탄소중립을 향한 해양 기후위기 대응정책과 국가경쟁력 제고의 경로 = Response to the maritime climate crisis towards carbon neutrality and a path to enhancing national competitiveness

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study analyze the relationship between marine carbon regulation and national competitiveness on OECD countries' efforts to reduce carbon. The hypothesis path is as follow; R&D support and regulation reduces the amount of carbon generated in the ocean and ultimately increases national competitiveness. In order to analyze the causal structure of OECD countries with few samples, the fuzzy set analysis was applied as a methodology.
Based on the analysis results, some implications are as follows. First of all, Maritime regulations themselves cannot affect national competitiveness, but if regulations reduce carbon, it can contribute to national competitiveness. Second, marine R&D support can contribute to national competitiveness, and national competitiveness can be enhanced through the process of lowering carbon. Third, the theoretical relationship between the climate action and national competitiveness was explored in the marine area. This study is meaningful in confirming that these efforts can be confirmed as 'science' rather than 'belief'. Fourth, this study expanded the horizon of fuzzy set research. This study proposed another approach for future research by applying the fuzzy set method to path analysis.
