  • Korea Real Estate Market Report
    Vol. 5 Korea Real Estate Market Report 2016 Real Estate Market Trends and 2017 Outlook Real Estate Research Institute of KAB KAB Real Estate Market Report Greetings This is the fifth volume of the Korea Appraisal Board (KAB) Real Estate Market Report (2016 Real Estate Market Trends and 2017 Outlook). With the enactment of the Korea Appraisal Board Act in September 2016, KAB has undergone a transformation from an organization specializing in real estate appraisal to an organization dedicated to real estate market surveys and management as well as making announcements of official land value and related statistics. Maintaining order and stability in the Korean real estate market is an especially important task undertaken by KAB. The KAB Real Estate Market Report published semiannually in the first and second halves of the year provides reliable information on the real estate market including the future outlook, based on comprehensive and in-depth analyses of the current trends, with the aim of ensuring order in the real estate market. The real estate market in Korea in 2016 became more stable compared to the previous year due to the influence of the economic slowdown and the new loan restriction policy concerning tighter loan review regulations. Notable trends in the year included the overheated pre-construction parceling-out market for the Gangnam reconstruction projects and the rise in housing prices in the Seoul Capital Area; however, following the announcement of the real estate policy on November 3, 2016 speculative investments declined, and the market became more stabilized centering on actual demand. Also, in some of the regions outside the Seoul Capital Area, real estate prices began to be on a downturn as a result of an industrial recession and increased housing supply.

  • A Spatial Structure of Agglomeration Pattern Near High-Speed Rail Station of Korea and Japan
    Journal of the Korean Association of Geographic Information Studies, 21(4) 2018, pp. 14-25 ISSN 1226-9719(Print) https://doi.org/10.11108/kagis.2018.21.4.014 ISSN 2287-6952(Online) A Spatial Structure of Agglomeration Pattern Near High-Speed Rail Station of Korea and Japan Kyung-Taek KIM1·Jung-Hoon KIM2※ 한국과 일본 고속철도역 주변 집적 공간구조에 대한 관측 연구 김경택1·김정훈2※ 1 ABSTRACT The operation of high-speed rail (HSR) has an effect on the agglomeration economies, and the impact is shown as a relocation of individual firm and worker to where business activity can be maximized. The proximity to the HSR station could be considered as a core district to maximize the industrial benefit through the HSR network. From this perspective, this study considers the agglomeration effect of HSR within the HSR station-area and analyzed the agglomerated spatial pattern through hotspot analysis by service industry in the cases of Korea and Japan using GIS. This study analyzed the service industry within 1km distance from 8 HSR stations of Korea and 4 Kyushu Shinkansen stations of Japan. The results suggest that the hotspot patterns are observed in the service industry within 1km distance from the HSR station of Korea and Japan, except for two HSR stations of Gupo station and Kagoshima-Chuo station. Leisure, amusement, association, and other specific service industries could be affected by HSR passengers and knowledge-spillovers through HSR station. Therefore, the observed hotspot districts near the HSR station-area could explain an agglomeration pattern of the service industry through a closeness to the HSR station.

  • Kakao T Taxi in March 2015, Kakao Mobility Corp
    Report 20 18 CEO’s Message After the first publication last year, Kakao Mobility Corp. issued the second kakaomobility Report. Since its launch of Kakao T Taxi in March 2015, Kakao Mobility Corp. established its independent entity in August 2017, and introduced Kakao T by consolidating Kakao Taxi, Kakao Driver, Kakao Navi, and Kakao Parking. A large amount of travel data has been collected while Kakao Mobility Corp. has been committed to pursuing innovation. This Report shows our society’s dynamic aspects based on our collected mobility data. Many people have contributed to the publication of this Report. First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Kakao T users who have provided real time travel data. I also would like to thank taxi drivers and designated drivers for responding to surveys and interviews for this Report. Such valuable information will become a meaningful foundation for Kakao Mobility Corp. to improve customer services and constantly pursue innovation. With the age of digital transformation, the mobility industry worldwide has been experiencing a big change. In particular, travel innovation is considered as a meaningful innovation that can make many people’s life safer and more convenient and create more chances for a happier life by broadening the sphere of living. This mobility business is rapidly growing in a world of borderless competition. However, I am very worried that Korea may fall behind global competition and lose a chance to take the lead in innovation due to several regulations and conflicts. It’s time to make a bold leap forward to innovative growth at the national level.

    Industrial Organization Effects of High-Speed Rail Service Introduction in Korea Jisun Baek Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 c 2012 Jisun Baek All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Industrial Organization Effects of High-Speed Rail Service Introduction in Korea Jisun Baek The goal of this thesis is to investigate changes in consumers’ choices and their welfare due to the introduction of new products, taking firms’ reactions into con- sideration. I perform empirical analyses using Korean transportation industry data to evaluate the impact of high-speed train introduction on passenger travel. This work adds to the existing literature by considering the changes in product char- acteristics or the set of products offered to consumers after new product introduc- tion, and investigates how those changes affect consumer welfare. The analysis provides a rich insight into the transportation industry and the relationship be- tween the modes of transportation which contributes to enhancing the quality of government’s policies regarding related industries. The first part of my thesis investigates the changes in utilization of different modes of transportation in Korea after the introduction of high-speed train using a fixed effect model and a difference in differences model. My results show the significant impact of the introduction of high-speed train on the entire transporta- tion industry and provide evidence that modes of transportation not only compete but also complement each other. After high-speed trains were introduced in 2004, inter-city bus and airline industries lost their customers in routes where they di- rectly competed with high-speed rails, while the numbers of rail passengers in- creased.
