The purpose of this study is to investigate the economies of scale and scope in the medical service industry of Korea using the multiple output translog cost function. The results show that the single-product scale economy (SSE) estimated is highly significant and less than one, implying that Korean medical service institutes are on average enjoying the product-specific scale economy in providing their services. In addition, the ray scale economies (RSE) reflects the overall economy of the scale in individual firm, showing less than one. Thus, the medical service industry in Korea is generally operating in the region of increasing returns to scale. The findings provide evidence of the economy of scope, in particular, with the joint production of inpatient and outpatient services as well as inpatient and administrative services.

본 연구의 목적은 두가지 인조섬유 산업, 즉 합성섬유 산업(SITC 266)과 재생섬유 산업(SITC 267)에 있어서, 산업내 무역의 결정요인을 조사하는데 있다. 20개의 주요 인조섬유 수출 국가들을 대상으로 1977, 1982, 1987년의 세 시기에 거힉 자료가 수집되었다. 국제무역 유형을 알아보기 위해 산업내 무역 모델이 사용되었고 종속 변인으로 Grubel-Lloyd지수가 사용되었다. 산업내 무역 을 결정하는 독립변인으로는 국가특성 변인, 국가간 변인, 산업특성 변인의 세 종류가 쓰였다. 국가 특성 변인에는 시장규모, 일인당 소득, 자본-노동 비율 변인들이 사용되었고, 국가간 변인으로는 국가간 거리, 인접국경, 공통언어, 동일 경제블럭 변인들이 사용되었다. 산업특성 변인에는 규모의 경제와 제품차별성 변인들이 쓰였다. 자료의 분석을 위해서는 비선형자승 방법이 이용되었다. 본 연구의 결과, 일인당 소득과 자본-노동의 비율 변인들은 인조섬유의 산업내 무역에 중요하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 시장규모, 국가간 거리, 인접국경, 규모의 경제, 제품차별성 변인들은 모든 시기에 걸켜 산업내 무역에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 공통언어 사용과 동일 경제블럭 변인들도 대부분의 시기에 인조섬유의 산업내 무역에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

대규모 투자와 규모의 경제가 필요한 전력 산업은 지난 40여 년간 한국전력 독점의 공기업 체제로 운영되어왔다. 그러나 최근 규모의 경제를 초과한 한국 전력은 경영효율의 한계에 도달하고 비경제성 문제가 대두되었다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 정부는 정쟁과 선택이라는 시장 원리를 전력산업에 도입시키기로 결정하고 지난 2001년 4월에 한국 전력거래소의 출범과 함께 본격적인 정쟁체제 구축을 진행했다.(중략)

Using a multiproduct translog cost function model, this paper examines the existence or absence of scale and scope economies in Seoul's urban bus industry. The Paper then conceptualizes that the bus firm produces three outputs (city, seat and local bus-kilometers) using low input factors(labor, capital, fuel and maintenance). Using 1996 annual observations for 81 Seoul's bus firms, the equation system consisting of a cost function and three input share equations is estimated with the nonlinear iterative Zellner method. The findings show that the cost function corresponding to a non-homothetic production technology with separability between local bus outputs and inputs adequately represents the structure of cost for Seoul's bus firms, and that the demand lot all input factors is quite inelastic with respect to their own price. On the other hand, nearly all firms experience mild overall economies or scale, but rather marked product-specific economies of scale with respect to all the three outputs. In addition, there appear to be substantial economies or scope associated with the joint production of city and seat bus services, while considerable diseconomies of scope associated with that of city and local bus services. These results indicate that the merger of smaller firms into larger firms with a fleet of approximately 200 buses would result in more cost-efficient bus services.

Most domestic container terminals are lack of container storage capacity compared to the throughput of container. The main reason is the difference between the theoretical capacity applied to the development of terminals and the real capacity of a berth Another reason seems to be the increase of the container crane in number per berth to match the need for the getting larger vessel, which is resulted from the increase of the berth capacity from the start. This study, therefore, aims to suggest the economic size of container yard by comparing the existing one. For this the berth capacity was recalculated, the required yard size derived considering up to 10,000TEU vessel and then cost comparison done.

수자원의 관리적인 측면에서 하천에서 발생하는 재해로부터 자유롭기 위해 치수는 매우 중요하다. 특히 치수사업은 투자를 통해 주어진 제원을 알맞게 분배하고 사업의 타당성과 우선순위를 정하는 객관적인 기준이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 소하천 치수사업을 진행함에 있어 투자효율을 고려하여 치수 경제성 분석을 방법을 제시하고 연구를 수행하였다. 대상지역은 강원도 고성군에 위치한 홍수범람지구 7개 소하천으로 선정하였다. 치수사업에 따른 직접 편익을 계산하기 위해 홍수빈도와 피해액의 관계를 결정하였으며 이를 토대로 유량규모별 피해액을 산정하고 치수시설의 완성 및 유지관리에 필요한 비용을 산정하여 총 사업비를 구체화 시켰다. 경제성 평가기준인 총비용과 그 투자에 대한 총 편익을 비교하기위해 순현가(NPV), 편익/비용비(B/C), 내부수익율(IRR)의 세 가지 기법을 이용하였으며 동일치수사업에 대해서는 B/C비기준에 의한 평가로 경제성 평가를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 연구 구간의 계획 규모를 50년으로 선정하였다.

Using a generalized translog multiproduct cost function model, this paper examines economies of scale and scope in the vertically-integrated Korean railway industry. The paper then conceptualizes that the Korea National Railroad (KNR) produces four outputs (passenger-kilometers, ton-kilometers of freight, average length of passenger trips, and average length of freight haul) using three input factors(labor, fuel and maintenance, and rolling stock and capital). Using time series data collected from the KNR's annual records for the years from 1977 to 2002, the simultaneous equation system consisting of a cost function and two input share equatins is estimated with the Zellner's iterative seemingly unrelated regression. The findings show that the cost function corresponding to a non-Cobb-Douglas, non-homothetic, and non-homogeneous production technology adequately represents the KNR's cost structure. On the other hand, the Korean railway industry experiences sizeable overall scale economies, which result from substantial product-specific scale economies associated with passenger-kilometers and freight ton-kilometers and from scope economies associated with their joint production. In addition, the magnitude of economies of scope is influenced largely by the ratio of passenger trips, and has increased over time as the former has increased while the latter has decreased.

Since 1970 transportation investment has been made rapidly, however the doubt on duplication and overinvestment of transportation facility also has been brought up. Thus the necessity for reasonable estimation of investment scale increases. In this paper various researches related to this subject are reviewed and categorized according to their methodologies, namely, the methodology using international comparison, trend of investment policy and endogenous economy development model. Based on these methodologies, AHP is applied to calculate proper investment scale. The result shows that the budget for satisfying the investment scale is estimated about 19.51~24.49 trillion won. This value is 4.28~9.26 trillion won higher than the proper investment budget established in National Fiscal Management Plan. In the future, it is necessary to establish systematic and efficient transportation investment plan by developing transportation policy model which can assess the economic feasibility, social equity and environmental soundness etc. at the same time.

The hub and spoke network is a critical network-based infrastructure that is widely applied in current transportation and telecommunications systems, including Internets, air transportation networks and highway systems. This main idea of hub location models is to construct a network system which achieves the economy of scale of flows. The main purpose of this study is to introduce new hub location problems that take into account network reliability. Two standard models based on assignment schemes are proposed, and a minimum threshold model is provided as an extension in terms of hub network design. The reliability and interaction potentials of 15 nodes in the U.S. are used to examine model behaviors. According to the type of models and reliability, hubs, and minimum threshold levels, relationships among the flow economy of scale, network costs, and network resiliency are analyzed.

디지털경제는 고객의 시대라 말할 수 있으며 그 사업방식은 기업에서 고객 중심으로 이동하고 있다. 원가와 규모의 경제, 원자재 확보가 주요 중심사였던 대량생산 시대를 넘어 규격과 신뢰성, 내구성, 사후서비스를 강조하며 ISO14000, TQM, QS9000, ISO9000 등의 국제 인증이 강조되던 품질시대도 뒤로하고 글로벌시대를 맞아 차별화 된 제품, 빠른 회전과 신속배달, 개인화 서비스, 편리성, 사용의 용이성을 내용으로 하는 가상고객시대로 치닫는 것이다.
