This study examines the economic use value of Discover, an access service of research papers and a subsystem of the National Open Access Platform (AccessON). Based on previous literature on scholarly communications and in-depth interviews with 14 academic and industrial researchers, the service value of Discover was identified as the value of time savings. Administering a survey with 1,313 researchers, the following empirical data required for estimation were obtained: for an average Korean researcher, s/he publishes 2.84 papers per year and takes 30.13 minutes in searching and using one relevant research paper. Discover was found to save 5.64 minutes per paper, saving a total of 225 minutes and KRW 99,384 per researcher per year. Finally, a total economic value of Discover was estimated as KRW 82 billion for the entire 8-year business period. An additional value of KRW 11.3 billion was estimated with the legalization of mandatory deposit of OA research papers. The study demonstrates a sufficient economic value of the national OA platform project, and positive economic impact of the OA legalization, futher offering important domestic data for future research on economic value of scholarly communications.

This study focused on the estimation of econcmic value and the evaluation of attitudes toward plans for the establishment of a walking tour as a public service in the city of Gwacheon. A value analysis based upon 152 questionnaires returned by the residents of Gwacheon and 175 questionnaires from the users of Seoul Race Park in Gwacheon utilized a CVM(Contingent Valuation Method) approach to estimate use value, non-use value, and potential value. The results show that 69.8% of residents and 60.0% of Seoul Race Park users had an interest, 81.6% of residents and 89.7% of Seoul Race Park users agreed to the proposed plan, and 67.8% of residents and 69.7% of Seoul Race Park users expressed a willingness to pay an additional tax or admission fee. The estimated WTP for an additional resident tax per household/year is 11,721 won while it was an additional 750 won per admission for the Seoul Race Park user group. Based on these results, the estimated total economic value of all households/year and the user group over a period of 5 years is 9,997 hundred million won, which was a doubling of the 1.4 in value of total construction costs. The results of this study strongly support the establishment of a walking tour street plan as a public service commodity.

This article estimates the total evaluation of the festival and investigates the determinants of visitors' WTP(willingness to pay) for the festival. Hi Seoul Festival is a way to introduce Korean culture to other foreigners as well as to serve as an economic and cultural stimulus for Seoul. A contingent evaluation survey was conducted and a total of 763 useful samples were collected. The results show that the evaluation of the festival were different across three different WTPs which were calculated as 2,846 won, 3,321 won, and 4,838 won. The annual total benefits value is calculated as 433.767 billion Korean won. And visitors' sex and visitors' satisfaction(keep up festival, need to modify) was a important determinants of the WTP for a visit. These findings may provide guidance managers and practitioners who help maintain the Hi festival.

This study attempts to estimate the economic effects of extreme climate events on agriculture with the case of Gangwon-do, drawing upon the Ricardian approach based upon the panel data on extreme climate events, soil and geography, farmland prices, and economic and social variables for the 11 municipal units of Gangwon-do during the period of 1993-2010. Our empirical analysis shows that the heavy rainfall-related extreme climate variable negatively affects the prices of rice paddy and dry farm field. The summer-related extreme temperature variables have negative economic impacts on the land values of both farmlands, while the winter-related ones positively affect them except for the extreme cold wave variable.

We consider the economic value of emergency medical facilities. An emergency medical facility affects the medical environments in a community, and thus the social demand on the facility increases as the demand of qualified public health service increases. Regarding the increased demand and the limited resources of fiscal budget, it is important to scientifically evaluate the social benefit of the public investment on emergency medical facilities, as the results of evaluation can help make better budgetary decision on each public investment project of emergency medical facilities. In this paper, we try to estimate the economic value of emergency medical facilities based upon the estimated changes in preventable death rate by the facility and the statistical value of life. We hope the results contribute to improve the budgetary decision making on the emergency medical facility projects, thus the public health policies.

우리나라의 기후변화연구에서 삼림생태계의 영향과 적응은 가장 중요한 관심사중 하나이다. 지리적 위치와 통일문제 등을 고려할 때, 한반도는 역동적인 개발이 이루어질 지역이며 인구와 경제적 상황의 변화로 삼림 생태계에 급격한 변화가 예상된다. 기후변화의 영향은 이러한 상황을 더욱 복잡하게 만들게 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 이런 영향을 평가하기 위해, IS92a 시나리오의 GCMs(General Circulation Models)결과들을 이용하여 가능한 기온 증가 범위내에서 삼림생태계의 변화를 예측하였다. 변화를 추정하기 위해 AIM/Impact[Korea](the Asian-Pacific Integrated Model) 모형을 이용하여 시기별 Holdridge 생물기후대를 예측하고 목본식물의 이동속도를 고려한 지역삼림의 영향 및 적응 패턴을 분석하여 생태계 변화로 인한 경제적 가치 손실액을 추정하였다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같이 요약된다. 1) 목본식물의 추정 평균이동속도 0.25km/년의 경우, 한반도에서 삼림소실지역은 발생하지 않는 것으로 예측되었다. 그러나 인위적 개입이 없는 경우 고사의 위험이 높은 지역은 남한의 경우 남한 총면적의 14%를 차지하였고, 북한은 18%정도의 면적이 고사 위험이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 남한 고사위험지역의 80%는 난온대림 지역으로 주로 남해일원과 전라도 서해안에서 발생하며, 북한은 고사위험지역의 대부분이 냉온대림지역으로 주로 평안도 내륙지역과 중국 접경지경, 함경남도의 영흥만 북부에서 나타났다. 2) 목본식물의 이동속도 변화에 따라 남한은 매년 0~976백만불, 북한은 0~2,492백만불 범위의 경제적 가치손실이 발생하는 것으로 예측되었다. 또한 목본식물의 추정 평균이동속도가 0.25km/년일 경우, 한반도 전체의 가치손실액은 매년 3,471백만불에 달했으며, 남한의 경우 목본식물의 이동속도가 0.5km/년 이상인 경우 삼림의 경제적 가치 손실은 발생하지 않았다.

소비자예치금제를 도입하는 경우 적정예치금을 설정하기 위해서는 용기재활용에 따른 소비자 불편비용의 산출이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 폐음료용기에 의한 외부효과를 내재화하는 정책적 수단의 하나인 소비자예치금제 동에서 소비자의 용기반환에 따른 불편비용을 추정하는 방법 및 실험적 분석결과를 제시하였다. 비시장재화의 가치평가에 널리 응용되고 있는 가상적 가치평가법(Contigent Valuation Method)을 이용하여 용기반환시 보상받고자 하는 수취의사액, 즉 불편비용에 상응하는 액수를 추정한 결과 용기반환장소 까지의 거리가 멀어짐에 따라 소비자의 불편비용은 증가하고 용기 하나당 평균 16원의 불편비용이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 다차원법과 CVM을 이용하여, 도시홍수 방재시스템의 가치를 추정하였다. 방재사업은 예산의 편성과 집행과정 중에 연기 또는 집행 순서가 변경되기도 한다. 이는 즉각적인 효과가 드러나기 어려운 특징 등 때문에 시민 공감을 얻기에 어려우며, 정치적이고 경제적인 요인 등에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 시민들이 체감하고 있는 방재사업의 가치 규모를 추정하고자 하였다. 정책 공급자들이 홍수 방재 사업의 추진 결정에 참고하는 가치와 시민들이 생각하는 가치를 다차원법과 CVM으로 각각 추정한 결과, 다차원법으로 산정된 가치보다 시민들의 필요 가치가 낮게 추정되었다. 따라서 정책 수요자들의 공감을 이끌어 내기 위한 노력을 지속해야 할 것이다.

Variety methods are applied to estimating the value of a public library. This study explored the methods valuing of a public library focused on the consumer surplus and contingent valuation and measured the direct economic value of a public library by using these methods. 84% of the respondents are perceived that public library impact their life. And the users indicated that they are willing to pay 8,720 won per month to use a public library and 1,470 won to borrow a book from the library. Given reasonable assumptions about the cost of service, users place a value on the use of a public library is 1/3 times, the borrowing a book from the library is 3 times.

As increasing of container throughputs, port business market in Korea has been developed. However, due to the introducing of a handling fee reporting system in 1999 and surplus of facilities, port business market in Korea turned into deadly competition with lowering the handling fee. Due to the reasons, the handling fee in 2015 declined as much as 50% of in 2000. Therefore, this study analyzed whether the handling fee decline caused consumer surplus in the port business market of Korea or not. To do that, this study applied a methodology of Alexander for estimating the consumer surplus and Hausman's model using Hicksian demand. As the result of the analyzing, due to the excessive decreasing of the handling fee compared the import & export demand, consumer surplus of the port business market in Korea was decreased. However, due to the exception of transshipment from demand in this study, transshipment demand is needed to be considered to estimate of economic value of port business market in Korea in the future. Also, economic value of port business including subsidiary businesses will be estimated in order to strengthen the method for estimating economic benefit of port construction.
