기업의 환경책임에 대한 이해관계자의 관심이 높아지고, 정부의 환경규제가 강화되면서 환경경영의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 국내 기업들의 환경에 대한 인식수준은 낙후된 편이며, 환경 관련 연구들도 환경성과와 경제적 성과의 관련성에 대한 일관된 결론을 제시하지 못하고 있다. 이는 첫째, 경제적 성과는 평가범위가 상대적으로 협소하고 가격이라는 공통 단위로 측정될 수 있는 반면, 환경오염물질의 감소, 온실가스 및 탄소 배출의 감소, 에너지 효율 등과 같은 환경성과는 평가범위가 다양하고 측정단위가 상이하기 때문에 선정되는 성과지표에 따라 서로 다른 연구결과가 도출될 수 있기 때문이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 일반화되고 표준화된 성과지표의 개발이 모색되어야 하며, 특히 환경경영의 의미가 '지속성장'이란 개념으로 확장됨에 따라 이러한 정의에 부합하기 위해서는 개발된 성과지표는 환경성과와 경제적 성과의 의미를 동시에 포괄할 수 있어야 한다. 둘째, 현재 대부분의 연구는 환경경영의 실행주체인 기업의 환경투자 동기 및 환경성과에만 주목하고 있을 뿐, 환경경영의 효과적인 실천전략에 대한 명확한 기준을 제시하지 못하고 있다. 예를 들어, 경쟁업체들과의 상대적인 환경경쟁력을 비교함으로써 프로세스 개선전략 또는 시장차별화 전략을 도출하고 이를 경제적 성과와 연계하기 위한 환경전략의 선택적 대안을 제안함으로써 환경성과와 경제적 성과의 선순환적인 관계성을 확보할 수 있어야 한다. 본고에서는 첫째, 다수 투입과 다수 산출요인으로 구성된 에코효율성을 자료포획분석(Data Envelopment Analysis: DEA) 모형을 통하여 산출하고자 한다. 에코효율성을 기초로 국내 기업들의 환경경쟁력을 비교분석하고 에코효율성을 개선하기 위한 환경전략의 선택적 대안을 제시하고자 한다. 둘째, 패널분석을 이용하여 에코효율성과 경제적 성과의 인과관계를 분석하고, 합동 회귀모형을 이용하여 에코효율성과 경제적 성과의 관계성을 분석하고자 한다. 국내 23개 기업의 4개년 자료를 대상으로 DEA에서 산출된 에코효율성을 이용하여 표본기업들의 기간별 에코 효율성을 산출하였다. 산출된 에코효율성을 기초로 23개 기업의 연도별 기술효율성, 순수기술효율성 및 규모효율성을 비교하였으며 비효율적인 기업들의 에코효율성 개선 대안을 제시하였다. 또한, 에코효율성과 경제적 성과로의 인과성이 존재하고 있으며, 수익성(ROA 및 ROS) 및 기업가치(토빈 Q, 주가 및 주가수익률)와 같은 경제적 성과와 에코효율성의 관련성을 분석한 결과 에코효율성이 기업의 수익성 및 기업가치와 매우 유의적인 양(+)의 관련성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 본고의 결과는 다양한 환경변수와 경제적 성과변수를 통합한 에코효율성을 이용함으로써 환경 관련 연구들의 일반성이나 보편성을 제고할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 환경관리의 지속가능성에 대해 보다 깊은 통찰력을 제공해 줄 것으로 기대한다. 또한, DEA 모형에서 제공하는 연도별 기술효율성, 순수기술효율성 및 규모효율성의 분석결과를 이용하여 에코효율성에 대한 변화의 원인을 탐색하고 환경경영에 대한 선택적 전략을 제시함으로써 환경경영의 실행방향과 구체화된 실천목표를 지원할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 마지막으로 본고에서 분석된 일관된 연구 결과는 기업의 환경투자가 경제적 성과로 연계될 수 있다는 점에서 선순환적인 환경경영의 동기부여 요인으로 작용할 것으로 기대한다.

Purpose - The objective of this study is to investigate what motivates global FDI inflows in the different economic development level and to clarify the FDI motivation type in the level of qualitative economic growth. Design/methodology/approach - Major macroscopic social·economic factors induced FDI inflows were analyzed using fixed-effect panel regression with 30-year panel data of 28 countries from 1985 to 2014. For analysis in the stage of economic growth, two category of developed and developing countries was used. And to analyze FDI motivation type in the level of qualitative economic growth, 4 shares of GDP; consumption·government·investment expenditure and export, was used as explanatory variable. Findings - In developed country, TFP(total factor productivity) and GDP have a great influence on FDI inflows, and consumption and labor compensation have a slight effect. This result indicates that the market seeking-driven, horizontal type investment is shown along with efficiency seeking investment. In developing country, human capital and TFP is shown to have greater impact on FDI inflows and labor compensation, exports, investment and government expenditures also have impacts. Thus it has confirmed that not only efficiency-seeking vertical investment for using low cost well educated laborer, but also government-driven economic growth and export policies could affect the FDI inflows. Research implications or Originality - The FDI investment decision making of multinational companies is decided by their own purpose. But, in the concept of as follows; 1) FDI is a long-term capital flowing for maximization of economic utility with limited global resource, 2) Thus FDI could be affected by macro socio·economic factors of host country. 3) Also such macro factors is different by each economic growth qualitative level. Therefore macro socio·economic factors of each country could be affected by the qualitative level of their own economic growth. To attract FDI inflows, it is desirable to implement differentiated incentive policies in the qualitative level of economic growth. Furthermore in developing countries it is recommended to implement government driven economic growth policies as follows; fostering well educated human resources, improving technology productivity in the relative lower cost labor market compared to developed countries and boosting international export volume.

Low voltage direct current (LVDC) distribution system is a suitable techno-economic candidate which can create an innovative solution for distribution network development with respect to rural electrification. This research focuses on the use of LVDC distribution system to replace some of KEPCO's existing traditional medium voltage alternating current (MVAC) distribution network for rural electrification in South Korea. Considering the technical and economic risks and benefits involved in such project, a comparative techno-economic analysis on the LVDC and the MVAC distribution networks is conducted using economic assessment method such as the net present value (NPV) on a discounted cash flow (DCF) basis as well as the sensitivity analysis technique. Each would play a role in an economic performance indicator and a measure of uncertainty and risk involved in the project. In this work, a simulation model and a computational tool are concurrently developed and employed to aid the techno-economic analysis, evaluation, and estimation of the various systems efficiency and/or performance.

With the efforts to development of renewable energy technologies, and increasing awareness to environmental issues, the usage of wood pallets has been increasing every year since the introduction of wood pallet technology to the domestic market. until 2009, majority usage of pellet boiler was in the residential houses. In an effort to increase the distribution of wood pellet boiler to cultivation facilities with high usage of fuels, The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has launched a distribution project of wood pellet boiler for fuel usage as a part of the agricultural and fishery energy efficiency projects. Although only small number of farms with a heat-culturing facility have replaced from conventional boiler to pellet boiler. Although part of reason for low usage of pallet boiler is lack of understanding and information of it, the main reasons are high initial cost and uncertainty of its cost efficiency. Also, most people from agricultural industry don't realize it's significance in terms of environmental benefit due to lack of understanding in 'resource circulation' and 'adopting to climate change'. In this study, first, we did a cost-efficiency analysis of the farm which uses a diesel boiler to grow cucumber, tomato, paprika. Then we replaced the diesel boiler to a pallet boiler and measured its cost-efficiency again. By comparing the cost-efficiency of the diesel boiler with the pellet boiler, we analyzed the economic viability of pellet boiler. Then we analyzed viability of pallet boiler usage in terms of 'resource circulation' and 'adopting to climate change'. As a result of our analysis, we have found out that under the current system of government support, the energy usage varies depends of the types crops grown and the higher the energy use, the more cost efficient it is to use the pallet boiler. Also, it is economically viable to use the pallet boiler in terms of 'resource circulation' and 'adopting to climate change'.

Purpose - This paper assesses the trade potential and efficiency of Korea and China in the aquatic products trade. Trade efficiency and potential are the main factors that affect the growth of a country's trade. In this study, a time-varying stochastic frontier trade gravity model was constructed to analyze the trade potential and efficiency between Korea and China. By integrating the results of trade theory and empirical analysis, measures and suggestions were proposed to encourage the release of trade potential of fish exports between Korea and China. Design/methodology - In this paper, GDP per capita instead of economic size was chosen as an explanatory variable, and population size and relative distance were selected as explanatory variables to measure trade potential. For trade non-efficiency terms, regional organizations, political factors, and economic factors were mainly considered, and variables such as free trade agreements, political stability, regulatory quality, government efficiency, currency freedom, investment freedom, financial freedom, and trade freedom were selected. Panel data for South Korea and 14 aquatic products trading partners (including China) from 2002 to 2020 were used in the empirical analysis. Findings - In the past 19 years, South Korea's export trade potential of aquatic products to China has never been lower than 70%. It was above 90% from 2006 to 2018, and has been at a high level for a long time. This shows that China's aquatic product market has large potential for development. Originality/value - This study examines the effectiveness and potential of South Korea's exports of aquatic items to China in a methodical and comprehensive empirical manner. The evaluation of the export trade potential of South Korea's aquatic goods to China is more precise when the effects of regional organization, political, and economic variables are taken into account in the trade non-efficiency term of the stochastic frontier gravity model. At the same time, we propose to increase the scale of South Korea's aquatic products trade from the perspective of China's demand. This issue of trade studies is underexplored both empirically and in theory, although the issue has long been important to Korean and world trade.

This paper evaluates the technical efficiency of organic farm management practices and studies its main determinants in Hongdongmyeon of Hongsung county, Chungnam province. The analysis is performed in two stages. First, the efficiency is measured via the nonparametric "Data Envelopment Analysis" (DEA) technique. The DEA models are constructed not only to assess the overall technical efficiency of organic fanning practices but also to evaluate the management efficiencies. In a second stage critical determinants of efficiency are determined using a Tobit model. In this analysis the focus is on technical and socio-economic variables. The analytical results show that technically efficient farms is about 13 percent and the mean technical efficiency is found to be 0.73 indicating that many farms are not operating at an efficient scale.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth at the provincial level by using time-series data in Binh Dinh from 1997 to 2019. We applied the quantitative approaches Vector Autoregression (VAR) and Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) in the model, which includes economic growth, real foreign direct investment capital, ratio of trained workers, and infrastructure. The results show that all these variables are stationary at the first difference. In ARDL analysis, we found that the economic growth positively affects FDI attraction. However, there is no evidence of the effect of FDI on economic growth in the condition of low capital implemented. Moreover, findings also show that the impact of FDI on economic growth is influenced by two factors: infrastructure and human capital. The lack of human capital, which is trained personnel and infrastructure, is the main barrier hindering and inhibiting FDI's contribution to local economic growth. In order to improve the efficiency of FDI on economic growth in the future, it is suggested that the Binh Dinh government should have proper policies in terms of the infrastructure, the human capital investment. They would allow Binh Dinh to enhance the capital absorptive capacity and capital efficiency.

The government expands its investment on R&D programs for economic growth, thus there is growing attention on the result of R&D Programs. This study proposes more improved measuring method for efficiency when the number of R&D programs is not enough to be for measuring efficiency analysis. It provides more various application method of factors on efficiency analysis. This study analyzes the influence of each input factor on efficiency by using partial efficiency concept. And it also determines input factors in similar influence throughout Spearman correlation coefficient. Finally, it suggests new method to improve discriminatory power of efficiency analysis by determining representative factors. Also, the proposed method can be practiced not only for national R&D programs, but also for other fields of research.
