외부비용 내부화와 타 발전연료원과의 형평성 차원에서 원전에 대한 과세논의가 꾸준히 제기되어 왔다. 그러나 이들 논의 대부분은 정책공급자 내지 입안자 중심으로 이루어지고 있어 과세 방식에 대한 국민 수용성을 제대로 반영하지 못한다는 한계가 존재한다. 본 연구는 원전 신규 과세 개편과 관련된 핵심 쟁점 사항을 중심으로 선택실험법을 활용하여 정책소비자가 선호하는 과세 방안을 검토하였다. 일반시민을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 바탕으로 선택실험법에서의 지불의사액 추정결과 원자력 연료(2.19원/kWh), 방사성폐기물(1.46원/kWh), 원전 시설규모(-3.65원/kWh)의 순으로, 응답자들은 원자력 연료에 대한 과세를 다른 대안보다 상대적으로 더 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 재원 활용방식에 대한 지불의사액은 국가경제 활성화 재원(6.39원/kWh)과 기후위기대응 재원(6.12원/kWh)보다 근소하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 결과는 원전 과세의 설계는 과세 대상 보다는 재원 활용방식에 더 초점을 맞출 필요가 있음을 시사한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to estimate incomes and costs of the medical clinics by using secondary data. Methodology: The medical incomes and costs were estimated from 405 clinics operated by sole practitioner providing out-patient services among all clinics subject to the Medical Cost Survey on National Health Insurance Patients in 2017, excluding dental clinics and oriental medical clinics. The incomes and costs of the medical clinics were reflected with incomes and costs of health insurance benefits and were calculated by types of medical services (i.e., basic care, surgery, general treatment, functional test, specimen test and imaging test). The costs were classified as follows: labor costs, equipment costs, material costs and overhead costs. Secondary data was used to estimate the incomes and costs of the medical clinics. For allocation bases for costs for each type of the medical service, the ratio of revenue from health insurance benefits by types of medical services was applied. However, labor costs were calculated with the activity ratio by types of medical services and occupations, using clinical expert panel data. Finding: The percentage of health insurance income for all medical income was 73.1%. The health insurance cost per clinic was 401,864 thousand won. Labor cost accounted for the largest portion of the health insurance income was 191,229 thousand won (47.6%), followed by management cost was 170,018 thousand won (42.3%), materials cost was 35,434 thousand won (8.8%), and equipment costs was 5,183 thousand won (1.3%). Practical Implications: This study suggests a method of estimating incomes and costs of medical clinic services by using secondary data. It could efficiently provide incomes and costs to assess an appropriate level of the health insurance fee to the clinics.

고갈자원 사용의 동태적 효율성 여부를 검증하기 위해서는 미채굴된 자원의 암묵가격을 추정해야 하는데 기존 연구에서는 자원산업의 한계수입과 한계비용의 차이로 측정하거나 자원채굴량을 준고정시킨 제약비용함수를 추정하여 자원채굴량으로 편미분함으로써 도출하는 방식을 사용하였다. 그러나 이들 방법들은 채굴 투입요소인 자본의 비가단성으로 인하여 일관성이 결여된 추정치가 도출될 개연성, 시장의 독점력에 따라 변하는 한계수입의 가변성 문제와, 불완전한 재화 및 요소시장, 정부규제 등이 존재하는 현실적 상황에서 제약비용함수를 이용할 경우 전제 조건인 생산비용의 최소화가 달성되지 못함으로써 야기될 수 있는 분석결과의 신뢰성 문제 등을 안고 있다. 기존 선행연구의 방법론적 한계점들을 인식하여 본 연구에서는 좀더 일반적이고 현실적 상황에서 고갈자원 사용의 동태적 효율성 여부를 검증할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. Shephard (1970)의 투입물거리함수를 실증적 모형의 이론적 틀로 활용함으로써 생산요소의 투입량과 최종재화의 산출량에 대한 정보만으로 추정이 가능하고, 생산비용 최소화의 극히 제한적인 상황을 전제하지 않으며, 특히 선형계획기법을 적용함으로써 시계열자료나 합동자료로 회귀 추정할 경우 발생할 수 있는 오차항의 자기상관 문제에 초연할 수 있다. 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%의 고정 할인율 폭과 실질 이자율의 25%, 50%,100%, 200%, 400%로 산정한 변동할인율을 각각 적용하여 1970년~1993닐 기간 동안 국내 무연탄 채굴의 동태적 효율성 여부를 조사한 결과 고정할인율과 변동할인율 모두에 대해서 국내 무연탄의 세대간 효율적 사용은 이루어지지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to perform an operating room nursing activities analysis and estimate nursing intensity of each nursing activity based on the Relative Value Scale (RVS). Methods: The methodology for this study of RVS was based on the work of Hsiao et al. The first stage was to identify nursing activities and the second to measure intensity of nursing activities including technical skill, mental effort, and stress. Results: Calculation of the RVS for 99 nursing practices showed a score range from 300.00 to 1337.78. CS operation assistant, OS operation assistant, and obtaining certification had high nursing intensity. Surgical hand washing, putting on surgical gowns, surgical gloves and surgical caps and mask had low nursing intensity. Conclusion: The activities of operating room are not compensated separately but reimbursement is usually included in physician fees. In the future, an estimation of nursing cost should show the nursing contribution rate to total operation revenue.

The structural balance is obtained by neutralizing the impact of economic cycles on the actual balance. It is often used as an indicator of the long-term stability of government finance and as a measure of fiscal stance. Many countries nowadays produce and report the estimates of their structural balances regularly, and the IMF recently advised the Korean government to adopt this practice for better fiscal transparency. This paper surveys the methodologies employed by the OECD secretariat and the IMF to estimate structural balances and apply them to the Korean data. It then computes the fiscal impulse indicator (FI) and suggests a decomposition of FI into the changes in structural expenditures and revenues. In addition, primary and operational balances are estimated. The estimated series of structural balances, one by the OECD methodology and the other by the IMF, show no sizable difference from each other. These series also follow the actual series of budget balance quite closely. The latter characteristic stems from two factors, namely the rather small GDP gap and the rather small size of the tax revenue as a share of GDP. The impulse indicator estimated for the last three decades indicates that the fiscal stance in Korea contributed to smoothing the economic cycles in about half of the times. In particular, the fiscal tightening in the early 1980s to reduce inflation resulted in a pro-cyclical movement in fiscal stance as did the expansionary policy in the early 1990s. The overall performance, however, is not bad when compared with those of other countries.

This study begins with a question of what spatial impact international trade policy would have following the Uruguay Round, particularly focusing on agricultural trade liberalization in Korea. Based upon the neoclassical urban economic model, it first identifies the channel in which agricultural market opening can ultimately affect both rural and urban are as; $\circled1$ Free trade will depress domestic price of agricultural products, $\circled2$ which will in turn depreciate agricultural land price. $\circled3$ The decrease in marginal supply cost for urban land will then facilitate urban sprawl, provided that the government relaxes restrictions on urban-rural land conversion. Theoretical analysis is further refined by empirical considerations that distinguish agricultural land value solely for production purpose from that for future urban, uses, and that distinguish the urbanization effect caused by the fall in the supply cost of urban land from that caused by the existing high level of demand. Utilizing the estimate of bid-price for paddy field derived from the revenue-cost relationship of rice production, simulation results show that the urban-rural boundary under trade liberalization can expand outward up to 70-85km radius in the Seoul metropolitan area, suggesting the emergency of a metropolis or even a megalopolis which extends from Seoul to the central part of the country. Since the geographic extent of urbanization effect can vary depending upon the urban spatial structure, however, it is recommended that the redevelopment option in the built - up area should always be tied up with the issue of whether to deregulate rural-to-urban land conversion.

For rebuilding and managing fish stocks and fisheries, the biological and socioeconomic evaluations on fisheries management regulations are important. This study aimed to estimate the economic effectiveness of different mesh sizes in the yellow croaker gillnet fishery. In particular, by comparing economic effects of mesh sizes, 50mm and 52mm, it aimed to provide the economic validity for increasing mesh sizes. Analytical results showed that the fishing revenue was higher in the vessels using a mesh size over 52mm than that in the vessels using a mesh size less than 50mm. In addition, the effect of fishing cost reduction was also larger in the vessels using a mesh size over 52mm than that in the vessels using a mesh size less than 50mm.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the magnitude of patient's actual cost-sharing for hospital services in the National Health Insurance which has been estimated with only a few hospitals or limited number of patients. Also we aimed at analysis of factors influencing the magnitude. Sources of analyzed data were two databases. 1997 medical benefits record of the National Federation of Medical Insurance and 1997 Statistics for Hospital Management from the Korea Institute of Health Services Management(KIHM). We merged two databases and related records for 224 hospitals. based on the identification details of each hospital. The average percent of patients' cost-sharing was 51.7% of total hospital revenues from the insurance. with 40.3% of revenue in inpatient and 67.4% in outpatient. respectively. The contributing hospital factors to the magnitude of cost-sharing were size of hospitals. teaching status. location. number of employed physicians. etc. Larger and university hospital. urban location. and with more physicians were positively correlated with higher level of cost-sharing. Additionally, the higher the expenses of inpatient's treatment was, the higher the size of patient's cost-sharing was. These findings suggest that present level of patients' cost-sharing is quitely high and it is urgent to reduce the patient's cost-sharing to the reasonable level. It would be necessary to extend the coverage of insurance benefits and to develop policies focusing on larger hospitals and inpatient services.

Objectives : This paper analysed the alternative methods of calculating conversion factor for oriental medicine in the National Health Insurance and estimated the conversion factor(reimbursing price level) of the oriental medical services, based on health insurance claims data and macro economic data. Methods : Comparing cost accounting method, SGR model, and index model to estimate conversion factor in the national health insurance, six empirical models were derived depending on the scope of revenue considered in financial indicators. Classifications of data and sources used in the analysis were identified as officially released by the government. Results and Conclusion : Cost accounting analysis and SGR model showed a two digit decrease in the physician fee schedule of oriental medical services in the national health insurance, while index model indicated a positive increase in the fee reimbursed. As expected, SGR model measured an overall trend of health expenditures rather than an individual financial status of medical institutions, and index model properly estimated the level of payments to oriental medical doctors. Upon a declining share of health expenditures on oriental medicine, a global budget system fixed to a flat rate of total budget could be an opportunity as well as a challenge.
