This paper aims at evaluating HSDI diesel passenger cars introduction. The result of economic analysis after accounting for the life cycle cost per car shows a saving of 13,836 thousand won in fuel cost per diesel car assuming a life of 10 years and the annual travel distance of 20,000km. Assuming an average travel distance of 20,000km and a 10% increase in sales of diesel passenger car, the social benefit starts to accrue from the year 2002 and, in 2010, is estimated to be 154.1 billion won relative to the gasoline passenger car. The cumulative social benefit up to 2010 under the same assumptions is expected to reach 636.8 billion won.

The purposes of this study were, 1) to investigate the causal relationship between customer's life-style and motivation of eating-out, and 2) to research the causal nexus between motivation of eating-out and satisfaction of attributes to choose the restaurant. Reliability analysis, factor analysis, and Structure Equation Model(SEM) were adapted by Windows SPSS 10.0 and Amos 4.0. Life-style was divided into 7 factors and eating-out motivation into 5. Life-style influenced significantly each motivation of eating-out. It had positive influence on 'Reception and congratulation', 'Change of dietary life', 'Economic saving', "'Preference motivation', and 'Advertisement and companion's need', but negative influence on 'Reception and congratulation', 'Change of dietary life', and 'Preference motivation'. Customer's motivation of eating-out also influenced significantly the attributes. Factorl 'Reception and congratulation' had positive influence on all attributes except for 'Transportation convenience and distance to the shop'. Factor 2 'Change of dietary life' had negative influence on 'Food's taste, quantity, price', 'Sanitation and cleanness', and 'Staff's service quality' Factor 3 "Economic saving' had positive influence on 'Food's taste, quantity, price' and 'Transportation convenience and distance to the shop'. factors 'Advertisement and companion's need' had positive influence on 'Atmosphere of restaurant' and negative influence on 'Food's taste, quantity, price'.

This paper uses the gravity model estimated by the random effect method to analyze the factors affecting Vietnam's coffee export turnover for the period 2007-2020 major markets according to statistics from the General Statistics Office and the General Department of Customs. Coffee export turnover was collected from the General Statistics Office, General Department of Customs, and Vietnam Cacao Coffee Association. The authors calculated the price of coffee based on output and export value from data on coffee export turnover; the authors calculated the economic gap based on population and Gross Domestic Product data (reference: geographic distance metrics on the website: http://www.distancefromto.net/countries.php) and other data was collected based on the databases of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, and World Bank organizations. The results of the study show that from 2007 to 2020, the factors of Vietnam's export price of coffee, geographical distance, Gross Domestic Product of the importing country and Gross Domestic Product of Vietnam, the population of Vietnam, the economic gap between Vietnam and the importing country, the openness of the economy, all have an impact on Vietnam's coffee export turnover. Finally, some conclusions about the policy's impact are made based on the empirical results of the paper.

Purpose: This study purposes to analyze the determinants of the volume of Indonesian tuna exports. Research design, data and methodology: The framework was developed from the gravity model for trade, which was expanded with additional variables of competitiveness, exchange rate, and industrial share of the destination country. The data sources used in this study are UN Comtrade and the World Bank. The data used is yearly data from 12 countries in 2001-2019. The scope of the study is limited to exports to the twelve main export destinations. Panel data regression analysis is used to determine the factors that affect the volume of Indonesian tuna exports. Results: The results show that according to the theory, Indonesia's GDP has a positive effect and economic distance has a negative effect on the volume of the exports. Meanwhile, the GDPs of the destination countries are not proven to have a positive effect. However, the higher the industrial share in the country, the higher the export volume tends to be. Conclusions: The conclusion obtained from this study is that Indonesia's GDP, economic distance, real exchange rate, industrial GDP share of the destination country, and the RCA index affect the volume of Indonesian tuna exports.

This paper uses the modified gravity model of international trade to examine the impact of ODA on the export of Korea to 28 aid recipients. In this perspective, the study includes recipient's economic size, trade openness, population, donor's scale of aid and distance between them as key determinants of the export of Korea by using panel data over the period of 2005-2012. To do this task, important econometric methods are fulfilled to test the model adequately, such as panel unit root and panel co-integration test. In addition, the study incorporated the panel OLS, panel GLM and panel EGLS methods. The empirical analysis clearly showed that an increase in Korea's ODA promotes its own exports. The coefficients of recipients's per capita GDP, population and trade openness have a positive impact on Korea's export respectively, while distance between them has a negative impact. Regarding regional dummy variables, aid for the region of Africa and America have a negative impact on Korea's export. Overall, the main implication of this study is that even if it emphasized Korea's economic interests as determinants of ODA disbursements, but it also suggests that an improvement of recipient's economic development, income distribution and educational environment can be an important concern in the future.

The objective of the present study was to investigate the behavioral responses of sillkworm (Bombyx mori) larvae to: the dominant effect of walking distace: and the relationships between walking distance and the various economic characters on yellow sheets. The means of walking distances of progeny from F2 and F1 F1 and F2 generations, which was a hybrid between the long and the short walking distances, were shorter than those of parents. This may indicate that the genes for the short walking distances were partially dominant over those for the longwalking. Estimated broad sense heritability of larval walking distance was different for each larval instar, which fell into the range of 52∼84%. Genetic correlation was apparent between walking distances of all larval stages and some economic characters. The number of cocoons per liter and the period from incubation to emergence have shown the positive genetic correlation with walking distances. The cocoon yield, the sing cocoon weight, and the cocoon shell weight have shown to be in the negative correlation with walking distances. No correlation was observed between walking distances of the mature larvae and any economic characters. The analysis by the path coefficient showed negative direct effect of walking distances on the cocoon yield, and positive indirect effect on the single cocoon weight and the cocoon shell weight.

In this study, a model to calculate the expected total construction cost is developed that simultaneously considers the rehabilitation cost related to the sliding of the caisson, the economic damage cost due to harbor shutdown in the event of excessive caisson sliding, and the economic damage cost due to temporal operational stoppage by excessive wave overtopping. A discount rate is used to convert the damage costs occurred at different times to the present value. The optimal cross-section of a caisson is defined as the cross-section that requires a minimum expected total construction cost within the allowable limit for the expected sliding distance of the caisson during the lifetime of the breakwater. Two values are used for the allowable limit: 0.3 and 0.1 m. It was found that the economic damage cost due to harbor shutdown by excessive caisson sliding is more critical than the rehabilitation cost of the caisson or the economic damage cost by excessive wave overtopping in the decision of the optimal cross-section. In addition, the optimal cross-section of the caisson was shown to be determined by the allowable limit for the expected sliding distance rather than the minimum expected total construction cost as a larger value is used for the threshold sliding distance of the caisson for harbor shutdown.

This study analyzes the network structure of the Metropolitan Seoul subway system by applying complex network analysis methods. For the purpose, we construct the Metropolitan Seoul subway system as a network graph, and then calculate various indices introduced in complex network analysis. Structural characteristics of Metropolitan Seoul subway network are discussed by these indices. In particular, this study determines the shortest paths between nodes based on the weighted distance (physical and time distance) as well as topological network distance, since urban travel movements are more sensitive for them. We introduce an accessibility measurement based on the shortest distance both in terms of physical distance and network distance, and then compare the spatial structure between two. Accessibility levels of the system have been getting up overall, and thus the accessibility gaps have been getting lessen between center located subway stops and remote ones during the last 10 years. Passenger traffic volumes are explored from real passenger transaction databases by utilizing data mining techniques, and mapped by GIS. Clear differences reveal between the spatial patterns of real passenger flows and accessibility. That is, passenger flows of the Metropolitan Seoul subway system are related with population distribution and land use around subway stops as well as the accessibility supported by the subway network.

The minimum safe separation distances from LPG filling station was discussed in this work based on the accident data from 1987 to 1998 in south korea, the initial damage of accident, and standards of countries. The safety distances are adequate to reduce ignition probability by released gas and provide space for implementation of emergency response after ignition. Therefore, the distances are related to the distance to LFL(Lower Flammable Limit) and the length of jet fire to prevent accident escalation. The range of the distance was suggested in this work to make standard with considering economic, culture, and safe guards.
