저의 주요 연구 관심은 환경경제학과 기후변화 대응 정책입니다. 특히 한국 배출권거래제(K-ETS)가 기업의 재무성과와 경쟁력에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하는 데 중점을 두고 있습니다. 연구 방법론으로는 이중차분(Difference-in-Differences) 분석과 패널 회귀분석을 활용하여, 배출권 할당 방식(무상·유상)과 계획기간별 제도 변화가 기업의 매출, ROA, 당기순이익 등에 미치는 차이를 규명하고자 합니다. 또한 신재생에너지 발전량 예측오차, 전력시장 가격(SMP), 에너지저장장치(ESS)와 같은 변수들이 경제성과에 미치는 영향을 탐구하고 있으며, 장기적으로는 탄소시장, ETS 정책 평가, 전력시장과 환경정책의 상호작용에 관심을 두고 있습니다. My primary research interests lie in environmental economics and climate change policy. In particular, I focus on the empirical analysis of how the Korean Emissions Trading Scheme (K-ETS) affects corporate financial performance and competitiveness. My research employs Difference-in-Differences (DiD) and panel regression methods to examine how allocation methods (free vs. paid) and changes across compliance periods influence firms’ revenue, ROA, and net income. I am also interested in exploring the impact of renewable energy forecast errors, system marginal price (SMP), and energy storage systems (ESS) on economic outcomes. In the long term, I aim to study carbon markets, ETS policy evaluation, and the interaction between power markets and environmental policies.
