This study constructs an energy-extended KLEM DB of 35 Korean industries, and estimates the elasticities of substitution under various nesting structures of production technologies. Unlike most existing studies that employed only three inputs, K, L, and E, we applied a dual approach where non-energy intermediate input M is also incorporated as a production input. Our dual approach which extended that of van der Werf (2008)'s 3-input model successfully identified and estimated the multi-nested production functions. We provide the estimates of the elasticities of substitution among 4 different energy sources as well. Our estimation results would be used for energy-environment model building for Korea.

This paper surveys the existing literatures on labor demand of Korea. It has been found that labor and capital are substitutes in Korea and the result holds even if labor is decomposed into white collar and blue collar workers. The elasticity of substitution lies between 0 and 1. It is yet unclear if employment and work hours are substitutes. The reduction of legal work week did not increase employment although decreased work hours. The labor demand elasticity is below 0.5 in the short run. Since mid 1990s, the technological change has shown skill bias and therefore increased demand for skilled labor.

This paper empirically tests the theory that labor demand elasticity of unionized firms would be smaller than that of nonunionized firms, using the Korean firms' panel data for 1990-2009. The major findings are the following: First, the estimates of labor demand elasticity of unionized firms are in the range of 0.34-0.49, less than a half of those of nonunionized firms, hence supporting the theory. Second, the unionized firms are more rigid in dynamic adjustment of employment than nonunionized firms. Finally, there are no significant differences between unionized and nonunionized firms in the elasticity of substitution.

This study analyzes the price elasticities of airline Passenger demand through the 'Stated Preference' technique which uses survey data. Because the domestic airfare has been regulated by the government. it is not easy to derive Price elasticity through the usual regression analysis with aggregate data and thus a special methodology is required for elasticity estimation. Therefore, in this study we estimated the Price elasticities of domestic air passenger demand and the modal share change rates to the alternative modes with logit model and sample enumeration method, by analyzing the survey data on air Passengers' demand behavior about the mode choice between air-rail. air-bus, and air-car. As the results, the estimated price elasticities are in the range of -0.6~-0.9, and rail is mainly chosen as an alternative mode. bus is chosen Partly, and car is barely used.

This study examined the income and price elasticities of tourism demand model by using the ARDL models. This paper used the ARDL & ARDL-RECM model based on the annual number of tourists arrivals, GDP and CPI including tourists from the US, Japan and China entering Korea. First, the income elasticity of the US was inelastic and insensitive necessities for long-run US tourists in the ARDL model. China's income elasticity was elastically sensitive luxuries. Second, the US and China's own price elasticities were very elastic to tourism demand in both models. Third, the US's cross price elasticity showed the relationship between inelastic positive substitutes and inelastic negative complements in China in ARDL model. The cross price elasticities of the US and China showed inelastic positive substitutes in the ARDL-RECM model. Fourth, the coefficients of the error correction term were such that the actual sign and the expected sign of the US and China coincided with the negative sign in the ARDL-RECM model. Therefore, first, it can be established in a tourist policy or tourism strategy through income elasticity. Second, we can improve the quality and differentiation of products, recognizing that Korea's tourism price is more elastic than other markets through price elasticity.

생산요소에 대한 수요탄력성은 생산요소 소득의 분배와 생산자의 생산의사 결정에 중요한 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구는 생산요소데 대한 수요탄력성을 결정하는 요인을 밝히고 실제 생산요소의 수요탄력성을 측정하여 이를 비교하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위해 규모에 대한 보수 체감의 정도를 달리하여 생산요소 간의 대체성, 생산함수의 기술조건, 생산물에 대한 수요탄력성 정도 및 다른 생산요소의 공급관계 등에 따라 생산요소의 수요탄력성이 어떻게 결정되는가를 이론적으로 분석하고 실제 자료를 이용하여 중요한 농업생산요소에 대한 수요함수를 측정하여 탄력성을 제시하였다. 생산요소에 대한 수요의 탄력성은 위에서 밝힌 이론적 근거 외에도 자료의 이용, 가능성 및 그 종류, 추정방법, 외생변수의 수와 종류 및 수요함수의 모형설정 등의 통계적 요인에 의해서도 결정될 것이다.

This research explores the efficiency of social welfare expenditure in Korea by analyzing marginal productivity, scale economies, and elasticity of substitution that could be obtainable from a production function. By virtue of VES production function, such productive indicators are easily identified. If once the efficiency is revealed in the production process, it brings to a positive impact to increase the level of income. Empirical evidences are shown that the public expenditure is operated systematically in comparing with the private one. This is mainly due to the fact that the system of the public sector is well-established. It implies that an operational system for the private sector ought to be built up in a short period of time. Otherwise, increasing in expenditure by a private sector would not be helpful to improve efficiency in the production side. Accordingly, level of income.

Korea Highway Corporation has played a role of the construction and operation of the highway for the past for 40 years. The private sector since the 90s has made highway construction and operation. Central government and local governments were paid at subsidy in least operating income to 1.5896 trillion won for private operators from 2001 to 2008. Thus, Korea Highway Corporation will have important implications for understanding the cost structure. Korea Highway Corporation, a general analysis of the input element is used efficiently. And the operation of labor and capital estimated highly of the substitution elasticities. Korea Highway Corporation are judged to need financial separation of a strategic outsourcing(business) enabled and the construction(maintenance and management) and business institutions. In addition, currently running at highway the operation of institutions combined to configure a new institution, if that institution invigorate the hi-pass, more of the country's highway believe to be increase operational efficiency.

본 연구는 1977년 부터 한국에서 적용된 계절 시간대별 차등요금에 대한 반응성을 분석하기 위하여 각 요금적용시간대에 대한 전력소비의 탄력성을 1987년 1월부터 1992년 12월 까지의 자료를 이용하여 초월대수 비용 함수 (Translog Cost Function)을 이용하여 추정 분석하였다. 추정결과 낮 시간대, 저녁시간대, 밤 시간대에 대한 자기가격탄력성은 산업용(을) 고압 A 수용가의 경우 각각 -0.386, 0.351, -0.114이며, 고압 B 수용가는 각각 -0.095, -0.230, -0.192이었다. 일반적으로 대규모 수용가(고압 B)는 소규모 수용가(고압 A)에 비해 계시별 요금제에 대한 반응성이 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 한편 교차가격 탄력성 산출결과 상호 시간대간에 전력사용량의 대체성이 존재함을 알 수 있다. 즉, 산업용(을) 고압 A 수용가는 낮시간대와 저녁시간대간에 강한 대체성이 나타났으며, 산업용(을) 고압 B 수용가는 저녁시간대와 밤시간대간에 대체성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 계시별 요금제 구조의 변화에 따른 수용가의 반응성을 분석하기 위해 표본기간을 1987년 1월 부터 1989년 12월 까지(기간 I)와 1990년 1월 부터 1992년 12월 까지 (기간 II)로 분리하여 탄력성을 추정하였다. 기간 I에서는 계시별 요금제에 대한 수용가의 반응성이 아주 낮았으나, 기간 II에서는 현저하게 높아졌다. 이러한 결과로 보아 기간 II에서 시행된 1991. 6의 요금구조 개편은 수용가의 반응성을 증가시키는데 크게 기여하였으며, 이에 따라 계절 시간대별 차등 요금제가 부하관리를 위한 효율적인 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

제지 및 판지산업에서 생산원료로 사용되고 있는 펄프가 폐지와 대체가능하다면 폐지의 의무사용량을 늘이는 정책은 매립지문제 뿐만 아니라 산림자원보호와 공해방지 측면에서 효과적인 방안이 될 수 있다. 일반적으로 미국의 제지 및 판지공장에서 사용되는 펄프는 수직적으로 합병된 펄프공장에서 지급되어 중간재로서의 펄프의 시장가격이 존재하지 않기 때문에 펄프와 폐지의 대체탄력성을 측정하기 위하여 펄프량을 이윤이 극대화되는 수준으로 고정시킨 후, 제약이윤함수(制約利潤函數)를 추정한 결과, 펄프와 폐지는 대체가능한 것으로 나타났다.
