This study to understand the production cost of cultivation in chestnut tree (Castanea spp.) as a result of a survey conducted of 227 farmers is as follows. In full-time farmer, average cultivation area was 5.5 hectares and average chestnut production was 1.6 tons per hectare. In chestnut sale type, more than 73% of total production was sold by Nong-hyup (7an agricultural cooperative association) and intermediaries, and also proportion of nut size grade was 18% in special-large nut, following 49% in large nut, 25% in middle nut and 8% in small nut. There was considerable difference among cultivated regions in gross income, whereas total average gross income was 2,103 thousand KRW per hectare and 66.4% of it was used in management expenses. Finally the chestnut cultivated farmers have a yearly income of 706 thousands KRW (net income rate 33.6%). As peculiarity of regional production cost, a low tree farm in height and a labor intensive growing helped the improved quality of the chestnut so, on average, 2,161 thousand KRW per hectare of the income of the Chungnam was raised. However caused by an old-age of chestnut trees, there was a little input to management expenses and it resulted in low productivity in the Jeonnam and the Gyeongnam.

The purpose of this study was to identify the differences in medical care utilization by regional economic status using the National Hospital Discharge Patients Injury Survey. In order to determine economic status of each region, 234 cities and counties were categorized 5 quintiles according to their financial self-reliance ratio. The main results are as follows. First, low economic region has high age-standardized admission rate and standardized mortality rate. Second, of 16 major diseases, cerebrovascular and heart diseases, lung cancer, and stomach cancer reported greater changes in standardized mortality rate by regional economic status. Third, the rate of admission via emergency room in low economic region is higher than that of high economic region. Lastly, in the major illnesses, lower economic status led to an increase in average length of stay. Therefore, In order to bridge the gap in health inequality across regions, a regional medical policy tailored for each region and characteristics of the economic status should be established.

이론적으로, 국가경제에 있어서 인구구조(人口構造)의 변화(變化)는 인적자본(人的資本) 형성 및 노동공급(勞動供給), 각 주체들의 소비(消費) 저축행위(貯蓄行爲) 등의 장기적(長期的) 추세(趨勢)를 결정짓는 중요한 요인으로 인식되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 우리나라의 연령별(年齡別) 인구구조 변화가 거시경제변수인 가계소비(家計消費), 금리(金利) 및 경상수지(經常收支)에 미치는 영향에 대하여 이론적(理論的)인 모형(模型) 제시(提示)와 함께 실증분석(實證分析)을 시도하였다. 이론적 모형에서는 인구구조 변화와 이러한 거시경제변수들간의 관계를 평생소득가설(平生所得假說)에 의거하여 설정하였으며, 실증분석 결과는 실제로 인구구조 변화의 거시경제적 효과가 통계적(統計的)으로 유의성(有意性)이 매우 높게 나타나고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 그러나 가계소비와 경상수지의 경우, 장년층인구(壯年層人口)의 상대적(相對的) 증가(增加)는 경제전체의 평균소비성향(平均消費性向)을 낮추고 경상수지(經常收支)를 개선(改善)하는 요인인 것으로 분석되어 평생소득가설에 잘 부합하고 있는 반면, 금리(金利)의 경우에는 장년층인구 증가가 금리를 상승(上昇)시키는 요인으로 나타나고 있어 평생소득가설에 상반(相反)되는 모습을 나타내고 있다.

The Gini index is one of the most commonly used measures of inequality of income distributions. In this paper, the Lorenz curve is estimated by arcs of two optimal circles, and a new simple method to estimate the Gini index is proposed using the law of cosines. We compare the proposed estimator with the estimator proposed by Ogwang and Rao(1996) in terms of the mean squared error(MSE) though Monte Carlo simulation in a Pareto distribution.

This study analyzed an economic efficiency of oak mushroom cultivation in order to provide data needed for formulating related policies. 88 farmhouses in major producing areas were interviewed with. The average production cost per 100 bed-logs was 151,699 won. Among production costs, material costs accounted for 56.0% and labor costs 41.8%. Oak mushroom cultivation was labor-intensive and labor input was a significant factor determining the production costs. There was 3 7.2% gap in production costs between Chungbuk, the highest cost area and Gyeonggi, the lowest cost area of oak mushroom due to difference in labor input. Average revenue per 100 bed-logs was 178,627 won. Average income per 100 bed-logs, which is variable production costs of 116,613 won subtracted from the revenue, was 62,014 won and thus income rate was 34.7%. Income rate in Jeonbuk, the highest area, was higher than that in Gyeonggi, the lowest area, by 15.8% points due to difference in quantities produced, grade, and variable production costs, in particular, labor costs. The result of the economic analysis indicates that reduction in establishment and labor costs, accounting for the highest portion in production costs is priority issue for the enhancement of the competitiveness of the oak mushroom industry.

This paper investigates the role of perceived income hierarchy and political affiliation in individual attitudes toward environmental protection. Estimation results show that rises in perceived income hierarchy increase the possibility of agreement to an increase in taxes to prevent environmental pollution in general, but not linearly increase it. As individuals are more satisfied with the financial situation of their household, they are more likely to agree to an increase in taxes. These results imply that individual attitudes toward environmental protection can be deteriorated even though average household income level increases, if either the degree of financial satisfaction decreases or income inequality worsens. We find that there is no difference between the liberals and the conservatives on the likelihood of paying additional tax to prevent environmental pollution. This result differs from the cases of Western society, which indicate that the liberals are more likely to pay for environmental protection.
