It is well known that FTA increases consumer welfare. However, it is difficult to analyze consumer welfare effects of FTA for item by item because of the difficulty in data collection. In this respect, this study aims at analyzing the types of increasing consumer welfares with item by item. According to the result of the study, there are five types of consumer welfare increased by FTA, and the items are like below: banana, kiwi, octopus, wine, and etc. However, it is hard for consumer to feel effects of FTA directly for several reasons. The problem of distribution structure of imported goods and, tariff reductions over long period are parts of the reasons to reduce the consumer wealfare effects. And the lack of consumer awareness about imported goods also reduces them. In order to promote FTA more efficiently, this study suggests that the government must improve the problems mentioned because consumer consent is essential element for further FTA promotion.

FTA 체결국 제품의 관세인하로 수입증가 효과가 발생하며, 또한 관세가 인하됨으로써 국내소비자 가격이 하락함으로써 소비자의 후생이 증대하고 있다. 그러나 소비자에게 관세인하분 만큼의 후생이 소비자에게 전환되어야 함에도 불구하고 가격변동이 없으며, 오리려 가격이 상승하고 있는 현상이 발생하고 있다. 본 연구는 인구통계학적 툭성인 성별, 연령별, 직업별로 FTA 체결 국가의 제품구매와 FTA 체결국 제품의 구매이유를 분석한 후, 이들 항목을 중심으로 소비자후생을 분석하여 통상정책적 측면에서 시사점을 제공하고자 한다. 연구에서 나타난 바와 같이 FTA 체결국가에 제품의 후생수준을 분석한 결과 대체적으로 보통이다는 결론을 많이 나타났으며, 성별, 연령별, 직업별로 분석한 결과 약간의 차이는 있지만 전반적으로 동일한 후생수준을 나타나고 있다는 것을 알 수 있다.

The major concern of this paper is to investigate the properties of a stochastic equilibrium for each model system in terms of a consumer welfare measure. The primary assumption for this study is that a trip-maker would choose the trip from his origin zone which maximizes his personal welfare. This assumption, finally, leads to a singly constrained gravity model. The consumer welfare measure is derived from the concept of expected welfare of randomly sampled trip-makers. Each of the four different models considered in this paper is differentiated depending on the complexity of its model or the definition of its travel function. In this study, three different regions are chosen for the purpose of taking into account the effects of different zone-systems on the properties of a stochastic equilibrium : (i) Archerville region (5 zone) ; (ii) San Francisco Bay regions (30 zones) ; (iii) Houston, TX region (199 zones). It is concluded that almost identical, "global" consumer welfare values can be obtained in some cases of the gravity-type trip distribution models based on a stochastic equilibrium.

The purposes of this study were to find the sub-factors of consumer consciousness toward well-being and to identify the variables influencing their well-being oriented consumer behaviors in the area of dietary life of married women. 579 married women were surveyed by internet portal site azoomma.com. The collected data were treated with the SPSS Windows 12.0 program and analyzed in terms of frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, oneway ANOVA, factor analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The findings were summarized as follow: 1. Consumer consciousness toward well-being has four sub-factors; pro-environmental attitude, personal and family health, means of business, and consciousness regarding others. 2. In the multiple regression analysis, concerns of information, price level, consciousness of personal and family health, health status, educational level explained the purchasing behavior about 25.7%. On the other hand, health status, pro-environmental attitude, consciousness of personal and family health, consciousness regarding others, and concerns of information explanined the using behaviors about 17.0%. Pro-environmental attitude, health status, consciousness of personal and family health, consciousness regarding others, and status of employment were effective variables, and explained the disposal behavior about 19.5%.

This study was performed to make suggestions for improving consumer welfare in public utility pricing. The consumer related issues in the process of public utility pricing and the consumers' burden on expenditures for public utility were reviewed. Due to the large proportions of the expenditures for public utility to total consumption expenditures, the poor and the younger consumers had more disadvantages in rising consumer price on public utility than the rich and the older. Finally, four kinds of alternatives were suggested to solve the consumer problems in public utility pricing.

본 논문은 이동통신시장에서 상호접속료가 소비자 후생에 미치는 영향을 실증분석을 통해 시사점을 도출하였다. 현재 상호접속료 정책은 사업자 전체를 규제하는 개별요율제와 함께 TD BUah형을 혼합한 장기증분원가 체계로 운영되고 있기 때문에 이와 같은 산정모형과 정책적 요인이 소비자후생에 미치는 영향을 분석하거 위하여 log선형함수를 이용한 소비자 후생의 측정과, 정책변수를 더미화 한 소비자 후생 결정 모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 소비자 후생은 2009년 기준으로 약 6조원으로 나타났으며, 최근 기준으로 상승세를 보이고 있었다. 상호접속료의 하락은 소비자 후생을 증진시키는 것으로 나타났지만, 개별요율제와 현재의 장기증분원가 체계는 소비자 후생과 부(-)의 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타나, 정책 프레임의 수정이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Observation of the effects of a handset subsidy on the mobile telecommunication industry has revealed two different aspects. The activation of various mobile services and the handset market, has led to the rapid acceleration of the related technological development, which is a desirable result, while rising prices and the overspending of related resources are undesirable. A great deal of research has been conducted to assess both desirable and undesirable factors using qualitative methods. However, quantitative studies into the effects of a handset subsidy are rare. In this study, we consider the positive and negative effects on consumer welfare of a change in demand and prices brought about by a handset subsidy. Then, we quantitatively compare the positive and negative effects and analyze their direct effects on consumer welfare.

Asymmetric regulation as applied to mobile termination rates refers to regulatory arrangements in which different mobile operators charge different termination rates, even though the services provided are essentially identical. The asymmetric regulation has been frequently used as a regulatory tool to support new entrants to a mobile market. This paper examines the economic effects of asymmetric regulation of mobile termination rates using a theoretical model and its simulation. The result shows that when there is no noticeable difference in brand loyalty between mobile operators with the high degree of substitutability between services provided by mobile operators, and the costs of new entrants are low, a reduction in the asymmetry of mobile access prices results in an enhancement of consumer welfare. These findings provide positive evidence for the argument that in certain situations asymmetric pricing of mobile access services may be counterproductive for consumer welfare.

The purpose of this study is to examine the consumer competency of women in their 20-40s after consumer competency is classified into consumer knowledge, consumer attitude and consumer skill. Since these components can show differences based on the areas of consumption life, the areas of consumer competency are classified into financial management areas, trading areas and consumer citizenship areas. The differences in consumer competency based on marital status and the differences in variables affecting consumer competency by marital status are identified. The types of consumers are classified and characterized based on consumer competency and marital status. This sentence can immediately follow the previous one rather than start a new paragraph. The same goes for the other sentences below. First, the female consumer competency levels of the married group were generally higher than those of the single group. Second, consumer knowledge and consumer competency in financial management areas showed significant interaction effects between the marital status and employment status of demographic variables. Third, there were differences in factors affecting significant differences in consumer knowledge, consumer attitude, consumer skill and over all consumer competencies between the unmarried and married groups.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether the intergenerational program affected the children's perceptions on the elderly and aging. This study also investigated how the children evaluated the program. The study methods was one group pretest-posttest design. The subjects were 30 elementary school children from 1st to 3rd grade. The intergenerational program was composed of 6 activities: recreation activity for rapport, making a kite, gardening, learning old customs, education of traditional manner, and making rice-cakes. It was executed for two weeks. Data for children's perceptions on the elderly and aging were collected by the interview using questionnaire at pretest-posttest. The results of the qualitative data analysis showed that the children's perception on the elderly and aging changed more positively after the program. There were significant differences between pre- and post-test on the children's perceptions of aging and intellectual aspects of the elderly. Most of the children evaluated the program very positively.
