This paper was developed to determine the university students' coping behavior pattern in meal management with Korean economic crisis in 1997. The data was collected from 544 university students in Ulsan areas. The coping behavior consisted of 26 items which were categorized into 4 factors; (factors were named as related to): 'decrease of intakes factor' ,: 'change to the cheaper choices factor' ,: 'increase of meals at home factor' and 'emphases on quantity sacrificing the quality factor'. Socio-economic variables affected differently the coping behavior in meal management and 4 sub factors. The amount of discretionary expenditure, the status of housing, the monthly household income and gender affected the coping behavior in meal management. The amount of discretionary expenditure and the monthly household income affected the decrease of intakes factor and the change to the cheaper choices factor. The amount of discretionary expenditure and gender affected the increase of meals at home factor and the emphases on quantity sacrificing the quality factor.

The reduction of fishing grounds due to the establishment of EEZ system among China, Japan and Korea together with the depletion of fish resources by pollution of waters and successive reclamation projects along the east and the south coastal lines has made many problems in coastal communities including the decrease of population, the deepening aging phenomenon in the fishery society and the fall of relative income level compared with those of rural and urban residents. Especially, the income level of a fishing household is 90%. of a rural resident and 70% of a urban resident. The income of a fishing household consists of 55% of fishing income, 20% of a agricultural source, 20% of income from non-fishing areas, and 10% of transferred income. Compared with that of a Japanese fishing household which has more diverse income sources such as 62% of income coming from non-fishing areas through being hired in manufacturing firms, etc., that of Korean ones is highly dependent upon fishery and agriculture, so that the diversification of income sources is urgently needed, especially in non-fishing areas. This paper shows that as a model to upgrade fisherman's income level, firstly, it is necessary to enhance the value-added of fishing products through processing and new innovation of distribution process and, secondly, to promote tourism in fishing villages. To ascertain this model, a questionnaire survey to fishermen was carried out and showed that they expressed a strong support for the increase of income by the value-added process through processing and innovative distribution system and the active introduction of tourism in fishing villages. A case study on Gosan cooperative in Jeju was also introduced to identify the rationale of the suggested model and this study proved the validity of the model again. Conclusively speaking, to level up the fisherman's income requires the value- added activities through the introduction of product processing and new distribution system together with the introduction of marine tourism in fishing villages.

The purpose of the study is to determine the poverty and distributional effects of the implementation of Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Law. The Computable General Equilibrium-Top Down Behavioral Microsimulation was used to obtain the effects of the tax reform on macroeconomic and microeconomic levels. Moreover, the Poverty Gap Index, Squared Poverty Gap Index, Foster, Greer, and Thorbecke Measures of Poverty, and Sen-Shorrocks-Thon Index were used to measure the poverty effect of the tax reform. Meanwhile, the Gini Coefficient and SST Gini Coefficient Index were used to measure the distributional effect of the tax reform. The results show that the implementation of the tax reform has resulted in a significant increase in household income and disposable income. Region IV has the highest estimated increase in household income. Meanwhile, Region IV remained to have the lowest household income. Further, the findings of this study suggest that the tax reform resulted in a significant decrease in the magnitude of poor and the number of poor in the Philippines. However, the result of the study also suggests that the effect of tax reform manifests no differences in terms of the poverty gap measured through the Foster, Greer, and Thorbecke poverty index due.

This paper investigates a link between the significant decline in the growth of domestic demand and the dampened ripple effects from the export sector in Korea since the East Asian financial crisis. The dampened ripple effects are closely linked to the changed investment behaviors of the Korean large-sized exporting firms since the crisis: they do not invest in their export earnings any more to create new industries; they tend to use more foreign value added contents for their exports and to increase outward direct investment by actively participating in global value chains. The paper also examines a link between the growth of domestic demand and the growth of household disposable income and presents reasons for the decline in the growth of household disposable income since the East Asian financial crisis.

Farm households consumption pattern from 1960 to 1968 was analized as follows. First, the influence of the price on the consumption pattern was observed by year for 9 years. Second, the influence of farm households and by size of the consmption pattern was analized by year for whole household and by size of the arable land. Third, the present status and problems of farm families consumption pattern was attempted to be found out compared with the pattern of all families of Seoul. Forth, the pattern of food expenditure which has the largest proportion in the living expenditure was analized. Following results and conclusions are obtained from the above analysis.1. The average nominal increase rate of all farm households has been increased gradually for 9 years, mostly due to the rise in household goods prices paid by farmers. 2. The living expenditure varies with the price and the disposal income, The influence of the latter is greater than that of the former. 3. The Engel's Coefficient of farmers. the average of which was 54.9%, recently tends to decrease gradually. The larger is the size of arable land, the lower is the Coefficient of farm households. But the Coefficient of farm households is higher than that of city families. 4. In general the proportion of food expenditure has a great influence on the consumption pattern, The average percentage of miscellaneous expenditure is 23.9% and it is next to food expenditure. The relationship between them is going reversely. Housing expenditure has usually the constant proportion. But the difference of the proportion between farm households (4.0%) and city families (17.1%) is considerable. Clothing expenditure and fuel and light expenditure have small variations. The former tends to increase with the income, and the latter tends to decrease with it or is constant. 5. Considering the food expenditure pattern, the average percentage (78.4%)of staple food of farm household is remarkably high compared with Seoul (48.3%) and other cities (54.0%). The decrease of the percentage of staple food expenditure in farm households is not so much as cities. 6. The propertion of the staple food expenditure of Farm families don't have so much differences by the size of arable land. But the rice proportion of staple foods has the tendency to increase with the income level. Subsidery food expenditure doesn't increase by year and by size of the land, while the consumption of meat and manufactured foods tends to increase with size of the land. But even big farm households don't reach to the level of cities in consumption of them. 7. Food consumption pattern may be influenced by the factors such as the knowledge of wife about nutrition, customs, consumption habits, and so on. The difference between farm households and city families in food consumption pattern is inferred from the above factors. Presently, the increasing income of the people promote the consumption of all items of living expenditure both in cities and farm households. But the Engel's Coeffcient and the proportion of the staple food expenditure is expected to decrease in farm households more than in cities.

전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 물가(物價)를 안정(安定)시킬 뿐만 아니라 서민생활의 부담을 덜어줌으로써 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에 기여하는 것처럼 이해되고 있으나 과연 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)가 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에 기여하는 것인가. 본(本) 논문(論文)에서는 우리나라 전력요금변화(電力料金變化)의 소득분배효과(所得分配效果) 측면(側面)을 좀 더 구체적으로 검토해 보았다. 전력요금변화(電力料金變化)는 세가지 경로를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 첫째는 전력요금(電力料金) 가격구조(價格構造)를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 우리나라 전력요금구조(電力料金構造)는 가정용(家庭用) 전력요금(電力料金)이 산업용(産業用) 전력요금(電力料金)보다 더 높기 때문에 일반서민계층(一般庶民階層)으로부터 요금(料金)을 징수하여 산업자본가(産業資本家)들을 보조해주는 결과(結果)가 되고 있어 전력요금구조(電力料金構造) 자체(自體)는 소득분배(所得分配)에 역진적(逆進的)이라고 할 수 있다. 둘째는 가계전력(家計電力) 소비지출(消費支出)의 변화(變化)를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향(影響)을 미치게 된다. 가계소득계층별(家計所得階層別) 전력비지출(電力費支出) 비중(比重)은 저소득계층(低所得階層)이 상대적으로 더 큰 것으로 나타나고 있어 동일률(同一率)의 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 저소득계층(低所得階層)에게 상대적으로 많은 절감효과(節減效果)를 유발(誘發)하게 되어 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에 도움이 된다. 그러나 가계소득(家計所得) 중 전력비지출(電力費支出) 비중(比重)이 불과 1~2%에 머물고 있기 때문에 그로 인한 소득분배(所得分配) 개선효과(改善效果)는 아주 미미하다. 셋째는 기업(企業)의 원가절감(原價節減)과 이로 인한 당기순이익(當期純利益) 증가(增加)를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 당기순이익(當期純利益)이 증가(增加)될 때 일차적인 혜택을 보는 계층(階層)은 산업자본가(産業資本家)들이며 이들은 대체로 고소득계층(高所得階層)에 속한다. 따라서 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 고소득(高所得) 산업자본가(産業資本家) 계층(階層)의 소득(所得)을 증대(增大)시키는 측면(側面)에서는 계층간(階層間)의 소득격차(所得隔差)를 심화시키게 된다. 전력요금(電力料金)이 10% 인하(引下)될 경우를 가정하여 소득분배효과(所得分配效果)를 계량적(計量的)으로 분석해 본 결과 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 전력비지출(電力費支出) 절감(節減)을 통하여 저소득계층(低所得階層)의 가처분소득(可處分所得)을 증대(增大)시켜 주는 효과가 있는 것은 사실이다. 그러나 기업(企業)의 당기순이익(當期純利益)을 급격히 증가(增加)시켜 고소득계층(高所得階層)의 소득(所得)을 증대(增大)시켜 주는 결과를 가져오게 됨으로써 전체적으로는 계층간(階層間)의 소득격차(所得隔差)를 오히려 심화시키는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 따라서 국민경제적(國民經濟的) 차원(次元)에서의 소득분배(所得分配)는 별로 개선(改善)되지 못하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 물론 전력요금(電力料金)의 조정에 있어서 소득분배(所得分配) 문제(問題)를 가장 우선적으로 고려하여야 한다는 의미는 아니다. 전력요금조정(電力料金調整)은 물가안정(物價安定), 수출산업(輸出産業) 경쟁력(競爭力) 강화(强化), 에너지소비절약 등 여러가지 국민경제적(國民經濟的) 요소(要素)들을 고려하여 결정(決定)되고 있다. 다만 물가안정(物價安定)이나 수출산업지원(輸出産業支援)을 위하여 전력요금(電力料金)을 인하(引下)하는 경우에도 현행가격체계(現行價格體系)와 소비구조하(消費構造下)에서는 그것이 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에는 전혀 도움을 주지 못하고 오히려 소득분배상태(所得分配狀態)를 악화시키고 있음을 유의할 필요가 있다.

우리나라 도시근로자의 가계소득과 외식비는 함께 증가하고 있으나, 시간이 경과와 더불어 가계소득에 비해 외식비 증가율이 크게 둔화되고 있을 뿐만 아니라 가계소득에서 외식비가 차지하는 비율도 감소하고 있다. 이러한 외식비 지출패턴의 변화는 소득계층에 따라서도 달라 외식비가 가계소득에서 차지하는 비중은 2005년 이후 감소하나 10분위의 외식비 비중이 가장 낮고 1분위의 비중이 가장 높다는 것과, 외식비 비중의 표준편차도 소득계층이 높을수록 작고 소득계층이 낮을수록 크다는 것을 보인다. 외식비모형에 회귀분석을 적용하여 소득계수가 모두 유의하며 소득분위가 높을수록 계수의 크기가 작다는 것과 외환위기는 1분위와 10분위를 제외하고 음의 부호로 유의하다는 것을 밝힌다. 1분위와 2분위에서는 계절에 따른 외식비 변화가 없으며, 소득계층이 높을수록 계절에 따른 외식이 분명해진다는 것도 제시한다. 시간이 흐름에 따른 외식비 패턴의 변화를 살펴보기 위하여 전향적 이동회귀를 실시하여 단순 추정에 따른 것보다 훨씬 빠른 속도로 외식비의 소득탄력성 감소가 이루어지고 있다는 것을 밝힌다. 외식비를 분산분해하여 소득수준이 낮은 계층에서는 소득이 중요한 변수이나 소득수준이 높은 계층에서는 소득 이외의 요인들이 외식비에 많은 영향을 미친다는 것을 보인다.

한국경제의 장기적 발전은 총투자의 지속적 증가와 이를 가능케 해줄 국민저축의 착실한 증가에 크게 의존한다고 보겠다. 이러한 국민저축 중에서도 가계저축은 우리나라의 투자재원 조달에 가장 중요한 역할을 담당할 것으로 기대되고 있다. 본고는 가계저축의 결정요인을 찾아내기 위하여 우리나라 가계소비율의 결정요인을 살펴본 다음에 이를 이용하여 간접적으로 가계저축의 결정요인을 원용하였다. 이와 같이 가계소비율의 추정을 통하여 가계저축율을 추정하고자 한 이유는 일반적으로 소비함수는 안정적인 성향을 가진 반면 저축함수는 불안정적인 성향이 강하기 때문이다. 가계소비율 추정을 위해서는 우리나라의 도시가계조사 및 농가경제 조사자료를 기초자료로 이용하였는 바, 가계소비율에 대한 회귀분석의 결과를 요약하면, 첫째로 가계소득의 증가와 취업가구원수의 증가는 가계소비율을 낮추는 방향으로 작용하고 있는 반면, 둘째로 가구주의 연령, 교육수준, 가구원수의 증가는 가계소비율을 저하시키는 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 2000년대의 우리나라는 소득의 괄목할 만한 증가, 여성의 노동시장 참가율 제고로 인한 취업가구원수의 증가 및 핵가족화의 영향으로 인한 평균 가구원수의 감소로 가계소비율의 저하가 예상되는 반면에, 인구의 노령화에 기인한 가구주의 평균연령의 상승, 교육수준의 향상에 따른 가계소비율의 상승이 예상되지만, 총체적으로는 가계소비율의 감소를 통한 가계 저축율의 착실한 증가가 있을 것으로 예측되므로 한국경제의 장기적 발전을 위한 투자재원의 조달에는 큰 어려움이 없을 것으로 전망된다.

The purpose of this study is ti find out a desirable way to stability and improvement of household economy by studying the changes of consumption level and consumption pattern of urban salary and wage earners' households during the years from 1970 to 1978. For this study, "Annual Report on the Family Income and Expenditure survey" (Published by the Bureau of Statistics, Economics Planning Board) has been used as basic material, and the methods of analysis used here are the time series analysis. We have gained the results as follows: 1) From 1970 to 198, the total income level increased at the rate of 416.2% in nominal price, but only 74.4% in reql price, while the total expenditure level showed 338.5% increase in nominal price, but its real increased proved only 418.2% in consideration of inflation. APC decreased from 95.1%(in 1970) to 80.7%(in 1978). 2) As for the expenditure pattern for the above mentioned nine years, the rate of food expenditure increased until 1975 under the price influence, but it trended to decease there after on . The rate of housing expenditure showed a gradual increase while that of fuel and light expenditure was on the decrease. The rate of clothing expenditure had been on the decease until 1974 but it began to increase gradually thereafter on. The trend of miscellaneous expenditures was irregularly up and down, educational expences being the first rank among them, Non-living expenditure had been constant until 1974 but it decreased a little after that. From the results it was found that the consumption level of the salary and wage earners' household in all cities from 1970 to 1978 was not practically improved because of rise in prices, nor was the Engel's coefficient and the rate of miscellaneous expenditure changed distinctively. However, as the successive decrease of APC suggests the possibility of economic development, we must try to put stress on economy in consumption and on encouraging. This will help run our household economy in safety and stability.

Purpose - Since COVID-19, the government's expansion of liquidity to stimulate the economy has resulted in an increase in private debt and an increase in asset prices of such as real estate and stocks. The recent sharp rise of the US Federal fund rate and tapering by the Fed have led to a fast rise in domestic interest rates, putting a heavy burden on the Korean economy, where the level of household debt is very high. Excessive household debt might have negative effects on the economy, such as shrinking consumption, economic recession, and deepening economic inequality. Therefore, now more than ever, it is necessary to identify the causes of the increase in household debt. Design/methodology/approach - Main methodology is regression analysis. Dependent variable is household loans from depository institutions. Independent variables are consumer price index, unemployment rate, household loan interest rate, housing sales price index, and composite stock price index. The sample periods are from 2017 to May 2022, comprising 72 months of data. The comparative analysis period before and after COVID-19 is from January 2017 to December 2019 for the pre-COVID-19 period, and from Jan 2020 to December 2022 for the post-COVID-19 period. Findings - Looking at the results of the regression analysis for the entire period, it was found that increases in the consumer price index, unemployment rate, and household loan interest rates decrease household loans, while increases in the housing sales price index increase household loans. Research implications or Originality - Household loans of depository institutions are mainly made up of high-credit and high-income borrowers with good repayment ability, so the risk of the financial system is low. As household loans are closely linked to the real estate market, the risk of household loan defaults may increase if real estate prices fall sharply.
