서브프라임 모기지 및 구조화 상품 등에 대한 부정확한 신용등급은 최근 금융위기 확산의 주요 요인으로 지적되고 있다. 본 논문은 신용평가노력을 관찰할 수 없는 숨겨진 행동모형(hidden action model)을 통해 신용평가회사의 행태 및 규제에 대한 분석을 시도하여 현재 논의되고 있는 신용평가기능 개선을 위한 논의에 보완적인 기여를 하고자 한다. 분석 결과, 도덕적 해이가 존재하면 신용평가노력이 관찰 가능하지 않음으로 인해 사회적으로 최적인 수준보다 낮은 수준의 신용평가노력을 기울임을 확인하였다. 경쟁 및 평판효과를 고려한 확장된 모형의 경우에도 신용평가회사에 사회적으로 최적의 유인을 제공하는 데는 한계가 존재한다. 그리고 부수업무의 존재는 신용평가회사의 노력수준과 사회적 최적 수준 간의 괴리를 확대함을 확인하였다. 따라서 경쟁과 평판에 의한 규율이 불완전한 경우 신용평가회사에 대한 감독 및 잘못된 정보의 제공에 따른 책임의 부과가 필요하다

Purpose - Using a model that highlights Ricardian comparative advantage and Cournot competition, I derive theoretical predictions on how bilateral measures of trade intensity, specialization, and intra-industry are interrelated, and how Ricardian productivity differences affect these measures. We test the predictions using trade and production data, and confirm them. Design/methodology - A simple two-country general equilibrium model is constructed to derive theory-based bilateral indexes. We then test the relationships among them using panel data for 35 countries and 14 industries between 1996 and 2008. Findings - Bilateral trade intensity is increasing in specialization, as in the classical trade theory, and in intra-industry trade, as in the new trade theory. However, productivity differences positively affect specialization, and negatively affect intra-industry trade. These effects cancel each other; thus productivity differences have little impact on trade intensity. Originality/value - This paper provides a comprehensive conceptual framework for understanding the relationship among trade intensity, specialization, intra-industry trade, and productivity differences. We derive theory-consistent measures of specialization, intra-industry trade, and productivity differences. Moreover, we reevaluate the empirical relevance of these variables for the study of gravity equations. This paper is also an effort to capture oligopolistic competition in a general equilibrium framework, interests in which recently resurged.

This paper examines strategic competition model between offline and online retailers and draws strategic implications. Research on the price competition between conventional offline retailers and online retailers has been done through empirical approaches, however, the results are conflicting. This paper reconciles the existing conflicting empirical findings on price levels between offline and online retailers through theoretical approach. This paper analyzes how the internet market has effect on equilibrium prices of both offline and online retailers and discusses the possible reasons why there exist price differences between offline and online retailers in business to consumer electronic commerce.

We consider a consumer self-selection model in which a regulated firm faces two market segments with differing valuation of quality of telecommunication services and examine some economic implications from the behaviors of the firm. In the context of a regulated monopolist, even though the results depend on the degree of privatization, the firm could lower the quality of the low-end model and reduce the price of the high-end in order to alleviate cannibalization. This justifies the provision of universal service policy in the telecommunications market. Based on this self-selection model, we also analyze an extended model of product introduction and show that the monopolist will introduce new product with the same introduction time of social planner. However, when we consider competition among firms, the market equilibrium may not guarantee the efficient time of product introduction.

The current worldwide electricity market introduced competition, which is breaking up the monopoly structure and also enforcing phased structural reform in South Korea. The change of the electricity charge from cost base to price base due to the introduction of the electricity market competition causes consumer to choose a variety of charge schemes and a portion of loads to be affected by this change. Therefore, in order to find a mathematical model of the sensitively-responding-to-price loads and reflect this to the DSM demand management, the price-sensitive load model is needed. Thus, this paper first proposes the composite price-sensitive load model that is expressed as a function of price, presents the methodology to estimate price-sensitive load model at each bus by bus load compositions.

최근 통신기술의 발달로 교육용 컨텐츠에 있어서도 학습자와 학습 컨텐츠 사이의 상호작용이 강조되고 있다. 반면에 기존의 WBI나 CAI의 경우는 학습자와 컨텐츠 사이의 단순한 상호작용만 적용하였다. 학습자간의 상호작용을 극대화 할 수 있는 게임 형태의 플랫폼은 찾아보기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서 개별적 독립학습에서 발생하는 학습자간의 상호작용 부재의 문제와 협동학습에서 나타나는 공동의 목표 설정 및 프로그램 구현의 어려움을 극복하기 위한 대안으로 다자간 상호 경쟁적 학습 모형을 제시한다. 또, 이를 적용한 네트워크 게임 형태의 교육 컨텐츠를 위한 설계와 플랫폼 형태로 실제 구현해 봄으로써 상호 경쟁적 학습 모형과 함께 교육용 컨텐츠의 새로운 관점을 제시해 보았다.

The Alaska competition provides an opportunity to study the practical problems of real-world steganalysis. Participants are required to solve steganalysis involving various embedding schemes, inconsistency JPEG Quality Factor and various processing pipelines. In this paper, we propose a method to ensemble multiple deep learning steganalyzers. We select SRNet and RESDET as our base models. Then we design a three-layers model ensemble network to fuse these base models and output the final prediction. By separating the three colors channels for base model training and feature replacement strategy instead of simply merging features, the performance of the model ensemble is greatly improved. The proposed method won second place in the Alaska 1 competition in the end.

본 연구에서는 위치종속조사가법에 의해 소나무임분에서 조사된 자료로부터 임목의 크기 및 경쟁목과의 거리를 함께 고려한 개체목차원의 거리종속경쟁지수와 전통적인 임분차원의 밀도척도를 추정하고 이들을 흉고직경생장과 비교하여 경쟁상태에 대한 설명력을 검토하였으며, 경쟁지수가 영향변수로 고려된 개체목 흉고직경생장식을 유도하였다. 경쟁목선정방법에 있어 경쟁치단각도를 30도로 설정했을 때의 경쟁지수가 흉고직경생장과 기장 높은 상관관계를 보인 반면, 경쟁구역거리는 흉고직경생장추정에 대한 경쟁지수의 설명력에 미미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 개체목별 거리종속경쟁지수에 근거한 대부분의 임분경쟁지수들은 임분의 경쟁상태를 비슷하게 나타내는 것으로 평가되었다. 임령과 지위지수의 영향을 배제한 상태에서의 편상관분석결과 Alemdag의 평균경쟁지수 및 상대공간지수가 흉고직경과 가장 높은 연관성을 나타냈는데, 이중 개체목의 위치를 파악하지 않고도 비교적 손쉽게 파악될 수 있는 상대공간지수가 임분의 평균흉고직경을 추정하는데는 좀더 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 개체목차원의 거리종속 경쟁지수중에서, 지위 및 흉고직경의 영향을 배제시킨다면 Hegyi의 경쟁지수가 흉고직경생장과 가장 밀접한 영향관계에 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이로부터 Hegyi경쟁지수 및 임령, 우세목수고, 개체목의 흉고직경을 영향인자로 하는 다음과 같은 흉고직경생장식을 유도하였다. $$dbh^{\prime}=3.975362676{\cdot}age^{-1.099274613}{\cdot}ho^{0.199893990}{\cdot}dbh^{0.269430865}{\cdot}HgCI^{-0.353643587}$$ 위의 식은 다른 조건이 같다면 지위지수는 흉고직경생장에 유리한 영향을 미치는 반면 임령 및 경쟁지수의 증가에 의해서는 흉고직경생장이 둔화된다는 일반생장법칙에 부합되어 흉고직경생장식으로 적합하다고 판단되며, 단목생장모델을 위한 함수식으로 활용될 수 있다.

Recently we have seen a noticeable trend in ports to establish port clusters. Despite this trend, little research has actually been undertaken to fully define and analyse port clusters. A couple of exceptions have descriptively defined port clusters but the boundaries of port clusters are not apparent. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to define port clusters in terms of set theory and in particular look at them in terms of their distinct characteristics and system boundaries. The main concern of this paper is that there is a need to distinguish, from a system and a competition perspective, between port clusters, ports, maritime clusters and port ranges. This paper proposes a conceptual model relevant to the relationship among port clusters related assemblages and that has been applied to the north western europe region This model suggests six levels of competition that will help port authorities and government to develop appropriate policies and strategies for port operation and port industry.

Purpose - This paper empirically investigates the competition effect of exports between Korea and China in their common-export markets considering market sophistication. Modern market sophistication includes an importing country's aggregate demand for products of high quality, design, novelty, eco-friendliness, and even IPR protection. Using an empirical analysis to identify the demand for product quality across countries, this paper estimates the effects of market sophistication on the competition between Korean exports and Chinese products. Design/Methodology - Our empirical model considers the relationship between an importing country's consumer sophistication and the export competition between Korea and China. This study employs the existing theoretical framework to identify the aggregate demand for product quality across countries. Using a quite direct measurement (the consumer sophistication index, our analysis investigates the differential effects of Korea's export market sophistication, particularly in markets where Korean exports are in competition with similar Chinese products. Findings - Our main findings can be summarized as follows: the negative effects of the export competition between Korea and China on Korea's exports are stronger in third markets where consumers are less sophisticated while the effects are not as pronounced in markets where consumers are more sophisticated. This result, however, best applies to differentiated goods which significantly vary in product quality. Originality/value - Existing studies focus on the supply side of production and make the assumption that the market preference for export quality is identical across countries. This paper attempts to evaluate the export competition between Korea and China from the demand-side perspective. This area of trade studies is underexplored both empirically and in theory, although the issue has long been important to Korean and world trade.
