This paper aims to evaluate the indirect economic damages to anglers of the marine recreational charter caused by marine pollution associated with the Herbei Spirit vessel, which spilled 12,547 kl of crude oil in Taean coastal areas in December 2007. In order to evaluate the indirect cost to anglers of the charter fishing, consumer surplus for charter fishing is estimated using a Poisson model (PM), a negative binomial model (NBM), a truncated Poisson model (TPM), and a truncated negative binomial model (TNBM), which account for the characteristics of count data (non-negative discrete data), for individual travel cost method (ITCM). Because of over-dispersion problem in PM and TPM, NBM and TNBM are considered to be more appropriate statistically. All parameters such as income, fishing careers, travel cost and catch that are estimated are statistically significant and theoretically valid. Based on TNBM results, consumer surplus per trip and per person was estimated to be 277 thousand won, total consumer surplus per person and per year about 2.3 million won, and the marginal effect of consumer surplus on % changes in catch rate is about 33 thousand won. The consumer surplus was converted into total indirect economic damages for aggregation which are evaluated to be 125 billion won, reflecting the number of anglers and damage rate.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the economic value of boat fishing experience marine tourism activity in Jeju Island's Chagwido. The economic value is estimated as consumer surplus using count data models including the truncated Poisson model and the truncated negative binominal distribution model. This study collects the effective 504 questionnaires from boat fishing experience tourists in Jeju Island's Chagwido. The truncated negative binominal distribution model was statistically more suitable and valid than other models. The truncated negative binominal distribution model was applied to estimate consumer surplus as economic value from boat fishing experience tourism activity in Jeju Island's Chagwido. A consumer surplus value per trip was estimated as about 209,900 won. The annual economic value from boat fishing experience tourism activity was estimated as 273,700 won in Jeju Island's Chagwido. Consequently, boat fishing experience marine tourism activity has a very large economic value in Jeju Island.

In this study, we analyzed the economic feasibility of the swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus) fry releasing program in the West Sea of Korea. The catch rate of released fry in 2010, measured by genetic markers, was applied to the economic surplus method to estimate benefits. As a result of our analysis, the B/C ratio, as an indicator of economic evaluation, was determined to be 2.168, which means that the releasing program was economically feasible. And it was shown that the benefits to consumers is six times greater than the benefits to producers, confirming the necessity of the releasing program as a public work.

국내 컨테이너 물동량 증가로 이를 처리하는 하역산업 증가하였다. 하지만 1999년 이후 하역요율의 신고제 전환과 시설 공급 과잉으로 인해 하역사간의 과도한 요율경쟁이 발생하여 2015년 기준 컨테이너 하역 요율이 2000년에 비해 절반 이하로 하락하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 하역 요율의 하락이 항만 물동량 수요에 영향을 미쳐 항만 하역산업의 시장을 확대 시켰는지? 아니면 과도한 요율 경쟁으로 인해 소비자잉여가 오히려 축소되었는지를 경제학적으로 분석해 보았다. 이를 위해, 본 연구에서는 기존에 항만부문의 경제적 가치를 추정한 연구에서 사용한 직접추정방식이 아닌 수요함수를 이용한 추정방식을 제시하였으며 소비자잉여 추정을 위해 타분야에서 주로 사용된 알렉산더방식 외에 힉스의 수요함수를 이용한 하우스만방식을 이용하여 추정의 신뢰성을 높였다. 그 결과 컨테이너 수출입 수요에 비해 하역 요율이 과다하게 하락하여 소비자잉여를 포함한 하역산업의 경제적 가치는 오히려 하락하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 향후 환적 컨테이너 물동량을 포함한 경제적 가치추정에 관한 연구가 진행되어야하며 나아가 항만산업 전체로 확대하여 현재 항만부문 예비타당성 조사 표준지침에서 이용되고 있는 경제적 편익 방식을 보완할 수 있어야 하겠다.

The purpose of this paper is to propose an appropriate evaluation scheme for improvement activities, based on a simple model comprising cash inflow by sales as well as variable and fixed cost expenditures. The paper distinguishes capacity surplus and capacity shortage situations, and examines economic benefits gained by yield increase improvement and capacity increase. The paper then proposes a basic rule of thumb for economic evaluation of improvement activities. The logic is simple but useful in practice, being conducive towards improvement activities under current economic conditions with uncertainties.

In this paper, we conducted an empirical study on the economic value of Palutungan Resort, Gunung Ciremai National Park (Indonesia), using an individual travel cost method. Gunung Ciremai is the highest mountain in West Java Province which has high biodiversity and constitutes the home range of the endangered species, Nisaetus bartelsi and leopards. Using the individual travel cost method, we estimated the annual consumer surplus of ecotourism for Palutungan Resort to be approximately $19, while its total economic value was $0.23 million. However, Palutungan Resort does not benefit exclusively, because the total economic value is divided diversely among the central government (non-tax revenue), local government (taxes), and local communities, while the transportation agencies, retailers, and gas station companies also reap some valuable benefits. In regard to the benefit allocation, all of the associated parties should participate in the conservation and preservation of natural resources in Palutungan Resort to improve the ecotourism services.

In today's uncertain economic environment, the evaluation of safety for investment alternatives is of practical importance in manufacturing companies. This paper examines a method of quantitatively evaluating profitability and risk for multiple alternatives using the total-cost unit-cost domain. The paper assumes such factors as unit sales price, sales and production volume, unit variable cost, fixed cost, and yield for each alternative. The paper incorporates the relationship between production capacity and demand, distinguishing between cases of production capacity surplus and shortage for each year over the entire planning horizon. The paper investigates the case in which the values of each factor independently move in the direction of decreasing profit each year, and clarifies the procedure of comparing safety among multiple investment alternatives on a single consolidated total-cost unit-cost domain. The difficulty of the problem lies in the method of consolidating multiple total-cost unit-cost domains into a single domain since the combination of years of capacity surplus and shortage depends upon the change values in each factor under consideration. A systematic method of evaluating profitability as well as risk is presented, and the validity of the proposed method is verified using a numerical example.
