The government of Gyeongbuk in Korea increased the financial input in the agricultural sector by 43% from 2008 through 2012. However, the productivity of the agricultural sector in Gyeongbuk rose only about 3.6% during the same period. This study evaluated the agricultural competitiveness of each city or county in Gyeongbuk using six evaluation indices (scale, productivity, finance input, location quotient, technical education, and total) and investigated the relationship between the indices and total values of agricultural productions. The results show that Sangju, Gyeongju, Andong, Uiseong, and Seongju have high competitiveness for the scale index. For the productivity index, Gimcheon, Mungyeong, Ulleung, Yeongju, and Seongju were highly evaluated. For the location quotient index, Yeongcheon, Uiseong, Cheongdo, Seongju, and Sangju have high competitiveness. Uiseong, Yeongdeok, Cheongsong, Gunwi, and Yeongyang were highly evaluated for the agricultural finance input index. For the agricultural technical education index, Chilgok, Sangju, Mungyeong, Uiseong, and Gyeongju have high competitiveness. Finally, Sangju, Euiseong, Yeongcheon, Gyeongju, and Andong were highly evaluated for the total competitive index, while Yeongdeok, Yeongyang, Goryeong, Uljin, and Cheongsong have a low competitiveness for the total competitive index. This study also found that out of five indices, scale, location quotient, and technical education indices have a positive and statistically significant effect on the total values of agricultural production. However, we did not find any statistically significant effect of the productivity and finance input indices on the total values of agricultural production. Hence, we can conclude that the government should focus their agricultural policy on scale, location quotient and education to improve total agricultural production.

Purpose: Research on attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) plays an important role in helping provinces attract more FDI projects. However, with local competition, FDI enterprises also have to consider their investment. This study evaluates the provincial competitiveness to attract FDI in Thai Nguyen province, a province of Vietnam. In which provincial distribution of competitiveness is measured through nine indicators. Research design, data, and methodology: The study collects data (FDI and the provincial competitiveness index) from 2006 to 2020. The study uses Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) to text the impact of distribution of competitivenes on foreign direct investment. With time-series, the ARDL is suitable for data analysis. Results: The regression results indicate that the competition index of market entry and informal costs negatively impact attracting FDI into the province; The human resource training quality index has a positive effect on FDI. The results show that FDI enterprises pay much attention to business establishment procedures, hidden costs, and quality of human resources in the province. Conclusions: At the same time, in terms of practice, the results of this study, the authors also offer solutions to help improve the ability to attract FDI into Thai Nguyen province. The significant provincial competitiveness indicators should be taken into account for improvement first.

Purpose: It suggests that in order to compare economic development between large cities, this paper aims to exclude factors such as GDP, trade, manpower, R&D, then present newly an analysis of others (inflation, exports, middle-class, competitiveness, digital). Research design, data, and methodology: In the period of rapid digitalization of the world, we would like to deal with different analysis factors than before. This is because digitalization and prices have the greatest impact on the region in terms of national competitiveness. Random sampling was used as the sample size of this study to generate various values for the annual income of the middle class and the competitiveness index, and the analysis method was used. This is because the income of the middle class can lead the digitalization of the country and accelerate it to standardization. Results: Based on these analysis, it is necessary to reduce the inflation rate of digitalization, it is necessary to lower inflation rates. This can be more fundamental than interest rates. If the demand for digitalization is reduced, national competitiveness, national competitiveness will lower national competitiveness. By building a hub for middle class, you can reduce this inflation rate without China's oversupply. Conclusion: This is because it is difficult to maintain competitiveness through interest rate control, as prices rise, and inflation can become unstable. This study can seek digital acceptance by the middle class as a solution to problems like the regional economic confrontation of new globalization inflation environment.

기후변화 문제와 그 해결을 위한 범지구적 대응은 다양한 측면에서 기업의 경쟁력에 영향을 미치고 있기 때문에 이에 효과적으로 대응하지 않는다면 기업의 경쟁력을 안정적으로 유지하기 어려울 뿐만 아니라 기후변화와 관련된 국가 전체의 경제적 비용이 크게 증가할 수 있다. 기업의 경쟁력은 대내외적인 여건 하에서 지속적인 생산활동과 이윤 창출을 위한 잠재력을 의미한다. 경쟁력은 직관적으로는 쉽게 이해되는 개념이지만 실제로 이를 결정하는 요인을 도출하고 그 변화를 측정하는 것은 복잡하고도 논란이 많은 주제이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 일반적으로 사용되는 방법은 '경쟁력지수'를 개발하여 활용하는 것이다. 경쟁력지수는 기업이나 국가의 경쟁력을 일정한 지표체계와 복합지표 방법론을 이용하여 하나의 지수로 측정하는 방식이다. 기후변화는 물리적 피해, 온실가스 규제, 고정자산 감모, 제품 수요 변화 등을 통해 요소, 기술, 제품, 시장구조 등의 기업경쟁력 결정요인에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 기업 경쟁력은 기후변화라는 영향요인에 대한 취약성을 줄이고 새로운 대내외적인 여건에 성공적으로 대응하여야만 안정적으로 유지할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기업의 경쟁력에 영향을 미치는 요인을 도출하고 이를 반영한 주제별 지표체계 및 지수 개발을 목적으로 한다. '기후변화 경쟁력지수'는 기후변화 요인에 따른 경쟁력 변화를 정량적으로 측정할 수 있는 도구를 제시함으로써 기업의 기후변화 대응 능력 제고와 산업계에 대한 기후변화 정책을 효과적으로 운영하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
