Scientific and technological performances (e.g., patents and publications) made through R&D play a pivotal role for national economic growth. National governments encourage academia-industry cooperation and thereby pursue continuous development of science technology and innovation. Increasing R&D-related investments and manpower are crucial for national industrial development, but evidence of poor performance in business performance, efficiency, and effectiveness has recently been found in Korea. This study evaluates performance efficiency of the 6T sector (Information Technology, Bio Technology, Nano Technology, Space Technology, Environment Technology, Culture Technology), which is considered a high-potential promising industry for the next generation growth and currently occupies two thirds of the national R&D projects. The study measures the relative efficiency of R&D in a comparative perspective by employing the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. The result reveals overall low efficiency in basic R&D (0.2112), applied R&D (0.2083), development R&D (0.2638), and others (0.0641), confirming that economic performance and efficiency were relatively poor compared to production efficiency. Efficient R&D needs policy makers to create strategies that can increase overall efficiency by improving productivity performance and quality while increasing economic performance.

This study analyzes the economic efficiency of the virtual power plant (VPP) model that aims to integrate a number of emergency generators installed at the consumer end and operate them as a single power plant. Several factors such as the demand response benefits from VPP operation and costs incurred for converting emergency generators into VPP are considered to assess the economic efficiency of the proposed VPP model. Scenarios for yearly VPP conversion are prepared based on the installed capacities of the emergency generators distributed in South Korea, while the costs and benefits are calculated from the viewpoints of participants and power companies in accordance with California Test Methods. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis is conducted on the cost factors among those affecting the economic efficiency of VPP business because these two factors have a great impact on benefits.

Objectives: There is no systematic review on economic evaluations of telemedicine in Japan, despite over 1000 trials implemented. Our systematic review aims to examine whether Japan's telemedicine is cost-saving or cost-effective, examine the methodological rigorousness of the economic evaluations, and discuss future studies needed to improve telemedicine's financial sustainability. Methods: We searched five databases, including two Japanese databases, to find peer-reviewed articles published between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2014 in English and Japanese that performed economic evaluations of Japan's telemedicine programs. The methodological rigorousness of the economic analyses was assessed with a well-established checklist. We calculated the benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR) when a reviewed study reported related data but did not report the BCR. All cost values were adjusted to 2014 US dollars. Results: Among the 17 articles identified, six studies reported on settings connecting physicians for specialist consultations, and eleven studies on settings connecting healthcare providers and patients at home. There are three cost-benefit analyses and three cost-minimization analyses. The remaining studies measured the benefit of telemedicine only, using medical expenditure saved or users' willingness-to-pay. There was substantial diversity in the methodological rigorousness. Studies on teledermatology and teleradiology indicated a favorable level of economic efficiency. Studies on telehomecare gave mixed results. One cost-benefit analysis on telehomecare indicated a low economic efficiency, partly due to public subsidy rules, e.g., a too short budget period. Conclusions: Overall, telemedicine programs in Japan were indicated to have a favorable level of economic efficiency. However, the scarcity of the economic literature indicates the need for further rigorous economic evaluation studies.

PAV is considered to improve quality of life and standards of living, improvement of which was caused by automobile hundred years ago. Comparative economic efficiency of PAVs is measured to compare each PAV. Specification and sales price of the PAVs are open to the public. BlackFly, Transition and Aeromobil 3.0 have competitive power in flying range, purchasing cost, and operational cost. Lift & cruise configuration and vectored thrust configuration PAVs are designed by many companies nowadays, and BlackFly which can be considered to be lift & cruise configuration is one of the most efficient PAVs. High battery price does not help multi-copter shaped PAVs to have economic efficiency. Aerodynamic wing, eVTOL, and low sale price are needed for PAVs to ride a wave of public interest as a new personal mobility. Under the conditions, the PAV can fly at downtown and can be purchased by people at large. Popularization of PAV could follow in the 100 years old footsteps of automobile.

아세안(ASEAN) 국가 총 컨테이너 처리량은 경제발전에 따라 계속해서 증가할 것으로 전망된다. 하지만, 증가하는 물동량 대비 아세안(ASEAN) 국가 대부분의 항만인프라는 아직 미비한 수준이다. 세계은행 보고서에 따르면 싱가포르와 말레이시아를 제외한 항만들은 항만인프라 순위에서 낮은 순위를 기록하고 있다. 아세안(ASEAN) 항만개발사업 참여는 아세안(ASEAN) 국가의 항만인프라를 개선하여 물류효율성을 증가시켜 우리나라와의 무역 활성화로 이어질 수 있다. 또한 우리나라 정부와 기업이 항만개발사업에 진출하여 우리나라 항만 관련 산업을 활성화시킬 수 있다. 항만효율성 측정은 이러한 항만개발 및 계획수립에 기초자료로 활용하기에 본 연구에서는 아세안(ASEAN) 항만 효율성 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 여러 모형 중 가장 효율적인 DEA모형을 알 수 없다는 한계점을 극복하고자, DEA와 Shannon's Entropy를 결합한 모형을 활용하여 아세안(ASEAN) 항만의 효율성을 측정하였다. CCR, 투입기준 BCC, 산출기준 BCC, SBM 모형 등 네 개의 모형의 가중치를 구한 뒤에 가중치를 고려하여 항만별 효율성을 측정하였다. 결과적으로 세계 주요 항만인 싱가포르, 말레이시아 항만의 효율성이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 물동량 증가율이 가장 높은 베트남의 항만효율성은 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 나타나, 항만개발이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 태국의 림차방(Leam Chabang), 베트남의 호치민(Ho Chi Minh City), 인도네시아 탄중 프리옥(Tanjung Priok)항만은 물동량 처리실적과 효율성이 역의 관계로 나타나 경쟁력 유지를 위해서는 효율성 개선이 필요 한 것으로 보인다. 캄보디아, 미얀마, 브루나이 등 아직 경제발전이 미숙한 항만은 경제발전을 위해서라도 인프라 확장을 위주로 하는 항만개발이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.
