The global economy has been very difficult due to the recent impact of COVID-19. Korea is also pushing for strong quarantine policies such as K- quarantine and social distancing, but the economy is hardly recovering. In particular, the economic situation began to change rapidly depending on the export and domestic market, the public's interest in the economy increased, and companies became more sensitive. In order to estimate this rapidly changing economic situation, major advanced countries have also developed models that can periodically monitor the economy at the government level. Through this, by periodically reporting the economic trends, the public and companies can be aware of the economic trends to some extent. This study analyzed the cases of weekly business trends in advanced countries and developed a model of weekly economic activity suitable for Korea. To verify this, indices closely related to the economy such as mobility, industrial activity, face-to-face consumption, and psychology were discovered and estimated. As a result of the study, the weekly economic activity index was judged to be very useful in capturing short-term real economic activity. In the future, in order to secure the robustness and stability of the index and to increase the reflection of reality, model improvement and parameter estimation should be performed regularly.

The population of this study is 8 sharia banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2014-2018. The result of the study showed that zakat disclosure significantly affected financial performance. Moreover, ethical values that were proxied by CSR disclosure did not significantly affect financial performance. The limitation of the study is the limited number of the sample; therefore, it is expected that the future research adds other sharia financial entities and adds the dimension of management, sustainability, product, and the environment as benchmarks of ethical values. The originality of this study offers an additional explanation of the relationship between ethical values and performance by investigating zakat and CSR disclosure which is a unique factor in Indonesia.

Chamber of commerce and industry plays important role for development of business community and creating vibrant competition. Present paper compares chambers operations in Bangladesh, especially, Sylhet Chamber of Commerce and Industry(SCCI) by reviewing global models of chambers practices. The study identifies important gaps between international standards and Bangladesh practices. Mostly practiced chambers model in the world are: Continental Model, Anglo-Saxon Model and Mixed model or Asian model. Like other Asian countries, chambers in Bangladesh including SCCI, have been following Mixed Model. The empirical study found that SCCI is performing different developmental functions like accumulating members, collecting revenue, fulfilling corporate social responsibility and providing business development services to its members and business community. The notable constraining factors of SCCI operations are: short term orientation in assembling members, limited functional activities, lack of creative endeavors in diversifying services, linkage between SCCI and academic institutions, poor research involvement etc. The necessary suggestions for improvement of chambers performance include adoption of creative measures in various operations, providing training to the members, assisting entrepreneurs in obtaining industrial finance and extending support in the establishment of specialized industrial zone for attaining long term developmental objectives.

소셜미디어의 유형이 다양해지면서 소셜미디어를 활용하여 소비자의 구매 결정을 유도하기 위해서는, 소셜미디어에 대한 유형별 이해와 좀 더 세분화된 전략 도출이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 소셜미디어를 표현형 소셜미디어와 관계 및 공유형 소셜미디어 두 가지 유형으로 분류하고, 소비자 구매 결정과 유형별 소셜미디어 언급량 간의 상호 영향력에 대해 살펴보았다. 구체적으로, 서울시 공유 자전거인 따릉이 데이터와 소셜미디어 상에서 해당 공유 자전거의 일별 언급량 데이터를 활용하였으며, 외생변수 벡터 자기회귀 모형(VARX)을 적용해서 실증적으로 검증하였다. 분석 결과, 표현형 소셜미디어 언급량 증가는 신규 가입과 대여 건수 모두에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 반면, 관계 및 공유형 소셜미디어는 공유 자전거의 신규 가입에는 오히려 부정적인 영향을 주고 대여 건수 증가에는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 신규 가입자는 두 유형의 소셜미디어 내 제품 언급량 증가에 긍정적인 영향을 끼치는 반면, 대여 건수는 유형에 상관없이 소셜미디어 내의 제품 언급량에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못했다. 본 연구의 결과는 신규 가입과 구매를 유도하기 위한 세분화된 유형별 소셜미디어 전략 도출에 활용될 수 있으며, 최근 급성장하고 있는 공유 경제 산업 내의 소셜미디어 마케팅 전략 수립에도 유용한 이론적, 실무적 시사점을 제공할 것으로 기대한다.

The aim of this research is to use a conceptual model to experimentally evaluate the mediating impact of government financial and training support on structural social capital and non-financial performance of family farms. Questionnaires were used to collect data from family farms in Guangxi, China, from August 25^th to September 8^th, 2021. There were 759 valid responses, accounting for 94.99 percent of the total number of respondents. The scales' reliability and validity, and the research's mediating effects and hypotheses, are tested using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 26.0. The findings suggest that the impact of government financial assistance on family farms' non-financial performance cannot be substantiated. The intermediary chain connection of financial and training support, on the other hand, has a significant mediating effect between structural social capital and family farm non-financial performance. Direct financial assistance could be thought to encourage family farms to rely too much on funding, making them less competitive in market competition, innovation, and long-term operations. According to the conclusions of the study, government assistance to family farms could take a variety of forms, including providing diversified skills training programs in farming practices, managerial skills, and other areas.
