본 연구는 미 특허청(USPTO) 자료를 이용하여 기술활동이 가장 활발한 OECD국가를 중심으로 세부기술 부문별 기술활동의 유형을 분석하고자 하는 데에 목적을 두고 있다. 특히 OECD 국가들이 정보통신(IT) 기술에 있어 특정 기술분야로의 수렴화 경향을 보이는가 혹은 다양한 기술적인 분화현상을 보이는 가를 분석하는 것이 본 연구의 주요 관심사이다. 기존 연구들이 정보통신기술을 협의로 정의, 분석의 대상으로 삼아 왔으나, 본 고에서는 정보통신 분야를 보다 확대된 개념으로서 정의하고, 미국 특허청 자료(1985-1996)를 이용하여 정보통신 분야의 기술개발 활동의 특화현상을 분석하였다. 연구결과로서 정보통신(IT) 기술 분야에서는 기술적 수렴현상이 점차적으로 나타나고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 국가별 결과에 있어서는 서로 다른 유형이 관측되었는데 정보통신 산업에 있어서 유럽의 주요 국가들은 특허통계량이 감소하는 추세를 나타냈으며 기술추격(catch-up) 과정은 나타나지 않았음을 보여 주었다. 이와 반대로, 일본은 유럽의 주요 국가에 비하여 매우 특징적인 기술개발 유형을 나타내었다. 예를 들어, RTA지수는 일본이 정보처리기술, 컴퓨터시스템 및 단말기술, 집적회로 분야에 특화되어 있음을 나타냈다. 또한 캐나다와 한국도 특징적인 기술개발 경향을 나타내었는 바, 캐나다는 방송시스템 및 전송기술에서 기술적 강점을 지닌 것으로 분석되었으며 한국의 기술추격 분야는 방송시스템, 정보처리 및 반도체기술 분야인 것으로 나타났다.

It can be said that indicator of national competitiveness in 21C knowledge-based society is a ability to create various values of knowledge. Investment of R&D in Korea is located at very high position in the world, and RAND Corporation classified Korea as a industrialized country in science & technology fields because of having potentiality to future technology with major industrialized countries. But globalization status of science and technology is badly lower position among OECD nations. To disseminate Korea's scientific and technical information in the world, this paper's purpose is to examine efforts of non-english speaking countries. And it introduces KoreaScience, gateway to scientific and technical information in korea.

This study aims to clarify the relationship between family policy and children's quality of life through an international comparison and to determine which family policy factors contribute to children's quality of life. The research question is "How can family policies be combined to improve children's quality of life in terms of health and economy?" It includes nine categories of family policies related to money, service, and leave. Measures of children's quality of life include low birth weight, infant mortality, and child poverty. Using the OECD Family Database, and the OECD Child Well-being Data, fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparison Analysis (fsQCA) was used among 20 OECD countries. Combinations of family policies significant to the children's quality of life were derived from the results. This study contributes to the literature by revealing the effectiveness of states' investment in family policy. In addition, the study indicates that since family policies interact with each other, those policies combine to improve children's quality of life.

Our study aims to investigate the determinants of international competitiveness and international specialization in services, using OECD service trade data. Real exchange rates, world demand, economies of scale, diffusion of IT, human capital, R&D expenditure and institutional variables are introduced as explanatory variables in regressions for 29 OECO countries over $1996{\sim}2003$. Some of major findings from the study can be summarized as follows. First, economies of scale play important role in transport and business services. Second, the index of freedom to trade measured by Faster Institute has a positive and significant impact on international competitiveness in telecommunication, finance and insurance and business services. Third, IT provides favorable condition to build international competitiveness in finance and insurance and business services. Fourth, R&D expenditure contributes to the amelioration of international competitiveness in transport services, while investment in new equipments contributes to increasing the competitiveness in telecommunication services. Thus, our results show the importance of the industrial base for developing a competitive service economy.

This paper examines the impact of a dual labor market structure on labor productivity using unbalanced panel data from 29 OECD member countries between 1990 and 2015. By applying a variety of regression models on the panel data (e.g., a pooled regression, a fixed effects model and a GMM), we explore how changes in worker-type composition among temporary, permanent and self-employed workers contribute to productivity growth. While it appears that our results differ slightly, depending on the econometric models, overall an increase in the share of permanent workers leads to a relatively higher increase in productivity growth. On the other hand, it is also seen that the effects of the share of temporary workers on labor productivity are considerably lower than that of permanent and self-employed workers. To sum it up, our findings indicate that an increase in temporary workers could have an adverse effect on labor productivity.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze factors in country risk between Cambodia and Vietnam. OECD and the Export-Import Ban of Korea assess country risk of Cambodia more highly than Vietnam. As results of the parametric tests for evaluation factors on the basis of country risk classification, the economic growth rate, the foreign trade index, and the foreign exchange reserves among the economic risks with the corruption index as the political and social risk have statistically significant effect on the difference between country risks of two countries. However, discriminant factor analysis indicates that the economic growth rate, the foreign exchange reserves, and the corruption index are key variables, which represent the difference between country risks of Cambodia and Vietnam. Consequently, the government of Cambodia needs to try to root out the corruption and to expand trade through increasing export for lowering the country risk to the level of Vietnam. Vietnam would also need to focus on attaining the sustainable high economic growth rate and increasing the foreign exchange reserves.

The issues on education as a human capital formation in recent years have been focused for all of the countries with emerging of the knowledge-based economy. The present study compared and analyzed the relationships between the educational investment and national economic growth of ten non-English-speaking OECD countries during 1970-2008, using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Seemingly Unrelated Regression Estimation (SURE) as the main analytical methods. Findings indicate that educational investment, R&D investment, and fertility rate were statistically significant in the estimation of the variables related to the human capital formation, and these elements had also positive influence on the national economic growth. The most salient factor was the fertility rate, and the R&D investment and educational investment appeared as the next factors in the national economic growth. In particular, the dimensions in the coefficient of the fertility rate showed 1.8 times of the R&D and 3.5 times of the educational investment, respectively. These results imply that educational investment, R&D investment, and the policies which promote fertility rate should be taken into account for the continuous economic growth of each country.
