Using the most recent dataset of Korea and U.S. household finance, this study analyzed demand and adequacy of private pensions for pre-retirees. For this purpose, 2013 Korean Retirement and Income Study (KReIS) of national pension research institute in Korea and 2013 SCF (Survey of Consumer Finances) of FRB in U.S. were used. For comprehensive comparisons of the two countries, this study classified the private pension into sub-categories such as personal pension, corporate pension, and retirement benefits, and used three different criteria including ownership, accumulated present value of each pension, and income replacement ratio of each pension. After controlling for other factors, educational level of householder and household income were critical determinants of size and adequacy of private pension in both countries. Different from Korean households, householders' gender, marital status, and health status had an important effect on the private pension size and adequacy in the U.S. In addition, home ownership significantly increased only private pension adequacy in Korea, and also increased ownership rate, size, and adequacy of private pension in the U.S. Results of this study provide useful implications for future pension system and policy in Korea.

This study was investigated about preparation of ice at home and developing points which met consumer's demand that was focused on auto icemaker. According to purposive quota sampling method, residences in Seoul and Kyunggi-do area were selected and interviewed by trained interviewer at August 1995. The results were as follows: 66.3% of respondent usually prepared ice in ice-making container of refrigerator and used when they needed. 85% of them used ice in summer and seldomly used in other seasons. Boiling water with barley was major drinking water(45.6%), and broiled or purified tap water was used to make ice(38.6%) commonly. Numbers of ice-making container were two(66.0%). Above 50% of respondents replied that they felt off-flavor in ice usually. After felt off-flavor, 54.7% of respondent threw away the ice, some of them used off-flavored ice after treatment to washing with water. 64.9% of respondents thought that the origins of off-flavor was the flavor of refrigerator itself. The consumer's expectation of developing points were as follows. The most priority of developing points was to make ice quickly, the next was to develop auto ice maker and ice storage container, to make different size of ice. Less expected points were to make more clear ice and large volume of ice in one time. The recognition about auto ice maker was slightly low(35% of respondents), but 67% of them wanted to develop auto ice maker.

The market-based fisheries resources management system was reviewed and the improvement scheme was studied for seeking the sustainability of marine ecosystems and their fisheries resources. A demand-side policy is currently emerging to the management of fisheries resources by reducing over-exploitation, based on the consumer's selection. The role of consumers in the sustainable fishery was studied by comparing the social responsibility and consumer's activity between Korea and foreign countries and international NGO groups, based on the FAO guideline. The adoption of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)'s eco-labelling certificate was suggested by expanding the existing environment-friendly certification system in Korea. This new system will contribute to the protection of young immature fish and spawners in coastal and offshore fisheries as well as to the international trade of seafood in terms of fish products from well-managed fisheries. It is noted that the consumer's activities in the markets as regulators will contribute to the ecosystem health and sustainability.

본 연구에서는 미국의 소비자 지출(1984-2002) 자료를 이용하여 교통과 통신간의 상호연관성을 분석하였다. 먼저 소비자 지출 전체 항목 중 교통 및 통신 관련 항목을 12가지로 분류하였으며, 데이터의 수가 적어 이 세부항목을 다시 5개의 대 항목(대중교통, 차량구입, 차량운영, 전자통신매체 인쇄통신매체)으로 그룹화한 후 Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System(LA/AIDS) 기법을 이용하여 소비자 수요 모형을 개발하였다. 또한 평균 소비자 지출 분담율을 기준으로 교통과 통신의 소득 및 가격 탄력성을 산출하였다. 모형추정결과, 교통과 통신의 상호관계는 항목별로 대체(예, 대중교통 이용과 전자통신미디어 이용) 및 보완(예, 개인차량 구입과 전자통신미디어 이용)관계가 있는 것으로 규명되었다. 그리고 교통관련 항목의 소비자 지출이 통신관련 항목의 지출보다 소득면에서 보다 탄력적인 것으로 나타났다.

Estimating the effects of price increase on a company's sales is important task faced by managers. If consumer has prior information on price increase or expect it, there would be stockpiling and subsequent drops in sales. In addition, consumer can suppress demand in the short run. Above factors make the sales dynamic and unstable. We develop a time series model to evaluate the sales patterns with stockpiling and short term suppression of demand and also propose a forecasting procedure. For estimation, we use panel data and extend the model to Bayesian hierarchical structure. By borrowing strength across cross-sectional units, this estimation scheme gives more robust and reasonable result than one from the individual estimation. Furthermore, the proposed scheme yields improved predictive power in the forecasting of hold-out sample periods.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the recent consumption patterns and consumer's perception changes in the Korean beef market and thus to analyze whether there was any structural changes in beef consumption patterns in Korea. This current survey was conducted to examine consumer attitudes toward factors determining beef purchasing and improving distribution system. First, it is vital to cut beef production costs and expand high-quality beef in order to compete with imported beef. Second, it is also important to endeavor to enhance th safety of beef. Also consumers demand more information on the quality of beef. Third, promotion activities are very important to maintain Hanwoo beef market power. Forth, it is important to prevent imported beef from being sold as Hanwoo beef at retailers. Finally, we should pay more attention to maintain beef consumption data.

최근 들어 한국산 곶감 수출활성화와 해외 판매량 증대를 위하여 해외 시장에서의 소비자 수요를 측정하고 분석할 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 특히 제품의 원산지와 연관된 소비자의 자민족중심주의는 해외 시장에서의 소비자 수요를 설명하는데 있어서 중요한 요인들 중 하나가 되고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 자민족중심주의를 기반으로 하여 곶감에 대한 대만소비자의 선호도와 소비행태를 분석하는 것이었다. 분석결과에 따르면, 수입곶감에 대한 소비자 인식은 소비자 자민족중심주의의 수준에 따른 차이가 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 한국산 곶감에 대한 인식과 선호도는 자민족중심주의의 수준에 따라 만족도, 맛, 색깔, 안전, 포장, 경도 측면에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 로짓분석 결과 대만소비자의 한국산 곶감에 대한 선호도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 한국산 곶감에 대한 만족도로 나타났고, 한국산 곶감의 구매 경험에는 연령이 가장 영향력이 큰 요인으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 앞으로 대만 시장에서 판로 확보와 수익창출을 위해서는 세분화된 시장을 목표로 하여 마케팅 전략을 점진적으로 추진함으로써 한국산 곶감에 대한 소비자 인지도를 높일 필요가 있을 것이다.

On the basis of the concept retained in nutition label(NL) the consumer's perception use and demand on NL nutrition knowledge(NH) purchase of nutrient controlled food and dietary modification for health were examined. The subjects were 1203 house wives mainly in the age of 30-40 and self administered questionnaire was employed. The results were as follows. Subjects' demand on nutrition information was greater while the availablity and usefulness of NL was unsatisfactory. The purchase frequencies of nutrient controlled foods were higher compared to NL reading. The use comprehenison reliability of nutrition information were better in high NK group compared to low NK group except the reliability on health claims. The required nutrients for content information were in the order of calorie Ca cholesterol Fe protein and total fat. The demand for nutrient content information was carrelated with intention of subjects' dietary modification but not the use of NL. These results indicate that NL be a good source of nutrition information and the consumers' demand for NL was based on their dietary purpose though the use of NL was unconfirmed.

This paper describes the portal system architecture of large consumers for ESP(Energy Service Provider) to provide customers with various value added services such as monitoring and controlling a wide variety of electric devices in consumer's premises for optimal energy management from both consumer side and ESP side, and the prototype implementation of 2 kinds of value added services. The architecture is composed of the device portal which gathers the information from electric devices and controls them and the consumer portal which can make ESP operate the optimal energy management with two-way communications. The demand side management and energy management functions was chosen and implemented for the prototype system as value added services. The prototype was designed to create, manage, and trace the events about services between ESP and customers.
