SOCIAL REPRODUCTION IN SOUTH KOREA: THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN THE FIELDS OF EDUCATION, LABOR, AND HOUSING
Creators: name: Ha, Yoonbin
Publisher: name: ProQuest
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 44
subject: Human society

description: This dissertation seeks to address the question of how the state has contributed to social reproduction in South Korea. Korea has achieved rapid economic growth and the transition to electoral democracy. However, many Koreans call their country “Hell-Joseon” because they think that the contemporary Korean society is hell-like and class-based. There used to be a chain of strategies for Koreans to climb the social hierarchy. They poured their resources to send their children to prestigious universities. Then, these college graduates had a higher probability of getting stable and well-paying jobs. Finally, the families could (re)produce more wealth by investing the newly acquired economic capital, especially in the housing market. This social mobility, however, has gradually disappeared since the 1990s. Against this background, I investigate how the state’s policies in the education, labor, and housing fields has contributed to the disappearance of social mobility and making of contemporary Koreans, using Bourdieu’s theory on social reproduction and the state. Main findings of this dissertation are as follows: As the state set economic growth as the supreme goal, policies in the three fields also purported to increase economic growth and headed in a way that the social actors with more economic capital would be at an advantage. With the abolition of the private education ban and changes of entrance systems to higher education, economic capital, mostly stored in the form of housing and other real estates in Korea, has become an important resource to win the field of education. The state’s policies about labor union, wage, and labor flexibilization led to less employment protection and less income for average Koreans. However, the increase of housing price has been much faster than the increase of income, as the state approached housing as a commodity to sell and implemented policies to facilitate sales of apartment units. The ownership of housing in certain areas strongly has affected the volume of economic capital and probability of social success. As a result, social mobility has gradually disappeared and Koreans, who embody the dominant’s ideas of competition, economic stability, and discrimination about the socially disadvantaged, have been reproduced through their strategic practices to win and survive through the fields’ transformation.

description: Permeable porous coatings on a flat solid support significantly impact its electrostatic and electrokinetic properties. Existing work has focused on simplified cases, such as weakly charged and/or thick porous films, with limited theoretical guidance. Here, we consider the general case of coatings of any given volume charge density and obtain analytic formulas for electrostatic potential profiles, valid for any film thickness and salt concentration. They allow us to calculate analytically the difference between potentials at solid support and at interface with an outer electrolyte, that is the key parameter ascertaining the functionality of permeable coatings. Our analysis provides a framework for interpreting and predicting specific for porous films super-properties, from an enhanced ion absorption to a giant amplification of electro-osmotic flows. The results are relevant for hydrogel and zeolite coatings, porous carbon and ion-exchange resins, polyelectrolyte brushes, and more.

description: We perform a systematic study of the one-loop renormalizability of all Poisson-Lie T-dualizable $\si$-models with two-dimensional targets. We show that whatever Drinfeld double and whatever matrix of coupling constants we consider the corresponding $\si$-model is always one-loop renormalizable in the strict field theoretical sense. Moreover, in all cases, the RG flow in the space of the coupling constants is compatible with the Poisson-Lie T-duality.

description: Viroids are unique RNA entities that infect higher plants. Their non-coding genome provides a specific structural signature that withdraws host factors to ensure its replication, movement and pathogenesis. PSTVd is a nuclear localized viroid that uses the cellular RNA pol II to multiply its genome by an asymmetric mode of rolling circle mechanism. PSTVd infects different types of crops, causing disturbances in their growth and development, which leads to reduced yields and economic losses. We study the PSTVd response of two Bulgarian pepper cultivars (Kurtovska kapia and Djulunska shipka) at 43 day post infection (dpi) by applying a next-generation RNA sequencing. At the phenotype level, the two pepper cultivars showed a difference in the severity and timing of symptoms. At molecular level, the comparison of transcriptome data uncovered multiple altered genes, some of which showed opposite expression patterns in the two cultivars. Some of them were associated with hormonal signalling and ROS scavenging action, and selected for further analysis by RT-qPCR. The obtained data might highlight the pepper cultivar-specific defense mechanisms against PSTVd.

description: We present the results of Chandra observations of six radio-loud quasars (RLQs) and one optically bright radio-quiet quasar (RQQ) at z = 4.1-4.4. These observations cover a representative sample of RLQs with moderate radio-loudness (R ~ 40-400), filling the X-ray observational gap between optically selected RQQs and the five known blazars at z > 4 (R ~ 800-27000). We study the relationship between X-ray luminosity and radio-loudness for quasars at high redshift and constrain RLQ X-ray continuum emission and absorption. From a joint spectral fit of nine moderate-R RLQs observed by Chandra, we find tentative evidence for absorption above the Galactic N_H, with a best-fit neutral intrinsic column density of N_H = 2.4^{+2.0}_{-1.8} x 10^{22} cm^{-2}, consistent with earlier claims of increased absorption toward high-redshift RLQs. We also search for evidence of an enhanced jet-linked component in the X-ray emission due to the increased energy density of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at high redshift, but we find neither spatial detections of X-ray jets nor a significant enhancement in the X-ray emission relative to comparable RLQs at low-to-moderate redshifts. Overall, the z ~ 4-5 RLQs have basic X-ray properties consistent with comparable RLQs in the local universe, suggesting that the accretion/jet mechanisms of these objects are similar as well.

description: A new formulation of simple D=4 supergravity in terms of the geometry of superspace is presented. The formulation is derived from the gauge theory of the inhomogeneous orthosymplectic group IOSp(3,1|4) on a (4,4)-dimensional base supermanifold by imposing constraints and taking a limit. Both the constraints and the limiting procedure have a clear {\it a priori} physical motivation, arising from the relationship between IOSp(3,1|4) and the super Poincaré group. The construction has similarities with the space-time formulation of Newtonian gravity.

description: The paper aims to enrich the debate on the overvaluation/undervaluation of China yuan Renminbi (CNY) against USD and JPY by applying the concept of the Debt-Adjusted Real Exchange Rate (DARER). This approach is offering to monetary policy makers another indicator for more responsive management of this important economic variable. The general motivation for constructing DARER is the fact that long-term current account surplus (deficits) is linked with capital outflows (inflows), which often leads to real undervaluation (overvaluation) of domestic currency. DARER can signal to the authorities that the real exchange rate is becoming unsustainable in the medium term. Based on the DARER approach we also introduce three indicators of exchange rate misalignment.

FERTILITY RESPONSE TO FINANCIAL INCENTIVES: Evidence from the Working Families Tax Credit in the UK

description: The introduction of the 1999 Working Families Tax Credit (WFTC) in the UK encouraged low income families with children to enter the labor market. The tax credit, however, may have had the unintended side effect of increasing the childbearing of these households. While many studies have looked at the importance of WFTC on the female labor supply, only few have estimated the impact it had on fertility decisions of British families. This paper employs the 1995 to 2003 British Household Panel Survey and identifies the policy impact of WFTC by observing the change in the probability of birth as well as the timing of birth using the difference in differences estimator. The main findings of this paper suggest that single women responded to the policy introduction by reducing the probability of birth and prolonging the birth intervals across all birth parity. For women with partners, on the other hand, the estimates indicate that financial incentives did not encourage them to enter motherhood but it rather induced women to have their second birth quicker.

description: We provide a model of the links between commercialisation and technological progress, which is consistent with the historical evidence and places market relations at the heart of the industrial revolution. First, commercialisation raised wages as a growing reliance on impersonal labour market transactions in place of customary relations with a high degree of monitoring led to the adoption of efficiency wages. Second, commercialisation lowered interest rates as a growing reliance on impersonal capital market transactions in place of active investor involvement in investment projects led investors to allow borrowers to keep a larger share of the profits. Third, the resulting rise in the wage/cost of capital ratio led to the adoption of a more capital-intensive technology. Fourth, this led to a faster rate of technological progress through greater learning by doing on the capital intensive production technology. Fifth, the rate of technological progress was raised further by the patent system, which allowed the commercialisation of property rights in innovations embodied in machinery.

description: Implantation is a complex process of interactions between the embryo and the endometrium, a layer of mucous membrane on the inner surface of the uterus. The embryo qualities making it fit for embedding, endometrium receptivity, as well as the exchange of multiple molecules between embryo and endometrium, determine whether and when is the best time for pregnancy to occur. In the context of a larger study we are conducting on the dynamics of microRNA expression in endometrium, an objective assessment of the endometrial phases is necessary. Here we present the outcome of endometrial phase assessment by applying a set of criteria in combination with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration which is considered to cause ovulation within 36-48 hours and allow for more accurate secretory phase dating.
 Endometrial biopsies were taken from 7 volunteers, outpatient and without anesthesia. Ultrasound measurements of leading follicle and endometrial thickness, together with eestradiol and luteinizing hormone levels were set as criteria for hCG application. It was applied on a strictly individual day for each patient as an inducer of ovulation. Biopsies were planned individually for each woman and conducted at 4 time points – hGC (before hormone application), hGC+2, hGC+7 and hGC+9 (numbers are days after hCG application). Part of each biopsy material was subjected to a classic histological examination by staining with hematoxylin and eosin, and the morphological evaluation was done according to the Noyes criteria. Quality and informative histological preparations for all 4 time points were produced only for 5 of the 7 volunteers. We observed that the histological descriptions at hGC+7 and hGC+9 time points showed no absolute compliance with the Noyes criteria for the corresponding secretory phases for some of the individuals.
 Thus, we created a new group of endometrial samples according to the Noyes criteria that correspond to the mid-secretory phase which includes 4 samples from LH+9 and 1 sample from LH+7. We consider it as the most representative pool of the most suitable period in receptivity terms to be used to analyze the dynamics of microRNA expression in the next stage of the ongoing project.

description: We consider banking panic transmission in a two-bank setting, in which the main propagator of a shock across banks is the informational spillover channel. Banks are perceived to be positively connected to some unobserved macroeconomic fundamental. Depositors in each bank are assumed to noisily observe their bankís idiosyncratic fundamental. The game takes a dynamic bayesian setting with depositors of one bank, making their decision to withdraw after observing the event in the other bank. We show that, if this public event is used for bayesian inference about the state of the common macroeconomic fundamental, then, in the equilibrium proÖle of the game, contagion and correlation both occur with positive probability, with contagion modeled as a state-contingent change in the cross-bank correlation. Such endogenous characterisation of probabilistic assessments of contagion and correlation, has the appealing feature that it enables us to distill between these two concepts as equilibrium phenomena and to assess their relative importance in a given banking panic transmission setting. We show that contagion is characterised by public informational dominance in depositors' decision set.
Fast Friends with Benefits: Using a Modified Fast-Friends Paradigm to Improve Sexual Satisfaction, a Pilot Study

description: Prior research has found plentiful correlational evidence that sexual self-disclosure is linked to sexual satisfaction. Furthermore, there have been two proposed pathways for this mechanism as a whole. The first is the expressive pathway, which states that through self-disclosure the couple comes closer together and thus the overall relationship improves as a whole, thus leading to greater sexual satisfaction. The second is the instrumental pathway, which states that sexual self-disclosure is linked to greater understanding of one’s partner’s sexual desires and needs, and as such the sex improves. However, no research to date has tested this association for causality. In order to manipulate self-disclosure, I piloted a modified fast-friends paradigm dubbed the fast-friends with benefits to potentially improve the sexual satisfaction of couples in new romantic relationships. The results of this pilot show that the fast-friends-with benefits has promise to demonstrate causality, and potentially serve as an intervention that can be used by the broad public to improve their sexual relationships.

Creators: name: Choi, Young il
Publisher: name: American University

description: This paper offers the first empirical account for the impacts of uncertainty and credit risk on corporate investment in Korea. For the empirical investigation, we propose a new approach, the risk sensitivity of investment. A new measure of firm-level uncertainty is constructed using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Independent of credit risk, the "delevered" asset uncertainty can identify the real options effect. A sample split by debt regime identifies the role of risky debt in terms of the agency cost. The risk sensitivity approach also offers a new test for the financial constraints. The empirical findings show that financial frictions are powerful conduits of uncertainty shocks. Both the credit risk and the real options channels have significant dampening effects on investment.

description: While herding has long been suspected to play a role in financial market booms and busts, theoretical analyses have struggled to identify conclusive causes for the effect. Recent theoretical work shows that informational herding is possible in a market with efficient asset prices if information is bi-polar, and contrarianism is possible with single-polar information. We present an experimental test for the validity of this theory, contrasting with all existing experiments where rational herding was theoretically impossible and subsequently not observed. Overall we observe that subjects generally behave according to theoretical predictions, yet the fit is lower for types who have the theoretical potential to herd. While herding is often not observed when predicted by theory, herding (sometimes irrational) does occur. Irrational contrarianism in particular leads observed prices to substantially differ from the efficient benchmark. Alternative models of behavior, such as risk aversion, loss aversion or error correction, either perform quite poorly or add little to our understanding.

description: The intent of this letter is to point out that the accretion of a ghost condensate by black holes could be extremely efficient. We analyze steady-state spherically symmetric flows of the ghost fluid in the gravitational field of a Schwarzschild black hole and calculate the accretion rate. Unlike minimally coupled scalar field or quintessence, the accretion rate is set not by the cosmological energy density of the field, but by the energy scale of the ghost condensate theory. If hydrodynamical flow is established, it could be as high as tenth of a solar mass per second for 10MeV-scale ghost condensate accreting onto a stellar-sized black hole, which puts serious constraints on the parameters of the ghost condensate model.

subject: Exchange Rate Regimes

description: Currency boards have often been at the heart of monetary reforms proposed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF): they have been instrumental either as a short term crisis management strategy that successfully restores financial order for many countries seeking stabilization in the aftermath of prolonged economic crisis or as a way of importing monetary credibility as part of a medium / long term strategy for conducting monetary policy. As backbone of a credible exchange-rate based stabilisation programme, they have also been the linchpin of several heterodox or orthodox programmes aimed at mitigating hyperinflation. This paper attempts to synthetize our thinking about currency boards by reviewing their strengths and weaknesses and endeavours to seek real world examples to rationalise their applicability as opposed to alternative exchange rate regimes. Architects of international financial stability at the IMF or at central banks often ponder about the prerequisites for such programme to work well. These are also reviewed using appropriate economic theory where necessary. Finally, this paper sheds light on the best exchange rate regime that may be adopted in the intermediate term by those countries wishing to adopt a currency board, not as a quick fix solution to end an economic chaos but rather, as integral part of a long term monetary strategy.

description: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is increasingly recommended for clinical use, but more knowledge about the prevalence and variability in ABPM-derived phenotypes in the general population is needed. We describe these parameters in the community-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) cohort. We examined 5881 men and women aged 50–64 with 24-hour ABPM recordings using validated monitors. ABPM phenotypes were defined according to European guidelines. White coat hypertension was defined as elevated office BP (≥140/90 mmHg) with normal mean ambulatory BP (<135/85 mmHg in day-time, <120/70 mmHg in night-time, <130/80 mmHg over 24-h); and masked hypertension as normal office BP (<140/90 mmHg) with elevated mean ambulatory BP (≥135/85 mmHg in day-time, ≥120/70 mmHg in night-time, ≥130/80 mmHg over 24-h). Blood pressure variability was assessed using the coefficient of variation (CV), standard deviation (SD), and average real variability. Based on the ABPM recordings, 36.9% of participants had 24-h hypertension, 40.7% had day-time hypertension, and 37.6% nocturnal hypertension. Among participants treated with anti-hypertensive drugs, one in three had elevated office blood pressures, and more than half had elevated 24-h, day-time or nocturnal blood pressures. Among participants without anti-hypertensive drugs, only one in six had elevated office blood pressures, but one in three had elevated 24-h, day-time or nocturnal blood pressures. Men had higher 24-h blood pressures, more masked hypertension, but less white-coat hypertension than women. The prevalence of white-coat hypertension increased with age, but not the prevalence of masked hypertension. A positive association between blood pressure level and variability was observed, and within-person and between-person SD and CV were of similar magnitude. The variance in ABPM on repeated measurements was substantial. In the middle-aged general population, masked hypertension is an underappreciated problem on the population level.
Financial Systems, Micro-Systemic Risks and Central Bank Policy: An Analytical Taxonomy of the Literature

description: This paper reviews and categorises the literature on micro-systemic risks and on optimal policies designed to mitigate these risks. Micro-systemic risks are risks to the financial system that occur when the interaction of a bank with other banks or with financial markets, can propagate an initially localised shock to the whole financial system and can prevent the latter from fulfilling its intermediation and distributional roles. The severe episodes of financial crises that have plagued economies - developed and emerging markets alike - have made more compelling, the need for policymakers such as central banks, to develop prudential tools as part of crisis prevention and crisis management policies. We review the success of these policies under different theoretical paradigms. The paper ends with a brief synopsis of financial accelerator models which stress on how imperfections in financial markets may magnify the swings and intensity of business cycles and have a more entrenched impact on the macroeconomy.

description: We study the quantization problem of relativistic scalar and spinning particles interacting with a radiation electromagnetic field by using the path integral and the external source method. The spin degrees of freedom are described in terms of Grassmann variables and the Feynman kernel is obtained through functional integration on both Bose and Fermi variables. We provide rigourous proof that the Feynman amplitudes are only determined by the classical contribution and we explicitly evaluate the propagators.

Overlapping Dimensions of Informality in Urban India

Subjects: classificationCode: 38
subject: Economics

description: Informality – broadly defined as that which falls ‘outside the purview of the state’ – is a key feature of India’s growing cities and towns. This paper examines the relationship between informality in employment and housing. In particular, how does a household’s informality in employment affect its housing outcomes? The conceptual framework developed identifies key features of informal employment, and proposes mechanisms through which they can make a household more likely to live in informal housing. The empirical analyses using the India Human Development Survey support the proposition that households with more informal employment types are more likely to live in informal housing due to factors such as low income, volatile income, low employment security, high opportunity cost of time, and barriers in the housing and financial markets. In the short-term however, households who do experience a change in employment type (proxied by primary source of income), are observed to have relatively small reductions in the likelihood of being housing deprived. This suggests that changes in housing outcomes may be slow and subject to frictions. Complementary barriers may also need to be alleviated for improvements in employment conditions to affect housing outcomes. Results also highlight how factors such as education and social group (caste and religion), which are closely tied to both employment and housing outcomes in the Indian context, play a significant role in driving the overlap. The main findings are robust to two alternative measures of employment informality. This suggests that when data are scarce, the coarser measure, primary income source, can reasonably capture differences in household level employment that matter for housing outcomes. This paper’s main argument, that the precarity of informal employment makes households more likely to live in informal housing, implies that part of the solution to informal housing lies in employment conditions. This provides yet another argument for strengthening social protection and policies promoting decent employment. Solutions to address employment related barriers in the housing and financial market are also important. Finally, this paper makes the broader assertion that urban informality is multidimensional: a considerable share of households face informality, precarity and exclusion in multiple facets of their lives. Therefore, more integrated efforts to reduce the burdens that informality places on the residents, are crucial for inclusive, equal, and resilient cities.
