As part of the ongoing global process of airlines forming strategic alliances, Korean Air has become a member of the SkyTeam Alliance, while Asiana has joined the Star Alliance. However, as something akin to the Anti-Trust Immunity(ATI) initiative has not been ratified domestically, these two airlines have seen their roles within these strategic alliances significantly reduced. In keeping with its domestic airline liberalization policy the U.S. government has instituted a mechanism through which foreign airlines that join such strategic alliances with their American counterparts can be exempt from the U.S. antimonopoly law. As a result, U.S. airlines have been able to forge wide ranging cooperative relations with foreign airlines, and thus increased their competitiveness within the air transport industry. This study analyzes the applicability of this Anti-Trust Immunity initiative to the domestic environment.

This paper evaluates the new food policy adopted by the European Union to enhance the food safety after the mad cow crisis occurred in 1990's. Newly introduced rules at the EU level are characterized by two features. Firstly, an important part of them have the form of Regulation which is a binding legislative to all member countries. Secondly, most of them are horizontally applied to the whole food industry, irrespective of their kinds of performance, hygiene or labelling. According to theoretical studies on this topic, any food safety regulation for solving adverse selection problem or reducing negative externality in food consumption should be fine-tuning depending on the concrete demand and costs conditions of the food sector concerned. In this theoretical perspective, the food safety laws introduced at EU level after mad cow crisis have been over-regulated for improving social welfare. The true motivation for the transfer of the policy competence on food safety to the Union level is political rather than economic. Our analysis with a political economic perspective shows that how the EU food regulations have been embraced not only by the governments of member countries, but also by diverse interest groups like food processor & distributors, consumers and agro-livestock groups, and that they have been used as protectionist purpose specially against non-member developing countries. Taking into account the fact that the basic aim to form the Union is to establish a single market to enhance economic efficiency at the Union level, the EU is required to adopt some policy actions to reduce negative effects of too restrictive food safety regulations.

An integrated assessment model of climate and the economy (IAM) has been a standard tool for the economic analysis of climate change and policy recommendations. Since policy measures to address climate change take places at a national level, a regional integrated assessment model of climate and the economy (RIAM) is gaining more importance. A RIAM is a useful tool for the assessment of regional (or national) impacts of climate change. This paper investigates the main features of the currently available RIAMs. The focus is social welfare functions and the regional aspects of climate change. The comparative analysis shows that there is a huge gap between the economics of climate change and its applications to RIAMs. As an application, this paper examines the effect of social welfare functions on optimal solutions of the RICE (Regional Integrated model of Climate and the Economy) model. It is found that optimal climate policy such as carbon tax or emissions control rate is very sensitive to the assumptions on social welfare functions of RIAMs. It is better for each country to have their own RIAM as a basic tool for national climate policy-making and for international bargaining in greenhouse-gas mitigation. This is because a country's own preferences such as efficiency, equity, and sustainable development as well as national circumstances can be reflected in RIAM. The Republic of Korea has not developed its own RIAM yet. The comparative analysis and the numerical model in this paper can be a stepping stone for the development of such a national model.

In this paper, author estimated economic scale of radiation usage in Korea using Input-Output table 2005 and other micro data published. This estimation focused all kind of radiation usage in whole economic activity. Estimation of economic scale is quantitative analysis for how much radiation usage increase productivity and welfare. Economic scale estimation of radiation usage in Korea 2005 is 6,297 Billion Won and it occupies 0.74% of GDP. It is smaller level compared with that of US and Japan. It is 1.5% of GDP in US (1997) and 1.2% of GDP in Japan (2005). Radiation usage in industrial sector is 5,775 Billion Won and it is 0.68% of GDP. Radiation usage in agriculture sector is 171 Billion Won and it is 0.02% of GDP. Radiation usage in medical sector is 351 Billion Won and it is 0.04% of GDP. This implied that radiation usage in industrial sector is larger than other sector. Use of medical radiology may be enlarge in the future due to population structure. The result that radiation usage occupied 0.74% of GDP arouse contribution of radiation usage in daily life. It helps people to have more understanding and public acceptance for radiation.

최근 각국은 자국의 해양자원을 보존한다는 명분으로 EEZ선포를 서두르고 있다. 한반도 주변과 같이 서로 인접한 수역에서의 EEZ설정은 필연적으로 각국의 이해관계가 상충될 수밖에 없고 따라서 이의 해결을 위해 인접국들은 합의에 의해 공동어로수역을 설정하고 이를 공동을 관할하려 할 것이다. 이 논문은 각국이 공동어로 수역을 설정하여 접속수역에 대해 인접국에게 관할권을 부여할 경우 초래될 수 있는 점을 게임이론과 정치경제적인 접근으로 이러한 문제를 다루었다. 즉, 접속수역에서 인접국은 자원의 채취에 있어서 다국과의 차별적인 규제를 시행하고 타국도 마찬가지의 정책을 구사할 경우 도덕적 위해(moral hazard)에 의해 각국의 접속수역에서의 자원이 가속적으로 고갈될 수 있다는 점을 보이고 있다. 또한 단기적인 전략적 산업정책의 수행은 타국의 희생하에 시장점유율을 확대시키며 그 결과 이윤의 이전을 가져오며 이는 자국 후생의 향상을 가져올 수 있다는 브랜드-스펜서(Brander-Spencer)의 결과는 수산자원과 같은 갱생지원의 경우에는 적용될 수 없다는 점을 보이고 있다.

The depreciation cost in the telecommunication industry plays an important role not olny in calculating a corporation tax and telecommunication charge but also ill evaluating the profitability and national welfare. This paper proposes the study on LRIC model based network costing in major foreign countries and the depreciation methods applicable to telecommunication network. The simulation result from each methods could be based on determining a network costing model and legislation in the telecommunication.

Korea has passed the Act on the Integrated Control of Pollutant-Discharging Facilities in 2015, and the integrated environmental management under the BAT standard is underway. To summarize the nature of integrated environmental management, it is the regulation by the integration of the management of the multi-pollutant source and the technical standard of BATs. In general, in environmental economics, regulation-based on technical standards are known to be inefficient. This paper attempts to evaluate the efficiency of BAT standards from an economic point of view. A simple multi-pollutant model demonstrates that the inefficiency of the environmental tax with imperfect information in a single pollutant situation is amplified under multi-pollutant conditions. The simultaneous introduction of BAT and IPPC can be partially explained by this logic. It is also highlighted by the strengthening of BAT standards by EU, as a countermeasure to the potential deterioration of air quality caused by the change of effective environmental taxes accompanying the fuel and emission price changes.

치수사업에서 실시하는 경제성분석은 계획하고 있는 사업의 사회적 후생의 극대화 측면에서 경제적 타당성을 분석 평가하는 것으로서 일반적으로 편익${\cdot}$비용분석이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 경제성분석시의 문제점으로 직접편익뿐 아니라 간접편익 및 비계량편익에 해당하는 사업의 효과도 편익부분의 계산에 포함할 수 있는 방법이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 홍수에 의한 교통두절로 인한 피해를 간접편익으로 고려하여 오산천지역에 적용해 보았다. 교통두절피해 편익의 항목으로서 주로 차량운행비용 절감과 통행시간비용 절감의 두 항목을 고려하였으며, 이 두 항목에 내한 결과에서 홍수지체시간당(단위 1일당) 적지 않은 편익이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 일반적인 치수사업 경제성분석에서 이뤄지지 않았던 교통두절에 의한 피해항목을 간접편익으로 고려함으로써 홍수로 인한 교통두절피해를 정량적으로 계량할 수 있었으며, 실질적으로 편익에 영향이 가장 큰 편익가치(재화가치, 시간가치)에 대한 연구가 계속적으로 수반된다면 이후의 다른 치수사업 경제성분석시에 효과적인 분석이 이뤄질 것으로 판단된다.

경쟁법은 혁신을 촉진할 수 있고, 소비자후생을 증대한다. 지적재산권의 제한적인 배타성도 혁신을 촉진할 수 있고, 소비자에게 이롭다. 경쟁법과 지적재산권법의 상호관계는 상호조화가 필요한 보완관계로 파악하여야 한다. 우리 경제가 신경제화되고, 첨단기술 산업의 발전과 함께 성장하고, 지적재산권의 강력한 보호의 방향으로 나아가는 것을 전제할 때, 경쟁법은 그 변화에 대응하여 시장에서 발생하는 지적재산권에 관련한 공정거래법 위반사건에 대한 처리기준을 준비하여야 할 것이다.
