  • 국제보건기구(WHO)는 게임중독을 질병으로 분류하는 제11차 국제 질병분류체계(ICD-11)를 2018년에 발표하였다. 죄악주 기업은 부정적인 중독성을 갖고 있으며, 사회적 비용에 따른 세금이 부과되는 기업으로 정의된다. 우리나라에서도 질병분류체계에 게임중독을 질병으로서 등재한다면, 국내 게임 기업은 게임중독이라는 질병과 게임중독세라는 사회적 비용을 유발하는 죄악주 기업으로 인식될 가능성이 높다. 이는 게임 산업이 죄악주 범위에 새롭게 포함되어, 산업적 확장 및 발전에 제동이 걸릴 수 있다는 가능성을 내포한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 죄악주 기업의 국민적 인식을 확인해보고자, 국내 게임 기업이 죄악주에 포함되는 것이 게임 기업의 취업선호도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 연구결과, 게임 기업의 죄악주화에 대해서는 반대하는 의견이 높게 나타났으며, 게임 기업이 죄악주로서 분류되는 것에 대한 원인으로서 높은 중독성과 사행성이 제시되었다. 또한, 게임 기업이 죄악주로 분류될 경우 기업 가치와 취업선호도는 낮아지는 것으로 관찰되었다. 본 연구는 최근 사회적 이슈로 떠오른 게임장애의 질병코드 규정에 따른 게임 기업의 죄악주화에 대한 가능성을 제시하였다는 데 의의가 있다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 게임 기업의 죄악주화가 게임 기업에 대한 취업선호도에 미치는 효과를 통계적으로 보고함으로서 학계와 시장참여자에게 공헌할 것이다.

  • The major objective of this research is to identify those hospital characteristics that best explain cost variation among hospitals and to formulate linear models that can predict hospital costs. Specific emphasis is placed on hospital output, that is, the identification of diagnosis related patient groups (DRGs) which are medically meaningful and demonstrate similar patterns of hospital resource consumption. A casemix index is developed based on the DRGs identified. Considering the common problems encountered in previous hospital cost research, the following study requirements are estab-lished for fulfilling the objectives of this research: 1. Selection of hospitals that exercise similar medical and fiscal practices. 2. Identification of an appropriate data collection mechanism in which demographic and medical characteristics of individual patients as well as accurate and comparable cost information can be derived. 3. Development of a patient classification system in which all the patients treated in hospitals are able to be split into mutually exclusive categories with consistent and stable patterns of resource consumption. 4. Development of a cost finding mechanism through which patient groups' costs can be made comparable across hospitals. A data set of Medicare patients prepared by the Social Security Administration was selected for the study analysis. The data set contained 27,229 record abstracts of Medicare patients discharged from all but one short-term general hospital in Connecticut during the period from January 1, 1971, to December 31, 1972. Each record abstract contained demographic and diagnostic information, as well as charges for specific medical services received. The 'AUT-OGRP System' was used to generate 198 DRGs in which the entire range of Medicare patients were split into mutually exclusive categories, each of which shows a consistent and stable pattern of resource consumption. The 'Departmental Method' was used to generate cost information for the groups of Medicare patients that would be comparable across hospitals. To fulfill the study objectives, an extensive analysis was conducted in the following areas: 1. Analysis of DRGs: in which the level of resource use of each DRG was determined, the length of stay or death rate of each DRG in relation to resource use was characterized, and underlying patterns of the relationships among DRG costs were explained. 2. Exploration of resource use profiles of hospitals; in which the magnitude of differences in the resource uses or death rates incurred in the treatment of Medicare patients among the study hospitals was explored. 3. Casemix analysis; in which four types of casemix-related indices were generated, and the significance of these indices in the explanation of hospital costs was examined. 4. Formulation of linear models to predict hospital costs of Medicare patients; in which nine independent variables (i. e., casemix index, hospital size, complexity of service, teaching activity, location, casemix-adjusted death. rate index, occupancy rate, and casemix-adjusted length of stay index) were used for determining factors in hospital costs. Results from the study analysis indicated that: 1. The system of 198 DRGs for Medicare patient classification was demonstrated not only as a strong tool for determining the pattern of hospital resource utilization of Medicare patients, but also for categorizing patients by their severity of illness. 2. The wei틴fed mean total case cost (TOTC) of the study hospitals for Medicare patients during the study years was $11,27.02 with a standard deviation of $117.20. The hospital with the highest average TOTC ($1538.15) was 2.08 times more expensive than the hospital with the lowest average TOTC ($743.45). The weighted mean per diem total cost (DTOC) of the study hospitals for Medicare patients during the sutdy years was $107.98 with a standard deviation of $15.18. The hospital with the highest average DTOC ($147.23) was 1.87 times more expensive than the hospital with the lowest average DTOC ($78.49). 3. The linear models for each of the six types of hospital costs were formulated using the casemix index and the eight other hospital variables as the determinants. These models explained variance to the extent of 68.7 percent of total case cost (TOTC), 63.5 percent of room and board cost (RMC), 66.2 percent of total ancillary service cost (TANC), 66.3 percent of per diem total cost (DTOC), 56.9 percent of per diem room and board cost (DRMC), and 65.5 percent of per diem ancillary service cost (DTANC). The casemix index alone explained approximately one half of interhospital cost variation: 59.1 percent for TOTC and 44.3 percent for DTOC. Thsee results demonstrate that the casemix index is the most importand determinant of interhospital cost variation Future research and policy implications in regard to the results of this study is envisioned in the following three areas: 1. Utilization of casemix related indices in the Medicare data systems. 2. Refinement of data for hospital cost evaluation. 3. Development of a system for reimbursement and cost control in hospitals.

  • 최근 국내에 진출한 다국적 기업들의 극명하게 대조되는 행태가 논란이 되고 있다. 본 연구는 해외 명품 패션브랜드 기업들이 높은 본국 배당 송금에 비하여 사회 기부활동 등 사회공헌도가 낮다는 언론 보도에 의하여 유명의류상호 기업들의 대리인 비용을 살펴보고자 하였다. 대리인 비용은 매출액 자산비율(AT), 영업비용 대비 매출액(OPEXP), EBITD 대비 총자산(EBITD)비율을 표본기업별로 구한 값과 2014년 지배구조등급으로 대상을 받은 S-OIL의 비율차이를 각각 구하여 3가지 차이비율의 공통된 속성을 변수를 산정하기 위하여 주성분분석(PCA)으로 공통변수를 추출하고 이 변수를 대리인 비용의 지수변수(ACI)로 선정하였다. 유명의류상호로 선정된 기업을 관심변수로 하고 대리인비용지수(ACI)를 종속변수로 하는 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 유명의류상호로 선정된 기업은 판매비와관리비 분야에서 대리인비용이 높게 나타나고 수익성 분야에서 대리인비용이 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 주성분분석에 의한 전체적인 대리인비용은 일반기업과 차이기 나지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 민감도 분석으로 표본집단과 동일한 재무적 특성을 가진 기업들을 PSM방법으로 1:1 matching 표본을 구성하여 비교분석한 결과 판관비 부문에서만 유명의류상호기업의 대리인비용이 높게 나타났다. 추가 분석으로 유명의류상호기업에 국한 하지 않고 211개 산업군에서 브랜드파워 1위로 선정된 기업을 대상으로 대리인비용을 차이를 확인한 결과 본 분석의 결과와 동일한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 국내에서 최초로 유명의류상호기업의 대리인비용을 분석하여 실증적 결과를 제시하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다고 할 것이다.

  • Considering above, It might be efficient that medical disputes would be settled by the intervention, the agreement, and the administrative relief that reflect mediators' opinion, who have rich social experience as well as specialized knowledge. Therefore, KCA needs to strengthen its function of mediation and improve relevant systems to become an effective settlement institution. And although Oriental medicine disputes have mainly given ex post facto explanations so far, administrative efforts such as policy development or legislation should be made for the high quality of Oriental medical services offered because an efficient way saving social or economic costs caused by the dispute would be precautionary measures. The traditional Oriental medicine is featured with the lack of baseline examination, the uncertainty of medical mistakes, the difficulty in clarifying and proving facts, the hardship of injury conformation and causality because of the characteristics of Oriental medicine, and the relative lightness of physical damages. Actually, there has been few legal settlements in Oriental medical disputes since the compensation, itself, compared to the lawsuit cost, is relatively much lower without practical benefits.

  • Resident training programs in South Korea lag far behind that of advanced countries. Given the problems the current system in South Korea has, it is time to consider a new resident training system, resident training for general competencies. Training for the general competencies was practiced in medical fields in advanced countries such as the USA, Canada, and the UK as early as 20 years ago. This system has rendered itself a key component of resident training. Although a few theoretical procedures on general competencies have been practiced in South Korea, the awareness of this concept is still very weak, and the application of the theory to actual training is a long way off from becoming effective. It is urgent for South Korea to adopt competency- and outcome-based training for general competencies. To this end, the knowledge of the concept of this type of training should be improved. Also, the system should be carefully designed to cover a doctor's whole career, and be applied immediately. The competency- and outcome-based training for general competencies is a system that assures high level qualifications. It reflects the needs of our society under the recognition that a professional organization should be committed and accountable in order to respond to social demands. As the benefits of the new training system reach the public and medical care consumers, training-related expenses should be borne by social costs.

  • About 4,500 mass burial sites of carcasses from the 2010/2011 outbreak of Foot-and-Mouth (FMD) disease in Korea show very slow stabilization speed, although more than 3 years have passed. Therefore, a plan is being considered to boost the speed of stabilization or removal. This is a study on the social value of the removal plan for 4,500 mass burial sites from the 2010/2011 outbreak of FMD in Korea. This valuation is based on the survey of 1,000 people living all over Korea. Korean people have a willingness to pay 101.2 billion Korean Won (about US $100 million). This value is a large amount, but it is small compared to the cost of a FMD outbreak. The cost for the Korean government from 5 outbreaks since 2000 ranged from 28.8 billion Won to 3.2 trillion Won. These were the costs only paid by the Korean government. One estimate reported that there would be a total damage of 1.4 trillion Won, if FMD outbreak occurs in Jeju Islands, a small part of Korea. If burial sites have very slow stabilization speed and some hazardous contents, the social damage will exceed the removal cost.

  • 최근 들어 경부고속철도 천성산 구간, 외곽순환도로 사패산터널 등 주요 국가건설사업이 주민 또는 환경단체의 반대로 지연되거나 표류하는 사례가 많이 발생하고 있다. 한국사회의 민주주의 발달, 주민의 참여의식 강화, 환경에 대한 관심 증대 등을 고려할 때 이러한 분쟁이 발생하는 것은 자연스러운 일일 수도 있으나 분쟁의 장기화에 따른 사회적 비용의 증대, 집단간의 갈등심화를 고려할 때 분쟁요인을 사전에 해결하고 국가건설사업을 원활하게 추진하려는 노력이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 우리보다 한발 앞서 이러한 갈등을 경험하고 이를 해소하기 위하여 주민참여 제도를 활발히 운영하고 있는 미국의 PI제도의 기법들을 살펴보고 이와 비교하여 현재 우리나라의 주민참여제도의 미비점 및 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore ways to define the concept of health inequality. Methods: The concept analysis process by Walker and Avant was used to clarify the meaning of health inequality. Results: Defining attributes of health inequality included differences in health status between individuals or groups, infringement of fundamental rights to health, unfair use of medical services, and social discrimination. The antecedents of health inequality included differences in demographic characteristics (age, gender, education, occupation, residential location), limitations in accessibility to health care, and social exclusion. Consequences of health inequality were increased costs for medical care, decreased health-related quality of life, and lack of ability to cope with health problems resulting in crisis situations, increases in morbidity and mortality, and shortening of life span. The concept was clarified through presentation of model, borderline, related, and contrary cases. Conclusion: Results of this study can be used to guide the direction of future studies through concept analysis in which conceptual attributes in the context of health inequality are examined. Also, based on the result of this study, development of standardized tools to measure health inequality is recommended as well as development of educational programs to reduce health inequalities.
