This paper investigated the preference change of payment terms in international trade along with counteroffer or first offer conditions of the other parties. Studies on trade payment terms have mainly focused on payment term determination factors such as firm size, product price level, country credit rate, etc. We tried to find other factors affecting payment terms choice, during the negotiation process. We applied behavioral economics theories such as 'Status Quo Bias' and 'Anchoring effect' to build our research model. To prove the existence of the above effects, we proceeded with field experiments to the exporting companies in Alibaba.com. Both 'Status Quo Bias' and 'Anchoring effect' were found in the field experiment. Most of the exporting companies preferred traditional payment methods to new payment methods. And an initial request for a low advance payment ratio led to a lower advance payment ratio. Also, the experience of using new payment methods could diminish status quo bias. This paper applied behavioral economics theories and field experiment methodology to the payment term studies in international trades. These attempts could contribute to expanding the diversity of methodology and scope of international trade studies.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to suggest an optimal method by comparing the analysis methods of work environment measurement datasets including left-censored data where one or more measurements are below the limit of detection (LOD). Methods: A computer program was used to generate left-censored datasets for various combinations of censoring rate (1% to 90%) and sample size (30 to 300). For the analysis of the censored data, the simple substitution method (LOD/2), β-substitution method, maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method, Bayesian method, and regression on order statistics (ROS)were all compared. Each method was used to estimate four parameters of the log-normal distribution: (1) geometric mean (GM), (2) geometric standard deviation (GSD), (3) 95th percentile (X95), and (4) arithmetic mean (AM) for the censored dataset. The performance of each method was evaluated using relative bias and relative root mean squared error (rMSE). Results: In the case of the largest sample size (n=300), when the censoring rate was less than 40%, the relative bias and rMSE were small for all five methods. When the censoring rate was large (70%, 90%), the simple substitution method was inappropriate because the relative bias was the largest, regardless of the sample size. When the sample size was small and the censoring rate was large, the Bayesian method, the β-substitution method, and the MLE method showed the smallest relative bias. Conclusions: The accuracy and precision of all methods tended to increase as the sample size was larger and the censoring rate was smaller. The simple substitution method was inappropriate when the censoring rate was high, and the β-substitution method, MLE method, and Bayesian method can be widely applied.

One of the most important problems in the estimation of the parameter of the failure model, is the cost of experimental sampling units, which can be reduced by using any prior information available about ${\theta}$, and devising a two-stage pooling shrunken estimation procedure. We have proposed an estimator of the reliability function (R(t)) of the exponential model using two-stage time censored data when a prior value about the unknown parameter (${\theta}$) is available from the past. To compare the performance of the proposed estimator with the classical estimator, computer intensive calculations for bias, mean squared error, relative efficiency, expected sample size and percentage of the overall sample size saved expressions, were done for varying the constants involved in the proposed estimator (${\tilde{R}}$(t)).

표식율법을 이용하여 어족으 자원량을 추정하는 방법에 대하여는 많은 연구보고가 있다(Ricker, 1948; Schaefer, 1951; Delury, 1958; Nose, 1961). 그런데 표식율법으로 자원미수를 추정할 경우 다음과 같은 몇가지 조건이 수반되어야 편의성이 없는 추정치를 얻을 수 있다. 즉 표식의 탈락이 없으며, 표식어는 위약성과 자연사망에 있어서 비표식어와 차이가 없으며, 가입과 일출이 없는 모집단에서 임의표본이 추출되어야 하며, 표본중의 표식어의 판명이 완전하여야 한다. 본고에서는 연어의 산란친어미수를 표식율볍으로 추정함에 있어서 당면하는 문제점 특히 일출이 있을 경우와 천적으로 인한 표식어의 오판이 있을 경우에 대하여 검토한 결과를 보고한다.

The initial growth mode of Nb on Ag(110) in sub-monolayer region is studied using Scanning Tunneling microscopy. E-beam evaporated Nb is deposited onto the substrate at RT, and STM measurements are carried out at RT and 78K. With Nb being immiscible in bulk Ag, 3D islands formation begins at early stage and no particular ordered structure is found. At very low coverages, however, many interesting phenomena are observed in association with Nb clusters. Small Nb clusters as deposited displays very strong size dependence against atom-manipulation by the STM tip. In addition, the apparent corrugation of clusters below the critical size exhibits dramatic dependence on the imaging bias, disappearing completely over a wide range of the bias. Possible physical mechanism responsible for such behavior will be discussed.

TFT 제조 방법 중 LTPS (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon)는 저온과 저비용 등의 이점으로 인하여 flat panel display 제작에 널리 사용된다. 이동도와 전류 점멸비 등에서 이점을 가지는 ELA(Excimer Laser Annealing)가 널리 사용되고 있지만, 이 방법은 uniformity 등의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이를 극복하기 위한 방법으로 MICC(Metal Induced Capping Crystallization)이 사용되고 있다. 이 방법은 $SiN_x$, $SiO_2$, SiON등의 capping layer를 diffusion barrier로 위치시키고, Ni 등의 금속을 capping layer에 도핑 한 뒤, 다시 한번 열처리를 통하여 a-Si에 Ni을 확산시키킨다. a-Si 층에 도달한 Ni들이 seed로 작용하여 Grain size가 매우 큰 film을 제작할 수 있다. 채널의 grain size가 클 경우 grain boundary에 의한 캐리어 scattering을 줄일 수 있기 때문에 MIC 방법을 사용하였음에도 ELA에 버금가는 소자의 성능과 안정성을 얻을 수있었다. 본 연구에서는 large grain TFT의 Gate bias stress에 따른 소자의 안정성 측정 및 분석에 목표를 두었다.

High dimensional time series is gaining considerable attention in recent years. The sparse vector heterogeneous autoregressive (VHAR) model proposed by Baek and Park (2020) uses adaptive lasso and debiasing procedure in estimation, and showed superb forecasting performance in realized volatilities. This paper extends the sparse VHAR model by considering non-convex penalties such as SCAD and MCP for possible bias reduction from their penalty design. Finite sample performances of three estimation methods are compared through Monte Carlo simulation. Our study shows first that taking into cross-sectional correlations reduces bias. Second, nonconvex penalties performs better when the sample size is small. On the other hand, the adaptive lasso with debiasing performs well as sample size increases. Also, empirical analysis based on 20 multinational realized volatilities is provided.

Purpose: This meta-analysis aimed to analyze to the effects of aquatic exercise programs in children with cerebral palsy and identify directions for future research. Methods: A systematic search based on the PRISMA guidelines was undertaken for studies conducted between 2006 and 2018 on aquatic exercise programs in children with cerebral palsy. A total of 10 studies were selected according to the inclusion criteria. The methodological quality was assessed using the Risk of Bias Tool for Randomized Controlled Trials (RoB) and Risk-of-Bias Assessment Tool for Non-randomized Studies (RoBANS). A meta-analysis software (CMA 3.0) was used to calculate the mean effect size, effect size by intervention (Halliwick and Watsu Aquatic methods), and effect size by outcome. Results: The mean effect size was 0.457. The effect size by intervention was largest for the Halliwick method, followed by the Watsu method. The effect size by outcome was largest for range of motion, followed by the gross motor function measure, the Pediatric Berg Balance Scale, and the Modified Ashworth Scale. Meta-regression analysis showed effect size increased when sample size, number of sessions, and length of sessions increased. Conclusion: The results show that aquatic exercise programs have a positive effect on children with cerebral palsy. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a guideline that recommends the appropriate intervention and the identifies the direction of future studies on aquatic exercise programs.

가상가치평가법은 비시장재 가치평가를 위한 중요한 도구이나 가상편의가 존재할 수 있어 그 유효성에 대한 논쟁이 지속되어 왔다. 그러나 가상가치평가 응답자가 그 상황을 완전히 가상적이라고 믿지 않을 수 있는데, 이러한 경우 결과수렴성이 존재한다고 한다. 결과수렴성이 충분히 크다면 추정된 가치가 가상편의로부터 자유로울 수 있다는 점이 최근 해외 연구에 의해 제시되었다. 본 연구에서는 한국 대학생을 대상으로 가상가치평가법으로 추정된 기부금 지불용의액의 결과수렴성이 상대적으로 높은 집단과 낮은 집단의 가상편의를 실험을 통해 비교분석한다. 본 연구의 결과는 결과수렴성이 상대적으로 높은 집단의 가상편의 존재 확률 및 크기가 모두 유의하게 낮아, 결과수렴성이 가상가치평가법의 가상편의를 결정짓는 중요한 요인임을 보여준다. 이러한 결과는 환경정책 등 실제 정책과 관련하여 수행되는 가상가치평가법의 경우 가상편의로부터 자유로울 수 있는 가능성을 제시해 준다는 점에서 그 중요한 정책적 함의를 가지므로, 필드실험 등을 통해 결과수렴성과 가상편의의 관계를 확인해 보는 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

서로 다른 길이비를 갖는 세 종류의 유리 직물 복합재료(평직, 균형능직, 비균형능직)의 면내 전단 물성 평가를 위해 편향인장 시험을 실시하였다. 직물 복합재료의 전단각을 결정하기 위하여 인장 변형량과 직물의 크기에 기인한 이론식, 직접측정법 및 이미지 분석법등을 이용하여 서로의 장단점을 비교하여 보았으며, 편향 인장 시험의 기하구조를 이용하여 유도된 식을 통해 면내 전단력을 계산하였다. 또한 트렐리스 시험(trellis-frame test)에 의한 결과와의 비교를 통해 편향 인장 시험에 의한 전단 물성 측정법의 정확도를 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 이론식에 의한 전단각 계산법은 전단각이 30도 이내일 경우에 이미지를 통한 직접 측정의 결과와 유사하였으며, 면내 전단력은 평직이나 균형 능직과 같은 등방형 직물의 경우에만 측정 샘플의 길이비에 무관한 균일한 결과를 보였다. 또한 편향 인장 시험과 트렐리스 시험 모두 비등방성이 큰 직물에 대한 전단 평가를 수행하는 데 있어서 많은 편차를 나타내었다.
