이 연구는 부산지역 서민금융기관의 영업기반을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 1980년대 후반 이후 지역금융을 활성화하기 위한 논의가 본격화하였지만 서민금융기관은 관심을 끌지 못하였다. 지방은행과 기업금융이 주된 관심사였기 때문이다. 금융위기 이후 지역금융시장이 수요자시장으로 변화되고, 경영사정이 크게 악화되면서 서민금융기관은 구조조정의 대상으로 되고 있다. 그러나 서민금융기관이 지역금융시장에서 어떠한 역할을 수행하는지에 대한 분석은 거의 없다. 이 연구는 그것이 양적 및 질적인 측면에서 지역금융시장에서 중요한 역할을 행하고 있으며, 특히 은행신용에 접근이 제약된 지역의 영세기업과 서민가계에 대한 금융을 공급함에 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 하고 있다고 주장한다. 이 연구는 서민금융기관은 서민을 위한 금융기관이라는 기존의 막연한 인식을 실증분석을 통해 확인하고 있으며, 서민금융기관이 지역주민과 지역경제에 밀착된 경영을 하게 된 사정도 이론적으로 검토하고 있다.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between regional financial development and corporate investment efficiency as well as the relationship between firm-level characteristics and corporate investment efficiency. Using a large sample of A-listed companies in China from CSMAR database between 2003 and 2016, this paper explores corporate investment efficiency and its influencing factors in emerging market on the basis of heterogeneous stochastic frontier model. The results show that: (1) the average investment efficiency of Chinese listed companies is 74.5%, and the investment efficiency of large enterprises, state-owned enterprises and enterprises with relatively high financial development level is significantly higher; (2) compared with average corporate investment efficiency in the year 2003, the investment efficiency of different types of enterprises in 2016 is significantly higher, and the gap is gradually widening; (3) enterprise heterogeneity namely firm size, nature of property right, and institutional environment reflected by the level of regional financial development indirectly affects corporate investment efficiency by influencing the financing constraints and uncertainty. The findings suggest that to improve corporate investment efficiency in emerging market, financial market should be accelerated, regional balance should be restored and the differences among regions, industries and differences between public and private sectors should be eliminated.

For historical and political reasons, South Korea (hereafter Korea), Japan and China have not achieved much progress in regional energy cooperation for decades. However, the rising importance of Northeast Asia (NEA) in the world energy sphere, especially in the global oil market, is providing an opportunity to create an integrated oil market in the region. This study suggests the Northeast Asian Energy Corridor (NEAEC) Initiative as an effective conduit for raising the possibility of the Northeast Asian oil hub project. The NEAEC Initiative combines the model of Europe's Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) with Singapore's AsiaClear as a form of financial collaboration. The study suggests that an electronically integrated Over-the-Counter (OTC) market clearing mechanism accompanied by other key financial instruments among Korea, Japan and China can be an effective means for promoting financial collaboration in the region.

이 논문은 경북 동해안 지역금융시장을 분석하고 있다. 분석결과에 따르면 신용협동기구는 지역의 영세기업의 금융제약을 완화하기 위해 충분한 노력을 기울이지 않고 있다. 많은 논의는 신용협동기구가 지역에 밀착된 경영을 통해 자신의 경쟁력을 강화하고 나아가 안정적인 성장을 도모해야 한다고 제안한다. 그러나 현재 그들은 차입자의 사적인 정보를 획득하기 위한 노력을 충분히 기울이고 있지 않은 채, 신용평점제도와 담보에 의존하여 자금을 운용하고 있다. 이 자체 그들의 취약한 경쟁력의 근저에 놓여있는 문제이다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 신용협동기구는 지역사회개발에 적극 참여해야 한다. 다른 한편 정부도 이들의 육성에 힘을 기울여야 한다. 이들의 기능이 활성화될 때 지역금융시장의 효율성이 제고되고 지역경제도 순조롭게 성장할 수 있을 것이다.

We investigate interconnectedness and the contagion effect of default risk in Asian sovereign CDS markets since the global financial crisis. Using dynamic conditional correlation analysis, we find that there are significant co-movements in Asian sovereign CDS markets; that such co-movements tend to be larger between developing countries than between developed and developing countries; and that in the co-movements intra-regional nature is stronger than inter-regional nature. With the Spillover Index model, we measure contagion probabilities of sovereign default risk in CDS markets of seven Asian countries and find evidence of contagion effects among six of them; Japan is the exception. In addition, we find that these six countries are affected more by cross-market spillovers than by their own-market spillovers. Furthermore, a rolling-sample analysis reveals that contagion in the Asian sovereign CDS markets expands during episodes of extreme economic and financial distress, such as the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, the European financial crisis, and the US-credit downgrade.

This paper attempts to review of recent development of ASEAN financial integration and to evaluate it and predict its future aspect. For this purpose, we first examine the historic aspect of ASEAN financial integration such as ASEAN financial service open agreement or ASEAN capital market forum report and currently agreed integration plan. In addition, we study the development stages of ASEAM member countries in terms of its economic size or income level. Finally, we look at the financial market and institutional aspect of ASEAN member countries and the recent development of global financial market. From these analyses, we find several important facts. First, it is true that ASEAN, in general, will enjoy the effect of expanding regional investment and improving the quality of financial service through the financial integration. We think that its long term benefit is too large for ASEAN member states to avoid. Second, as a result, it is certain that ASEAN will corporate further to make its financial market to be integrated in the future. Third, however, despite these benefits and continuing efforts, we expect that it will be very difficult for ASEAN to reach a stage of financial integration as suggested in the Blueprint of ASEAN Economic Community by the year of 2015. The large difference among member states in term of economic and financial development will not allow for them to reach a single goal within a short time. Instead, we expect the following scenario for the integration process will hold. First, ASEAN will reach an agreement on the institutional framework by 2015 and afterwards, slowly the markets will begin to integrate. Second, at the earlier stage, not all but some countries will start the integration process. We expect that the financial market of ASEAN 5 will first be integrated and other 5 will join to it later.

본 연구는 우리나라 광역대도시의 노동시장을 사례로, 지역노동시장이 갖는 지역성을 임금결정과정을 중심으로 고찰하였다 외환위기이후 주목을 받기 시작한 대도시내 실업과 같은 노동시장의 구조변화와 계층간의 사회적 분극화는 별개의 현상이 아니며 대도시내 노동시장과정을 통해 긴밀히 연결되어 있다. 임금결정과정에 대한 회귀분석결과, 전체적으로 고학력 및 고기능 사무직 근로자에 대한 임금상승효과가 대도시를 중심으로 두드러지게 나타난다. 이는 대도시에서 산업재구조화와 정보기술의 보급에 따른 노동시장의 수요변화와 맞물리면서 기술적.공간적 불일치에 의한 구조적 실업의 양산과 직종간의 임금격차를 유발하게 되는 것과 긴밀히 관련되어 있다. 또한 임금결정과정에 기초한 노동시장과정은 뚜렷한 지역성을 갖고 있기 때문에, 개별 광역시 노동시장내 임금결정과정과 그것이 갖는 소득변화에 대한 영향은 특정 노동시장의 특성, 즉 노동시장의 공급 및 수요구조, 산업구조 및 실업변화 등에 기초해서 이해되어야 한다 이러한 사실이 바로 지역정책으로서 노동시장정책이 올바로 정립되어야 하는 이유이며, 이는 바로 노동시장에 대한 지리학적 연구를 통해 이루어질 수 있다.

The major purpose of this paper is to examine two closely related issues. An attempt is made here to examine internationally high land price in Korea from the perspectives of market fundamentals (MF) and bubble theory, respectively. Another theoretical issue, whether land speculation can result in market failure, is also examined. It has been concluded that the primary causes for the rapid increases in land prices in Korea, could be found in the perspective of MF. (1) The financial intermediaries has been controlled by the government since 1960s. Real Interest rates in the commercial banks has been controlled at the level of zero or sometimes negative; scarce financial resources has been rationed by the government. The governmental control of the bands has also resirained the development of securities market. Money, which can not find the appropri opportunity for saving in financial market, moves to land market. (2) Socially created land value, based on rapid economic gorwth and big public investment, has been appropriated mainly by the private: The effective tax rate of land holding tax has been under 0.02 percent; Real Estate Capital Galns Tax has, in fact, affected few persons, mainly because examptions and preferential taxation have been widely permitted. (3) The government has ploaced severe limitations on rural-to-urban land conversion, although the demand for urban uses has repidly grown. All factors above caused the cyclical land speculation. This, in turn, created the myth that land prices will inevitably continue to rise. Based on the myth, the growing bubble in land price has been created. This is the secondary reason for high land price relative to income in Korea. It is also shown that it is possible that speculation in land results in market failure because land is fixed in quantity and can be used for production and speculation purposes simultaneously.

This study investigates the resilient structural characteristics of a region by assessing the impact of the financial crisis. Utilizing panel data at the prefecture level for metropolitan cities across pre-shock (2006-2008), shock (2009), and post-shock (2010-2019) periods, we calculated an employment resilience index by combining the resistance and recovery indices. The panel logit regression measures the influences of the region's industrial structure and external economic factors in response to the global financial crisis. The results revealed that the diversity index of industries contributed to the post-shock recovery bounce-back. Additionally, the presence of large firms and industrial clusters within the region positively contributed to economic resilience. The specialization and the proportion of manufacturing industries showed negative effects, suggesting that regions overly reliant on manufacturing-centered specialization might be vulnerable to external shocks. Furthermore, excessive capital outflows for market expansion were found to have a detrimental impact on regional economic recovery.
