This paper examines welfare policies and budget allocation of programs for different migrant groups in South Korea. The results of a budget allocation analysis show that social welfare policies for migrants predominantly focus on the group of marriage migrant women, whereas foreign workers are excluded from many welfare policies, although they comprise the majority of migrants in Korea. The concentration of welfare policies on marriage migrant women may result in program duplication and hinder the balanced treatment of migrants in Korea. A restructured allocation of the budget would contribute not only to promoting the successful integration of migrants but also to enhancing the efficiency of public expenditure.

Dissertation (Ph.D.(Economics)--National Institute of Development Administration, 2014 ; This dissertation examines the impact of government budget allocation (all inper capita unit) to inequality and poverty by single household level covered in 75provinces. The study is based on in-depth analysis the dynamic of governmentexpenditures and other factors such as inflation, gross provincial product (GPP) andunemployment to the two main welfare indicators (inequality and poverty). The studyapplied panel data analysis in provincial level. The study result shows thatgovernment budget allocations per capita from each ministry can alleviate theinequality in some extent; likewise can also reduce the poverty rate. Also if consideron other factors, higher inflation in Thailand leads to a higher inequality. In addition,this study is exploring the analysis on the special program that invested in eachspecific province whether it is able to alleviate the inequality and poverty or not. Theresults show some specific program is worthwhile to invest but some is in doubt ; However, as changes in inequality and poverty are not purely the effect ofthese special programmes, then cannot conclude that some of the selectiveprogrammes are not effective tools. This might be because other factors had a bignegative influence in those particular provinces, so these programs alone could notimprove income distribution and lower poverty rates. Even if inequality and povertywas improved, still cannot conclude that this was purely from these specialprogramme; other factors might support this outcome. According to this, this studycan be a guidance for Thai government should study more in a depth detail which kind and which source of government expenditure should be focused more to investas to relieve the inequality and poverty. ; [preview](https://repository.nida.ac.th/bitstream/662723737/3327/6/ba186299.pdf.jpg)

Local governments have borrowed largely from the banking system to finance their deficits instead of responding to the rigors of bond markets. This paper analizes how sub-national governments optimally reallocate the provision of public goods and decide on borrowing, in a model where the banking system faces a soft budget constraint. In contrast with recent literature, sub-national governments allocate a higher (lower) than optimal amount of resources to consumption public goods (infrastructure investment) and overborrow if they expect the banking system to be bailed out. Controls on sub-national borrowing like the golden rule seem to be inefficient to avoid excesive indebtedness at state level.

Presents a multiple‐objective mathematical programming model to
co‐ordinate logistics decisions with those on the interface between the
production and marketing departments. The model can help decide on an
overall budget to request from senior management for logistics and these
interfaces, and in systematically allocating the funds between
transport, inventory and production. In so doing, this multi‐period
model specifies the timing and quantity of raw‐material purchases, and
the location and timing of production activities and distribution flows.
The budget for expenditures on logistics and its interface activities is
taken as an objective to minimise, instead of as a given dollar level to
be satisfied. A second objective is to maximise the profit of logistics
and its related interfaces. Trade‐offs between these two conflicting
aims yields the decision maker′s "best compromise" solution.
