The marginal implicit price of air quality can be measured by taking a partial derivative of hedonic price function (HPF) with respect to the level of air quality. It has been pointed out that the size of the marginal implicit price varies with the use of different function forms, different estimation methods, and the different ways of measuring air quality level in estimating HPF. In addition to these factors, this study shows theoretically and empirically the way housing properties are represented on a digital map could differentiate the size of marginal implicit price of air quality when GIS is used to measure location attributes of the housing properties in the Korean apartment market. Furthermore, this study shows that the degree of difference in the marginal implicit price due to the manner in which housing properties are represented on a digital map can be larger than the degree of difference in the marginal implicit price due to using different function forms and estimation methods. The major implication from the results of this study is that one should carefully try diverse ways of representing housing properties in the Korean apartment market on a digital map in the process of estimating HPF, as he or she usually tries diverse function forms and estimation methods, to see if the value of the marginal implicit price of air quality varies substantially.

This paper presents a new harmonics reduction methodology using shadow price. First, we employed shadow price of each bus to reduce harmonics effectively. Second, we developed a new algorithm which can reduce harmonics under limits at PCC and each bus. As a result economical design of filters and its location of the distribution system is possible. This method is applied to the real system, and the usefulness of the method is verified.

In the developed countries, traffic noise is one of most serious problems faced by people's lives. So the importance of the traffic noise is quite well recognized by the infrastructure planners as well as the people. The traffic noise is valued in monetary terms in some countries and it is reflected in estimating the net present value or benefit/cost ratio. On the contrary, the effects of traffic noise are not reflected in the assessment of infrastructure in most cases in Korea. However, as the income level has been increasing, more people have been becoming to put more importance on their living conditions. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the value of traffic noise in the Seoul metropolitan area. The housing price were surveyed to use the quasi-hedonic price technique. By this way, two housing prices at the same floor level in different 128 complexes in the Seoul metropolitan area were surveyed. the actual traffic noise level was also measured. The differences of housing prices and noise levels were analyzed using the various types of regression models. The value is quite different by size of house. The value of large house is higher than that of small house. Since the income level of people in large house is higher than that in small house. it might be said that value of traffic noise for high income people is higher than that for low income people. Moreover, the increase of 1dB(A) noise affects the house price by about 0.3% in Seoul metropolitan area.

본 논문은 쓰레기종량제 하에서 가격유인책 및 다른 사회 경제적 변수가 가정의 쓰레기발생과 재활용품배출에 미치는 효과를 분석하고 있다. 개별 가정설문자료를 이용하여 가정의 쓰레기발생과 재활용품배출에 대한 구조적 방정식을 3단계 최소자승법으로 추정하였다. 추정결과 가계소득과 가족 수는 쓰레기발생량에 정의 관계로 영향을 미치며, 재활용품배출량은 가정주부의 시간가치와는 역의 관계를 가지고 교육수준과는 정의 관계를 보이고 있다. 쓰레기봉투가격의 인상은 쓰레기발생량에는 영향을 주지 않고 재활용품배출량의 증가를 통해 쓰레기수거서비스에 대한 수요를 감소시키는 것으로 나타난다. 가정에서 분리수거를 통해 재활용할 수 있는 잠재적 재활용가능량은 정부의 재활용품목의 지정 및 재활용기술에 의해 제한되기 때문에 쓰레기가격의 대폭적 인상을 통해 쓰레기수거서비스의 감소를 유도하는 것은 한계가 있는 것으로 보인다.

In this paper, we simulate the contribution of an increasing renewable energy to demands for fossil fuels and power supply price by estimating a cost function for the Korean electric power generation sector. Since the renewable energy is a composite input, it is not feasible to compute the price index for renewable energy due to data limit. We estimate a restricted cost function, which is derived by minimizing the costs of fossil fuels conditional on the quantity of renewable energy set to its optimal level, jointly with supply relation. In particular, derivation of the shadow price of renewable energy would make it possible to analyze potential costs incurred by power plants.

Noise externalities are a ubiquitous problem in modern societies. Research to estimate damages and potential efficient solutions therefore is important for addressing such problems. The results of a hedonic property model show that noise has a statistically significant and quantitatively important negative effect on property values. The key results for the best model show that damages (in year 2000 dollars) are - $5000 ${\ast}$ (ln dB), where dB is noise measured in decibels, allowing for the influence of other factors. Because ln(dB) is a strictly concave funaion, the "noise damage function"exhibits diminishing marginal effects with noise.

The purpose of this paper is to compare technical efficiencies and productivities without and with environmental constraints, and shadow prices of $SO_x$ in Korean and Chinese industries. The technical efficiencies without and with environment in Chinese manufacturing industries are higher than those in Korean manufacturing industries for 2000-2004. Most of individual Chinese manufacturing dominate those of Korean manufacturing in levels of technical efficiency. In terms of productivity changes excluding environmental constraints, the rates of annual growth in Korean and Chinese industries show 1.13 percent and 2.73 percent respectively. But Korean industry in productivity changes considering $SO_x$ reduction shows 2.41 percent, higher rate of growth than 1.58 percent of Chinese industry. In the shadow prices of $SO_x$, the reduction of an additional unit of $SO_x$ in the Korean manufacturing needs a decrease of 1.473 unit of output, while the shadow price of $SO_x$ in Chinese manufacturing is 0.0049, close to zero. Korean manufacturing should be specialized in higher sectors of technical efficiency and productivity and be also kept efficient in pollution abatement cost.

To assess the feasibility of 'low carbon, sustainable growth' policy pursued of the Chinese government, this paper first measures technical efficiency, $CO_2$ shadow prices, and indirect Morishima elasticity of substitution between capital and energy for 24 of manufacturing sectors in Beijing and Chongqing, in which China launched pilot carbon emissions trading scheme, by estimating the input distance function. Based on these results, then the potential for $CO_2$ reduction, cost savings from emissions trading, and the effectiveness of capital investment in reducing $CO_2$ are compared across industries and provinces. In 2010, manufacturing industries in Beijing and Chongqing could potentially reduce the largest $CO_2$ emissions, amounting 5.2 and 17 million tons, respectively, by achieving 100% technical efficiency. While, on average, Chongqing has a comparative advantage in the cost savings from carbon trading over Beijing, Beijing is more likely to reduce $CO_2$ by expanding capital investment.

Using the Hedonic pricing model using Box-Cox transformation, this paper estimated the marginal effect (implicit price) of odors from landfill in the metropolitan area on housing prices and the willingness to pay for changes in certain odor conditions. This paper utilized the proximity from the landfill in the metropolitan area as a environmental variable, and analyzed the effect of various housing characteristic variables on the sale price of apartments within a radius of 5 km from the landfill. In particular, because odors factor have various heterogeneity, we applied hedonic price models instead of stated-preference methods with various types of functional forms through Box-Cox transformation, considering the heterogeneity of each region. Estimates show that the marginal value (implicit price) for the distance from the odor source was 0.227 to 0.533 depending on the function type of the estimated model. In addition, when other house factors are the same, the marginal willingness to pay for a distance of 1km from the odor source was calculated to be 16.79 to 51.76 thousand dollar depending on the type of function. Finally for the general Box-Cox model, the annual WTP was estimated to be 3,229dollar.

본 연구는 마케팅 분야에서 주로 사용되는 신제품확산모델(new product diffusion model)들이 기본적인 배스 모형(Bass model)에 기반하여 개별 소비자의 이질성(heterogeneity)을 반영하지 못하고, 제품이 시장에 출시되기 이전 단계에 시장수요를 예측하지 못하는 한계를 극복하기 위한 방법론을 제시하기 위해 진행되었다. 연구에 사용된 방법론을 살펴보면, 먼저 컨조인트(Conjoint) 분석을 통해 제품의 개별 속성들에 대한 소비자의 선호 구조를 파악하고, 이를 통해 추정된 정적(static)인 소비자 효용함수를 시장 및 기술 환경의 변화에 대한 적절한 예측자료와 결합하여 동적(dynamic)인 효용함수로 전환함으로써 시간에 따른 동적(dynamic) 시장 점유율(market share)을 예측하고, 그 결과를 신제품확산모델로부터 도출된 잠재시장(market potential) 추정치와 결합함으로써 신제품의 판매량을 예측한다. 또한 본 연구에서 제시하는 모델을 한국의 30인치 이상 대형TV 시장에 대해 실증적으로 분석하였으며, CRT TV, Projection TV, LCD TV, PDP TV에 대한 시장수요를 예측하였다. 분석 결과, 소비자들은 TV 선택시 화질과 가격에 민감한 반응을 보이는 것을 알 수 있으며, 이를 바탕으로 한 시장 예측 결과, 단기적으로는 가격 경쟁력이 있는 Projection TV가 높은 시장 점유율을 보이지만, 50인치 이상 LCD TV가 상용화될 경우, LCD TV가 다른 TV들보다 상대적으로 많은 판매량을 보일 것으로 예측되었다. 또한 TV 크기에 따른 소비자들의 선택을 살펴본 결과 50∼60인치대에 비해 40인치대 크기의 TV가 많이 판매될 것으로 예상된다.
