연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

Abstract AI-Helper 아이콘AI-Helper

This paper examines the potentialities for a still-socialist DPRK economic policy, international financial assistance, and North Korean economic performance. it also examines the potential economic ramifications of a DPRK shift to something like “defense sufficiency,” from its current ...

  20. “C.i.f.” stands for “cost, insurance and freight,” and refers to the difference in price between the actual purchase of merchandise in a foreign country and the ultimate expense of bringing the merchandise to the importing country. In the figures cited here we assume that the DPRK's c.i.f. costs add a flat 10% to reported purchase prices for merchandise. This 10% markup is standard practice by the IMF and other organizations in cases where actual c.i.f. charges are unknown. 

  21. Note that we are examining only public sources of finance here-the potential for private finance could be an additional and possibly very important source of international revenue for a more “normal” DPRK, but that issue should be left for a different discussion.

  24. If the package were somewhat “front-loaded,” as might also possibly be arranged, it might be structured to provide more during the first five years of the agreement, with less in the out-years: for example, $1.6 billion annually for the initial period, $800 million annually for the out-years. 

  25. We have explicitly avoided consideration of a possible resurrection of KEDO or a KEDO-like vehicle for political aid here. Such an institution, of course, might figure in the transfer of political aid to a “post-bold switchover” DPRK.

Yet such a figure may nevertheless suggest an upper boundary of plausible ODA commitments to a reforming DPRK, considering the scale of potential reconstruction that might be required in the initial years after a “bold switchover.”

  31. The Population of North Korea Eberstadt Nicholas 1992 

  32. Literacy levels, for example, bear upon a population's capabilities in productive employment. Urbanization levels tell us about the proportion of population that lives in non-rural areas-a broad indication of the level of productivity that has been attained by local agriculture, and more generally, about the level of complexity and differentiation in a population's labor force. Life-expectancy levels tell us about the health and thus the productive potential (“human capital”) in a population. 

  33. The reason for the “semi-log” specification is that the semi-log curve happens more or less to match the patterns that have been observed internationally between illiteracy, urbanization, and life expectancy levels on the one hand and per capita output levels on the other (Our semi-log functions also allow us to estimate particular “elasticities”: the predicted percentage impact on per capita or per capita GNP for a point change in literacy, urbanization, etc.). 

  34. The only exception to this generalization concerned the “statistical significance” of the illiteracy rate when life expectancy levels were also being examined-in three out of four such equations the coefficient for the illiteracy rate did not meet the basic 5% confidence test. This seems to be due to the strong evident “collinearity” between illiteracy and life expectancy. 

  35. Our use of these “structural equations” to predict the economic performance of an “ordinary communist” DPRK rises a number of technical econometric questions, the most acute of these perhaps bearing on the issue of “heteroskedacity” in our regression results. (“Heteroskedacity,” one may recall, is the non-random distribution of errors in predicted OLS results-a phenomenon often especially characteristic in the sort of cross-sectional regressions we have just computed here.) Examination of the regression results in Tables 1-4 does indeed reveal some “heteroskedacity” in these “structural equations.” More specifically, our residuals showed a slight positive association with the reported value of a country's per capita exports or its per capita GNI. This means that our equations have some tendency to “overpredict” true per capita exports or per capita GNI when those quantities are low, and to “underpredict” them when those quantities are high. Fortunately, those biases were rather limited, as the relatively high “R-squared” values in our OLS equations might in themselves suggest. In the range of predicted values for per capita exports and per capita GNI most relevant to the DPRK in our equations, moreover, the distribution of errors generated by our equations did not appreciably deviate from zero.

  37. Another qualification to be noted is that the estimates generated by our 1980 equations would be in current 1980 dollars, while our 2000 equations generate estimates in 2000 dollars. Full standardization would require a deflator to link the two. We should note that, in an effort at “sensitivity analysis,” we replaced the export and GNI series from Tables 1-4 above with other export and per capita GNI or per capita GDP series available through the WDI dataset. All of the alternatives we tested revealed similar general relationships, and on the whole similar levels of statistical significance, to the equations presented in Tables 1-4-although the particular beta-coefficients for the independent variables naturally differed from one exercise to the next.

  39. In particular, the question of voluntary migration from DPRK to ROK-for economic or non-economic reasons-must be examined closely, especially in light of the ROK's constitutional guarantee to accept people from North Korea as ROK citizens. This issue is noted, but is beyond the scope of this paper.
