This paper presents a review of dairy goat production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) from 2010- 2017, its current state, constraints and prospects for research and development. Since the introduction of dairy goats in SSA in pre-colonial times, their populations have continued to increase due to declining land size as a result of land fragmentation and increasing demand for goat milk. The current goat population in SSA is 372,716,040 head of which only 15.98% used for milk production. Populations in the Eastern and Western regions of SSA have shown an increasing trend from 2010 to 2017. The Southern Africa goat population is on the decline at an annual rate of about 1.77% whereas Central Africa has had a constant goat population within the same period. Eastern Africa reported the highest increase in the population of goats used for milk production. Milk production was highest in Eastern Africa and lowest in Southern Africa. However, dairy goat productivity remained constant in the Eastern region throughout the review period. Dairy goats are mainly raised under smallholder mixed crop-livestock systems. To enhance the development of the dairy goat, concerted efforts should be made to alleviate the constraints that stifle its growth. These constraints can be categorized into nutrition and feeding, breeding and reproduction, diseases, parasites, climate change, and underdeveloped dairy goat products market. Effective management of dairy goats requires a holistic approach and there is the need to expand the markets by further sensitization on the nutritional and medicinal advantages of dairy goat products. In order to achieve rapid development in the dairy goat sub sector, research and development initiatives should be directed towards alleviating the hurdles in nutrition and feeding, breeding, animal health and resilience as well as dairy goat markets.

전북연안의 어업자원 생산량의 경년변화를 알아보기 위하여 시험조업과 어업생산량을 조사 분석하였다. 2002년도의 시험조업에 의해 어획된 어업생물의 종수는 23종 이었고 총개체수는 6,008개체, 총중량은 376.38kg 이었다. 2004년도에는 종수는 15종, 총개체수는 2,469개체, 총중량은 211.99kg으로 나타났다. 1990년부터 2007년사이의 전국해면어업 생산량은 약 140만톤에서 180만톤으로 비교적 안정된 모습을 보인 반면 전라북도는 1990년도에 133,997톤이던 생산량이 2007년도에는 44,695톤으로 67%가 감소되었다. 전라북도와 인접한 충청남도의 어업생산량은 전라북도와는 달리 1990년에 51,187톤이었던 생산량이 최근에는 85,637톤으로 증가 되었다. 경기도의 어업생산량은 1990년에 42,260톤이 2007년에는 6,770톤으로 무려 84%가 감소되었다. 이러한 결과를 초래한 원인은 여러 가지 들 수 있겠지만 가장 큰 원인은 각종 개발사업으로 인한 어장축소와 해양오염으로 인한 어업자원 감소를 들 수 있다. 같은 서해안에서도 개발이 비교적 더디게 진행되고 있는 충청남도는 어업생산량이 증가하고 있음이 이를 중명한다고 할 수 있다.

This research examines the spatial development of rural industrial estates (Nong-gong Jigu) in Chonbuk province and gives insight into the strategies for economic development in the entire region. Selected location factors which are likely to pull new investment into the estates are examined by using questionnaires. Few loction factors except nonlocal factors can be found in explaining why location choices are made. The irrelevance of the analysis based on location factors suggests that an alternative approach should analyze changes in the spatial development of the rural industrial estates. Such an alternative is to understand the dynamics of the spatial organization of production by focusing on characteistics of plant closing in the rural industrial estates. To take into account of the characteristics of plant closing we provide the hypothesized relationships between employment size, organizational structure, inter and intra industrial linkage, characteristics of production processes, and availability of local labor market and the likelihood of closing. A logit model is then made to identify the selected factors which might influence the probability of plant closing. The results from the logit analysis and their implications suggest that the policy should be more concerned with the characteristics of firms, such as size and ownership, as well as of the local labor markets. Given that the Chonbuk region has experienced rapid population decline, together with its poor industrial base, it seems that the success of the policy in the declined rural areas in less certain.

This study introduced the inclusion of Global Value Chain (GVC) as a strategy for the globalization of domestic industries. In addition, this study intended to highlight direct foreign investment as an important opportunity for enhancing the competitiveness of the domestic small and medium firms. That is, globalization could be realized not only through simple capital inflow, but also through domestic industry's participation in the overseas production network. The analysis of the trend and pattern of direct foreign investment revealed that the FDI inflows heavily dependent on the USA and Japan have been diversified steadily over time. In spite of recent decline trend of overall FDI amount, inflows from European countries in machinery and chemical industries have been rising. These rising and diversifying trends in these industries are promising since FDI inflows have the potential of playing an important role in achieving productivity growth of domestic industries, particularly in the area of comparatively fragile industries such as machinery and chemicals. In the same logic, it is crucial for future growth of Korea that the small and medium firms find their competitive edges through strengthening production networks with foreign multi-national companies. Thus, it is suggested that the policy of globalization of small and medium firms should be based on the firm understanding of GVC and FDI pattern of industries.

This study is aimed to analyze investment effects of fisheries R&D projects of the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute(NFRDI). In the analysis, Granger causal relations between R&D investment and fisheries production are tested. In addition, time-lag effects of fisheries R&D investment are estimated with an impulse response analysis and investment effects of R&D projects are estimated by changes of social surplus. Results indicate that there exists an Granger-causality between R&D investment and fisheries production and fisheries production responds to the fisheries R&D shock about three years after the initial shock. The magnitudes of the impacts increase until a peak is reached 5~7 years and the impacts decline to zero after 25 years. As investment effects, it is shown that the internal rate of returns of fisheries R&D investment is 55.2%.

The development of sail gas has increased the production of ethane as well as natural gas. The decline in the market price for ethane has led to a change in the petroleum-based ethylene production process into an ethane-based ethylene production process and an increase in the ethane/ethylene trade volume. Large-scale ethane/ethylene carrier have been needed due to an increase in long-distance trade from the US, and cargo type change have leaded to consider a liquefaction process to re-liquefy Boil-Off gas generated during the voyage. In this paper, the liquefaction system of Liquefied Ethane Gas carrier was evaluated with Low-GWP (Low-Global Warming Potential) refrigerant and process parameters, Boil-Off Gas pressure and expansion valve outlet pressure, were optimized. Low-GWP refrigerants were propane (R290), propylene(R1270), carbon dioxide(R744) was considered at two type of liquefaction process such as Linde and cascade cycle. The results show that the optimal pressure point depends on the individual refrigerant and the highest liquefaction efficiency of carbon dioxide (R744) - propane (R290) refrigerant.

The Busan shoe industry has been the accelerating overseas transfer of production facilities due to loss of competitiveness in the wake of drastic revaluation of the won, an increase in personnel expenses and the rise of backup developing countries since the late 1980s. On account of changes in the general system of supply and demand caused by a decrease in exports and production, the Industrial structure has been subjected to a transition from export to domestic demand. As a result, the Busan shoe industry, which used to rank second in the world in terms of its shoe export and to account for 16.5% in terms of its market share, started to be regarded as a fast-fading industry. As a domestic companies have a tendency to almost all the tasks on bloc, it is true that their competitiveness is on the rapid decline for they prefer self-reliance on the premise that all the production should be dealt with for themselves. It is outsourcing that is taken into account as a strategic vehicle for converting such self-reliance into the system of low expenditure and high efficiency.

Purpose - This study aims to study the activation pattern of declining industries by applying the Gompertz growth model using available resources based on the theory of industrial life cycle, classifying declining industries among Korean manufacturing industries, and identifying resource input characteristics. Research design and methodology - This study was conducted by combining the Gompertz growth model that predicts the limit of output based on available resources under the industrial life cycle theory. Using Gompertz model, this study analyzed the life cycle of 39 Korean manufacturing industries from the perspective of domestic production, number of employees, and fixed assets Results - According to a life cycle analysis of 39 manufacturing industries in Korea, the computer, textile, and shoe industries were classified as declining industries. Among them, research on resource input characteristics on the shoe industry showed that domestic production and the number of employees decreased, while the proportion of domestic R&D personnel and the number of research departments gradually increased. Conclusion - Among the declining industries in Korea, the shoe industry is considered to revitalize the industry, that is, to extend the life of the declining industry by offshoring its production site and improving constitution with a "R&D center for global" support.

In this paper, I review evidence on changing global specialization in labor-intensive exporting. Production of apparel, footwear, furniture, and related products are how many low-income countries first enter export manufacturing. Just as China's rise as a powerhouse in these goods supplanted a role previously occupied by the East Asian Tigers, the world may again be on the cusp of significant change in where labor-intensive goods are produced. China's prowess in these sectors peaked in the early 2010s; its share in their global exports, while still substantial, is now in decline. Mechanisms through which the global economy may adjust to China's graduation into more technologically sophisticated activities include expanded labor-intensive export production in other emerging economies and labor-saving technological change in products currently heavily reliant on less-educated labor. Available evidence suggests that the first mechanism is operating slowly and the second hardly at all. As a third mechanism, China may in part replace itself by moving labor-heavy factories out of densely populated and expensive coastal cities and into the country's interior. Such a transition, though still in its infancy, would mirror the decentralization of manufacturing production in the U.S. and Europe, which occurred after World War II.

최근의 급격한 과학 기술발전에도 불구하고 2000년대 이후 전 산업에 걸쳐 생산성 하락 현상이 나타나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 생산성 하락 현상을 아마존, 알파벳, 애플 등 일부 지배적 기업의 출현과 성장 그리고 인수합병 추이를 기반으로 산업/개별 기업 수준에서 실증적으로 규명하고자 하였다. 기존 연구 결과와 유사하게, 본 연구의 분석 결과도 2000년대 이후 산업 수준에서의 생산성은 하락한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 2011년 이후 기간만을 고려하면, 지배적 기업군의 성장으로 인한 산업 내 분배적 효율성 악화 뿐 아니라 지배적 기업 비율이 낮은 산업군의 존속기업 성장률 하락도 산업 전반의 생산성 하락에 기여한 것으로 분석되었다. 반면, 개별 기업 수준의 생산성을 분석한 결과를 보면, IT 기업을 인수한 기업의 생산성은 전 기간에 걸쳐 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 인수합병의 동기는 전반적으로 생산성에 정(+)의 방향으로 영향을 주지만 기술획득, 생산비용 절감 등 공급 측면에서의 효율성 향상을 위한 인수합병 대비 시장침투, 시장정보 획득 및 채널 확대 등 수요 측면에 초점을 둔 인수합병이 상대적으로 더 큰 폭으로 생산성 증가에 기여한 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 산업 내 지배적 위치의 기업 비중이 높을수록 개별 기업의 생산성은 하락하는 것으로 나타났다. 디지털 중심으로의 산업구조 변화로 인해 거대 기업의 지위가 더욱 공고해지는 경향을 보이는 현 시점에서, 본 연구 결과는 거대 기업의 등장, IT/Non-IT 기업 인수, 인수합병의 동기 그리고 생산성 변동과의 관계를 실증적으로 규명하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
