In this study, chemical and physical changes of dissolving pulps which have similar viscosity by dry milling and fractionation were investigated. We used two types of dissolving pulp made from wood and cotton linter fiber, respectively. Dry milling was executed by knife cutter and pulp powders were fractionated by sieve shaker into 4 grades. We analyzed fiber properties, crystallinity index, viscosity, molecular weight of pulp sheet and powders. It was found that poly-dispersity index of cotton linter pulp was smaller than that of wood pulp, meaning that cotton pulp has more narrow molecular weight distribution. It was assumed that these were related to exposure times to chemical treatment which cut cellulose chains not evenly. At least 4 times of chemical treatments for wood pulp were executed and only two times of chemical treatments for cotton linter pulp were done. After dry milling average molecular weight and crystallinity index of cotton linter pulp powders were reduced and these were related to fines content and shape of pulp powders.

Spain is Europe's second-largest country with total throughput reaching 16.7 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) by 2020. The purpose of this study was to measure and compare the efficiency of 17 container terminals. As a study method, the DEA-CCR model, undesirable variable, and Malmquist Index (MI) were used for data envelopment analysis (DEA). The study results are as follow: (1) DEA-CCR is used to evaluate basic efficiency. The most efficient terminals are decision-making units DMU 1 (APM Terminals (Algeciras Port)), DMU 2 (Total Terminal International Algeciras (Algeciras Port)) and DMU 5 (Barcelona Europe South Terminal (Barcelona Port)). (2) Undesirable DEA was conducted to suggest inefficiency from the undesirable output. Overall, the efficiency scores were reduced. However, DMU 1, DMU 2, and DMU 5 maintained efficiency scores regardless of the finish factor. (3) Malmquist Index was used to observe technology and efficiency changes dynamically. The changes in TCI affected Spanish container terminals more than the Technical Efficiency Change Index (TECI) in 2018-2019. However, in 2019-2020, the TECI was 2.706, higher than the TCI value, indicating that the change in TECI had more influence on the increase in productivity. This study offers a broader understanding of Spanish container terminals.

This study aims to measure the efficiency and productivity change of 30 domestic construction companies from 2010 to 2018 using data envelopment analysis(DEA) and Malmquist productivity index (MI). In particular, we used the number of employees, capital stock, and non-current assets as input variables, and sales and net income as ouput variables for the analysis. The dataset used for the analysis of efficiency and productivity changes is the employee profile and financial statements for the companies from 2010 to 2018. We found that the MI of the 30 companies is greater than one since 2013. This is because many years of TEC (Technical Efficiency Change) is greater than 1, which means that the productivity index increases as the TEC increases. In addition, the MI value was less than 1, which lowered the productivity of construction firms in 2018. The results of the study may help decision makers to find effective future management plans by analyzing the internal and external factors.

This paper analyses the efficiency and productivity of R&D system across time (1991${\sim}$2000) and 16 OECD countries using multi-output and multi-input non-parametric frontier methods such as DEA (data envelopement analysis) and Malmquist productivity indexes. Malmquist productivity indexes are decomposed into two components measures, namely technical change and efficiency change. To calculate R&D efficiency and productivity, we used R&D stock and the number or researchers as R&D input proxies and the number of adjusted SCI papers and U.S. patent applications as R&D output proxies. Empirical result shows that Switzerland, Canada, U.S., Australia's R&D efficiencies are the highest and Korea's R&D productivity growth is the highest in the sample for the period. Technical efficiency growth was a more important source of productivity growth than technological innovation.

Commercial banks play an important role as the main source of funding in the transition process of Vietnam as a market economy. As a result, enhancing the efficiency and productivity of Vietnamese banks can decrease the lending cost for individuals and enterprises. This study is to measure and analyze the productivity change of Vietnamese banking system in different ownership cohorts and sources of this change during the period of restructuring (2011-2019). The Hicks-Moorsteen total factor productivity index is utilised to measure the productivity change and to identify the sources of this change. For an empirical analysis, the data of 28 Vietnamese commercial banks from 2011 to 2018 is collected from their financial statements including balance sheets and income statements. The results show an increase of Vietnamese bank productivity due to the technological progress. While foreign and joint-venture banks are the most advanced cohort, state-owned banks have the lowest rate of productivity growth. The restructuring program negatively impacts scale efficiency and this measure attributes to a decline in the overall efficiency of the banks. We also found that state-owned commercial banks are the most efficient group in the sense that they can achieve the maximal level of revenue from a given amount of expense.

In this study, we first measured the malmquist productivity index by DEA among the Korean public firms. Second, there are 12 public corporations whose productivity (MPI) has decreased compared to 2014. This is mainly because of a decrease in productivity, as well as a decrease in the technical efficiency change index (TECI), impacted by the internal environment, and the increase in productivity because of an increase in the technology change index (TCI) impacted by the external environment. Finally, the analysis of the impact on the management assessment scores showed that the productivity (MPI), scale efficiency (CRS), size of sales, operating profitability, and total capital investment efficiency are significantly related (+), except for the asset turnover, which is a static financial ratio. Meanwhile, the management evaluation scores between the high-productivity public corporations and low-performing public corporations were significantly discriminating. Thus, it is confirmed that the nation's state-run companies must manage their MPIs in a time series to score high in management evaluation.

본 논문은 경제 인문사회연구회 소관 23개 정부출연연구기관의 2006년도부터 2010년도까지 생산성 변화를 분석하고 생산성 변화 관련 요인을 파악하여 정책적 시사점을 도출하기 위해 수행되었다. DEA Malmquist 생산성 지수를 통해 분석한 결과, 이 기간 중 연구기관의 평균 생산성은 6.5% 하락한 것으로 나타났다. 이를 효율성 변화와 기술변화로 나누어 본 결과, 효율성은 평균 4.7% 향상되었지만 기술변화율이 평균 10.8% 하락한 것으로 드러났다. 이 기간 중 정부출연연구기관의 구조조정과 경영합리화에 대한 외부 압력이 높았다는 점을 고려해 볼 때 추격효과로 해석되는 효율성 향상은 내부적 경영합리화의 긍정적 결과로 볼 수 있다. 그러나 기술변화율의 하락은 전체적인 생산성 저하에 영향을 주고 있어, 향후 급변하는 외부환경변화에 대응하여 핵심 연구인력 확충, 연구개발비 확대, 연구개발방식 변화 등 연구개발 기능 강화를 통한 기술진보를 도모해야 하는 정책적 시사점을 제공한다. 또한 개별 연구기관들도 생산성변화의 원인이 효율성변화인지 기술변화인지를 파악하여 내부 경영합리화 또는 연구개발 강화 등의 발전전략을 수립하여 생산성 제고를 위한 노력을 해야 한다.

The effects of enzymatic treatment of recycled fiber were investigated to obtain the basic informations which can be used to improve the papermaking properties of recycled fiber. The recycled fibers were prepared by the repeated handsheet making and disintegrating of hardwood of hardwood and softwood kraft pulp. Novozym 342, Dinimax and Pulpzyme HC were used for enzymatic treatment. The change of fiber length distribution, freeness, contact angle and crystallinity of pulp were measured. The brightness, opacity, breaking and tear index of paper were also measured. The enzymatic treatment decreased long fiber fraction of recycled hardwood fiber, but increased long fiber fraction of recycled softwood fiber. Freeness was decreased with 0.1% enzyme and then increased again with the increase of th enzyme dosage. The improvement of flexibility of recycled fiber was obtained through the decrease of contact angle that is resulted from the decrease of crystallinity of fiber. Brightness and opacity were affected by the type of pulp and enzyme, and dosage of enzyme. Breaking length of recycled hardwood fiber was improved with enzyme treatment, but breaking length of recycled softwood fiber was decreased except for 0.01% Pulpzyme treatment. Tear index was decreased with enzymatic treatment and the lowest decrease was observed with the treatment to Pulpzyme.

본 연구는 지역전략산업인 광산업을 중심으로 생산성 변화를 추정하고 이러한 변화를 기술변화 요인과 효율성변화 요인으로 분해함으로써 광산업의 생산효율성 향상 방안을 모색한다. 특히 기존의 연구들과 달리 투입최소화와 산출최대화를 동시에 고려하고 아울러 투입요소와 산출물의 잔여를 모두 반영할 수 있는 비방사적 비지향적 맘퀴스트 생산성지수를 분석에 활용한다. 실증분석 결과, 광산업의 생산성은 증가한 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 생산성 증가는 주로 기술적 효율성 증가에 기인한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 정부지원사업 수혜 여부와 지리적 입지에 따라 생산성 변화에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 정부의 지역전략산업 육성정책이 광산업의 생산효율성 향상에 기여하고 있음을 시사하는 것으로 향후 광산업의 경쟁력 제고에 도움이 되는 실질적인 참고자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
