Housing prices are closely related to various variables that indicate macroeconomic conditions. In this paper, empirical analysis based on data is performed referring to previous studies. Focusing on the policy interest rate among the factors affecting the housing price, the non-linear impulse responses of other variables to the interest rate shock are analyzed. Using the random forest algorithm, the variable importance scores of the macroeconomic variables presented in the previous studies are calculated. After selecting the variables through this process, the impulse responses are calculated using a model that can capture non-linearity. According to the model, the responses of housing prices to the policy rate is only significant when the rate is raised. Especially, the impulse response is amplified when the shock increases due to the non-linear characteristics that can not be captured by the traditional VAR methodology. The analysis results suggest that the interest rate as a policy instrument should be approached from a more cautious perspective.

증권의 가격형성에 유리한 뉴스와 불리한 뉴스가 도착할 때 이 뉴스가 주가의 변동성에 미치는 영향의 정도는 차이가 있다. 불리한 뉴스가 변동성에 미치는 영향도가 유리한 뉴스가 변동성에 미치는 영향도보다 크다. 따라서 불리한 뉴스가 발생할 때 형성되는 변동성의 양이 유리한 뉴스의 도착시보다 크다. 그리고 충격의 크기에 따라 이 충격이 야기하는 변동성의 양의 크기에도 차이가 존재한다. 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정은 유리한 뉴스와 불리한 뉴스를 대칭적으로 반영하고 있다. 이 뉴스들을 비대칭적으로 포착하는 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정의 모형들을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 뉴스의 비대칭성과 규모를 적절히 포착하고 있는 모형들이 비선형 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정, 지수 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정과 정보 포착 자기회귀 조건부 이분간 과정임이 발견되었다. 이 중 비선형 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정이 가장 좋은 모형으로 보인다. 비선형 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정의 경우 예측오차의 승멱(power)이 약 1.5이다. 따라서 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산 과정의 예측오차의 승멱인 2에 비하여 작다. 이 사실은 일반 자기회귀 조건부 이분산의 예측오차의 승멱이 과도하게 측정되고 없음을 알 수 있다. 뉴스의 비대칭성과 규모를 반영하고 있는 모형들은 한결같이 예측오차의 크기에 적절한 가중치를 부여하여 예측오차의 크기를 조정하고 있다. 이 모형의 성질과 실증분석의 결과에 의하여 예측오차의 승멱은 2 이하로 수정하여 사용해야 한다는 점이 시사되고 있다. 음의 충격이 양의 충격보다 주가의 변동성을 크게 하고 없음이 발견되었다. 주가형성에 유리한 뉴스와 불리한 뉴스가 주가의 변동성에 미치는 영향의 차이와 충격의 중대성을 양으로 표시하는 규모의 차이를 반영해주는 변수들의 추정된 계수가 미국과 일본보다 절대값에 있어서 상당히 작다. 이 현상은 뉴스의 비대칭성과 규모보다는 발생하는 충격, 즉 뉴스 자체에 보다 민감하게 반응하고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 물론 투자자들이 뉴스의 비대칭성과 규모를 완전히 무시하고 투자활동을 전개하고 있다는 것을 의미하는 것은 아니다.

This paper investigates how firms adjust wages, employment and hours in response to demand shifts. It focuses on rigidities and asymmetries in such adjustments. Major findings are as follows. First, wage adjustments are fairly small compared with worker adjustments. Second, wage adjustments are asymmetric with respect to sales growth: there is no responsiveness of wage growth when sales are declining, while adjustments are significantly positive when sales are rising. On the contrary, worker adjustments are symmetric with respect to demand shifts. Third, while workers are linearly adjusted to the sales growth, some nonlinearity is observed in the wage adjustment. Fourth, hours are generally nonresponsive to demand shocks. Finally, union firms cut wages rather than workers in the face of negative demand shocks.

A bumper beam plays the important role of absorbing the bulk of bumper impact energy, so it is extremely important to determine the bumper beam section during the initial stage of car development process. This paper uses the Intermediate Response Surface Models (IRSM) technique for the bumper beam section optimization. By using this method, the nonlinear impact force-deflection curve is changed to an approximated curve. This can avoid the excessive 3D nonlinear FEM analysis during the optimization process. Then, the accuracy of the IRSM models is examined by comparing their results with those of the 3D nonlinear FEM. Finally it is shown that the proposed approach is effective to design the 2.5mph vehicle bumper section.

본 연구에서는 IMF 구제금융도입과 관련된 일련의 사건들이 우리나라 금융기관 주가에 미친 영향을 분석하여 금융기관에 대한 시장전망의 추이를 알아보았다. IMF 구제금융도입은 궁극적으로 안정된 금융시스템을 추구한다는 (+)의 효과와 금융기관구조조정에 따른 규제와 이에 드는 비용으로 인한 (-)의 효과가 혼재되어 있다. IMF 구제금융도입과 이에 따른 제도정비에 금융기관 주가가 보인 반응을 살펴보기 위하여 IMF 긴급구제금융요청, 구제금융지원협상 타결, 금융개혁관련법안 국회통과, 외채협상타결, 기업구조조정 관련법안 국회통과 등 5개를 사건일1, 2, 3, 4, 5로 하여 사건연구방법에 의하여 분석하였는데 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 사건일 1, 2, 3, 4에서는 누적평균초과수익률이 유의한 (-)의 반응을 보여 금융기관의 기업가치에 관한 부정적 반응이 나타났다. 그러나 사건일5(기업구조조정 관련법안 국회통과)를 계기로 누적평균초과수익률이 유의적이지는 않지만 (+)의 반응으로 반전되고 있어 금융기관에 대한 시장전망이 나아짐을 보여주었다. 둘째, 누적평균초과수익률이 일반은행과 다른 업종(증권, 종금, 보험)간에는 유의한 차이가 있었으나 다른 업종(증권, 종금, 보험)간에는 유의한 차이가 없었으며 금융기관의 누적초과수익률이 자기자본비율과 유의한 (+)의 선형관계로 나타나지 않아 IMF 충격으로 시장효율성이 저하된 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이 또한 사건일5(기업구조조정 관련법안 국회통과)를 계기로 강력한 구조조정과정을 겪고 있는 종합금융회사를 제외하고는 누적초과수익률이 자기자본비율과 유의적이지는 않지만 (+)의 반응이 보여 시간이 경과함에 따라 IMF 충격으로 야기된 비효율적인 시장반응이 개선되고 있음이 밝혀졌다.

A nonlinear dynamic response structural optimization process is proposed for the television (TV) packing system that protects the damage from a drop situation using the equivalent static loads (ESLs). Topology optimization using ESLs is carried out for conceptual design, and shape optimization using stress ESLs for a virtual model is performed for detailed design. Stress ESLs are static loads that generate the same displacement as well as the stress fields of linear static analysis as those of nonlinear dynamic analysis. Thus, the response of nonlinear dynamic analysis can be utilized as a constraint in the linear static structural optimization. An actual example is solved to validate the process. The drop test of a television packaging system is analyzed by LS-DYNA, and NASTRAN is used for optimization.

Nonlinear dynamic analysis is generally used in automobile crash analysis and structural optimization considering crashworthiness uses the results of nonlinear dynamic analysis. Automobile crash optimization has high nonlinearity and difficulty in calculating sensitivity. Recently the equivalent static load (ESL) method has been proposed in order to overcome these difficulties. The ESL is the static load set generating the same displacement field as the nonlinear dynamic displacement field at each time step in dynamic analysis. From various researches regarding the ESL method, it has been proved that the ESL method is fairly useful. The ESL method can mathematically optimize a crash optimization problem through nonlinear analysis and well developed static optimization. The ESL is applied to nonlinear dynamic structural optimization of the automobile frontal impact problem. An automobile bumper is optimized. The mass of the structure is minimized while some constraints are satisfied.

Trans-esterification behavior of polycarbonate/poly(butylene terephthalate) (PC/PBT) blends was investigated during the melt mixing process. Rheological and fracture behaviors, and fracture morphology were also investigated as a function of PC/PBT blend ratio. Based on FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$ results, a trans-esterification reaction was confirmed to occur between PC and PBT during the melt mixing process. The melt index(MI) decreased with increased PC content, indicating the higher flow resistance of PC. The storage and loss moduli were increased by increasing the PC loading, and the PC/PBT blends were rheologically incompatible based on the Cole-Cole plot. The tensile property increased linearly with the increased PC content. However, the impact strength increased until 50 wt% of PC loading, notably around $30{\sim}40wt%$, and then was levelled off at 50 wt%. Rough ridges were formed on the impact fracture surfaces above the 40 wt% of PC content, supporting the observed higher impact strength in this range.

This study stems from a question, "How should we understand the pattern of the Korean economy after the 1990s?" Among various analytic methods applicable, this study chooses a Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) with long-run restrictions, identifies diverse impacts that gave rise to the current status of the Korean economy, and differentiates relative contributions of those impacts. To that end, SVAR is applied to four economic models; Blanchard and Quah (1989)'s 2-variable model, its 3-variable extensions, and the two other New Keynesian type linear models modified from Stock and Watson (2002). Especially, the latter two models are devised to reflect the recent transitions in the determination of foreign exchange rate (from a fixed rate regime to a flexible rate one) as well as the monetary policy rule (from aggregate targeting to inflation targeting). When organizing the assumed results in the form of impulse response and forecasting error variance decomposition, two common denominators are found as follows. First, changes in the rate of economic growth are mainly attributable to the impact on productivity, and such trend has grown strong since the 2000s, which indicates that Korea's economic growth since the 2000s has been closely associated with its potential growth rate. Second, the magnitude or consistency of impact responses tends to have subsided since the 2000s. Given Korea's high dependence on trade, it is possible that low interest rates, low inflation, steady growth, and the economic emergence of China as a world player have helped secure capital and demand for export and import, which therefore might reduced the impact of each sector on overall economic status. Despite the fact that a diverse mixture of models and impacts has been used for analysis, always two common findings are observed in the result. Therefore, it can be concluded that the decreased rate of economic growth of Korea since 2000 appears to be on the same track as the decrease in Korea's potential growth rate. The contents of this paper are constructed as follows: The second section observes the recent trend of the economic development of Korea and related Korean articles, which might help in clearly defining the scope and analytic methodology of this study. The third section provides an analysis model to be used in this study, which is Structural VAR as mentioned above. Variables used, estimation equations, and identification conditions of impacts are explained. The fourth section reports estimation results derived by the previously introduced model, and the fifth section concludes.

In 3D gaming environment, it is important to simulate the physically plausible behaviors of gaming objects in real time. In particular, rigid body dynamics consists in the heart of most game physics. In this paper, we present a constraint-based rigid body simulation method using continuous collision detection as a collision detection method, and LCP formulation as a collision response method. The continuous collision detection method never misses any collisions and thus is able to accurately report the first time of collision as well as its associated colliding features. Moreover, since the number of colliding features is typically low, it also reduces the complexity in the LCP formulation.
