대외무역은 경제성장의 엔진이라는 이 관점은 일찍이 국제무역이론이 형성되기 시작했을 때부터 이미 보편적으로 인정을 받았다. 특히 경제글로벌화의 큰 배경에서 경제발전에 대한 대외무역의 추진역할 이 갈수록 중요해지고 뚜렷해졌다. 일정한 무역규모에서 다른 상품무역구조가 경제발전에 미치는 영향의 차이는 매우 크다. 한중 양국의 상품무역구조가 양국의 경제발전에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는가를 본 연구에서는 주로 논술하고 논증을 한다. 국제 경제의 흐름에 따라 한중 양국은 끊임없이 자체 무역구조를 보완하고 경제 발전을 가속화하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 각 상품의 구성과 부가가치를 보면 기술 함량과 부가가치가 낮은 일차제품은 국제 시장에서 경쟁력이 약하고 기술 함량과 부가가치가 높은 공업완제품은 가치가 높아 국제시장에서 경쟁력이 강하다. 일차제품과 공업완제품이 무역 총액에서 각각 차지하는 비율을 비교하면 국가 무역 구조의 좋고 나쁨을 알 수 있다. 상품무역구조가 국가의 경제발전에 영향을 미치는 반면 무역과 상품무역구조는 밀접한 관련이 있음을 알 수 있다. 이에 따라 일차제품과 공업완제품이 무역에서 각각 차지하는 비중을 따져 국가경제발전을 연구하고 있다.

Purpose - This research is aimed to investigate the impact of the Information and Communication Technology (hereinafter ICT) development index and ICT investment on Indonesian economic growth. Research design, data and methodology - The data used consist of ICT development index, government expenditure on ICT sector, and economic growth from 33 provinces in Indonesia from 2012 to 2015. Based on the Networked Readiness Index published by the World Economic Forum (WEF), Indonesia was ranked 80th among 142 countries in 2012 and had climbed 64th in 2014. This indicates that the businesses in Indonesia have adopted ICTs to increase productivity and expand their activities. Panel data regression analysis is performed to reveal the change of the impact over time in each of the provinces. Result - The ICT development index and government expenditure for ICT have a positive effect on the economic growth of all provinces, although the impact is different in each of the provinces. There is a digital gap between the provinces, especially the large digital gap occurring with DKI Jakarta. The provinces of Eastern Indonesia such as NTT and Papua are still relatively slow in development of ICT. Conclusions - ICT development index and allocation of local government expenditure for ICT have significant effect on economic growth. ICT development index has a bigger role in increasing economic growth.

This research aims to generalize the conceptual basis of precariousness of employment, study the factors and scale of unsustainable of employment in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The concept of precariousness of employment is formed in social and economic studies about 40 years ago, but objective and subjective conditions and forms of unsustainable employment existed before. This study proposes a classification of forms of precariousness of employment on 16 criteria: the duration and timing of agreements, contract terms, the nature of income; the degree of labor autonomy; the level of formality; the level of openness; the level of vulnerability; the conditions of growth of qualification; the level of flexibility; the level of stability; regularity; the severity of the danger of work; in relation to the workplace; the quality of employment, the level of social security. In this research highlighted factors (globalization, demography, migration, structure factors, shadow and informal economy, social development and living standards, unemployment), and systematized certain trends of precariousness of employment, channels and means, forms of manifestation. The empirical analysis identified of the labor potential of the Eurasian countries and new quantitative estimates of the levels of unsustainable employment in the Eurasian Economic Space.

Environmental awareness and its relation to the development of economy has garnered increased attention in recent years. Researchers, over the years, have argued that sustainable development warrants for minimizing environmental degradation since one depends on the other. This study analyzes the relationship between environmental degradation (carbon emission taken as proxy for degradation), economic growth, total energy consumption and industrial production index growth in Bangladesh from year 1998 to 2013. This study uses Vector Autoregression (VAR) Model and variance decomposition of VAR to analyze the effect of these variables on carbon emission and vice-versa. The findings of VAR model suggest that industrial production and GDP per capita has significant relationship with carbon emission. Further analysis through variance decomposition shows carbon emission has consistent impact on industrial production over time, whereas, industrial production has high impact on emission in the short run which fades in the long run which is consistent with Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. Carbon emission rising along with GDP per capita and at the same time having low impact in the long run on industrial index indicates there may be other sources of pollution introduced with the rise in income of the economy over time.

본 연구는 일국의 경제 발전에서 포용적 제도가 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위한 것이다. 이에 미래 경제성장을 견인할 수 있는 인덱스로 게임산업에 주목하고, 독일과 한국의 게임의 제도화 과정과 제도의 차이가 게임산업 발전에 미치는 영향을 비교하였다. 여기서 한국과 독일의 게임제도를 비교 하는 이유는 양국에서 게임은 국가주도에 의해 육성되기 시작하였지만, 현 시점에서 한국과 독일의 게임제도는 첨예하게 대립되고 있다는 점에서, 이러한 차이가 발생하는 주요 지점으로 제도에 주목 할 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구의 결과, 첫째, 게임의 제도화 과정에서 개방적/폐쇄적 연결망은 게임 의 사회적 위상에 영향을 준다. 이로 인해 둘째, 법제도에서 게임 인력은 독일의 경우 아티스트로, 한국의 경우 잠정적으로 중독자(중독생산자)로 분류되며, 인센티브 제도에서도 독일은 게임산업의 수익이 재투자되는 창작자 보호로, 한국은 그 수익이 중독치료를 위한 집단으로 이전되는 징벌적 수탈로 이어지게 된다. 셋째, 이러한 제도적 포용성의 차이는 게임시장 규모의 성장과 창조기업 및 인력의 지역적 유입에 영향을 미치고 있었다. 이같이 유망 산업인 게임산업에 대한 포용성의 상실 은 한국사회가 경제발전의 기회로부터 멀어지는 결과를 가져올 수 있음을 시사한다.

This paper will cover literature review and measure the potential impacts on economic growth and development. Fracking, renewable energy are just a few of the things that have reshaped the energy picture over the past 20 years, how much it will change in the next 20 years and the impacts on the economy will be discussed.

상당한 국가예산이 투입되는 공공목적의 치수사업은 그 성공여부가 국가경제 전반에 걸쳐 큰 영향을 미치는 만큼 보다 정확하고 합리적인 경제성분석 결과를 바탕으로 타당성을 판단해야 한다. 그 동안 국내에서는 치수경제성분석 시 2004년의 치수사업 경제성분석 방법 연구에서 수행되어 개발된 다차원 홍수피해산정법(Multi-Dimension Flood Damage Assessment; MD-FDA)을 바탕으로 치수사업의 경제성 및 타당성을 계량적으로 평가하는데 실무에서 널리 사용되고 있으며, 이는 현재 KDI에서 수행하는 예비타당성조사에서도 채택되어 국내 대표적인 홍수피해산정법이라 할 수 있다.<br>이러한 MD-FDA를 적용하기 위해서는 각종 통계자료뿐만 아니라 토지피복도, 행정구역도, 침수구역도와 같은 GIS 공간자료의 수집 및 구축, 그리고 Spatial Analyst, 3D Analyst 기능 등의 공간분석 과정을 필요로 하며, 이와 더불어 자산분석, 홍수피해액 산정, 경제성분석 등에서 수자원 분야 지식뿐만 아니라 경제학적 지식이 다소 요구된다. 이러한 측면에서 치수경제성분석은 수자원 분야에서 다소 낯선 학문으로 취급되어 왔으며, 적용과정 또한 높은 이해도를 바탕으로 수행하기에는 한계가 있었다.<br>이에 본 연구는 통일된 분석체계를 바탕으로 자동화 실용 목적의 치수경제성분석 시스템(EAF)을 개발하였다. 본 시스템은 치수경제성분석 과정에서 요구되는 정확한 위치정보 탐색을 위하여 GIS 기반으로 설계(stand alone)하였으며, 시스템에서 지원하는 주요 기능은 치수경제성분석 시 필요한 공간데이터의 처리(침수구역도 생성 모듈 포함), 자산분석, 침수편입률 산정, 피해액 산정, 경제성분석이다. 본 연구에서 개발한 MD-FDA 기반의 치수경제성분석 시스템은 향후 치수사업의 경제성 및 타당성을 확인하는 의사결정 단계에서 보다 객관적이고 합리적인 분석도구의 역할을 담당할 것으로 기대한다.

This study has performed comparative analysis on benefit indicators in agricultural irrigation and drainage project cases between Korea and Japan. The irrigation and drainage project with publicity should do economic analysis of direct benefit factors as well as indirect benefit factors. However, traditional economic evaluations are used that benefit factors are lack of consistency and focused on direct benefits. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop indicators for the economic evaluation of irrigation and drainage projects. We conducted a case study between Korea and Japan. The resulting benefit factors was divided into direct factors and indirect factors. The direct benefit factors were increase in income, cost savings. The indirect benefit factors were protection of property due to flooding, agricultural promotion, aesthetic improvement. The implications of this study are that the indicators of economic analysis can be evaluated and easily applied. Moreover, these indicators could promote the feasibility of economic analysis.

Purpose - This paper objectively analyzes the effects of globalization on Zimbabwe’s business and economic development using the Business in Context (BIC) model. Research design, data, and methodology - We employed a qualitative research methodology, following an exploratory secondary research design in this paper. Results - The findings reveal that businesses in Zimbabwe have benefited from globalization as it has drawn investments from international companies in the country. In addition, the business sector is benefiting from the economies of scale realized from the investments made by companies in Africa, East Asia, Europe, and America. However, we also discover that globalization has resulted in the proliferation of cheap sub-standard goods and services from East Asia, and has increased competition between indigenous companies and foreign-owned multinationals. Conclusion - Our findings suggest that globalization has both positive and negative effects on business and economic development in Africa in general, and Zimbabwe in particular. However, we note that the advantages, to a certain extent, outweigh the disadvantages. What, then, could be the way forward for Zimbabwe, in the face of globalization? As a solution, this paper recommends the development of a policy on global associations by the Zimbabwean government, to enhance business and economic development.

This article analyzes the interdependency between nonrenewable marine sand resources and renewable fishery resources by the developed dynamic bioeconomic model. The developed bioeconomic model is applied to a case study of efficient sustainable management for marine sand mining, which adversely affects a valuable blue crab fishery and its habitat in Korea. The socially-efficient extraction plan for marine sand and the time-variant environmental external costs to society in terms of diminished harvest rate of blue crab are determined. To take into account long-term effects from destroyed fishery habitat, a Beverton-Holt age structure model is integrated into the bioeconomic model. The illustrative results reveal that the efficient sand extraction plan is dynamically constrained by the stock size of the blue crab fishery over time. Thus, the dynamic environmental external cost is more realistic resource policy option than the classical fixed external cost for determining socially optimal extraction plans. Additionally, the economic value of bottom habitat, which supports the on- and off-site commercial blue crab fishery is estimated. The empirical results are interpreted with emphasis on guidelines for management policy for marine sand mining.
