Business potential of sustainable energy in Korea: Hybrid method of various feasibility studies from path dependence and path evolution perspective

It is a common practice, in Korea as well as other countries, to use economic feasibility study for policy-maker or business communities before deciding substantial investments on sustainable energy projects especially photovoltaic industry in 2008.
