  • Electricity is the basic building block of economic development, and constitutes one of the vital infra-structural inputs in socio-economic development. The demand for electricity has been increasing due to extensive urbanization, industrialization, and a rise in the standard of living, as is the case with residential electricity consumption. This paper attempts to estimate the consumer surplus and the economic value of the residential consumption of electricity in Seoul to assist in decision-making in electricity management. The estimated consumer surplus represents the value of the area under the demand curve, above the actual price that is paid for residential electricity consumption. The estimated annual consumer surplus and economic value for the year 2005 amount to 2,144.7 and 3,727.4 billion won, respectively. The estimates per kWh were 184.9 and 316.0 won, respectively, which imply that the consumer surplus and the economic value of residential electricity consumption significantly outweigh the average price of electricity in 2005 of 91.1 won per kWh.

In Malaysia, marketeers do not seem to understand well enough the perceptions of consumers according to mobile marketing, especially to the mobile service users. This study analyses and evaluates any significant relationship between consumer perceptions and intentions with respect to mobile marketing, and seeks to determine the expectations, preferences, pattern and usage of the consumers of Mobile Marketing Product and Service (MMP&S). The data was obtained by convenience sampling in the big cities of Malaysia. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed and a sample of 112 usable questionnaires was selected. The result of this research applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) point to the fact that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived innovative, social influence have a direct positive relationship with the intention to use mobile marketing. This, in turn, can shed light on the main factors determining consumer intentions to use mobile marketing that may control consumer adoption of mobile marketing.

  • 본 논문은 이동통신시장에서 상호접속료가 소비자 후생에 미치는 영향을 실증분석을 통해 시사점을 도출하였다. 현재 상호접속료 정책은 사업자 전체를 규제하는 개별요율제와 함께 TD BUah형을 혼합한 장기증분원가 체계로 운영되고 있기 때문에 이와 같은 산정모형과 정책적 요인이 소비자후생에 미치는 영향을 분석하거 위하여 log선형함수를 이용한 소비자 후생의 측정과, 정책변수를 더미화 한 소비자 후생 결정 모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 소비자 후생은 2009년 기준으로 약 6조원으로 나타났으며, 최근 기준으로 상승세를 보이고 있었다. 상호접속료의 하락은 소비자 후생을 증진시키는 것으로 나타났지만, 개별요율제와 현재의 장기증분원가 체계는 소비자 후생과 부(-)의 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타나, 정책 프레임의 수정이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
