Environmental concern has been an important issue for a few decades, and the extent of consumer demand for eco-friendly consumption has been increased. This study seeks to investigate consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) a premium for eco-friendly cosmetics. This study evaluates how much more a consumer is willing to pay for eco-friendly cosmetics and examines significant factors influencing consumers' WTP for eco-friendly cosmetics. Consumers' WTP is measured using four different ecofriendly cosmetics: low-priced skin care cosmetics, low-priced makeup cosmetics, high-priced skin care cosmetics, and high-priced makeup cosmetics. This study uses the contingent valuation method (CVM) to estimate consumer's WTP for eco-friendly cosmetics. Survey questions were designed using both dichotomous choice and payment card method of CVM. Through face to face interviews and on-line surveys, the data were collected from women between 20 and 49 years old residing in Seoul and Kyeonggi area, Korea, in May 2010. A total of 226 questionnaires (132 from interviews and 94 from on-line) were included for the analytical sample in this study. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, T-test and Log-Logit analysis. The findings are as follows: First, the WTP measured by dichotomous choice method was estimated using the Log-Logit analysis. The results showed that the estimated WTP for low-priced skin care cosmetics was 19,152 won, which was 27.7% higher than the reference price, 15,000 won. For low-priced makeup cosmetics, the estimated WTP was 18,524 won, and its green premium was 21.0%. The estimated WTP for high-priced skin care cosmetics was 59,128 won, which was 18.3% higher than the reference price, 50,000 won. For high-priced makeup cosmetics was 57,666 won, and its green premium was 15.3%. Second, the WTP measure by payment card method was estimated using descriptive analysis. The results showed that the respondents were willing to pay 17,955 won for low-priced skin care cosmetics, which was 19.7% higher than the reference price, 15,000 won and 17,595 won for low-priced makeup cosmetics, which was 17.3% higher than the reference price. For high-priced skin care cosmetics, the average WTP was 56,950 won which was 13.9% higher than the reference price, 50,000 won. For high-priced makeup cosmetics, the average WTP was 55,650 won, which was 11.3% higher than the reference price. Overall, the WTP was higher in order of low-priced skin care, low-priced makeup, high-priced skin care, and high-priced makeup. It means that consumers decide degree of premium based on the price and the attributes of eco-friendly products. Third, the findings showed that age, monthly income, and having children or not were statistically significant factors that influenced consumers' willingness to pay for eco-friendly cosmetics. Other explanatory variables such as education, marital status, job, purchase experience of eco-friendly products, and environmental concerns did not show any statistical significance. The major contribution of this study is the investigation of the value of green attributes of the products by using CVM. Unlike most previous researches, this research used two methods of CVM, the dichotomous choice and the payment card, so it enhanced the reliability of research. According to this study, consumers showed price sensitivity when they pay green premium. These findings can be used as useful information to establish marketing strategies for green cosmetics.

기존 연구에서는 프리미엄 가격과 시장 점유율이라는 브랜드 시장성과 정보가 브랜드 자산의 구성요소인 품질지각이나 선호도에 차별적인 영향을 줄 수 있음을 보여주었다. 특히 이러한 브랜드 시장성과 정보 유형에 따른 차별적 효과는 제품 이미지의 유형과 제품군 내 품질편차 정도와 같은 제품 특성 변수들에 따라 달라질 수 있음을 보여주었다. 본 연구에서는 브랜드 시장성과 정보가 브랜드 평가에 미치는 차별적 영향에 있어 기존 연구가 제시한 제품특성 변수의 조절적 효과 이외에 개인특성 변수의 조절적 효과를 살펴보았다. 즉, 개인특성 변수인 자기관, 가격 인식, 브랜드 몰입의 유형에 따라 브랜드 시장성과 정보 유형에 따른 효과가 어떻게 달라질 수 있는가를 알아보았다. 실험결과, 브랜드 시장성과 정보 중 프리미엄 가격 정보에 대해서는 독립적인 자기관 및 긍정적 가격 인식을 가지고 있으며, 브랜드에 대해 정서적 몰입을 하는 소비자들이 더욱 긍정적인 평가를 하였다. 그러나 시장 점유율 정보에 대해서는 상호의존적인 자기관 및 부정적 가격 인식을 가지고 있으며, 브랜드에 대한 계산적 몰입을 하는 소비자들이 더욱 긍정적인 평가를 하였다. 마지막으로, 본 연구결과의 이론적 및 실무적 시사점, 그리고 본 연구의 한계점 및 향후 연구방향에 대해서 논의하였다.

This study addresses the question as to whether the option prices have useful predictive information on the direction of stock markets by investigating a forecasting power of volatility curvatures and skewness premiums implicit in S&P 500 index option prices traded in Chicago Board Options Exchange. We begin by estimating implied volatility functions and risk neutral price densities every minute based on non-parametric method and then calculate volatility curvature and skewness premium using them. The rationale is that high volatility curvature or high skewness premium often leads to strong bullish sentiment among market participants. We found that the rate of return on the signal following trading strategy was significantly higher than that on the intraday buy-and-hold strategy, which indicates that the S&P500 index option prices have a strong forecasting power on the direction of stock index market. Another major finding is that the information contents of S&P 500 index option prices disappear within one minute, and so one minute-delayed signal following trading strategy would not lead to any excess return compared to a simple buy-and-hold strategy.
