This study examines the price elasticity of demand for mackerel in the Busan Cooperative Fish Market, the largest wholesale fish market in South Korea. Using a two-stage least squares (2SLS) approach, the analysis addresses endogeneity in pricing by incorporating exogenous environmental variables, such as sea surface temperature (SST) and wind speed. The study estimates demand elasticity for three size categories of mackerel-large, medium, and small-and reveals significant differences across these categories. Large-size mackerel exhibits inelastic demand (-0.875), reflecting its status as a staple product with relatively stable consumer demand. Medium-size mackerel shows highly elastic demand (-2.450), likely due to its role as a substitute for both large and small mackerel. Small-size mackerel also demonstrates high elasticity (-3.444), attributed to its primary use in feed and processing, where demand is particularly sensitive to price changes. Diagnostic tests confirm the validity and relevance of the instrumental variables, with SST and wind speed strongly correlated with price but uncorrelated with consumer demand. These findings highlight the critical role of size-specific market characteristics in shaping price elasticity and provide valuable insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders to better manage mackerel supply and ensure pricing stability.

본 연구에서는 강수량과 기온의 변동에 따른 국내 하천유량의 민감도를 평가하였다. 8개상류 다목적댐 유입량과 기후자료를 이용하여 기후가 유출량 변화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 결과적으로 연유출량의 변화는 강수의 변화에 크게 영향을 받았지만 강수량이 평년에 비해 적고 기온이 높은 연도에서는 기온이 낮은 연도에 비해 연유출량이 더 크게 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 유출변화 특성은 한국의 수자원이 지구온난화로 인한 기온증가 상황에서 가뭄피해에 더 취약해질
