This paper examines how a Korean automobile firm price-discriminates between the Korean and the U.S. markets. We argue that a Korean automobile firm's pricing behavior depends on the differences in price elasticity over the segmented markets between the countries. Our findings are that differences in price elasticity may help explain why a medium-class car's price is higher in Korea than that in the U.S. while a small-sized car's price is higher in the U.S. than in Korea, which implies that a Korean automobile firm $3^{rd}$ degree price-discriminates on the same or similar products between Korea and the U.S. This type of $3^{rd}$ degree price discrimination differs from a typical home-bias effect (charging higher prices to domestic consumers) because a small-sized car which is produced domestically sells at higher price abroad. This finding can be added as a source that violates the law of one price.

Purpose: This study explores the impact of discrimination experience on stress levels among Seoul's public housing complex residents, emphasizing the moderating role of social capital. Research design, data and methodology: Utilizing the 2019 Seoul public housing (PH) panel data and an ordered logit model, the research categorizes residents based on personal and environmental factors, contrasting them across different local housing price levels. Results: We find that public housing residents' experience of discrimination has a significant impact on stress, and local housing prices are positively related to stress. Interestingly, stress due to discrimination is more pronounced in high-priced neighborhoods, which are associated with real estate inequality. Conversely, this impact is less pronounced in lower-priced neighborhoods. Importantly, social capital not only has a significant moderating effect on stress for all residents, but in high-priced neighborhoods, it also moderates the stress caused by experiences of discrimination for social housing residents. Conclusions: These findings highlight the need for policy interventions to strengthen social capital and address socioeconomic disparities in public housing, and are significant for analyzing the nuanced relationship between neighborhood, housing affordability, discrimination, and stress in urban communities for public housing residents, which is a socially problematic issue.

해외 판매 BC유의 국제벙커링과 수출의 경우에는 거의 유사한 품질에도 불구하고 서로 다른 가격으로 판매되고 있으며, 이 두 시장에서의 가격 차이는 2002년 이후에 크게 확대되는 모습을 보이고 있다. 실증 분석을 통하여 한국에서의 벙커링 가격과 수출 가격의 차이가 2002년 6월을 기점으로 구조적인 변화가 발생하였을 가능성이 있으며, 2002년 6월까지는 두 가격의 차이를 설명하지 못하였던 싱가포르에서의 벙커링과 연료유 가격 차이가 2002년 7월부터는 한국에서 두 가격의 차이를 설명하는 요인으로 나타나고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 미래 유가 상승을 기대하게 하는 전기 시차의 국제 원유가격의 상승률도 한국에서 벙커링과 수출 가격의 차이를 설명하는 요인임을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 추정 결과는 한국에서의 국제벙커링과 수출의 가격 차이가 가격차별에 의해서 설명될 가능성을 배제하지는 않는 결과이다.

Purpose - International trade leads to the international division of labor, improving the efficiency of the global economic system. Transport costs are a more serious barrier to international trade than customs tariffs. An increase in competition in the transport sector may thus lead to a reduction in transport costs. However, if a carrier's nationality significantly influences transport costs, simply adding more competing carriers of different nationalities would be ineffective. Therefore, it is necessary to establish national or regional carriers to influence competition and reduce transport costs. This study investigates this "nationality effect" by treating Hanjin Shipping's collapse as a natural experiment. Design/methodology - The theoretical basis of this study is the 3rd-degree price discrimination in container shipping market. By using the monthly data of container freight rates of Korea, China and Japan, this study shows the so-called Korea Premiums, which are the empirical counterparts of nationality effect in Korea container shipping market. For this empirical investigation, the structural model with state-space form is used and the dummy models are also estimated. In addition, because China has been also affected by the Hanjin's collapse, the China premiums are considered too. Findings - Compared with Japan's case, it is shown that there had been the so-called Korea premiums since the collapse of Hanjin Shipping. These results are robust from both the state-space model and dummy models. The time pattern of Korea premiums was consistent with the market evolution, especially the pattern of substitutability in container shipping markets. In addition, this paper shows the magnitude of Korea premiums. Originality/value - The argument of this study that the nationality effect can be interpreted as an extended concept of the home market effect is original, which is expected to evoke future research efforts. Further, the discussion on the shipping industrial policy from both horizontal and vertical aspects will provide the relevant policy makers with solid information, especially for the policy coordination in a global scale.

Our nation has a problem with discrimination of income distribution and inefficient of resources distribution caused by real estate price rising from a sudden economy growth and industrialization. Specially, in recent years, there is a great disparity of condominium price between the north and south of the Han river. Because the housing price is deciede by the immanent value of a house and neighborhood effects of the regional where the house is situated, the housing price is occurred difference. In this study, I analyzed the differences of housing price determinants about condominium developments in the old and new residential areas, and found the important factors that affect the condominium price using Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) The purpose of study is to analyze the influence of various factors of housing price. Also, this study tried to predict real estate market and to establish previous effective real estate policy.

As an effective means of price discrimination, some suppliers offer trade credit to the distributors in order to stimulate the demand for the product they produce. The availability of the delay in payments from the supplier enables discount of the distributor's selling price from a wider range of the price option in anticipation of increased customer's demand. Since the distributor's lot-size is affected by the demand for the customer, the distributor's lot-size and the selling price determination problem is interdependent and must be solved at the same time. Also, in many common business transactions, the distributor pays the shipping cost for the order and hence, the distributor's ordering cost consists of a fixed ordering cost and the shipping cost that depend on the order quantity. In this regard, we deal with the joint lot-size and price determination problem when the supplier allows delay in payments for an order of a product. The positive effects of credit transactions can be integrated into the EOQ (economic order quantity) model through the consideration of retailing situations, where the customer's demand is a function of the distributor's selling price. It is also assumed that the distributor's order cost consists of a fixed ordering cost and the variable shipping cost. We formulate the distributor's mathematical model from which the solution algorithm is derived based on properties of an optimal solution. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the algorithm developed.

외상 거래는 고객의 수요를 증대시킬 목적으로 공급자가 경쟁 업체와의 가격 차별화 수단의 하나로 활용되어진다. 특히 공급자(Supplier), 중간유통자(Retailer) 그리고 고객(Customer)으로 구성되는 2 단계 공급사슬의 경우 공급자로부터 허용되는 상품 대금의 지불 유예는 중간유통자의 재고투자비용을 줄이는 수단이 되고, 중간유통자는 줄어든 재고 투자비용의 절감으로부터 최종 고객의 수요 증대를 기대하면서 판매 가격을 할인 할 수 있는 여지를 갖게 된다. 이와 같이 외상을 통한 지불 유예가 고객의 수요 증대를 목적으로 경쟁 기업과의 차별화 방안으로 제공되어 진다는 면에서 보면 외상 거래 기간은 거래량에 따라 차등적으로 허용되는 것이 좀 더 일반적일 수 있다. 퇴화성 제품의 경우 주문량에 따라 주어지는 외상 거래 기간은 중간유통자의 주문량에 긍정적인 요인이 되지만 제품의 퇴화는 주문량의 증가에 부정적인 요인이 될 수 있어 중간유통자의 재고정책 결정에는 두 요인의 절충이 필요하고, 특히 퇴화율은 중간유통자의 재고정책 결정에 중요한 역할을 하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 주문량에 따라 종속적으로 외상 거래기간이 허용되는 상황 하에서 퇴화율이 중간유통자의 재고정책에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 한다.

본 연구에서 우리는 공급자(supplier), 중간유통자(distributor) 그리고 최종 고객(customer)으로 구성되는 2 단계 공급망에서 중간유통자 입장의 재고 모형을 분석하였다. 공급자는 고객의 수요 증대를 목적으로 판매 제품에 대한 대금을 일정한 기간 동안 신용 거래를 허용하고, 중간유통자의 주문비용은 고정비 성격의 주문 비용과 운송량(주문량)에 따라 종속적으로 운송비용이 발생하는 상황을 고려하였다. 일반적으로 중간유통자 입장에서 볼 때 신용 거래를 통하여 공급자로부터 제품 대금에 대한 지불이 유예되면, 재고에 대한 투자 비용이 절감되는 효과가 발생하게 된다. 최종 고객의 수요는 중간유통자의 판매 가격에 따라 영향을 받게 되므로 중간유통자는 최종 고객의 수요를 증대 시킬 목적으로 판매 가격의 조정이 가능하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 공급자가 중간유통자에게 제품 판매 대금에 대하여 일정한 기간 동안 신용 거래를 허용하는 상황 하에서 중간유통자의 주문 비용이 고정 주문 비용과 함께 주문량에 따라 종속적으로 발생하는 운송비용을 포함한다는 가정 하에 중간유통자 측면의 경제적 주문량과 판매 가격 결정 문제를 분석하였다. 또한 문제 분석을 위하여 중간유통자의 재고는 시간이 지나감에 따라 일정한 비율로 퇴화한다는 가정 하에 중간유통자의 연간 총 이익에 대한 수리 모형을 수립하였고, 총이익을 최대화하는 경제적 주문량과 판매 가격 결정을 위한 해법을 개발하였다.

Dumping describes the practice of international price discrimination whereby a producer or exporter sells merchandise in an export market at less than fair value. The U.S. antidumping statutory framework is embodied in the Tariff Act of 1930. The Act states that "dumping" refers to the sale or likely sale of goods at less than fair value. 19 U.S.C. $\S$ 1677(34). The Commerce Department and the Commission are jointly responsible for administering the antidumping law. Commerce determines whether foreign merchandise is being sold in the United States at less than fair value, and the Commission determines whether a domestic industry producing a product like the imported merchandise has been materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of that product. Recently, in U.S. v. Eurodif, the Supreme Court held the question whether the Commerce can reasonably determin that foreign merchandise has been sold within the meaning of the antidumping law in U.S.. Should 19 U.S.C. Section 1673, which calls for "antidumping" duties on foreign goods, but not services, that sell at less than fair value in the U.S., apply to imported low enriched uranium? Yes. In a unanimous opinion written by Justice David H. Souter, the Supreme Court held that the Commerce Department's view of imported low enriched uranium, as the sale of goods rather than services, was permissible. It reasoned that, since 19 U.S.C. Section 1673 did not specify whether it applied to the production of low enriched uranium, it was left to the reasonable interpretation of the Commerce Department to determine. Accordingly, the Court found the Commerce Department interpreted the statute reasonably.

This study surveys the state of 'children's snacks' sold within the Green Food Zone and that of High Calorie Foods with Low Nutrition Value (HCFLNV). The main purposes are the analyses of foods in accordance to KFDA Program for HCFLNV and an analysis of differences in HCFLNV that are dependent on relevant factors such as food types, school types, origins, the scale of manufacturing company, area and price. Based on the analyses, educational and political implications have been sought that will form nutritious dietary habits, contribute to the prevention of obesity, and improve health in child consumers. The methodologies of this study are literature studies and surveys. The results of this study can be summarized as following. First, the number of children's snacks is 517 items of total 645 gathered within 150 Green Food Zones. Candies are the most popular item, next are cookies, chocolates, and breads. Second, in the real state survey there are 186 HCFLNV (36.0%) among children's snacks sold within Green Food Zone. Based on the survey results, the marking of HCFLNV on the package of children's snacks and the extension of the ban of HCFLNV sales to all stores within the Green Food Zone are strongly suggested. This provides preliminary data related to children's snacks and food safety. With enforcement of the Special Act on the Safety Management of Children's Dietary Life, the rate of HCFLNV has decreased and the child snack product environment in stores has improved. However, it is necessary to supervise low-priced snacks and promote an awareness of HCFLNV along with the child consumer education of food safety is needed.
