수자원 및 수도 시설과 같은 사회간접자본은 경제개발 초기 단계에 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 수행하여 왔다. 우리나라의 경제성장 과정에서 수자원 개발은 "한강의 기적"으로 불리며 한국 경제발전의 중요한 원동력 가운데 하나로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 수자원개발의 경제적 효과를 정량적으로 분석하기 위하여 거시경제모형을 구축하고 실증분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 1977-2014년 동안의 수자원 부문에 대한 자본 스톡을 추정하고 이를 바탕으로 경제성장과의 인과관계를 검정한다. 추정결과, 수자원 투자는 경제성장(GDP)으로의 단방향의 인과성이 존재함을 확인(1%유의 수준)하였다. 외생적 충격으로 수자원 투자가 감소하는 경우 국내 소득(GDP)에 부정적 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사하고 있다. 우리나라의 성공적인 수자원 개발과 경제 발전 경험은 많은 개도국에게 시사점을 제공할 것이다.

Using panel data on freight rates and ship prices in the dry freighter market from January 2015 to December 2019, this study investigates the characteristics of shipping industry fluctuations. The analysis aims at two aspects of academic contribution. First, this study analyzes the relationship between shipping indicators and ship price based on separate dry-bulk ships, while the previous research considered the overall shipping index and weighted average ship prices. Second, the VAR model for the causality test is extended to a heterogeneous mixed panel model capable of limiting coefficients. There is a peak estimated by removing the cross-correlation problem, which is mainly raised in panel data analysis, using bootstrap estimation and solving the problem of information loss due to differences in non-stationary data. An empirical investigation of the causal relationship between economic fluctuations and ship price shows that the effect on the ship price from the freight is significant at the 1% level. This implies that there is a one-way relationship with demand in the shipping industry rather than a bilateral relationship.

The purpose of this investigation is to analyze the synchronization between the representative global freight index, the Baltic Dry bulk Index (BDI) and the China Container Freight Index (CCFI) with monthly data from 2000 to 2016. Using the non-stationarity of the business cycle that is able to include common trends, we employ the Engle-Granger 2 stage co-integration test and found no synchronization. On the contrary, we additionally estimated the causality between the markets and revealed the causality, which implies that the Chinese economy has a significant effect on the global market. The results of this empirical analysis demonstrate that the CCFI of China is appropriate for analyzing the shipping industry. In practice, this means that it is more appropriate to include CCFI in the global market outlook than use it as a substitute for the global freight rate index, the BDI. This is a case study of the synchronization of the economic fluctuations of the shipping industry. It suggests that the economic fluctuations of China need to be considered in the unstable global market forecast. In particular, this case applies to the fluctuations in the shipping industry synchronism and provides important results in scientific terms.

Nuclear power generation is a major power source which accounts for more than 30% of domestic electricity generation. Electricity market needs to secure stability of base load. This study aimed at analyzing relationships between nuclear power generation and wholesale electricity price (SMP: System Marginal Price) in Korea. For this we conducted ARDL(Autoregressive Distributed Lag) approach and Granger causality test. We found that in terms of total effects nuclear power supply had a positive relationship with SMP while nuclear capacity had a negative relationship with SMP. There is a unidirectional Granger causality from nuclear power supply to SMP while the reverse was not. Nuclear power is closely related to SMP and provides useful information for decision making.

This paper investigates the short- and long- run relationship among Korean, U.S. and Japanese construction indices. We conducted the Johansen's cointegration tests on the hypotheses that the construction indices of three countries we related in the long-run as well as in the short-run. The test results show that there exists no long-run relationship among three countrie's construction indices. In addition, the cointegrating relation did not exist for three countrie's stock market indices and five major Korean construction firms. It fumed out that the U.S. indices Granger-causes Japanese and Korean indices. This finding implies that there may exist international diversification benefit through forming a portfolio from these indices.

This papers studies the causalities and effects on the relationship between international trade and economic growth in China for the period of 1950-2007, using the unit root test, the Granger causality test, the cointegration test, VAR model, and VECM. The results of this study are as follows: Firstly, in the unit root test, I found that each time series was unstable one that has unit root. Secondly, in the Granger Causality test, this papers shows that variable dlexp and dlinp influence on dlgdp and dlgdd, while bilateral causality relation between dlexp and dlgdp, dlexp and dlgdd for the whole period, for the whole period, pre-reform period and post-reform period. Thirdly, there is no cointegraion relation between lgdp(or dlgdp, lgdd, dlgdd) and lexp, linp for lgdd-limp in the whole period, and pre-reform period, while no cointegration relation for the post-reform period. Finally, in the impulse-response test, it was proved that lgdp represents (-) correlation with lexp for the whole period. Thorough the variance decomposition test, it was proved that linp(or dlinp) is the most affected variable of the each data and relation between linp(or dlinp) and lexp(or dlexp) has become bigger recently.

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.

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 paper adopts recently developed panel unit root test that is cross-sectionally robust. Cointegration test is also used to find whether regional house prices are in line with gross regional domestic production (GRDP) in the long run in Korea during 1989-2009. Based on the panel VECM and the panel ARDL models, we examine causal relationships among the variables and estimate the long-run elasticity. We find evidence of cointegration and bidirectional causal relationships between regional house prices and GRDP. The results of long-run estimates, using both fixed effect and ARDL models, show that house prices positively and significantly influence on the GRDP and vice versa. Together with these results, the findings of ARDL-ECM imply that there exists a long-run equilibrium relationship between house prices and regional economic variables even if there is a possibility of short-run deviation from its long-run path.

The purpose of this study is to examine relationship between water consumption and economic growth in Korea, and to obtain policy implications of the results. To this end, we attempt to provide more careful consideration of the causality issues by applying rigorous techniques of Granger causality. Tests for unit roots, co-integration, and Granger causality based on an error-correction model are presented. The existence of bi-directional causality between water consumption and economic growth in Korea is detected. This finding has various implications for policy analysts and forecasters in Korea. Economic growth requires enormous water consumption, though there are many other factors contributing to economic growth, and water consumption is but one part of it. Thus, this study generates confidence in decisions to invest in the water supply infrastructure. Moreover, this study lends support to the argument that an increase in real income, ceteris paribus, gives rise to water consumption. Economic growth results in a higher proportion of national income spent on water supply services and stimulates further water consumption.
