Causality between Port Traffic Volume and Regional Economy

Soo-Won Mo,Dong-Oh Choi 한국무역연구원 2014 무역연구 Vol.10 No.2

Local governments with port facilities have made a great effort to attract port traffic volume in consideration that port has the close relation with their regional economy. Unfortunately, they do not have any particular interest in investigating how much correlation there is between port traffic volume and regional economy. Port traffic volume enables accelerating growth of regional economy as expected. However, there is a possibility that port traffic volume may not be conducive to growth of regional economy contrary to expectation. Rather, regional economy may have influence on port traffic volume. In addition, the two variables are likely to have mutual influence on each other or no causality between them. They are also likely to have a significantly different level of influence on each other. There is a limit to examine such causality with use of Granger causality test that is frequently conducted in many researches. For this reason, vector autoregression (VAR) models such as forecast error variance decomposition, historical decomposition and impulse response are used to analyze direction and degree of causality between port traffic volume and regional economy. This paper demonstrates that port traffic volume accelerates growth of regional economy in Busan, Incheon and Gangwon, whereas it is not almost conducive to growth of regional economy in Gyeonggi, Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk. In this paper, impulse response function is used to show that impulse of increase in traffic volume induces growth of regional economy and such impulse decays at a very low speed and to demonstrate that Busan economy has a very strong response to traffic volume shock, whereas the regional economies of Gyeonggi, Cbungnam and Gyeongbuk have a relatively weak response.

지역경제 활성화 지원기구에 대한 법제 연구 - 일본의 제도를 중심으로 -

고재종 한국법제연구원 2014 법제연구 Vol.- No.47

At July 24, 2014, ‘New economy team’ announced the direction of the economic policy. In this policy, New economy team pointed at the next several issues related on the present situation of our country. Firstly, we may not convinced the fact that the development of our economy grows consistently. Secondly, bad condition of our economy may be come from structural and complicated problems. Thirdly, it may be actualize, as the problems of the front of the eye, to have the excess household debt of household and to have falling behind service industry etc. As the such result, the new economy team suggested on the growth of domestic demand, the stability of livelihoods of people and innovation of economy as the direction of the policy related on the present situationsAnd I considered that stability of livelihoods of people proposed as the direction of the policy have been closely related on the vitalization of regional economy. Also, I considered that the vitalization of regional economy is to consolidate the footing on permanent resident as giving regional inhabitant the chance of job and income by means of the growth on regional productivity. I think that for the vitalization of regional economy, the self-governing body must collect the information and data, form the scheme, generate the several system and strengthen the administration abilityTherefore, I will examinate the supporting institution for vitalization of regional economy. As the methods, I will study on our system with comparison with the japan system for the vitalization of regional economy. As the result, I suggest that we introduce the japan's institution into our country. But because of the difference of economic system and the scientific ideas between our country and the japan, we must pay special attentions to one's choice of japan's system 새로이 출범한 현재의 경제부총리 겸 기획재정부 장관을 비롯한 ‘새 경제팀’은 「새 경제팀의 경제정책 방향」을 확정 발표하였는데, 그 주요 내용은 ① 경기 회복세가 지속되리라고 자신할 수 없다는 점, ② 최근의 경기 부진은 구조적이고 복합적인 문제에서 비롯되었다는 점, ③ 과다한 가계부채, 낙후된 서비스 산업 등이 ‘눈앞의 문제’로 현실화되었다는 점, ④ 현 상황 지속시 우리 경제는 「축소 균형의 늪」에 빠질 우려가 있다는 점 등 문제점의 인식과 그에 대한 정책 방향을 제시한 것이다. 그러한 방향 제시는 지역경제의 활성화와 매우 밀접한 관련이 있다. 이에 본 논문은 지역경제 활성화 지원기구를 중심으로 한 제도의 도입 여부를 검토하고자 하였다. 구체적으로는 일본의 경우 국가적 차원에서 「주식회사 지역경제활성화 지원기구법(株式會社地域經濟活性化支援機構法)」을 두고 있다. 따라서 이와 관련하여 우리나라에도 이러한 기구가 존재하는지, 유사 기구가 있다면 어떠한 역할을 수행하고 있는지를 살펴본 다음, 일본의 제도와 비교하여 그 개선 방안 내지 도입 방안을 마련하고자 한다. 결론적으로 우리나라는 지역활성화를 적극적으로 지원하기 위해서 일본과 같은 제도의 도입을 검토할 필요가 있다. 그 구체적인 내용은 본문의 내용을 참조, 다만 일본의 제도를 도입한다고 하더라도 우리나라의 사회·문화적 여건을 충분히 반영하여 우리 실정에 맞는 제도의 도입을 하여야 할 것이다.

A Study on Balanced Regional Development

Chang Kon Choi(최창곤) 한국경제통상학회 2009 경제연구 Vol.27 No.2

우리 사회는 지역균형발전의 추구를 위한 다양한 정책이 시행되었다. 하지만 그 논의과정에서 기본적인 문제들 - 지역균형발전의 개념, 필요성, 방법론 및 표과- 에 대한 검토가 진지하게 이루어지지 않은 것 같다. 특히, 지역균형발전의 추구가 국가경쟁력에 미치는 효과에 대한 논의는 한국경제의 성장과정에서 매우 중요한 측면임에도 불구하고 체계적인 분석이나 논의를 찾아보기 힘들다. 지역균형발전이란 무엇이고, 그것이 왜 필요한가라는 주제에 대한 정확한 이해가 없는 상태에서 지역균형 발전에 대한 논의는 지역이기주의에 기초한 소모적인 논쟁을 야기할 뿐이다. 본 고는 지역균형발전이란 무엇이고 지역균형발전의 장점이나 단점에 대한 논의, 국가경쟁력에 미치는 효과, 지역의 균형발전이 왜 필요한가에 대한 체계적인 논의를 하고자 한다. 특히, 지식기반경제에서 지역균형이 갖는 의미가 이전의 경제구조와 어떻게 다른지를 이해하여 정책적 함의를 도출하고자 한다. This paper deals with the issue of economic development among regional economics in the knowledge-based economy. There would be two types of growth paths among them, balanced or unbalanced one. The former means that all ot most regional economies grow evenly while the latter does that they grow unevenly. The first question is which growth path among regional economies is efficient for the national competitiveness. That is, we examine the possible relationship between the balanced regional development and national competitiveness. While most (quickly) developing countries experience the problem of unbalanced regional development, there are, however, no rigorous discussions about what balanced regional development means, its benefit and costs, basically why it is necessary and how it can be achieved. Without answering them, the policy effort of balancing regional economic development may cause time and resource-consuming conflicts among selfish regional economies. This paper shows theoretically that balanced regional economic development improves the efficiency of national economy, the degree of which may be measured by the distribution of the marginal productivity of capital among regional economies. That is, the balanced regional growth among regional economies is a necessary condition to maximize national competitiveness.And the fact that the current economy is knowledge-based has an important policy implication on this issue. It is shown that in the knowledge-based economy, balanced regional development of regional economies may not be attained in the market without government intervention. Finally, several policy suggestions are provided to achieve the balanced regional development among regional economies and to maximize the national competitiveness.

지역경제활성화를 위하여 특산물 지역브랜드로서의 역할

In order to revitalize the local industries in the changing market environment of localization and internationalization, effective ways to revitalize the regional economy are to develop local brands. The development of regional specialty brands for the revitalization of the regional economy is on the rise, but it has a problem that the brand function is fundamentally weak. Thus, the roles and tasks of the regional specialty brands were able to be derived through the case study of Jeonbuk Imsil Cheese, Mungyeong Omija, Ansungmachum, Goodtre, and Aita’s Seki Saba, Seki Aji, and Ibaraki’s dried sweet potatoes, which are excellent local and overseas brands. In order for the regional specialty brand to help revitalize the regional economy, it is necessary to expand it by diversified fusion and combination. The role of regional specialty brands for diverse expansion is as follows. First, the local resources that are the source of the local specialty brands are based on the differentiated quality that represents the region. Second, local resources should be able to be reborn into new contents or to develop new contents through combinations of different industries and resources. Third, active involvement of local governments and local residents should be included. Fourth, the help of experts should be accompanied. It is clear that the convergence and complexity between different industries and resources in regional specialty brands generate greater synergy. The regional specialty brands that is extended to this multidimensional industry is a basis for maximizing the added value of the local area, and further extends to local culture beyond the promotion of the region. As a result, creating new added value by expanding the regional specialty brands is the basis for revitalizing the regional economy. 지방화와 국제화라는 변화된 시장 환경 속에서 지역의 산업을 부흥시키기 위한 활성화 작업 즉 지역경제활성화를 위한 효율적인 방안은 지역브랜드를 개발하는 것이다.지역경제활성화를 위한 지역특산물브랜드 개발은 상승 추세이지만 근본적으로 브랜드 기능이 미약하다는 문제점을 안고 있다. 지역특산물브랜드의 역할과 과제를 도출하기 위하여 국·내외 우수 지역특산물브랜드인 전북 임실 치즈, 문경 오미자, 안성의 안성맞춤, 부여의 굿뜨레와 일본 오이타현의 세키 전갱이·세키 고등어, 이바라키현의 말린 고구마의 사례를 정리해 보았다. 지역특산물브랜드가 지역경제활성화에 도움이 되기 위해서는 다각적인 융·복합에 따른 확장이 필요하다. 그리고 다각적 확장을 위한 지역특산물브랜드가 수반해야할 역할은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 지역특산물브랜드의 원천이 되는 지역자원은 지역을 대표하는 차별화된 품질을 기반으로 한다. 둘째, 지역자원은 서로 다른 산업과 자원의 조합을 통해 확장된 콘텐츠로 거듭나거나 새로운 콘텐츠를 개발해 낼 수 있어야 한다. 셋째, 해당 지자체와 지역민의 적극적인 참여가 포함되어야 한다. 넷째, 전문가의 도움이 수반되어야 한다. 지역특산물브랜드에 있어서 서로 다른 산업과 자원간의 융합·복합은 더 큰 시너지를 내는 것이 분명하다. 이렇게 다차원적 산업으로 확장된 지역특산물브랜드는 지역의 부가가치를 극대화할 수 있는 기반이 되며 나아가 지역활성화를 넘어 지역문화의 형태로 확대되는 효과가 있다. 결국 지역특산물브랜드의 확장에 따른 새로운 부가가치의 생산은 지역경제활성화를 위한 밑거름이 된다.

The regional competitiveness index is one of the most effective ways to understand business situation of regional economy and to describe the conditions of regional development. Moreover, in order to examine more accurate characteristics of regional competitiveness, analyzing the efficiency of regional economy is highly recommended simultaneously. This study aims to analyze the causal relationships between regional competitiveness index and economic efficiency in regional economy. Then, this study estimates economic efficiency in 16 Municipalities and attempts to understand the relationship between the economic efficiency and factors of regional competitiveness index during 11 years using panel data of 16 Municipalities in Korea. First, The average efficiency in CCR model was the highest in the Ulsan area. and next, a high average efficiency is Seoul(0.867), Jeollanamdo(0.784), Daegu (0.713), Gyeongsangbuk-Do(0.707), Gwangju(0.701), respectively. The economic efficiency in the BCC model was the highest in Ulsan, Seoul and Jeju. Second, relative efficiency in CCR model for the regional competitiveness was statistically significant in the factors of the income level, industrial development, human-base and SOC·financial strength excluding the factor of innovative capabilities in the regional economy. The result of the panel analysis shows that the factors of income level, industrial development, human-based have important functions in regional competitiveness. However, the factor of SOC·financial strengths did not contribute to promote regional competitiveness.

사회적 경제 관점에서 본 내생적 지역관광발전의 과제와 정책적 함의

심원섭 한국관광학회 2017 관광학연구 Vol.41 No.6

본 연구는 대안적 관광발전론으로서 사회적 경제의 지역적 의미와 그 역할을 명확히 하기 위하여 사회적 경제가 갖는 내생적 지역관광발전의 함의에 초점을 맞추고 논의하였다. 이를 위해 사회적 경제와 내생적 발전, 내생적 지역관광발전의 의미를 이론적으로 살펴보았고, 해외의 사회적 경제를 통한 내생적 지역발전 사례와 국내의 관광분야 사회적 경제 운영사례를 분석하였다. 이를 통해 향후 사회적 경제의 관점에서 지역의 내생적 관광발전을 추진하기 위한 과제와 정책적 함의를 제시하였다. 사회적 경제 개념을 토대로 지역의 내생적 관광발전을 위해서는 첫째, 사회적 경제가 지역의 내생적 관광발전을 위한 중요한 틀이 될 수 있다는 필요성 인식과 이를 위한 제도적 토대 마련이 필요하다. 둘째, 지역관광이 사회적 경제를 통해 발전하기 위해서는 지역사회내의 자발적 네트워크와 협력적 거버넌스가 형성되어야 한다. 셋째, 사회적 자본 형성과 투명하고 참여 구성원 보호 장치 마련이 필요하다. 넷째, 지역관광혁신인재의 양성과 지역주민 역량강화가 필요하다. 이를 바탕으로 사회적 경제가 내생적 지역관광발전의 틀로 작용하기 위해서는 지역관광정책에 대한 인식전환, 내생적 지역관광발전의 생태계 구축, 지역사회 및 지역자원 중심의 관광사업모델 개발 및 지원, 제도적 인프라 구축 등이 정책적으로 필요하다. Social economy has been increasingly understood as an alternative solution for regional tourism development, particularly for endogenous tourism development. Therefore, this study discusses the concept of social economy from the perspective of regional tourism development, by theoretically conceptualizing social economy, endogenous tourism development and the relationship between these concepts. The research analyzes interesting cases in which social economy was used for regional development. The results provide several practical implications for tourism policy. First, based on agreement among stakeholders, a region needs to internalize the value of social economy by increasing awareness of social economy as an effective solution for regional development. Second, a region needs to form a spontaneous and cooperative network for endogenous tourism development of a social economy. Third, endogenous tourism development of a social economy can be achieved using social capital, the fairness of market and distribution. Fourth, endogenous tourism development of a social economy requires strengthening the overall ability of a region by training human resources who have good will and entrepreneurship. In addition, governmental support that forms regional tourism ecology and that develops alternative tourism business models is a crucial basis for the endogenous tourism development of social economy.

중국의 경제개혁과 ‘區域文化ㆍ區域文學’論

김성준 현대중국학회 2008 現代中國硏究 Vol.9 No.2

중국의 경제발전은 중앙과 지방의 분권 및 상호협력의 과정이기도 하다. 현재 중국의 경제발전은 ‘경제구역’을 중심으로 진행되고 있으며, 경제발전에 따른 각 구역의 문화ㆍ문학을 일컬어 구역문화ㆍ구역문학이라는 새로운 용어로 표현하려는 시도가 제기되었다. 그 근거는 경제발전의 실질적 주체인 각 지방의 입장에서 지역경제의 지속적인 성장을 위해서는 경제발전에 어울리는 지방문화가 동시에 발전해야 한다는 점이었다. 이를 위해서는 과거 중앙정부에 대한 종속성에서 탈피하여 환경적, 역사적, 문화적 측면에서도 동질감을 가질 수 있는 지방문화가 절실히 필요하였다. 이와 더불어 세계적으로 전지구와의 추세가 확산, 심화됨에 따라 미국 등 문화적 중심 국가들로부터의 문화지배의 위협 또한 증가되었다. ‘구역문화ㆍ구역문학’이란 개념은 이와 같이 국내외적 원인으로부터 제출된 것이다. 동시에 중국의 경제개혁의 성과 및 과제를 반영하고, 전환기에 처한 중국의 현실과 문화ㆍ문학을 조망하려는 새로운 시각이기도 하다. 이와 같은 시도는 과거 혁명시대의 문예관이 정치이념에 종속적이었던 한계를 극복한 후, 개혁개방기 중국의 새로운 문화현상에 대한 체계적인 분석틀이 부재한 상황에서 출현한 것으로서 문화적 현상에 대해 경제적 시각을 결합하고자 하는 매우 참신한 접근방법이라 하겠다. Economic development of China is a process of decentralization and cooperation between central government & region, too. Presently it is progressing with economic regions of China. As the result, they have advanced an opinion to explain the new aspects of culture & literature, and it's named Regional culture, Regional literature. Because they needed a growth of Regional culture, Regional literature to support an economic development of the region. With the spread of globalization, on the other hand, they worried about the control of American culture. An idea of Regional culture, Regional literature are presented with these domestic and foreign causes. Simultaneously it is an opinion that reflected the results and problems of China’s economic revolution, and took a view of the reality of mordern China’s Literature at the turning point. This attempt appears in 1990's era, not existing a proper theory to explain Chinese literature after Reform and openess period, and it is a new idea that intended to join economy to literature

운송 파급효과가 항공네트워크와 지역경제에 미치는 영향

왕흔신,폴린라이 한국무역학회 2022 貿易學會誌 Vol.47 No.4

Air transport is at the core of global economic growth. There is a close relationship between the flow of regional elements and the growth of the regional economy. It is easy to misestimate the impact of airports on the regional economy without considering spatial spillover effects. This study attempted to establish an asymmetric economic geographical weight matrix by applying the Spatial Durbin Model with cargo volume and passenger numbers as indicators. The influence of spillover effects on the regional economy, including direct spillover effects and indirect spillover effects are studied. The results revealed that passenger numbers and cargo volume have significant positive spillover effects on the regional economy. The driving effect of the airport on the regional economy was considered from a wider space scope. This study contributes to the scientific evaluation of the aviation economy.

IMF의 금융발전지수를 활용한 중국 지역별 금융발전도와 지역경제

이종찬 인문사회 21 2023 인문사회 21 Vol.14 No.3

China’s financial development by region is identified and the effect of China’s regional financial development on the regional economy is analyzed. Using the financial development index announced by the IMF, China’s regional financial development index is measured and compared with the regional GRDP to analyze the relationship between regional economic growth and financial development. Changes in private loans, corporate loans, property insurance, and the number of financial institutions by region in China showed similar trends to changes in GRDP by region in China. It was found that the development of loanable funds market by region in China is having a positive effect on the regional economy, and the increase in regional industrial capital and the improvement of access to the regional financial industry are having a positive effect on the regional economy.
