This study explores a changing social expenditure structure of welfare states on new social risks, using logistic regression analysis with Panel Corrected Standard Errors Model on panel data of 1997-2007 years from 27 OECD nations. The result of this study presents that social expenditure structures have been adjusted with new social risk structure due to trade openness, female employment rates, and child population rates. Greater trade openness, higher women's employment rates, and lower child population rates are, more social investment expenditures are than income security expenditures. Rates of employment in service industries and elderly population rates are not statistically significant on the change of social expenditure structure. This result does not imply a complete switch from demand-based to supply-based social policy, but somewhat reflects transitions of a social welfare system for changing economic and social environments in order to sustain welfare state economically.

The objective of this paper is to analyze expenditure structures and impact factors of household's transportation cost in order to provide policy-maker with quantitative and economic information for reducing household's transportation costs, using 1995-2007 household survey data. For this purpose, this study performed various economic analysis, including econometric regression analysis and income re-distributional effects. The four models were separately estimated with dependent variable (personal and public costs, public transit and private car costs) and independent variables (family, employ, age, education, cars, household income, region dummy variable). In addition, We analyzes impacts of transport policy instruments on the transportation expenditure. These instruments include changes of oil price and public transit fare, reform of public transport system, and extension of subway facilities. Finally, income re-distributional effects before and after transportation expenditure, using Pechman-Okner (PO) index and Wolfson index.

Considering the fact that households' demographic characteristics affect consumption decision, it is conjectured that rapid demographic changes would lead to a substantial change in the composition of private consumption expenditure. This paper estimates the demand functions of various consumption items by applying the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System(QUAIDS) model to Household Income and Expenditure Survey data, and then provides a long-term forecast of the composition of household consumption expenditure for 2005-2020. The paper shows that Korea's consumption expenditure will maintain the recent years' rapid change, of which a considerable portion is due to rapid demographic changes. Results of the paper can be utilized in forecasting the change in the industrial structure of the economy, as well as in firms' investment planning.

This study was carried out to analyze the consumption expenditure condition of elderly persons with and without physical disabilities by social economic status and sociodemographic characteristics and to compare the results of those two groups for making an offer the basic materials to provide political support for elderly persons with physical disabilities. The statistical analysis of collected data was enforced through T-test, ANOVA and Crosstabs with SPSS 19.0 program. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the group with disabilities has presumed to be in relative poverty given that disposable income, academic career and total living expenses showed lower than the other group. Second, the component ratios of domestic foods and housing expenses of disabled group showed higher but those of specific spending items of expenditure such as social activities, reserving fund of social security for economic safety net, clothing and eating out expenses showed lower than the other group.

This study investigated changes and determinants of public pension generosity and pension spending in welfare states during the last retrenchment period. Path-dependency thesis, industrialization theory and power resources model were examined with the twelve welfare states from 1980 to 2007. The main results are as follows. First, the developments of benefit generosity and pension spending have been differently presented according to pension structure. Second, the cross-national pooled-time series analysis confirmed that pension structure is the most significant factors to determine the level of benefit generosity and pension spending. Third, the positive effect of population ageing on pension spendings were proved even without any changes of pension generosity. New social risks, however, have restrained the pension spending. Fourth, the power of the left party and labor union did not affect the pension policy, which implies that power resources theory cannot explain the development of pension policy in this retrenchment period.

This study examined how the differences in household characteristics influence consumer expenditure patterns. The Price-Scaling AIDS model with household income and expenditure survey data were used for the analysis. The results showed that the income elasticity of the service items is greater than non-service items, indicating an increase in higher demand of service items with the same increase in household income. The household expenditure patterns vary according to the commodities, holding age and income level. The so-called traditional pattern, which emphasizes spending for non-service items, changed to the one with a higher expenditure ratio for service items. Such a change in household expenditure patterns naturally derives the expansion of the relevant service market; hence, the growth of the related service industry. This highlights the need to formulate an appropriate response from the supply side that deals with the changes in the service market.

본 연구에서는 경영자 소유지분과 자본적 투자지출의 관계를 이론과 실증분석의 양 차원에서 분석하였다. 우선 이론적인 분석에서는 경영자가 기업가치 극대화뿐만 아니라 규모극대화를 동시에 추구할 때, 기업의 자발적 투자지출은 경영자 소유지분의 함수라는 점을 보였다. 특히 2차효용함수의 가정하에서 자본적 투자지출과 경영자 소유지분의 관계는 경영자의 소유지분과 위험회피도, 확실성 등가에 의한 프로젝트의 순기대현금 흐름 수준에 따라 달라지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 자본적 투자지출은 경영자의 효용함수 행태에 따라 경영자 소유지분이 낮은 수준에서는 소유지분의 감소함수이나 높은 수준에서는 증가함수로 반전되는 구조적인 전환점이 존재한다는 점을 밝혔다. 한편 90-95년 중 우리나라 상장 제조업의 자료를 바탕으로 규모극대화 기업과 규모비극대화 기업에 대하여 경영자 소유지분과 자본적 투자지출의 관계를 비교한 결과, 규모극대화 기업에서 경영자 지분이 약 30%인 구조적인 전환점을 중심으로 그 이전에서는 경영자 지분의 증가에 따라 자본적 투자지출이 감소하나 그 이후에는 증가함수로 단전되는 것으로 나타나 이론의 내용을 지지하였다. 그러므로 본 연구의 결과는 기존의 연구에서와는 달리 안주가설(entrenchment hypothesis)에 의하지 않더라도 경영자의 효용함수의 행태에 따라 일정한 경영자 소유지분 이상에서는 가치비극대화 행위가 지배할 있다는 점을 보여주고 있다.

본 논문에서는 우리나라 국방예산 운영의 국민경제적 파급효과에 대한 실증분석에 기초하여 국방예산 규모논쟁에 대한 검토, 지출구조의 개선방안, 그리고 지출구조 개성을 위한 국방부문의 효율화 방향을 제시하였다. 실증분석을 위해 Feder-Ram 2부문-외부효과모형에 기초하여 1970년대 이후 총국방비 운영유지비 방위력개선비 등 3가지의 국방부문 지표를 이용한 실증분석 결과, 방위력개선비가 국민총생산에 대해 유의한 정(正)의 효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 총국방비의 경우 유의성이 없었으며, 운영유지비의 경우 유의한 부(負)의 효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 국방예산 규모논쟁과 관련하여, 최근 GDP 대비 국방비 비중과 안보위협을 고려한 국가군별 비교 등을 통해볼 때, 지금까지의 우리나라 국방비규모의 상대적 비중이 하락하는 추세를 더 이상 기대하기는 어렵다고 보는 것이 현실적인 인식이라고 판단된다. 이제 국방예산 관련 논의의 초점은 상대적 규모를 포함하여 국방예산규모 자체보다는 국방예산의 지출구조와 내역에 맞추어져야 하고, 국방예산 운영의 낭비사례를 방지하고 효율성 투명성을 높여서 적절한 지출구조와 배분내역 방식을 이루는 것이 되어야 한다고 판단된다. 국방예산 지출구조의 개선을 위해서 투자비 성격의 방위력개선비 비중을 높이는 예산구조상의 개선이 매우 중요한 과제이다. 이를 위해 각종 경사경비에 대한 영점기준의 검토작업과 더불어 인력과 장비의 대체, 인력구조의 조정 등을 통해 기술집약형 전력구조를 지향하는 보다 근본적인 구조조정노력이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 미래전 양상에 대비한 군 첨단화의 핵심인 해상방위력 및 항공력 증강 등이 필수적이며, 지상군 위주에서 상대적으로 해 공군 중심의 군 구조로 개선되어야 할 것이다. 구조개선의 완급조절과 군별배분의 수평적 구조개선을 통해서 예산규모의 커다란 증대 압력 없이 추진 할 수 있는 구조개선은 시급히 실현되어야 할 것이며, 구조조정 재원의 상당부분은 군 내부의 낭비사례를 막고 생산성을 획기적으로 제고해서 확보할 수 있어야 할 것이다. 국방예산 운영의 효율성 투명성 제고를 위해서는 군 내부 자원관리기능이 강화되어야 하고, 군조직 운영에 있어서도 민간부문에 상응하는 경영효율성 개념의 과감한 도입이 요구된다. 지금까지의 '국방전력 극대화'를 위한 군인중심의 획일적 폐쇄적 군조직 운영에서 벗어나 조직 인사 예산 운영 전반에 걸친 경영혁신이 이루어져야 한다. 국방부문에 경영효율성 개념을 도입하여 경영혁신을 이루어나가는 주요 정책방향은 일부 기능 조직의 민영화 및 민간위탁의 확대, 민간전문인력의 활용도 제고, 자율적 책임경이 필요한 부문을 대상으로 한 "책임경영사업소(Agency)제도"의 도입 등이다. 또한 유사기능을 갖는 조직과 각군별로 별도로 설립되어 중복되는 기능을 수행하는 기관을 통폐합해야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to confirm a structural relationship on factors affecting ratio of public transportation spending to a car-owning household's total transportation expenditure. For this purpose, informations of household's attributes and activities were gathered using the 13th Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS), and information of land-use and transportation conditions on their residential locations was collected and processed. A structural equation model (SEM) on determinants affecting ratio of public transportation expenditure was constructed, based on an execution result of factor analysis using the analyzing database. The latent variables were derived as land-use/transportation characteristic, household's attribute and household's activity. In the analyzing result of the SEM, the entire latent variables were significant. And, the first two latent variables had positive influences, and the last latent variable had a negative impact. To promote public transportation use of the car-owning households, this study suggests that the policies such as enhancement of convenience in public transportation use for the household's activities and improvement of the land-use/transport conditions are required.

This paper analyzes whether local public expenditures have converged during the 1985-2011 periods in Korea, using the sixteen metropolitan and provincial governments data. We analyze the convergence of per capita real local public expenditures in terms of both static view and dynamic view of convergence. Furthermore, we derive the estimating equation for per capita real local government expenditure growth function from theoretical model based on Skidmore et al.(2004)[23]. The main results from empirical analyses are such that an increase in aged people helped local government expenditures increase. Also, we found that the convergence speed of economic expenditure is greater than that of social welfare expenditure. Similarly the convergence speed of public capital expenditure is greater than that of public consumption expenditure. In the future we had better examine the convergence of local public goods taking into account their congestion rates.
