  • More people have become interested in hybrid vehicles - which have been heralded as environmentally friendly automobiles - recently as the opening of domestic hybrid vehicle market draws near. Since gasoline, diesel and LPG hybrid vehicles will be produced, a need exists to conduct economic feasibility study of each vehicle type. This research analyzed projected benefits of these hybrid vehicles based on the 1600cc model. There are two categories of benefits: 1) reduced fuel costs for the owners of the vehicles; and 2) reduced environmental pollution cost. We conducted a sensitivity analysis and estimated the domestic consumer fuel costs based on the international oil prices of 100USD, 150USD, and 200USD per barrel. The analysis showed savings of 2 to 4 million Won in fuel cost and 1 to 2 million Won in environmental pollution cost; therefore, the hybrid vehicles are not economically feasible if they are between 3 to 5 million Won more expensive than the conventional internal combustion engine vehicles.

  • Purpose - The purpose of this country analysis is to examine its current state: economically, politically, legally, and ethically, and look at small and medium Algerian businesses to identify any issues that could hinder economic and business performance and growth. Research Design, and Methodology - This is a case study, an analytical approach, which focuses on exploring and analyzing different aspects of Algeria. Results - Since 2008, the Algerian economy has experienced a relative slowdown due to falling oil and gas prices and the economic recessions of its main trading partners, in particular, European countries. Algeria has still not managed to diversify its economy or establish competitive industrialization at the international level; it has had difficulty shifting from its economic dependence on hydrocarbons. Algerian businesses continue to face obstacles and constraints, penalized in their performance and prevented from success in a dense and competitive global marketplace. Conclusion - The Algerian economy and Algerian businesses have shown positive performance and growth over the last few decades. However, issues exist that may hinder both business and economic progress in the future.

  • 세계 국제 화물 무역의 80% 이상이 해상운송을 통하여 운송되고 있다. 그래서 국제무역량이 많은 국가들은 해운산업의 중요성을 인식하고 자국의 해운산업을 육성하기 위한 정책을 추진해왔다. 최근 세계 경제, 국제무역, 세계 원유 가격 및 다른 불확실적인 요소들의 변화로 인하여 세계 해운 시장에 있어 경쟁이 더욱 심해지고 있다. 해안선에 많이 접해 있고 해외 경제의존도가 높은 국가인 태평양 연안 국가 예를 들어 일본, 중국, 한국의 해운산업은 최근 비약적인 발전을 해 오고 있다. 특히 중국은 급속히 증가하는 무역량을 바탕으로 해운산업의 성장이 급속도로 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 태평양 연안에 속해 있는 주요 해운국가인 일본, 중국, 한국, 싱가포르, 미국의 해운산업의 국제 경쟁력을 상호 비교하며 중국 해운산업에 경쟁력에 대한 강화방안을 제시하는 데 있다. M. Porter의 다이아몬드 모델을 바탕으로 AHP분석 방법을 통한 해운경쟁력 요소를 도출하고 이를 통해 주요 해운국과 중국 해운산업의 경쟁력을 비교해 본 결과 해운산업의 질적 요소에서 취약하기 때문에 이에 대한 개선 정책이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

  • International construction market has been open to other countries, and it derives the development of our overseas construction industry quantitatively as well as qualitatively. Until now, the major companies have an absolute majority in the overseas construction market, and the small and medium enterprises have had difficulty to get a leadership in the international construction market because of the lack of the technical expertise and the capital strength. Especially in the Middle East Asia, our construction companies has touched off a boom, so our market share also has grown, which derived from the up toward ratchet oil prices and a worldwide boom in real estate development. The small and medium enterprise minority have recognition that the overseas construction market is the major company's native territory. But Data from the existing researches and many statistics indicate the most companies tend to underestimate the capacity and international competitiveness of the small and medium enterprises. As a matter of fact, hundreds of small and medium enterprise cut a conspicuous figure in overseas market. Consequently, it is indispensable to overcome the international financial crisis by revitalizing our overseas construction industry which obtains excellent results in international market. this study suggested the ways to expand overseas bonding capacity of Korean financial institution. This study proposed the Korean government to allow Construction Guarantee (former Korea Construction Financial Cooperative) to deal with foreign exchange so that Construction Guarantee will underwrite the overseas construction bond.

  • 외환위기 이후 서서히 회복하던 국내 건설시장은 정부의 지속적인 부동산 규제 정책으로 최근 들어 급속히 위축되어 가고 있다. 반면 해외건설시장은 세계경제의 성장과 더불어 WTO(World Trade Organization)체제 출범이후 시장개방이 가속화되어 지속적인 성장을 하고 있고, 또한 최근의 고유가로 인한 중동을 중심으로 한 산유국들의 발주량 증가는 국내건설업체들에게 해외 진출의 좋은 기회가 되고 있다. 그러나 우리나라 건설업체들은 해외시장에서 선진국의 기술력과 중국 등 후발국의 추격으로 입지가 줄어들고 있는 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 1970년대부터 지금까지 우리나라 해외건설 수주실적 자료를 분석하여 우리나라 건설산업이 지나온 흔적들을 하나씩 살펴보고, 분석한 결과를 바탕으로 우리나라 건설업체들의 문제점들을 찾아보고자 한다. 이를 통해 나타난 현재 우리나라 해외건설시장의 문제점들에 대한 해결방안을 제시함으로써 향후 해외건설시장 확대에 도움이 되는 분석적인 자료를 제공하고자 한다.

  • The yearly consumption of soybean ranged from 1.5 to 1.7 million tons in Korea during 1995-1997 with an increasing trend of annual consumption by 60,000 tons. Gross consumption of soybean was 1.74 million tons in 1997: 1.292 million tons for feed, 0.433 million tons for food and its processing, and 15,000 tons for seed and other uses. Particularly, Korea totally depends upon imports of soybean for feed and oil. Only about $40{\%}$ of soybeans used for food and its processing are supplied through domestic production. Korean markets will be open to foreign agricultural products except for rice in 2004 when the Uruguay Round treaty is completed. According to the Korean Rural Economics Institutes reports, soybean consumption in 2004 is expected to be 1.87 million tons that is higher than that in 1997 by 0.13 million tons. In order to meet the need for soybean, Korean government planned to supply from 0.17 million tons of domestic production plus 1.7 million tons of imports, and also planned to raise the self-supply rate of $9.1{\%}$ in 2004 from $8.6{\%}$ in 1997. According to the USDA reports on international soybean production and consumption, its production is expected to be 150 million tons over the world and the international market prices for soybean will be unstable in 2004. Based on these reports, international soybean trade capacity will be 36 million tons in 2004 that is lower than 39 million tons (accounting for $25{\%}$ of gross production) in 1597. Also, a term-end stock in 2004 is estimated to be 9.6 million tons that is low as compared to 18.6 million tons In 1997, In coping with domestic and international soybean production, consumption and supply, and further possible food crisis, national policies and continuous efforts are necessarily required to promote domestic production and to reduce imports of soybean.

  • Today, the Korean fisheries is undergoing significant hardships, both domestically and internationally. While declining amount of catch, ascending international oil prices and others pose a compelling challenge to the fishing sector, the ever strengthening influence of international institutions related to fisheries and international trade organizations also compel to bring about myriad of changes in the realm of fishery products. Against the backdrop, this study attempted to examine the fisheries catch, aquaculture, service, processing fields in terms of its rippling effect and of how the industry has been changed by analyzing the past and present through an input-output analysis. As for research methods, 168 items of the input-output tables in 2000, 2005, 2009, and 2010 were integrated to form and classify 32 sectors (28 basic sectors + catch, aquaculture, fishery service, processed fishery products) so as to generate production inducement coefficient, sensitivity coefficient, and impact coefficient. The analysis results revealed that : though the linkage effect of fishery industry was not very sizable, the impact coefficient of the processed fishery products was high; the consumption and investment coefficient sector among production inducement coefficient was on an upturn trend ; the export coefficient was tended to decline. In the future research, it is necessary to carry out a study based on the integration of detailed classification (404 sector) and a study and analysis of fishery industry by different regions through the inter-regional input-output tables. The fishery industry is one of the crucial industries in Korea. The fishery industry is not only important in its own right but also significant as it exerts influence over other industries. Therefore, it is required that there should be more investment and supports for the development of the fishery industry, and pay efforts to ensure that the investment and development could lead to mutual growth for both the fishery and other various industries.

  • Korea, which has a high dependency on energy imports, is greatly affected by fluctuations in international oil prices. In order to offset these effects, various policies such as 'diversification of energy sources' and 'energy mix' are being pursued. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) is a policy promoted for this purpose, and a compulsory mixing system is applied only to the diesel. In order to reduce dependence on fossil fuels in various countries, they are concentrating on the dissemination of bio-alcohol as well as bio-diesel, and commercialization through various verification. In this study, evaluation of domestic materials and vehicles was carried out to promote domestic bio alcohol fuel. We analyzed the fuel characteristics of domestic quality standard items by mixing them with gasoline of automobile at a certain mixing ratio (0%, 3%, 6%, and 10%).
