Recently there has been insignificant growth in the Korean construction management (CM) market, in comparison to the previous year. However, despite stagnation or even decreasing growth trends, the number of domestic companies participating in the CM market has increased rapidly. As follows, market movements of CM despite trending in stagnant growth or decrease, the market has been increasing firms which entry the market. The reasons for such dynamic change must be examined first, in order to facilitate analysis of its competitive structure. This study aims to examine the market competition structure and analyze the reason for proliferation of companies in the sick CM market. This study employs market concentration ratio and DEA-based Malmquist productivity indices to analyze the competitive structure of the CM market. Results reveal that the CM market has been monopolized by a few companies, but this is gradually changing. In addition, these companies were not productive, but there has been a gradual increase in the productivity index. Therefore, this study, which provides the direction index of the CM market, has implications for all major stakeholders in this market.

Both export and import sides of grain trade market are analyzed and compared in terms of the static levels and dynamic trends to make new empirical inference on the imperfect competition degree. Export concentration level is high compared to import concentration level. And such states have been sustained since 2001 until 2014. Unlike public concerns, the concentration level of export side seems to be easing by small degree. However, the grain trade market remains imperfect competitive market. Furthermore, overall imperfective competition condition over 2002-2014 has been worsened compared to 2001 level. It is because the reduction level of imports concentration is higher than that of the export concentration. Gini and Atkinson Inequality Index based on Lorenz Curve are newly utilized to analyze market concentration level, instead of the commonly used concentration ratio.

Notwithstanding the crucial contribution of international construction industry in the national economy, previous studies on international construction contracts had mainly focused either on trend investigation or market share analysis at a point of time. Fundamentally, the international construction industry is fragmented due to its project-based nature, is heterogeneous that has to involve different firms from diverse fields, and tends to be dynamic according to macroeconomic conditions. Therefore, the combination of static and dynamic analyses is necessary to understand its underlying structure. This study analyzes the market structure of international construction contracts using the data of 9,173 projects awarded by Korean construction firms from 2000 to 2017. Industry-level performance data is analyzed both in static (market concentration) and dynamic (market mobility and instability) methods, and detailed methodology is also provided. Consequently, the static analysis result shows that the competition among Korean construction firms has been more intensified, and the dynamic analysis result indicates that market positions of Korean construction firms are unstable and vulnerable in most of the regions and the sectors. The combination of static and dynamic indices is found to be helpful to understand the underlying aspects of market structure and can be utilized as an effective strategic reference in the highly competitive market.

As the Asian region becomes strategically important in the international construction market, competition among construction firms has been more intense. While existing literature on the Asian construction market have mainly focused on qualitative approaches to market entry strategies and risk assessment, quantitative research to explain the dynamic competitive structure of the market has been rarely conducted. To address this issue, this study analyzes the structure of contract performance in the Asian region based on the data from 3,996 projects awarded to Korean construction firms from 2009 to 2017. In addition, this study applies a mathematical model using both static (market concentration) and dynamic (market mobility and instability) analyses. Consequently, the static analysis indicates that market concentration led by top-four firms tends to be increased, and on the dynamic aspect, the market position of Korean construction firms is recently weakened and fluctuated in most of the Asian regions and the construction sectors. The methodology and result of this paper would be meaningful not only to understand the underlying structure of industry-level performance but also to provide a useful reference for establishing competitive strategies towards the Asian market.

This study analyzed intra-regional disparities by using the concentration index of industrial organization theory. And the range of study is 11 cities in Chungcheongbuk-do province. This study aims to clarify the characteristics of the intra-regional disparities by using concentration ratio(CR) and Herfindahl-Hirschman Index. After the review of previous studies, we intend to study the intra-regional disparities using these two indexes. Target is the bio-health industry that all povinces in South Korea want to develop competitively. In addition the analysis was conducted by dividing the bio-health industry into four detailed fields(pharmaceuticals, medical devices, health functional foods, and cosmetics). These fields are based on the results of the city and county competitiveness-enhancing industry. The research results derived the intra-regional disparities index based on sales, the number of workers, and R&D expenses by detailed field. As a result it was confirmed that the strengths according to the detailed fields differed by region. It can be used as basic data in establishing differentiated industrial development strategies for each region in the future.

The relationship between market structure and social welfare outcomes has received considerable critical attention in the field of competition policy research. In particular, it is necessary to study in greater depth the impact of market power on social welfare in the telecommunications industry, which is highly likely to form a monopolistic market structure. This is because, when market powers are concentrated on few upper carriers, there are negative effects on social welfare due to an excess of profits. Against this background, the present study investigates the relationship between the market structure of the mobile communications industry (the level of market power) and social welfare outcomes (the retail rate cut) through an international comparison. The results demonstrate that both the market structure and competition status of the Korean market have had significant gaps in global trends. It also points out that the monopolistic market structure (when the leading provider has more than 50% of the market share) has significantly negative effects on consumer welfare (the retail price cut). In addition, the findings of this study suggest that the direction of competition policy should focus on not only improving market concentration(HHI), but also on mitigating the monopoly of power of a dominant operator.

This study, tried to describe the corporations and competitiveness of IT industries in Korea and China as well as the general trend in trade using import-export structure. Further, based on trade intensity index, revealed comparative advantage index, Grubel-Lloyd index, constant market share, the trade structure between Korea and China was analyzed for the equipment in the fields of communication, information, broadcasting and their parts. The results are; first, since 2004, China has been catching up with Korea in the number of their companies listed in the global top 500 conglomerates. Second, the trade intensity index increased in 2007 4.57% up from 2002, showing increasingly closer connection between the two countries in the area of communications equipment. Third, according to revealed comparative advantage index, Korea's info-communications equipment seems to comparatively lag behind, but in terms of import-export structure is in the black. Fourth, in recent years, Korean equipment's market share in the Chinese market has been dropped due to the weakening competitiveness and the changing commodity supplies.

본고(本稿)는 산업별(産業別) 시장개방압력(市場開放壓力)과 대응(對應)의 양태(樣態)를 실증정치경제학적(實證政治經濟學的) 접근(接近)을 통해 분석함으로써 한미무역마찰(韓美貿易摩擦)에 대한 정책시사점을 도출하는 데 목적이 있다. 이론적 분석에 있어서는 우선 시장개방(市場開放)을 "국제공공재(國際公共財)"로 정의하고 이에 대한 수요와 공급구조를 정형화함으로써 이론적(理論的) 분석(分析)틀을 제시하였다. 시장개방수요(市場開放需要)는 상대국 시장에서의 기대이득(期待利得), 무임승차자(無賃乘車者)인 제(第)3국(國)에 비한 국제경쟁력 수준, 대정부(對政府) 로비의 강도(强度) 등의 정(正)의 함수(函數), 반면 시장개방의 공급은 시장개방에 따른 기대손실(期待損失)의 부(負)의 함수(函數), 시장개방에 대한 대정부(對政府) 반대(反對)로비 강도(强度)의 정(正)의 함수(函數)로 가설화하였다. 자료분석 결과는 대체로 이론모형(理論模型)의 시사점을 지지하는 것으로 나타났다. 한국의 국내보호율(國內保護率)이 높을수록, 미국내(美國內) 산업집중률(産業集中率), 기술집약도(技術集約度)가 높을수록 미국의 개방압력은 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 개방 후 미국의 시장점유율은 대부분 증가하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 분석결과는 시장개방의 수요결정요인(需要決定要因)이 상대적으로 공급결정요인(供給決定要因)을 압도하는 경향을 보여주었다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)의 주요 정책시사점으로서, 개방압력을 완화시키기 위해서는 시장개방에 따른 기대이득(期待利得)을 낮추고, 개방에 대한 반대를 약화시키기 위해서는 국내기업의 "렌트" 추구(追求) 유인을 사전에 제거할 필요성이 부각되었다.
