Objectives : This study attempts to show how studies using non-experimental data can strengthen causal inferences by applying propensity score and instrumental variable methods based on the counterfactual framework. For illustrative purposes, we examine the effect of having private health insurance on the probability of experiencing at least one hospital admission in the previous year. Methods : Using data from the 4th wave of the Korea Labor and Income Panel Study, we compared the results obtained using propensity score and instrumental variable methods with those from conventional logistic and linear regression models, respectively. Results : While conventional multiple regression analyses fail to identify the effect, the results estimated using propensity score and instrumental variable methods suggest that having private health insurance has positive and statistically significant effects on hospital admission. Conclusions : This study demonstrates that propensity score and instrumental variable methods provide potentially useful alternatives to conventional regression approaches in making causal inferences using non-experimental data.

Background and objective: A great deal of previous research has highlighted the value of educational and cultural facilities embedded in housing prices, by taking a large spatial area as the focus, such as the city or district level. However, few studies have investigated the extent to which educational and cultural facilities influence the formation of housing prices from an accessibility perspective. This study aims to identify the value of educational and cultural facilities embedded in the housing prices in Seoul Metropolitan City with a focus on the concept of the residents' neighbourhood and accessibility. Methods: To this end, this research used a spatial regression model with educational and cultural facilities as the independent variables and housing prices as the dependent variable. The model assessed the accessibility of cultural and educational facilities by considering geographic effects. Results: The findings are as follows. First, the spatial error model was found to be the best fit for multi-unit housing, while the spatial lag model was more appropriate for single-unit housing and apartments. Second, private educational facilities and art museums had positive effects on single- and multi-unit housing prices, while historical sites had a negative effect. Finally, private educational facilities positively influenced apartment prices, whereas public libraries and urban park areas had a negative effect. Conclusion: These findings indicate that the accessibility of educational and cultural facilities reflects residents' preferences and needs, which will ultimately influence housing prices.

PPP (Public-Private-Partnership)는 국내외 건설산업 분야에서 널리 사용되는 프로젝트이다. 일반적으로 PPP 프로젝트 팀은 건설 엔지니어, 금융기관, 계약 관리자, 투자자 등 다양한 분야의 전문가들로 구성된다. 이러한 팀 구성원의 다양성으로 인해 팀의 효율적 관리 뿐 아니라 프로젝트 자체의 원활한 수행도 어려운 상황이다. 이러한 문제의 해결책은 팀원의 시민행동 형성이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 프로젝트 시민 행동의 프로젝트 성과에 대한 실증적 조사를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 국내 건설 PPP 프로젝트 경험자를 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 데이터를 수집했다. 연구결과, 우리는 프로젝트 시민 행동이 PM의 리더십과 프로젝트 성과간에 완전 매개 효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 국내 건설 프로젝트 관리 분야에서 시민 행동 개념의 적용과 그 효과를 확인한 첫 번째 시도라는 점에서 학문적 중요성을 가지고 있으며, PPP 프로젝트 팀의 성공적인 업무 수행에 일조할 것으로 기대한다.

Purpose - This study empirically investigates the effects of Official Development Assistance (ODA) on the economic activities of private actors in recipient countries. As a proxy for the economic activities of private actors, we utilize the job creation activities of foreign subsidiaries in recipient countries. The foreign subsidiaries provide a foundation for economic development by creating paying jobs. That is, if ODA has been successfully transferred to foreign subsidiaries, then these foreign subsidiaries should help economic growth and help create a boom in the local market by providing jobs. These jobs eventually lead to the achievement of the primary aims of foreign aid, including poverty reduction. Thus, this study empirically examines the relationship between ODA and the number of jobs created by foreign subsidiaries in recipient countries. Design/methodology - This is the first study to examine the effects of the ODA on the job creation of foreign subsidiaries because it has been hard to obtain internal information related to the employment status of foreign subsidiaries. Fortunately, we have a unique panel dataset provided by the Export-Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM) for 2006 to 2013. In terms of the empirical specification, we use the generalized least squares (GLS) method. The panel GLS estimator allows us to have an efficient estimation that overcomes the limitations of the panel data. It employs assumptions about the heteroscedasticity between the panels and makes an autocorrelation of the error term within each panel. Findings - We find that ODA influences job creation in foreign subsidiaries. In particular, we found that ODA creates more jobs in sales than in managerial or production positions. This study also shows that the effect of the ODA on the foreign subsidiaries' job creation activities depend on the purpose of the ODA. By examining ODA effects on the foreign subsidiaries' economic activities (e.g., job creation), this study fills a gap in the current literature. Originality/value - Existing studies that focus on the ODA effect have either a macroeconomic point or a microeconomic point of view. However, both approaches do not explain how well foreign aid has influenced private economic actors of recipient countries. In essence, previous researchers found it difficult to obtain the necessary data for internal employment status from foreign subsidiaries. However, thanks to the Korea Export-Import Bank, this study shows that ODA indeed influences the job creation activities of foreign subsidiaries even after controlling for other factors such as FDI, GDP growth rate, employment rate, household expenditure, mother firms' share, etc. By doing so, we can examine how ODA influences the job creation of foreign subsidiaries, which might help economic development and reduce the amount of poverty in recipient countries.

In a globalization and information society in the 21st century, the emphasis of education is on producing people who can create intellectual value. To meet the purpose in mathematics education, students should be taught to be able to understand basic logics and principles and exchange mathematical information each other. Also they had better be guided to study on their own at home in an effective way. In reality, however, most of the home study does not go beyond confirming the same homework. It is very difficult for students to plan systematic preparation and review of their lessons and study on their own. Moreover there seems to be no integration between the lessons students receive at school and in private classes. Therefore the need for more systematic home study in relation to school lessons is high to maximize the teaming effect. Studying through Web has little restriction in terms of time and space. Students can collect useful information inexpensively and share their learning assignment with each other. But mathematics education through Web has not yet been developed in such a way as to see a positive result from it. This research intends to develop a web site where students can study mathematics systematically in a self-guided way. The research methods applied included survey, student discussion and online home study. The questionnaires were designed to figure out students'and parents'changes in their concept of mathematics home study. The research also tried to look for ways to cut down the burden of expensive private lessons in mathematics. The student discussions were made up of problem-making and problem-solving. The discussion procedure was analysed so as to check if students used their creativity while they were working. As stated above, the research aims to develop a web site to support effective home study, enhance students' mathematical ability and reduce the burden of private lessons.

The proliferation of items increased the difficulty of customers in finding the specific items they want to purchase. To solve this problem, companies adopted recommender systems, such as collaborative filtering systems, to provide personalization services. However, companies use only meaningful and essential data given the explosive growth of data. Some customers are concerned that their private information may be exposed because CF systems necessarily deal with personal information. Based on these concerns, we analyze the effects of the amount of information on recommendation performance. We assume that a customer could choose to provide overall information or partial information. Experimental results indicate that customers who provided overall information generally demonstrated high performance, but differences exist according to the characteristics of products. Our study can provide companies with insights concerning the efficient utilization of data.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of credit risk on commercial banks' profitability in Afghanistan. Due to the availability of limited data, this study applies the Fixed Effects estimator on balance panel data of six domestic private commercial banks over the period 2014-2018. The study uses LLRTL, TLTA, and TLTD as credit risk indictors, size as bank-specific determinant, ROAA, ROAE, and NIM as profitability indicators. The study finds a robust negative and significant effect of LLRTL on ROAA, and ROAE, but positive and insignificant on NIM. The results also reveal significant positive effect of TLTA on NIM, however insignificant negative on ROAA while insignificant positive on ROAE. The study finds negative effect of TLTD on ROAA, ROAE, and NIM, but only significant on NIM. Further, this study reveals a robust negative and significant effect of size on all profitability indicators. The mean comparison of profitability demonstrates that NIM is in a better situation than others profitability indicators, which is a good sign for the Afghan banking sector. The findings of this study suggest that improving credit management, increasing efficiency of asset management or effectiveness of business model can increase commercial banks' profitability in Afghanistan.

우리나라는 IMF이후 급격한 경기침체로 각 기업을 비롯한 산업체의 구조조정 등 조직내 불신과 갈등이 확산되어 가고 있다. 어느 조직이든 지속적으로 생존${\cdot}$발전하기 위해서는 경영환경 변화에 유연하게 대처해야 할 것이다. 이를 위해서는 조직구성원들의 심리적 일체감과 조직에 대한 애착을 도모하고 열정을 높여주는 관리자의 리더십이 무엇보다 중요시된다. 이처럼 리더십의 중요성에도 불구하고 민간경비학 연구영역에서는 관리자의 리더십과 조직의 성과로 직결되는 직무만족 및 조직몰입에 관한 연구가 매우 미비한 실정이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 민간경비 관리자의 리더십유형이 직무만족 및 조직몰입에 미치는 영향을 규명함으로써 이 분야에서의 경험적${\cdot}$이론적 자료를 축적하고, 나아가 민간경호경비 분야 발전에 필요한 경영자료를 제시하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 민간경비 관리자의 리더십 유형이 경비원의 직무만족 및 조직몰입에 미치는 영향을 보면 다음과 같다. 첫 번째로, 연령이 높고 월수입이 많을수록 변혁적 리더십을 보이는 관리자를 더 높게 평가하고 신뢰하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 연령이 낮고 전문대학 졸업의 경비원일수록 자신에게 돌아오는 손익관계에 의한 계산적 몰입이 더 높게 나타나는 것으로 나타났다. 두 번째로, 관리자가 창의적인 관점을 개발하도록 자극을 주는 리더십을 보일수록 경비원의 직무 만족이 감소하고 있으며, 조건적인 보상을 요구하는 리더십을 보일수록 직무만족이 높아지는 경향을 나타내고 있다. 세 번째로, 관리자가 카리스마적 리더십을 발휘할수록 경비원들이 조직에 대하여 감정적으로 애착을 갖고 조직과의 일체감을 갖는 경향을 나타내고 있다.
