1990년대 중반이후 정보통신의 발달에 의한 인터넷의 활용이 전세계적으로 급속히 팽창하면서 사이버마켓이라는 새로운 시장형태하에서 전자상거래가 급속히 성장하고 있다. 인터넷 전자상거래의 성장은 기존의 유통구조를 오프라인으로부터 온라인으로 전환시키고 물류체계까지 변화시키고 있다. 전자상거래의 경우 인터넷과 같은 정보시스템의 발달에 의해 독자적으로 성장할 수 있는 것은 아니며, 실제거래를 위한 물류와 연계해서만이 가능하다. 따라서 전자상거래의 급속한 성장과 더불어 문전배송서비스(door-to-door delivery service)가 가능한 택배서비스가 급속히 증가하고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 도시내에서의 전자상거래에 의한 택배서비스시장 환경변화를 고려하여 전자상거래를 촉진시키는 어떤 요인이 택배서비스에 영향을 미치고 성장에 중요한 역할을 하는지를 파악해 보는 것도 흥미있는 일이라 하겠다. 본 연구는 시계열데이터를 이용하여 전자상거래에 의한 택배서비스시장의 상관관계를 검토하고 전자에 의한 후자의 성장요인을 분석해 보는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서는 택배서비스시장의 성장요인을 시장내부의 내적요인과 외부의 외적요인으로 구분하고, 외적요인을 다시 교통요인과 사회경제적 요인으로 구분하여 전자상거래를 사회경제적 요인으로 간주하였다. 그리고 이 사회경제적 요인으로서의 전자상거래에 의한 택배서비스시장의 인과관계성을 그랜저-심즈(Granger-Sims) 인과관계검정을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 한국의 전자상거래는 EDI(전자문서교환)도입업체수, 인터넷 쇼핑몰수, 인터넷 이용자수, 전자상거래를 위한 법제도 체계 등의 증가에 의해 촉진되었으며, 이에 따라 택배서비스시장도 성장한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 정부주도에 의한 정보화추진이 전자상거래를 촉진시켜 택배서비스시장에 영향을 미친 것으로 분석되었다.

This study analyzed Granger causality between power consumption and production activity in manufacturing sector, by using error correction model. It found that there exists the connection between power consumption and production activity in manufacturing sector. By reflecting the industrial characteristics, it found not only the bilateral causality (power consumption ${\leftrightarrow}$ production activity) in power non-intensive industry, high value-added industry and low value-added industry, but also one-way causality (power consumption ${\rightarrow}$ production activity) in power-intensive industry. These results imply that power demand management policy focusing on efficiency improvement is necessary primarily to minimize negative impacts on production activity, and also stable power supply system is required to meet the increase of power demand.

The paper examined the relationship between total and sector level electricity consumptions and economic growth in Korea for the period of 1980-2009. The results of unit-roots and cointegration tests show that all variables-real GDP, total, primary, manufacture, and service sector electricity consumptions-were not stationary and there were no linear combinations in the long run between electricity consumptions and economic growth. Thus, by using standard Granger-causality test we found that total, primary, and manufacture sector electricity consumptions were Granger-caused by economic growth, not vice versa. This means that causality runs from economic growth to each electricity consumption. However, there is no causal relationship between service sector electricity consumption and economic growth. These results imply that the government policies aimed at reducing electricity consumptions and increasing energy efficiency etc. can be feasible without deterring economic growth in Korea.

Considering the complex structure and high volatility in the shipping market, it is important to investigate the connectedness amongst influencing factors. This study explores the dynamic relationship between supply-demand factors and shipping freight indices. We choose Capesize and Panamax in the bulk carrier market and use quarterly data of GDP, world fleet, BCI, and BPI from 1999 to 2021. Applying the wavelet analysis and wavelet Granger causality test, the simultaneous examination of co-movement and causality between two factors and the shipping market in both the time and frequency domains is achieved. We find that co-movement and causality vary across time and frequencies, thereby existing dynamic relationships between variables. Second, compared to multiple coherencies using demand and supply factors together, partial coherencies indicate noticeable causalities. It implies that analyzing demand and supply factors separately is essential. Finally, shipping freight indices show a high correlation with the demand factor in a good market and with the supply factor in a bad market. Generally, GDP positively leads shipping freights in the recovery phase while the world fleet negatively leads shipping freights in the downturn. The research is meaningful in that the rarely-applied wavelet analysis is adopted in the shipping market and that it gives a reasonable ground to explain the role of supply and/or demand factors in different phases of the market cycle.

This paper analyzes a price discovery process for international crude oils including the WTI, Brent and Dubai. Error correction model is employed considering non-stationarity property of crude oil price and the contemporaneous causality is constructed by graph theory to analyze the short-term causality. The empirical analysis for January 4., 1999 to July 15., 2005 reveals that the Brent price interconnects between the WTI price and the Dubai price. This result implies the substantial influence of the Brent price as a marker oil.

It is known that the domestic and the U.S. stock prices tend to move together as those markets are closely interrelated. In this study, cointegration and causal relationships among the four stock price indexes of KOSPI, KOSDAQ, DOWJONES and NASDAQ are carefully investigated for the period of declining stock prices in the long run. When all indexes move in a similar fashion, cointegration does not exist and the causal linkages between the domestic and the U.S. stock prices appear relatively complex. On the other hand, when the domestic and the V.S. stock prices move in a different manner, cointegration exists and the causal relationships appear relatively simple. NASDAQ is apparently found to lead the domestic stock market in both periods, which is consistent with the actual market situation when the If industry is under recession.

This paper attempted to find implications for water resource management and water quality improvement by analyzing the causal relationship among discharge, water temperature and pollution index, which were expected to have a great effect on water quality with the rise of water temperature and precipitation change as the warming effect in recent years. For this purpose, the unit root test, cointegration test, and Granger causal test were carried out for 10 multi-purpose dams in Korean major water systems using time series data on discharge, water temperature, BOD, COD and DO. It was analyzed that the fluctuation of water temperature affected the pollution index more than the fluctuation of discharge volume. Also, Hapcheon dam and Chungju dam were the best water quality management dams based on the high causal relationship between water quality and discharge. The second rank was Daecheong dam. The third-ranking group were Yongdam and Andong dam, whose causal relationships between water quality and discharge were low. The last group were the remaining five dams.

Causal relations in ontology should be defined based on the inference types necessary to solve problems specific to application as well as domain. In this paper, we present a model to define and extract causal relations for application ontology for Question-Answering (QA) on fault-diagnosis of electronic devices. Causal categories are defined by analyzing generic patterns of QA application; the relations between concepts in the corpus belonging to the causal categories are defined as causal relations. Instances of casual relations are extracted using lexical patterns in the concept definitions of domain, and extended incrementally with information from thesaurus. On the evaluation by domain specialists, our model shows precision of 92.3% in classification of relations and precision of 80.7% in identifying causal relations at the extraction phase.

This paper aims to analyze the causal relationship between exports and regional economic growth based on the provincial data over the period from 1952 to 2004. To reflect the regional and chronical characteristics, this paper divides China into three regions; Eastern, Central and Western regions, and also the whole period into two sub-periods; before and after 1979 when the Open-door policy(ODP) was initiated and applies Granger causality analysis. The Granger causality tests showed that exports Granger cause economic growth in the Eastern region, but not in the Central and Western regions, as a whole. When the period is divided, in the Eastern region, causal relation between the two variables was not found before the Open-door policy. For the second period, however it turns out that exports cause the region's economic growth. This result is consent with the fact that the region has been a main beneficiary of the policy. For the Central region, the tests showed no causality in the pre-ODP period, but significant bidirectional causality in the post-ODP period. Meanwhile, in the Western region, exports turned out causing economic growth significantly before the ODP, while economic growth appeared to causing trade after the ODP.
