PURPOSES: The aim of this study is to analyze economic effect of bike-sharing after its introduction in Korea. METHODS: This study reviews current bike-sharing situations in Korea and other nations. We conduct surveys on bike-sharing system's bike usage patterns and economic benefits in Changwon and Goyang cities where public bikes are the most popular in the nation. Economic benefits are itemized after reviewing relevant previous studies. Then, the survey is implemented using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). Then estimated benefit is compared to the cost which is necessary for bike-sharing introduction and operation. RESULTS: Using the average WTP per household, the total economic benefit of bike-sharing is estimated as much as 1.75 billion KRW to 3.75 billion KRW in Goyang and Changwon city. Using estimated benefit, economic effect of bike-sharing are calculated as 0.69 and 1.00, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : The result of this study shows bike-sharing could be useful economic policy in Korea. However, economic effect of bike-sharing differs by city.

This paper analyzed that the economic effectiveness of the artificial fish reef project in the Tae-an Marine Ranching. Benefit-cost(B/C) model used to indicate the effects of economic valuation. B/C model is based on the sub-models which are Benefit Cost Ratio(BCR), Net Present Value(NPV) and Internal Ration of Return(IRR). First, the Sum of Incremental Benefit and Cost for total vessel by year in Artificial Fish Reef Area(AFRA) estimated 2,381 million won. And then, using 5.5% discounting rates and the survey data, the sub-models showed economically feasible in the all of analysis and analyzed the results as follows. BCR is 2.66, NPV is 28,014million won, and IRR is 22.78%. In conclusion, these results indicated that the artificial fish reef project in Tae-an Marine Ranching would be increase the income of fishermen as well as fish biomass.

This paper to empirical examine the date from 2007 to 2010 China's ODI in 103 countries, found that a lot of overseas theory and experience hypotheses to explain China's ODI is not suitable for a large part. China's outward FDI to the investing countries are the main factors that affect the size and potential of the markets, the open level of market, such as the degree of technological development. But China's enterprises towards the presence of exchange and other financial risks that are not realize. The average wage level, the exchange rate of the traditional FDI determinants influenced the theory and existing research findings conflicting results were obtained. The strategic implications for Korean government and enterprises are as follow: First, China to take advantage of new investment source need to target strategies. Second, the extension of Korea's market should be expanded. Third, the investment environment should be open for the Chinese capital in Korea. Fourth, the response to M&A of China's enterprises should be prepared in advance. Fifth, we should be prepared that compete with foreign manufactured products by China's enterprises.

최근 출산율의 감소와 고령화 추세에 따른 인구구조의 급격한 변화로 인하여 보건의료산업의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 이미 많은 선진국들은 IT관련 산업에서 벗어나 전략산업으로 보건의료(HT: Health technology) 산업을 집중육성하고 있다. 한국도 경제성장을 통하여 소득수준이 향상되면서, 국민들은 건강에 대한 관심이 높아지고 이에따라 보건의료에 대한 국민적 수요가 증대됨으로 인하여 정부차원의 연구개발 투자의 확대가 필요하다.이에 본 연구는 산업연관분석을 이용하여 보건의료산업에 대한 국가 연구개발(R&D: Research and Development) 투자가 국민경제에 미치는 효과를 수치화해보고자 한다. 위 분석은 국가 R&D 투자가 이루어지는 보건의료산업을 내생부분이 아닌 외생화시켜 타 산업분야에 대한 순수한 파급 효과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 보건의료산업의 생산 및 부가가치유발 효과는 공통적으로 부동산 및 사업서비스와 금융 및 보험부문이 높게 나왔다. 이러한 부문은 보건의료산업과 관련이 있는 세부분류를 포함하고 있음을 의미한다. 또한 보건의료산업의 취업유발효과는 도소매부문이 가장 높은 수치를 나타냈으며, 그 뒤를 부동산 및 사업서비스, 농림수산품 부문 순으로 나타났다. 보건의료산업의 전⋅후방 연쇄효과는 평균인 1보다 낮은 수준을 보이고 있는데 이는 보건의료산업이 최종수요적 원시산업의 형태를 가지고 있다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 실제 2009년 보건의료산업 관련 국가 R&D투자금액을 대입하여 보건의료관련 정부연구개발비가 경제에 미치는 생산 및 부가가치 금액을 도출해본 결과 전체산업에 생산유발은 약 4,932억원, 부가가치유발은 약 2,163억원의 경제적 파급효과를 미치는 것으로 분석되었다.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this paper is to estimate expected effects on traffic operational and economic aspects of 2+1 roads application in Korea. METHODS : Micro simulation study using VISSIM 5.0 was used to analyze the operation efficiency of 2+1 roads compared to two-lane highways and four-lane highways. Some scenarios for various traffic volumes were set up in order to analyze the effect of 2+1 roads under various traffic situations. Also imaginary road networks were set up for each type of roads. The MOEs to measure the operation efficiency were selected with average travel speed and delay. For analyzing economic effect of 2+1 roads, construction cost of a specific imaginary 2+1 road was compared to construction cost of a four-lane highway with same conditions. RESULTS: The results of study show that a 2+1 road is more effective with 19 percents higher average travel speed and 39 percents lower average delay than a two-lane highway. In the economic analysis, construction costs to construct a 2+1 road are saved as approximately 26.4~40.7 percents when compared to construction of four-lane highway. CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that 2+1 roads can improve the traffic operational level of service for two-lane highways and 2+1 roads can be applied as an effective design alternative for higher-volume two-lane highways in Korea.

SW industry is important at entire industry in Korea and also one of new growth engine industry. This paper deals with the economic effect of SW industry through input-output analysis. We reconstruct the SW industry by extracting and combining SW portion from other industries of the inter-industry relation table. We obtain that production inducement coefficients, value added inducement coefficients, employment inducement coefficients, and job position inducement coefficients are higher than average inducement coefficients of all industries.

The objective of this study was to identify the effects of various environmental effects associated with performance testing results in pig population of domestic pig breeding farms. Performance test data collected from 2,000 to 2,010 were a total of 265,901 heads. By breeds, data consisted of Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire. Environmental factors considered in models were breed, sex, farm, year of test, season of test, and parity. Broad range of age at testing day averaged at 155 days of age were grouped as A (up to 140 days) B (141~150 days), C (151~160 days), D (161~170 days), and E (greater than 170 days). Traits analyzed were ADG, days to 90 ㎏, end weight (body weight at the test day), rib eye area, back fat thickness. Age group effects were all significant for all the traits studied (p<0.05). As ages at test day get greater, ADG, days to 90 ㎏ and end weight tended to be greater while ultrasound measures of rib eye area and back fat thickness tended to be less. This would be the results of linear age adjustments on ultrasound measures, that caused overestimation in younger age groups and underestimation in older age groups than in average age group (C). This was evidenced by looking at ultrasound measures before linear age adjustments were applied. We conclude that, for more accurate performance testing, testing within guided age interval should be abided. And further researches should be made on biologically justifiable methods of age adjustments especially for ultrasound measures.

For rebuilding and managing fish stocks and fisheries, the biological and socioeconomic evaluations on fisheries management regulations are important. This study aimed to estimate the economic effectiveness of different mesh sizes in the yellow croaker gillnet fishery. In particular, by comparing economic effects of mesh sizes, 50mm and 52mm, it aimed to provide the economic validity for increasing mesh sizes. Analytical results showed that the fishing revenue was higher in the vessels using a mesh size over 52mm than that in the vessels using a mesh size less than 50mm. In addition, the effect of fishing cost reduction was also larger in the vessels using a mesh size over 52mm than that in the vessels using a mesh size less than 50mm.

Technical Barriers to International Trade are emerging as main non-tariff barriers and so MRA is getting widespread. In addition, a significant amount in international trade occurs as intra-industry trade instead of inter-industry trade. Based on the cost reduction of testing and certification except many other effects of MRA, we compute the economic impact of MRA quantitatively. First, we use a Cournot model for intra-industry trade to compute the effect of trade balance caused by the cost reduction of testing and certification. Second, we estimate the effect on production inducement, value added inducement and employment inducement via input-output analysis.

香港和澳门在政治稳定的基础上今后相当时期内、可望维持经济发展。 特别香港、澳门经济是在与中国大陆签署了CEPA的基础上、对中国经济将加速结合。但是、这并不会造成任何问题都可以看到。2006年、在澳门当地能够见反中示威者、在香港普通话的使用只是没有达到完美的程度。不过在“一国两制”的独特经济体系维持、香港与澳门的经济将来是非常光明的展望。尤其是香港、一个彻底的市场经济似乎不断保证、作为一个国际商业和金融中心。而且、基于赌场业的澳门的经济预计将持续下去、由于强化市场营销与服务和基础设施的热潮继续扩大。与中国经济一体化在中国政府的积极努力、可望加快。今后、中国政府积极努力港澳扩大进入在珠江三角洲经济区的一直、通过港珠澳大桥、广州-深圳-香港高速铁路等等各种各类基础设施建设。这是珠江三角洲地区一直在推动产业升级。特别是、通过的2005年7月泛珠三角区域合作发展规划纲要、珠江三角洲和香港/澳门加快进一步一体化进程。

Incheon Port has many advantages for import of log and timber for furniture. More than 50% of lumber which was imported is through Incheon Port. However, most companies move and set up their business by taking lease of workshop. Because of expensive cost of transportation, it is suggested to construct a lumber Industrial district in the North Port in Incheon. By researching the national plans about the North Port and Incheon Ports, an adequate acquaintance of lumber industry in Incheon has been realized. ills study conducted the economic effect analysis for lumber industry clustering and the necessity of cluster composition is derived. Then effectiveness analysis for lumber industry cluster composition is sequentially operated.
