Nonproliferation Information and Attitude Change: Evidence From South Korea
No full text© The Author(s) 2022.What explains the foreign policy gap between elites and the general public on nuclear proliferation? We investigate specific contexts in which experts nonproliferation information changes public attitudes toward nuclear weapons development using a novel attitude change experiment. By randomly assigning seven categories of nonproliferation information to pro-armament survey participants, we examine how different types of nonproliferation information affect pro-armament respondents opinions and behavioral choices. The results of our experiment demonstrate the enlightening effect of economic sanctions information. After learning about the economic costs and consequences of nuclear weapons development, pro-armament respondents substantially changed their opinion as well as behaviors toward nuclear proliferation. In comparison to economic sanctions information, other types of nonproliferation information (e.g. conditional military punishment, normative sanctions, nuclear technology sanctions, elite or public opposition to proliferation) have limited effects on pro-armament subjects attitude changes. These findings are the first to identify the relative explanatory powers of previous explanations for nuclear nonproliferation at the individual level.N
Replication Data for Estimation of Media Slants in South Korean News Agencies Using News Reports on the Sewol Ferry Disaster
No full textThis data set is a replication data for "Estimation of Media Slants in South Korean News Agencies Using News Reports on the Sewol Ferry Disaster." It contains two Rdata files, one bugs code, and one R code. The two Rdata files include phrase frequencies computed by preprocessed text document of news reports on the Sewol Ferry Disaster from 28 news agencies in South Korea. The R code implements main results of the analysis in the paper. The computation of the model is done by JAGS

What do aid recipients want? Public attitudes toward foreign aid in developing countries
No full textIndividuals in developing countries are the ultimate end users of foreign aid. While the international donor community has emphasized the importance of aligning aid with recipient countries' preferences, the literature on public opinion and foreign aid has remained largely focused on donors. Using an original conjoint experiment conducted in seven developing countries, we examine the determinants of public attitudes toward foreign aid in recipient countries. We find that the characteristics of donor countries and foreign aid projects significantly influence recipient attitudes, often more than the size of the aid packages themselves. Individuals in recipient countries consistently prefer aid from democracies and donors with transparent aid agencies, as well as aid delivered by international organizations rather than directly from donor countries' aid agencies. These findings underscore the importance of multilateral aid agencies in aligning the preferences of donors and recipients.N
Why your neighbor matters: Positions in preferential trade agreement networks and export growth in global value chains
Full text linkIn rapidly expanding global and regional preferential trade agreements (PTA) networks, policy‐makers are keen to situate their countries in a better position, believing that a better position in PTA networks will help their economies trade more and grow faster. In this paper, we provide a theory that explains how changes in countries’ PTA network positions affect their trade performance. We argue that a dense and deep “neighbor network” provides a country with a wide access to global value chains, better protection to investment, and strong credibility to their policy commitments. To measure trade performance, we compute value‐added exports at the country, year, and industry level across 43 countries, 56 industries, and 15 years (2000–14). The estimation of network position effects is done by panel fixed‐effects methods and the sample‐splitting and cross‐fitting double machine‐learning method. The findings show that as a country’s neighbors have deeper and wider PTA networks, the country’s value‐added exports grow faster. Also, the industry‐level analysis shows that sectors heavily engaging in the fragmentation of production stages exhibit faster growth with the improvement of neighbor networks.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/163429/2/ecpo12152.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/163429/1/ecpo12152_am.pd
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
A Study on the Factors Affecting Consumer Satisfaction in Internet Shopping
No full text본 논문은 인터넷상의 소비자의 구매활동에 대한 포괄적인 연구가 필요하다는 인식을 바탕으로 고객만족에 초점을 맞춰 인터넷상에서의 쇼핑시 고객만족에 영향을 미치는 요인을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 고객만족과 관련된 이론과 인터넷 쇼핑의 맥락에서 수행된 실증적 연구들을 고찰하였다. 이를 토대로 주요 만족요인들을 중심으로 연구 과제를 도출하고 향후 연구방향에 대하여 논의하였다.This paper deals with the factors influencing satisfaction of internet shoppers.

Origins of International Development and Cooperation and Its Structural Change: Continuity and Change
No full text왜 잘 사는 국가의 시민들은 자신들의 경제적 자원을 빈곤국에게 이전하는가?치열한 생존경쟁에 직면한 국가들이 다른 국가를 돕는 것은 도덕적 행위인가, 아니면 다른 목적을 위한 전략적 행위인가? 본 연구는 이러한 질문에 답하기 위해 근대 국가 간 원조의 역사적 기원을 추적하고 대외원조에 대한 국제정치가 어떠한 구조적 변화를 겪어 왔는가를 설명하고자 한다. 본 연구는 근대 국가 간 원조의 역사적 기원이 영국의 식민지발전법과 미국의 포인트포 프로그램이라는 이질적 정책에 있다고 주장한다. 제국주의와 냉전이 원조레짐에 남긴 영향은 원조의 다자화를 거치면서 중요한 변화를 겪게 되는데, 그 핵심에 원조 관련 국제기구의 역할 증가가 놓여 있다. 개발원조라는 주제영역은 공여국의 외교정책적 도구에서 츨발했으나 수원국의 발전이라는 목적에 충실한 독자적인 국제레짐으로 등장하고 있다.Why do citizens in rich countries transfer their economic resources to citizens in poor countries? Why do countries in constant competition for survival in international relations help other countries? Is it a moral act or is it a strategic act for another purpose? In order to answer these questions, this paper investigates the historical origin of modern interstate aid and explains how the foreign aid regime has changed over time. I argue that the origin of modern interstate aid lies in the Colonial Development Act by the United Kingdom in 1929 and the Point Four Program by the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. This interstate aid regime has been through an important structural change in the latter part of the 20th century. The essence of the structural change is the delegation to international aid agencies and organizations from individual donor states. In doing so, the interstate aid regime has gradually jettisoned instrumental natures of foreign aid and turned itself into an intenrational regime of development and cooperation
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
