This paper studies the long-run behavior of relative price dispersion among cities in Korea with a special emphasis on heterogeneous transitional patterns of price level dynamics. Formal statistical tests indicate considerable evidence for rejecting the null of relative price level convergence among the majority of cities over the sample period of 1985-2015. The analysis of gravity model suggests that the effect of transportation costs on intercity price level differentials is limited, while other socioeconomic factors, such as income, input factor prices, demographic structure, and housing price growth, play key roles in accounting for persistent regional price level disparities. Individual price levels are found to be better explained by a multiple-component model, and the deviations from PPP may be attributed to distinct stochastic common trends that are characterized by income and demographic structure.

Clothing consumption expenditure (UX) data of Korean consumers during the period of 1965 to 1993 were analyzed by time series analysis technique. According to the results of regression analysis, current income and UX of the year before showed most significant influences on the current UX. This means that the absolute and permanent income hypotheses can be accepted in case of clothing expenditures. However the effect of income decreased as the economy developed. The relative price of clothing had weak or no influence on clothing expenditures. It was also found out that CSX of the year before, the change of income, relative price of clothing ware the factors that affected clothing expenditures. From the estimation of Houthakker-Taylor state adjustment model, a negative stock coefficient was obtained. That is, clothing is subject to an inventor effect and Korean consumers regard clothing as one of the durable goods. To define whether clothing is a "luxury" or a "necessity", income and relative price elasticity of clothing expenditures were estimated. Income elasticity of clothing is slightly below 1.0 in case of national aggregate expenditures, and slightly above 1.0 in case of urban consumers' expenditures. Income elasticity has declined over time. Meanwhile the coefficient of price elasticity is not significant, indicating that the relative price of clothing have little connection with clothing expenditure.lothing expenditure.

Purpose: There is still lack of guidance for merchants toward price discount presentations (absolute/relative), especially for consumers in different purchase contexts. Based on the general evaluability theory, this study investigates consumers' preferences for the presentation of discounts in various contexts through experiments. Research design, data and methodology: The relationship between discount presentation and consumers' preference is investigated in Study 1 using a two-factor between-subject design of 2 (purchase type: material vs. experiential) ×2 (discount type: absolute vs. relative). The Moderating effect of thinking mode has been examined in Study 2 via a multi-factor intergroup design of 2 (purchase type: material vs. experiential) ×2 (discount type: absolute vs. relative) ×2 (cognitive load: high vs. low). One-way ANOVA and planned contrast have been performed for analysis. Results: Experiment 1 reveals that consumers prefer absolute discounts rather than relative discounts when in material purchases. However, when in experiential purchases, they are willing to choose relative discounts. Experiment 2 verifies the boundary conditions of matching effect and illustrates the generation of matching effect is determined by thinking mode. Conclusions: Our study enriches the theories of purchase type and thinking mode. Simultaneously, the results provide practical guidance for merchants to formulate the discount presentation and distribution pricing strategies.

The two competing underlying mechanisms of anchoring, anchoring-and-adjustment and selective accessibility, have very different managerial implications for the effect of price as an anchor on willingness-to-pay (WTP). To clarify their relative roles in inducing the anchoring effect, path analysis modeling in which two paths are included in a single model was utilized. The first path proceeds directly from anchor price to WTP, representing anchor-and-adjustment. The second path, representing selective accessibility, includes a mediator formed by various explanatory variables of WTP. The results consistently show that only the direct path, anchoring-and-adjustment, is significant. The results also show that the level of available product information has no significant moderation effect on both of the paths, which implies the robustness of the result with respect to information level.

This paper examines the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on the Philippine stock exchange, peso-dollar rate and retail price of diesel using robust least squares regression and vector autoregression (VAR). The robust least squares regression using MM-estimation method concluded that COVID-19 daily infection has negative and statistically significant effect on the Philippine stock exchange index, peso-dollar exchange rate and retail pump price of diesel. This is consistent with the results of correlation diagnostics. As for the VAR model, the lag values of the independent variable disclose significance in explaining the Philippine stock exchange index, peso-dollar exchange rate and retail pump price of diesel. Moreover, in the short run, the impulse response function confirmed relative effect of COVID-19 daily infections and the variance decomposition divulge that COVID-19 daily infections have accounted for only minor portion in explaining fluctuations of the Philippine stock exchange index, peso-dollar exchange and retail pump price of diesel. In the long term, the influence levels off. The Granger causality test suggests that COVID-19 daily infections cause changes in the Philippine stock exchange index and peso-dollar exchange rate in the short run. However, COVID-19 infection has no causal link with retail pump price of diesel.

We review research using departures from the law of one price to measure the advent of globalization in Europe and Asia. In an application, we then study the role of distance and time in statistically explaining price dispersion across 32 Swedish towns for 19 commodities from 1732 to 1914. The resulting large number of relative prices (502,689) allows precise estimation of distance and time effects, and their interaction. We find an effect of distance that declines significantly over time, beginning in the 18th century, well before the arrival of canals, the telegraph, or the railway.

전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 물가(物價)를 안정(安定)시킬 뿐만 아니라 서민생활의 부담을 덜어줌으로써 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에 기여하는 것처럼 이해되고 있으나 과연 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)가 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에 기여하는 것인가. 본(本) 논문(論文)에서는 우리나라 전력요금변화(電力料金變化)의 소득분배효과(所得分配效果) 측면(側面)을 좀 더 구체적으로 검토해 보았다. 전력요금변화(電力料金變化)는 세가지 경로를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 첫째는 전력요금(電力料金) 가격구조(價格構造)를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 우리나라 전력요금구조(電力料金構造)는 가정용(家庭用) 전력요금(電力料金)이 산업용(産業用) 전력요금(電力料金)보다 더 높기 때문에 일반서민계층(一般庶民階層)으로부터 요금(料金)을 징수하여 산업자본가(産業資本家)들을 보조해주는 결과(結果)가 되고 있어 전력요금구조(電力料金構造) 자체(自體)는 소득분배(所得分配)에 역진적(逆進的)이라고 할 수 있다. 둘째는 가계전력(家計電力) 소비지출(消費支出)의 변화(變化)를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향(影響)을 미치게 된다. 가계소득계층별(家計所得階層別) 전력비지출(電力費支出) 비중(比重)은 저소득계층(低所得階層)이 상대적으로 더 큰 것으로 나타나고 있어 동일률(同一率)의 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 저소득계층(低所得階層)에게 상대적으로 많은 절감효과(節減效果)를 유발(誘發)하게 되어 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에 도움이 된다. 그러나 가계소득(家計所得) 중 전력비지출(電力費支出) 비중(比重)이 불과 1~2%에 머물고 있기 때문에 그로 인한 소득분배(所得分配) 개선효과(改善效果)는 아주 미미하다. 셋째는 기업(企業)의 원가절감(原價節減)과 이로 인한 당기순이익(當期純利益) 증가(增加)를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 당기순이익(當期純利益)이 증가(增加)될 때 일차적인 혜택을 보는 계층(階層)은 산업자본가(産業資本家)들이며 이들은 대체로 고소득계층(高所得階層)에 속한다. 따라서 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 고소득(高所得) 산업자본가(産業資本家) 계층(階層)의 소득(所得)을 증대(增大)시키는 측면(側面)에서는 계층간(階層間)의 소득격차(所得隔差)를 심화시키게 된다. 전력요금(電力料金)이 10% 인하(引下)될 경우를 가정하여 소득분배효과(所得分配效果)를 계량적(計量的)으로 분석해 본 결과 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 전력비지출(電力費支出) 절감(節減)을 통하여 저소득계층(低所得階層)의 가처분소득(可處分所得)을 증대(增大)시켜 주는 효과가 있는 것은 사실이다. 그러나 기업(企業)의 당기순이익(當期純利益)을 급격히 증가(增加)시켜 고소득계층(高所得階層)의 소득(所得)을 증대(增大)시켜 주는 결과를 가져오게 됨으로써 전체적으로는 계층간(階層間)의 소득격차(所得隔差)를 오히려 심화시키는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 따라서 국민경제적(國民經濟的) 차원(次元)에서의 소득분배(所得分配)는 별로 개선(改善)되지 못하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 물론 전력요금(電力料金)의 조정에 있어서 소득분배(所得分配) 문제(問題)를 가장 우선적으로 고려하여야 한다는 의미는 아니다. 전력요금조정(電力料金調整)은 물가안정(物價安定), 수출산업(輸出産業) 경쟁력(競爭力) 강화(强化), 에너지소비절약 등 여러가지 국민경제적(國民經濟的) 요소(要素)들을 고려하여 결정(決定)되고 있다. 다만 물가안정(物價安定)이나 수출산업지원(輸出産業支援)을 위하여 전력요금(電力料金)을 인하(引下)하는 경우에도 현행가격체계(現行價格體系)와 소비구조하(消費構造下)에서는 그것이 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에는 전혀 도움을 주지 못하고 오히려 소득분배상태(所得分配狀態)를 악화시키고 있음을 유의할 필요가 있다.

This study analyzed the impact of FTA tariff elimination on the export prices for Norwegian fresh and chilled salmon, of which Korean import has significantly increased since the Korea-EFTA FTA implementation. Korea's fresh and chilled salmon market is almost monopolized by Norway, and Korea's price level is higher than other countries, so it is highly likely that price discrimination occurs. This study theoretically explained that exporters could adjust their prices by market power when tariffs are eliminated in imperfectly competitive markets. And the empirical analysis provided evidence that the exporters have made price adjustments since the FTA took effect, and similar results were found in the relative price comparison with trade statistics and Nasdaq Salmon Index. Therefore, in order to increase consumer welfare in Korean salmon market, it is required to transform the monopolistic market structure into a competitive one.
