How do Korean people recognize major welfare policies of the Moon Jae-in government? Using a survey of 1,000 adults conducted in December 2018, this study examines what the public thinks about major issues related to welfare policies and what factors are related to variations in their opinions regarding the welfare policies. Results show that the public recognized the roles of government in providing welfare in a positive way. The positive opinion on expanding the coverage of National Health Insurance was the highest. Regarding the resolutions of fiscal problems of the National Pension Plan, there were substantial oppositions to reforms such as insurance premium increase, benefits cut, and increase in the age of receipt of pension benefits. Both efficiency and equality were perceived as important when government makes decision for allocating budgets. Only one-third of respondents agreed Korean government contributed to promoting the happiness of Korean people. Based on these findings, implications for developing welfare policies were discussed.

As the average load factor of High-Speed Rail (HSR) trains increased up to 98%, it caused uncomfortable crowdedness in the cabin and deteriorated the level of service to the HSR users. In this paper, we estimated the willingness-to-pay (WTP) of the HSR users for mitigating the crowdedness in the cabin. The contingent valuation method based on the stated preference data was used and the tobit model was applied for the estimation of WTP. It can be concluded that WTP for mitigating the crowdedness in the HSR trains is proportional to the congestion level of train and income level of user. Males, first-class users, not-assigned ticket users, and monthly pass users have relatively higher WTPs, while homemakers, travelers in weekends, commuters and leisure travelers have relatively lower values. The results can provide the fundamental information to estimate the benefits of mitigating crowdedness or the magnitude of governmental subsidy to railway operators for additional introduction of HSR trains.

The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze factors which influence social and economic performance of social enterprises, and to examine the correlation of factors affecting social and economic performance. This study was conducted following the hypothesis that the organizational characteristics(organizational type, certification type, certification year, social service supply type, and external grants) of social enterprises affect social and economic performance, and that significant correlation exists between social and economic performance. This study collected the disclosure materials of 219 social enterprises certified between 2007- 2014 from the directory of the Korean Social Enterprise Promotion Agency. The study results are as follows: First, organizational characteristics affect social performance(i.e. jobs for the vulnerable classes). In addition, certification year and external grants had a positive effect on social performance. Second, the organizational characteristics affect the economic performance(i.e. sales), and certification year and external grants had a positive effect on economic performance. However, organizational type had a negative effect on the economic performance(i.e. sales). Third, analysis found a positive correlation of factors affecting social and economic performance. This study suggests the need to diversify support policies according to the number of authentication years in order to promote self-reliance and sustainability by maximizing the social and economic performance of social enterprises.

There have been many leading researches on the North Korean Refugees who were settling in Korea which were mostly focused on raising the Defector issues and seeking how to improve those. It is not so easy to get over social and cultural gap and differences between the South and the North prolonged for more than half a century especially when the possibility of bulk of the North Korean Refugees rushing into the South by any contingency case is very high or South and North should expand social integration on the basis of mutual exchange and cooperation. Local government should grope for any policy switch which can help them have positive postures rather than simple support policy for settlement, as well.

The purpose of this study was to analyze a ripple effect of the regions, Samcheok city, Goseong county and Donghae city, in Gangwon province by government aid for forest fire restoration through the input-output analysis. These regions were devastated by forest fire in 2000. Direct production inducement effect was higher than indirect production inducement effect except for construction industry. Income inducement effect similarly showed production inducement effect Indirect employment inducement effect was higher than direct employment inducement effect. The efficiency of government aid took a side view of three effects. Production inducement effect and income inducement effect in Donghae were more efficient than these in Samcheok and Goseong. Employment inducement effect in Samcheok was more efficient than it in Goseong and Donghae.

우리나라는 "제 3차 신재생에너지 기술개발 및 이용 보급 기본계획"을 통해 2030년까지 111.5조 원을 투자하여 전체 에너지의 11%를 신재생에너지로 공급한다는 목표를 설정하였다. 그러나 신재생에너지는 기존의 원자력이나 화석에너지에 비하여 생산비용이 높아 보조나 융자 등의 정부지원에 의존하여 보급이 이루어져왔다. 신재생에너지 보급확대 및 산업발전을 위한 보급정책의 일환으로 정부는 2012년부터 RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard, 신재생에너지 공급의 무화제도)를 도입키로 확정하였다. RPS의 도입은 일정규모 신재생에너지 시장수요를 창출함과 동시에 신재생에너지원간 가격경쟁 구도 형성의 유인이 될 수 있다. 이는 전력가격 일괄상승 및 녹색가격제도(Green Pricing) 등의 정책적 논의로 이어질 수 있다. 따라서 소비자 측면에서 신재생에너지 전력의 가치를 어떻게 평가하는지를 분석하여 RPS 시행제반의 정책적 논의의 기초자료를 마련할 필요가 있다. 특히 RPS는 신재생에너지원 간의 경쟁을 가능하게 하므로 개별 신재생에너지원에 따라 소비자 선호의 차이가 어떻게 나타나는지 연구되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 환경재 혹은 비시장재화의 가치추정에 가장 널리 활용되고 있는 조건부가치평가법(Contingent Valuation Method; CVM)을 적용하여 풍력, 태양광, 수력으로 생산한 전력에 대한 소비자의 지불의사액(Willingness to Pay; WTP)을 분석하는 모형을 수립하였다. 이를 위해 Zografakis et al.(2010), Yoo and Kwak(2009), 이창훈 황석준(2009), Nomura and Akai(2004), Bately et al.(2001) 등의 선행연구를 참조하여 신재생에너지 전력 가치의 설문에서 고려되어야 하는 요인들을 선정하였다. 이를 토대로 설문 시나리오를 작성하여 각 요인들이 신재생에너지 전력에 대한 지불의사액 결정에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석가능한 모형을 설정하였다. 뿐만 아니라 기존 연구들이 신재생에너지로 생산된 일반적인 전력에 대한 지불의사액을 질문하는데 그쳤다면, 본 연구에서는 각 원별로 지불의사액의 차이를 도출할 수 있는 설문모형을 구축하는데 중점을 두었다. 본 연구결과는 향후 설문수행을 통하여 신재생에너지원별로 소비자의 선호를 분석할 수 있는 연구로 발전될 수 있으며, 이는 RPS 도입으로 인한 전력가격 정책 수립의 기초 연구자료로 활용될 수 있다 하겠다.

The prolonged economic slowdown has forced many youths to opt for starting a business instead of seeking employment. Universities have shown their interest in startup training by opening startup courses and encouraging relevant student communities, while at the same time helping their students land a job. Along with this, the government has been implementing various policies through creative economy and youth startup initiatives, but the resulting quantitative growth has not been supported by a commensurate level of qualitative growth and this has created problems on the supplier side, such as by producing redundant functions and roles in multiple projects and inefficient investment. This study, which aims at proposing a direction towards more active support and thus helping the government achieve qualitative accomplishments that can match its effort in terms of quantitative growth, analyzes the current status of startup support of universities in Korea by examining the data regarding training programs and projects, and highlights the issues stemming from startup organizations in colleges. It also suggests solutions for improving in-college startup training and establishing an interlinked system among the relevant bodies in and out of college, with the hope that the results and alternatives proposed in this study will be utilized as the basis for more active student startup support activities.

The Farm-Closure Assistance (FCA) program is operated to compensate for lost farm income, to stabilize the management of low-competitive farms, and to enhance competitiveness of target items. The FCA, however, has several problems, such as the balloon effect and fraudulent receipts. Therefore, it is important to examine the operational problems of the FCA, establish improvement plans, and settle the measures. The objectives of this study are to analyze problems and suggest solutions for FCA, reflecting the viewpoints of local government officials who are in charge of actual tasks on the FCA front lines. The study analyzes whether characteristics of government officials lead to differences in setting the maximum amounts and extensions to FCA. Factors influencing the necessity of setting ceilings on FCA were work experience, recognition of agriculture's importance, and the FTA's impact on domestic agriculture, gender, and regions. Factors affecting the extension of FCA were the agency unit, work experience on the FTA, recognition of the effects of FTA direct payments and FCA, and recognition of the subsidy's direction. The results can be employed as a fundamental background that can set the direction for institutional improvement when the government tries to improve FCA.

Government funded research institutes (GFRIs) maintain a cooperative relationship with companies and stably provide their resources through the family company system. They are thereby implementing a demand-oriented support system that responds to the needs of the company. This study analyzed the changes in corporate financial performance depending on the participation in family company system and customized support. For this purpose, 2,229 companies registered with the KITECH during 2015-2017 composed the "Family company group", and 80 companies that participated in the customized support were selected as the "customized support group". The effect of participation on the corporate financial performance was analyzed using the PSM-DID model. The analysis verified that companies in a cooperative relationship with GFRIs had a higher sales growth rate than others. Furthermore, when these companies received additional customized support, their OI and ROE were significantly improved. The value of this study lies in that it quantitatively analyzed the cooperation performance of partner companies following a sustainable SME-GRI relationship. In addition, it provides insight into the strategic support system for SMEs by confirming the necessity of a customized support based on the relationship.
