The objectives of this research is to find the factors which determined hospital profitability. The unit of analysis is hospital, and the data is collected from two sources. One source is derived from Ministry of Health and Social Affairs(4 years' data from 134 hospitals), and another source is derived from Sam-II Accounting Co.(1 year's data from 37 hospitals). Hospital profitability, which is dependent variable in our research, is measured with financial ration, such as ROI(reture on investment). The major findings are as follows; 1) The hospital profitability is determined with not hospital type itself but management-incentives associated with hospital type. 2) The maximum profitability is obtained in 775 bed-size. 3) The hospital location isn't a factor to determine profitability 4) The internal control and management, such as account receivables, inventory, fixed assert investment, is major factor to hospital profitability.

The increased investment in technological innovations makes the investigation of factors affecting technology adoption more interesting. Several perspectives have been proposed to explain the determinants of information technology adoption. While the traditional innovation diffusion research streams try to explain and predict adoption behavior with the adopter's perceptions about the characteristics of the innovation itself, critical mass theorists argue that adoption behavior as a collective action is based on what their business partners are doing and whether there exists enough critical mass to justify the investment. Drawing on theses two perspectives, this study investigates the decision criteria in the adoption of information technology as innovation and factors affecting the decision criteria. The survey results reveal that the adoption behavior is affected both by innovation characteristics and by critical mass's activity. Correlation analysis, t-test, and stepwise regression models also show that as the environmental uncertainty is getting higher, adoption decision is affected more by what others are doing, and that highly competitive organizations seem to play the role of critical mass.

The paper examines the effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on the economic growth of Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) between 1993 and 2015. The investigation is based on the influence of growth and economic absorptive capability determinants such as human capital, trade openness, and institutional quality. The methodological analysis uses a multivariate framework accounting capital stock, labor stock, FDI, human capital, trade openness, and institutional quality in regression of the Vector Autoregressive model. Augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test, Johansen Cointegration test, and Granger Causality test were applied as parts of the econometric time-series analysis approach. The empirical results demonstrate the positive effects of FDI and trade openness, and the negative effects of human capital and institutional quality on the economic growth of the Lao PDR over the 1993 to 2015 period. The findings confirm that trade openness complemented by a sufficient level of infrastructure, education, quality institutions, and transparency significantly influence economic growth and attract more FDI. Research results lend credence to the need for the Lao PDR's government to focus on improving its economic absorptive capability and economic competitiveness regionally and globally by improving wealth and resource management strategies, as failure to take this course of action could lead to the Dutch Disease effects.

In our study, we extracted the market, finance, and government factors determining R&D investment of individual firms in the IT industry in Korea. We collected the financial data of 515 individual firms belonging to IT and non-IT industries between 1980 and 1999 from the Korea Investors Service's database and investigated the empirical relationship between the factors using an ordinary regression model, a fixed effects model, and a random effects model. The main findings of our study are as follows: i) The Herfindahl Index variable representing the degree of market concentration is statistically insignificant in explaining R&D expenditures in the IT manufacturing industry. ii) Assets, which is used as a proxy variable for firm size, have a positive and statistically significant coefficient. These two results suggest that the Schumpeterian Hypothesis may be only partially applied to the IT manufacturing industry in Korea. iii) The dividend variable has a negative value and is statistically significant, indicating that a tendency of high dividends can restrict the internal cash flow for R&D investment. iv) The sales variable representing growth potential shows a positive coefficient. v) The subsidy as a proxy variable for governmental R&D promotion policies is positively correlated with R&D expenditure. This suggests that government policy has played a significant role in promoting R&D activities of IT firms in Korea since 1980. vi) Using a dummy variable, we verified that firms reduced their R&D investments to secure sufficient liquidity under the restructuring pressure during Korea's 1998 and 1999 economic crisis.

This study was performed to explore the factors that affect the debt-reuse intention of defaulters. The focus of this study is on defaulters who used debt for stock investment. Debt-usage differences were considered since they had different psychological backgrounds. A total of 712 self-administered questionnaires (stock=131 and no-stock=581) were analyzed using SPSS. The major findings were as follows : First, the level of perceived behavioral control was the highest and the level of attitudes toward using debt was the lowest among the psychological factors in both groups. Second, perceived behavioral control was different according to age and income. No such significant association was found in attitudes toward using debt, subjective norms and behavioral intention in the stock group. Third, behavioral intention was explained by attitudes toward using debt and subjective norms in the stock group. However, in the no-stock group, behavioral intention was explained by attitudes toward using debt, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control. These findings have important pragmatical meaning in that they show the determinants of debt reuse by stock investment defaulters.

중국의 급속한 경제성장은 환경에 커다란 부하를 초래하였고, 이를 통해 대기오염 문제도 심각해졌다. 본 연구는 중국의 대기오염 원인을 경험적으로 분석하였다. 표준오차 패널수정 추정기법(PCSE)을 이용하여 중국의 30개 성을 대상으로 아황산가스 및 질소산화물의 배출요인을 분석하였다. 아황산가스의 경우 일인당 실질소득이 증가할수록 배출 수준이 감소하고, 질소산화물은 일인당 실질소득과 역N자형의 관계에 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 소득 이외의 배출 요인으로 우선 전기소비량은 아황산가스나 질소산화물을 증가시키는 요인이었고, 석탄소비량은 아황산가스 배출을 증가시키는 반면에 천연가스 소비량은 아황산가스 배출을 감소시키는 요인으로 나타났다. 한편 에너지 산업에 대한 투자와 폐가스 처리에 대한 투자는 아황산가스 배출을 감소시키는 결정요인이지만 질소산화물 배출에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 디젤 소비량, 트럭 비율 및 차량 수는 질소산화물 배출을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 강수량의 증가도 아황산가스와 질소산화물의 배출을 감소시킨 요인이었다. 끝으로 본 연구의 정책적 시사점과 향후 연구방향을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 부산시 19개 주택재개발사업구역의 7,396명의 표본을 대상으로 도시재생에 의한 지역주민의 주거재정착 여부와 그 비용에 대한 결정요인을 소유자 특성과 토지 및 건축물 특성, 단지특성, 입지특성 등의 변수를 통해 실증분석하였다. 도시재생에 의한 주거재정착과 주거재정착 비용에 대한 결정요인 분석결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 도시재생에 의한 주거재정착을 결정짓는 요인으로는 소유자의 연령, 거주지, 부동산의 보유기간, 투자여부, 소유권외 권리 등의 설정 등의 소유자 특성과 해당 토지의 지목, 건축물의 용도, 토지와 건축물의 면적과 허가유무, 보상액 등의 토지 및 건축물 특성, 시공사의 브랜드, 조합원 할인액, 단지규모, 중대형 주택의 비율, 녹지율, 건폐율, 용적률 등의 단지특성과 대생활권을 나타내는 입지특성으로 구성된다. 반면, 단지특성에서는 시공사의 브랜드 가치, 중대형 주택의 비율, 용적률 등 주택의 가치를 향상시킬 수 있는 조건들이 주민들의 재정착을 유도하는데 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

최근 고금리, 경기둔화로 인한 벤처투자 위축이 전 세계적으로 진행 중이며, 우리나라도 예외가 아니다. M&A와 상장시장의 침체, 경기불확실성 증가, 기업 파산의 여파로 인한 투자심리 위축으로 벤처기업의 자금조달에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이렇게 바뀐 경제 환경에서 벤처캐피탈의 투자의사결정 요인도 많은 변화를 나타내고 있다. 하지만, 벤처캐피탈의 투자의사결정에 대한 연구는 일반적인 경제 환경에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 본 연구는 경제 후퇴와 호황에 따라 벤처캐피탈의 투자의사결정 요인이 어떻게 변화하는지를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 경제 불황과 호황을 모두 겪은 적극적인 벤처 투자자들을 인터뷰하여 벤처캐피탈의 투자의사결정 요인: 1)창업자의 개인적 특성, 2)창업자의 경험, 3) 제품/서비스, 4) 시장, 5) 재무상황, 6) 투자조건, 7) 벤처캐피탈 공동투자가 어떻게 변화하는지를 비교하여 연구하였다. 연구결과, 투자의사결정 요인인 창업자의 개인적 특성, 경험, 제품/서비스는 경제 불황기에 더 높은 중요도를 가졌다. 시장 요인은 경제 호황기에 약간 높은 수준의 중요도를 나타냈다. 재무적 상황과 투자조건 요인은 경제 불황기에 경제 호황기 대비 중요도가 급격히 상승하였다. 마지막으로 벤처캐피탈 공동 투자는 경제 불황과 호황기에 많은 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구는 최근 어려워진 벤처투자 환경에서 벤처캐피탈의 투자의사결정 요인을 보다 심도 있게 이해함으로써, 스타트업의 자금 조달을 돕고, 어려운 시장에서 생존하는 방안 마련에 도움을 준다.
