항만은 단순히 화물을 적재하고 하역하는 것뿐만 아니라 전 세계적 생산 네트워크 및 복잡한 공급망 내에서 중요한 역할을 하는 허브로 발전해 왔다. 항만은 지역적 수준에서 국가적 수준에 이르기까지 다양한 부가가치 생산 및 고용 창출에 기여하고 있으며, 이러한 점은 항만 및 항만 이해관계자에게 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 본 연구는 회귀모델을 활용하여 부가가치 및 고용수치에 대한 정보가 미비한 이탈리 아 내 항만 17곳의 부가가치 및 고용효과를 분석하는 것이 목적이다. 이탈리아 항만 시스템 개선의 측면에서, 본 연구는 해당 항만들의 효과 와 지역경제 내에서의 역할을 측정할 수 있는 도구를 개발하여 해당 항만의 정책 입안자들이 활용할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구에서는 모든 이탈리아 항만들이 지역 경제에 간접적 효과보다는 직접적 효과에 더 영향을 받는 것으로 조사되었으며, 대형 항만에서는 더 큰 사회경제적 효과가 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다.

In the case of T. S. Eliot, the difference between the use value of literature and its exchange value stems from the philosophical difference between the inner value of literature and its outer value. In the view of literature from an economic value, its exchange for money means the exchange of cultural and literary capital. Yet, it is not easy to ignore Marx’s concern the about the disturbing author’s consciousness of social criticism and his/her communication with reader’s when a literary work exceeds its worth by a critic in terms of commodity fetishism. But, if insight about human beings and society turns out to be a property of capital as a productive added-value, its literary worth is so satisfying that the fetishism of the reader as a consumer for the book cannot be an irrational action towards the market. From such a view, the study of economics of literature in the case of Eliot, gives us an instance in which we can find the use value of humanities in literature and its exchange value in terms of economics. As a poet, critic, and publisher, Eliot can be a most valuable person in literary history necessary for the study of literature in the light of economics. This paper examines Eliot through the effect of unity between literature and economics on the study of economics of literature and its positive elements in market, such as literary production, publication, distribution, and consumption.

The emergy concept was used to valuate the contributions of a tidal flat ecosystem included in the fourth stage reclamation plan for the Youngsan River area to the Korean economy. Emergy contributions of the ecosystem were compared with those of economic valuations performed on the same ecosystem. The tidal flat ecosystem contributed 3.55 million Em\/ha annually. This, however, cannot be compared directly with those of the economic valuations because both methodologies approach the valuation of ecosystems in different perspectives. The emergy methodology is a donor-based valuation in which what goes into making a product or service is measured, while the economic valuation is a receiver-based approach in which human receivers determine the value of an ecosystem product or service. An emergy valuation was conducted for the three ecosystem functions included in the economic valuations to compare the results of both methodologies on the same basis. Fishery production and pollutants removal contributed 9.86 million Em\/ha/yr and 0.88 million Em\/ha/yr, respective1y. The conservation value of the tidal flat ecosystem was 3.55 million Em\/ha/yr. Overall, the emergy valuation that try to include works of both human and nature on the same basis resulted in higher economic contribution of the tidal flat ecosystem than that calculated by the economic methodologies in which only human works are measured based on the willingness-to-pay of people. This study showed that the emergy concept could provide an alternative tool for policy decision-making regarding utilization and conservation of ecosystems by approaching the ecosystem valuation from a different perspective than that of economic methodologies.
