Purpose: Cost-benefit analysis is one of the most commonly used economic evaluation methods, which helps to inform the economic value of a program to decision makers. However, the selection of a correct benefit estimation method remains critical for accurate cost-benefit analysis. This paper compared benefit estimations among three different benefit estimation models. Methods: Data from community-based chronic hypertension management programs in a city in South Korea were used. Three different benefit estimation methods were compared. The first was a standard deterministic estimation model; second, a repeated-measures deterministic estimation model; and third, a transitional probability estimation model. Results: The estimated net benefit of the three different methods were $1,273.01, $-3,749.42, and $-5,122.55 respectively. Conclusion: The transitional probability estimation model showed the most correct and realistic benefit estimation, as it traced possible paths of changing status between time points and it accounted for both positive and negative benefits.

The effects of weather on aircraft operations are predominant. In particular, severe weather, such as fog, strong winds, rainfall and snow, can cause delays, diversion or cancellation of operations. Of these, fog is considered the main reason for restricting aircraft operations. Meanwhile, Precision instrument approach using instrument landing system(ILS) has allowed aircraft to land safely even in situations where visibility is limited. However, the precision instrument approach require not only the performance of the aircraft but also the enhancement of the runway. In November 2018, Gimpo international Airport raised the category of the runway 14R from CAT-IIIa to CAT-IIIb to improve aviation safety and operational efficiency. Based on this, the research presented a methodology for estimating benefits according to the category upgrade of the precision approach runway, and estimated the benefits to Gimpo International Airport based on the methodology presented.

본 연구의 목적은 댐방류에 의한 하류하천의 수질개선효과를 대체댐이 아닌 하수처리시설을 대체시설의 비용으로 적용하여 국내 실정에 맞게 편익으로 산정하는 방법론을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위해 댐을 대체하는 시설은 댐의 방류수와 동일한 기능을 제공해야 하고, 두 시설간의 비용을 객관적으로 비교할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문은 대체비용법을 이용하여 수질개선편익을 산정하기 위해 대체시설(하수처리장)의 비용 산정방법, 비용 편익분석 관련 기준인 내용연수와 대수선비율의 근거를 제시하였다. 사례연구로서, 낙동강수계의 내성천에 계획한 송리원댐의 수질개선편익을 산정하였으며, 그 결과는 연평균 방류시 644,006 백만원, 수질악화기의 최대방류시 1,351,526 백만원으로 산정되었다. 본 연구방법은 환경개선용수 공급사업시 실무에서 활용 가능한 수질개선 편익산정방법이 될 것으로 기대된다.

PURPOSES : This study aims at proposing the methodology for benefit evaluations in pavement maintenance methods and timings using KoPMS(Korean Pavement Management System) software which was developed for efficient pavement management. METHODS : This study classified pavement sections into 4 clusters considering AADT(Annual Average Daily Traffic) and ESAL(Equivalent Single-Axle Load) using cluster analysis and used the deterioration models in each cluster. Increased user costs due to pavement deterioration as time goes by and agent costs for maintenance were estimated. Based on deterioration model and KoPMS software, Methodology for benefit evaluation was proposed in pavement maintenance methods and with/without implementation using real pavement section data. RESULTS : This study verified that considering agent costs only would be constrained to decide pavement maintenance methods and timings, and ascertained that decision making with agent and user costs would be effective. In addition, this study revealed that pavement maintenance methods and timings can be affected by AADT and ESAL and frequent pavement maintenances can be more efficient for benefits in pavement sections with more AADT and ESAL. Also this study found that user costs would be more affected to decision making than agent costs. Moreover, Delay of conducting pavement maintenance caused increased vehicle operating costs and environmental costs because of poor conditions of pavements. CONCLUSIONS : This study proposed LCCA and benefit estimation methodology of pavement with considering agent and user costs. The results of this study can be used for baseline data of efficient pavement asset management.

There has not been any scientific analysis on appropriate size of workforce and salary for civilian workers in military so far. Thus, this paper conducted analysis on propriety in employment size of military doctrine researchers using system dynamic methodology based on annual military doctrine workload. Vensim software was mainly used to measure complement of the research group based on data from job analysis. Secondly, a multiple regression analysis was performed to study an appropriate wage for researchers based on their expertise and working condition. The data from twenty public research institutions and twenty eight job positions that are performing similar duty with military doctrine researchers was obtained and utilized to create a salary-estimation regression equation in the analysis. Finally, with cost-benefit analysis method this paper studied financial effectiveness of hiring military doctrine researchers. Contingent valuation method, which has been recognized as one of the most effective methodologies in cost-benefit analysis on intangible value, was utilized to measure benefit of hiring the researchers. The methodology presented in this paper can be applied to measure and improve the efficiency of military organization not only in military doctrine research area but also in several military functional area (military training, logistics, administration, combat development, and combat support).

기존의 WTP를 이용한 수질개선 관련 편익산정 연구들은 특정 하천에 대하여 '모든 종류의 물놀이 가능한 2급수로 개선', '수영가능수준으로 개선' 등을 설문대상으로 하여 지불의사를 산정한 다음, 해당 유역의 가구수를 곱하여 편익으로 산정하였다. 이는 특정 수자원개발사업에 대한 편익이 아니며, 설문작성 과정에서 수질개선 정도에 대한 객관적인 설명이 부족하고, 단순화되었기 때문에 설문응답자들에게 설문대상재화에 대한 정보를 전달하는데 미흡한 점이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수자원개발사업시 상수도 원수수질개선에 대한 편익/비용분석에 적용할 수 있는 편익산정방법론을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 수도권을 대상으로 하여 용수를 사용하는 소비자의 BOD 개선정도별 지불의사(WTP)를 설문을 조사하고, 설문결과를 통계분석하여 수질개선-지불의사 관계식을 도출하였다. 사례연구로서 낙동강수계의 내성천 지방2급하천 구간에 계획한 송리원 다목적댐을 대상으로 적용하였다. 방류시나리오별 연평균편익산정 결과, 연평균계획방류량($4.79m^3/s$) 방류시 5,980 백만원, 풍수기(7~10월)를 제외한 기간의 계획방류량($7.22m^3/s$) 방류시 8,663 백만원, 수질악화기 계획방류량($10.72m^3/s$) 방류시 11,905 백만원, 최대계획방류량($13.54m^3/s$) 방류시 14,502 백만원으로 산정되었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 가구소득별 수질개선 (BOD)-지불의사(WTP) 관계식을 이용함으로써 수질개선사업에 대한 원수수질편익을 산정할 때 수질개선정도에 상관없이 쉽게 편익을 산정할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose As Korean economy has been sluggish in recent years, firms' interest in publicly financed projects has increased due to the relatively increasing proportion in the economy. Since 1999, publicly financed projects in Korea need to undergo preliminary feasibility study to evaluate economic efficiency and policy quality if they are larger than a certain scale. The benefits of public projects are one of the most important factors in the preliminary feasibility study but are difficult to estimate due to their nature. Design/methodology/approach This study estimates the benefits of the agricultural soil information database, a public database in Korea. The method used in the study is the stated preference method which is formally used in Korea's preliminary feasibility study. Data are collected through surveys and a logit model is constructed to be estimated by the maximum likelihood estimation method. Findings As the first study evaluating a public database, this study can be used as a baseline in all public database projects developed in the future. In addition, this study can contribute to improving the understanding of both private companies and public organizations who are interested in the cost-benefit analysis and estimation procedure for the publicly financed projects.

One of the primary goals of the simulation experiments is to understand the overall system behavior and to analyze the system, ultimately to optimize the system. Optimizing the system includes determining the optimum condition of the system parameters of interest. This paper is concerned with the simulation methodology for estimating the unknown objective function for the system of interest and optimizing the system with respect to the controllable factors. In the process of estimating the unknown objective function, which is assumed to be a second order spline function, we use common random numbers for different set of the controllable factors resulting in more accurate parameter estimation for the objective function. We will show some mathematical result for the benefit of using common random numbers.

This study suggests a method for calculating the benefits of water pipe renewal based on an estimate of the water supply suspension risk. The proposed method based on five benefit items is more direct and specific than other benefit estimation methods. In addition, a methodology evaluating the economics of pipe renewal based on pipe failure rate is proposed for estimating the optimal renewal point from an economic perspective. By estimating the optimal renewal period based on a yearly benefit cost ratio per pipe in a case study area, it was possible to draft an optimal renewal plan for the subject region from an economic perspective. Compared with other methodologies, a reasonable optimal renewal period was derived from an economic point of view. The result of this study may be used to develop future water pipe renewal plans. Moreover, the proposed methodologies and results derived from this study can be applied to asset management plans.
