This article examines the causality relationship among SMP, base-load share, LNG import price, and exchange rate in Korean power market during 2002~2012, using unit root test, cointegration test, and vector error correction model(VECM). The cointegration test shows that 4 variables without unit root have been in the long-run causality. As the results of ECM, SMP is analyzed to have been unilaterally caused from LNG import price and base-load share in the shot-run, while it has been unilaterally caused from LNG import price and exchange rate in the long-run. This article has the following policy implications: the adjustment of exchange rate to reduce he risk of LNG import price and the proper securement of base-load share for the long-run stability of SMP.

China is playing more predominant role in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market worldwide and LNG import price is subject to various factors both at home and abroad. Nevertheless, previous studies rarely heed a multiple of factors. A time-varying parameter factor augmented vector auto-regression (TVP-FAVAR) model is adopted to discover the determinants of China's LNG import price and their dynamic impacts from January 2012 to December 2021. According to the findings, market fundamentals have a greater impact on the import price of natural gas in China than overall economic demand, financial considerations, and world oil prices. The primary determinants include domestic gas consumption, consumer confidence and other demand-side information. Then, there are diverse and time-varying spillover effects of the four common determinants on the volatility of China's LNG import price at different intervals and time nodes. The price volatility is more sensitive and long-lasting to domestic natural gas pricing reform than other negative shocks such as the Sino-US trade war and the COVID-19 pandemic. The results in this study further proves the importance of domestic natural gas market liberalization. China ought to do more to support the further marketization of natural gas prices while working harder to guarantee natural gas supplies.

본 연구는 한국경제의 산업연관관계를 나타내는 산업연관표를 기반으로 하여 계산 가능한 일반균형모형을 이용하여 천연가스가격의 10% 상승이 개별 산업의 산출, 국내 판매, 수출 및 수입 등에 미치는 효과를 계산하였다. 천연가스의 수입가격이 10% 증가하면 국내총생산은 약 0.4% 감소하는 것으로 나타나며 국내물가는 약 0.08% 상승하고 소비자 후생 측면에서 국내총생산대비 동등변동은 약 0.27% 감소하는 것으로 계산된다. 천연가스가격 상승은 역시 도시가스부문에 가장 큰 영향을 주어 천연가스 수입 가격의 10% 상승은 도시가스 산출을 약 5.9% 감소시키는 것으로 계산된다. 또한 석유제품에도 약 2.75%의 산출 감소를 가져와 도시가스산업 다음으로 큰 산출 감소를 초래하고 화력부문 산출은 약 0.62% 감소시키고 국내판매도 0.56% 정도 감소시키는 것으로 나타난다. 천연가스가격 상승으로 인한 국내총생산의 변화율과 동일한 변화율을 초래하는 원유가격 상승률을 계산하고 이때의 거시적 효과와 개별 산업의 산출 등에 미치는 효과를 계산하였다. 이러한 비교에서 발견할 수 있는 특징은 국내총생산의 변화율을 동일하게 하는 경우 천연가스가격 상승이 원유가격 상승보다 국내물가를 더 상승시키고 동등변동으로 계산된 소비자 후생을 더 감소시킨다는 것이다.

Seasonal variation of natural gas demand coupled with rigid and stable import pattern of gas represents the characteristic feature of the Korean Liquified Natural Gas(LNG) industry. This attribute has required a huge amount of investment for the construction of storage facility. Thus, to minimize the supply cost, it is legitimate to reduce storage requirement itself. In this study, we combine three alternative methods to deal with the storage requirement to minimize the supply cost. Those are (1) adding additional storage tanks, (2) inducing large firm customers, and (3) constructing gas-turbine self generation facilities. Methodologically, we employ the mixed integer program (MIP) to optimize the system. The model also consider demand and price-setting scheme in separate modules. From the results, it is shown that if alternatives are combined optimally, a number of storage tanks can be reduced substantially compared with the original capacity plan set by the industry authorities. We perform various sensitivity analyses to check the robustness of the results. The methodology presented in this study can be applied to the other physical network industry, such as hydraulics. The empirical results will shed some light on the rationalization of capacity planning of the Korean natural gas industry.
