This paper examines the effect of the government college loan program in Korea on student academic performance, dropout decisions and loan defaults. While fairness in educational opportunities has been guaranteed to some degree through this program, which started in 2009, there has been a great deal of controversy over its effectiveness. Empirical findings suggest that recipients of general student loan (GSL) lower academic performance than those who received income contingent loan (ICL). Moreover, for students attending private universities, a higher number of loans received increased the probability of a dropout decision, and students from middle-income households had a higher probability of being overdue than students from low-income households. These findings indicate that expanding the ICL program within the allowance of the government budget is necessary. Furthermore, providing opportunities for students to find various jobs and introducing a rating system for defaulters are two necessary tasks.

정책자금의 대출금리는 기준금리에 정책목적성 스프레드와 신용위험 스프레드를 합한 것으로 결정할 수 있다. 중진공의 중산기금 대출사업은 정책목적성 중심의 저금리 대출이라는 공공성에 치우쳐져 있기 때문에 기금의 안정성과 수익성은 크게 훼손되고 있다. 중산기금이 설치목적과 공익에 맞도록 운영되더라도 기금의 안정성과 수익성이 훼손되어서는 아니 된다. 결국 중산기금 중 대출사업 관리주체인 중진공은 대출금리 설정에 있어서 최소한 기금에 손실이 발생하지 않게끔 대출금리를 설정해야 한다. 이는 정부의 정책목적성 스프레드를 현재 부(-)에서 영(0)으로 바꾸어 나가야 함을 의미한다.

This study describes the structure of the capital markets for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startup companies in Korea, which is an emerging market that has experienced drastic changes. The overall capital market can be divided into private and public capital markets. In the private capital market, most of the demand for capital comes from non-listed private firms, including startups and SMEs. In the case of SMEs and startups, the KOSDAQ, the Korea New Exchange (KONEX), and primary collateralized bond obligations (P-CBOs) are part of the public capital market. SMEs and startups are generally incapable of raising sufficient capital owing to their low credit ratings, and they largely have limited access to primary markets to issue shares and borrow money. The Korean government has developed a systematic financial aid program to provide funds to these companies. The fund for SMEs has significantly contributed to the development of the venture capital market. Many Korean banks provide substantial lending to SMEs, but this lending is available only because of the Korean government's loan recovery guarantee. Furthermore, SMEs can issue corporate debt in the form of primary collateralized bond obligations through government guarantees, but such debt issuances have placed increasing pressure on public guarantee institutions.

Marketing Survey was done in Chongyang Boxthron market, Kyoung-dong herb market in Seoul. The results are as follows ; Reviewing the Boxthron market prices, the price of direct transaction was the highest one and that of Agricultural Cooperatives was next one, Chongyang market price was lowest one. Therefore, the efforts including exclusive labeling, high class packing strategies of Boxthron with lower pollution would be necessary. The seasonal variation Boxthron prices were lowest in Aug.-Sept., harvesting season, and highest in april-june prices, off-crop season. Farmers have sold 45% of all products in Aug.-Oct. at lowest price and the remaining 15% of that sold in april-june at the highest prices. On account of the above reasons, loan for Boxthron production, government purchasing and storage program of it especially in harvesting season from Aug. to Oct. should be adopted to increase Boxthron producer income.

중소기업의 자금조달 문제를 해소하기 위한 수단으로 정부와 지방자치단체에서는 다양한 중소기업 정책자금 지원제도를 운영하고 있다. 본 연구는 강원도의 정책자금 지원제도를 소개하고 이 제도의 수혜기업들의 재무적 성과를 분석하고자 한다. 이를 통해 강원도 정책자금지원제도 개선을 위한 시사점을 제시하고자 한다. 2014년도부터 강원도 산업경제진흥원은 강원도의 중소기업 정책자금을 위탁받아 운영하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 동 기관을 통해 2014년 중소기업 정책자금을 지원받은 기업들의 재무적 성과를 계량적으로 분석하였다. 구체적으로, 정책자금을 지원받은 강원도의 지원기업과 통제군인 비지원기업의 지원 전, 지원 당해 및 지원 후 3개년간의 재무비율 비교를 통해 정책자금지원이 기업의 수익성, 안정성, 성장성 향상에 기여를 하였는지 회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 실증분석결과, 강원도에서 정책자금을 지원받은 기업들은 수익성(영업이익률, ROE), 안정성(이자보상배수, 부채비율), 성장성(총자산증가율, 매출액증가율) 어느 지표에서도 비지원기업 대비 개선의 성과를 찾을 수 없었다. 이는 엄격한 중소기업정책자금 대상업체 선정기준 및 지원 이후의 사후관리체계가 부재한 상태에서 기업 대출금의 2~4% 수준의 이자만을 지원해주는 이차보전(利差補塡) 방식의 현 강원도 중소기업 정책자금 지원제도에 개선이 필요할 수 있음을 시사한다.

This study is aimed at evaluating the present management status of the rural special production area development projects and identifying managerial problems to propose new direction of the political countermeasures for the projects. In the con text of implementing the five year's economic developent plans for the past three decades, agricultural production and farm-household income have also been grown rapidly. However the income gap between rural and urbarn laborer, as an internal problem, has widened during the decades and the UR problems concerning free trade of agricultural products, as an external problems, are now agonizing the small-holder farm economy in Korea. The internal and external farm problems could be solved through improvement of agricultural structure and provision of off-farm jobs for farm household income increase. As a part of the off-farm income sources, the rural special production area development projects have propelled by the government throughout the country. The main problems to be solved for the successful implementation of the projects are as follows : 1. Present loan amount by the financial fund was estimated at 6-7% of the total installation costs required. To expand and implement the project successfully, enough financial credit support with favorable terms and conditions have to be considered by the government. 2. The operation patterns of the special production area development project should be recommended from the view point of cooperative and private operation to maximize farm household incomes including profits, marketing charges and dividens. 3. Improvement of the marketing channel of the products and marketing information through TV program and other mass communication should be implemented strongly to promote marketsales by the financial supports of the government. 4. In connection with the off-farm income increase, the population migrating to urban area in outside Chungnam province equivalent to 10-12 thousand persons with age of 20-49 years should be taken into account politically to be employed in the projects in the province. 5. Surplus farm labors should be created by means of improvement of agricultural structure including large farm management with farm mechanization and job opportunities have also to be provided in connection with the rural special production area development projects. The two imminent subjects are the prerequisites to increase off-farm incomes for the farmers living in Chungnam province. 6. Required credit supports for investment and operation costs of the projects should be taken actions by the government.
