1980년부터 1992년까지 12년간의 거시경제변수(巨視經濟變數)와 주식수익율자료(株式收益率資料)를 이용하여 한국증권시장(韓國證券市場)에서 생산기저모형(生産基底模型)에 대한 실증적(實證的) 검증(檢證)과 아울러 CAPM, APM 그리고 소비기저모형(消費基底模型)을 검증함으로써 이 모형들의 현실적인 설명력에 대한 비교 분석을 하고자 하였다. 검증에 사용된 모형은 Cochrane(1991,1992)과 BCM(1990) 및 Sharathchandra(1991)등에 의하여 유도된 생산기저모형을 기초로 하였다. 그리고 모수추정(母數推定)과 모형의 타당성(妥當性) 검증(檢證)을 위하여 수단변수(手段變數)를 사용하지않는 무조건부모형(無條件附模型)에서는 ML방법(maximum likelihood method)을 이용하였으며 수단변수를 사용한 조건부모형(條件附模型)의 경우에는 GMM의 추정방법에 의하였다. 검증결과, 실물자산(實物資産)의 투자수익률(投資收益率)이 주식수익률의 움직임과 관계가 높아 자산가격결정모형(資産價格決定模型)으로써 생산기저모형(生産基底模型)이 조건부모형에서나 무조건부모형에서 모두 의미가 있는 것으로 나타나 한국증권시장(韓國證券市場)에 대한 현실적(現實的) 설명력(說明力)이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 한편 CAPM과 APM은 자산가격결정모형으로써 타당성이 있었으나 소비기저모형(消費基底模型)은 모형의 추정계수인 상대위험회피계수(相對危險回避係數)가 비유의적(非有意的)으로 나타났으며 모형의 적합성이 기각(棄却)되었다.

A central bank infers market expectations of future yields based on yield curves. The central bank needs to precisely understand the changes in market expectations of future yields in order to have a more effective monetary policy. This need explains why a range of models have attempted to produce yield curves and market expectations that are as accurate as possible. Alongside the development of bond markets, the interconnectedness between them and macroeconomic factors has deepened, and this has rendered understanding of what macroeconomic variables affect yield curves even more important. However, the existence of various theories about determinants of yields inevitably means that previous studies have applied different macroeconomics variables when estimating yield curves. This indicates model uncertainties and naturally poses a question: Which model better estimates yield curves? Put differently, which variables should be applied to better estimate yield curves? This study employs the Dynamic Nelson-Siegel Model and takes the Bayesian approach to variable selection in order to ensure precision in estimating yield curves and market expectations of future yields. Bayesian variable selection may be an effective estimation method because it is expected to alleviate problems arising from a priori selection of the key variables comprising a model, and because it is a comprehensive approach that efficiently reflects model uncertainties in estimations. A comparison of Bayesian variable selection with the models of previous studies finds that the question of which macroeconomic variables are applied to a model has considerable impact on market expectations of future yields. This shows that model uncertainties exert great influence on the resultant estimates, and that it is reasonable to reflect model uncertainties in the estimation. Those implications are underscored by the superior forecasting performance of Bayesian variable selection models over those models used in previous studies. Therefore, the use of a Bayesian variable selection model is advisable in estimating yield curves and market expectations of yield curves with greater exactitude in consideration of the impact of model uncertainties on the estimation.

This study analyzes the impacts on the M&A and greenfield of macroeconomic variables of home and host countries, after identifying current status and characteristics of the M&A and greenfield related to the entering way of Korean firms in China. Main empirical results are summarize as follows. First, as for foreign exchange variable, the decreased value of Korea won shows the negative correlations with both of the greenfield and M&A. Second, the real interest rate of Korea to measure the cost of capital is not significant statistically. Third, while the host country's stock market index, Shanghai Comprehensive Index, shows the expected negative correlations with the investment in the case of small & medium firm and light industry, it shows the positive correlations which is not consistent with general expectation in the case of large firm and heavy industry. Fourth, the openness of host country shows the positive correlations with both of the greenfield and M&A. Finally, in regard to the M&A, China's GDP to measure the market size of host country is not significant statistically while it shows the strong positive relationship with the greenfield investment.

This paper considers a heterogeneous agent dynamic general equilibrium model and analyzes effects of an increase in labor income tax rate on labor market and the aggregate variables in Korea. The fiscal policy regarding how the government uses the additional tax revenue may take the two forms: 1) general transfer and 2) earned income tax credit (EITC). The model features are as follows: 1) Workers are heterogeneous in their productivity. 2)Labor is indivisible, hence the analysis focuses on the variation in labor supply through the extensive margin in response to a change in fiscal policy. 3) The incomplete markets are introduced, so individual workers can not perfectly insure themselves against risks related to stochastic changes in income or employment status. 4) The model is of general equilibrium, hence it is equiped to analyze the feedback effect of changes in aggregate variables on individual workers' decisions. In the case of general transfer policy, the government equally distributes the additional tax revenue to all workers regardless of their employment states. Under this policy, an increase in the labor income tax rate dampens work incentives of individual workers so that the aggregate employment rate decreases by 1% compared with the benchmark economy. In the case of EITC policy, only employed workers whose labor incomes are below a certain EITC ceiling are eligible for the EITC benefits. Unlike the general transfer policy, the EITC induces low-income workers to participate the labor market to be eligible for EITC benefits. Hence, the aggregate employment rate may increase by 2.7% at the maximum. As the EITC ceiling increases, too many workers can collect the EITC but the benefits per worker becomes too little so that the increase in employment rate is negligible. By and large, this study demonstrates that EITC may effectively raise the aggregate employment rate, and that it can be a useful policy tool in response to the decrease in the labor force due to population aging as observed in Korea recently.

실제(實際)GDP와 잠재(潛在)GDP의 차이로 정의되는 GDP갭의 변화는 경기변동(景氣變動)을 반영하는 동시에 실물경제의 흐름과 물가압력을 연계하는 거시경제변수라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 통상적인 의미의 GDP갭은 경기변동의 근원적(根源的) 요인(要因)(sources of business cycle) 에 대한 설명력이 결여되어 있음을 감안하여 본고(本稿)에서는 주로 경제의 총수요(總需要) 측면에 초점을 맞추어 GDP갭을 추정하였다. 추정된 GDP갭의 변화패턴이 경기변동의 정점(頂點)및 저점(底點)과 거의 일치(一致)하는 동시에 과거 경제운영 과정에서의 주요 정책변화(政策變化)와 일관성(一貫性)을 보이고 있어 현실경제에 대한 설명력이 높은 것으로 평가(評價)된다. 또한 추정된 GDP갭은 수요봉인(需要奉引)에 의한 물가상승(物價上昇)과 밀접하게 연계되어 있으며, 총통화(總通貨) 및 금리(金利)의 변화(變化)와도 높은 상관관계를 나타내고 있다. 경기변동(景氣變動)의 요인(要因)을 수요(需要)측면과 공급(供給)측면으로 구분하여 살펴본 결과 수요변화는 단기적인 성장효과에도 불구하고 장기적(長期的)으로는 물가(物價)에 보다 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 반면, 공급측면의 변화는 장단기(長短期) 모두에 있어서 성장(成長)과 물가(物價)에 지속적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 추정되었다. 또한 물가안정을 위한 총수요긴축(總需要緊縮)에 수반되는 단기적인 성장둔화(成長鈍化) 효과가 상대적으로 큰 것으로 나타나고 있으며, 우리 경제의 높은 해외의존도(海外依存度)로 인하여 해외(海外)로부터의 공급충격에 따른 실물부문(實物部門)의 경기변동이 적지 않았다는 결과가 도출되었다. 이러한 실증분석 결과의 시사점은 (1) 물가안정에 수반되는 경제적(經濟的) 비용(費用)이 크므로 처음부터 물가압력(物價壓力)이 확대되지 않도록 경제(經濟)를 안정적(安定的)으로 운영하는 것이 바람직하며, (2) 자본자유화(資本自由化) 등의 진전으로 실물부문뿐만 아니라 금융부문(金融部門)도 해외(海外)로부터의 공급충격에 직면하게 될 것으로 예상되므로 임금(賃金) 등의 요소비용(要素費用) 안정과 함께 구조조정(構造調整) 및 경쟁(競爭) 촉진(促進) 등을 통하여 경제의 체질(體質)을 개선(改善)하는 노력이 요구된다는 것으로 요약할 수 있다.

This study attempted to identify the effects of macroeconomic variables such as the All Industry Production Index, Consumer Price Index, CD Interest Rate, and KOSPI on apartment lease prices divided into nationwide, Seoul, metropolitan, and region, and to present a methodological prediction model of apartment lease prices by region using Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). According to VAR analysis results, the nationwide apartment lease price index and consumer price index in Lag1 and 2 had a significant effect on the nationwide apartment lease price, and likewise, the Seoul apartment lease price index, the consumer price index, and the CD interest rate in Lag1 and 2 affect the apartment lease price in Seoul. In addition, it was confirmed that the wide-area apartment jeonse price index and the consumer price index had a significant effect on Lag1, and the local apartment jeonse price index and the consumer price index had a significant effect on Lag1. As a result of the establishment of the LSTM prediction model, the predictive power was the highest with RMSE 0.008, MAE 0.006, and R-Suared values of 0.999 for the local apartment lease price prediction model. In the future, it is expected that more meaningful results can be obtained by applying an advanced model based on deep learning, including major policy variables

Now that fiscal soundness is increasingly important influenced by the euro area fiscal crisis, early budget execution has been under the spotlight as a tool for economy control, other than typical expansionary method, such as supplementary budget. Basically, early budget execution is a fiscal policy instrument that reponses to economic fluctuations through modifying the inter-temporal allocation of fiscal expenditure within budget, without affecting fiscal soundness. This study empirically examines how effective the intert-temporal reallocation of fiscal expenditure is in economy control. Using Korea's Consolidated Fiscal data, the size of inter-temporal reallocation of fiscal expenditure is defined as changes of fiscal expenditure for one year excluding seasonal factors and used to explain real economic growth rate, a dependent variable. The result shows that the macroeconomic effect of the inter-temporal reallocation turns out meaningful in general, though some policy time lag exists. Meanwhile, a simulation using macroeconomic model finds that overall effect on economic growth is not large because increase in fiscal expenditure allocation at a certain point of time is canceled by the opposite direction within the same fiscal year. However, the inter-temporal reallocation is found to reduce volatility of key macroeconomic variables so as to contribute to partially stabilizing macroeconomy. In particular, such effect of economic stabilization seems to be highly apparent at the time of financial crisis, but not very noticeable in normal economic cycle.

This study analyzed the long term relationship between the K-REITs' lending rate and interest rate variables based on ARDL (autoregressive distributed lag) and also examined the short term relationship based on the ARDL-ECM model. In the results of the empirical test, there is a co-integration relationship among the K-REITs' lending rate, 3 year government bond (rate), 3 year government bond (rate), corporation bond (rate) (AA-, 3year) and general fund loan rate. This means that the K-REITs' lending rate is related to the long term interest rate. The corporate general fund loan rate has a significant correlation with the K-REITs' lending rate in the long term relation and short term adjustment process. The establishment of a management plan by the REITs considering the trends in the corporate general fund loan rate in the decision making process for finance sector borrowings can be practically helpful for the K-REITs.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the network characteristics of ports and their performance that is represented by port competitiveness for the port operators. The study employs Social Network Analysis (SNA) to evaluate network characteristics comprising four centrality indices. For this research, data from Containerization International Yearbooks for 2006-2011 is used to analyze the service networks of 20 major liner shipping companies. In SNA, nodes (vertices) in the network are the ports and links (edges) in the network are connections realized by vessel movements, such that the liner shipping network determines the port network. In addition, panel regression analysis has been employed to investigate the relationship between port network characteristics and their performance. The results suggest that the four centrality indices identify the roles of the world's major ports from 2006 to 2011 and that port performance is determined not only by macroeconomic variables and service capabilities but also by the eigenvector centrality of ports in networks.

The purpose of this study is to develop the Global Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model (Global CGE Model) in order to produce an economic impact analysis, including prospective obligations for the Post-2012 regime. This model explores the impact of an international emissions trading market and macroeconomic variables such as GNP, consumption, investment, imports and exports, in accordance with potential increased obligations on the Republic of Korea. Distinguishing it from existing studies, this Global CGE Model divides the global community into major economic groups, and in the capacity of the analyzed global model, reflecting the principle nations' macroeconomic indicators through the theoretical approach of endogenous growth theory. Policies such as an emissions trading scheme and carbon tax are reflected in the model. Also, in particular, the model reflects exogenous technological advances. According to this analysis, the stronger the greenhouse gas reductions, the greater the adverse effects on the economy; among macroeconomic indicators that appear, a significant decline is realized in the balance of trade, along with a significant decrease in investment and consumption. Energy dependence, in particular, plays a large role-varying in degree by industry type-, as greenhouse gas reductions would have a greater impact on energy-intensive industries. Furthermore, if Korea, currently recognized as a developing country, is given the obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, competing countries such as China and other developing countries will be given an advantage.
