Acknowledging that individuals dislike having low relative income renders trade less attractive when seen as a technology that integrates two economies by merging separate social spheres into one. We define a "trembling trade" as a situation in which gains from trade are less than losses in relative income, with the result that global social welfare is reduced. We show that a "trembling trade" can arise even when trade is more gainful in four ways: through trade the absolute income of everyone increases, the income gap in both economies is reduced, as is the income gap between the trading economies. However, trade brings populations, economies, or markets that were not previously connected closer together in social space. As a consequence, separate social spheres merge, and people's social space and their comparators are altered. Assuming that people like high (absolute) income and dislike low relative income, the aggregate increase in unhappiness caused by the trade-induced escalation in relative deprivation can result in a negative overall impact of trade on (utilitarian-measured) social welfare, if the absolute income gains are not large enough to mitigate the relative income losses.

The purpose of this study was to investigate relations of resources and demands, family financial management and financial statement of urban households by applying a system approach. The results of this study were as follows; Saving rate had significant differences according to resources variables such as age, family life cycle, occupation of househead and housewife, ratio of employed to family member, and to demands variabels such as subjective prospect of business cycle, and value orientation, whereas total saving amount had significant differences according to resources vaiables such as age, family life cycle, educational level, percapita income, occupation of househead, type of income and to demand variable, perception of relative income. Also average monthly saving amount had significant differences according to resources vaiables such as educational level, per capita income, occupation of housewife, housing ownership, ratio of employed to family member, ratio of dependent to employed, and to demands variable, perception of relative income. The stocks had significant differences according to resources variables such as age, family life cycle, educational level, per capita income, occupation of househead, type of income, and housing ownership. Finally, real estate had significant differences according to resources variables such as age, family life cycle, educational level, percapita income, occupation of househead, type of income, housing ownership, and to demands variable, perception of relative income. Financial Statement among urban households according to family financial management had significant differences. And among all variables affecting financial statement among urban households, per capita income had the highest effect and perception of relative income was the second.

본 연구에서는 소득과 삶의 만족 간에 맺는 관계에 대하여 기존에 대립되는 두 가지 이론, 즉 욕구이론과 비교이론을 대비하여 분석해 보았다. 예상대로 우리나라의 경우에도 소득과 삶의 만족도 간에는 정적이며 체감하는 관계가 존재하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 같은 교육수준에서도 다른 사람보다 소득에서 우월함으로 인하여 삶의 만족도에 차이가 난다는 비교이론의 가설은 제한적으로 뒷받침되었다. 한편, 과거와 비교하여 현재의 소득이 높을 경우 현재의 동일한 소득수준의 다른 사람들보다 더 삶에 만족도가 증가한다는 또 다른 비교이론 가설은 본 연구에서 부정되었다. 소득의 증가에 따라 욕구 만족도가 높아졌다는 점을 넘어서서 과거와 비교하여 현재가 나아졌다는 사실 자체만으로 삶에 더 만족하게 되는 것은 아님을 확인하게 된다.

Clothing consumption expenditure (UX) data of Korean consumers during the period of 1965 to 1993 were analyzed by time series analysis technique. According to the results of regression analysis, current income and UX of the year before showed most significant influences on the current UX. This means that the absolute and permanent income hypotheses can be accepted in case of clothing expenditures. However the effect of income decreased as the economy developed. The relative price of clothing had weak or no influence on clothing expenditures. It was also found out that CSX of the year before, the change of income, relative price of clothing ware the factors that affected clothing expenditures. From the estimation of Houthakker-Taylor state adjustment model, a negative stock coefficient was obtained. That is, clothing is subject to an inventor effect and Korean consumers regard clothing as one of the durable goods. To define whether clothing is a "luxury" or a "necessity", income and relative price elasticity of clothing expenditures were estimated. Income elasticity of clothing is slightly below 1.0 in case of national aggregate expenditures, and slightly above 1.0 in case of urban consumers' expenditures. Income elasticity has declined over time. Meanwhile the coefficient of price elasticity is not significant, indicating that the relative price of clothing have little connection with clothing expenditure.lothing expenditure.

본 연구에서는 12개년의 종단면 시계열 자료를 활용하여 절대소득과 상대소득을 포함한 노후의 소득수준이 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는지의 여부를 검증하였다. 연구결과, 자산분위별, 지역별 및 학력기준에 따른 각 준거집단의 상대소득이 노인 자신의 절대소득보다 노후의 생활만족도에 더 큰 영향력을 미치고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 횡단자료를 이용한 상관관계 분석에서도 상대소득은 생활만족도와 밀접한 관련성을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며 종단자료를 이용한 패널분석모형에서 준거집단의 상대소득 수준은 노후의 생활만족도 수준결정에 있어 유의미한 영향을 보이고 있었다. 비교대상이 되는 준거집단의 소득수준보다 상대적으로 자신의 소득수준이 높을 경우에 노후의 삶의 만족도는 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 과거 시점의 생활만족도 수준도 현재 노인의 평균 생활만족도 결정에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 종단자료 분석에서 나타난 이러한 분석결과는 중장기적 관점에서의 노인의 생활만족도 결정과정에서 기존의 절대소득가설보다는 상대소득가설이 보다 타당하다는 사실을 입증하고 있다. 구체적인 학문적 및 실천적 함의로는 정책당국의 경제적 지원만으로는 충분치 않으며 노인일자리를 창출·보급함으로써 노인들의 사회참여 기회를 제공하는 것이 필요하며, 다양한 형태의 비경제적 사회참여 확대 및 이를 보장하기 위한 체계적인 노력이 뒷받침되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives : This study describes trends in the socioeconomic disparities in breast cancer screening among US women aged 40 or over, from 2000 to 2005. We assessed 1) the disparities in each socioeconomic dimension; 2) the changes in screening mammography rates over time according to income, education, and race; and 3) the sizes and trends of the disparities over time. Methods : Using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) from 2000 to 2005, we calculated the age-adjusted screening rate according to relative household income, education level, health insurance, and race. Odds ratios and the relative inequality index (RII) were also calculated, controlling for age. Results : Women in their 40s and those with lower relative incomes were less likely to undergo screening mammography. The disparity based on relative income was greater than that based on education or race (the RII among low-income women across the survey years was 3.00 to 3.48). The overall participation rate and absolute differences among socioeconomic groups changed little or decreased slightly across the survey years. However, the degree of each socioeconomic disparity and the relative inequality among socioeconomic positions remained quite consistent. Conclusions : These findings suggest that the trend of the disparity in breast cancer screening varied by socioeconomic dimension. Continued differences in breast cancer screening rates related to income level should be considered in future efforts to decrease the disparities in breast cancer among socioeconomic groups. More focused interventions, as well as the monitoring of trends in cancer screening participation by income and education, are needed in different social settings.

본 논문은 간단한 일반균형 모형을 통해 소득 이전과 임금 보조금 정책의 경제 효과를 비교한다. 지원 대상인 저임금 근로자가 수요의 소득탄력성이 높은 재화 및 서비스 생산에 집약되어 있을수록 조세를 통한 재분배 효과는 제한적으로 나타난다. 한편, 지원 방식에 있어서 근로장려세제와 같은 임금보조금(wage subsidy) 정책은 단순한 소득 이전(income transfer)에 비해 고용과 GDP 증가라는 긍정적 효과를 동반할 수 있지만, 그 재분배 효과는 노동공급뿐 아니라 노동수요의 탄력성에 크게 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 효율성과 형평성의 최적 조합을 위해서는, 각 정책의 효과에 대해 면밀한 실증분석이 필요하다고 판단된다.

본 연구는 사람들이 생활을 영위하는 최소 공간단위라 할 수 있는 읍면동 수준에서 지역의 소득수준이 계층인식의 불일치에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하고, 소득 분배에 대한 정확한 정보가 주어진다고 가정할 때, 개인의 삶의 만족감은 어떻게 달라질 것인지 분석하였다. 주요 분석 결과는 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 첫째, 지역의 경제적 수준이 높을수록 객관적 소득수준보다 계층인식은 낮아지는 하향불일치 현상이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 소득이 높은 지역보다 낮은 지역에서 저소득층의 삶의 만족감이 더 크게 감소하였다. 정책결정자의 입장에서 정책의 대상이 되는 이들의 요구는 중요한 고려사항 중 하나이다. 셋째, 계층인식 불일치 감소에 의한 삶의 만족감 변화는 지역의 소득수준에 따라 그 정도가 다르게 나타났다. 특히, 평균적인 소득수준이 낮은 지역에서 삶의 만족감 변화가 더 큰 양상을 보였다. 그러나 소득계층에 대한 인식이 객관적 수준과 다른 상황에서 나타나는 정책적 요구는 그들의 상황을 정확하게 반영하지 못할 수 있다는 점에서 본 연구결과에 의의가 있다.
