This study was conducted to analyse the dine out behaviors for single-person households using the Consumer Behavior Survey for Food in 2019. The results showed that the respondents had different dine out behaviors according to their age. 20s~30s and 40s~50s single-person household tend to dine out more frequently than 60s~70s. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the most important selection criteria when choosing a restaurant (p=0.063), but 39.7% of 20s~30s 43.1% of 40s~50s, and the 38.3% of 60s~70s respondents selected 'the taste of food', and the young people (20s~30s) who chose 'cleanliness of the restaurant' were second with 39 people (15.5%), but in the opinion of 40s~50s and 60s~70s, 'price level' was the second most important selection criteria. Besides, frequency of buying food at home was the influencing factor for 20s~30s' monthly expenditure of dinning out, while frequency of buying food at home, monthly expenditure of buying delivery or take-out food were the factors for 40s~50s. Lastly, gender, occupation as well as monthly expenditure of buying delivery or take-out food were the factors for 60s~70s' monthly expenditure of dinning out. As many studies have shown that the expenditures single-person households play an important role in the restaurant business, the results of this study are necessary for food service industry to generate different business strategy to single-person household by age.

Purpose: The purpose of present study was to explore relationship between physical activity (PA) behavior and self-efficacy among older Korean-Americans (OKAs) based on reviewing major theories that are used to understand PA behavior, particularly as they relate to older adults within sociocultural contexts. Methods: 151 OKAs, living in California, were recruited and interviewed once. Self-efficacy and PA level were measured by Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale, Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors (K-CHAMPS) questionnaire, respectively. Results: 82.8% of OKA women and 72.4% of OKA men had relatively low ($38.8{\pm}29.3$) self-efficacy related to PA. Exercise self-efficacy was statistically significant and positively associated with frequency for moderate and greater PA (r = 0.25, p < .01), frequency for all listed PA (r = 0.21, p < .05), caloric expenditure for moderate and greater PA (r = 0.23, p < .01), and caloric expenditure for all listed PA (r = 0.31, p < .01). Conclusion: Social Cognitive Theory including self-efficacy can provide insight about how to shape strategies that encourage OKAs to adhere to regular PA because it focuses on environmental as well as personal factors. Increased efforts are needed to understand the other factors associated with being active in OKAs.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to analyze the cost behavior of firms, taking into account both high R&D intensity and situations in which R&D activities are likely to be performed efficiently. Design/methodology/approach - During the sample period from 2002 to 2019, regression analysis is conducted on the manufacturing firms with December fiscal year listed on KOSDAQ. The degree of R&D expenditure was measured by R&D intensity. The efficient R&D situation is measured as the decline stage firms in the KOSDAQ market, which are relatively smaller than the KOSPI market. Findings - Firms in the decline phase and high R&D intensity showed the cost stickiness. Because these firms anticipate an optimistic future, they do little to cut current costs even if their current sales decrease. Research implications or Originality - Firstly, it is confirmed that both the extent of R&D expenditure and the situation in which R&D will be effectively performed are important in the study of cost behavior. Secondly, we present a new perspective on strategy research that favors the use of cost advantage strategy related to cost anti-stickiness for the decline firms.

Background: Under the risk of financial sustainability of National Health Insurance, Korean government attempted a series of regulations over pharmaceutical prices. The first price-cut was implemented to the hyperlipidemial treatments, and the prices of statins were reduced on 15th, April in 2009. The purposes of this study are 1) to investigate the impact of this price-cut on pharmaceutical expenditure, and 2) to identify the factors associated with drug-switch among statins. Methods: Using the national patients sample data, this study conducted time series analysis on the expenditures, prices, and volumes of statin drugs. To understand the factors associated with drug-switch, the multinomial logit model was analyzed at the patients level. Results: The results of time series analysis demonstrated that the price-cut of hyperlipidemic medicines did not lead to the reduced expenditure, suggesting the increased volume was the major cause. The multinomial logit analysis identified the switch of healthcare provider as the significant factor that was highly associated with drug-switch, implying the physicians' preference was the major motivation of drug-switch. Conclusion: Without control of utilization, price regulation itself could not reduce pharmaceutical expenditure. This suggests that the pharmaceutical regulations should be implemented on the basis of understanding of provider behaviors. The findings of this study will form the first step for further empirical studies.

본 논문은 오프라인 쇼핑을 대체하는 새로운 유통 채널로서 뚜렷한 비중을 차지하고 있는 인터넷 및 TV 홈쇼핑에 대한 소비자들의 선택 결정 요인을 표본선택오차 문제를 고려한 헥킷 모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 연령이 낮을수록, 그리고 인터넷 경력, 인터넷 이용 시간, 보유 컴퓨터의 수 등에 있어서 인터넷 쇼핑 채널의 이용에 유리한 환경에 있을수록 인터넷 쇼핑에 대한 상대적 구매비중으로 측정한 인터넷 쇼핑에 대한 선호도가 높게 나타나고 있다. 반면에 성별이나 기혼여부 등 다른 인구통계학적 특성은 채널 간 구매비중에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있지 못하며, TV 시청시간이나 케이블 TV 서비스 타입 등 TV 홈쇼핑 이용 환경과 관련된 변수들 역시 별다른 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 거래비용 절감의 유인이 큰 쇼핑빈도가 높은 구매자들일 수록 인터넷 쇼핑 채널을 TV홈쇼핑에 비해 상대적으로 많이 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 채널 별 특성과 관련해서는 인터넷 쇼핑 채널이 TV 홈쇼핑 채널에 비해 편리하고, 신뢰할만하며, 신속하고, 다양하다는 구매자들의 인식이 인터넷 쇼핑 채널의 상대적 구매비중에 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 반면에 인터넷 및 TV 홈쇼핑 유통 채널간의 가격 수준에 대한 인식은 이러한 상대적 구매비중에 별 다른 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Background: This study purposed to compare the difference on medical utilization and health expenditure of baby boomer generation by depression between gender. Methods: Korea Welfare Panel Survey 2016, provided by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs, was used for the analysis. For the research, we used the two-part model, yes or no of use (part 1), and frequency of use (part 2) for medical utilization. The dependent variables are the whether or not to use of hospitalization services, outpatient services, length of stay, outpatient service visits, and health expenditure. And the independent variables are used as the predisposing (education, spouse presence), enabling (insurance type, private insurance, economic activity, income), and need (chronic disease, self-rated health, disability) factors in the Andersen behavior model. Depression was used as intervening variables. Structural equation model and multiple group analysis by gender were used. Results: There were differences in the medical care usage and cost between men and women in baby boomer. For men, mediating effects of depression were present at the hospitalization (yes/no), length of stay, and health expenditure. On the other hand, for women, the mediating effect of depression was found only at the outpatient visits. Specially, depression was working at the medical services by the different way between gender. The size of effect (multiple group analysis) was affected by significant differences between men and women. Conclusion: This study found that the mediating effect of depression is increased medical usage and health expenditure and the effect factors are different by gender. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a medical care policy considering the socio-economic characteristics of baby boomers.

The purpose of this study is to classify the expenditure behaviors of housewives into some types and to identify the characteristics of the types focucing on diverse expenditure behaviors of urban households. In this study it is assumed that the expenditure behaviors are classified by there factors-(1)the orientation of money saving (2)the orientation of time saving and (3)the orientation of others. The present study suggests following three questions. (1). Can the expenditure behaviors of urban housewives be classified according to the orientation of money saving the orientation of others? (2) What distictions exist among the types? (3) Which variables are useful in classifying the expenditure behaviors? For empirical analysis the data of the study was collected from 650 housewives living in Seoul. The statistical methods adopted for data analysis are frequency percentage mean Pearson's correlation coefficient factor analysis cluster analysis one way ANOVA Duncun's multiple ran e test and discriminant analysis. As the major findings 4 types were extracted, According to the level of each dimensions the names for the each type were given as "the type of attaching importance to money saving" "the type of attaching importance to time and appearance" "the type of attaching importance to money saving and time" "the type of attaching importance to money saving and time" "the type of attaching importance to money saving and time" "the type of attaching importance to money saving and appearance" In "the type of attaching importance to money saving" the significant portion of housewives have high school degrees and compared with other types this type includes more husbands having sales and service job 55% of housewives of "The type of attaching importance to time and appearance" have graduate or higher degrees. The significant part of earned incomes range from 3 million won to 5 million won. The rate of housewives employed in the professional job is higher than other types. In "The type of attaching importance to money saving and time" the rate of the employment of housewives in this type is the highest among the types. In "The type of attaching importance to money saving and appearance" the significant portion of housewives have graduate degrees. In the jobs of he spouses the management job is major. The consciousness of belonging to the middle class is higher than other types. In this type the level of education is high but that of income is not. The result of the discriminant analysis says that the earned income and the consciousness of belonging to a calss are the most critical variables to classify the expenditure behaviors into 4 type The accuray of the classification of the discrimination equation composed of these variables is 47,5% The accuracy is improved by 10%.
