Currently, the income and funds of the local economy are flowing out to the metropolitan area, and talented people, the driving force for regional development, also gather in the metropolitan area, and the local economy is facing a serious crisis. Local currency is issued by local governments and is a currency with auxiliary and complementary functions that can be used only within the area concerned. In order to revitalize the local economy, as local governments have focused their attention on the introduction of local currency, studies on the issuance and use of local currency are continuously being conducted. In this study, by using big data from data materials such as portals and SNS, the consumer image of local currency issued in local governments was identified through big data analysis, and based on the research results, the issuance and operation of local currency was conducted. The purpose is to present implications for The results of this study are as follows. First, by inducing local consumption through the policy issuance of local currency, it is showing the effect of increasing the economic income of the region. Second, local governments are exerting efforts to revitalize the economy and establish a virtuous cycle system for the local economy by issuing and distributing local currency. Third, the introduction of blockchain technology shows the stable operation of local currency. With academic significance, it was possible to grasp the changed appearance and effect of local currency through big data analysis and the policy direction of local currency.

This study analyzed user reviews of Dongbaekjeon and Incheoneum app, which are representative local currencies in Korea, to identify the positive/negative factors of local currency users, and established a marketing strategy based on this. App user reviews were classified into positive and negative based on the star rating, and word cloud, topic modeling, and social network analysis were performed, respectively. As a result, in the negative reviews of Dongbaekjeon and Incheoneum, dissatisfaction with app use and card issuance appeared in common. In positive reviews, keywords such as 'local economy' and 'small business owners' along with satisfaction with 'cashback' appeared. It means that local currency users perceived that their consumption support local economy, and they felt satisfaction in using local currency. Based on the satisfaction/dissatisfaction factors identified as a result of the analysis of this study, we identified what needs to be improved and to be strengthened, and appropriate marketing strategies were established. The text mining method used in this study and research results can provide meaningful information about local currencies to public officials and marketers in charge of local currencies.

This research strives to find the effective Local Currency Model that considered regional characteristics of Innovation city. Currently, the issuance of the domestic local currency has been increased due to COVID-19 Pandemic, yet most regions operate it in the same way without consideration of the characteristics and environment for each region, which leads to a lack of motivation for local communities to continue to participate. The regional characteristics of innovative cities were analyzed in order of policy characteristics of innovation cities, population growth issues, settlement and consumption environment. The new local currency model was proposed for innovation cities based on a private blockchain system with the participation of public institutions to solve and supplement regional issues.

Text mining is one of the big data analysis methods that extracts meaningful information from atypical large-scale text data. In this study, text mining was used to monitor citizens' opinions on the policies and systems being implemented. We collected 5,108 newspaper articles and 748 online cafe posts related to 'Gyeonggi Lacal Currency' and performed frequency analysis, TF-IDF analysis, association analysis, and word tree visualization analysis. As a result, many articles related to the purpose of introducing local currency, the benefits provided, and the method of use. However, the contents related to the actual use of local currency were written in the online cafe posts. In order to revitalize local currency, the news was involved in the promotion of local currency as an informant. Online cafe posts consisted of the opinions of citizens who are local currency users. SNS and text mining are expected to effectively activate various policies as well as local currency.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the significance of regional loan-to-deposit ratio and local banks through Post-Keynesian endogenous monetary theory. According to endogenous monetary theory, banks, rather than financial intermediaries, are credit creation agencies that create deposit money through loans. On the other hand, according to the existing view which interprets bank as a financial intermediary, it is seen that the higher the loan-to-deposit ratio of the deposit bank in a region, the more active the lending activity based on the deposit inflow. However, according to the endogenous monetary theory, the loan-to-deposit rate is reinterpreted as an indicator of regional balance. Especially, relatively high lending-to-deposit rate of a region is interpreted as follows: money circulation in the region is shrinking due to the outflow of deposits created through loans in the region. In addition, when considering the local based financial practices of local banks, their ability to create credit, and their impact on the real economy, it is necessary to positively review the local bank restructuring policy from the perspective of balanced regional development.

This study gropes for historical geographic approach to regional research in view of new regional geography. A geographical methodology in regional geography pursues the dialectics of concrete totalities. Regional researches think that social processes interact with the uniqueness of regional characteristics and that region is a historical unit which changes dynamically. Time in regional changes is understood in terms of a dialectics of continuity and break. Transition from feudalism to capitalism is the important period which is captured continuity and break simultaneously. Research objects in this research are money, market and city. Money symbolizes transition to capitalism, and market and city have the importance in transition from feudalism to capitalism In Korea, historical geographic approach to money, market and city both in the era of opening ports and in the Japanese colonial times in Korea are important objects in regional geography. Colonial urban research in view of money and market from the era of opening ports to the Japanese colonial times in Korea is a theme which includes a dialectic of concrete totalities in historical geographic approach in regional geography.

The purpose of this study is to firstly estimate the inflation rate of North Korea using relative purchasing power parity. Most of the existing studies use North Korean rice prices as proxy to explain changes in North Korean prices. In this study, North Korea's price was estimated by applying purchasing power parity, which was used to estimate the price of socialist countries in the past, to North Korea. Second, it analyzes the impact of North Korea's price inflation after the institutional change of currency reform. We looked at the movements of North Korean prices after the institutional change of currency reform and compared it with the post-monetary reform of other socialist countries. We examine the impact of currency reform on North Korea, focusing on the price. As a result, after the currency reform in 2009, North Korea experienced hyperinflation. The North Korean inflation rate in the model was 3,010.0% in 2010, 195.0% in 2011, 68.0% in 2012 and 48.3% in 2013. After the currency reform of North Korea, the inflation rate is much higher than the socialist countries such as China and Vietnam who had experienced currency reform before. North Korea's monetary reforms are considered to have failed because of the side effects of hyperinflation.

The paper is basically attempted to reveal a possibility of monetary unification and setting an anchor currency in North East Asian economies such as South Korea, China, and Japan. The Cobb-Douglas utility function is tentatively built by a Walrasian economic framework. Korean Won(KRW) is represented for a numeraire in a structural model, and the estimation of a parameter is performed by 2SLS and GARCH-M models. Empirical evidence is found that not only monetary unification itself in this regime seems not to be practicable, but also setting an anchor currency by Chinese Yuan(CNY) or Japanese Yen(JPY) is also inappropriated due to the fact that the estimated parameter is not converged to a unity. Walrasian equilibria are enhanced by the convergence to a unity in the model. It also has to be mentioned that a number of necessary and sufficient conditions should be fulfilled prior to discuss a monetary unification in North East Asian economies. Instead, Asia currency unit(ACU) is more feasible in reality.
