In this study, a consumer willingness to pays for residential heating systems are estimated by economic valuation method. The major Korean residential heating systems in apartments are central heating system (CH), district heating system (DH), and individual heating system (IH). However, DH and IH systems are adopted in newly constructed apartments. Each heating system has own characteristics which residents can identify and value. 700 households in apartment were surveyed to analyze the preference of the residential heating systems and to estimate willingness to pay. We find that the households in DH system are more satisfied with their heating system than the households in other systems overall and that consumers prefer an apartment with DH system than with IH system and the willingness to pay for IH system is less than DH system. The results indicate that DH system has the relative premium which may be caused by the safety and the convenience to manage the system.

This study compares brand equity of the fast food industry between Korea and the Philippines. This comparison is conducted by measuring a price premium that the college students in both countries would pay for hamburgers. Three popular fast food chains in each country, Lotteria, McDonalds', and Burger King in Korea and Jollibee, McDonalds', and Burger King in the Philippines, were chosen for the study. Utilizing a brand-based comparative approach, the findings of the study indicated that Burger King showed the highest brand equity for the premium brand image in both countries, whereas both local brands had a lower brand equity compared to international brands. The results of the study provide useful information for international and local brand managers that wish to establish strategies for a brand image, as well as to manage brand equity effectively.

본 연구는 기존의 조건부가치측정에서 채택하고 있는 전통적 응답메커니즘은 사실상 불확실성이 존재하지 않는 실제 거래에 적용되는 응답메커니즘이라는 점을 밝히고, 불확실성이 존재하는 실제 거래에 적용되는 실제 위험응답메커니즘과 가상 거래에 적용되는 가상 위험응답메커니즘을 제안하고 있다. 지불의사(WTP)와 제시가격(bidding price)을 단순 비교하여 구매여부를 결정하는 전통적 응답메커니즘과 달리, 실제 위험응답메커니즘은 WTP의 평균값이 제시가격보다 최소한 리스크프리미엄보다 커야만 구매하고, 그렇지 않으면 구매를 포기한다. 또한 가상 위험응답메커니즘은 실제 위험응답메커니즘과 구조는 같으나 실제 리스크프리미엄보다 적은 리스크프리미엄을 기준으로 구매의사가 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 실제 데이터를 이용하여 전통적 응답메커니즘, 실제 위험응답메커니즘 그리고 가상 위험응답메커니즘에 대응하는 WTP 추정치를 비교함으로써 가상 위험 응답메커니즘이 소위 과소평가편의와 과대평가편의를 줄일 수 있는 해결 방안이 될 수 있음을 보이고 있다.

This study investigated consumers' perceptions and willingness to pay (WTP) for fruit and vegetables grown using renewable energy such as solar power, geothermal, waste heat from incinerators, hot water from thermal power plants. To this end, this study conducted an online survey of 1,050 consumers in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and the six metropolitan cities, and the main findings are as follows. First, most of the consumers perceived climate change as a serious problem, and 82.8% recognized the government's declaration of carbon zero was appropriate, which means that the government's active response to climate change is important. Second, on the pros and cons of the use of renewable energy when cultivating fruits and vegetables, opinions in favor of solar power were the highest, followed by geothermal heat, waste heat from waste incineration plants, and thermal power generation hot drainage. Third, at least 28.0% to 41.7% of consumers were willing to purchase fruits and vegetables using renewable energy more expensive than fruits grown using fossil energy such as kerosene. This means that the fruit and vegetable market using renewable energy is valuable as a niche market.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of sustainability management (SM) at coffee houses on customers' store image and behavioral intention. In addition, customers' willingness to pay a premium for sustainable coffee houses was studied. During October 2011, a web survey was conducted via an on-line research company with customers aged 20 to 39 visiting one of the top five coffee houses in Korea at least once a month. A total of 300 targeted customers responded and all the data were analyzed. An exploratory factor analysis derived two dimensions of SM: SM in Social and Environmental Perspective and SM in Economic Perspective. The result of structural equation modeling indicated that SM in Economic Perspective at coffee houses had a significant positive effect on customers' behavioral intention with mediating effect by store image, but SM in Social and Environmental Perspective did not have such effect. Approximately one-third (31%) of the respondents were willing to pay a premium for a sustainable coffee house in a scenario. approximately 84% of the respondents unwilling to pay a premium for the sustainable coffee house chose the cost-related reasons including "Coffee price at the coffee house that they most often visit is already expensive (62.3%)" for such unwillingness. The results of this study showed that SM of coffee houses, especially that in Economic Perspective, could contribute to store image, and therefore increase customers' favorable behavioral intention, although the additional cost resulted from such SM practices might not be easily accommodated by customers.

이 연구의 목적은 임목을 대상으로 하는 임산물재해보험 도입에 앞서 산림경영인들의 보험료 지불의사를 파악하고 이에 영향을 미치는 인자를 규명하는 데 있다. 가상가치평가법(CVM)을 이용하여 분석한 결과 산림경영인들의 지불의사액은 연간 9,440원/ha으로 추정되었다. 독림가나 임업후계자 등 전문임업인이 다른 유형의 산주보다 더 높은 보험료 지불의사를 보여주었고, 재해 경험이 있는 산주가 그렇지 않은 산주보다 더 높은 보험료 지불의사를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 전문임업인과 비전문임업인 각각에 대해 산출한 결과 전문임업인은 비전문임업인에 비해 50% 높은 금액의 지불의사를 나타냈다. 이는 임산물재해보험의 실질 수요자로서 전문임업인의 보험 가입 유인이 비전문임업인보다 큰 것을 의미한다. 따라서 임산물재해보험을 도입할 때 보험의 안정적 운영을 위해 전문임업인을 우선 가입 대상으로 고려해야 한다.

Generation MZ, a generic term for millennials and members of Generation Z, is an innovation-leading consumer group in the current market. This study aimed to examine the impact of the ethical consumption tendencies of millennials and Generation Z on the purchase intention of social enterprise fashion products. Data were collected from Generation MZ (15-40 years old) by quota sampling based on the demographic variables of gender, age, and region, respectively. Eight hundred responses were analyzed by descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test, and regressions using SPSS software. Three value factors (egoistic, altruistic, and biospheric) and three ethical consumption tendency factors (resource saving tendency, eco-friendly tendency, and consciousness of corporate responsibility) were determined by factor analyses. The results confirmed that women, who showed a higher ethical consumption tendency in all three factors, were more altruistic and biospheric than men. Furthermore, women portrayed a more favorable attitude and purchase intention towards fashion products of social enterprises. The results demonstrated that members of Generation Z were more altruistic and biospheric than millennials. Additionally, the attitude, purchase intention, and willingness to pay premium prices were higher in Generation Z members. It was confirmed that higher biospheric values correlated with greater values for the three ethical consumption tendency factors. The altruistic value affected both the resource saving tendency and eco-friendly trend, while the egoistic value had an effect on the resource saving tendency. Both attitude and purchase intention were positively influenced by all three of the ethical consumption tendency factors, and affected the willingness to pay premium prices. This was subsequently influenced by the resource saving tendency and consciousness of corporate responsibility. The results of this study contribute to understanding Generation MZ as a consumer group, and the establishment of marketing strategies for fashion companies.
