  • This study was intended to identify the main factors responsible for the decline in purchase of imported agricultural and fish products after Japan's nuclear power plant accident in 2011 and to compare the effects on imported agricultural produce and imported fish products. Logit model and multiple regression model analyses were performed using consumers' survey data. Psychological and qualitative factors reflecting consumers' food safety awareness and purchasing preferences, which were extracted by Factor analysis, were included as the models' explanatory variables, along with socio-demographic and economic factors. The Logit estimation showed aged, married, and low-income households had significantly higher probability of reducing their purchases of imported agricultural and fish products. However, the multiple regression results pointed out that the actual rate of decrease of imported agricultural and fish products purchases were more significantly affected by non-socio demographic factors such as past experience of purchasing imported agricultural and fish products, future intention to purchasing Japanese agricultural and fish products, and the ratio of imported to domestic agricultural and fish products before the nuclear accident, as well as consumers' feeling of food insecurity and their purchasing preferences. Moreover, the results showed that Korean consumers have reacted more sensitively to the decline in imported fish products than imported agricultural produce after the nuclear accident based on the marginal effects of various socio-demographic and economic factors.

  • 본 연구에서는 2005년에서 2010년까지의 통계청 남성암 유형별 연령표준화 시군구 사망률 데이터에 대해 자기조직화지도와 GIS를 이용한 탐구적 자료 분석을 수행하여 이들 데이터에 의미 있는 패턴이 내재되어 있는지 분석하였다. 그리고 지역의 사회경제적 수준을 대표하는 변수로 선정된 지역별 가구주의 교육수준과 분석된 패턴이 어떤 관련이 있는지 검토하였다. 분석결과 우리나라 시군구는 남성암 사망원인 측면에서 독특한 특성을 가진 18개의 지역 군집으로 구분될 수 있으며, 이들 군집 내 속한 시군구가 공간적으로도 군집되는 경향이 있음을 보여주었다. 또한 가구주의 교육수준이 높은 군집이 낮은 군집에 비해 남성암 사망률이 낮은 경향을 보이지만 일부 암의 경우 교육수준이 높은 군집에서 사망률이 높음을 보여주었다. 이 결과는 지역의 사회경제적 요인, 자연환경적 요인 등 암의 발생 및 관리에 영향을 미치는 지역적 요인에 양의 공간적 자기상관이 존재하며, 이러한 공간적 자기상관이 다양한 유형의 암 원인 사망에 영향을 미친 결과로 해석되어질 수 있다. 또한 18개의 군집 중 서울의 강남구 및 서초구를 포함한 군집은 대부분 유형의 암 원인 사망률에서 전체 18개 군집 중 하위 수준임을 보여 우리나라 암의 예방, 발생, 관리와 관련된 중요원인이 사회경제적 요인일 수 있음을 암시하였다.

  • 본 연구는 13개 선진국과 15개 개발도상국을 대상으로 국가별 거시적 사회·경제 요인들이 해외직접투자의 유입에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 국가 경제성장의 질적 수준 및 발전단계에 따른 차이를 살펴보았다. 해외직접투자는 국제 생산의 효율성을 최적화 시킬 수 있는 곳으로 이동하는 국제장기자본이라고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 해외직접투자의 유입에는 기업의 내부 결정 요소 외 외부 요건인 국가별 투자 환경도 영향을 줄 것이다. 지난 30년간 국가별 거시적 사회·경제변수를 활용하여 고정효과 패널 회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 선진국과 개발도상국에 유입되는 투자의 동기와 유형이 다르게 나타났다. 선진국의 경우 국내총생산, 소비지출과 재정지출이 가장 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타나 시장추구형 수평적 투자의 특성을 보였다. 반면, 개발도상국으로는 노동보상과 인적자본이 가장 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타나 효율성추구형 수직적 투자의 특성을 보였다.

  • 본 연구는 1990년 이후 인구 및 사회경제적으로 고도화된 경제발전의 특징을 보이는 수도권의 주택점유 특성변화를 분석하기 위해서 슈바베의 가설을 검정하였다. 슈바베의 가설은 한 나라의 경제발전에 따라 주택수요를 결정하는 요인이 사회경제적 요인 보다는 인구학적 요인으로 옮겨갈 것이라는 것이다. 슈바베의 가설을 검정하기 위해 본 연구에서는 1980년부터 2005년까지 통계청에서 제공하는 인구주택총조사 자료를 이용하여 약 25년동안 노정된 수도권 자가소유에 대한 수요 변화의 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 Binary probit모형과 Blinder-Oaxaca 해체기법을 응용하였으며, 연구결과는 두 가지 연구가설이 성립하는 것으로 나타났다. 자가소유로 측정한 주택수요변화의 경우 사회경제적 요인보다는 인구학적 변화의 영향력이 1980년대 이후 지속적으로 증대되어 온 것으로 드러났다. 요약하면, 수도권 주택시장의 경우 주택점유에 있어서 가구의 경제적 능력보다는 인구학적 특성변화에 따른 주택소비 구입의사의 중요성이 점차 증대되고 있는 것으로 나타나 슈바베의 가설이 유효함을 보여주고 있다.

  • Demographic transition drives changes in consumer demand for food products. This study examines how rising incomes and population trends affect spending on food purchased for home. The objective of this study is to characterize the relationships between selected socio-demographic factors and food selection among South Korean households. Panel data from Rural Development Administration (RDA) in South Korea in 2010 was used (n=971). Household food purchases were classified into one of the five food groups from Composition of Foods of RDA. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of household size and income based on the expenditure share on each food group. All statistical analyses were performed using SAS/ PC version 9.3. Results show that household socio- demographic characteristics have a strong influence on food purchasing, with the purchase of vegetables and fruit, and processed food and pre-packaged being particularly sensitive.

  • There is growing evidence that substance use such as tobacco or alcohol consumption influences health disparity among adolescents. Previous research papers have shown an inconsistency in the relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and substance use in adolescents. However, little is known about socio-economic differences in unhealthy behaviors among Korean adolescents. The purpose of the present study is to explore associations between SES and substance use in Korean adolescents. The analysis was performed using data from the 2009 Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (YRBS), which included a nationally representative sample of middle and high school students. Drinking/heavy drinking and smoking/daily smoking behavior indices were used for dependent variables, and perceived economic status, family affluence score, parents' education were used for independent variables. Chi-square test were used to compare tobacco and alcohol consumption among 3 SES groups. Logistic regression models were used to identify statistically significant socio-economic factors after adjusting other covariates. Higher perceived economic status and higher family affluence were associated with higher rates of smoking, daily smoking, drinking, and heavy drinking, while lower level of parents' education was related to higher use of tobacco and alcohol. Socio-economic status significantly influences health behaviors in adolescents, and it may consequently affect health disparity in their adulthood. Therefore, there is a need of continuous monitoring and follow-up research of health disparity among adolescents.

  • When an earthquake occurs, the severity of damage is determined by natural factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake, the epicenter distance, soil properties, and type of the structures in the affected area, as well as the socio-economic factors such as the population, disaster prevention measures, and economic power of the community. This study evaluated the direct economic loss due to building damage and the community's recovery ability. Building damage was estimated using fragility functions due to the design earthquake by the seismic design code. The usage of the building was determined from the information in the building registrar. Direct economic loss was evaluated using the standard unit price and estimated building damage. The standard unit price was obtained from the Korean Real Estate Board. The community's recovery capacity was calculated using nine indicators selected from regional statistical data. After appropriate normalization and factor analysis, the recovery ability score was calculated through relative evaluation with neighboring cities.

  • The main purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between financial inclusion and socio-economic and demographic factors. Ownership of bank accounts, availing of credit facility, and use of mobile banking were considered the major indicators of financial inclusion. To achieved this objective, the present study was conducted in the rural regions of three hill districts of Uttarakhand. 780 rural households were selected by using stratified and judgment sampling technique. To measure the association between the variables, binary logistic regression model was employed. The findings of the study revealed that there is a significant association of socio-economic variables with financial inclusion. The overall analysis of the study indicates that the likelihood of having bank account, usage of mobile banking facility, and availing credit facility increases with the increase in the financial literacy of an individual in hill rural regions of the state. Further, the study also indicates the vulnerability of women relative to that of men in both cases of mobile usage and availing credit. The findings of the study suggest to target the economically vulnerable section of population (as identified in case of having low financial inclusion) and enhancing the financial literacy in these regions.

  • Using a nonclinical sample of 566 female students, this study examines the frequency and the severity of child sexual abuse in Taegu area. It also analyzes the factors that determine the probability of experiencing both contact and noncontact forms of the abuse. The results show that children from low socio-economic status tend to experience severe types of contact abuse while children from higher socio-economic status ten to experience severe types of contact abuse while children from higher socio-economic status are likely to be exposed to noncontact abuse. The growing place in the childhood also affects the victimization to noncontact and contact abuse differently. The absence of the biological parents significantly contributes to the occurrence of contact abuse, but have no impact on the noncontact abuse. However, the closeness of the family members and frequent communication reduce the rates of both contact and noncontact abuse substantially.
