This paper aims to apply the convergence theory into the minimum income guarantee which forms the moral foundation of the welfare state. The research question of this paper is if the level of minimum income guarantee among EU member states (EU-15) gradually converging into a certain level. For this purpose, Chapter 2 describes the convergence and diversion of welfare states since the Second World War, and chapter 3 explains the historical development of the EU social policies since the Rome Treaty (1957). Chapter 4, which is the main body of this paper, analyzes if the level of minimum income guarantees of EU member states is converging by the coefficient of variation analysis and regression analysis. However, converging trend of the level of basic income guarantee among EU member states has not been proved. In other words, social policy arena still remains strongly in the realm of national sovereign states, irrespective of growing pressure from the supra-national governing body like the EU. It is in line with the Abram de Swaan's argument that "welfare states is nation states" (1994: 110).

The business cycle during a recession leads to negative effects on raising funds and operations management of company. In particular, the company with many inventories in the recession causes liquidity problem. Which leads to frustration in the competitive strategy management. In this case the company experiencing cash or liquidity problems attempts to reduce its investment in inventory. However, reducing inventory investment makes problems to increase inventory operating costs. This paper presents sensitivity of total cost compared to the size for reducing inventory investment. This will guarantee the relevance of the reducing inventory investment. Optimal Inventory levels also may be required to be less than the optimal levels without reduction on inventory investments.

When greenhouse gas mitigation policies are implemented, energy intensive manufacturing industries are influenced much due to an increase in cost. However, industries that have price setting power are damaged less by the policies. Therefore, this paper analyzes vulnerability of energy intensive manufacturing industries to the policies by measuring price setting power of the industries. We analyzed price setting power model through ECM, employing the import prices and wages as independent variables. The industries that their prices react to import prices are price takers, which their prices are determined by rival's ones. On the other hand, the industry that their prices react to wages that mean domestic cost are price setters, and they will be less vulnerable to the policies. In addition, fluctuation of energy prices would be reflected in import prices because it influences other countries than my one. Thus, we employed energy prices as control variable to measure the net effects of import prices. As empirical results, petroleum products, chemical products, non-metallic mineral products, textiles, and motor vehicles sector have price setting power, so the industries have competitiveness on greenhouse gas mitigation policies.

The urban housing market in Korea, especially in Seoul and the Capital region, has been revitalized with massive urban (re)developments and expanding real estate finance after the IMF crisis. This brought about a boom of housing price during the mid-2000s, which has been virtually stabilized by strong regulation policies of the previous government. But with impacts of the recent international financial crisis together with some inherent problems, the housing market of Korea faces with a worry of collapse in relation with the financial market volatility and the serious depression of real economy, and hence the current government attempts to implement strong deregulation policies on the housing market. In this paper it is argued that this kind of volatility of urban housing market seems to be caused by strategies of capital which involve continuous massive urban (re)development, residential segregation and appropriation of monopoly rent(or capital gain), and fictitious capitalization of real estates and integration of real estate market and financial market. In these reasons, the current tendency of urban housing price shows a slow downward, which seems to give the current neoliberal government a rationale for deregulation policies to prevent the downward tendency. But this paper suggests that such a slow downward of housing price shift would have positive effects on the housing market in particular and social and economic situations in general, and hence an alternative housing policy is required to realize such positive effects.

최근 수소에너지가 환경문제를 해결해 줄 수 있는 대체에너지로 각광받으면서 수소에너지의 사용이 가지고 올 새로운 에너지 체제에 대한 시나리오 연구가 다양하게 수행되고 있다. 수소 기술-경제체제의 가능한 시나리오를 제시하는 것은 미래 사회에서 수소가 에너지 운반체로서 담당하게 될 역할을 명확히 할 수 있음과 동시에 에너지라는 거대한 기술-경제체제의 변화를 위해 현재 수행해야 할 에너지 정책과 전략에 대해 큰 시사점을 줄 수 있기에 의미가 있다. 본 연구는 수소의 생산, 저장 및 운반, 그리고 응용분야에서의 다양한 기술의 SWOT 분석을 통해 가능한 시나리오를 단기와 장기로 나누어 제시했다. 그 결과 앞으로의 수소 기술-경제체제의 구조는 기술적 완성도 뿐 아니라 사회적 수용성, 사회적 적응성 등 외부의 환경변화에도 많은 영향을 받음을 알았다. 그렇기 때문에 수소에너지에 관한 전략과 정책은 이러한 변동을 충분히 고려하면서 결정돼야 한다.

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between observed traffic data and NOx concentrations from not an ideal condition but a real road in real-time. Also we aim to develop an estimation model for NOx emission concentrations due to vehicle exhaust gas, and it can be applied to monitor the degree of air pollution on National Road in real-time. To eliminate outliers which are occurred due to errors of equipments and other variables, we use the robust analysis and develop two models. which are considering and not considering wind impact. The result of this research can be used for understanding present condition of air pollution caused by vehicle exhaust gas and evaluating for environmental effects of transportation policy.

최근 오염총량관리제도를 위한 오염부하량의 관리문제가 대두되면서 이를 위한 수질분석의 중요성이 인식되고 있다. 그러나 시간적 변화를 가진 유입유량, 유입부하량 자료의 한계로 인하여 기준유량을 대상으로 하는 정적수질분석의 결과가 환경정책에 반영되고 있는 실정이며, 이는 하천유량의 변동과 강우 시 비점오염부하량을 무시한 지극히 제한된 분석에 국한되어 있다. 따라서 시간적 변화를 가진 동적수질분석의 결과가 정책에 반영되기 위해서는 자료의 확보가 우선이다. 본 연구에서는 월 별, 소유역 별 시계열 자료 확보를 위하여 합리적이고 사용이 용이한 방법을 제시하였다. 유출량의 경우, 기존의 비유량법과는 달리 저류효과를 고려한 토양수분 저류구조 Tank모형을 적용하여 장기간의 유출량을 산정하였고, 유출농도의 경우, 기존 인접유역의 동일 유달계수 적용과는 달리, 월 오염부하총량비와 유역오염부하 전달함수를 이용하여 월 별, 소유역 별, 수질변수 별 유출농도를 산정하였다. 산정된 유출량과 유출농도는 남강댐 상류유역 하천에서 WASP 모형을 가지고 동적수질분석을 하기 위하여 적용되었다. 그 결과 적절한 오염물질 농도곡선을 얻을 수 있었으며, 제안된 가정의 적용 가능성은 충분하였다.

1959년(年) 11월(月) St. Louis 연방은행 Review지(誌)에 발표된 통칭 St. Louis 방정식으로 불리는 Miehael W. Keran의 모형은 학계에 지대한 반향을 이르켰다. 동모형은 1919년에서 1969의 50년간의 자료를 토대로 재정정책 및 화폐정책을 대표하는 두 설명변수와 경제활동의 전반적지표로서 국민소득을 종속변수로하여 전자의 후자에 미치는 영향을 계량적으로 파악코저하는 회귀분석인데 만일 방정식이라는 접근방식이 구조적 특징이다. 본 연구는 1965년에서 1980년까지의 새로운 자료에 입각하여 동모형의 이론적 타당성을 비판적으로 검토하고, 또한 통계학적 신빙성을 제고(提高)할 수 있는 개선방안(改善方案)을 모색코저 시도(試圖)한 것이다. 우선 단일방정식(單一方程式) 접근(接近)의 문제점(問題點)인 종속변수의 EXOGENEITY를 시험하기 위(爲)한 소위 Reverse-Causation Argument를 재점검(再點檢)하였고, 이이서 동모형의 Specification을 면밀히 살펴왔다. 특히 이자율의 변동을 설명변수로 도입해서 동변수가 경제활동전반에 끼치는 영향을 추정함으로서 설명변수의 추가적 설정(說定)의 타당성여부를 검토하였다. Keran의 결과가 t, D-W 및 $R^2$ 등의 주요 통제치가 매우 미흡한 수준이였으므로 이들 통계치의 제고(提高)를 위해 Almond-lag 방식을 Cuchrane/Oreutt 기법(技法)과 결합해서 적용하여 Almond의 지연구조에 녹유(綠由)하는 자동상관(自動相關) 효과(效果)를 배제(排除)코저 하였다. 끝으로 본연구대상기간인 '65년에서 '80년간의 역사적 발전을 배경으로 동모형의 적용 결과를 재조명(再照明)함으로서 동모형의 타당성을 살펴봤다.

This paper presents a method for developing the performance assessment of energy conservation and efficiency based on baseline and target adjustment approach. Energy consumption is related with output level and production structure. This paper suggests improvement for target establishment and performance assessment with regard to real output level in target year. Numerical illustrations of baseline and target adjustment method are shown different compared with the general assessment results. This study will contribute to applying the conformity assessment and Greenhouse Gas Emissions verification system.

In this study, labor force projections are made in order to examine the process and magnitude of labor shortage caused by population ageing in Korea. Starting from theoretical review and analysis of population projection data, this study presents that serious transitions of labor market are expected to begin between 2020 and 2030. This study shows even in case of encouraging higher labor participation, labor shortage cannot be offset but only delay and alleviate effects of population ageing. Finally, this study points out some important implications of labor policy including sensitive social and political issues which should be considered.
