The Chinese outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) involves various bilateral trade agreements and regional agreements signed between China and other countries. This study examines the impact of Chinese OFDI in ASEAN-5 countries through ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand from 2000 to 2016. This study attempts to address three research objectives. The first is to examine the motives for China's investment in ASEAN-5. The second is to explore the different impacts of China's investment across countries. The third is to investigate whether the OFDI conducted by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) will produce different impacts on the firm's efficiency score. Using the DEA approach, this study finds evidence that the overall Chinese OFDI is relatively efficient. We find that the estimated efficiency score of this OFDI has improved in pre- and post ACFTA where a higher overall efficiency score was reported when comparing pre- and post ACFTA signing for both SOEs and NSOEs. Finally, China's parent firms' efficiencies showed higher scores among NSOEs compared to SOEs after the signing of ACFTA for all ASEAN countries except Malaysia. We highlight that the country's institutional infrastructure, earlier investment presence, and diplomatic ties help in shaping an effective trade agreement.

본 연구는 중국의 WTO가입 이후 중국 각 성 시(省 市)가 조직을 잘 운영하고 있는지 가늠해보고, 이를 근거로 향후 어느 정도 개선이 필요한지를 판단하기 위해서 2002년부터 2006년까지의 중국 각 성 시의 데이터를 이용하여 자료포락분석(DEA)기법 중 투입지향CCR모형과 투입지향BCC모형으로 효율성평가를 실시하였다. 투입지향모형을 활용하는 것은 산출보다는 투입부문에서의 절감 등이 더 용이하다고 판단한 것에 기인하며, 일반적으로 지방정부 효율성평가에서 활용되고 있다. 분석결과 상해만이 2002년부터 2006년까지 꾸준히 효율성이 가장 높은 성(省)으로 나타났는데, 다른 성 시들은 발전과 효율성제고를 위해 상해를 벤치마킹할 필요가 있다고 본다. 지리적 문화적 정서적 차이 등이 있겠지만 서장, 산서, 감숙, 청해, 영하 그리고 신강은 WTO가입 이후에도 지속적으로 효율성이 낮은 지역으로 분류되는데, 다양한 소수민족으로 구성되어 있고 지역 간 경제발전의 편차가 심한 중국의 입장에서는 정책수립 시 이들 지역에 대한 경제발전방안 등을 마련하는데 기초 자료로서 자료포락분석(DEA)기법에 의한 효율성평가결과를 활용하는 것이 바람직할 수도 있다.

본 연구는 각 공항의 2018년 지속가능성 보고서를 바탕으로 21개 국제 공항의 환경 효율성을 측정하였다. 최근 다양한 산업 분야에서 환경 및 사회적 책임에 관심을 기울여왔는데, 특히 항공 분야의 경우 환경 친화적 및 지속가능성 운영에 관심을 보이는 선도적인 부문 중 하나이다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 공항의 환경적 운영에 관련된 연구는 경제적 또는 운영 효율성 연구에 비하면 매우 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 Directional Distance Function (DDF)의 활용을 통해 공항의 환경 비효율성에 대한 개선 여부를 알아보고, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)의 적용을 통해 운영 효율성을 측정하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구 결과, 주요 공항들은 설비를 효율적으로 운영하고 있으나, 그들 모두가 공항에서 배출되는 물질을 효율적으로 운영하지는 못했다. 게다가, 많은 공항은 여전히 잠재적으로 CO2와 물 소비량을 감소시킬 수 있는 개선의 여지가 존재하였다. 이를 통해 본 연구는 항공 분야에서 실행가능한 환경적 개선점을 제시하고자 하였다. 더 나아가서, 다른 산업 분야에서도 환경 효율성 개선을 위한 기준으로서 이 연구를 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Effects of microencapsulated chitooligosaccharide addition in milk were evaluated by determination of the efficiency of microencapsulation, cholesterol removal, color, viscosity and sensory properties. Coating material was polyglycerol monostearate (PGMS) and the efficiency of microencapsulation was 88.08% at a 10:1 ratio of coating to core materials (w/w). When 0.5% of microencapsulated chitooligosaccharide was added into milk, the color values (L, a, and b) and viscosity were significantly different from those of noncapsulated chitooligosaccharide-added groups (p<0.05). The release of chitooligosaccharide from microcapsules was 7.6% in milk at $4^{\circ}C$ for 15-day storage. In both 0.5 and 1.5% microencapsulation addition, the scores of all sensory characteristics except for off-flavor were significantly different between encapsulated chitooligosaccharide and noncapsulated chitooligosaccharide-added groups during all periods of storage. The present study indicated that chitooligosaccharide microcapsules could be applicable into commercial milk with little adverse effects on physical and sensory properties.

In the recent, it is gradually important for airport to consider environmental aspects as sustainable development is emerged. ICAO, FAA and individual countries has tried to reduce airport noise and pollution. Thus, the effort is needed to incorporate environmental factor into productivity indicator of airport. Our paper use DEA method with the non-parametric directional output distance function(DDF) to assess productivity of 14 airports in Korea during 2008~2010. In addition to three inputs, two conventional outputs, two undesirable outputs have been considered : noise and air pollution. Results are compared from models that do not include undesirable outputs. Inclusion in the analysis of the undesirable effects of airport operations leads to greater and closer airport's efficiency scores.

This study measured consumer's recognition, reliability, emotion and images about current eco-marks as well proposed an eco-mark rating scale and mark designs to improve consumer's trust on the fashion product marks. We used a questionnaire survey to collect data from 150 persons about knowledge, interests, and practice on eco fashion products in relation to trustfulness and positive images for three domestic and three international eco-marks. We evaluated and gave eco scores to six fiber-type products (cotton, organic cotton, wool, polyester, biodegradable polyester and nylon) in terms of consumer's use, water & land consumption, waste amount, carbon footprint, and toxicity. We suggested a new 5-level rating scale for eco marks, which quantified the concept of environmental friendliness of fiber products. The design for eco-mark of rating scale showed the total grade with two sub scores of environmental sides and human sides developed with an improved visual understanding for consumers. The design is one through benchmarking the energy-consumption efficiency mark, which is familiar to consumers such as a half circle shape to save environment resources to alarm consumers to environment problems.

This research aimed to determine how a combined yoga and tea meditation program would affect the happiness of adolescents. The investigation was conducted over a total of 11 sessions held twice a week with 15 female middle-school students. Each session lasted 90 min and comprised preparation for 5 min, Hatha yoga for 50 min, tea meditation for 15 min, the expression of feelings for 15 min, and 5 min were allocated to finishing the program and announcing the next session time. A t-test was performed before and after the program to analyze the effects of the program. A goodness of fit test, which is related to the improvement of happiness, was done through a path analysis. As a result, we were able to determine meaningful changes in the t-test scores of happiness, stress, and quality of life. The scores of mindfulness, physical self-concept, and self efficiency changed positively, but meaningful changes were not shown. To derive a final conclusion, we verified the mediator effect with respect to happiness through a structural model. Consequently, physical self-concept was activated as a promoter for improving self-efficiency and mindfulness. Mindfulness was the key factor that improved the happiness of the adolescent subjects.

Background: Based on the importance of ceasing smoking programs to control the regional disparity of smoking behavior in Korea, this study aims to reveal the variation of smoke rate and determinants of it for 229 provinces. An evaluation of the relative efficiency of the cease smoking program under the consideration of regional characteristics was followed. Methods: The main sources of data are the Korean Statistical Information Service and a national survey on the expenditure of public health centers. Multivariate regression is performed to figure the determinants of regional variation of smoking rate. Based on the result of the regression model, clustering analysis was conducted to group 229 regions by their characteristics. Three clusters were generated. Using data envelopment analysis (DEA), relative efficiency scores are calculated. Results from the pooled model which put 229 provinces in one model to score relative efficiency were compared with the cluster-separated model of each cluster. Results: First, the maximum variation of the smoking rate was 16.9%p. Second, sex ration, the proportion of the elder, and high risk drinking alcohol behavior have a significant role in the regional variation of smoking. Third, the population and proportion of the elder are the main variables for clustering. Fourth, dissimilarity on the results of relative efficiency was found between the pooled model and cluster-separated model, especially for cluster 2. Conclusion: This study figured regional variation of smoking rate and its determinants on the regional level. Unconformity of the DEA results between different models implies the issues on regional features when the regional evaluation performed especially on the programs of public health centers.
