The purposes of this study were to a) find out the operational characteristics of the contract-managed highschool foodservice in Seoul, b) investigate the expected level of meal-price and facilities investment cost perceived by contract-managed highschool foodservice managers c) compare the present level and expected level of meal-price and facilities investment cost. From October 12 to November 13 in 2001, the questionnaires were mailed to 249 high schools which was managed by contract foodservice company with respondent rate 40.2%. Data were analyzed using SPSS Win(10.0) for descriptive analysis and one group paired t-test. The results of this study were as follows ; 1. The student enrollment of highschools run by contract-managed foodservice was 1,243 with 72.6% participation rate of school lunch program. The average meal-price was 2,138 won. The average annual period of school foodservice operation was 156.78 days per year. The average contracting period was about 3 years. 2. The average cost concerned in the facilities investment amounts 169,578,180 won at the initial investment and 25,204,092 won at the repairs and maintenance cost in the course of operation. 3. The present level of meal-price and facilities investment cost were respectively 2,136won/meal and 171,157,336.72 won. And expected level of meal-price and amount of facilities investment cost were 2,418.75 won and 121,353,215.19 won. Comparing the present level with the expected level of the meal- price and facilities investment cost, expected level of meal-price was significantly higher than the present level of meal-price(p<.001) and expected level of facilities investment cost was significantly lower than present level of facilities investment cost(p<.001).

The result of variance decomposition through yield of Treasury of 30 year maturity of USA, S&P 500 index, stock price of KEPCO has 76.12% of impulse of KEPCO stock price at short-term horizon, but they have 51.40% at long-term horizon. After one year, they occupy 13.65%, and 33.25%. So their effects are increased. By the way, S&P 500 index and yield of Treasury of 30 year maturity of USA have relatively more effect for forecast of stock price oi KEPCO at short-term & long-term. The yield of Treasury of 30 year maturity of USA more than S&P 500 index have more effect for stock price of KEPCO. It is why. That foreign investors through fall of stock price of USA invest for emerging market is less than movement for emerging market of hedge funds through effect of fall of yield of Treasury of 30 year maturity of USA, according to relative effects for stock price of Korea companies. The result of variance decomposition through won/dollar foreign exchange rate, yield of corporate bond of 3 year maturity, Korea Stock Price index(KOSPI), stock price of KEPCO has 81.33% of impulse of KEPCO stock price at short-term horizon, but they have 41.73% at long-term horizon. After one year, they occupy 23.57% and 34.70%. So their effects are increased. By the way, KOSPI and won/dollar foreign exchange rate have relatively more effect for forecast of stock price of KEPCO at short-term & long-term. The won/dollar foreign exchange rate more than KOSPI have more effect for stock price of KEPCO. It is why. The recovery of economic condition through improvement of company revenue causes of rising of KOSPI. But, if persistence of low interest rate continues, fall of won/dollar foreign exchange rate will be more aggravated. And it will give positive effect for stock price of KEPCO. This gives more positive effect at two main reason. Firstly, through fall of won/dollar foreign exchange rate and rising of credit rating of Korea will be followed. Therefore, foreign investors will invest more funds to Korea. Secondly, inflow of foreign investment funds through profit of won/dollar foreign exchange rate and stock investment will be occurred. If appreciation of won against dollar is forecasted, foreign investors will buy won. Through this won, investors will do investment. Won/dollar foreign exchange rate is affected through external factors of yen/dollar foreign exchange rate, etc. Therefore, the exclusion of instable factors for foreign investors through rising of credit rating of Korea is necessary things.

In this paper, we consider an Inventory system with multi-suppliers. A supply agreement is made with one of the suppliers, to deliver a fixed quantity Q evry review period ； That is, adapting to discounts of under the condition of free addition often implies that the timing and sizes of future replenishment orders are less predetermined. The replenishment decisions for the other supplier are governed by a replenishment policy. This paper, multiple suppliers strategy is a combination of a push system (the main supplier delivers every review period a predetermined quantity Q) and a pull system the replenishment orders placed at other suppliers are governed by replenishment policy. The costs are defined as the sum of the ordering, holding, purchasing and opportunity costs. Based on numerical results, conclusions follow about the division of the replenishment volume among the inventory policy.

This paper examines how Japanese exporters were able to retain their market shares in Korea when the yen appreciated sharply beginning from 1985. The limited decrease in Japan`s share resulted from (1) an opportunistic share-holding pricing strategy of Japanese exporters: they reduced yen prices even further to retain their shares in cases where they were otherwise likely to lose large shares, and (2) inelastic Korean demand. This study focuses on the pricing behavior of Japanese exporters, using Korean import data and information from field interviews. Some factors enabled Japanese exporters to reduce yen prices. Yen costs of imported inputs for Japan`s exports fell, and Japanese exporters squeezed profit margins that existed before the yen appreciated. Some of them even subsidized price reductions with part of the windfall profits that they realized at home because they did not pass on the decrease in cost of imported inputs to domestic consumers. Subsidized price reductions, accompanied by cost reduction efforts, were a long-term strategy of preempting the entry of competitors since cost reduction required time. If the yen appreciates further, Japanese exporters are likely to substitute imported inputs for Japanese domestic value-added or shift to foreign production while reducing yen prices to defend their markets. This paper uses data from the author`s doctoral dissertation at the Harvard Business School, “The Appreciation of the Yen and Japan`s Exports to Korea.”The author received valuable comments from Louis T. Wells, Jr., Alice H. Amsden, and Benjamin-Gomes Casseres, and financial support from the Harvard Business School`s Division of Research for the dissertation.

본(本) 연구(硏究)에서는 한국의 마늘(건(乾), 1접)과 양파(중품, 3.75kg) 가격(價格)에 관해 순환변동치(循環變動値)를 도출하여 순환주기, 방향(方向), 진폭(振幅) 및 요인(要因) 그리고 계절변동 패턴을 비교 분석(分析)하고 이들 작용(作目)의 가격동향(價格動向)을 순환국면별로 비교분석하여 가격안정화 대책을 제시하는데 목적(目的)을 두었다. 그 결과(結果) 다음과 같은 주목(注目)할 사실이 유의적(有意的)으로 밝혀졌다. 1) 마늘가격의 순환변동은 1967년 이후 1986년까지 최저 28개월에서 최고 53개월을 1주기로 6차례 있었다. 상승국면은 평균 20개월간으로 평균주기는 38개월을 보이고 있다. 양파의 순환주기는 최저 21개월에서 최고 47개월간으로 평균 35개월을 1주기로 하고 있어 마늘에서 보다는 약간 짧게 나타나고 있으며 상승국면과 하강국면의 기간은 각각 17.5개월과 16.7개월을 보여 마늘의 경우 하강국면이 상승국면보다 3개월 긴데 비해 양파는 오히려 하강국면이 상승국면보다 1개월 짧게 나타나고 있다. 그러나 이러한 주기현상은 어디까지나 평균개념에서 본 개월수이며 매 주기마다 면밀히 검토하면 각 주기의 기간은 상당한 차이를 보이고 있다. 2) 제1순환에서 제5순환까지의 국면별 공통된 특징은 순환변동치(循環變動値)의 정점(頂點)이 낮으면 하강국면이 상대적으로 짧고 순환변동치의 정점이 높으면 반면에 하강국면(下降局面)이 길고 또한 저점(底點)의 계곡이 깊게 나타나고 있다는 점이다. 이러한 순환변동치의 동향을 마늘재배농가는 깊이 인식하여 차년도(次年度)의 마늘재배에 신중을 기하여 경제적손실(經濟的損失)을 미연에 방지해야 할 것이다. 3) 마늘과 양파의 순환변동기(循環變動期)에서 주목할 것은 1966년 이후 1973년까지는 마늘과 양파의 순환변동치가 서로 반대방향으로 움직이고 있었으나 1975년부터 1985년까지는 약간의 시차(時差)를 두고 같은 방향으로 변동하고 있다는 점이다. 4) 시간적(時間的)으로 순환(循環)이 진행(進行)됨에 따라 진폭(振幅)의 크기가 점점 커지는 발산진동형(發散振動型)으로 가고 생산품(生産品)을 판매하는 유통단계(流通段階)에서 상대적으로 수익상 위험률이 높다. 5) 마늘가격의 계절지수(季節指數) 패턴을 월별(月別)로 보면 6월부터 10월까지 지수값이 100이하를 보여 연평균(年平均)수준을 밑돌고 있고 11월부터 이듬해 5월까지는 평균수준을 넘고 있다. 특히 수확초기인 6월(月)~7월(月) 사이에 가장 낮고 동절기(冬節期)에는 높게 나타나고 있다. 양파의 경우는 5월부터 11월까지 연평균수준을 밑돌고 있고 12월부터 이듬해 4월까지는 높게 나타나고 있다. 한편 계절변동의 등락격차를 20년간 월별 자료에서 구한 표준편차(標準偏差)로 보면 계절적 요인에 의한 가격변동폭은 마늘에서 보다는 양파가 크다. 6) 순환성(循環性)은 공급(供給)측면에서 볼때, 마늘과 양파의 경우, 첫째, 파종된 마늘의 성장조건(成長條件)이 순환성(循環性)을 가지고 변화하여 공급(供給)에 영향을 주고 있다. 즉 8월 하순~9월에 파종하여 5월~6월 상순에 수확하는 난지계(暖地系)마늘과 9월 하순~10월에 파종하여 6月 중순에 수확하는 한지계(寒地系)마늘은 생유기(生有期)인 봄철의 기후(氣候)조건에 따라 단보당(段步當) 수확량이 크게 변화하여 수급(需給)조절이 어려워 가격의 순환성(循環性)이 나타난다고 할 수 있다. 양파의 경우도 9월 하순~10월 하순이 파종기인데 역시 생유기(生有期)인 봄철의 기후조건이 순환성을 띄고 있기 때문이다. 둘째로, 순환성(循環性)을 야기시키는 요인(要因)은 농민(農民)의 경작여부(공급(供給)여부)에 관한 의사결정(意思決定) 과정에서 초과공급(超過供給) 또는 공급부족(供給不足)현상이 나타나기 때문이다. 셋째로, 순환변동(循環變動)의 진폭을 크게 해주는 요인으로 볼 수 있는 것은 마늘의 경우 마늘 생산량에 대한 종자소요량(種子所要量)이 크다는 점이다. 7) 순환국면별(循環局面別)로 마늘가격의 동향을 일반 농산물가격과 일반 소비자물가지수와 비교해 볼때, 주목되는 현상은 첫째, 마늘과 양파의 가격신축성(價格伸縮性)이 일반농산물(一般農産物)의 그것보다 4~5배나 되고 있으며, 둘째, 일반소비자물가지수나 농가판매 가격지수는 시계열적(時系列的)으로 상승폭에는 기복이 다소 있지만 계속증가추세를 보이는데 반해 마늘과 양파가격은 하강국면에 경상가격마저 하락하고 있어 재배농가의 수익성(收益性)이 보장되지 못하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 셋째, 이와 같이 마늘과 양파는 가격등락이 심하기 때문에 유통단계(流通段階)에서의 마진률이 대단히 크며 또한 투기(投機)의 대상(對象)이 될 수 있어 생산자(生産者)와 소비자(消費者)는 시장(市場)에서 불리한 입장에 있다고 하겠다. 8) 1986년산(年産)의 마늘예상적정재배면적(豫想適正栽培面積)은 40천(千)ha인데 실체 재배면적은 44.2천(千)ha에 이르고 있어 10.5% 많은 것으로 기상이 좋을 경우 크게 과잉생산(過剩生産)될 것으로 예상된다. 양파의 경우는 예상적정재배면적이 10.7천(千)ha인데 실제 재배면적은 8.7천(千)ha로 무려 18.7% 적기 때문에 양파값이 높을 것으로 예상된다. 단기대책(短期對策)으로는 마늘의 경우 (1) 공급과잉(供給過剩)으로 소비수요(消費需要)를 늘리는 대책(對策)이 강구되어져야 하며 (2) 성출하기(盛出荷期) 홍수출하에 의한 가격하락방지를 위하여 농안기금(農安基金)을 이용해 출하선도금지원계획(出荷先渡金支援計劃)을 확대실시하고 지원단가도 작년수준보다 높게 정한다. (3) 수출지원제를 모색하여 해외수요를 늘인다. 양파의 경우 (1) 입도선매에 의한 매점을 강력히 규제하여 농민의 피해를 줄인다. (2) 출하조절지원사업을 내실있게 운영하여 초기출하에 따른 농민의 피해를 줄인다. (3) 차기(次期)의 가격 안정을 위해 양파수입을 금지한다. 장기대책(長期對策)으로는 (마늘, 양파) (1) 산업용신수요(産業用新需要)를 포함한 수요예측(需要豫測)에 정도(精度)를 높인다. (2) 가격예시제(價格豫示制)를 실시하여 정부수매를 점진적으로 증대한다. (3) 유통(流通)의 근대화(近代化)를 통해 중간마진폭을 줄인다. (4) 희망재배면적을 사전에 조사하여 적정재배면적으로 유도한다. (5) 농민의 의사결정에 필요한 경영지도를 강화한다. (6) 이원적(二元的)인 재배면적 조사로 정확성을 높이도록 통계제도를 개선한다. (7) 관수시설(灌水施設)을 지원(支援)하고 종자보급 및 재배기술을 강화한다. (8) 수입억제로 농정에 대한 신뢰성을 높인다.

This study applies the Johansen cointegration test and vector error correction model (VECM) to investigate the long-run equilibrium and short-run causality between China Export Containerized Freight Index (CCFI) and China Newbuilding Containership Price index (CNCPI). The empirical results show that there is a long-run cointegration relationship between them. In the long run, an increase in CCFI will drive growth in CNCPI, and similarly, an increase in CNCPI will also drive growth in CCFI. However, in the short term, they have no causal relationship. Our study provides a new perspective for policy making in China’s shipbuilding industry.

This study investigates the problem of outlier detection based on discrete wavelet transform in the context of time series data where the identification and treatment of outliers constitute an important component. An outlier is defined as a data point that deviates so much from the rest of observations within a data sample. In this work we focus on the application of the traditional method suggested by Tukey (1977) for detecting outliers in the closed price series of the Saudi Arabia stock market (Tadawul) between Oct. 2011 and Dec. 2019. The method is applied to the details obtained from the MODWT (Maximal-Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform) of the original series. The result show that the suggested methodology was successful in detecting all of the outliers in the series. The findings of this study suggest that we can model and forecast the volatility of returns from the reconstructed series without outliers using GARCH models. The estimated GARCH volatility model was compared to other asymmetric GARCH models using standard forecast error metrics. It is found that the performance of the standard GARCH model were as good as that of the gjrGARCH model over the out-of-sample forecasts for returns among other GARCH specifications.

This study is concerned with the relationship between firm’s ownership structure and the co-movement of the stock return with the market return. Four different types of firm ownership, including managerial ownership, state ownership, foreign ownership, and concentrated ownership, are among the main features of the company’s governance mechanism and have been separately documemented in the previous research to understand their impact on stock price synchronicity. We constructed the regression model, using stock price synchronicity as the dependent variable and the above four components of ownership structure as explanantory variables. The pooled OLS, the fixed effects model, and the random effects are employed to investigate the outcome of the study. Data used in the reserch are of public firms listed on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE) during the five-year period term from 2015 to 2019. The data sample contains 235 companies from 10 industries with 1135 observations. The results revealed by the fixed effects model, the large ownership and the managerial ownership are found to have adverse effect on the stock price synchronicity, whereas the foreign ownership model is revealed to have positive influence on the stock return co-movement. The effect of the state ownership on the stock price synchronicity is not confirmed.

This paper examines the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on the Philippine stock exchange, peso-dollar rate and retail price of diesel using robust least squares regression and vector autoregression (VAR). The robust least squares regression using MM-estimation method concluded that COVID-19 daily infection has negative and statistically significant effect on the Philippine stock exchange index, pesodollar exchange rate and retail pump price of diesel. This is consistent with the results of correlation diagnostics. As for the VAR model, the lag values of the independent variable disclose significance in explaining the Philippine stock exchange index, peso-dollar exchange rate and retail pump price of diesel. Moreover, in the short run, the impulse response function confirmed relative effect of COVID-19 daily infections and the variance decomposition divulge that COVID-19 daily infections have accounted for only minor portion in explaining fluctuations of the Philippine stock exchange index, peso-dollar exchange and retail pump price of diesel. In the long term, the influence levels off. The Granger causality test suggests that COVID-19 daily infections cause changes in the Philippine stock exchange index and peso-dollar exchange rate in the short run. However, COVID-19 infection has no causal link with retail pump price of diesel.

This study aims to examine the causality between production input and the price of rice in East Java, Indonesia. This study applied a quantitative method to understand in a comprehensive way the correlation between variables. The data used for this study were collected from several sources, including East Java Agriculture Office, Siskaperbapo.com, and Statistics Indonesia (BPS) of East Java. This research was carried out over five years, starting from 2014 to 2018. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) by employing E-Views (version 7). The findings of this study indicated that, in the long run, the population, rice production, and changes in people’s income have a positive effect on price stability, but are inversely proportional if seen in the short term. In comparison, in the long run, farmer exchange rates variable has a negative impact on price stability, and inversely proportional in the short term, which has a positive effect. There are different implications when the people’s income increases and the rice price declines; these have great potential to alleviate poverty in East Java, Indonesia. This is due to the fact that the price stability also concerns the welfare of the community.

Purpose: Management of water is a crucial issue globally and is becoming more critical due to climate change. The purpose of this study is to explore water resource management by considering price and water usage based on river basins and to suggest more efficient residential water demand management in South Korea. Research Design, data, and methodology: This study applied data of water usage and water price of 15 regions in four major river basins by considering up and downstream locations from 1997 to 2017 collected by Ministry of Environment in Korea. This study applied regression analyses, ANOVA, and 2-Way ANOVA to verify its claims. Results: The results found that effects of price on water usage showed significant in many cities. The results also showed that means of water usages differ based on location (upstream and downstream) and river basins. Conclusion: The findings provide important policy and management implications for the improvement of water resource management in terms of demand. The results also indicate that water price should be reconsidered by comparing water price levels with those of OECD countries. Furthermore, the results imply that water management in Korea needs to improve in terms of supply to cope with climate change.
