Purpose - This paper aims to investigate a profit maximizing incentive of foreign traders in distributing the KOSPI 200 Futures. Such an incentive may induce unsophisticated retail traders to suffer loss from speculative trading. Since Korean government increased the entry barriers of the market to protect unsophisticated traders, the market size has been decreasing while the proportion of the contract held by foreign traders has been increasing. These on going changes make the market imperfectly competitive, where a profit maximization incentives of foreign traders are expected to grow. In this paper, we attempt to find any evidence of such behavior, thereby providing implications regarding market policy and market efficiency. Research design, data, and methodology - According to Kyle(1985), an informed trader exploits his/her monopoly power optimally in a dynamic context so that he/she makes positive profit, where he/she could conceal his/her trading utilizing noise trading as camouflage. We apply the KOSPI 200 Futures market to the Kyle's model: foreign traders who take into account the effect of his/her trading to maximize expected profits as an informed trader, retail investors as noise traders, and financial institutions as market makers. To find any evidence of monopolistic behavior, we test the variants of trading volume and price data of the KOSPI 200 Futures over the period of 2009 and 2017. Results - First, we find that the price of the KOSPI 200 Futures are more volatile than the price of underlying asset. Second, we find that monopolistic foreign trader's trading order flows are consistent with exploiting his/her monopoly power to maximize profit. Finally, we find that retail investors' trading order flows are inversely consistent with maximizing profit, that is, uninformed retail investors suffer loss continuously in speculative trading against informed traders. Conclusions - Our results show that the quantity of strategic order flows may have a large effect on the price, therefore, resulting the market inefficiency. The results also imply that, in implementing regulations, the depth of the market must be considered to maintain market liquidity, and suggesting interesting research topics regarding the market structure.

The purpose of this study is to explore the dynamic properties of causality and asymmetric price transmission in the distributional channel of the tomato market in Korea. Using the wholesale and retail price series of the tomato market, we obtain the following results. First, the price transmission mechanism reveals the causal relationship channeling from the wholesale price to the retail price. Second, we find an asymmetric price transmission from the analysis using the threshold partial adjustment model. The retail price responds strongly when the wholesale price increases. On the other hand, the retail price shows sluggish adjustment when the wholesale price decreases.

This paper presents exploratory research on consumer awareness and attitudesabout organic food, for which consumer demand continues to increase the paper also assesses consumers' organic food distribution channel preferences. By conducting a literature review, a case study has been carried out in order to glean customer behavior, market condition and typesof distribution channels, and development of specialty stores for organic foods. The early research indicates that consumer awareness and customer attitudes toward organic food are mostly positive however, organic food's high price, as well as a lack of organic food stores, cause a negative effect on consumers' purchase intention. Secondly, the U.S. organic food retail channel consists of such mainstream supermarket/grocery stores and leading natural and organic food supermarket chains as Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Sunflower Farmers Market. For the current retail distribution of organic food in Korea, off-line stores are composed of direct management stores and franchise chains. Most of the organic food retail distribution operates through the Internet shopping mall, and are commonly located at retail distribution centers as multi-channel, shop-in-shop stores. Moreover, unlike in the U.S., association and consumers' cooperatives (Co-Ops), and such other member-direct retail stores as Hansallim, iCOOP, Nature Dream,and online shopping malls, are all active in Korea. Thirdly, as a result of an analysis of the present state of the organic food retail channel, as well as building a case for organic food specialty stores, the distinctive featuresand rapid growth of such unique organic food stores as Whole Foods Market, or Trader Joe's successful downsizing strategies, as well as Sunflower Farmers Market low-price approach, show steady industry growth. Moreover, as a result of a case studyof such domestic representative organic food specialty stores as "Olga" and "Chorokmaeul," a similar management style to the United States' "Whole Foods Market" and "Trader Joe's," respectively, can be seen. Similar to the U.S. market, Korean organic food markets should also implement active retail distribution opportunities, allowing consumers to select from various diverse and differentiated choices. In order to accomplish this goal, it is necessary to prepare such measures as sustaining reasonable prices, securing various suppliers for unique products,and improving consumer trust through advertisement strategies that are suitable for each company's branding processes.

The purposes of this study are to investigate the formation and the change of apparel retail structure historically with the viewpoint that the retail structure is affected by the process of economic development. This study was done by literature research method and the result of this study is the following. The tailor and seamstress shops, the first clothing shops in Korea, were replaced by ready-made shops, because mass production system which had developed with the industrialization of Korea increased the advantage of economy of scale compared to handicrafts individual one. After that, the production system of apparel industry had been efficient continuously, while retail system had not. The retailing of famous brand apparel conducted by exclusive franchise store caused supplier oriented markets where the opinion and the desire of consumers were not reflected. While the retailing of the unknown brand apparel handled by small retail stores were inefficient. As the apparel industry matured in 1990s, various types of new stores appeared such as specialty stores, discount stores, TV home shopping, internet shopping, outlet malls, and big fashion stores in Dongdeamoon. These new stores have features of seeking profits in mass merchandising. As these large retail stores grow, the apparel retail structure of Korea is changing from a fragmented market to a vertically integrated one. This change is shown by the decrease of stores per inhabitants. With the change of environment, the apparel retail system which has lagged behind comparatively is expected to develop into more efficient system based on the large capital investment which raise the advantage of economy of scale.

본 연구에서는 상가권리금의 가치에 영향을 미치는 요인에 관하여 고찰하고 영향의 정도를 분석하기 위하여 실제 권리금 거래 자료를 바탕으로 연구를 진행하였다. 특히 영업이익이 권리금의 형성과정에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 중심으로 분석을 진행하였다. 위계적 회귀분석결과 상가권리금에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 독립변수는 월영업이익이었으며, 두 번째로 영향이 큰 변수는 월환산임대료로 나타나 권리금의 형성은 영업이익의 크기에 의하여 주로 결정되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 권리금을 지불하고 점포를 임차하는 경우 매출, 제반 비용 등에 대한 객관적인 추정을 통해서 권리금수준을 파악해야 할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 점포 운영자는 당초 지급한 권리금을 유지하고 상향된 권리금을 수수하기 위해서는 영업이익의 관리가 수반되어야 할 것이다. 법제화 이후 상가권리금 제도의 안정적인 정착을 위해서는 권리금에 대한 인식의 대전환이 필요한 시점이다. 이를 통하여 시장관행상 형성된 권리금과 감정평가를 통해 산정한 권리금과의 괴리를 방지하고 권리금 시장이 객관화, 투명화, 선진화되기를 기대한다.

본 연구의 목적은 최근 급격하게 확산되고 있는 기업형 슈퍼마켓(SSM)의 시장 진입이 국내 소매업 경쟁구조에 미친 영향을 실증하는데 있다. 자료의 분석기간은 2000년 1월부터 2010년 12월까지이며, 기업형 슈퍼마켓이 월별로 진입한 점포수, 누적 점포수, 신규 SSM 사업체 중 $165m^2$ 미만 점포비율이 분석모형에 고려되어 소매업태별 상대적 시장점유율에 미치는 효과가 분석되었다. 한국표준산업분류 코드에서 종합소매업에 속해 있는 백화점, 대형마트, 슈퍼마켓, 체인화 편의점, 기타 음식료품 위주 종합 소매업으로 구분된 소매업태간 시장점유율은 매월 각 소매업태별 판매액을 합산하여 월별 총 소매판매액을 계산한 후, 각 소매업태의 판매액이 총 소매판매액에서 차지하는 비율로 측정하였다. 통제변수로 소매업태별 종사자 수, 통화량(M2)이 모형에 추가되어 분석되었다. 분석결과, 신규 SSM 시장진입으로 인한 소매업태별 시장점유율 변화는 대형마트에서만 통계적으로 유의한 결과가 도출되었다. SSM의 누적 점포수는 모든 소매업태의 시장점유율 변화에 유의한 영향을 미쳤으나 그 영향력에 대한 방향성이 소매업태별로 다르게 나타났다. 먼저 SSM의 확산은 대형마트와 편의점의 시장점유율을 감소시킨 반면에 백화점, 슈퍼마켓, 기타 음식료품 위주 종합 소매점의 시장점유율에는 긍정적인 공헌을 한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과에 대한 논의, 시사점, 그리고 향후 연구 방향이 제시되었다.
