The wonderful new world of shopping - being able to order items you need by just one click. However, there is one factor that has not changed at all - customers, whether they are private individuals or public companies, want to have the product delivered to their address, and usually as fast as possible too. To achieve this, the operators of virtual shops must make use of a fully operational and efficient delivery service. The internet and its potential for creating a virtual market for millions of buyers and sellers, has generated a lot of excitement in the express delivery industry. Clearly e-commerce will cause greater growth in the business-to-residential package market. Korean express delivery industry is not an exception to this trend. Currently, while major three service providers enjoy a lion's share in Korea, a lot of small and medium companies are struggling to capture more shipments in express parcel market. Nevertheless, it will be forecasted that Korean parcel market will be consolidated and become an oligopoly market in the near future.

This study analyzes the degree of competition in the oil refinery market in Korea, which is considered an oligopoly market. The price of gasoline and diesel and the quantity of supply are used to identify the market competition. We also analyze whether the oil tax reduction policy has affected market competition. The competitiveness of the market was examined using monthly data from 2008 to 2019. Bresnahan-Lau method was employed to estimate the degree of competition in the oil refinery market, which is frequently used in the industrial studies. The analysis shows that the gasoline and diesel markets seem close to a perfect competitive market. Also, the tax cut has weakened market competition. In other words, the monopolistic power has increased in the market, so consumers have not benefit from the price cuts as much as tax cuts. Although the oil refinery market where four major companies are competing, the government's monitoring and price disclosure system help the market to be highly competitive as much as a perfect competition market. The tax cut, in the high oil price era, has a negative effect on the competition because of an information asymmetry about the price-setting process between suppliers and consumers.

At present Cournot model is one of the most commonly used theories to analyze the gaming situation in oligopoly market. But there exist several problems to apply this model to electricity market. The representative one is to obtain the inverse demand curve able to be induced from the relationship between market price and demand response. In Cournot model, each player offers their generation quantity to accomplish maximum profit, which is accomplished by reducing their quantity compared with available total capacity. As stated above, to obtain the probable Cournot equilibrium to reflect real market situation, we have to induce the correct demand function first of all. Usually the correlation between price and demand appears on the long-term basis through the statistical data analysis (for example, regression analysis) or by investigating consumer utility functions of several consumer groups classified as residential, industrial, and commercial. However, the elasticity has a tendency to change continuously according to the total market demand size or the level of market price. Therefore it should be updated as trading period passes by. In this paper we propose a method for inducing and updating this price elasticity of demand function for more realistic market equilibrium.

Purpose - Market structure is crucial to identify as it defines the market states for new and existing container ports to perform within a given region. the study aims to compare the major ports in the Bay of Bengal in the context of Chittagong Port. Design/methodology/approach - For this study, the past 9 years of container volume data have been collected and analyzed through the HHI index, BCG matrix and shift effect analysis. Based on the analysis, this study has found that the Chittagong Port is in an oligopoly competitive market structure. Findings - The findings have shown that port in low market share and low growth in very recent years with the moderately concentrated ports HHI index. The shift effect analysis shows that the container volumes shifted from one port to another in the 2019 and 2020 periods. This study is the pioneer study in the Bay of Bengal region to identify the market structure, analyze market share and growth, and analyze the market concentration. Research implications or Originality - Future recommendations for the port authority is to take advantage of geolocation; attract international; tax exemption, faster clearance process, reduced waiting charges; increasing storage and technological machinery; promoting maritime logistics education; promoting Chittagong tourism; collaboration with other countries. Also, this study can be used as basic data for the establishment of a new supply chain between Korea and Southwest Asia for the Korean government and companies.

온라인 게임은 최근 십년간 IT 기술의 발전에 힘입어 국내는 물론 해외에서도 눈부신 발전을 거듭하고 있다. 그런데 최근 대작 게임인 아이온이 나오기 전까지 수년간 MMORPG의 상위 순위가 변동되지 않고 과점상태를 유지했었다. NHNgames는 그 기간에 성공적으로 시장에 진입하여 좋은 성과를 내고 주요한 플레이어로 자리매김에 성공했다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구는 MMORPG 시장에 성공적으로 진입한 NHNgames의 사례를 Kalyanaram과 Gurumurthy의 기본전략 프레임을 통하여 성공적인 시장 진입 전략의 요소를 정리하고 분석하였다. 이 논의는 이후에도 끊임없이 반복될 온라인 게임 시장 진입의 문제에 함의를 제공하여 산업의 발전을 도모하는 데 기여할 수 있으리라 기대된다.

본 연구는 글로벌 컨테이너 해운시장의 경쟁구조 변화를 살펴보고 세가지 관점에서 우리나라 컨테이너선대 규모를 분석하였다. 경쟁구조 변화 분석에서는 시장집중도 비율과 허쉬만-허핀달 지수를 분석하였으며 선대 규모 분석에서는 첫째 얼라이언스 내 경쟁력 확보 규모, 둘째 국내 수출입 컨테이너 화물의 국적선 적취율 제고를 위한 선대규모, 셋째 주요 해운국의 특성을 고려한 패널모형을 통한 선대규모 분석 세가지 측면에서 검토하였다. 분석결과, 글로벌 컨테이너 해운시장이 과점화 되고 있는 것으로 나타났으며 현재 한국의 컨테이너 선대 규모는 세가지 분석 모두에서 부족한 것으로 분석되었다.

21세기에 들어서면서 선진국은 민간경비산업의 전문화를 위해 자격제도 및 교육훈련을 강화하고 있는 추세이다. 우리나라도 전문성 강화를 위한 교육훈련 시스템의 변화를 시도하고 있으나 합리적이지 못한 선발기준과 교육시스템 운영으로 과점시장이 형성되어 있는 실정이다. 오히려 '직업면허제도'를 통하여 자격증 소지자나 경비업체, 교육기관 및 위탁자의 지대추구행위가 증가하고 있는 상태이다. 경비산업 종사자의 질적 향상을 목적으로 자격증 발급 및 지정교육기관을 통한 기본교육이 실시되고 있으나 실질적인 효과는 적은편이다. 이에 본 연구는 민간경비원 선발 및 교육에 관한 문제점을 찾아본 결과, 이원화된 검정제도와 교육시스템의 구조적 문제 그리고 경비업체 운영자 및 최고관리자(임원)의 전문성과 운영능력에 대한 검증이 전혀 이루어지지 않고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 이원화 되어있는 경비지도사 자격증 제도와 경비원 교육 이수 제도를 '공인자격검증제도'로 단일화하며, 그 자격검정 대상은 관련 종사자 전체로 확대하여야 할 것이다. 또한 시장 지배적 지위를 이용한 과점현상으로 발생되는 후생손실을 최소화하고 자율경쟁이 가능하도록 지정교육기관의 수를 늘리고 경비원들의 교육 및 취업(업체) 선택에 자율권을 부여하여야 할 것이다. 앞서 제시한 문제점들을 최소화 하고 객관성을 유지하기 위해서는 전문가 집단부터 이해관계자, 시민단체 까지 모두 참여하는 거버넌스 네트워크 형태의 '민간보안산업위원회'와 같은 새로운 관리 감독 기관 설립이 필요하다.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to analyze the market power of the Korea Container Shipping Market (Intra Asia, Korea-Europe, and Korea-U.S.) to verify the existence of collusion empirically, and to answer whether the joint actions of liner market participants in Korea have formed market dominance for each route. Precisely, it will be verified through the Lerner index as to whether the regional market of Asia is a monopoly, oligopoly, or perfect competition. Design/methodology - This study used a Lerner index adjusted with elasticity presented in the New Imperial Organization (NEIO) studies. NEIO refers to a series of empirical studies that estimate parameters to judge market power from industrial data. This study uses B-L empirical models by Bresnahan (1982) and Lau (1982). In addition, NEIO research data statistically contain self-regression and stability problems as price and time series data. A dynamic model following Steen and Salvanes' Error Correction Model was used to solve this problem. Findings - The empirical results are as follows. First, λ, representing market power, is nearly zero in all three markets. Second, the Korean shipping market shows low demand elasticity on average. Nevertheless, the markup is low, a characteristic that is difficult to see in other industries. Third, the Korean shipping market generally remains close to perfect competition from 2014 to 2022, but extreme market power appears in a specific period, such as COVID-19. Fourth, there was no market power in the Intra Asia market from 2008 to 2014. Originality/value - Doubts about perfect competition in the liner market continued, but there were few empirical cases. This paper confirmed that the Korea liner market is a perfect competition market. This paper is the first to implement dynamics using ECM and recursive regression to demonstrate market power in the Korean liner market by dividing the shipping market into Deep Sea and Intra Asia separately. It is also the first to prove the most controversial problems in the current shipping industry numerically and academically.
