We consider an economic approach for spectrum operations in mobile networks. We present the investment function of base stations according to the number of FAs assuming the linearity of cell splitting. We show that there is an economic amount of spectrum which corresponds to the optimal number of FAs that minimizes the investment. We analyze the impact of the cost structure and the traffic distribution in base stations on the economic amount of spectrum. This paper is applicable to an economic spectrum operation for mobile operators. In addition, the national regulatory authority can use the economic amount of spectrum as the minimal amount for spectrum allocation.

There is a considerable gap in the level of the Internet access charges among countries because of the history of the Internet use, current status of the Internet infrastructure, the Internet penetration rate, and so on. Low Internet access charge increases the number of the Internet users and the Internet penetration rate, which boosts economic activities. This paper empirically explores the impacts of the internet access charges on economic activities using a cross-country analysis based on data from 76 countries for the year 1998-2001. To this end, several versions of the neoclassical growth models, explicitly including the internet access charges, are estimated with the GDP used for a proxy for economic activities and the level of Internet access charges considered as an input to production. Subject to the appropriate caveats, the results show that the level of the Internet access charges make a significantly negative effect on economic activities. In other words, it is concluded that low Internet access charges of a county increase economic activities and the increased economic activities in turn raise the real income of the county.

This study aims to determine the response of regional economic growth to the financial performance of regional economies in regard to the liquidity conditions, saving-investment gaps, trade openness, inflation, as well as the national economic growth. The basic logic theory of research uses the principles of open economics and financial intermediary systems. The data used in this study are secondary data, and the form of data is a quarterly time series for the period from 2008 to 2019. The data were obtained from various publications, such as the Central Statistics Agency (CSA), Regional Financial Economics Statistics (RFES), Indonesian Banking Statistics (IBS), and the Financial Services Authority (FSA). Data processing was done through VAR/VECM analysis; short-term and long-term equilibrium analyses were carried out. The results of the analysis illustrate that regional economic growth and the conditions of liquidity, saving-investment gaps, trade openness, inflation, and national economic growth are related and lead to significant impact variations in the provinces of Papua and West Papua. In conclusion, the findings of this research support the leading supply hypothesis and reformulate the strategy and policy of economic development, bearing in mind that there are still many underdeveloped districts in these two provinces.

Due to fossil fuel depletion and environmental pollution, H2 production from organic waste has received an increased attention. In this study, we present an integrated process for the H2 production from biogas and evaluate the economic feasibility and sustainability via rigorous techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life-cycle assessment (LCA). Through the TEA, we determine the minimum H2 selling price using discounted cash flow analysis and investigate the main cost drivers. The environmental impact of the proposed process is quantified via LCA.

This paper analyses carbon emissions and value-added embodied in trade between two large developed countries, South Korea and the United States, during 2000-2014. Using multi-regional input-output (MRIO) tables, our analysis reveals that carbon emissions and value-added embodied in exports grew by 19% and 101% for South Korea but shrank by 43% and 7% for the United States. As a result, South Korea experienced a 40% increase in net carbon exports and 243% increase in net value-added exports. At the industry level, the primary drivers of changes in carbon exports were electricity and basic materials. The majority of industries in witnessed improvements in carbon intensities suggesting improved environmental efficiency. While both countries achieved a decoupling of carbon emissions from value-added exports, substantial year-to-year and sectoral variations were observed. Finally, structural decomposition analysis indicates that domestic supply-side factors played a role in decreasing emissions whereas foreign demand-side factors contributed to emissions increases. In line with the main findings, various implications for policy and future research are discussed.

This paper attempts to assess the impact and implication of globalization on social welfare in Korea. It is no easy task to give an exact definition of globalization and the concept has been used in many different senses, that is, economic, social, cultural, political globalization. In particular, the meaning of globalization is connected to the rise and expansion of neo-liberalism. Globalization tends to undermine national welfare systems by the social dumping, race to the bottom, privatization of social services, labor market flexibility. On the other hand, in many studies the negative impact of globalization on social welfare has been questioned. Instead of end or erosion of the welfare systems, it is emphasized that competitiveness and welfare may go hand in hand. We investigate the question what and how the social welfare system in Korea has been changed in globalization process. In order to answer, this paper examines the changes in welfare ideology, welfare programs, social stratification level after economic crisis. The result of analysis is that in contrast to globalist expectations which is to retrench social welfare, paradoxically, the welfare system in Korea has been reinforced in globalization process. Therefore, the alleged impact of globalization on social welfare will be independent on the structure of domestic institution, political legacies, and on the socialization of global politics such as IMF, World Bank, ILO, UNDP, etc., on the welfare politics of stakeholders in national state.

국내 전력시장에서 현 혼잡처리방법은 혼잡비용(congestion cost)을 부가비용(uplift)형태로 전력 사용량에 비례하여 시장 전체의 모든 소비자가 부담하고 있다. 반면 다수의 해외 전력시장에서 채택하고 있는 지역한계가격 (Locational Margnal Pricing)방식은 혼잡으로 인한 비용을 시장 참여자들에게 차등적으로 배분하고 있다. 현재 국내 전력시장에서는 송전 혼잡처리방법의 변경으로 인한 시장참여자 수익에 미치는 영향에 대한 체계적인 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 혼잡처리방법의 변경이 국내 전력시장의 소비자 비용과 발전기 잉여에 미치는 영향에 대해서 분석한다.

The issue of sustainable forest management (SFM) continues to emerge as part of the REDD+ mechanism mitigation efforts. Especially for some developing countries, such as Indonesia, forest management is required to provide benefits to the welfare of local communities in addition to forest conservation efforts. This study aims to identify the economic, social, and environmental impacts of community-based forest management (CBFM) implementation activities, which is one of the implementations of SFM at field level. The primary objectives were to find out the impacts of CBFM activities based on local people's perceptions and to identify what factors need to be considered to increase local people's satisfaction on CBFM activities. The data from 6 sub-villages was derived through surveys with local people involved in CBFM activities, interviews with a key informant, and supported by secondary data. The results of the study state that CBFM activities have increased the local people's income as well as their welfare, strengthening the local institution, and help to resolve conflicts in the study area. CBFM has also been successful in protecting forests by rehabilitating unproductive lands and increase forest cover area. By using binary logistic regression analysis, it found that income, business development opportunities, access to forests, conflict resolution, institutional strengthening, and forest rehabilitation variable significantly affected the local people's satisfaction of CBFM activities.

인간이 환경을 보전 복원하고자 하는 목적은 자연이 인간에게 제공하는 환경서비스를 지속적으로 공급받기 위함이다. 이러한 측면에서 유류오염에 대응하고 복원하는 근본적인 목적은 인간의 생활 및 생산환경의 지속성을 유지하기 위한 것이라 할 수 있다. 즉, 유류유출의 사회경제적 피해영향 및 복원정도 모니터링은 손상된 자연환경의 기능 회복에 중요한 요소이다. 하지만 사회경제적 영향평가는 직간접적 관련자들의 이해와 직결되어 있어 적절한 조사 및 평가 방법을 선택하는 것이 어렵고 결과를 해석하는 것도 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 허베이 스피리트호 유류유출 사고를 대상으로 생활 및 생산환경 피해 모니터링의 주요 지표인 수산, 관광부문의 영향평가를 위해 기존의 문헌 및 통계자료조사 외에 지역주민 체감조사를 병행하였다. 조사 결과, 복원의 수준은 40~50 % 수준이고, 복원정도는 둔화 혹은 감소하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 체감조사결과가 문헌 및 통계자료 조사결과 보다 2~10 점 정도 낮은 것으로 평가되었다. 결론적으로 기존의 사회경제적 영향평가를 위해 기본적으로 수행하여 왔던 문헌 및 통계자료를 통한 분석이 피해영향 복원의 지표로 삼기에는 한계가 있음을 보여주었고, 실제 피해지역 주민들이 체감하는 영향과 복원정도에 대한 분석의 필요성을 제기하였다.
