The study analyzes the optimum Korea-China FTA negotiations by utilizing the Putnam's two- level game theoretic approach. According to the Putnam's theory, the size of the win-set depends on the strategies of the Level 1 negotiators. The size of the win-set depends also on the level 2 political institutions and the distribution of power, preferences, and possible conditions among Level 2 constituents. The basic principles for the successful future Korea-China FTA negotiations should be based on comprehensiveness, substantial liberalization and gradual liberalization with consideration of sensitive sectors. This study concludes that mid-level FTA strategy with comprehensive but low tariff reduction would be of best strategy for Korea. This study also suggests the utilization of the EHP(Early Harvest Program) for the successful Korea-China FTA negotiations.

Recently, the social network game (SNG) industry is expanding at a fast pace by the increase in the charged item sales. The objective of the present study is to explore factors influencing user intention to purchase charged items. Based on the literature review, flow has been introduced as an influential factor of the intention to purchase and individual influence, social relationship, and social influence as factors of flow. Enjoyment and self-competence are assumed to be measurement constructs for individual influence, social interaction and self-presentation for social relationship, social norm and perceived critical mass for social influence. Empirical analysis show that enjoyment and self-presentation has significant influence on users' flow while self-competence and social interaction has not. Also social norms and perceived critical mass directly influence intention to purchase items. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed by this results.

With the rapid development of media environment and contents production technology, the era of multi-platform convergence transmedia has emerged, and communication method through trans media contents has attracted attention. Transmedia content refers to the concept of translating individual content into multi-platforms, which creates an expanded worldview of convergence. In addition, the interaction generated in this process is very important and difficult to control in the progress of the content. In this paper, we focused on the combination of transmedia content and gamification concept as a solution, and based on the 'MDA framework' which is a theoretical system of analysis and approach for implementing game design, We looked at the structure. It is expected that a review of the fundamental game design structure, which establishes a prediction system of value and fun experiences through the balance of technology and emotions, will be helpful as a basis for designing trans media contents.

This study investigates the strategic environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR) of polluting duopoly when two firms have different production costs and compete with prices. We then examine an endogenous timing game in choosing ECSR and its effects on environmental damage and social welfare. The followings are the main findings: First, sequential choice of ECSR is strategic complements and it provides late adopter advantage irrespective of cost difference. Second, sequential choice of ECSR is the equilibrium of endogenous timing game. In particular, an efficient firm-leading ECSR is the payoff dominance equilibrium when cost difference is significant. Finally, environmental damage and social welfare depend on the social cost of pollution. In particular, an efficient firm-leading ECSR is socially desirable when social cost is high. However, an inefficient firm-leading ECSR increases environmental damage irrespective of social cost and it reduces social welfare when cost difference is significant.

As the growth of the live streaming service market is accelerating due to COVID-19, the number of downloads and reviews of live streaming mobile applications is also rapidly skyrocketing. This study is to research game streaming applications using Twitch reviews as database. A total of 8 topics are extracted through LDA topic modeling and 7 out of them are detected to be inconvenience factors. Then, to pinpoint the main inconvenience factors, co-occurrence analysis is used in order to find out main factors. Finally, based on previous studies, several solutions are provided, which can solve the inconvenience factors(advertisement, UI design, technology problems) as well as strengthening digital competitiveness. This study will serve as an opportunity to improve digital competitiveness not only for Twitch but also for other game live streaming service companies in the future.

Recently, various contents set in the Josun Dynasty have emerged. However, there is a growing number of hanboks that do not preserve the basic original form of hanbok, such as hanboks that deviate significantly from the form of hanboks. Therefore, in this study, a system was created and implemented in the game to express various colors and patterns of hanbok using the DALL-E API in this game by examining the basic hanbok form of hanbok through literature review. However, despite the fact that the results are inconsistent depending on the quality of the Generative AI service and the limitations of not passing through the historical evidence of traditional hanbok experts, it is meaningful to present a system that uses the creativity of users to create a design that can enhance the aesthetics of traditional hanbok. In future research, we want to investigate users' preferences and develop a system that can create an image that fits them when clicking the interface.

This paper aims to explore the factors of learner's flow and to develop and validate a scale to measure the flow in Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game(MMORPG) for education. First of all, potential factors were drawn through literature review. The potential stage comprises 6 factors(learner's psychological characteristics, learner's skill, importance of game, environment for learner, instructional design, and instructional environment) and 16 subfactors. With total 48 items developed. a survey was carried out among 293 elementary learners who had been participating in a commercial MMORPG for English skills to measure their flow in the MMORPG by utilizing the potential scale. Using the responses collected from 288 respondents, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. The expository factor analysis showed that items within each sub-factors could be bound into one factor. That is, the variables evaluating learner's flow were divided into six factors(learner's psychological characteristics, learner's skill, importance of game, environment for learner, instructional design, and instructional environment). And these factors were interpreted consisting of 16 sub-ones. Reliability estimates indicated that the evaluation tool had good internal consistency. The confirmatory factor analysis did confirm the model suggested by the expository factor analysis. Over fit measures(CFI, NFI, NNFI) showed the good suitability of the model. Findings of this study confirmed the validity and reliability of the scale to measure learner's flow in MMORPG.

This paper investigated, using a flexible approach, the effects of the psychological type of the decision maker and the advanced format of information presentation on decision maker performance in a computer-simulated production game. The current sutdy was guided by a model derived from a general model developed by Chervany, Dickson, and Kozar(1972). The experimental model had two dependent variables; total profit and decision making time. Three independent variables representing the psychological type of the decision maker, the report format, and decision aids were used in this study.
