This study aims to theoretically examine the validity of argument that market-opening will improve the audience welfare of media and cultural contents. To accomplish its purpose, first of all, this study classifies the spectrum of approaches on cultural market-opening in Korea. Then, it examines, by the concept of public goods, whether market-opening can bring on economic gains for audience as consumer. Finally, this study inspects the profit and loss for audience as citizen which will be brought on by market-opening on the grounds of democratic value. As a result of this study, the improvement of economic efficiency and competence, the expansion of consumer‘s choices, the preservation of cultural value that the positive approach on market-opening is promising cannot be justified theoretically and logically. Therefore, at least in theoretically, the conclusion that market-opening cannot improve the audience welfare is deduced. However, the objection of market-opening cannot be related to the distorted protectionism of nation culture. On the contrary, this study suggests the condition of market-opening debate must be a opportunity to reconsider and reform of cultural diversity in Korea.

This paper compares the price strategies of Korean internet retailers against those of Korean traditional retailers in regard to books, CD\\`s, cosmetics, softwares, PC and peripherals, and electronic home appliances. The data shows that the average prices of books, CD\\`s, and cosmetics are cheaper in the internet market than in the traditional market when there is a large purchase. However, when there is a small purchase, the average prices of books and CD\\`s are more expensive in the internet market than in the traditional market. In other cases, the difference of the average prices in the two markets was negligible. When there is a large purchase, the dispersion of prices of books is smaller in the internee market than in the traditional market. In other cases, the dispersion of prices is smaller in the internet market than in the traditional market, but the difference was negligible to be statistically significant. The findings imply that internet retailers generally pursue a specialization strategy against traditional retailers by factors other than prices. Internee retailers seem to pursue price competition against traditional retailers only for large purchases in some cheap commodity industries. It is also found that the internet shopping-malls managed or owned by existing traditional retailers or manufactures are rare and are operated dependently on existing distribution channels. The findings also imply that the Internet market begins to be established only in some cheap commodity industries and the Internet market has yet to be generally established in Korea.

Entertainment Industry, with high productivity of added value, is noticed as a major industry leading global economy. Thus the government has been constantly attempting to devise various plans for developing entertainment industry, but the plans are mostly come out according to currently faced issues rather than considering the whole industry interior interaction. We are mainly objective to find a ground for estimating the current entertainment industry status. For this, we borrowed the concept of 'maturity' from various capacity maturity estimation tools. We also analyzed Korean film industry as a representative entertainment industry case to find what and how government intervention has affected on the industry.

P2P 파일공유는 1999년 처음 등장한 이래 저작권 침해로 디지털 콘텐츠 시장을 파괴하는 '해적'으로 간주 되어왔다. 하지만 최근 들어 P2P 시장의 산업적 가능성을 새롭게 주목하는 움직임이 나타나고 있다. 아울러 학계에서는 P2P의 경제적 영향력을 공급자 편향의 시각이 아닌 소비자 측면을 포함한 균형적 관점으로 바라보기 시작했다. 본 연구 역시 균형적 관점에서 P2P를 바라보려는 접근법의 일환으로, P2P 영화파일 공유 이용자들의 영화소비패턴을 실증적으로 살펴보고자 하였다. 실제 P2P 영화파일 공유 이용자들에 대한 설문결과, 이용자들은 단일한 영화소비성향을 가지고 있지 않았으며 다운로드와 극장 관람빈도가 모두 높은 이른바 '얼리어답터'형과 다운로드를 극장관람의 대체재로 여기는 소위 '해적'형이 공존하고 있었다. 이 중 그간 산업계에서 우려하던 해적형의 비율은 10% 정도로 낮았고, 대부분의 P2P 이용자들은 오히려 일반 극장 관람객보다 더 적극적으로 극장소비를 하는 사람들로 영화산업에 긍정적인 기여를 하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 소비자 분석결과는 향후 본격화되고 있는 P2P 다운로드 유료화 시장에 대한 전망을 밝게 하는 것으로, 현재 유료화에 있어 가장 중시해야 할 것은 불법 무료 다운로드에 대한 경계가 아니라, 소비자 편의적인 시스템의 개발임을 시사한다.

Character industry is not only knowledge-based industry chiefly with copyrights but also motive power for creative economy to take a role functionally over the fields of industries because it has industrial characteristic as complement product to promote sale value in manufacturing industry and service industry and increase profit on sales. Since 2003, the national policy related to character has aimed to maximize effect among connected industries, extend its business abroad, enforce copyrights through the improvement of marketing system, develop industrial infrastructure through raising quality of character products. With the result of this policy, the successful cases of connected contents have been crystallized and domestic character industry has stepped up methodically since 2007. It is needed to reset the scales of character industry and industrial stats because there are more know-how of self industry promotion and more related characters through strategy of market departmentalization starting with cartoon, animation, games, novels, movies and musicals. Especially, The Korea government set our target for 'Global Top Five Character Power' since 2009 and has started to carry out to find global star characters, support to establish network among connected industries, diversify promotion channels, and develop licensing business. Particularly, since 2013, There have been prospered the indoor character theme park with time management just like character experimental marketing or Kids cafes using characters, the demand market of digital character focusing on SNS emoticon, and the performance market for character musical consistently. Moreover, The domestic and foreign illegal black markets on off-line have been enlarged, so we need another policy alternative. To prepare for the era of exploding character demand market and diversifying platform, it is needed to set up a solid strategy that is required the elements of policy changes in character industry to vitalize character industry and support new character design and connected contents. the following shows that the elements of policy changes related to the existing policy, the current position of market. Nowadays, the elements of policy changes in domestic character industry are that variety of consumers in the digital character market according to platform diversification, Convergence contents of character goods for the Korean waves, legalization of the illegal black contents market, and controling the tendency of consumers in departmentalized market. This can help find the policy issue entirely deferent with the existing character powers like US, Japan or Europe. In its final analysis, the alternatives are the promotion of models with contract copyrights of domestic and foreign connected contents, the diversification of profit models of platform economy, the additive development of target market related to enlarging the Korean waves, and the strategy of character market for the age-specific tendency according to developing character demand market.

Analyses of the special data sets constructed from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics reveal that, compared with an annual wage measure, survey week wages are significantly counter-cyclically biased due to selecting workers with strong labor market attachment. We also find that survey week wages are more counter-cyclically biased in high-wage industries than in low-wage industries, that is, inter-industry gaps of survey week wages are counter-cyclically biased. Unlike existing longitudinal studies, the current study concludes that real wages are much more procyclical in high-wage industries than in low-wage industries, which is attributed to our adoption of annual wages that is less subject to the selectivity bias. Our finding is consistent with the empirical regularity that real wages are much more procyclical for men than for women, as men are overrepresented in industries with greater real wage procyclicalities. Overall, current results do not support the predictions of segmented labor market theories for the cyclicality of real wages.

본 논문은 RFID/USN 서비스의 국내외 시장 전망 및 적용 사례를 분석하였으며, 향후 서비스를 확대 할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 국내외 RFID/USN 서비스 시장 규모는 기기 시장보다 더 커질 것으로 전망되며, 국방/안보, 항공/항만, 도로/교통, 유통/물류, 산업/건설, 제조/공정, 식품/농수 축산, 의료/보건, 도서/출판, 교육/문화/엔터테인먼트, 보안/방범, 재난/재해/환경 등의 분야에서 다양하게 적용되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. RFID/USN 서비스를 확대하기 위해서는 공공 분야를 중심으로 한 대규모 선도 수요 창출이 선행되어야 하며, 모바일 RFID 등 신규 서비스의 창출 및 활성화를 위한 정책 대안이 마련되어야 한다. 그리고 RFID/USN 서비스의 시장 규모와 보급시기 등을 고려하여 우선적으로 적용해야 할 서비스의 발굴을 확대하고, RFID/USN 도입 성과를 가시화하여 민간의 수요를 촉발할 필요가 있다.
