The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the patterns of income and household expense arrangements within dual-income families. The data was obtained from the F-GENS Korea Panel Survey of Ochanomizu University. The responses were gathered from both married and unmarried people, primarily in Seoul and the metropolitan area, of ages ranging from 25 to 44. The sample for this study was comprised of data from 399 double-income households. Crosstab and multinominal logistic regression models were used to analyze the data. The results were as follows. First, dual-income families choose a pooling system as their income arrangement. Second, variables determining the income arrangement were the husband's age, school attainment, annual average income, and average working hour per day. Third, variables that affected the household expenses arrangement included the husband's level of schooling attained and the husband’s job type. Fourth, the ideology of the economic community effected both the income and household expenses arrangement.

The controversy over the mad cow disease in Korea can be understood as a demonstration of complex and skeptical public sentiments toward the government that were all mixed with expectations, demands, hope and mistrust. The governments decision to resume the import of American beef turned such expectations into mistrust and public hope into nationwide resistance expressed in the form of candlelight vigils. This phenomenon can not be simply explained as a fear of risks. Concerns over mad cow disease were a trigger but they were riot sufficient cause to explain the nationwide controversy involving all the Koreans. It was mad cow disease that triggered a sharp confrontation between the government trying to stick to its decision to resume the import of American beef and the opponents who were not convinced by the government. In fact, this is not simply an issue of a disease. It is rather a complex issue of the acceptance of risks, the consistency of the government policy, trust in the government, and the public consensus on the government policy. In this context, this study analyzes the controversy over the mad cow disease from the perspectives of risk management, public policy-making, and public trust and social consensus-building.

This study is aimed to provide the primary data about safety of cosmetics products using indirect preference of korean cosmetics customer and numerical comparison of applied area. For this study, we collected 9,879 cosmetics products which were inspected in cosmetics research team from January, 2010 to December, 2012. The domestic cosmetics was 645 cases (6.5%) and Imported cosmetics was 9,234 cases (93.5%). As manufacturing country, the France has 4,342 cases (44.0%) and the next ranking were like those, Germany 1,637 cases (16.6%), U.S.A 1,476 cases (14.9%), Republic of Korea 645 cases (6.5%), Italy 557 cases (5.6%), and etc 1,222 cases (12.4%). By the year, the cases of test cosmetics have decreased from 3,784 cases (2010), 3,394 cases (2011) to 2,701 cases (2012), the relative ratio of common cosmetics part was drop in but the other group (functional cosmetics and hair dye related products) was increased. The largest market share product was Skin care 5,470 cases (55.4%) and the next order was like those, Make up 1,908 cases (19.3%), Hand & Foot 1,026 cases (10.4%), Hair Care 616 cases (6.2%), Bath 361 cases (3.7%), and etc 498 cases (5.0%). In domestic cosmetics, the greatest proportion was Skin care and the others were Hair Care > Makeup > Hand & Foot > Bath, but the proportion was evidently changed in imported cosmetics, Skin care > Makeup > Hand & Foot > Hair Care > Bath. It is necessary to set the priority of the international quality standards to identify trends from domestic consumers directly or indirectly. Compare the ratio of category and human application parts from domestic and imported cosmetics, we utilize leverage as the basis for future-oriented cosmetic safety.

This study purpose to examine the importer's risks that may arise from origin investigation by Customs authorities. We have drawn the important factors affecting the application of FTA preferential tariffs and divided the stages from the conclusion of the contract for the importer to the undergoing origin investigation. In addition, we demonstrate empirically that the risks that arise in areas where importers are difficult to control exist. As a management method of the uncontrollable risk from the importer, we have provided the methods that the seller stipulated the seller's responsibility in the trade contract, prepared for situations in which no one was responsible, and formulated a friendly and cooperative supply chain. Even if the seller's liability is clarified in the contract for sale, the risk of the investigation into the origin of the imported goods is not completely eliminated. This is because, under the current agreement and system, there is no way for the customs authority of the contracting party of the FTA to claim compensation for damages incurred by importers due to breach of agreement such as not returning the result of the origin verification. Importers are subject to customs duties, but there may actually be situations in which no one is responsible for them.

In this study, the domestic supply & demand of the raw materials of 35 rare metals was analyzed categorized as four types - ores, metals, compounds and scraps. Foreign trade volumes of the raw materials of rare metals have been steadily increased, furthermore, recently trade growth rate highly exceeds GDP. The raw materials of rare metals - silicon, nickel, molybdenum, manganese, etc. - for steel industry were the most big part of the raw materials of rare metals trade, while the raw materials of rare metals for electronics industry were imported relatively small volumes less than $100 million. However systematic supply & demand management on the raw materials of rare metals for electronics industry is needed since recently growth rate per year has been remarkably high over 20%. Import volumes were about three times bigger than export scale, and most of the raw materials of rare metals were traded as a metal form.

This study was performed to develop management system of artificial flavor in Korea that considered the usage and management of artificial flavor within or outside (Europe, USA and JECFA) and to offer a yardstick for judgement and prevent from confusing when manufacture or import artificial flavoring substances. In questionnaire survey for flavoring manufacture form, ideal management system and others in companies related artificial flavor, the replier answered that artificial flavor was mainly used to drinks as water soluble from and that the countries exporting flavoring substances most frequently to Korea were Japan. Europe and America sequentially. On the basis of above results, we prepared the positive list (proposal) on about 1800 artificial flavoring substances for application to regulations in Korea Food Additives Code.

본 연구의 목적은 대중교통수단간 환승할인제도를 서울시에서 도입할 경우 할인의 대상적 범위를 확정하고 할인율을 결정하는 것이다. 최적대안을 찾기 위해 서울시 교통혼잡관리를 위해 개발된 SECOMM 모형의 수단 선택패러미터값을 활용한 모의분석방법을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 공간적인 범위를 서울시로 한정했고, 환승 할인 대상에서 마을버스와 좌석버스가 제외하였다. 모의분석결과 서울시에서 단기적으로 시행가능한 환승할인제도는 버스와 지하철간의 환승만을 대상으로 기존 요금을 500원에서 600원으로 100원씩 인상한 상태에서 이후 수단에 대해 30%가지 할인을 해주는 안이 현실적으로 가장 도입가능성이 높은 대안으로 분석되었다. 이 경우 지하철 이용수요는 0.2% 가까이 늘어나는 대신 버스이용자는 다소 감소할 것으로 분석되었으며 연간 802억원에 가까운 요금수입 증대효과가 나타날 것으로 분석되었다. 한편, 요금의 인상이 없을 경우 이후 수단에 대해 30%를 할인해 준다면 (버스-버스 환승할시) 연간 2,000억 이상의 정부지원이 전제되어야하며 그 이상 할인해줄 경우는 적자규모가 급격하게 늘어나기 때문에 현재 운영기관의 재정여건을 감안할 때 도입하기 힘든 대안으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과는 분석시 버스와 지하철의 다양한 요금유형을 충분하게 반영하지 못했고 오전첨두시 데이터로 요금에 대한 민감도가 낮은 문제가 이으며, 모의분석 결과이기 때문에 현실에 적용하는데 있어서는 운영기관 실무진들의 추가적인 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 실행을 위해서는 환승할인이 인정되는 시간간격, 할인 방식, 버스하차시 시간기록장치 설치여부 등이 선결되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, a theoretical model that separates one single conversion factor into two conversion factors for both outpatients and inpatients is introduced. By using hypothetical numbers, two conversion factors and an adjustment factor were calculated. The major implications are as follows. Firstly, by introducing two conversion factors, a minimum incentive mechanism for admitting outpatients to a clinic and high risk inpatients to a hospital was installed. Secondly, the introduction of two conversion factors decreased the drive to admit outpatients to a hospital by reducing the economic benefits for the hospital. Thirdly, it is possible to make explicit contracts for several factors rather than a single conversion factor, so that it can be used as an appropriate management tool for rapidly increasing medical expenses. Finally, this research can be used to set up policy tools to establish a proper healthcare delivery system in Korea by inducing behavioral changes in healthcare institutions.
