본 연구에서는 우리나라의 금융자산, 특히 회사채와 주식이 인플레이션과 관련하여 어떠한 행태를 보이는가를 실증적으로 살펴본다. 1976년부터 1992년까지의 기간중 채권 및 주식수익률에 피서가설이 성립하는가의 여부, 주식수익률과 기대인플레이션과 관련된 Fama의 허구성가설 및 Geske & Roll의 역인과성가설 등을 공적분관계검정 및 VAR모형의 예측오차 분산분해등을 통하여 포괄적으로 결정한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 다음과 같은 순서로 진행하였다. 첫째, 단순정태회귀분석을 통하여 우리나라 금융시장에서 주식이나 채권이 기대된 인플레이션이나 예상치 못했던 인플레이션에 대해 얼마나 인플레이션방어수단으로 유효한지를 살펴보았다. 우선, 회사채수익률의 경우 피서가설의 성립을 기각하기 어려웠다. 반면, 주식의 경우에는 피서가설이 성립될 수 없음은 물론이고, 대부분의 선진국가들처럼 기대인플레이션에 주식수익률이 만대방향으로 반응하는 것으로 나타났다. 주식수익률을 설명하는 변수에 예상되는 산업생산증가나 통화량증가를 나타내는 변수들을 추가하여도 주식수익률과 기대인플레이션간의 부의 관계는 여전히 유의적인 것으로 남아있었다. 따라서 파마의 주식수익률과 기대인플레이션간의 허위관계가설은 우리나라 주식시장에서는 적용되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 단순정태분석에서 활용된 여러 회귀식들이 가성적회귀관계(假性的回歸關係)를 나타내는 경우를 확인하기 위하여 공적분관계가 형성되는지를 검정하였다. 그 결과, 회사채수익률과 인플레이션은 공적분관계가설이 기각되지 않았으나, 주식수익률과 기대인플레이션간에는 공적분관계가 나타나지 않았다. 공적분관계에 입각하여 오차수정모형을 추정한 결과, 회사채수익률의 변화는 단기적인 인플레이션의 동태를 예측하는데 있어서 도움을 주지만, 기대인플레이션 및 예상산업생산증가률의 변화는 주식실질수익률의 단기적 동해예측에 개별적으로는 도움이 되지 못하였다. 마지막으로 여러 변수들의 관계를 사전적으로 설정하지 않고 VAR 모형의 오차분해를 통하여 인과관제를 분석한 결과, 주식수익률과 기대인플레이션이 허구적(虛構的)인 관계가 아님을 시사하고 있다. 그러나, 주식수익률변동은 예상산업생산증가에 의하여 어느정도 설명이 가능하고 대부분의 경제변수에 대하여는 외생적인 성격을 강하게 보여주고 있어서, 기대인플레이션과의 인과관계에 있어서도 선행적인 위치를 지지하고 있다.

This study explores the relationships among franchisor's leadership style, franchisee's revenue, and commitment The main purpose of this study is when the causal relationship between leadership style and revenue to determine the mediating effect of commitment and when causal relationship between leadership style and commitment to determine the moderating effect of motivation. The results of the study show that franchisor's leadership styles are significantly related to franchisee's revenue. Although all leadership styles exhibit significant relationships with franchisee's revenue, only achievement oriented leadership style plays a significant role in the formation of franchisee's revenue. The level of franchisee's intrinsic motivation is significantly moderated between franchisor's supportive leadership style and commitment. It is also revealed that commitment exhibit complete or partial mediation effect in the relationships between franchisor's all leadership style and franchisee's revenue. Implications and future research directions are also discussed.

This paper examines a simultaneous determination of corporate control mechanisms, and its effects on firm performance. The corporate control mechanisms considered include the following; insider shareholding, institutional shareholding, the board of directors, dividend policy, and capital structure. This paper applies a simultaneous equation methodology and investigates the interdependence among the corporate control mechanisms. In the first part, the paper finds that firm-level variations of control mechanisms are large across time although average variations are relatively small. These variations are related to one another, which is confirmed by Granger causality test based on dynamic panel autoregression model. More specifically insider shareholding, institutional shareholding and outside director ratio cause each other. With regard to interdependence among the control mechanisms, 2SLS(two stage least squares) regression results show that insider shareholding and institutional shareholding are substitutes while institutional shareholding acts as complements to the ratio of outside members in the board of directors. Then in the second part, the paper examines the relationship between firm performance and corporate governance. Firm performance, measured by Tobin's Q, has a positive association with leverage ratio while that has a negative relation to outside director ratio. This suggests that there may be a room for reforming corporate governance in Korea. Specifically it is necessary to enhance the independence of the outside directors.

Causal questions are prevalent in scientific research, for example, how effective a treatment was for preventing an infectious disease, how much a policy increased utility, or which advertisement would give the highest click rate for a given customer. Causal inference theory in statistics interprets those questions as inferring the effect of a given intervention (treatment or policy) in the data generating process. Causal inference has been used in medicine, public health, and economics; in addition, it has received recent attention as a tool for data-driven decision making processes. Many recent datasets are observational, rather than experimental, which makes the causal inference theory more complex. This review introduces key concepts and recent trends of statistical causal inference in observational studies. We first introduce the Neyman-Rubin's potential outcome framework to formularize from causal questions to average treatment effects as well as discuss popular methods to estimate treatment effects such as propensity score approaches and regression approaches. For recent trends, we briefly discuss (1) conditional (heterogeneous) treatment effects and machine learning-based approaches, (2) curse of dimensionality on the estimation of treatment effect and its remedies, and (3) Pearl's structural causal model to deal with more complex causal relationships and its connection to the Neyman-Rubin's potential outcome model.

The domestic and foreign standards of school libraries suggest that school library should be run to give useful and pleasant experiences to students. This study applies Csikszentmihalyi's 'flow theory' to analyze the relationships between students' flow experience and their satisfaction about school libraries use. The variables selected in this study are students' satisfaction, flow experience, library skill, challenge of library use, types of library use and students' learning styles. The research model is designed by using these 6 variables in this study. The data are collected from 293 students and analyzed by structural equation modeling. The results of this study are as follows: The entire casual relationships show that library skills influence in types of library use, types of library use affect students' learning styles and students' learning styles influence in satisfaction through flow. To improve students' satisfaction about school library use, this study proposes effective ways related to teacher librarians' role performances to expand students' flow experience and increase their library skills.

This paper analyses the relationship between regional economic power defined as GRDP per capita and various socioeconomic variables such as fiscal variables(revenue, expenditure, etc.) as well as nonfiscal variables(population, ratio of old population, unemployment rate, dependency ration) using the pooling data of 16 local governments from 1998 to 2012. To put it concretely, following the Granger causality test, regression analysis has been done with the regional economic power being the dependent and variables which have either one or two direction causality being independent variables. And test of cumulative effects has been done with variables showing statistical significance in the regression analysis. Local tax revenues per capita, expenditures of social development per capita and median age have positive effects, while dependency ratio has negative effect on regional economy. And national subsidy per capita, local tax revenues per capita, expenditures of social development per capita and median age all have cumulative effects on regional economy.

The purpose of this paper is to examine a causal relationship and interaction among payment of education expenses, economic growth, imports and exports. The results of 'the Granger causality test' suggest that payment of education expenses are affected by imports and exports; and the other factors are not related. In addition, payment of education expenses and the relationship among variables confirmed by IRF show that payment of education expenses has a minus(-) effect on exports at the beginning and then it turns into plus(+) as a certain time passes. On the other hand, it has a minus(-) effect on imports at the beginning, and this gradually changes to zero(0). Lastly, it turns out that it has a plus(+) effect on GDP. It is therefore estimated that the demand for high-quality manpower is expected to grow and new investments for education to rise with increases in imports and exports with initial acceleration. The findings show that government education investment in foreign languages and research manpower must take precedence in order to meet the demand for high-quality manpower.

Since Korea has excellent port infrastructure and competitive petrochemical complexes, there is plenty of potential for creating an oil hub in Northeast Asia. In particular, Ship-to-Ship (STS), which creates high added values, contributes greatly to the national economy. In this study, the liquid cargo volumes of chemical industrial products, refined petroleum products, and crude oil were analyzed at the national and regional (Busan, Ulsan, and Yeosu/Gwangyang) levels. Additionally, a Granger causality analysis was performed between imports, exports, and transshipments, in pairs. ADF, PP, and KPSS were analyzed for the unit root test. In addition, the VAR model and expanded VAR model suggested by Toda and Yamamoto were used for further analyses. Findings revealed a difference in Granger causality depending on the region or cargo type. These findings suggest that policies and incentive schemes for ports need to be differentiated according to the region and cargo types. In addition, the different patterns in the relationship between transshipments and import-export petrochemical cargoes should be considered.

Large-scaled hospital information system projects are often delayed than originally planned. Regarding project management, it is necessary to examine main factors triggering the schedule delay and to analyze the causality of such delay. This study tries to find the delay factors and causal relationship between them based on the case of the hospital information system development project by using the grounded theory method. It turned out that 'unrealistic scheduling' affects overall schedule delays like domino phenomenon, and 'poor analysis of existing systems' leads to poor quality of work analysis while 'poor subsystem integrated interface' triggers poor design quality. This study found out the factors affecting the delay of a project, analyzing cause-and-effect relationships between them in the academic side. From the practical view, it shows a solution to minimize delays in the project schedule for each of SI companies, hospitals and project managers.

An aims of this study is to examine substitute or complementary among types of special interest tourism and a causal relationship between total individual tourism demand and each types. Of 500 surveyed respondents in Seoul, 348 was valid to analyse. As statistical analysis method, correlation analysis was utilized for substitute or complementary and Econometrics models were applied for causal relationship. The results of this study demonstrate that agro tourism and ocean tourism lie on substitute which means competitive. Also, ocean tourism has had more impacted on total individual tourism demand than any other types of special interest tourism.
