This study investigates economies of scale, cost complementarity and economies of scope for healthcare organizations using econometric approaches. The economies of scale appear to exist in each service provided by a hospital such as inpatient treatment services, outpatient treatment services, and other patient treatment services, respectively. When we test all services in aggregate level, it also indicates that the healthcare industry on average exhibits the economies of scale of 6 percent, which implies that scaling up hospital sizes will bring substantial cost savings to them Evidence shows that cost complementarity exists between outpatient services and other services for patients and, i.e., these other services for patients experience the reduction in marginal costs as the outputs of the outpatient services increase. For the economies of scope, they are present in most service areas; aggregate level services, outpatient services, and other services for patients, respectively. Inpatient treatment services, however, do not show any evidence of the economies of scope. Results show that the economies of scope are achieved by the general hospital type that provides all service areas such as inpatient treatments, outpatient treatments, and other services for patients. The existence of the economies of scope provides the rationale for extending the existing line of business in a hospital into more diverse areas of services where its benefit comes in the form of cost savings. In sum, it overall provides evidence that the M&As in this industry are encouraged to achieve cost reductions from the economies of scale and scope by changing the size and the output mix.

본 연구는 최근 빈번하게 진행되고 있는 국내 의료서비스기관들의 대형화 및 집단화 움직임에 대하여 동 산업이 규모 또는 범위의 경제(Economies of Scale and Scope)를 실현할 수 있는지를 전위로그비용함수 추정을 통하여 분석하였다. 추정결과 계수에 따라 다소 차이는 있지만 여타 서비스의 생산수준의 변화에 의해 영향을 받는 특정 서비스 생산의 한계비용을 나타내는 계수들 모두 통계적으로 유의함을 보였다. 추정된 단일생산물 규모의 경제(Single-Product Scale Economy: SSE)계수들 뿐만 아니라 전반적인 약 규모의 경제(Ray Scale Economies: RSE)값 모두 1보다 작은 수치를 나타남으로서 한국 의료서비스기관들의 서비스생산에 규모 경제가 존재함을 보여주었다. 범위의 경제 존재여부의 분석을 위한 상호 서비스생산에 있어서 비용의 상보성 추정에서도 모두 90% 이상의 통계적 유의수준을 보였다. 특히 외래환자와 입원환자 진료서비스 간, 입원환자 진료서비스와 제 증명서발급 및 기타 서비스 활동 간에 있어서는 범위의 경제뿐만 아니라 비용의 상보성이 존재함을 보여주었다.

본 연구는 서비스 경제화 추세가 진전되면서 공간에 어떠한 변용을 가져오고 있는가를 고찰하였다. 경제의 서비스화가 진전되면서 서비스업에 대한 수요와 공급의 공간적 패턴은 상당한 차이를 나타내고 있으며, 이에 따른 차별적인 서비스업의 성장과 그에 따른 입지는 공간구조에 커다란 영향을 미치고 있다. 지난 15년간 가장 높은 성장률을 보이고 있는 서비스업종은 생산활동과 연계가 깊은 생산자서비스업으로, 이 업종은 서울을 중심으로 한 수도권으로 집중하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 본사기능이 주로 집적되어 있는 핵심지역이 기술, 정보, 지식 집약적인 생산자서비스에 대한 수요가 상대적으로 높기 때문에 이들 지역으로 생산자서비스업체들이 집중하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 앞으로 서울을 세계 대도시들 속에서 경쟁력있는 도시로 성장시키기 위해서는 고차적 생산자서비스업을 육성시키는 것이 바람직하지만 다른 지역들과의 성장격차를 심화시키지 않는 방안이 강구되어야 할 것이다.

Our study aims to investigate the determinants of international competitiveness and international specialization in services, using OECD service trade data. Real exchange rates, world demand, economies of scale, diffusion of IT, human capital, R&D expenditure and institutional variables are introduced as explanatory variables in regressions for 29 OECO countries over $1996{\sim}2003$. Some of major findings from the study can be summarized as follows. First, economies of scale play important role in transport and business services. Second, the index of freedom to trade measured by Faster Institute has a positive and significant impact on international competitiveness in telecommunication, finance and insurance and business services. Third, IT provides favorable condition to build international competitiveness in finance and insurance and business services. Fourth, R&D expenditure contributes to the amelioration of international competitiveness in transport services, while investment in new equipments contributes to increasing the competitiveness in telecommunication services. Thus, our results show the importance of the industrial base for developing a competitive service economy.

도시공간구조는 도시경제활등의 공간적 분포를 반영한다. 또한 공간분포는 개별 경제활동주체들의 입지 또는 재입지 행태의 집합적 표현에 다름 아니다. 이러한 견지에서. 개별기업의 공간행태에 영향을 주는 요인들을 검증해 보는 것은 도시공간의 포괄적인 이해를 위해 매우 중요하다. 집적경제는 대도시 지역 내에서 매우 두드러진 도시경제현상 중의 하나이다. 도시공간 내 대부분의 기업들은 경제활동의 공간적 집중을 통해 외부경제를 추구한다. 본 연구의 촛점은 도시내 경제구조의 분석을 통해 집적경제를 고찰하는 것이다. 많은 수의 기존 연구들이 보다 거시공간적 규모에서 도시간 집적경제의 패턴에 대해서는 분석을 하였으나 도시내 패턴에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 적다. 본 논문은 집적경제를 미시공간적 규모에서 고찰함으로써 경제부문간 및 부문내 집적경제의 공간적분포를 파악하고자 한다. 제조업, 소매업 및 서비스업이 분석대상으로 모형에 이용되었다. 분석모험은 공간 계량 경제학적으로 보정된 변수들을 이용하는 연립방정식 모형이 이용되었으며 회귀결과는 KRP 기법으로 추정되었다

This study focuses on the economies of launching regular air services between capital cities of South Korea and North Korea. The demand for traveling between these two cities is too small to justify scheduled air service. However, it may be possible to provide regular air service by utilizing via flight of incumbent Seoul-Beijing flights. There are numerous flight services between Seoul and Beijing and we may allow some of the Seoul-Beijing flights to stop by Pyung Yang for commercial traffic handling. This study tries to find the optimal discount rate which passengers traveling between Seoul and Beijing via Pyung Yang, the idea is reasonable considering the inconvenience of stopping at Pyung Yang. The Stated Preference Techniques are applied for the study. The required data were collected through interviews of passengers traveling from Seoul to Beijing. The major variables that are considered in flight choice are air fare, flying time, and flight frequency. The relative importance of these major variables is estimated by the logit models calibrated with stated preference data.

The purpose of this paper is to identify factors affecting the optimum mix of required inputs and other relevant factors which account for the variation in physician's productivity in general hospitals, and to find out their implications for the efficient health planning and management. An extended version of Cobb-Douglas production function and cross sectional data of one day patient census from all general hospitals in Korea in 1988 were used in the analysis. Main results of the analysis and their implications could be summarized as follows : (1) The production function for physician's inpatient service shows the evidence of economies of scale, but the production function for physician's outpatient and adjusted-patient service, which combines both out- and in-patient service, shows that of dis-economies of scale. (2) The physician's role for production for all service is smaller than auxiliary personnel's, which imply that more intensive utilization of nurses, nursing aides and other auxiliary personnel is desirable for improving general hospital productivity (3) In case of physician's inpatient and adjusted-patient service, nurses' role is greater than nursing aides'. Therefore, more extensive utilization of nurses is recommended for the efficient operation of general hospitals. (4) The factor of hospital beds plays the leading role among required inputs in the production for physician's in- and adjusted-patient service. (5) The physician's productivity of general hospitals in rural area is lower than that in urban area. And the productivity of teaching hospitals is lower than that of the other hospitals. Further analysis was made in physician production function based upon the size of hospitals, namely those hospitals below 250 beds and those above. Explained variances by the factor of hospital beds was significantly increased in the case of those hospitals above 250. A more detailed and thorough investigation is needed for verifying factors influencing physician's productivity in general hospitals in Korea.

Over the past three decades, services have become the largest part of most industrialized nations' economies but it is the least-studied part of the economy. One approach is to develop a general theory of service with well-defined questions, tools, methods, and practical implications of society. The purpose of this study was to propose a service systems model to systematically approach a service research. For this purpose, we conducted literature review about business model and extant service systems researches. Based on a literature review, we propose a service systems model that comprises value proposition, participants, shared information/knowledge, organizational capability, value network, and technology. Implications for practice and recommendations for additional research were discussed.

While in high-income countries the development of digital technology began in the 1970s, in low- and middle-income countries it began in the 1990s and even after 2005, due to the political regime that constrained economic development and innovation. At the same time, there are no studies of the relationship between technological development and structural changes through innovation in low- and middle-income countries. The article aims to quantify the relationship of the introduction of digital technologies on innovation, structural transformation of low- and middle-income economies. The industrial-agrarian economy of Uzbekistan with an authoritarian regime is in a state of transition to a market economy, while in Ukraine, there are active processes of Europeanization and integration into the EU. Ukraine's economy is commodity-based (the export of raw materials of industries and the agricultural sector in developed countries predominates) and industrial-agrarian. Digital technologies and the service sector are little developed in Uzbekistan. On the other hand, Ukraine has a more developed ICT sector. Uzbekistan is gradually undergoing an innovative and structural transformation of the economy: the productivity of the agricultural, industrial, and service sectors is growing, but the ICT sector is virtually undeveloped. In comparison, in Ukraine, there are no significant structural transformations due to a significant drop in productivity of the industrial sector, with stable growth of productivity of the agricultural sector due to technology and a slight increase in productivity of the service sector. It is revealed that Ukraine and Uzbekistan have undergone structural transformations of the economy in favor of the service sector, while the agricultural and industrial sectors produce less and less. If Uzbekistan remains the industrial-agrarian country with an aggregate share of the added value of these sectors 59% in 2019, Ukraine transits to the post-industrial type of economy where the added value of the service sector in GDP grows (55% compared to agrarian and industrial sectors at 42%).

Service science has emerged as the key factor in developed economies as it becomes the main driver of productivity and economic growth. MICE industry has also opened up new revenues through improved services and new services which is a more attractive strategy for success. The importance of adoption of service science has recently emerged in MICE industry. However it has not been provided a detail action plan it is needed positive interesting and common endeavor of academy, industry, and government sector. In this context, we analyzed the major issues in adoption of service science in the MICE industry and developed the paradigm model by ground theory approach and proposed a roles of MICE service provider, mediator and consumer for service science adoption which have not been treated as a research topic in the domestic MICE areas sofar.
