본고에서는 한 국가가 요소부존도의 독특성을 상실함으로써 교역조건의 악화 및 후생손실을 겪을 수 있다는 '헥셔올린 구축가설'을 이론적 토대로 지난 20년간 우리나라 제조업의 구조변화를 분석함으로써 당면하고 있는 구조적인 문제점이 무엇인가를 살펴보려 하였다. 그 결과 그간 중고등교육 노동력의 급속한 양적 팽창에도 불구하고 이러한 요소를 집약적으로 사용하는 부문(전기 전자, 기계 등 일본가 같은 선진국과 경쟁관계에 있는 부문)의 비교우위 획득속도가 매우 더디었을 뿐 아니라, 이 부문의 상대가격이 중장기적으로 하락하여온 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 현상이 요소부존도의 독특성 상실에 기인하는 한 이는 헥셔올린 구축가설과 일맥상통한다고 볼 수 있다. 또한 비숙련산업(섬유 의류 등)은 중국 및 동남아의 등장 이후 비교우위를 급속히 상실하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 이 부문에서 수입물가대비 수출물가가 오히려 지속적으로 상승한 것은 헥셔올린 구축가설이 의미하는 것과는 정반대의 현상이라고 할 수 있겠다. 종합적으로 반숙련 및 숙련(화학 등)산업에서의 상대가격 및 교역조건(수출물가/수입물가) 하락현상이 두드러져 제조업 전체로는 80년대 후반 이후 교역조건 악화현상이 일어났다고 판단된다. 교역조건의 악화현상은 우리가 만든 물건을 값싸게 수출하고 값비싼 물건을 수입하여야 한다는 점에서 후생의 손실을 의미한다. 동태적으로도 반숙련 및 숙련산업에서의 상대가격 및 교역조건 악화는 중등 및 고등교육인력의 상대임금을 하락시켜 인적자본의 축적을 저해하는 방향으로 작용할 것이다. 이러한 현상이 일어난 원인이 본고에서 주장한 바와 같이 요소부존도의 독특성 상실에 있다면 이에 대한 대책은 차별화 및 혁신능력을 보유한 양질의 인력양성과 같은 것이 될 것이다. 그러나 본고가 물적자본이나 기술과 같은 요소들을 고려하지 못한 한 구체적 정책적 함의의 도출에는 보다 신중을 기해야 할 것이다.

This study aims to provide the service quality which consumers want and basic data for improving their satisfaction by examining the difference among the quantity of cultural capital obtained from restaurant customers, the perception of service quality, and satisfaction. The results of the study are as follows. First, customer satisfaction is not much affected by how much cultural capital one has but by how much influence the cultural capital of parents or family has, or the institutionalized cultural capital. Second, the group that has more cultural capital objectives perceives tangibility, reliability and empathy lower than the one with less cultural capital in general while the group that has more cultural capital embodiments perceives tangibility and assurance higher than the one with less cultural capital; moreover, the group that has more cultural capital institutions perceives the service quality factor lower than the one with less cultural capital. Third, the higher the perception of the whole service quality is, the greater the satisfaction is. In this respect, it is required to offer the service to win customers' sympathy and trust as well as better external atmosphere. In addition, there should be continuous service training to foster employees' expertise and improve service quality, in order for restaurant customers to visit frequently with satisfaction and revisit intention.

The Effects of Social Capital on Occupational Aspiration in University Students This study aims to understand the impact of social capital (parent-child relationship, human network, and SNS use) on the occupational aspiration level in university students based on Coleman's Social Capital Concept. To achieve this, statistical significance test was conducted through correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The major study findings are as follows. As a result of correlation analysis, it was found that Other variables, except for parent's occupational of social capital had a positive effect on vocational aspiration. Also. as a result of hierarchical multiple regression analysis, it was found that parent-child relationship, human network obtained from social activities, Social Networking Service use and usefulness of information - social capital factors - had a statistically significant impact on occupational aspiration. Such findings suggest that the process of possessing and acquiring social capital among university students served as an important achievement-oriented value in terms of social mobility.

Social capital is an important resource for Korean immigrant children's successful school life in the U.S. because most immigrants are not familiar to new language and culture. However, immigrant parents and their children have limited ability to join and create social networks freely both inside and outside school. We, the researchers of this study, adopted qualitative research method: open-ended in-depth interview, coding and analysis based on grounded theory. The result of this study reveals that Korean immigrant parents utilize their coethnic networks in getting educational information and English plays important role in educational decision-making process of the parents.

This study examines the effect of the self-reliance of unmarried mothers on life satisfaction and the moderating effect of social capital on this relationship. For the analysis, a survey was conducted for unmarried mothers living in the community. A total of 207 responses were used. The results are as follows: Self-reliance and social capital, subjective health status had a significant effect on life satisfaction. The social capital had moderated an effect on the self-reliance of unmarried mothers on life-satisfaction. Even if they have the same level of self-reliance, if there is a high level of social capital, they can be achieved a higher level of satisfaction in life. Based on the results of this study, a practical intervention was proposed to improve the life satisfaction of unmarried mothers.

This research studied how political online discussion participation and experiencing opinion disagreement during the discussion affect on civic attitudes(interpersonal trust and reciprocity) and civic participation through pretest-posttest control group experimental treatment. For results, first of all, online political discussion positively affects on civic attitude of participants, but it's effect was partial. Next, experiencing opinion disagreement can help to have rather improving civic attitude than reducing civic attitude. Finally, civic attitude consists of interpersonal trust and reciprocity acquired from online discussion also partially and positively affects on civic participation which is more affected by reciprocity than interpersonal trust. Regard to these effect of online discussion, civic attitude can be extended by participating political communication(discussion), and participating communicative associations lead to encourage civic attitude of them and function to reinforce social integration and social ties.

We try to check empirically whether the Korean banks produce valuable information for the firms listed in KOSDAQ. The sample covers 164 KOSDAQ firms which disclosed long-term bank loans for the period of October 2004 and March 2006. The result shows no abnormal stock returns from bank loan disclosures while the bond issuance indicates a negative abnormal return. In addition, when we control the effect of different debt levels of sample firms, we could not find any statistically significant effect of all types of borrowings. Results suggest that bank borrowings do not convey any favorable information on stock return and, as a result, bank loan is just one of several financing tools rather than a special event conveying good news for the firm under asymmetric information situation.

Labor market participation and occupational status for workers majoring in(natural) science and engineering are estimated and compared with workers of other majors at three levels: employment, prestigious occupations, and good occupations. For this, we utilized 2% Public Use Sample of 2000 Korea Census. The results of two-stage probit models, which adjust sample selection bias, do not support the argument that graduates of science and engineering majors are relatively disadvantaged. Workers of engineering majors are more likely to have 'good occupations' at their early job careers, but their advantages fade away quickly as they are aging. Especially at their 40s, their probability of having 'good occupations' start to be likely lower than workers of social science majors. This may be due to low human capital accumulation rates at work places along with quickly outdated skills which are acquired in colleges.

Recently it is supposed to be a shift to regional geography. To understand the emergence of the new regional geography, It must be remarked that the progress of capitalist production and consumption change our conceptional apparatus such as representation of space. Region is one of the important mode of representations of space and time. In the Fordist capitalism of 20th century, development is regarded as diffusion of capitalist expansion of western worlds. State must support capitalist growth through regional policies which include constructing of infrastructure and regionalization of spatial division of labour. The regional development theories contributed as ideology and policy tools for state intervention. The region was simply one of the most logical classification tools of organizing geographical informations. In the theories of regional development, the concept of region was reduced to the formal unit of classification. As the transition from Fordism to flexible accumulation, the region is again acquiring its 'identity' and 'authenticity'. In this tendency of the revival of region, it is expected that good achievement could be made in the field of regional geography through relevant research methods. It is also believed one of the available means are historical approaches to the cultural and ecological regions. The historical approaches to cultural and ecological regions are not only correspondent with cultural development strategies of local governments, but also could convey regional identities through both narrativization of place and aestheticization of landscape.

This study investigates the relationship between mineral exports to China, North Korea's most important source of foreign currency acquisition, and its imports of various items from China from the first quarter of 1995 through to the third quarter of 2019. The results from a cointegration analysis suggest that there exists a long-run equilibrium relationship between mineral exports and imports of food, fuel, and some intermediate goods, such as industrial supplies, parts, and accessories. The results from a vector autoregression using first-differenced variables indicate that the short-run relationship between mineral exports and imports is different between the period before and after the third quarter of 2010. Prior to structural changes, i.e., before the third quarter of 2010, import shocks affected mineral exports. However, after the third quarter of 2010, an increase in mineral exports led to an increase in the import of vehicles, intermediate goods, and luxury goods. This paper shows both the possibilities and the limits that mineral exports can contribute to North Korea's economic growth. The results, which show that mineral exports have a long-run relationship with intermediate goods, such as industrial supplies, parts and accessories, imply that mineral exports to China could have a positive effect on the North Korean economy. However, the fact that mineral exports do not have any significant effect on the import of machinery and equipment, which helps the accumulation of capital formation, shows that mineral exports have a limited effect on inducing long-term growth in the North Korean economy.
