to when it is in a decreasing trend.. Third, the technological opportunity that affects the innovation growth rate, i.e., the contribution of R&D incentives to innovative growth is only 3.3%. The reason why this result is different from the existing perception of the contribution of technological progress to growth is that different entities are being measured while measuring the same term of technological progress. Therefore, the growth rate of total factor productivity should be used to measure macroeconomic efficiency, R&D investment should be used to measure the effectiveness of new technology supply, and the Schumpeterian innovation rate should be used to measure the economic impact of technological progress. The policy implications of the research results of this thesis are as follows: ① Transition from a policy of one-sided technology supply to a policy of convergence of technology supply and new technology demand support, ② Mission-oriented R&D policy and R&D policy that links national R&D with private R&D, ③ Reclassification of capital goods reflecting the degree of new knowledge.
