  • 본 연구는 용인시의 채무제로화 정책과정을 Kingdon의 다중흐름모형을 통해 분석하여 지방정부의 재정역량 강화 및 경쟁력 제고에 기여하고자 하였다. 용인시는 2012년 기준 약 8,000억원의 지방채무를 가지고 있었으나 2017년 초 채무상환을 완료하였다는 점에서 분석대상으로 선정하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 정책문제의 흐름은 용인시의 채무지표에 대한 인식, 경전철사업의 실패 및 역북지구의 택지분양 실패이다. 둘째, 정치의 흐름은 새로운 지방자치단체장의 당선과 공무원 예산 삭감 등의 행정부 협조, 주민들의 협조로 볼 수 있다. 셋째, 정책대안의 흐름은 대규모 투자사업 축소, 유휴공유 재산 매각을 통한 세입확대 및 세수증대, 경전철 활성화 정책이다. 이러한 정책문제의 흐름, 정치흐름, 정책대안의 흐름이 독립적으로 흐르다가 부동산경기 활성화와 역북지구 매각이라는 정책의 창이 열리면서 경전철 활성화 등의 기타 정책적 요소와 결합하였다. 이 과정에서 긴축재정을 위한 관계기관 협상과 설득 등의 정책선도가의 역할이 크게 작용하였다. 이러한 정책의 산출물로써 용인시는 채무제로를 달성하게 되었다. 본 연구를 통해 지방재정 역량 제고를 위해서 정책선도가의 역할의 중요성 뿐만 아니라 행정부와 시민의 협조, 대형 투자사업 추진 검토체계 등의 제도적 보완이 필요함을 밝혔다.

  • Knowledge plays a more important role in promoting entrepreneurship in the current information-led society than it did during the age of industrialization. Many recent studies found that entrepreneurship stimulates and generates innovation and economic growth. In response to the issues of long-term low growth, the Japanese government implemented several policies to encourage universities initiate entrepreneurial activities. This paper examines Japanese policies since 2014 that support universities in providing various programs for developing global entrepreneurs. Thirteen academic institutes were beneficiaries of three-year funding since the fiscal year of 2014. Each university designed its own educational programs according to their own contexts, built various forms of innovation ecosystems with domestic as well as international partner organizations, and offered entrepreneurship training courses or innovation workshops for companies to sustain its programs through broadening their funding bases. Due to the interdisciplinary nature and short history in operating the programs so far, it is difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of the programs. However, each participating university accumulated knowledge and experience while carrying out their various programs, suggesting important new directions for policymakers and education program designers in facilitating entrepreneurship and innovation.

  • The Canadian experience-universal government health insurance administeredby the ten provinces and two territories with some fiscal and policy variations-suggests the possibility of more effectve and efficient health care delivery system. The central purpose of the Canadian health in surance was to reduce and hopefully eliminate financial barriers to medical care. In this it succeeded. But it also produced varous kinds of unexpected side-effects on cost and quality. The Federal and Provincial Governments of Canada continue to exert theri efforts to ameliorate these problems. The lesson from Canada is that the health care revenue should be raised at the national level and managed at the regional level, and the regional healthcare financing organization has to take over the functions of the public health center. These alternatives is expected to make the Korean health care delivery system more efective and efficient, and to achieve health for all. This paper also discussed the policy agenda for implementing such alternatives in Korea.

  • As the COVID-19 pandemic crisis left developing countries with economic setbacks, it is high time to highlight that innovative technologies lead the digital economy. The big powers including the United States and China are already implementing industrial policies that involve large-scale fiscal expenditures to secure the lives and safety of their people. To prepare for the future up to 2025, this paper reflects opinions of industry-academia-research experts regarding changes in the external environment and industry trends. By reflecting results of focus group interviews and changes in the external environment and industry trends, a new high-level 5X strategy (Digital Transformation, Energy Transformation, Bio Health Transformation, Supply Chain Transformation, and Research Transformation) to solve national tasks required for the existing ten policy demand fields and ten agenda during lower-level policy implementation stages were derived.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of the minimum wage policy and the employment labor force in Myanmar by exploring firms' actions such as installing supplementary machines to substitute for labor resources and by addressing gender issues in employment. Research design, data, and methodology: This paper applies a fixed-effect estimation method by using the World Bank's enterprise panel data set surveyed in Myanmar. Results: Findings suggest that the minimum wage reduces both full-time and part-time employment, while the first minimum wage policy increases overall female employment. The adverse impacts are more pronounced for female employees of Joint Venture enterprises and enterprises located in the less-populated regions. Investment in capital such as equipment and machinery increase to substitute for labor after the minimum wage policy implementation; as a result, full-time employment slightly decreases. Conclusions: Appropriate measures concerning the minimum wage policy must be prepared by the government and institutions related to the labor union to serve the well-being of employees. Government of Myanmar should fix the minimum wage in a reasonable period based on the fiscal year for both employers and employees to prevent possible issues and losses resulting from the minimum wage being set.

  • 이 논문에서는 복지국가 트릴레마 개념이 최근 복지국가의 변화를 설명하는 데 여전히 유효한 개념인가를 검토한다. 이를 위하여 퍼지셋 이상형 분석(fuzzy-set ideal type analysis)을 활용하여 1980년대부터 2010년까지 서비스경제에서 복지국가가 소득 평등, 고용 증대, 건전 재정이라는 세 가지 목표를 어떻게 달성하고 있는지를 분석하였다. 지난 30여 년 동안 복지국가의 성과를 분석한 결과를 보면, 복지국가 트릴레마 -세 가지 목표 중에서 두 가지만을 선택하여 달성하고 나머지 한 가지는 희생시키는 상황가 서비스경제에서 복지국가가 추구하는 목표와 성과를 설명하는 데 적합하지 않다는 것을 확인하였다. 단지, '자유주의 모형'에 속하는 국가들의 경우 소득 평등을 희생하고 고용 증가와 재정 건전성의 목표를 달성하고 있다는 점에서 트릴레마 개념이 설득력을 지녔다. 그러나 보수주의 복지체제에 속하는 국가들은 고용 확대에서 어려움을 겪고 있다는 것에 더하여 1980년대 초반까지 양호한 성과를 기록하였던 소득 평등과 재정 건전성 문제가 악화되며 다양하게 분화하고 있다. 보수주의 복지체제에 속하는 대표적 국가인 독일은 소득 불평등이 심화되고, 파견직을 중심으로 비정규직 고용이 증가하여 '자유주의 모형'으로 근접해 갔고, 프랑스는 소득 평등, 고용 증가, 건전 재정의 세 가지 목표를 모두 달성하지 못하는 '위기 모형'으로 근접해 가며 최근 경제위기를 겪고 있는 남유럽 국가들과 같은 모형으로 분류되고 있다. '사회민주주의 모형'에 속한 복지국가들은 2000년대에 들어와 재정 건전성을 달성하면서, 세 가지 목표를 모두 달성하는 '완전 모형'으로 분류되고 있다. 그리고 세 가지 목표들 중에서 어느 한 가지만을 달성하고 나머지 두 개의 목표를 희생하는 복지국가들, 이 연구에서 '고용형 모형', '평등형 모형', '재정 건전형 모형'에 속한 국가들이 나타나고 있다. 따라서 Iversen & Wren이 서비스경제에서 복지국가들이 트릴레마 상황에 처해 있다는 주장은 사실과 다르다. 복지국가 트릴레마는 서비스경제에서 복지국가의 목표와 분배정치의 결과를 설명하는 데 더 이상 적절한 개념이 될 수 없다.

  • We achieved both industrialization and democratization during the shortest period in the world. We also achieved good performance in national health insurance: universal coverage, solidarity in financing, equitable access of health care. However, national health insurance system has faced the problem of sustainability: various expenditure and financing problems. The problem of sustainablity has two facets of economic sustainability and fiscal sustainability. Economic sustainability refers to growth in health spending as a proportion of gross domestic product(GDP). Rapid increasing rate of health spending exceeds the growth rate of domestic product. Growth in health spending is more likely to threaten other areas of economic activity. Concern on fiscal sustainability relates to revenue and expenditure on health care. Health care financing face demographic and technical obstacles. Democratic obstacle is aging problem. Technical obstacle is collection of contribution. Expenditure of health care has various problems in benefit structure and efficiency of health care system. In this article, I suggest several policy reforms to enhance sustainability: generating additional revenue from value added tax, changing method of levying contribution, increasing efficiency of health care system by introducing the competition principle. restructuring of benefit scheme of health insurance. contracting with health care institutions to provide health care services.

  • 지난 몇 년 동안 많은 나라에서 전자정부 정책을 추진하고 있다. 그러나 UN의 전자정부 평가결과에서도 나타난 것처럼 전자정부 진척도는 국가마다 차이를 보이는 것을 알 수 있다. 본고에서는, 이처럼 국가별로 전자정부 진척도에 왜 차이가 생길까에 주목하고, 경제적 요인과 조직적 요인 등 2개의 요인으로 나누어 정량적·정석적인 분석을 했다. 분석 결과, 전자정부 진척에 미치는 요인 중 경제적인 요인에서는 1인당 GDP성장률, 그리고 경제 활동의 편리성 지표로서 기업 설립에 있어서 필요로 하는 기간이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 조직적인 요인으로는 대통령이나 총리직속의 부처가 강력한 리더십 하에 전자정부 전략 등을 수립하는 것이 중요한 것으로 나타났다.

  • This study examines the impact of corporate tax, a fiscal measure along with trade liberalization and research and development on total factor productivity for a panel of 153 industrial firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange over the period 1997-2017. For empirical analysis, we employ the system generalized method of moment estimator. In the first step, we estimate industrial production function and the results reveal that raw material, industrial labour force and energy play vital role in enhancing industrial production. Whereas, industrial capital exerts negative impact on industrial output. We also measured total factor productivity using the production elasticities. In the second step, we examine the impact of corporate tax, trade liberalization and research and development on total factor productivity. The results indicate that higher level of corporate tax exerts negative impact on total factor productivity. The findings reveal that higher corporate taxation discourages industrial firms to undertake research and development thereby exerting adverse impact on total factor productivity of firms. The impact of trade liberalization proxied by average tariff is positive while customs duty and sales tax negatively impact firm-level total factor productivity. These findings provide useful insights for managers, investors and policy makers in Pakistan.

  • In this paper I tried quantitative measures of the rent-seeking for budgetary allocations in Korean fisheries. There is a great deal of ignorance about the level of rent-seeking that takes place as a consequence of government expenditures and the potential for influencing their allocation, and so the attempt by Kats and Rosenberg(1989) to measure this in terms of the extent of annual changes in these allocations was a significant step forward. The opportunity to concentrate net public expenditure benefits within the fiscal function of the state gives rise to rent-seeking by special interest taxpayer-citizens through government budget allocations, special interest groups and coalitions of special interest groups. There are several important implications of budgetary rent-seeking. Budgetary rent-seeking is composed of 'income' and substitution effects, the budgetary 'income' effect is the general increase in government expenditures from one period to another. According to result of this analysis, average expenditures were 17.0% of total fisheries budget in 1966-2005. Therefore, distribution of fisheries budget should be converted by indirect support systems to reduce these rent-seeking behaviors.
