The United Nations (UN) has tried to make international agreement to restrict artificial greenhouse gas emissions and the UN has concluded the UN Framework Convention Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto protocol. Moreover, in 2012, the European Union announced that they will enforce the Directive 2008/101/EC. Therefore, after 2012, aircraft carriers that depart or arrive from EU will follow that regulation. For these reasons, Korea should prepare systematic and effective policy to reduce greenhouse gas emission from aviation activities. The purpose of this study is to find out effective measures to reduce greenhouse gas emission from aviation activities through research by countries all over the world. Here are the 4 measures to reduce greenhouse gas emission from Aviation activities that were found through research UK and Japan's policies. First, Korea should implement aggressive incentive policies. Providing proper incentive can attract voluntary participation of aircraft carriers to reduce greenhouse gas emission. Second, the government should adopt environmental tax on use of fossil fuels. Third, Korea should adopt the greenhouse gas Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Lastly, the Korea government should pull in with the international community to establish world-wide environmental policies.

Uncoordinated charging of large-scale electric vehicles (EVs) will have a negative impact on the secure and economic operation of the power system, especially at the distribution level. Given that the charging load of EVs can be controlled to some extent, research on the optimal charging control of EVs has been extensively carried out. In this paper, two possible smart charging scenarios in China are studied: centralized optimal charging operated by an aggregator and decentralized optimal charging managed by individual users. Under the assumption that the aggregators and individual users only concern the economic benefits, new load peaks will arise under time of use (TOU) pricing which is extensively employed in China. To solve this problem, a simple incentive mechanism is proposed for centralized optimal charging while a rolling-update pricing scheme is devised for decentralized optimal charging. The original optimal charging models are modified to account for the developed schemes. Simulated tests corroborate the efficacy of optimal scheduling for charging EVs in various scenarios.

Purpose - This study analyzes the effect of sellers' dishonesty on various market outcomes such as seller profit, buyer profit, and market welfare, through precisely measuring the level of sellers' information disclosure and its economic impacts. As an explicit observation of sellers' dishonesty is not easy in most other settings, this study is expected to suggest unique and meaningful implications on the effect of sellers' incomplete information disclosure to researchers, managers, and policy makers. Design/methodology/approach - In order to precisely measure the level of sellers' dishonesty under information asymmetry, this study analyzes the data from an incentive-based economic experiment using z-Tree software. This experimental method enables us to focus on the strategic interactions among participants, observe the integrity of seller's information disclosure, and reproduce real market situations. Findings - The analysis of sellers' dishonesty has provided the following important and counterintuitive findings about the reality of buyer-seller interactions under information asymmetry. First, sellers' lies do not affect seller profit even when they are very intensive. Second, sellers' dishonesty negatively affects buyer profit and the entire market welfare. Third, a seller's quality claim has a positive effect on the seller profit only when a seller is being honest. Research implications or Originality - This study analyzes sellers' dishonesty using incentive-based economic experiment using z-Tree software which provides a straightforward examination on dishonest behavior of sellers, that is not readily available with other types of observational or experimental data.

In opportunistic network, the behavior of a node is autonomous and has social attributes such as selfishness.If a node wants to forward information to another node, it is bound to be limited by the node's own resources such as cache, power, and energy.Therefore, in the process of communication, some nodes do not help to forward information of other nodes because of their selfish behavior. This will lead to the inability to complete cooperation, greatly reduce the success rate of message transmission, increase network delay, and affect the overall network performance. This article proposes a hybrid incentive mechanism (Mim) based on the Reputation mechanism and the Credit mechanism.The selfishness model, energy model (The energy in the article exists in the form of electricity) and transaction model constitute our Mim mechanism. The Mim classifies the selfishness of nodes and constantly pay attention to changes in node energy, and manage the wealth of both sides of the node by introducing the Central Money Management Center. By calculating the selfishness of the node, the currency trading model is used to differentiate pricing of the node's services. Simulation results show that by using the Mim, the information delivery rate in the network and the fairness of node transactions are improved. At the same time, it also greatly increases the average life of the network.

The purpose of this study is to suggest public roles and responsibilities about Architecture Heritage under Act on Value Enhancement of Hanok and Other Architecture Asset by analyzing the Architecture Heritage System of Spain. The case study on Spain, Catalonia, Barcelona's Act of architectural heritage was conducted to analyze the laws and guidelines related to Architectural Heritage and to confirm the perspective on Architectural Heritage and roles by subjects through interviews with the department in charge. The role of the central governments is to the responsibility of preservation that can be offset by create incentives and expand programs to create consensus among citizens. The architecture asset survey, which is the responsibility of the municipal governments, should increase confidence by the detailed survey to define the authority and role of the basic local government. And the municipal governments must increase the architectural heritage more support and incentive. Excellence architectural assets must diversify the range of incentive and preservation, and ask for registration that various subjects can apply it by expanding category of application to public sector, non-governmental organization, citizens rather than an owner.

Background: Incentive and penalty (I/P) programs are commonly used to increase employees' safety outcomes, but its influence on employees' safety outcomes is under-investigated. Moreover, under developed economies lack safety culture and there is dearth of literature focusing on empirical studies over there [1]. Based on these gaps, this study attempts to see the impact of I/P programs on safety outcomes in a developing country. Methods: The study was carried out in three stages, where Stage I revealed that selected 45 organizations were deficit of safety culture and practices, while only three firms were found good at safety practices. At Stage II, these three firms were divided in two clusters (groups), and were probed further at Stage III. At this stage group, one was manipulated by providing incentives (experimental group) and employees' responses in terms of safety motivation and performance were noticed. Results: It was observed that the experimental group's safety motivation and performance had improved (both for immediate and 1-month later performance). The results were further probed at Phase 3 (after 3 months), where it was found that the benefits of I/P programs were not long lasting and started replenishing. Conclusion: Findings of the study helped researchers conclude that safety incentives have only short-term influence on safety outcomes, while a long-term and permanent solution should be found.

Purposes: This study purposed to evaluate the effect of a value incentive program(VIP) on the in-hospital mortality of acute stroke. Methodology: Study period was from January 2010 to December 2018. This study included 63 hospitals for acute hemorrhagic stroke that the mortality rate per month was more than one during study period. Independent variables were time variables and hospital characteristics such as hospital type, district and bed number. Interrupted time series analysis was applied to analyze the data. Findings: In case of general hospitals, the in-hospital mortality rate per month for acute hemorrhagic stroke tends to be increased by 0.03% in overall study periods but decreased by 0.32% after the implementation of the policy. On the other hand, tertiary hospital changes are not statistically meaningful. Conclusion: This study provides evidences how the VIP was effective in improving quality of acute hemorrhagic stroke care. General hospitals showed higher policy effect compare to that of tertiary hospitals.

Demand response (DR) refers to the customers' active reaction with respect to the changes of market pricing or incentive policies. DR plays an important role in improving network reliability, minimizing operational cost and increasing end users' benefits. Hence, the integration of DR in the microgrid (MG) management is gaining increasing popularity nowadays. This paper proposes a day-ahead MG scheduling framework in conjunction with DR and investigates the impact of DR in optimizing load profile and reducing overall power generation costs. A linear responsive model considering time of use (TOU) price and incentive is developed to model the active reaction of customers' consumption behaviors. Thereafter, a novel multi-swarm sine cosine algorithm (MSCA) is proposed to optimize the total power generation costs in the framework. In the proposed MSCA, several sub-swarms search for better solutions simultaneously which is beneficial for improving the population diversity. A cooperative learning scheme is developed to realize knowledge dissemination in the population and a competitive substitution strategy is proposed to prevent local optima stagnation. The simulation results obtained by the proposed MSCA are compared with other meta-heuristic algorithms to show its effectiveness in reducing overall generation costs. The outcomes with and without DR suggest that the DR program can effectively reduce the total generation costs and improve the stability of the MG network.

본 연구는 최근 두 차례에 걸친 국내 온실가스 배출권 모의거래의 결과를 분석하여 그 정책적 시사점을 도출하였다. 1차 모의거래는 5개 전력사를 대상으로 baseline and credit를 기준으로 실시하였고, 2차 모의거래는 1개 전력회사를 포함 여타 에너지집약 업종의 7개 기업을 대상으로 cap and trade 방식을 택했다. 물론 모의거래 시행을 위한 여러 가정들이 채택되었으나 기본적으로 자발적인 참여를 바탕으로 각 사에 경매를 통해 인센티브를 지급하고 온라인 시스템을 활용하여 거래하는 방식을 택하였다. 본 모의거래에서 특징적인 결과를 보면 거래시장의 불안정성을 들 수 있다. 즉, 거래가격의 변화가 크고 거래시장이 수요자 중심이거나 아니면 공급자 중심으로 나타났다. 이는 본 모의거래가 자발적이고 비구속적인 상태에서 운영이 되고, 각 참여사에 돌아가는 인센티브 규모가 과도하고, 참여자간의 정보가 비대칭적이며, 참여자의 무책임한 전략적 행위, 그리고 참여자의 시스템 운영 미숙으로 인한 것이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 향후 우리나라가 도입하게 될 국내배출권거래제의 기본디자인과 이를 단계적으로 도입하는 방안, 그리고 인센티브 경매방식, 인센티브 총액, 재원조달 방안 등을 언급하고 있다. 이에 대한 더 많은 후속연구가 필요하며 특히 산업계의 적응능력 향상과 더 바람직한 제도도입을 위해서 앞으로도 계속하여 모의거래를 실시 할 것을 건의하고 있다.

기술정책은 기술획득을 위한 민간투자가 적정수준 이하로 과소투자되는 성향을 보전하는 중요한 정책수단이다. 그러나 기술정책과 관련된 정부정책에 대한 정량적 평가는 아직도 초보적 수준에 머물러 있다. 본 연구는 과제수준에서 기술개발지원제도의 성과를 계량경제학적 모형(Probit)을 이용하여 분석하고 있다. 정부의 지원, 민간부문의 대응 투자(현금과 현물), 기술개발과제 수행형태, 수행주체간의 역할 등이 기술적 성과에 미치는 영향을 가설을 검증하는 형태로 살펴보았다. 총투자규모 보다는 투자의 구성 및 내용이 중요하고, 기업의 대응투자, 특히 현금투자의 정도가 기술적 성과에 크게 영향을 미치며, 기업의 현금투자와 현물투자는 대체재 관계라는 정책적 시사점이 높은 결과들이 도출되었다. 이러한 결과들은 향후 추가적인 연구와 더불어 새로운 국가기술 개발지원제도의 기획은 물론 그 효율성 평가에도 많은 도움과 함께 시사점을 줄 것으로 기대된다.
