Objectives: Economic hardship has a serious impact on adolescents' mental health. The financial impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was more severe for low-income families, and this also impacted adolescents. This study aimed to examine the associations of economic deterioration (ED) caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and low socioeconomic status (SES) with adolescents' suicidal behaviors. Methods: This study analyzed data from the 2020 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, which included 54 948 middle and high school students. Odds ratios (ORs) of suicidal ideation, suicidal planning, and suicide attempts related to ED and SES were calculated using multivariable logistic regression. We calculated relative excess risks due to interaction to assess additive interactions. Results: The ORs for suicidal ideation, suicidal planning, and suicide attempts related to combined severe ED and low SES were 3.64 (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.13 to 4.23), 3.88 (95% CI, 3.09 to 4.88), and 4.27 (95% CI, 3.21 to 5.69), respectively. Conclusions: ED and low SES were significantly associated with suicidal behaviors in adolescents. Although no significant additive interaction was found, the ORs related to suicidal ideation, suicidal planning, and suicide attempts were highest among adolescents from low-income families with severe ED. Special attention is needed for this group, considering the increased impact of economic inequality due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This research was conducted to check the impact of factors related to the small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) on the economic growth in the Southeast region of Vietnam, over the years from 1996-2019. This paper applies a combination of FEM, DKSE, GMM, and RIDGE-FEM regression methods to estimate the influence of independent variables on the economic growth of the whole Southeast region with the panel data collected from GSO; and applying the OLS regression model for each province. The study finds that all variables have a statistically significant positive impact on the economic growth of the study area. Accordingly, the importance of the variables is in the following order: (1) the proportion of workers by professional and technical qualification (SMEH), (2) the number of vocational training schools (LnTSCH), and educational level of workers (LnSchool), (3) the number of SME enterprises (LnSME); (4) The average number of years in the schooling of employees in the enterprise (LnSchool); (5) Enterprise capital (LnCAP); and (6) the average number of employees of SME (LnSMER). The research results also show that factors related to the quality of labor resources have a more positive influence on growth than both the labor size and financial capital of SMEs.

The Korean government is actively promoting the hydrogen industry as a key driver of economic growth. This commitment is evident in the 2019 hydrogen economy activation roadmap and the 2021 basic plan for hydrogen economy implementation. This study quantitatively analyzes the economic impact of the hydrogen economy using input-output analysis based on the Bank of Korea's 2019 input-output table, projecting its size by 2050. Four parts dealt with production-inducing, value-added creation, employment-inducing, and wage-inducing based on a demand-driven model. The results reveal that transportation had the most remarkable economic effect throughout the hydrogen economy, and production was the least. The hydrogen economy is projected to reach 71.2 trillion won by 2050.

본 논문은 농업부문 에너지 기본정책으로 시행되고 있는 정부의 면세유 공급정책의 경제적 파급효과를 측정한 내용을 담고 있다. 1986년부터 농가의 영농활동 지원을 위해 시행되어온 면세유 공급정책은 최근 국제유가가 급등함에 따라 확대 공급에 대한 농가의 요구가 높아지고 있는 상황이다. 그러나 면세유의 공급량이 최근 지속해서 감소하고 있고, 더욱이 산업통상자원부는 면세유 일몰정책의 추진을 지속해서 요구하고 있는 실정이다. 이와 같이, 정부의 농업부문 면세유 공급정책에 대한 확대 및 축소의 상반된 요구가 고조되고 있는 상황에서, 면세유 공급의 경제적 효과를 파악하여, 농업용 면세유의 경제적 기여도와 역할을 규명할 필요가 있다. 이 연구는 계량경제학적 방법을 이용하여 면세유 공급의 경제적 효과를 계측한 과정과 결과를 소개하고 있다. 분석결과, 농업용 면세유가 5년에 걸쳐 단계적으로 철폐되는 경우, 5년차 되는 해에 농업부문 GDP는 3조 1,950억원 감소하고, 농산물 가격은 26.6 포인트 상승하는 것으로 나타났다.

Prior literature has posited that the sport industry has been effective method to drive the economic growth. Given the rationale, this study sets China as a research object with a quarterly data from the first quarter of 2003 to the fourth quarter of 2017 to explore how the sport industry affects economic growth. This study employed Johansen cointegration test and dynamic ordinary least squares as methods for an empirical analysis. The input of sport industry, the labor input, the capital input, and the economic growth are used as research variables. The results show that there is a long-run relationship among them. Johansen cointegration test's estimation indicated that 1% increase in the input of sport industry will lead to 0.064% increase in economic growth. Dynamic ordinary least squares' estimation showed that whenever in the one lead, in the one lag and in the present period, the input of sport industry always poses a positive effect on economic growth. Labor input also has a positive effect on economic growth. The capital input has a negative effect on economic growth. Finally, even though the input of sport industry has a positive effect on economic growth, its impact on economic growth is relative weak.

대학은 교육과 연구라는 본연의 목적과 함께 지역사회의 지속가능한 발전에 대한 기여가 요구된다. 최근 대학의 지속가능성 측정도구인 사회경제적 영향(Economic and Social Impact: ESI)이 강조되고 있으나, 이에 관한 연구는 매우 미흡하다. 따라서 본 연구는 기존의 대학의 ESI 지표를 고찰하여 K대학에 적용한 ESI 개발사례를 소개하였다. 본 연구의 방법은 ESI 문헌조사, 국내외 사례분석 및 경제적 파급효과 분석을 수행하였고, K대학에 적용한 사례를 고찰하였다. 연구 결과 수요와 공급 측면의 효과를 모두 포함한 ESI 지표를 개발하였고, 대학의 영향력과 지역사회에 미치는 영향력을 구분한 ESI 산출방법을 제안함으로써 대학이 어떻게 ESI를 측정하고 이를 활용할 수 있는지를 탐색한 사례라는데 그 의의를 가진다고 할 수 있다. 향후 연구는 대학의 ESI 산출 방법론의 고도화, 대학에 적절한 승수개발, ESI 종합 지수화가 필요하다.

Objective: We determined the risk factors limiting first service conception (FSC) rate in dairy cows and their economic impact. Methods: Data were collected from 790 lactations regarding cow parity, peri- and postpartum disorders, body condition score (BCS), reproductive performance, and expenses associated with reproductive management (treatment, culling, and others). Initially, we identified the risk factors limiting FSC rate in dairy cows. Various biological and environmental factors, such as herd, cow parity, BCS at 1 month postpartum and first artificial insemination (AI), resumption of cyclicity within 1 month of calving, year, AI season, insemination at detected estrus or timed AI, peri- and postpartum disorders, and calving to first AI interval, were evaluated. Next, we evaluated the economic impact of the success or failure of FSC by comparing the expense associated with reproductive management until conception between cows that did or did not conceive at their first service. Results: Cows with BCS <3.0 had a lower probability of conceiving at first insemination (odds ratio [OR] = 0.64, p<0.05) than cows with $BCS{\geq}3.0$. Cows inseminated during summer were less likely to conceive (OR = 0.44, p<0.001) than cows inseminated during spring. Cows with peri- or postpartum disorders were less likely to conceive (OR = 0.55, p<0.001) than cows without disorders. Survival curves generated using MedCalc showed an 81 day extension in the mean interval between calving and conception in cows that failed to conceive over those that did conceive at first insemination. Cows failing conceive required additional expenditure on reproductive treatment ($55.40) and other management ($567.00) than cows that conceived at first insemination. Conclusion: Lower BCS, hot weather at first insemination, and peri- and postpartum disorders are risk factors limiting FSC, which result in an economic loss of $622.40 per dairy cow.

바이오플라스틱은 탄소중립적이며 생분해가 가능하다는 점에서 기존 플라스틱의 대체재로 주목받고 있다. 이 연구는 일국 축차동태 연산가능일반균형 모형을 사용하여 석유 기반 플라스틱산업 규제와 바이오플라스틱산업 육성에 따른 경제적 환경적 파급효과를 추정하였다. 분석결과, 플라스틱산업 규제 시 온실가스 감축과 폐기물 감소 효과가 나타나 긍정적인 환경적 파급효과가 발생한 반면, GDP는 감소하여 경제적으로는 부정적인 파급효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 플라스틱산업 규제와 바이오플라스틱산업 육성이 동시에 이루어지는 경우, 플라스틱 산업 규제만 시행하는 시나리오와 비교하여 유사한 수준의 온실가스 감축과 폐기물 감소효과가 발생했으나 바이오플라스틱산업 생산 확대가 기존의 경제적 손실을 상쇄시켜 GDP를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 바이오플라스틱 생산 확대를 통해 석유 기반 플라스틱을 대체해 나간다면 온실가스 배출 및 플라스틱 폐기물 발생과 같은 환경문제를 개선하면서 경제성장을 가능하게 하는 탈동조화(decoupling)에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.

This article aims to measure the impact of economic growth and urbanization on poverty reduction in Vietnam, and verify whether economic growth and urbanization will help reduce poverty rates. Data for this study are tabular data related to growth, urbanization and poverty at the provincial level for the period of nine years, from 2006 to 2014 provided by the Vietnam General Statistics Office and the Vietnam General Department of Customs. The level of economic growth and urbanization mentioned in the study is reflected in such indicators as GDP value, exports value, imports value, urbanization rate and employment rate. The authors used logistic regression models with fixed-effects and logistic regression models with random effects. With 5% confidence level tested by the Chi-Square test of Hausman trial with the fixed-effect model, research results show that: (1) factors with significant negative impact on the poverty rate include imports value, urbanization rate and, employment rate; (2) factors that do not affect the poverty rate include exports value and GDP value. Based on the research results, this study proposes a number of policy recommendations to help promote economic growth, to sustain the urbanization process, and to contribute directly and positively to poverty reduction in Vietnam.

We developed the logical methods to analyze economic impacts of standardization and cleared up effects of performing KS in micro and macro aspects. This study is performed through analysing foreign studies and results from surveys. The advanced methods performing standardization as a form of 'Korean industrial standards' are suggested here, which are based on results of this study. The major consequences of this study are followings. The micro economic impact is that each company gets 604.5 millions won a year through performing KS A and F(discount rate 4.5%) and 1.46 trillions won is the macro economic impact through performing total KS A and F, which comes to 0.245% of GDP.
