본 연구는 2010~2018년 기간 동안의 16개 시도 지역 패널데이터를 구축하여 내외국인근로자의 고용관계를 추정한다. 산업별(제조업과 건설업), 규모별(5~29인, 5~99인, 5~299인 그리고 5인 이상) 분석을 시도하고 외국인근로자의 내생성을 통제하기 위하여 지역 내 외국인근로자의 출신 국가 점유율(Foreigner's Concentration Index: FCI)을 도구변수로 사용한다. 최종적으로는 외국인근로자의 내생성을 고려하지 않는 패널 GLS와 이를 고려한 도구변수법의 결과를 비교한다. 분석 결과, 패널 GLS 분석에서는 내외국인근로자 사이에 보완관계가 확인되었다. 그러나 도구변수법에서는 내외국인근로자의 고용관계가 통계적으로 유의하지 않았지만, 정(+)에서 부(-)로 바뀌었으며, 제조업과 건설업을 결합한 분석에서는 통계적으로 유의한 대체관계가 나타났다. 본 연구는 내외국인근로자의 고용관계를 추정하는 데 있어서 내생성 통제 여부의 중요성을 확인하고 이를 통제하기 위해 도구변수를 국내 최초로 고안했다는 점에서 높은 평가를 받을 수 있다.

The success of a fuzzy logic control system solving any given problem critically depends on the architecture of th network. Various attempts have been made in optimizing its structure its structure using genetic algorithm automated designs. In a regular genetic algorithm , a difficulty exists which lies in the encoding of the problem by highly fit gene combinations of a fixed-length. This paper presents a new approach to structurally optimized designs of a fuzzy model. We use a messy genetic algorithm, whose main characteristics is the variable length of chromosomes. A messy genetic algorithms used to obtain structurally optimized fuzzy models. Structural optimization is regarded important before neural network based learning is switched into. We have applied the method to the exampled of a cart-pole balancing.

This paper proposes a new algorithm for estimating ARMA model parameters. In estimating ARMA model parameters, several methods such as generalized least square method, instrumental variable method have been developed. Among these methods, the utilization of a bootstrap type algorithm is known as one of the effective approach for the estimation, but there are cases that it does not converge. Hence, in this paper, making use of a cross correlation function and utilizing the relation of structural a priori knowledge, a new bootstrap algorithm is developed. By introducing theoretical relations, it became possible to remove terms, which is liable to include much noise. Therefore, this leads to robust parameter estimation. It is shown by numerical examples that using this algorithm, all simulation cases converge while only half cases succeeded with the previous one. As for the calculation time, judging from the fact that we got converged solutions, our proposed method is said to be superior as a whole.

Dissemination of information can enhance smallholder farmers' agricultural outcomes and incomes in developing countries. However, the impact evaluation for new information can be inaccurate without considering pre-existing information that the indigenous people have used. This study explores qualitative causal links between existing agricultural information used by Lao smallholder farmers on rice yield and selling price with 180 household data. We categorized the pre-existing information into weather, farming technique, input, intermediate trader, and sales price. The source of each piece of information is used as an instrumental variable to overcome the endogeneity issue between information use and agricultural outcomes. Using farming technique information positively affects rice yields by 57.1% compared to those without that information. Moreover, intermediate trader and crop sales information result in 64.5% and 60.0% higher selling prices than non-user groups. A statistically significant causal relationship exists with agricultural outcomes. The more genuine impact should be measured with a newly updated impact evaluation approach that considers this pre-existing agricultural information.

본 연구는 장애가 신체적 손상과 ADL 사이에 개인의 건강문제와 환경의 상호작용이 포함되는 것이라는 세계보건기구(WHO)의 장애개념 정의에 따라 뇌성마비를 가진 성인들을 대상으로 이들의 신체적 손상이 실제적인 장애로 발현되는 경로를 분석한 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 신체적 통증과 도구적 지지를 각각 일상생활활동(ADL)의 매개변인으로 개념화하고 이를 분석에 포함시켰다. 총 381명을 대상으로 분석한 결과 마비부위가 일상생활활동(ADL)에 직접적인 영향을 미쳤을 뿐 성별, 연령, 뇌성마비유형 등은 직접 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그러나 신체적 통증문제가 매개될 경우 연령, 뇌성마비유형, 마비부위 모두가 통증문제에 영향을 미침은 물론이고 일상생활활동(ADL)에 간접적인 영향까지 미치게 됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이 과정에서 도구적 지지의 정도가 통증문제와 일상생활활동(ADL) 모두에 직, 간접적 영향을 미치고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 개인의 손상이 곧바로 활동제약에 영향을 미치는 것이 아니라 개인적, 사회적 요인의 상호작용이 영향요인임을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 이러한 분석결과를 통해 사회복지실천분야에서 이 매개요인을 고려한 새로운 접근이 시도되어야 함을 확인하였다.

This study investigates the impact of the use of the main local languages in Burkina Faso (Moore, Dioula, Fulfulde) on labor force participation. Using Ethnologue language data, I compute the relative language distance reduction index, after which I use a probit/logit model and instrumental variable approach to account for language use policy endogeneity. This study finds that the use of the Moore language increases the likelihood of labor force participation by 36 percent, with a strong impact on women at 59 percent, nine times higher than men, and 38.3 percent for rural individuals, five times higher than individuals living in urban areas. The Dioula language exhibits comparable trends, while Fulfulde has a negative impact on individuals. The study recommends the use of local language(s) as official language(s) to improve labor force participation. However, a bilingual approach combining local and international language(s) will be of use to account for globalization and international competitiveness. The findings here may be of use to researchers and policymakers as part of their effort to increase the labor force participation rates of women and rural individuals. Moreover, this research has significant implications with regard to the implementation of language use policies in a variety of postcolonial language contexts.

Purpose - Since the 2020s, the management philosophy of Chinese firms' ESG has been rapidly established under the leadership of the Chinese government. We empirically analyze the ESG characteristics and effects on corporate value of Chinese firms. Design/methodology/approach - Using OLS and random effect panel regression analysis, we identify ESG determinants. In analyzing the impact on corporate value, likewise a large number of literatures, we adopt a 2SLS methodology using instrumental variables in the reason of endogeneity between ESG and firm value. We analyze using the G2SLS methodology, which is improving the efficiency of the estimation coefficients along with 2SLS. Findings - We find that ESG ratings are high in state-owned and foreign capital invested companies, ESG ratings are low in companies with a high proportion of non-floating stocks which implies information asymmetry. However, there are no significance in the institutional investor's, the major 10 largest shareholders' and manager's ownership. Furthermore, we can support most of the hypotheses that ESG ratings will be high in companies with high management performance. ESG ratings are significantly higher in companies with high ROA, rich in cash asset, low debt ratio, and large size. we strongly support the hypothesis that the higher the ESG rating, the higher the firm value, and ESG has a moderating effect on state-owned companies, non-floating shares, the ownership of institutional investors, manager, and the 10 major shareholder. In particular, state-owned companies, the proportion of non-floating shares, and the ownership of the 10 major shareholders have a negative impact on firm value, however, ESG attenuates this negative effect. Research implications or Originality - This study looks forward to enhancing our understanding of ESG characteristics in East Asia.

The mode analysis of end-milling was introduced using recursive parametric modeling. Also, a numerical mode analysis of FRF in end-milling at different conditions was performed systematically. In this regard, a REIVM(recursive extended instrumental variable method) modeling algorithm was adopted and natural modes of real and imaginary part were discussed. This recursive approach can be used for the on-line system identification and monitoring of an end-milling for this purpose. For acquiring a cutting force, an experimental practice was performed. And these end-milling forces were used for the calculation of FRF(Frequency response function) and its mode analysis. Also, the FRF was analysed for the prediction of end-milling system. As a results, this algorithm was successful in each condition for the detection of natural modes of end-milling. After numerical analysis of the FRF, the tooth passing frequency was discriminated in their FRF, power spectrum and mode calculation.

Purpose - This research aims to provide empirical evidence that highlights the importance of imported intermediate goods in long-term economic growth. To this end, this paper develops an index that measures the productivity gains associated with a country's intermediate goods imports using highly disaggregated trade data. Design/methodology - The basic hypothesis is that countries sourcing higher-productivity (or higher-quality) inputs from developed economies derive a larger benefit from foreign R&D. To explore this hypothesis, standard cross-country growth regressions are performed using the highly disaggregated data from the United Nations (UN) Commodity Trade Statistics Database (COMTRADE). To address the endogeneity issue, I apply an instrumental variable (IV) approach. Findings - The results of this study demonstrate that the index predicts subsequent economic growth in middle- and low-income countries. This finding is consistent with previous studies that have argued that developing countries can achieve substantial productivity gains by importing intermediate inputs from developed countries. By contrast, there is no evidence of a significant association between the index and economic growth in high-income countries. Originality/value - This paper contributes to our understanding of the causal relationship between international trade and economic growth. From an economic policy perspective, the results suggest that developing countries with limited technology endowment can boost growth from input-tariff liberalization.

Purpose - This study aims to examine the relationship between high-performance work systems and organizational ambidexterity. Additionally, it seeks to verify the mediating effect of organizational cultural diversity on this relationship. Design/methodology/approach - The study tested four hypotheses using data from manufacturing companies with more than 100 regular workers, sourced from the Human Capital Corporate Panel (HCCP). For empirical analysis, the generalized least squares (GLS) estimation method was employed, and the hypotheses were verified using a probabilistic effects model. Findings - The study revealed that high-performance work systems improve organizational ambidexterity by enhancing organizational cultural diversity. Research implications or Originality - This study confirms the mediating effect of organizational cultural diversity between high-performance work systems and organizational ambidexterity, explaining how high-performance work systems influence organizational ambidexterity through organizational cultural diversity. Additionally, it identifies an organizational cultural variable that closely aligns with the academic concept of organizational ambidexterity. The study demonstrates that the core elements of high-performance work systems are instrumental in cultivating an organization that simultaneously pursues seemingly competitive heterogeneous values.
