The competition in root growth between plants was investigated under the field condition of Panax ginseng. Competition pattern was classified in three groups, interline, interrow and diagonal and the principal factor for competition was considered light, nutrients including water and both of them, respectively. Interline competition was always great while interrow and diagonal competition were varied to field. Diagonal competition was always great at the backside line. Competition appeared to be significant from the age of 4 years old at which leaf area index become greater than one. Above facts strongly suggest that main competition at present shading structure appears light and thus light intensity sufficient to decrease or eliminate light competition is the key factor to increase yield.

Although many studies tried to predict movie revenues in the last decade, the main focus is still to learn an efficient forecast model to fit the box-office revenues. However, the previous works lack the analysis about why the prediction errors occur, and no method is proposed to reduce the errors. In this paper, we consider the prediction error comes from the competition between the movies that are released in the same period. Our purpose is to analyze the competition value for a movie and to predict how much it will be affected by other competitors so as to improve the performance of movie box-office prediction. In order to predict the competition value, firstly, we classify its sign (positive/negative) and compute the probability of positive sign and the probability of negative sign. Secondly, we forecast the competition value by regression under the condition that its sign is positive and negative respectively. And finally, we calculate the expectation of competition value based on the probabilities and values. With the predicted competition, we can adjust the primal predicted box-office. Our experimental results show that predictive competition can help improve the performance of the forecast.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the government support project on traditional market and the interaction effect between the government support project and the competition intensity. Therefore, this study focuses on the competition intensity of individual stores in traditional markets, unlike the traditional research flow, which is beyond the competitive structure of traditional markets and large retailers. Research design, data, and methodology - This study is based on the data of 'Statistics of Traditional Market in 2017'. In this study, a multiple regression equation was constructed using the number of government support projects as an independent variable, competition intensity as an interaction, and sales per store, number of customers per store as a dependent variable for analysis. A multiple regression equation was constructed for the main effect analysis. To investigate the effect of the interaction, cohen(1980)'s regression equation and two-way ANOVA were used. Results - First, according to this study, the traditional market participated in the government support project showed that the sales and the number of visitors per store in the traditional market were higher than those in the non-participation market. Second, the impact of government support projects on sales per store(also number of visiting customers per store) can be different depending on the competition intensity. More specifically, if the market is politically supported by a market with a high level of competition, it may be more effective than the market with no support. Conclusions - Based on the results of the study, we suggested academic and practical implications and suggested that competition intensity of stores in the traditional market should be considered in the future. The implications of this study are as follows. First, the effects of the government's traditional market support project were analyzed empirically. Second, this study is different from the previous studies in that it examined the competitive strengths and the effects of individual stores in traditional markets, away from competition between traditional market and large retailers. Third, it provided practical implications for the operation of government support projects.

An online marketplace, such as eBay, is an example of two-sided markets. In online marketplaces, there are transactions between sellers and buyers and direct competition effects among sellers and among buyers. Previous research on two-sided market has not handle these competition effects and mostly focused on indirect network externalities between sellers and buyers. We analyze the fee structure of an online marketplace considering direct competition effects among sellers and among buyers. We find that when fees for sellers and buyers can be imposed, an auction or fixed-pricing rule can be chosen according to the characteristics of a product traded. But when only fees for sellers can be imposed, an auction can be taken as a trading mechanism solely.

This paper aims to develop methodology and indicators to review effective competition in Korean mobile telecommunication market. After examining strengths and weaknesses of other countries' experiences, we proposed several indicators for the assessment of competition. Developed from criteria such as transparency, regulation cost, policy objectives, proposed indicators comprise market structure, behaviour of sellers and consumers, and consumer benefits. These indicators are applied to the Korean mobile market. During the period 2001-2004, 'the competition assessment index' increased steadily, meaning the state of competition was aggravated during this period.

This paper investigates two important relationships relating to firm behaviour and performance using econometric methods. First, the relationship between product market competition and innovation is examined, and then the association between innovation and productivity is separately investigated. Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Business Longitudinal Database are used in the analysis. For every measure of competition considered except one, the results of the modelling are consistent with an anti-Schumpeterian relationship between competition and innovation - that is, firms appear more likely to innovate if they face stronger competition. The results examining the relationship between innovation and productivity, although weaker than those between competition and innovation, suggest that innovation is associated with better productivity outcomes.

This study examines optimal emission taxes and welfares in mixed duopoly markets where public and private firms produce differentiated goods and emit pollutions. Both comparing quantity and price competitions and comparing simultaneous and simultaneous games provides the followings findings: First, irrespective of competition modes between quantity and price competitions or simultaneous and sequential games, the optimal emission tax is always lower than marginal environmental damage. Second, emission tax under private leadership is the highest in quantity competition while that under public leadership is the highest in price competition. Third, environmental damage under Cournot and private leadership is worsened in quantity competition while that under public leadership is worsened in price competition. Finally, welfare under Bertrand and public leadership is improved in price competition while that under private leadership is improved in quantity competition.

As international trade has been increased, the competition of major ports is getting hard. The objective of this competition is that to get more cargoes, so port managements and operators are struggling to obtain cargoes. In addition the competition structure has classified several forms bemuse of specialization, integration and subdivision of port players. In this paper, therefore, we analyze the change of competition structure by port players' development characteristics. In the result of this study, competition structure is divided into five groups as among nations, among ports, among container terminal operation companies, among global container terminal operation companies and among container terminal operation companies operated by shipping companies. And they have showed not only competition but also co-operation partly in order to get strategic position.
