South Korea Public Policy Research Program

Climate crisis response; carbon neutrality

I will be conducting research on Canadian welfare and social assistance services for the elderly and on the design and implementation of programs for veterans.

Disaster Management Systems

My research topic is a study of Canada’s statistical estimation models and methodology, particularly in relation to the digital economy. I will be studying the methodology used by the OECD, IMF and the Canadian government regarding measurement of the digital economy with respect to planning improvements for Korea’s Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP).

I am interested in learning about estimation methods for theoretical research, basic data, data acquisition methods and processing flow charts as they are used in Canada’s Regional Input-Output statistics.

Transportation policy; airports, sustainable cities

My research focuses on an analysis of Canada's economic status, including economic growth, price, fiscal balance and successful investments. I will study major trends in Canadian industries after COVID-19 and will explore issues related to the expansion of economic exchange between Korea and Canada.

Canada's welfare policy for elders

Economic and cultural development of Canadian communities; welfare benefits for youth

Judicial Case Management System of Canadian Courts

My research study is on the regional economic status of Canada in the age of population reduction and low growth to inform policy to enhance regional economic development in Korea under the same conditions. I also will be looking at government policy regarding the utilization of un-used or vacant public land as it pertains to urban regeneration in Canada.

I am conducting an analysis and evaluation of the international community's de-nuclearization initiative, including an analysis of the push for denuclearization and nuclear containment in the policies of various nations.

I am conducting research on the actual taxation principle of tax laws and the law system in Canada. Actual taxation principle is the part that there are the conflicts between principle of no taxation without law and principle of taxation equality within the tax law system and it has the most arguments depending on the law system or the interpretation in tax law. Korea is still determining whether to apply it according to individual cases without suggesting a fundamental solution to addressing several problems that arise within the present Korean tax law system and its interpretation. The Canadian law system with its long history has established tax law regulations and interpretations on these issues. I am studying the Canadian actual taxation law system and comparing it with the Korean system and precedents to seek the direction of desirable actual taxation principles within the Korean tax law system.

I am interested in exploring the use and implementation of a plan to activate warrant interrogation of criminal suspects through video media. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the introduction of non-face-to-face trial judges using video systems at home and abroad has emerged as an urgent issue. I will investigate relevant overseas cases and current conditions to find a realistic way to activate video trials, including the warrant interrogation procedure for criminal suspects.
