-제목 : Modeling the Economic Impacts of Korean Unication -저자 : Warwick J. McKibbin, Jong Wha Lee(소장), Weifeng Liu, Cheol Jong Song -출판정보 : Asian Economic Journal Volume 32, Issue 3, September 2018   논문 초록   This paper explores the economic impacts of Korean unification on North and South Korea. It presents a new consistent database on macroeconomic, sectoral and trade data, and an input–output table for the North Korean economy, and then incorporates it in a global intertemporal multi‐sector general equilibrium model. Assuming hypothetical scenarios such as North Korea's reform and gradual convergence, its sudden collapse and immediate unification, and chaos and crises in both Koreas, we quantify the consequences of Korean unification on economic activity, trade and capital flows in the two Koreas. The results highlight the importance of the unification processes and of alternative policy responses in both Koreas to the economic impacts of unification.

North Korea’s Economic Integration and Growth Potential (이종화 소장)

-제목 : North Korea’s Economic Integration and Growth Potential -저자 : JongWha Lee(소장), Ju Hyun Pyun -출판정보 : Asian Economic Journal Volume 32, Issue 3, September 2018   논문 초록   The growth projections based on cross‐country evidence show that North Korea could achieve higher economic growth in the long run if it embarks on substantial policy reforms toward a market‐oriented and open economy. Using an empirical gravity model of trade and direct investment, we forecast that, when the two Koreas pursue economic integration and cooperation without military conflicts, North Korea's trade with South Korea can increase by up to 36 percent of North Korea's GDP and its foreign direct investment (FDI) flows from South Korea by up to 6 percent of GDP. Overall, by promoting trade and FDI integration with South Korea, North Korea can boost its GDP growth by approximately 3 percentage points per year. Combined with a market‐oriented reform, the North Korean economy could grow by approximately 4.7 percent per year over the coming decades. Conversely, if more rigid sanctions imposed on North Korea become effective, its trade and investment will decrease and its GDP growth rate is expected to fall by approximately 2 percentage points per year.

Service Sector Productivity and Economic Growth in Asia (이종화 소장)

2019.10.25 Views 1242

-제목 :Service Sector Productivity and Economic Growth in Asia -저자 : Jong-Wha Lee(소장), Warwick J. McKibbin -출판정보 :Economic modelling Volume 74, August 2018   논문 초록   The paper explores the historical experience of productivity growth in the Asian economies over recent decades, with a focus on the service sector. Based on this historical experience, the paper then evaluates the impact of more rapid growth in labor productivity in the service sector in Asia using an empirical general equilibrium model that allows for goods and capital movements across sectors and economies, and consumption and investment dynamics. We find that faster productivity growth in the service sector in Asia contributes to sustained and balanced growth of Asian economies, but the dynamic adjustment is different across economies. In particular, during the adjustment to higher services productivity growth, there is a significant expansion of the durable manufacturing sector that is required to provide the capital stock that accompanies higher economic growth.

-제목 : 사회적 약자와 소수자의 사회정의와 인권에 대한 한국인의 인식 -저자 : 윤인진(부소장), 송영호 -출판정보 : 19(1), 2018.6   논문 초록   본 연구의 목적은 사회적 약자와 소수자의 사회정의와 인권에 대한 한국인의 인식 을 경험적으로 진단하고 사회적 약자와 소수자의 인권 증진을 위한 정책을 제언하 는데 있다. 이를 위해 2017년 9월부터 11월까지 1,025명의 일반인 설문조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 사회정의를 인정, 공감, 공존의 관점에서 조명하고 사회정의 의 실현 조건에 대한 인식을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과 일반인은 사회정의 의 실현을 위한 우선 조건으로 모든 사람을 인격적으로 대우하는 것을 1순위로 뽑 았다. 사회정의를 분배의 문제로 보는 사회적 통념과 다른 결과였다. 하지만 사회적 약자와 소수자가 우리 사회에서 인정받는 수준은 보통 이하라고 평가하였다. 특히 성소수자에 대한 관심, 친밀도, 권리 부여 정도가 낮다고 평가하였다. 사회적 약자 와 소수자에 대한 사회적 공감 정도 역시 낮게 평가하였다. 다수자와 소수자의 공 존에 대해서 일반인은 이주민 집단을 사회 구성원으로 받아들이는데 일정 정도 한 계를 가진다고 인식하였다. 그리고 이주민들이 사회에 미치는 긍부정 효과를 동시 에 인정하고 있지만 그들의 전통과 생활습관을 포기하도록 강요하지 않았다. 이와 같은 연구결과에 근거하여 사회적 약자와 소수자의 인권 증진을 위한 정책으로 인 권 관련 법 제도 시설의 보완과 강화, 사회적 약자/소수자와 일반국민의 인권의식 과 다문화수용성 증대, 소수자-다수자의 접촉과 교류협력의 증진, 인권친화적 매스 미디어의 개발, 사회적 약자와 소수자의 역량강화를 제안했다.

사회계층과 고교유형이 대학 진학에 미치는 영향 -졸업 첫 해 진학생을 중심으로- (윤인진 부소장)

-제목 : Hate Speech against Immigrants in Korea: A Text Mining Analysis of Comments on News about Foreign Migrant Workers and Korean Chinese Residents -저자 : In-Jin Yoon(부소장), Ki-Duk Han(총괄간사), HeeSang Kim -출판정보 : Asia Review 8(1), 2018.8.   논문 초록   This study aims to examine the degree and patterns of hate speech against foreign migrant workers and Korean Chinese in Korea. We gathered news articles about the two groups posted from January 2005 to December 2014 and used text mining analysis to examine the words in the news articles with the largest number of comments. Results show that the most common type of discriminatory and hateful expressions for the two groups was crime-related one and the next common type was economy-related one. However, there were significant inter-group differences. Foreign migrant workers were more frequently viewed as economic threats to native Koreans and racial and nationality issues were more frequently mentioned. By contrast, Korean Chinese were more likely to be related with crime or fear of crime and ethnicity or compatriot issues were more commonly reported. The level of discriminatory perceptions and hateful expressions was stronger against Korean Chinese.This study aims to examine the degree and patterns of hate speech against foreign migrant workers and Korean Chinese in Korea.

Acculturative stress as a mental health predictor of North Korean refugees in South Korea (윤인진 부소장)

-제목 : Acculturative stress as a mental health predictor of North Korean refugees in South Korea -저자 : Hwajin Shin, In-Jin Yoon(부소장) -출판정보 : Asian and Pacic Migration Journal 27(3), 2018.8.   논문 초록 South Korea is an emerging immigration destination where over half of the country’s immigrant population are ethnic return migrants. Thus far, little attention has been given to the effect of acculturation on the mental health of coethnic migrants in non-traditional immigration states such as South Korea. Using 2010 survey data on 1,200 North Korean refugees, this study examines the effect of preserving cultural norms and practices from the home country on the mental health of North Koreans in the South. Based on an acculturation typology, we categorize respondents into four groups based on their attitudes toward home and host cultures. Given South Korea’s homogenous context, our cluster analyses extracted two acculturation types—the integrated and the assimilated groups. The finding that integrated or bicultural individuals had better mental health status than assimilated individuals underscores the crucial role of the culture of origin in attenuating acculturative distress for coethnic migrants in South Korea.
