Absolute Lorenz curve plays an important role for measuring absolute income inequality. Properties of absolute Lorenz curve are listed. Asymptotically distribution free and consistent tests have been proposed for comparing two absolute Lorenz curves in the whole interval [P1, P2] where 0 < P1 < P2 < 1. Absolute Lorenz ordering has been discussed for some distributions.

Basel II advanced measurement approaches for operational risk need to estimate the frequency and severity distribution of operational losses. Due to lack of internal loss data, the estimation is impossible in many cases and so external loss data might be used by scaling on asset or gross income. To get around lack of loss data, scenario analysis combined with loss distribution approach can be useful in calculating the capital charge of operational risk. However, scenario based loss distribution approach requires much time and effort. Instead we may apply the analytic hierarchy process to measure operational risk of financial institutions. The analytic hierarchy process combined with loss distribution approach is to estimate the capital charge of operational risk in other areas based on the operational VaR in an area with sufficient loss data. AHP provides a tool for timely measurement of operational risk in this rapidly changing global environment.

This paper analyzes how and why household debt distribution by the householder age has changed over the past decade both in Korea and the US. Data shows that the proportion of household debt held by younger households has decreased, while that held by older households has increased. Empirical analysis shows that a change in the demographic distribution of householders is the main driving force that has shifted the household debt distribution. Given that demographic aging is an inevitable trend, the proportion of household debt held by older households is also expected to increase. Therefore, the Korean government must preemptively prepare for the household debt problem, especially for debt held by older households, by strengthening macro-prudential policies, preventing asset price deflation, restructuring household debt contract structures, and reforming labor market inflexibility.

정부는 시장개방에 따른 농가의 경영불안정을 완화하고 농가소득보전을 위해 다양한 형태의 직접지불제를 운용하고 있다. 그러나 농업부문의 직불제는 농업정책의 중심으로 농가소득 안정화의 중요한 역할을 수행하는 핵심적인 정책수단으로 자리잡고 많은 예산이 지출됨에도 불구하고 직불금 수급실태와 소득안정기여도 등 정책효과에 대한 분석이 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 농식품부의 2014년과 2015년의 농업경영체 D.B.를 이용하여 직불금 농가단위 실태분석, 시사점을 도출하고, 제도의 성과평가를 시도하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 평균 거시지표를 활용한 농업분석 등 기존의 연구 틀에서 벗어나, 경영체 DB를 활용하여 농가단위 제도의 성과평가를 시도하고 시사점을 도출한 것이 특징이라 할 수 있다. 직불금 수급실태와 성과평가를 시도한 결과, 직불금 수급액 분포가 정상분포곡선보다 왼쪽으로 많이 치우친 것을 알 수 있었다. 2014년 농업경영체DB에 의하면 전체 농업경영체의 약 절반 수준인 49.3%의 농가가 연간 10만 원도 안 되는 직불금을 수령하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 영농규모가 클수록 소득증대효과와 소득안정화효과 모두 크게 나타났는데, 이는 면적에 비례해서 직불금이 높았기 때문이다. 고령농업경영체일수록 직불금에 의한 농가소득 기여도가 높게 나타난 점은 장점으로 평가되나, 영농규모가 0.5ha미만의 소규모 농가의 직불금의 농가소득 기여도가 3% 수준에 불과한 반면, 10ha이상의 대규모 농가의 직불금 농가소득 기여도가 29.4%로 높게 분석되었다. 대규모 농가는 소규모 농가보다 농업소득은 10배 차이인데, 직불금 수급액은 110배를 더 받는 것으로 분석되어, 향후 직불제도 정책개선 및 수정이 요구된다.

Purpose - As consumers' needs for purchasing fresh and safe food have been bigger in Korea, their interest in local food is also growing recently. So, the number of local food stores has been increased from 3 in 2012 to 103 in 2015. Local food stores should operate a business responding consumers' needs in order that local food stores are not to be a one-time fad. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of consumers who use a local food store and provide helpful implications to design a strategy for sustainable growth of local food store. Research design, data, and methodology - In this study, Probit model was used for empirical analysis in order to examine the effect of purchase choice attributes of agricultural products, consumer's satisfaction, and their demographic factors upon the intention to use a local food store. After estimating coefficients of the probit model, marginal effects were calculated as a standard normal, and cumulative distribution is differentiated with respect to explanatory variables. To collect the data, questionnaire survey was carried out with the consumers using the local food store (Youngjin Nonghyup near to Jeonju city located in Jeollabuk-do). Result - The data analysis found that the more consumers are satisfied with local food store, the higher intention they have to use the local food store. In addition, it was known that the factors related to quality of agricultural products and shopping convenience among the purchase choice attributes have a considerable impact on the purchase intention of a local food store. In demographic factors, income was turned out to be an important factor affecting purchase intention of local food. Such a result supports the hypothesis that high income consumers are likely to purchase local food, which is based on the inference that consumers who have a high income tend to pursue wellbeing life. Futhermore, information delivery, through a reputable media source among general factors, was known to play an important role in forming an intention to purchase local food. According to the analysis of marginal effects, probability of purchase intention of a local food store is increased by 11.4%, if a monthly average income of a household is above 4.5 million Won(Korean currency). If purchasing satisfaction with local food stores is high, the probability of purchase intention would be increased by 24.1%. Likewise, such a probability goes up by 8.7%, 5.8%, respectively as an increasing one unit of quality of agricultural products and shopping convenience of local food stores, respectively. Conclusion - For attaining sustainable growth in a local food store, it is considered necessarily to establish a proper store operation system to meet consumers' needs, especially for quality and shopping convenience of local food. Moreover, as it was found that appropriate communication through media source has a positive effect on the intention to use local food store, PR activity seems to be necessary to expand the consumers' demands for local foods.

Purpose: Housing is the most essential element for well-being in a society. The government would continuously supply decent housings to make a better living condition for people. As various housing policies have been implemented into practice, the effectiveness of policies need to be assessed and improved to rearrange the financial resources. The indicators, such as quality of life, housing supply amount and etc, could be used to estimate housing policy to provide a guidance for a new policy direction. Though various indicators are utilized to assess the policy effect, most of the items are depend upon a relativeness in aspect to assessment goal, items, time and its weighting. Therefore, it needs an absolute indicator to compare the policy effectiveness regardless of time elapse or items. In this paper, it developed the housing welfare indicator to assess the level of living condition, utilizing the Gini coefficient which is used for explanation on income distribution. Method: To suggest an inequity indicator, this paper used Gini coefficient to explain the level of living condition which is used on economics to provide the level of income distribution. Data are collected through the Korea Housing Survey by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport between 2006 and 2014. Indicators of living condition focused on the development of the estimation model using the frequency of room use. Result: Gini coefficient between 2004 and 2014 is about 1.5 score except in year 2013, and the trend of score has been decreased slowly which means the inequality gradually improved. In this result, it implies the living condition and distribution level would be improved than before.

본 연구는 우리나라에서 근로빈곤을 발생 확대시키는 사회구조적 요인들을 실증하고자 하는 것이 연구목적이다. 1982년부터 2004년까지의 통계청 <도시가계조사> 원자료를 활용했고, 거시경제 환경, 노동시장, 분배제도 등 사회구조적 요인들에 대한 시계열 자료를 이용한 다중회귀분석을 실시했다. 성장론자들의 주장과는 달리 경제성장은 근로빈곤층 규모 변화에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 성장기에는 경제성장의 낙리효과(trickle down effect)가 존재하나 포드주의 이후에는 단절된 것으로 확인됐다. 사회복지지출은 근로빈곤을 완화하는데 효과가 없었다. 최근 미국식 자본주의 모델을 도입한 결과 소득분배가 악화되고 고용의 질이 후퇴하고 근로빈곤이 확대돼 왔고, 제도 간 비정합성이 표출돼 사회경제적 지속성에 의문이 제기되고 있는 만큼, 한국형 사회적 시장경제모델로의 전환을 모색해 안정적이고 지속가능한 모델을 구현해야 한다.

Objectives : To assess the distribution of social support, and explore its effects on self-rated health status in a low income neighborhood of Seoul, Korea. Methods : In September 2001 we conducted a survey in a low income neighborhood of Seoul, Korea, in which 862 residents, aged 18 years or over, participated. We measured the general sociodemographic characteristics, self-rated health status and social support with the instrument developed from Korean translation of the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support survey (MOS-SSS) scale of the US. Logistic regression was used to identify the determinants of social support, and explore its effects on self-rated health status. Results : Lower social class, women or divorced people had much less social support compared to higher social class, men or those never married, respectively. Those families on much lower income also received less social support. Social support has a positive impact on the self-rated health status, which remains statistically significant even when other relevant variables are adjusted. Conclusions : This study suggests that social support has an important role in health, and the socially disadvantaged have lower social support. Therefore, to improve the health status of the poor, it is necessary to encourage community participation, and develop strategies that could strengthen their provision of social support.

The study intends to investigate a short-run and a long-run causality among money, income, and prices in the Keynesian and Monetarists framework. This study emphasizes the importance of unrecorded money, which exists alongside legal monetary assets and plays a dual function in determining economic prosperity. The underground economy, which is a hidden component of aggregate economic activity, is determined using Tanzi's monetary approach (Tanzi, 1980). This research uses a time series of annual data from 1990 to 2019 for this purpose. The data is extracted from the World Bank database for the monetary and development indicators. The study keeping in view the trending nature in data follows a unit root testing followed by the Autoregressive Distributive Lag Model (ARDL) to assess the long and short-run dynamics of causality among the variables. In both the pricing and income equations, the study finds a significant level link among the variables; however, there is no evidence of the presence of a level association in the money equation. The short-run causal relationship provides evidence of bi-directional causation between the supply of money and national income. The outcome of this study advise that though the view point of both the Monetarist and Keynesian school holds in both short and long run, however, in Pakistan only the Monetarists' role of money supply and income holds in Pakistan. This evidence would be of precise interest to the policy-makers.
