The purpose of this paper is to analyze the trend on scale efficiency of the Port of Gwangyang from 1994 to 2004 using CCR, BCC, and Malmquist index approaches. The main results are as follows. first, scale efficiency shows a 50% similar [5(94/95, 95/96, 97/98, 2001/2002, 2003/2004) out of 10] pattern to technical efficiency change. Second, total factor productivity increased at 48.57% rate of growth on average in 6 out of 10 periods except 96/97, 97/98, 99/2000, and 2000/2001. 2003/2004 period is the one period experiencing rapid total factor productivity changes, mainly due to technical progress. Third, the ranking order of accumulative indices is scale efficiency change, TFP change, efficiency change, technical change, and pure efficiency change. The main policy implication of this paper is that according to the CCR, BCC, and Malmquist results, the Port of Gwangyang should develop the plan for enhancing the 5 Malmquist indices with following the management way of benchmarking ports.

본 연구는 1990년대 초 중반의 한국의 화력발전소 자료를 이용하여 발전부문의 생산성 변화를 분석하되, 생산성 변화를 발전소간의 효율성 격차에 의한 부문과 발전부문 전체의 생산함수 이동을 통해 나타나는 기술변화로 나누어 분석하였다. 분석결과, 화력발전소간에는 의미있는 정도의 효율성 격차가 존재하는 것으로 나타났으며, 분석에 포함된 기간 동안 연평균 약 5% 정도의 생산성 증가가 발생하였고, 이 가운데 효율성 격차의 해소를 통한 생산성 증가가 약 2%, 그리고 기술진보에 의한 생산성 증가가 약 3%를 차지하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the change in the productivity of Korean life insurance industry by Generalized Malmquist productivity indices. Generalized Malmquist indices will be decomposed into three components such as pure efficiency change, scale efficiency change, and technical change. The principal findings indicate an overall increase in productivity driven more by technical progress than pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency.

본 논문은 단기신용등급의 변화가 주가에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 고찰함으로써 신용등급의 정보기능과 우리나라 주식시장의 효율성을 함께 검증하는데 그 목적이 있다. 단기신용등급이 변화한 104 상장기업을 대상으로 한 실증분석 결과, 우리나라의 주식시장이 기업의 재무상태와 영업상태를 수시로 주가에 반영하여 신용등급변화의 발표 자체가 갖는 정보효과는 극히 작다는 것을 보임으로써 주식시장의 효율성이 지지되었다. 신용등급변화의 정보효과가 평균적으로는 영에 가까우나 발표일 이전에 관련 정보가 주식시장에 적게 반영된 기업의 경우 신용등급변화의 정보효과가 크게 나타남을 보여줌으로써 신용등급변화의 발표가 기존 정보의 오차를 수정하는 효과가 있음을 시사하였다.

This study analyzed the efficiency change and the factors affecting productivity change for the six railway operation corporations that are local public enterprises; study was performed with the DEA-CCR Model and Malmquist Productivity Index, using data collected from 2010 to 2014. Since it was not feasible to collect data on the operating expenses and the number of employees of each of the lines, the efficiencies of each operation corporation were analyzed by integrating the operation corporations, and the Malmquist Productivity Index was used to investigate the trend of the periodical productivity change. Average efficiency for urban railway operation corporations was found to be higher in the case of the bigger corporations. In 2014, the Seoul Metro and the Daejeon Metropolitan Express Transit Corporations were analyzed and found to be the most efficient operation corporations. The Malmquist Productivity Index was used to determine the periodical change; the average MPI was 1.06, with a continuous increase of productivity. The analysis showed that changes of technology were generally more obvious than change of technology efficiency for all six operation corporations.

This paper measures R&D efficiency and productivity changes of 24 nations including Korea, Japan and China by the non-parametric Malmquist productivity index. The principle findings of this study are as follows. First, R&D efficiency scores of Korea and Japan are 0.837 and 0.834 respectively. Meanwhile China shows 0.420, the worst performance among the selected countries. Second, Korea marked annual productivity increase of 25%, highest among the selected countries', for 2000-2005. R&D productivity in Japan and China, however, decreased 1.9% and 0.9% respectively. Third, annual rates of technology change and technical efficiency change in Japan are 0.6% and -2.5%. Therefore decrease of productivity in Japan is mainly due to technical inefficiency. In case of China, improvement of technical efficiency is the main contributor to productivity growth but technical progress has edged downward in the sample period. In Korea, with annual rate of technology change and technical efficiency change being 5.2% and 18.2% respectively, both efficiency improvement and technical progress has pulled the R&D productivity growth.

본 연구는 Malmquist지수를 이용하여 1997년 외환위기 때부터 2000년까지 국내은행의 생산성 변화를 순수기술효율성, 규모효율성 및 기술진보의 변화로 구분하여 측정함과 동시에 서울소재은행과 지방은행간의 생산성을 비교하였다. 1997년과 2000년간의 순수기술효율성의 변화는 감소하였지만, 규모효율성과 기술진보의 변화가 순수기술효율성의 하락 부분을 상쇄한 결과로 2000년에는 1997년의 생산성 수준을 회복하였다는 것을 확인하였다. $1997{\sim}2000$년의 서울소재 은행과 지방은행간을 비교한 결과에 의하면 서울소재은행의 생산성이 높게 나타났다. 두 집단간에 이러한 차이는 규모효율성으로부터 기인하였으며, 기술혁신을 의미하는 기술진보의 변화에는 두 집단간에 차이가 없었다. 특히 지방은행의 생산성은 2000년에도 1997년도 수준을 회복하지 못하고 있다.

The aim of this study was to analyze the productivity changes in government-funded research institutes for Economics & Humanities and Social Sciences. From Malmquist total factor productivity index analysis, the average productivity decreased 6.5% between 2006 and 2010. Further analysis showed that technical efficiency increased 4.7% annually while the technology change rate decreased 10.8% on average. Under pressure for innovation from the outside, research institutes responded to managerial efficiency improvement, which lead to increases in technical efficiency. On the other hand, for productivity improvement of government funded research institutes, they must pursue technological advances by securing an outstanding research workforce, expanding the R&D budget, and changing the R&D method. Each institute must perceive the cause of an individual institute's productivity change, and establish strategies for increasing productivity.

Climate change affects human and natural environment. Many countries, including Korea, are trying to develop climate change adaptation strategies to minimize adverse impacts of climate change. To deal with climate change efficiently, decisions have to be made among many options. The objectives of this paper is to analyzes methodologies for prioritizing climate change adaptation measures. Each methodology has strength and weakness and information requirements are differ. We find multi-criteria analysis is one of useful tools considering current level of understanding on climate change adaptation. We suggest climate change risks(timing, likelihood, intensity of climate change impacts), feasibility of policy (equity, main-streaming, democracy), effectiveness (economic effectiveness, co-benefits, propagation effects) of adaptation measures as main evaluation criteria of prioritization.
