This paper analyzes the firms' optimization behavior in response to rising demand for non-priced renewable energy in the manufacturing industries by using an input distance function. The annual estimates of the shadow price of renewable energy is derived and the trend of its shadow price over time is analyzed. The degree of substitution of renewable energy for fossil-fuels is examined. The input-based Malmquist productivity index, defined as a composite of the technical efficiency and technical change measures, is measured. The contribution of renewable energy input growth to the Malmquist index is analyzed. Empirical results indicate that the shadow price of renewable energy declined at an average annual rate of 17% over the period 1992-2012. Substitutability between renewable energy and fossil-fuels was limited. On average, a 1% increase in renewable energy would decrease Malmquist index by 0.04% per year.

This study constructs an energy-extended KLEM DB of 35 Korean industries, and estimates the elasticities of substitution under various nesting structures of production technologies. Unlike most existing studies that employed only three inputs, K, L, and E, we applied a dual approach where non-energy intermediate input M is also incorporated as a production input. Our dual approach which extended that of van der Werf (2008)'s 3-input model successfully identified and estimated the multi-nested production functions. We provide the estimates of the elasticities of substitution among 4 different energy sources as well. Our estimation results would be used for energy-environment model building for Korea.

The effective exploitation of resources is critical for startup firms with insufficient resources to compete with well-resourced large firms. The direction and consistency of the resource input should be retained to utilize resources effectively, which will lead to a necessity for a fit between the strength in resources and the strategy of a firm. This study suggests hypotheses and verifies them empirically based on the logic that the attribute of resources in which a firm with a core competence decides the type of strategy and the formulated strategy presents the direction of the resource input, which enables the effective utilization of resources and facilitates high performance. According to the statistical results, the R&D capability affects the innovative differentiation strategy, marketing capability affects marketing differentiation strategy, and financial and production capability affects low cost strategy, in which the efficacy of the strategy depends on the attribute of resources. In addition, the R&D capability and marketing capability adversely affect the low cost strategy and the production capability negatively affects the innovative differentiation strategy, which implies that the exclusive choice of a strategy by the strength in resources results in improved performance. These results show that the fit between the resource and strategy is an essential cause of high performance in venture businesses.

본 논문의 목적은 전력 소비자 입장에서 비용 최소화를 하는 DR(Demand Response)프로그램의 설계이다. 이는 DR자원을 입찰받는 환경에서 시장의 가격을 고려하여 DR자원의 투입량과 그 보상금을 결정하는 것에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 또한 수요 감축이 이루어진 후에 발생하는 수요증가현상(Payback)현상을 고려하였다. payback 현상을 고려하지 않고 DR프로그램을 설계할 경우 당장의 피크를 줄이기 위해 많은 DR자원 투입하는 경우가 있다. 이런 경우 당장의 피크는 없어지지만 추후의 증가하는 수요에 의해 제2의 피크가 발생하거나 비용이 증가하는 현상이 생긴다. 따라서 Payback은 DR프로그램을 실행하는데 있어서 반드시 고려되어야할 중요한 현상이다. 본 논문에서는 몇 가지 payback 모델을 바탕으로 소비자 입장에서 비용 최소화하는 DR프로그램을 구현하였다.

During expressway construction it has been input a lot of material, but it does not manage to estimate quantitatively. In this study, the total material requirement for construction of expressway, which separated direct material requirement and indirect material requirement each section was quantified by combining life cycle assessment (LCA) and material flow analysis (MFA). In the direct material requirement, sand 2.27E + 04 ton/km, limestone 1.02E + 04 ton/km and gravel 4.47E + 03 ton/km were required, in the indirect material requirement, gravel 2.75E + 04 ton/km, iron 9.80E + 03 ton/km and coal 9.74E + 03 ton/km were required. Material such as sand, limestone which has high direct material requirement is require of excess input prevention from construction site, and material such as iron, rare metals(chrome, nickel) and coal which has high indirect material requirement is require additional studies of resource management.

The effects of equivalent of iron powder, particle size, agitation speed on the removal efficiency of copper ion were investigated by adding iron powder as cementation agents to simulated mine drainage solution with 117.15 mg/L Cu ion. The 50 % of Cu was removed at 90 min with 2 equivalent of iron powder while more than 99 % of Cu was removed at 60 min with 16 equivalent at 200 rpm and $20^{\circ}C$. The removal efficiencies of Cu ion were not different using 2 equivalent of $48{\mu}m$ and $150{\mu}m$ iron powder, and the removal efficiency increased rapidly with increasing the agitation speed to more than 400 rpm. This lower removal efficiency resulted from agglomeration of iron powder observed by SEM, which could reduce the effective specific surface area. More than 99 % of copper ion was removed using 2 equivalent of $48{\mu}m$ iron powder at 60 min, 600 rpm and $20^{\circ}C$.

현재 우리나라는 어업 자원의 감소가 심각한 문제로 대두되고 있으며 일부 어종은 고갈될 위기에 처해 있다. 자원의 회복을 도모하면서 수산업을 지속적으로 발전시키기 위해서는 과학적인 자원 관리가 필요하다. 과학적인 자원 관리를 위해서는 현재 사용하고 있는 어구의 어획 노력량을 정량적으로 평가하고 그에 따른 어획노력량의 합리적인 투입 관리가 이루어져야 한다. (중략)

From the respect of economics, environmental industry has not defined clearly since environmental services and goods are so broad to focus. Therefore many countries are using their own version of environmental industry. Hence analysis of environmental industry is very limited. In this thesis, based on the definition of Bureau Statistical Office in Korea, economic analysis for the industrial spill effect, production effect, value-added effect has been done by using 1995, 1998 I-O tables published from the Bank of Korea. Even if portion of production from environmental industry in Korea is quite low so far, forward and backward effect has quite impact on the whole industry and show strong intermediate goods. With respect to price effect.
