This study evaluates life annuity plans based on two different types of measures : financial benefit and utility on consumption. The financial benefit is measured by Money's Worth (MW) ratio and return on annuity. For the measure of utility, an optimization problem is formulated with the objective of maximizing utility on consumption. To solve the optimization model, we use Dynamic Programming (DP) technique. The both types of measures are applied to cases of Korean pre-retirees at age 40 with different accumulation years of annuity (i.e. level of annuity asset at the age of retirement) and different timings of annuitization. Our results generally indicate that the utility based optimization model is superior to the financial measures in terms of providing a better evaluation of an annuity plan due to its capability to consider an individual's financial situation during his/her retirement period. Also, they suggest that the level of annuity asset is an important factor when an individual determines the optimal annuitization timing.

본 연구는 기존 연구에서 초점을 맞춘 1기간 모형과는 달리 2기간 모형에서 위험회피성향의 증가에 따라 노력의 투입에 따라 손실의 크기와 발생확률이 동시에 감소하는 손실통제 노력의 변화를 살펴보고 있다. 노력의 투입과 손실의 발생시점간의 시점 분리를 고려한 본 연구의 가정은 장기에서 위험회피성향의 영향을 관찰할 수 있게 해준다. 그 결과 첫째, 손실함수 및 비용함수에 추가적인 제약이 존재했던 단기 모형인 기존 연구와는 달리 장기에서는 위험회피성향의 증가가 손실통제 노력의 증가를 가져왔다. 둘째, 손실통제 노력을 자가보험 노력 및 자가보호 노력으로 세분화해 볼 때, 위험회피성향의 증가가 자가보험 노력은 증가시키나 자가보호에 미치는 영향이 불분명하던 기존 단기모형의 결과와는 달리, 장기에서는 위험회피성향의 증가로 인해 자가보험 노력 및 자가보호 노력이 모두 증가한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 셋째, 평균이 0인 배경위험이 존재하는 경우 2기간 모형에서 위험회피성향의 증가에 따라 손실통제 노력이 증가할 충분조건은 효용함수가 신중성 조건을 나타내는 것이다.

This study analyzes the distributor's inventory model in a two-stage supply chain consisting of the supplier, the distributor and the end customer. The supplier will allow a credit period before the distributor settles the account with him in order to stimulate the demand for the product he produces. It is also assumed that the distributor pays the shipping cost for the order and hence, the distributor's ordering cost consists of a fixed ordering cost and the shipping cost that depend on the order quantity. The availability of the delay in payments from the supplier enables discount of the distributor's selling price from a wider range of the price option in anticipation of increased customer's demand. As a result, the availability of a credit transaction leads to an increase in inventory levels. On the other hand, in the case of deteriorating products in which the utility of the product perish over time, the deterioration rate with time plays a role in reducing inventory levels. In this regard, we analyze the effect of the length of the credit period and the degree of product deterioration on the distributor's inventory level. For the analysis, we formulate the distributor's annual net profit and analyze the effect of the length of credit period and deterioration rate of the product on inventory policy numerically.

In this paper, we analyze the buyer's joint pricing and lot-sizing model in a two-stage supply chain consisting of the supplier, the buyer and the customer. It is assumed that the supplier will permit a certain fixed period for settling the amount the buyer owes to him for the items supplied in order to stimulate the demand for the product. Generally, credit transactions would have a positive effect to the buyer. The availability of credit transactions from the supplier effectively reduces the cost of holding stocks for the buyer and therefore, the buyer has a lot of price options to choose his sales price for a customer in anticipation of increased the customer's demand and, as a result, it will appear to increase the buyer's inventory levels. On the other hand, in the case of decaying products in which their utility decay over time, the decaying rate with time may be expected to reduce inventory levels. In this regard, we need to analyze how much the length of credit period and the decaying rate affect the buyer's pricing and lot-sizing policy. For the analysis, we consider the situation where the customer's demand is represented as a linearly decreasing function of the buyer's sales price. From this perspective, we formulate the buyer's annual net profit and analyze the effect of the length of credit period and decaying rate of the product on the buyer's inventory policy numerically.

The paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the stock market prices. The vector autoregression model (VAR) has been used in this analysis to survey 341 stocks on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE) for the period from January 23, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The empirical results obtained from the analysis of 11 economic sectors suggest that there is a statistically significant impact relationship between COVID-19 and the healthcare and utility industries. Additional findings show a statistically significant negative impact of COVID-19 on the utility share price at lag 1. Analysis of impulse response function (IRF) and forecast error variance decomposition (FEVD) show an inverse reaction of utility stock prices to the impact of COVID-19 and a gradual disappearing shock after two steps. Major findings show that there is a clear negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on share prices, and the daily increase in the number of confirmed cases, indicate that, in future disease outbreaks, early containment measures and positive responses are necessary conditions for governments and nations to protect stock markets from excessive depreciation. Utility stocks are among the most severely impacted shares on financial exchanges during a pandemic due to the high risk of immediate or irreversible closure of manufacturing lines and poor demand for basic amenities.

As sustainability has grown into a key global issue, more and more information technology (IT) products have adopted these concepts to attract consumers. However, these products potentially require consumers' physical or economic sacrifice at least for a short period of time. Therefore, the reason of consumers' adoption of sustainable IT products cannot be fully explained by the two traditional values: hedonic and utility values. However, expectancy-value theory, which has been used to explain the relationship between value and behavior, still takes hedonic value and utility value into consideration. The purpose of this study is to suggest an amended expectancy-value theory to better explain the adoption of IT products that consider sustainability. For this purpose, two social values-the normative value based on the Schwartz's model of moral norm and the eudemonic value of the Stoic philosophy-were added to the individual values to examine which value particularly influences the adoption of sustainable IT products. In addition, the moderating effect of perceived sustainability between four values and adoption of sustainable IT products was verified.

본 연구는 Health and Retirement Study(HRS) 패널 자료를 사용하여 민간장기요양보험과 재가요양서비스 이용의 결정요인을 파악하고, 민간장기요양보험이 재가서비스 이용에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 민간장기요양보험은 해지율이 높아 시간 경과에 따라 가입상태가 크게 달라지는 특성을 지닌다. 본 연구는 이러한 시간 의존적 변수의 영향력을 살펴보기 위하여 이산시간모델을 사용하였다. 또한 완전정보 최대우도법을 사용하여 민간장기요양보험 가입과 재가요양서비스 이용 간의 내생성을 설명하고자 하였다. 본 연구에 따르면 민간장기요양보험과 메디케이드 가입자가 재가요양서비스를 이용할 확률이 비가입자에 비하여 유의하게 높지 않았고, 소득이나 자산 등의 경제학적 변수도 재가요양서비스를 이용할 확률에 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 반면, 건강관련 변수는 재가요양서비스를 이용할 확률에 결정적인 영향을 미쳤고, 비공식 수발자가 존재하는 경우에는 재가 요양서비스를 이용할 확률은 유의하게 낮았다. 민간장기요양보험 가입에 영향을 미치는 요인을 보면, 소득과 자산 등의 경제적 요인과 민간장기요양보험 가입은 유의한 정적 관계에 있었으며, 건강상태가 나쁘고 나이가 많을수록 민간장기요양보험에 가입할 확률이 낮았다. 자녀와 거주하는 경우는 다른 가족과 거주하는 경우보다 민간장기요양보험에 가입할 확률이 유의하게 낮았고, 배우자와 둘만 거주하는 경우는 다른 가족과 거주하는 경우보다 장기요양보험에 가입할 확률이 유의하게 높았다. 마지막으로 위의 연구결과가 미국과 한국의 장기요양시장에 시사하는 바를 제언하였다.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the distribution rate of R&D input on R&D output in major manufacturing industrial sector. The distribution rate is estimated on time-series data for the period 1980 to 1996. The data used in this study can be divided into the two categories. 1) R&D output data (Patent, Utility) 2) R&D input data (R&D expenditure, R&D workers) The raw data of R&D expenditure is transformed into R&D stock. And the specific production function is used to represent the interaction between R&D input and output. The production function shows the maximum rate of R&D output that can be achieved by certain given, technologically possible, R&D input combinations. The main findings can be summarized as follows. 1) There was a diminishing return between R&D input and output$(\alpha+\beta<1). 2) R&D output growth was more affected by R&D expenditures than R&D workers. 3) R&D workers were more contributed highly to Patent granted than Utility model.

수량과 수질 양면에서의 '물위기'를 극복하 수 있는 공공정책 개발을 위해 두 가지 접근방법으로 수도사업의 국민경제적 역할을 고찰하고자 했다. 먼저 급속한 산업화와 도시화로 인해 물소비가 급증한 시기인 1978-1994년 동안의 물소비와 경제성장간의 관계를 살펴보았다. 물의 총수요와 부문별 수요의 가격 및 소득탄력성을 분석하였다. 둘째, 단기적으로 수자원 문제를 분석할 수 있는 투입-산출(I-O, input-output)모형을 개발하였다. 통상적인 I-O 모형을 고찰한 뿐만 아니라 그 응용으로서 i) 공급유도 투입-산출모형을 이용한 부문별 공급지장비용 평가와, ii) 레온디에프 가격모형을 이용한 수도요금 상승으로 인한 부문별 물가파급효과분석을 다루었다. 결론적으로 가장 주목할 만한 정책적 시사점은 수도부문에 대한 트자와 물공급장애가 생활수준과 산업생산에 큰 영향을 미치지만, 절수를 고무하고 투자재원을 확보할 목적의 수도요금 인상은 물수요를 유의하게 감소시키지만 전반적 물가수준에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

India is a developing nation and heavily spends on the development of wind power plants to meet the national energy demand. The objective of this paper is to investigate wind power potential of Ennore site using wind data collected over a period of two years by three parameter Weibull distribution. The Weibull parameters are estimated using maximum likelihood, least square method and moment method and the accuracy is determined using R² and root mean square error values. The site specific capacity factor is calculated by the mathematical model developed by three parameter Weibull distribution at different hub heights above the ground level. At last, the wind energy economic analysis is carried out using capacity factor at 30 m, 40 m and 50 m height for different wind turbine models. The analysis showed that the site has potential to install utility wind turbines to generate energy at the lowest cost per kilowatt-hour at height of 50 m. This research provides information of wind characteristics of potential sites and helps in selecting suitable wind turbine.
