2007년 현재 한 미 FTA 협상 결과에 따라 미국산 수입 쇠고기의 개방이 본격화되면서 국내 외식시장의 변화가 예상되고 있다. 이에 국내 외식시장은 '쇠고기 원산지 표시제의 정착'과 '국내산 한우와 수입 쇠고기에 대한 소비자 니즈의 충족'이라는 당면과제를 안고 있다. 이와 같이 조사 분석된 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 일반음식점의 쇠고기 원산지 표시에 대한 소비자 인식 수준은 비교적 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 수입 쇠고기를 선호하는 이유는 한우에 비해 맛은 떨어지지만 가격이 상대적으로 저렴하기 때문인 것으로 나타났으며, 일반음식점에서 판매하는 국내산 한우에 대한 불신감이 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 국내산 한우는 맛의 우수성, 안전성, 신선도에서 높은 평가를 받고 있는 반면, 수입 쇠고기는 모든 속성에서 보통 수준 이하의 낮은 평가를 받고 있었다. 이와 같은 조사 결과를 토대로 판단해 볼 때, 쇠고기의 원산지 표시제에 대한 일반음식점의 올바른 인식과 원산지 표시제도의 정착을 통해 소비자들이 믿고 먹을 수 있는 외식 환경이 조성되어야 하며, 국내산 한우와 수입 쇠고기에 대한 소비자 니즈를 충족시키기 위한 노력이 있어야 할 것이다.

Head-space method를 통하여 세척제에 대한 VOCs의 배출특성에서 1가제 제품을 제외한 모든 제품에서 다양한 VOCs가 검출되었으며, 제품에 따라 다소 차이는 있지만 대부분의 생활용품에서 유해한 물질이 검출되었다. 국내 제조회사에 따라 VOCs의 종류가 유사한 것도 있지만 대부분 제조회사에 따른 배출특성의 차이가 있을 수 있다고 사료되어진다. 외국과 국내의 생활용품의 구성성분 차이와 이에 따른 배출특성 차이가 있는 것으로 사료되어진다. 따라서 소비자가 VOCs노출로부터 보다 안전한 생활용품을 선정할 수 있도록, 생활용품제조회사들이 VOCs를 최소화하는 원자재를 사용하도록 유도해야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to compare characteristics between the parents who saved money for their children's college education and those who did not, in an effort to identify the factors influencing the decision to save. From 1998 Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), a sample of 1,085 family households was employed. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the probability of saving for college education. The results showed that higher incomes and financial assets significantly increased the probability of saving for children's college education. The married couples who had higher education and larger household sizes were more likely to save. The age of the youngest child was a significant positive factor in the probability of saving for college education

As the economic society develops very exceedingly, the gap of production and consumption elarges gradually. So the current function to connect them and the function to communicate are needed. I think the advertisement take the charge of this role. This advertisement is so essential to today's economic society that its power influences variably both the economic society and the consumers. The enterprisers, advertising owners stick to the maximization of profits and neglect the principle of true advertisements. They but tise not the information for the consumers to choose reasonably but the false, exaggerating advertisement and unfair manifestation very frequently, which is the main trouble in the current problems of consumption. Therefore, on the one hand, in this study from protecting the consumers not to be involved in the false, exaggerating advertisements, the establishment of advertising ethics as advertising owner's self-control is discussed. On the other hand, the legal control regulation in Korea, involving Japan and U.S.A. are analyzed. The cases of false, exaggerating advertisements and unfair manifestation in Korea are also demonstrated. Finally, the proposals to improve the advertisements are made from the Point of government, enterprisers, and consumers.

The U.S. government have concerned about food safety over the last two decades. The concept of the continuum, “from farm to table” was created to explore ways to prevent foodborne illnesses in all stages of food systems. On the continuum, consumers were recognized as the last line of defense to prevent foodborne illnesses, and much efforts were made to educate them safe food handling. This research was conducted to investigate infant formula handling and hand-washing behaviors of low-income families, especially parents and guardians of infants. The subject was selected from participants of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children(WIC), a federal program for low-income families in the U.S. Stratified 200 local WIC offices were randomly selected based on the number of WIC participants in each state, and 20 randomly selected WIC participants from each selected office were asked to complete questionnaires. SPSS for Windows was used for statistical analyses including frequency, cross- tabulation, and chi-square analyses. A total of 87 WIC offices returned completed question-naires (N = 1,598), and 492 were parents/guardians of infants. Most respondents were white (51.3%), high school graduates (41.5%) , and participated in WIC>1 yew. Most respondents (80.9%) teamed about food safety from WIC, and only limited number of respondents (10.2%) used the Internet for food safety information. Most respondents stored prepared formula safely (94.6%) and discarded formula left in the bottle after feeding (84.5%) , but fewer used brushes to wash formula bottles (71.3%) and boiled water(15.2%) Chi-square analyses showed respondents in different race/ethnicity had different food handling behaviors. Respondents showed generally good hand-washing behaviors as 94.2% always washing hands after using restroom, 93.2% after touching meat items, and 87.l% before preparing foods. Fewer respondents, however, washed hands after changing baby diapers (77.0%) and touching pets (67.2%). Researchers concluded that WIC education on food safety was effective, as limited food safety education covered during WIC education were followed well (e.g., storing prepared formula and discarding leftover). However, results also indicated that there were many behaviors needed to be reinforced especially to overcome family tradition and culture on food handling behaviors. The WIC may serve as good food safety resources and education agents utilizing mandatory education sessions because the vast amount of food safety information on the Internet was not readily accessible for this low-Income Population.

The purposes of this study were to determine what factors influence risk perceptions of females and males for milk produced using food-related biotechnology, to test whether risk perceptions or other factors influence self-protection actions and to estimate milk demand response in light of self-protection actions and other economic and demographic factors. The expected utility model was applied to explain the way consumers would take self-protection actions regarding risk perceptions and to drive milk demand. Telephone interviews were conducted and the data were collected from households(females=1,029, males=437) nationwide in the U.S. And the data were analyzed by Heckman two-step method using the software package LIMDEP. Risk perceptions were found to be influenced not by demographic factors but by outrage factors as well as attitudinal factors in both females and males, although some factors were different. In addition, risk perceptions and labeling availability were found to significantly influence self-protection actions in both groups. Furthermore, as an important concern in this study, self-protection action was found to significantly influence milk demand in only male group, implying a consistent behavior of males. Also milk price and household size were found to significantly influence milk demand in both groups. In fact, the results did demonstrate that labeling availability significantly influenced self-protection actions. That is, in markets where labeled laternatives were present, concerned consumers were more likely to self protect by substituting to these products. A policy implication of this result is that labeling food products produced using biotechnology enhances consumer choice. Hence, consumer could express a more accurate demand response and reduce the perceived food safety risk. Furthermore, education for females might be necessary to have a consistent behavior because self-protection action did not significantly influence female's milk demand, though they have greater risk perceptions than males have.

This study focused on the cultural differences between South Korea and the U.S. in terms of male consumers' sex role attitude and its influence on grooming and apparel shopping behavior. Purposive samples of American and South Korean males aged between 20 and 40 years were surveyed. The sample sizes were 219 and 233 for American and South Korean consumers, respectively. The data were analyzed by structural equation modeling and ANOVA using SPSS 12.0 and AMOS 14.0. The results indicated that only grooming was influenced by the perceived femininity in the case of South Korean men; however, the model for American men indicated a significant positive influence of femininity on grooming and recreational apparel shopping behavior. In other words, American male consumers who perceive themselves feminine were more likely to be engaged in grooming and recreational apparel shopping behavior. On the other hand, for South Korean men, recreational apparel shopping behavior was not influenced by their sex role attitude, or whether they considered themselves feminine or masculine. This means that recreational apparel shopping behavior is a gender-specific behavior in the U.S., but not in South Korea. The findings of this study indicated that culture has influence on consumers' approach to shopping and appearance. South Korean male consumers were more likely to acknowledge themselves as being feminine, enjoy apparel shopping and grooming compared to American male consumers.

1992년부터 2007년까지의 실증분석 결과에 따른 우리나라 부동산시장 가격과 관련된 시사점으로서는 첫째, 미국과 달리 경기 침체시나 경기 회복 시에 뚜렷한 차이점을 발견할 수는 없었다는 점이다. 둘째, 전국아파트 매매가격이 상승할 경우 통화당국에서 인플레이션율 목표관리에서 참고하여야 할 것임을 나타내고 있다. 참고로 1986년부 터 2002년까지 미국 대도시지역의 아파트와 상가, 사무실의 순가격상승율을 패널데이 타로 추정한 자료에 따르면, 이들은 거시경제변수와 단기이자율, 이자율간의 스프레드 차이, 인플레이션 등에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이들 자산가격상승률은 경기상황과 반비례관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 대부분 대출 및 신용과 관련되어 있기 때문이다. 그리고 이는 부동산시장에서 자산 간 수익률 격차를 크게 넓힐 수 있음을 지적하고 있다.

Since the nation's currency crisis in 1997. Korea reioined the USD 10.000 per capita income group after collapse of per capita income to USD 6.000 due to the minus GDP growth and sharp hike of exchange rate. It has also been expected for Korea to achieve per capita income of USD 20.000. provided that it maintains $10\%$ export increase rate. $5\%$ nominal GDP growth rate. $3\%$ consumer price index. $2\%$ increase in KRW/USD exchange rate. and $1\%$ net population increase rate. Yet. it should be noted that the nation needs to fulfill the necessity of various SOC infrastructure investment in order to achieve this goal. This paper will address the prospects for the future direction of the national SOC policies through the historical examination of the industrialized nations. such as U.S.A.. U.K.. France. and Japan. with regard to the relationships between economic growth and SOC provision. Some efforts will be made to forecast the optimal budget allocation of the national SOC, in particular, between highway and railway sectors.
