In the field of information technology, broadband, internet and information flow have been found to be the primary elements to indicate access to information in this current information age. We examine whether the country difference in Broadband use, Internet use and information flow existing in 1991 has been reduced and if so how fast. Convergence framework had been utilised to answer these questions for 43 African countries. The results indicated that all the three chosen information technology indicators for 43 African countries are converging toward a reduction of dispersion and a catch-up process during the period 1991-2015. However, there are marked differences exhibited in the convergence processes for the Total groups and for the subgroups of countries by income level.

Identifying factors that influence consumers' intentions to adopt a smartwatch has become a major research interest in marketing literature, yet little is known about it in dissimilar cultural settings. The current research employs a comparative study of South Korea and Indonesia, which differ in location and cultural heritage, smartwatch penetration rate, geographic size, level of income, and developmental stage as a country. An extended model of TAM is proposed, and PLS-SEM is employed to test the model on data collected from 262 respondents. The findings indicate that complementary goods and healthtology have positive influences on perceived usefulness and visibility has a positive influence on social image; these, together with perceived price value, lead to the behavioral intention to adopt a smartwatch in both countries. Perceived cost was only significant for Indonesia. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are further discussed.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the cognition of dental caries prevention by the level of socioeconomic status based on Gallup survey in Korea. Methods: This study was done by Korean Gallup survey in October, 2010. A trained researcher carried out the computer aided telephone interview(CATI) using a structured questionnaire. This study was based on the latest population statistics of resident registration and whole country's phone data base. This survey included 869 selected Korean adults over 19 years old, and they were asked to answer a CATI. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects and socioeconomic factors including age, gender, education level, monthly income, and residential area. Cognition of dental caries prevention was measured by Likert 4 scale including 'much', 'a little', 'rarely', and 'never'. The attitude toward dental caries prevention consisted of daily tooth brushing frequency, experience of oral health education, regular dental checkup, chewing gums(xylitol), regular scaling, and use of oral care devices. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 for frequency analysis, t-test, chi-square test, and one way ANOVA. Cronbach's alpha was 0.462 in oral health concern and attitude. Results: Mean of the frequencies of daily tooth brushing in men was 2.54 times and 2.78 in women. By the comparison to age group, 35-44 years old group had 2.82 times, 19-37 years old group had 2.72 times, and 45-64 years old group had 2.51 times. The level of education and monthly income was proportional to the tooth brushing frequency. Highly educated and higher monthly income group received regular dental checkup within a year and used the auxiliary oral health care devices. Conclusions: This study suggested the relationship between dental caries prevention and socioeconomic status. It is important to provide the low socioeconomic group with the better oral health promotion services in the future.

This study aimed to investigate the factors that influence multicultural adolescents' proficiency in their mother's native language, or their immigrant mother's native language. A hierarchical regression analysis was performed on data from the survey answered by 1,028 multicultural adolescents aged 15 years old and whose mothers were from foreign countries for the 6th Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study(MAPS) conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute (NYPI) in 2016. The main results are as follows. First, multicultural adolescents' minority language proficiency was generally low and significant differences were observed according to their gender, parents' educational level, household income, and mother's native country. More specifically, a higher proficiency in minority language was found for girls than boys, adolescents with a higher parental educational level, adolescents with a higher income, and adolescents whose mothers were from Japan or China, compared with those from the Philippines, Thailand, or Vietnam. Second, a significant positive correlation was observed between multicultural adolescents' minority language proficiency and 1) foreign culture acceptance, 2) parent's educational support, and 3) the use of the minority language at home. Third, foreign culture acceptance, parents' educational support, and the use of the minority language at home were predictors of multicultural adolescents' minority language proficiency. The study is meaningful in that it examined multicultural adolescents' minority language proficiency, elucidating their bilingual development, whereas previous studies have only focused on their proficiency in Korean, which is the majority language.

Other-regarding preferences (such as trust, reciprocity and altruism) between companies, between consumers and retailers, and between employers and employees are integral elements in determining economic performance. Social trust which is a core element of social capital, especially, is known to reduce transaction costs, help solve collective action problems, and contribute to economic, social, and political development. Therefore, social trust has been given a great deal of attention across an array of academic disciplines for its role in promoting cooperation among individuals and groups, and for its positive influence on economic performance. Most studies describe Korea as a low-trust society than Japan or China. To identify the causes of social trust, this paper focuses on differences of social values (perception on competition and wealth accumulation) in 4 countries (Japan, China, Korea, and United States). Based on World Values Survey data, this paper analyzes effects of the social values on social trust. Social trust was measured by degree to which a respondent thinks that most people can be trusted. Perception on competition was measured by the degree to which a respondent thinks that competition is harmful, and perception on wealth accumulation was done by the degree to which a respondent thinks that wealth can grow so there is enough for everyone. The results showed that social trust was affected by perception on competition and wealth accumulation. A respondent showed higher level of social trust when he (or she) perceived positively competition and wealth accumulation. For enhancing social trust in a country, it is not easy to reduce income inequality and corruption which were reported as causes of social trust by previous studies. Compared to them, social values can be changed more easily by various concrete measures like education and mass-media. Differently from previous studies this paper stresses the concrete measures to enhance social trust in a country.

본 연구는 빅데이터를 활용하여 투자 및 육성지원이 지역내총생산에 미치는 영향력을 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 지역내총생산(GRDP)은 각 지역의 생산규모·지출수준·소득수준·산업구조 등을 집약적으로 내포하고 있는 지수로써, 지역경제 분석 및 국가의 정책수립에 활용하는 중요한 자료이다. 국가의 주요 국정과제를 올바르게 수행하기 위해서는 지역경제를 정확히 파악하는 것이 선행되어야 하는데, 이로 인해 최근 지역내총생산에 대한 관심이 급격히 증가하고 있다. 특히 해외투자는 투자유치국의 경제에 미치는 영향력이 상당하여, 이에 대한 많은 실증분석이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해외투자 및 국내육성지원이 지역내총생산에 미치는 영향력을 상관분석과 다중회귀분석을 실시하였으며, 그 결과 전체적으로 투자와 지원이 지역내총생산에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 결론을 도출하였다.

본 연구는 국가 경제 성장과 관련된 창업 (start-up) 활동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하는 국가 수준에서의 실증 연구이다. 창업 활동의 기반인 기업가정신에 대한 개인 수준에서 분석과 달리 GEM (Global Entrepreneur Monitor)에서 발행한 연간 데이터베이스를 활용한 실증 분석을 수행하였다. 나라별 초기창업활동 (TEA: total early-stage entrepreneurial activity) 지수를 이용하여 TEA에 영향을 미치는 영향요인을 경제 요인과 비경제적 요인을 구분하여 분석하였다. 선행 연구를 기반으로 국민소득 수준, 실업률을 포함하여 국가의 문화적 특성 변수 등 9개 요인을 국가 창업 활동의 영향 요인으로 제시하였으며 경제발전 수준에 따라 요소주도형, 효율주도형, 혁신주도형으로 국가를 구분한 패널데이터를 회귀 분석 모형을 통하여 실증 분석하였다. 본 연구의 분석 결과, 기존연구들에서 설명하고 있는 국민소득 수준과 창업 활동 사이의 U자 형태'를 명시적인 2차 함수 회귀분석을 통하여 추정하였으며 그에 따라 창업활동의 변곡점이 되는 소득수준을 발견하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해서 요소주도형 및 효율성주도형 경제에서는 생계형 창업활동이 활발한 반면 혁신주도형 경제에서는 기회추구형 창업활동이 활발하다는 기존의 주장들을 설명할 수 있음을 보였다. 특히, 창업활동 활성화를 위한 정부지원 프로그램에 대해 실증분석해 본 결과, 요소주도형 및 효율성주도형 경제에서는 유의한 긍정적 효과를 미치고 있으나 혁신형 경제에서는 그 효과가 오히려 부정적이라는 결과를 발견하였다. 이는 창업지원 정책이 경제발전단계에 따라 달라져야 함을 보여주는 결과로서 많은 정책적 시사점을 제시한다. 마지막으로 창업관련 교육의 정도와 새로운 비즈니스를 지원하는 사회문화적인 규범으로서의 창업 문화는 국가의 경제 수준과 상관없이 모두 창업활동에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있음을 발견하였다. 이는 어느 단계의 경제이든 창업 문화 조성이 필요하다는 시사점을 함축하고 있다.

This article examines social determinants of population health in OECD countries, where life years, infant mortality, and PYLL are used as proxy variables of health. The unit of analysis is a country which is the OECD affiliate. A panel regression estimation is chosen as a method, using OECD Health Data. The results are: the increasing national health expenditure affected positively to improve population health. Education was rather a significant determinant of health than income level. The government direct investment for public health did not contribute positively to enhance population health. The expansion of health care coverage was working positively for improving health, but with a time lag. The supply of doctors was a most influential determinant of health. In case of Korea, the coverage expansion of health care was the most important determinant of health. The supply of doctors was, however, not a positive factor for better health, which is different result with the case of OECD countries.
