This study examined the effect of private educational expenditure on adolescent depression and somatic symptoms. The sample comprised 2,589 first-grade middle-school students who completed the 2018 Korea Children and Youth Panel Survey. Data were analyzed using ANOVA (the generalized linear model), multiple regression, and quantile regression analysis. The principal results were as follows. First, 15.15% of adolescents reported depression symptoms, and 15.57% reported somatic symptoms. Second, levels of depression were significantly different among classes with a different level of private educational expenditure. Third, depression level was significantly negatively associated with private educational expenditure, in that the higher the private educational expenditure, the lower the depression level. Fourth, the effect of private educational expenditure on adolescent depression was significant at the 70~90th quantile regression, suggesting that private educational expenditure was associated with a higher level of depression symptoms. The results indicate that private education was viewed as a consumption commodity rather than a complementary educational practice or investment in human capital. Private education as a commodity might induce the highly developed and costly private education market. In turn, there is an increased financial burden for education at one end of the social-economic continuum and depression caused by relative deprivation at the other end.

이 연구의 목적은 방송통신 융합 환경을 설명하는 하나의 인식론이자 접근 방법으로서 정치경제학의 가치를 재고찰하는 것이다. 이를 위해 기존 정치경제학 연구의 특징과 맹점을 밝히고 변화하고 있는 미디어 환경의 특징적 현상을 도출함으로써 정치경제학이 본격적으로 다루어야 할 영역이 무엇인가를 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 정치경제학의 역사적 총체성이란 거시적 문제 틀을 방송통신 융합 시대에 새롭게 조명할 필요가 있다는 점을 지적했으며, 그에 입각해서 정치경제학의 원리와 연구경향을 살펴보았다. 그리고 미디어 자본의 소유구조에 대한 비판만으로 정치경제학의 범위를 한정시켰던 '경제주의 적' 경향을 극복하기 위해서 수용자 이론의 적극적 재개념화가 필요하다는 점을 강조했다. 아울러 재개념화의 이론적 출발점으로 신자유주의적 시장론의 문제점, 능동적 수용자론의 왜곡, 수용자 상품론의 한계와 창조적 긴장을 논의했다. 마지막으로 이 연구는 미디어 정치학의 현장 속으로 들어가기 위한 수용자 중심의 정책 이념의 확보 방안을 제안했다.

제조산업에 기반을 둔 기업들의 주된 관심사 중에 하나가 바로 비용 절감이다. 비용을 구성하는 요소에는 여러 가지가 있지만 그 중에서도 원자재 구입에 늘어가는 비용은 시장의 상황에 따라 변화하기 때문에 가변적인 요소로써 기업의 실적 및 재무구조에 영향을 주게 되고 이는 해당 기업의 주가에 반영된다. 본 논문에서는 국제 원자재 시장과 주식시장간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 주식시장에 등록된 기업들을 업종별고 분류하여 각 기업들의 주가 및 업종별 지수와 원자재 가격간의 cross-correlation을 구해보고 원자재 가격이 주식시장에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 이러한 연구는 주식시장을 예측하는데 있어서 원자재 시장의 분석이라는 또 하나의 중요한 지침을 마련하고 궁극적으로 불확실한 미래를 대비할 수 있는 Risk management 방안을 마련하는데 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

A competitive generating company (GENCO) could maximize its payoff by optimizing its generation assets. This paper considers the GENCO's arbitrage problem using price-based unit commitment (PBUC). The GENCO could consider arbitrage opportunities in purchases from qualifying facilities (QFs) as well as simultaneous trades with spots markets for energy, ancillary services, emission, and fuel. Given forecasted hourly market prices for each market, the GENCO's generating asset arbitrage problem is formulated as a mixed integer program (MIP) and solved by a branch-and-cut algorithm. A GENCO with 54 thermal and 12 combined-cycle units is considered for analyzing the proposed formulation. The proposed case studies illustrate the significance of simultaneous arbitrage by applying PBUC to multi-commodity markets.

MERCOSUR, which is the biggest economic community in the Latin America, has great potential as Korea's export market with 220 million population and 2.8 trillion$ GDP. In the midst of global economic crises, the importance of MERCOSUR is highlighted with relatively sound economic growth. The average tariff rate of MERCOSUR is 10.4~12.2% which is almost same as that of Korea(12.2%), but the tariff rates on Korea's main export items such as auto, display, digital camera, mobile phone are as high as 20~30%, which means that Korea-MERCOSUR FTA will result in substantial growth of Korea's export. In pursuing Korea-MERCOSUR FTA, cooperations in natural resources, agriculture, mid-sized aircraft, construction and green energy as well as liberalization of commodity market are very important for Korea. To realize Korea-MERCOSUR FTA, it is essential to overcome the objections from the manufacturing sectors of MERCOSUR. So it is desirable to aim relatively low in terms of the level of liberalization at the beginning, and expand corporate and industrial cooperation between Korea and MERCOSUR's manufacturing industries.

Purpose - This study intended to identify the effects of varied institutional systems and policies that regulate or define operations of enterprises upon the profitability of private enterprises through case analysis. Design/methodology/approach - The systems and differences in the institution and commodity distribution in Korea and Japan, which define the operation of the "Garak Wholesale Market" and "Ota Wholesale Market". We were examined in the presentthis study, and the statistical data pertinent to the trade volume and profitability of wholesale market corporations that substantially run both markets, were analyzed. Findings - The competition among the corporations that run the "Garak Wholesale Market" substantially is limited due to regulations over the mode of transaction and monopoly of trust thereby significantly higher level of profitability and safety are guaranteed. However, the institutional autonomy that enabled each distributor in the "Ota Wholesale Market" to compete with each other freely caused the distributors therein face difficulties in securing stable profits due to the relatively poor level of profitability resulted from the autonomy. Research implications or Originality - It seems the autonomy in commercial transaction in the "Garak Wholesale Market" in Korea needs to be secured to promote the competition of distributors therein through an amelioration of institutional systems and amendment of relevant laws that prescribe current management of various distributors/operators in the market.

Purpose - How are gains from trade distributed between countries when economic integration is achieved through free trade? The purpose of this paper is to answer this question. Design/methodology/approach - This study attempts to address the issue of distribution of trade gains between participating countries following economic integration in terms of positive economics. The analysis is therefore based on a theoretical methodology. Findings - First, commodity prices fall and consumer surplus increases in both large and small countries. Second, when economic integration into free trade is achieved, gains from trade always exist in small countries. However, the size of trade gains depends on the degree of difference from the market size of the partner country, the large country. However, the size of the gains from trade depends on the extent of difference between the market size of the large country. If the market size of a large country is much larger and there is a large difference, trade gains will be very large, whereas if the market size is similar, profits of domestic firm will decrease. Therefore, in that case, the size of the gains from trade becomes relatively small because only the gains from exchange exists. On the other hand, in a large country with a large market size, there is a possibility of trade gains only when the market size is similar to that of a small country, which is a trading partner. However, if there is a large difference in market size, the decrease in profits of domestic firm is relatively larger than the increase in consumer surplus due to trade, and rather, a trade loss occurs. Research implications or Originality - Our analysis contributes to filling the gaps in the literature regarding the distribution of gains from trade, and from a policy point of view, it is meaningful in examining the impact of market size, an important variable considered in regional economic integration of countries.

전통시장은 지역주민의 전통문화와 정서가 담긴 곳으로 단순히 상품의 거래의 공간이 아닌 문화공간, 지역 경제, 커뮤니티 등 우리 삶의 중심에 있어 왔다. 그러나 시설의 노후화 등으로 대형마트, 백화점등에 소비자를 지속적으로 빼앗기고 있는 실정이다. 내부 시설을 포함 디스플레이에 대한 인식이 낮아 겉모습에 비해 개발이 매우 저조한 실정이며 특히 제품명, 가격표, 원산지 등을 표기한 표지판은 시장 내 들어서면 가장 먼저 눈에 띔에도 불구하고 개선이 되어 있지 않은 실정이며 이러한 전통시장 서체에 대한 개선이 필요한 실정이다. 전통시장 내 사용되는 서체를 조사 분석을 진행해 차후에 더 나아가 전통시장만의 전용 서체를 만들어 시장 서체의 통일성을 갖추고 차별화 된 아이덴티티를 구축하여 전통시장 전용 서체를 개발하고자 한다.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to classify that the quality factors for comparing the Visegrard Group with the Nordic Council have historical similarities against Germany and the Soviet Union. However, this is because in the integrated European market, the competitiveness possessed by the two groups of countries is invested in the priority order to grow. Research design, data, and methodology - The study was conducted on the research design, and the reason for trying to compare the competence of the automobile industry in the assessment of industrial capability is that the Visegrard Group focuses on automotive production and the Nordic Association focuses on the commercialization of the automobile(market). In this study, searching and quantifying indirect evidence was made through standards are more complementary in Europe since each country acts like the role of the European automotive industry for example, which is different from the realistic evaluation criteria, are more important than those of the United States(first in the world) or Germany(first in Europe). Results - The results of this study are as follows: In the global EV market U.S.(export: $ 2.62 billion /share: 36.7%), Germany($ 1.29 billion /18.1%), France($ 390 million /5.4%), United Kingdom($ 380 million /5.4%), and South Korea($ 320 million/ 4.4%). South Korea's share of the EV market is 4.4%, while TSI reaches at +0.9 which measures the comparative advantage of a specific commodity in the world trade market. There is great potential for evaluated as products processing in export competition. But, commercialization, standardization, and overall market expansion did not have a positive impact on global satisfaction. Conclusions - EVs put importance on various utilities. So this suggests that Korea's exports to the EU, including the Visegrard Group, should be more focused on marketability when illuminating with a sharing industrial system under the European Union. It is necessary to specialize in manufacturing and commercialization by country(region) to prepare sharing economy and blockchain in order to create a smart-sharing city linked on artificial intelligence, as the commercialization of electric vehicles, which will have a larger growth rate than that of manufacturing in the fourth revolutionary era.
