  • Purpose: This study estimates the threshold values of institutional quality through investigating the non-linear effect of six sub-indices of Worldwide Governance Indicators on FDI inflows in 34 developing countries in Asia and Eastern Europe over the period from 2000-2017. Research Design, data and methodology: GMM EGLS is employed which does not include the lagged value of the dependent variable as an independent variable. As a proxy for the institutional quality, either one of the six sub-indices of WGI from World Bank or the composite index obtained through a principal component analysis is used in a separate model. Results: An improvement in institutional quality, when the quality stays below a certain threshold level, does not increase FDI inflows, and only when the quality is above the threshold, it can positively influence FDI inflows. The threshold values of political stability and absence of violence, government effectiveness, and rule of law are relatively higher than those of the other dimensions of WGI. Conclusion: Institutional quality of the developing economies of Asia and Eastern Europe has a non-linear effect on FDI inflows. The target countries need to upgrade their institutional quality above the threshold in order to attract more FDIs.

  • 본 연구는 기후변화에 대응하기 위해서 국립공원의 관리방향을 설정하고, 이에 따른 정책을 수립하기 위한 기초 자료를 제공하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해서 국립환경과학원에서 개발한 기후변화 취약성 평가 도구인 LCCGIS 프로그램의 취약성 대용변수 24개를 이용하여 현재와 미래의 국립공원의 기후변화 취약성을 분석하였다. 국립공원의 기후변화 취약성에 대한 현황과 미래전망을 분석하고 평가하기 위하여 기후노출의 대용변수는 기후변화 시나리오 (RCP 8.5)를 적용하여 $1km{\times}1km$ 격자 단위의 GIS 공간주제도를 제작하여 값을 추출하고, 민감도 및 적응 능력의 대용변수의 값은 국립공원 기본 통계값을 이용하여 추출하였다. 3개의 취약성 평가항목의 값은 현재 (2010년대)와 미래 (2050년대)에 대해서 추출하였으며, 미래 예측 시나리오가 없는 민감도 및 적응 능력과 관련된 대용변수는 현재 상태가 지속된다는 가정 아래 현재의 값을 미래에도 동일하게 적용하였다. 현재 (2010년대) 기후노출은 설악산, 오대산, 지리산, 치악산국립공원이 상대적으로 크고, 미래 (2050년대)에는 지리산, 오대산, 설악산, 한려해상이 클 것으로 예상되었다. 특히, 폭염의 변화가 가장 큰 공원은 월출산국립공원이고 가뭄이 크게 변하는 공원은 계룡산국립공원이며, 월악산국립공원이 폭우의 변화가 가장 클 것으로 나타났다. 국립공원 기후변화 민감도는 지리산국립공원이 가장 민감하고 적응 능력도 가장 높게 평가되었다. 민감도가 가장 낮은 곳은 가야산국립공원이고, 적응 능력은 치악산국립공원이 가장 낮았다. 기후변화 취약성은 설악산, 오대산, 치악산, 덕유산, 한려해상국립공원이 현재시기에 높게 평가되었고, 미래 취약성의 변화가 큰 공원은 지리산, 월악산, 치악산, 소백산국립공원 순으로 전망되었다. 전반적으로, 국립공원의 기후변화 취약성을 평가하는 항목인 기후노출, 민감도, 그리고 적응 능력은 국립공원의 지역적인 기후환경에 따라서 상대적으로 차이가 나타나기 때문에 전 공원을 대상으로 획일적인 적응대책을 수립하기보다는 국립공원의 지역적인 기후환경 특성을 반영한 적응대책 마련이 필요할 것이다. 국립공원을 대상으로 기후노출, 민감도 및 적응 능력의 대용변수를 이용하여 기후변화 취약성을 평가한 본 연구의 결과는 국립공원의 지역적인 기후환경 특성을 고려한 기후변화 적응대책을 수립하는 데 기초자료로서 활용될 것으로 기대된다. 하지만 국립공원의 기후변화 취약성 평가와 관련된 연구가 거의 없는 실정에서 LCCGIS프로그램 상에서 제시되는 대용변수만을 사용하여 분석하였기 때문에, 국립공원의 전반적인 환경을 제대로 반영하지 못할 수 있다. 향후 연구에서는 국립공원의 기후변화 취약성을 평가하기 위하여 보다 적합한 대용변수의 객관적인 검토와 함께 가중치 설정에 대한 연구가 진행될 필요가 있다.

  • Changes in the price of materials in construction projects is one of the important variables. Therefore, measures are necessary to respond to the demand and supply of materials and price instability. In previous studies, mainly of ready-mix concrete and steel beam analysis was carried out. However, a study of non-ferrous material prices are still insufficient. So, in this study, the researcher identified the causal relationship between the construction cost and non-ferrous materials prices. Construction Cost Index was selected as a proxy variable of construction cost.

  • This study attempts to shed some lights on an effect of consumer education by using the formal education as a proxy variable and measuring the effect of the formal education on consumer behavior. This study utilizes economic theories and develops a theory to analyze the effect. Within the conceptual framework employed in this study, it is hypothesized that education raises productivity in the nonmarket sector and thereby affects consumer behavior in the same manner as money income affects behavior. the data are taken from the self-administered questionnaires among 553 housewives in July 1987. the procedure used is to fit separate engel curves for the expenditures on various goods by the weighted regression technique. The empirical results support the hpothesis. Therefore, this study shows positive effects of education on the productivity of household production functions. This result implies that consumer education would enhance efficiency in consumer behavior significantly.

  • This study investigated the effects of the householder's age as a proxy for the family life cycle stage variable and the householder's occupation on the household financial structures. Household financial structures are analyzed by the components of two financial statements(the income and expense statement and the balance sheet statement) and selected financial ratios. The data came from the 1998 Korean Household Panel Study. It was found that the age profiles of household finances such as household income, expenditure, savings and consumption rate, financial assets, real assets and home ownership, debt and net worth usually vary according the householder's occupation. The ratios of debt repayment and the liquidity ratios also vary in part as age changes for each occupational group.

  • This study identified CSFs(Critical Success Factors) for successful ERP system implementation in small and medium firms, and empirically tested relationship between CSFs and user performance. Survey questionnaires were distributed via email & fax to 142 firms that have implemented ERP systems. Out of 52 responded questionnaires, 46 data sets were available for statistical analysis with SPSSWin8.0. CEO's participation, vendor support & service, securing human resources, effective use of software, and hardware capacity were identified as CSFs from factor analysis. Among those factors, vendor support & service and effective use of software were related to user performance, and the relationship was shown to be statistically significant. Study results also showed that user performance of ERP system was significantly different among those surveyed firms when ERP system package products were used as a simple proxy measure of independent variable.

  • The purpose of this research is to identify the relation between the Korean wave and Korean cosmetics export. Instead of using UN COMTRADE data as with other researches on the similar studies, this paper adopts Google Trends query index with keyword 'Korean drama'as a proxy variable for cultural trade. With controlling export determining factors such as GDPs of import and export countries, distance, R&D, and FTA, this paper examines whether the Korean wave represented by Google Trends contributes to the explosive increase of Korean cosmetics export in the recent years. Moreover, this study also investigates the possible effects of the Korean wave on export that could vary according to the different trade groups by classifying import countries into two groups: 74 countries worldwide and 9 ASEAN member countries. The results reveal that the Korean wave indeed leads to cosmetics export to ASEAN countries but show weak relation with cosmetics export to worldwide.

  • The objective of this study was to establish whether global macroeconomic indicators affect the profitability of Korean shipping companies by using panel regression analysis. OROA (operating return on assets) and ROA (ratio of net profit to assets) were selected as proxy variables for profitability. OROA and ROA were used as dependent variables. The world GDP growth rate, interest rate, exchange rate, stock index, bunker price, freight, demand and supply of the world shipping market were set as independent variables. The size of the firm was added to the control variable. For small-sized firms, OROA was not affect by macroeconomic indicators. However, ROA was affected by variables such as interest rates, bunker prices, and size of firms. For medium-sized firms, OROA was affected by demand, supply, GDP, freight, and asset variables. However, macroeconomic indicators did not affect ROA. For large-sized firms, freight, GDP, and stock index (SCI; Shanghai Composite Index) have an effect on OROA. ROA was analyzed to be influenced by bunker price and SCI.

  • 본 논문에서는 캐슁 용량이 정해져 있는 프락시 서버의 효과적인 스케일러블 캐슁 알고리즘을 제안한다. 압축 효율 향상을 위해 엔트로피 코더를 사용하는 동영상 압축기의 특성과 움직임이 일정하지 않은 동영상 자체의 특성 때문에 동영상 데이터는 VBR(Variable Bit Rate) 성질을 가지고 있다. 이러한 VBR트래픽은 네트워크에 많은 부하를 주며, 네트워크에 부담을 줄이기 위해 CBR(Constant Bit Rate)로 전송하였을 때는 클라이언트에 보다 큰버퍼를 요구하며 또한 응답시간 지연이 발생할 수 있다. . 이러한 문제를 왜결하기 위한 한가지 방법으로 프락시 서버를 이용한 캐슁 방법이 제시되었다. 캐슁 방법을 사용하였을 때 클라이언트에서 요구되는 버퍼크기와 대역폭은 캐슁한 프레임의 크기와 위치에 따라 결정된다. 이러한 사실을 고려하여 정규화된 버퍼크기(Normalized Buffer Size)를 기초로 캐슁할 프레임을 선택함으로써, 효율적으로 버퍼크기와 대역폭을 줄일 수 있는 캐슁 기법을 제안한다. 마지막으로 실험결과에서 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘을 사용하였을 때 요구되는 대역폭은 Prefix caching과 거의 같으면서 요구되는 버퍼크기는 SCQ에 비해 10-35\%$ 개선된 것을 보인다.
