In this research, we explore the effects of changes in industrial structure due to industrial restructuring on employment and growth in the Korean economy. To that end, we first investigate the impact of industrial restructuring on employment through Lilien's sectoral shift hypothesis, considering the dependence of industrial restructuring on business cycles. As a result of the analysis, we find that changes in the industrial structure have exerted a short-term effect of increasing unemployment, and that the effects of industrial restructuring are even greater during the economic downturn period. In light of these points, Lilien's sectoral shift hypothesis seems to be valid in Korea. Next, we examine the effect of industrial restructuring on economic growth in Korea by analyzing which one, between the Kuznetz hypothesis and the Baumol effect, is dominant. Empirical results reveal that the mid- to long-term effect of industrial restructuring on GDP growth is significant, which is in accordance with the Kuznets hypothesis, where resource allocation along with industrial restructuring to sectors with high productivity spurs economic growth.

To investigate the effects of the addition of Nb and Sn on the recrystallization of Zr- Sn-Nb alloys, both Vickers micro-hardness test and TEP measurement were carried out on cold-worked specimens annealed at various temperatures from $300^{\circ}C$ to 75$0^{\circ}C$. The microstructures of heat treated specimens were analyzed by optical microscope, SEM, and TEM. The study of microhardness and microstructures showed that both recrystallization process and grain growth were retarded as the activation energy was increased by the addition of Nb and Sn. Especially, the addition of Sn was more effective on retarding recrystallization. Precipitates were formed more easily when Nb was added because the solubility of Nb into Zr is lower than that of Sn. However, the recrystallization process was affected more by Sn than Nb because the strain field formed by substitutional Sn repressed the dislocation movement. TEP was increased due to the decrease of electron scattering as recovery and recrystallization were proceeded and saturated when the recrystallization completed. However, when precipitates formed, TEP was increased because the decrease of solute concentration near the precipitates caused the decrease of electron scattering.

목질계 바이오매스는 신재생에너지원에 비해 국내 잠재량이 가장 풍부한 에너지원 가운데 하나이다. 그러나 주요 공급원인 간벌목 부산물의 10%, 폐목재의 1/3 정도만 활용되고 있다. 따라서 향후 관련법제도 개선 및 지원을 통해 바이오매스의 에너지 활용도를 높일 필요가 있다. 목질계 바이오매스를 이용하여 에너지를 생산할 경우 잠재적 기여도는 2005년 신재생에너지 공급량의 29.4%에 달하며, 신재생에너지의 일차에너지 소비대비 2.13%에서 2.76%로 증가시킬 수 있는 잠재력을 갖고 있다. 본 연구는 전국 16개 시도별로 잠재되어 있는 목질계 바이오매스 생산 가능량을 추정하고 이를 바이오열병합발전소의 주연료로 이용할 경우 지역별 경제적 파급효과를 분석해 보았다. 그 결과 경기, 서울, 전남, 경북, 강원, 충남 등에서 파급효과가 크게 나타났다. 지역별 파급효과를 합할 경우 부가가치 파급효과가 15,736억원, 고용효과가 2,630명으로 나타났다.

Contact dermatitis is induced by allergy response from a lot of chemical substances brought on by environmental contamination. In this study, we investigated allergy prevention effect of baicalein which is Scutellaria radix extract. Scutellaria radix is the dried roots of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Labiatae). It has been used in oriental traditional medicine for treatment of fever, diarrhea and inflammation. We have induced allergy by PCL after oral administration of 0 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg baicalein dose for 8 times during 8 days in BALB/c mice and measured ear thickness, IgE level, histamine level, mast cell number and histopathological changes. The ear thickness of the 100 mg/kg baicalein group was thinner than that of the 0 mg/kg baicalein group. IgE level and histamine level of the 100 mg/kg baicalein group were lower than those of 0 mg/kg baicalein group. The number of mast cells of 0 mg/kg baicalein group more than that of 100 mg/kg baicalein group in the ear tissue. In addition, intradermal edema with prominent inflammatory cell infiltration was observed at 0 mg/kg baicalein group more than 100 mg/kg baicalein group in the ear tissue. These results suggest that baicalein has allergy prevention effect in BALB/c mice.

This study is to investigate spatial patterns of urban labor market growth driven by marketization process and its implication for understanding regional uneven development in post-reform China. Using a shift share analysis, it shows that the geography of employment growth in China's industrial labor market has closely interacted with the space economy of industrial output, which in turn indicates a deepening of economic reform. By decomposing net employment growth into output and productivity effects, it is shown that the non-state sector holds rapid growth of both output and productivity and contributes to net employment growth through positive net shifts. On the contrary, this study also presents that the state sector with relative decrease in output and productivity holds employment decline effects during the reform period. Since there is a significant spatial dimension for the trend above, it is contended that labor market dynamics together with space economy of industrial production play an important role in determining regional patterns of economic development. In addition, through situating this investigation in the context of structural and institutional changes in the reform period, our understanding of regional patterns of labor market growth will be much furthered.

This paper analyzes the machine learning predictions of the economic effects of Busan's strategic industries on the employment and income using the Ridge Regression and Lasso Regression models with regulation terms. According to the Ridge estimation and Lasso estimation models of employment, the intelligence information service industry such as the service platform, contents, and smart finance industries and the global tourism industry such as MICE and specialized tourism are predicted to influence on the employment in order. However, the Ridge and Lasso regression model show that the future transportation machine industry does not significantly increase the employment and income since it is the primitive investment industry. The Ridge estimation models of the income show that the intelligence information service industry and global tourism industry are also predicted to influence on the income in order. According to the Lasso estimation models of income, four strategic industries such as the life care, smart maritime, the intelligence machine, and clean tech industry do not influence the income. Furthermore, the future transportation machine industry may influence the income negatively since it is the primitive investment industry. Thus, we have to select the appropriate economic objectives and priorities of industrial policies.

Governments and private companies have established various local entrepreneurial infrastructure institutions in most regions in order to reduce youth unemployment, and boost youth entrepreneurship and regional employment. However, previous studies has been limited to explore the impact of the entrepreneurial infrastructure institutions on the willingness of start-up entrepreneurs. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to fill in the gaps of the research, identify the effect of the entrepreneurial infrastructure institutions on regional employment focusing on the Partner Squares which are entrepreneurial infrastructure institutions in several regions and established by N company, and set a foundation for further research regarding the effectiveness of the entrepreneurial infrastructure institutions. In order to verify the effectiveness of the Partner Squares on the local employment, we use the raw data of the Economically Active Population Survey (Statistics Korea) and analyze the effectiveness by using the Difference-in-Differences model. The main findings are as follows. While the Partner Square Seoul has not statistically influenced on the employment of local youth workers, the Partner Square Busan has increased about 3% of the average number of employees (575 thousand) from May 2017 to July 2019, increasing the number of local youth workers by 17,000. Also, after the establishment of the Partner Square Gwangju, the institution has increased 4,500 local employees, which is about 1.7% of the average number of employees (267,000) from September 2018 to July 2019. This implies that the Partner Squares provide a variety of effective start-up education programs and networks for pre-starters and founders in the region, thereby helping them to grow and boosting the local employment. An important implication is that by using government statistical data, we find roles of entrepreneurial infrastructure institutions to revitalize local economy and employment. In future studies, studies need to be conducted considering various exogenous variables that can affect local employment, such as the government industrial policies and entrepreneurial infrastructure institutions other than the Partner Squares.
