  • We discuss that the proliferation of new types of retailers such as Internet shopping malls. home shopping systems, which use telecommunication media as means of providing information of products. makes delivery service generally available. Then. we show that the delivery service can be used strategically for profit maximization by intentionally homogenizing consumers and. furthermore, social welfare generally increases by this delivery service unless the cost of delivery service is higher than that of all consumer groups.

  • This study considered whether intergenerational ambivalence has implications for elderly's psychological well-being so as to improve relationship between adults children and their parents and the qualities of the elderly lives. Subjects were 346 elderly parents whose ages 60 over. The statistics used for data analysis were reliability, frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, one way ANOVA and multiple regression. The results of this study were as follows; 1)The degrees of elderly's ambivalence of their adult children were 10.07, the data showed lower than median. 2)The elderly's ambivalence level significantly according to spouse, career, religion, relation of the adults children, and ambivalence level were associated with importance of the adults children, education. 3)The variables that affect the elderly's ambivalence level were spouse, importance of the adults children, education, religion, relation of the adults children, career, which explained about 19% of the total variance.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the effect of changes in child care technology on mother-child contact by using all sorts of literature such as diaries, documents or statistical data. Child care technologies began to change during the 1960's. Diverse goods and services such as baby dry milk, paper diapers and child care centers have made child care easier and saved a great deal of time. This has also allowed women to participate in labor markets easily despite rearing children. But maternal contact with children have declined due to new goods and services and this trend is especially prevalent in early childhood. It could be supported that the convenience of rearing rather than the needs of children like as attachment to maternity primarily was considered in technological change. From this results it was suggested that we should develop the alternative child care technologies which better reflect children's needs.

  • This paper is to examine the effect of the receiver pays principle (RPP) on the calling price, social welfare and interconnection charge. A significant trouble with introducing this system in telecommunications pricing is the possibility that the receiving party may refuse to receive a call if the charge he has to bear is very high. We find the condition for no calls to be refused and show that the profit maximizing prices charged to the calling party and the receiving party must satisfy this condition. We demonstrate that the calling price under RPP must be lower than the price under the caller pays principle (CPP), that the profit of a firm will be increased under RPP, but that the consumer surplus will not necessarily be increased under RPP despite the lowered calling price. Also, we show that, if the demand function is linear, the reciprocal interconnection charge under RPP is higher than that under CPP.

  • This essay was written with the purpose of finding an effective outline of reorganizing the theoretical establishments of institutional household management. We have proposed a few alternative models for the reorganization of the theoretical system of institutional household management after analyzing the theoretical systems of Management and Administration: First, institutional household management should embrace the concepts of positive management. Second, we should organize a plan where such factors as organization system, human resource development, advertisement and consumer satisfaction surveys could be introduced and strengthened within the theoretical system of institutional household management.

  • The residential mobility and the housing choice procedures play a significant role on households welfare. This procedure consists of $\circled1$ Moving motives step, $\circled2$ Housing search step, $\circled3$ Assessment of housing alternative step, $\circled4$ Choice and evaluating after choice step, $\circled5$ Intention to move step. There are linkages with each step. The higher the level of moving motives, the higher the level of housing search efforts. The higher the level of housing search efforts, the higher the level of housing alternative evaluating. The higher the level of housing alternative evaluating, the higher the level of housing satisfaction after they choose a house. The higher the level of housing satisfaction after they choose a house, the lower the level of intention to move. So the whole procedure of housing choice among consumers has a main streaming throughout the steps.

  • The purpose of the present study is to build a model to determine the structure of long-term quasi-optimal rates of local and toll telephone services. The outline of this study is as follows : Telephone business, providing social goods, is capital-intensive industry which needs huge fixed cost to operate exchanges and telephone networks nationwide. The nature of above industry justifies the market structure of telephone business to be natural monopoly and makes a good reason for government's direct regulation, that is, price regulation. Three is a gap between the present rates and the quasi-optimal ones because some administrative processes intervene in rate making process before execution. On the above diagnostic basis, the present study made an empirical test for the optimality of present rates structure in connection with Ramsey-Boiteux model to maximize the sum of producer's and consumer's surplus and also the current study proposed a qusasi-optimal rates structure for better market performance. From the empirical analysis, we can deduce a policy recommendation the local price should be increased to 47% whereas toll price decreased to 24% in order to improve the net welfare worth of 32.6 billion won.
