This paper considers how the optimal export level is influenced by export risk, the degree of risk-averseness for exporting firms, and those firms' cost structure. In addition, export insurance is incorporated into some simple theoretical model to analyze the optimal export level. This paper applies genetic algorithm simulation to show that the exporting firms'risk-averseness do not affect the optimal export decision while export risk and cost function characteristic have relatively more significant effects on the optimal export level. Finally, our findings suggest that the most influential factor for the optimal export levels seems to be the monopoly power of exporting firms.

수출은 국가 경제 성장에 빠질 수 없는 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나로 자리하고 있어 앞으로 수출을 장려하기 위한 정책의 중요성은 더욱 강조될 것으로 보인다. 기업들이 수출에 어느 정도 기여하고 있으며 어느 경로를 통해 이루어지고 있는지를 파악하는 일은 매우 중요하다. 이를 통해 수출장려 정책을 수립하고 실증적인 근거를 마련할 수 있다. 중소기업이 수출에 미치는 기여도나 경로를 정확하게 파악을 해야 중소기업을 대상으로 수출 장려 정책을 전개할 수 있지만 그렇지 못하면 한계에 부딪칠 수밖에 없을 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 중소기업이 수출에 기여하는 정도를 측정하고 중소기업의 수출 경로를 파악하여 향후 개선 방안을 찾는데 있다. 또한 중소기업의 수출을 활성화하기 위해 적절한 정책방안을 제시하고자 한다.

This paper aims to determining the optimal capacity of Pusan port in view point of Container Physical Distribution cost. It has been established a coast model of the container physical distribution system in Pusan port is composed of 4 sub-systems and in-land transport system. Cargo handling system, transfer & storage system and in-land transport system, and analyzed the cost model of the system. From this analysis, we found that the system had 7 routes including in-land transport by rail or road and coastal transport by feeder ship between Pusan port and cargo owner's door. Though railway transport cost was relatively cheap, but, it was limited to choose railway transport routes due to the introducing of transport cargo allocation practice caused by shortage of railway transport capacity. The physical distribution ost for total import & export container through Pusan port was composed of 4.47% in port entring cost, 12.98% in cargo handling cost, 7.44% in transfer & storage cost and 75.11% in in-land transport cost. Investigation in case of BCTOC verified the results as follows. 1) The optimal level of one time cargo handling was verified 236VAN (377TEU) and annual optimal handling capacity was calculated in 516, 840VAN(826, 944TEU) where berth occupancy is $\rho$=0.6 when regardless of port congestion cost, 2) The optimal level of one time cargo handling was verified 252VAN (403TEU) and annual optimal handling capacity was calculated in 502, 110VAN (803, 376TEU) where berth occupancy is $\rho$=0.58 when considering of port congestion cost.

This paper analyzes how levels of logistics standardization are related to logistics costs. The study surveyed ratios of standard pallet use in order to measure levels of firms' standardization in logistics management. Research focused on how firms' logistics costs were related to their levels of logistics standardization and ratios of standard pallet use. After measuring use of standard pallets and logistics costs, optimal levels of logistics standardization were estimated based on survey data. Logistics costs and standardization were more related to labor than to freight volume or export. Results indicated that firms could reduce logistics costs by raising levels of logistics standardization; optimal levels of standard pallet use out of Korean firms' total manufacturing cargo volume were estimated at 44.26% for multi-standard pallets and 57.99% for a single standard pallet (a unit load system). The study demonstrated that adopting a single standard pallet results in better cost saving logistics systems than use of multi-standard pallet types. These results may explain why firms pursue standardization in logistics systems.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the welfare effects of standards harmonization between technologically asymmetric countries, and to determine optimal harmonization strategies for a country with mid-level technological advancement. Design/methodology - Following Salop's circular city model (Salop, 1979), this study constructs a simple, horizontally-differentiated oligopoly model in which three firms and three countries exist. Each country adopts different compatibility standards and each firm incurs conversion costs for foreign market access due to differences in standards. The conversion costs are related to technology; standards harmonization removes these costs between participating countries. The paper considers three cases: i) no harmonization; ii) harmonization with the more technologically-advanced country and iii) harmonization with the less technologically-advanced country. Findings - The paper first considers a scenario in which all three firms occupy some share of the market in each country. It shows that standards harmonization with both the technologically moreor less-advanced country always increases consumer surplus and social welfare. In addition, the producer surplus will increase if the harmonization partner has a higher technology level, whereas it may decrease if the partner has a lower technology level. It also shows that if most domestic export goods are in sectors with conversion costs above a certain level, harmonizing standards with a technologically more-advanced country should be prioritized. Such strategies, moreover, should be emphasized when there exists a large technology gap among countries. Lastly, the paper considers another scenario, in which harmonization leads to the foreclosure of the non-member firm from the member countries' markets. It shows that harmonization improves the social welfare of a mid-level technology country regardless of its partner's technology. It also shows that the country should prioritize harmonization with the technologically less-advanced country. Originality/value - Though some of the existing studies consider the welfare effects of harmonization, their main assumption is that firms have the same conversion technology. Since complying with standards often requires substantial technological advancement and technical expertise, harmonization of compatibility standards between countries with gaps in technological ability carries different implications. This paper investigates the welfare effects of this harmonization and determines an optimal harmonization strategy while considering technological asymmetry among countries in standards compliance.

The rapidly growing global population increases the awareness of water, energy, and food security worldwide. The concept of Water, Energy, and Food nexus (hereafter, WEF nexus) has been widely introduced as a new resources management concept that integrate the water, energy, and food in a single management framework. Recently, WEF nexus analyzes not only the interconnections among the resources, but also considers the external factors (such as environment, climate change, policy, finance, etc) to enhance the resources sustainability by proper understanding of their relations. A nation-level resources management is quite complex task since multiple regions (e.g., watersheds, cities, and counties) with different characteristics are spatially interconnected and transfer the resources each other. This study proposes a multiple region WEF nexus simulation and transfer model. The model is equipped with three simulation modules, such as local nexus simulation module, regional resources transfer module, and optimal investment planning module. The model intends to determine an optimal capital investment plan (CIP), such as build-up of power plants, water/waste water treatment plants, farmland development and to determine W-E-F import/export decisions among areas. The objective is to maximize overall resources sustainability while minimize financial cost. For demonstration, the proposed model is applied to a semi-hypothetical study area with three different characterized cities. It is expected the model can be used as a decision support tool for a long-term resources management planning process.

본 연구는 수출용 딸기에 대한 실용적 $CO_2$ 처리방안을 도입하여 수출단계에서 과실 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 실시하였다. $CO_2$ 처리에 따른 경도 증진 효과는 과숙한 과실에서 더욱 컸으나 과실의 실제적인 경도는 미숙한 과실에서 높아 미숙과에 대한 처리 효과가 실용적인 가치가 있었다. 처리조건은 수확한 과실을 예냉실에 넣어 냉각시키고 15% 이상의 $CO_2$에 4시간 이상 노출시키는 것이 바람직 하였으며 $CO_2$ 처리의 잔류효과는 모의 선적 및 소매과정까지 유지되었다. 그러나 과숙한 과실에서는 소매과정을 부여할 때 과피면이 검붉게 변하여 상품가치를 상실하였다. 본 연구 결과에서 농가 소유의 소형 저온실을 활용하여 간편하게 $CO_2$를 처리할 수 있으므로 수출은 물론 국내 유통에서 품질 증진을 위한 수확 후 처리기술로 활용 가능성이 있었다.

Today, about 99% of total import and export cargo in Korea is being transported through the port. The general trends of cargo handling show increases in capacity and speed, In order to cope with these trends, it is not only required to raise the efficiencies of port operation and function but also necessary to decide the optimal amount of the skilled labor force for cargo handling in the port. Cargo handling in the port is basically relied on the cargo handling facilities. Therefore, it is very important to reserve the amount of labor force for cargo handling system has been developed up to a certain level but the personnel management system which is the superior structure has not been followed well. In this study, therefore, we show a method to determine the required amount of labor force for cargo handling considering the amount of cargo and type of cargo handling work per each cargo, and the optimal amount labor force in cope with the fluctuation of the basic cargo handling labor force with respect to the time of in and out cargo flow in the viewpoint of minimizing the expences due to reservation of extra labor force than needed and firing employment of labor force using the Dynamic Programming. The derived algorithm is introduced into the computer simulation for Pusan port with the analyzed real data such as amount of cargo handling in the port with respect to working hour, cargo capacity, working step, the ratio of cargo handling facility and actual number of workers and we estimated the required labor force. As a result of analysis the labor force of Pusan port showed the over-employment such as maximum 21.4%, minimum 8.2% when we assumed that the averages of actual working hours and days were 8 hours in a day and 20 day in a month.

본 논문에서는 Liu(2009)의 슬랙변수모형과 윌콕슨 부호순위 검정방법을 도입하고 새롭게 수퍼효율성모형을 도입한 Tone(2002)의 수퍼SBM모형에 대해서 이론적으로 설명하였다. 또한 1997년부터 2007년까지 국내 20개 항만의 5개의 산출물(항만서비스만족도, 수출입물량, 선박입출항척수, 항만재정수입, 컨테이너화물처리량)과 3개의 투입물(항만투자금액, 접안능력, 하역능력)을 이용하여 국내항만들의 효율성을 측정한 후에, 효율성 순위를 이용하여 윌콕슨의 부호순위검정을 통해서 수퍼SBM모형이 갖고 있는 항만효율성측면의 예측력을 측정하는 방법을 보여 주었다. 또한 개별항만별, 연도별로 적정한 항만투자의 금액을 예측하여 보여 주었다. 실증분석의 주요한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, Wilcoxon의 부호순위 검정통계량에 의거하여 효율성 예측에 대한 가설검정을 해 보면, 제1모형에서는 p값이 평균 97.68% 수준에서 성과예측력을 가지는 것으로 나타났으며, 제2모형에서는 약 76.1%로 나타났다. 둘째, 수퍼SBM모형에 의한 항만별 항만투자의 적정투자규모를 정확하게 제시하였다. 셋, 제2모형에 대한 수퍼SBM모형에 의한 항만별 항만투자의 적정투자규모예측 결과는 다음과 같다. (ㄱ) 항만투자규모가 적정했던 항만들은 인천, 완도, 여수, 서귀포, 부산, 울산, 속초로 나타났다. (ㄴ) 거의 모든 항만들에서 투자금액이 과다한 것으로 나타났으며, 과소한 항만들은 삼천포, 마산, 울산, 삼척, 동해항으로 나타났다. (ㄷ) 차기년도의 항만의 적정투자규모를 예측하여 제시할 수는 있었다. 본 연구의 정책적인 함의는 국내항만관리자들은 항만의 환경이 변하고 있으므로 본 연구에서 제시하고 있는 수퍼SBM모형을 이용하여 항만들의 항만투자의 효율성 측정이나, 경영성과를 예측하는데 도입을 해야만 한다.
