  • Shipbuilding industry is one of the most influential ones in Korea. As shipbuilding industry is labor-intensive, it contributes to enhancing both local economy and national economy. Shipbuilding industry has been downsizing since the end of 2008 due to global financial crisis caused by America's sub-prime mortgage and aggravated by European countries' fiscal deficit. As a large fund is required for a single normal shipbuilding contract, fund raising is one of the most important elements in shipbuilding contract. Shipbuilding contract, requires refund guarantee in order for a buyer to reimburse the progressive payment paid to a builder. The disputes under shipbuilding contracts are mostly settled by arbitration rather than by law suit. English laws and English courts have been preferred for the choice of law as well as for the choice of forum. Due to depreciation of the ship value since the end of 2008, a number of buyers are trying to cancel the contract by raising unjust claim under the contract. Once disputes occurs regarding shipbuilding contract, a large amount of loss is inevitable. In order to mitigate the disputes arising from the shipbuilding contract, careful caution is required in drafting a shipbuilding contract.

  • I build a small open economy (SOE) dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model to investigate the effect of a heterogeneous wage contract between regular and temporary workers on a macroeconomic volatility in a financially fragile economy. The imperfect financial market condition is captured by a quadratic financial adjustment cost for borrowing foreign assets, and the labor market friction is captured by a Nash bargaining process which is only available to the regular workers when they negotiate their wages with the firms while the temporary workers are given their wage which simply equals the marginal cost. As a result of impulse responsesto a domestic productivity shock, the higher elasticity of substitution between two types of workers and the lower weight on the regular workers in the firm's production process induce the higher volatilities in most variables. This is reasoned that the higher substitutability creates more volatile wage determination process while the lower share of the regular workers weakens their Nash bargaining power in the contract process.

  • Construction cost index is generally used to estimate the new project cost based on past construction data and to adjust contract cost when the price change of various articles and items of expenditure composing the contract occurs. In Korea, it is mostly used for adjustment of construction contract cost due to fluctuation of prices. However index adjustment rate which is used for adjustment of construction contract cost had some problems in calculating cost index of each expenditure item that could not reflect properly the change of construction cost. For supplementing these problems, the research of developing construction cost index has been executed. Through the precedent research, these problems were partially resolved but still remain. Therefore this research proposes method of making cost index that utilizes representative items of labor, material, and equipment by analyzing bill of quantity of road construction, through analysis and comparison of precedent study. By using this method, it is expected to solve problems which were not reflected in precedent studies.

  • The purpose of this research is to identify the relation between OFDI (Outward Foreign Direct Investment) and wage inequality. In order to analyze various effects of OFDI on wages depending on the types of workers, the research classified laborers into four categories: permanent/skilled worker, permanent/unskilled worker, temporary/skilled worker, and temporary/unskilled worker. With controlling wage-determining factors such as education, labor union, individual fixed-effect, and industry-level effect, this paper examines whether OFDI attributes to the wage inequality among each type of workers. Moreover, this study also analyzes possible effects on wages that could vary according to the different characteristics of investments by classifying OFDI into two groups: OECD and non-OECD. The results reveal that OFDI makes certain differences according to skill-intensity and contract type in terms of influences on wages. It also shows that the effect of OFDI on wages is more subject to contract type than to skill-intensity. The classification of OFDI into OECD and non-OECD proves that effects on wages can vary by characteristics of the subject of investment.

  • The United States demands that the Korean Government include in the WTO GPA the privately invested projects of the BOT contract. Controversy surrounding BOT contract will continue. As of result of opening up of private investment market including BOT contracts, inflow of foreign capital will be expanded, and it will provide an opportunity for rectifying any unreasonable policies or regulations. With active penetration of foreign companies, there is a possibility for deepening of competition in the private investment market, and if a foreign administrative company is selected, possibility of assigning high value works such as design to foreign companies leaving labor intensive work such as construction to domestic companies exists, and also, difficulties resulting from agreement between the employer and the foreign administrative company exists. Large-scale construction companies must put forth their efficiency and creativity, and through revolutionary constructions by private sectors, reduction in construction cost should be made possible, and must also increase efficiency in maintenance, repair, and management of the facility. On the other hand, in order for Korean construction companies of BOT businesses to be able to enter the foreign BOT industry, the government needs to conduct studies in information and policies of various nations.

  • 여객이 1999년 몬트리올 협약 제17조상 사고로 인정되는 범위 내에서 사상을 당하였을 때 항공운송인은 위 협약을 근거로 손해배상을 받을 수 있다. 항공기에 탑승한 승무원이 같은 사고로 인하여 사상을 당한 경우 몬트리올협약을 배타적으로 적용받는 여객과는 달리 항공사와 체결한 근로 계약상 준거법인 노동법에 의하여 보상받게 된다. 승무원이 근로제공을 위하여 항공기에 탑승하는 것은 근로계약을 근거로 한 것이지 항공여객운송계약을 근거로 하는 것이 아니다. 그러므로 사고로 인하여 항공기에 탑승한 승무원이 사상을 당한 경우, 사용자인 항공사에 대하여 근로계약에 기한 채무불이행 책임을 묻는 경우에는 노동법이, 근로자 또는 유족이 사용자를 상대로 불법행위에 기한 손해배상을 청구하는 경우에는 민법이 적용된다. 이와 관련하여 중국항공사에 근무하는 중국승무원이 대한민국에서 사고를 당하여 사망한 경우 유족이 중국 항공사를 상대로 손해배상을 청구하는 사건에서 불법행위지인 대한민국에서 국제재판관할이 있는지 여부, 이때의 준거법은 법정지법인 대한민국법이 되는지 근로계약의 준거법인 중국법이 적용되는지 대법원 2010. 7. 15. 선고 2010다18355 판결을 통하여 살펴보았다. 또한 서울지방법원 1995.5.18. 선고 94가단14412판결은 비행근무 중 상해를 입은 승무원이 근로기준법상 재해보상, 산업재해보상보험법상 보험급여에 만족하지 않고, 사고에 관하여 책임이 있는 사용자나 제3자를 상대로 불법행위나 채무불이행을 원인으로 한 민사상 손해배상을 청구할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 출근 중 기존의 질병으로 인하여 사망한 사건에서는 근로복지공단에서 망인의 사망을 업무상 재해로 인정하지 아니하여 망인의 부모가 유족급여 및 장의비 부지급 처분을 취소하는 소송에서 1심(서울행정법원 2017.8.31. 선고 2016구합 81642 판결)에서는 업무상 재해로 인정되었지만, 항소심(서울고등법원 2018.7.19. 선고 2017누74186 판결)에서 패소하여 고인의 질병 및 업무량에 관한 분석을 통하여 항소심의 판결을 비판하였다. 승무원의 근무 형태는 타 직종과는 다르게 항공기에 탑승하여 이루어지는 것이므로 다른 근무지로 이동하거나 비행근무 종료 후 모기지 또는 체류지로 돌아오기 위하여 비행임무는 수행하지 않으나 비행근무시간의 50%만 인정받는 형태로 항공기에 탑승하는 경우도 발생한다. 여객과 동일하게 간주할 수는 없지만 비행임무를 하지 않는 승무원이 사고로 사상을 당한 경우 근로계약에 기인한 손해배상 청구를 할 것인지 국제항공운송에서 사고발생시 여객에게 적용되는 몬트리올협약이 배타적으로 적용될 지에 관한 논의와 함께 그와 관련된 판례인 In re Mexico City Aircrash of October 31, 1979, 708 F.2d 400 (9th Cir. 1983), Demanes v. United Airlines, 348 F.Supp. 13 (C.D.Cal. 1972), Sulewski v. Federal Express Corp., 749 F.Supp. 506 (S.D.N.Y. 1990)을 검토해 보고 유럽사법재판소(CJEU)에서 Wucher Helicopter GmbH and Euro-Aviation Versicherungs AG v. Fridolin Santer를 통하여 정의한 '여객'의 개념을 명확하게 이해해 보도록 한다.

  • 국제항공운송에 종사하는 승무원은 업무의 성격상 여러 나라에서 근로를 제공하게 된다. 국제사법에 의하면 일상적 노무제공지는 국제근로계약의 준거법 결정(제28조 제2항), 국제재판관할의 결정(제28조 제3항, 제4항)에서 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 일상적 노무제공지는 국제재판관할과 준거법의 결정을 위하여 EU에서 제창된 개념으로, 국제항공법에서 항공안전을 확보할 목적으로 승무원의 피로관리를 위해 도입된 개념인 모기지(母基地)와 입법목적이 서로 달라, 일상적 노무제공지와 모기지는 같은 개념이라고 볼 수 없다. 승무원의 일상적 노무제공지를 결정하기 위해서는 (i) 승무원이 근무를 시작하고 종료하는 곳, (ii) 승무원이 업무를 수행하는 항공기가 주로 주기(駐機)된 곳, (iii) 사용자가 전달한 지시사항을 알게 되고 근무활동을 조직하는 곳, (iv) 근로계약상 승무원이 거주할 의무가 있는 곳, (v) 사용자가 제공하고 승무원이 사용할 수 있는 사무실이 있는 곳, (vi) 승무원이 업무에 부적합하거나 징계사유가 발생할 때 참석할 의무가 있는 곳 등을 종합적으로 고려하여야 한다. 그런데 위에서 열거한 사항은 모두 모기지 소재지와 동일하므로, 승무원의 일상적 노무제공지를 결정할 때 모기지를 가장 중요한 요소로 고려하는 것이 타당하다. 이와 달리 기적국을 일상적 노무제공지로 보아서는 안 된다. 대상사안에서 CJEU는 국제항공운송에 종사하는 객실승무원의 일상적 노무제공지에 관하여 최초로 판단기준을 제시하였는바, 이는 우리나라 국제사법의 모범이 되었던 브뤼셀 규정의 해석이므로, 국제항공운송 승무원에 관하여 국제사법상 일상적 노무제공지의 개념을 이해하는데 많은 도움이 될 것으로 보인다.

  • Among all industries, the construction industry still remains a traditional one with low productivity due to its labor-intensive and field-dependent production system, its supplier-oriented industrial structure, and the disruption of the information flow between participants. In addition, the construction industry in South Korea has recently been required to transform itself according to social trends such as aging, the reduction of skilled workers, and the shortening of working hours, and the disaster and death rates in the industry, which are more than twice as high as those in other industries, are making it more necessary to solve chronic safety problems. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to grasp the actual condition of safety management on construction sites in South Korea and analyze cases of K-smart technology utilization for preventing safety accidents on construction sites. The study investigated and analyzed the following. First, construction sites in South Korea were analyzed by type of safety accident, by type of construction, and by construction contract amount. Second, the current status of accidents on small-sized construction sites with a high fatal accident rate and cases of safety accidents on construction sites were investigated. The results of the study are expected to contribute to the dissemination and spread of smart safety technology for not only identifying major factors in safety accidents that occur on construction sites but also preventing workers from suffering accidents.

  • The author believes that the main task of study in international trade usage and practice is the management of transactional risks involved in international sale of goods. They are foreign exchange risks, transportation risks, credit risk, risk of miscommunication, etc. In most cases, these risks are more serious and enormous than those involved in domestic sales. Historically, the merchant adventurers organized the voyage abroad, secured trade finance, and went around the ocean with their own or consigned cargo until around the $mid-19^{th}$ century. They did business faceto-face at the trade fair or the open port where they maintained the local offices, so-called "Trading House"(商館). Thererfore, the transactional risks might have been one-sided either with the seller or the buyer. The bottomry seemed a typical arrangement for risk sharing among the interested parties to the adventure. In this way, such organizational arrangements coped with or bore the transactional risks. With the advent of ocean liner services and wireless communication across the national border in the $19^{th}$ century, the business of merchant adventurers developed toward the clear division of labor; sales by mercantile agents, and ocean transportation by the steam ship companies. The international banking helped the process to be accelerated. Then, bills of lading backed up by the statute made it possible to conduct documentary sales with a foreign partner in different country. Thus, FOB terms including ocean freight and CIF terms emerged gradually as standard trade terms in which transactional risks were allocated through negotiation between the seller and the buyer located in different countries. Both of them did not have to go abroad with their cargo. Instead, documentation in compliance with the terms of the contract(plus an L/C in some cases) must by 'strictly' fulfilled. In other words, the set of contractual documents must be tendered in advance of the arrival of the goods at port of discharge. Trust or reliance is placed on such contractual paper documents. However, the container transport services introduced as international intermodal transport since the late 1960s frequently caused the earlier arrival of the goods at the destination before the presentation of the set of paper documents, which may take 5 to 10% of the amount of transaction. In addition, the size of the container vessel required the speedy transport documentation before sailing from the port of loading. In these circumstances, computerized processing of transport related documents became essential for inexpensive transaction cost and uninterrupted distribution of the goods. Such computerization does not stop at the phase of transportation but extends to cover the whole process of international trade, transforming the documentary sales into less-paper trade and further into paperless trade, i.e., EDI or E-Commerce. Now we face the other side of the coin, which is data security and paperless transfer of legal rights and obligations. Unfortunately, these issues are not effectively covered by a set of contracts only. Obviously, EDI or E-Commerce is based on the common business process and harmonized system of various data codes as well as the standard message formats. This essential feature of E-Commerce needs effective coordination of different divisions of business and tight control over credit arrangements in addition to the standard contract of sales. In a few word, information does not alway invite "trust". Credit flows from people, or close organizational tie-ups. It is our common understanding that, without well-orchestrated organizational arrangements made by leading companies, E-Commerce does not work well for paperless trade. With such arrangements well in place, participating E-business members do not need to seriously care for credit risk. Finally, it is also clear that E-International Commerce must be linked up with a set of government EDIs such as NACCS, Port EDI, JETRAS, etc, in Japan. Therefore, there is still a long way before us to go for E-Commerce in practice, not on the top of information manager's desk.
