한국과 독일의 자동차산업 경쟁력 분석: TSI와 RCA지수를 중심으로 = A Comparative Analysis on Competitiveness for Automobil Industry between Korea and Germany: in View of Trade Specification Index and Revealed Comparative Advantage Index

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

When taking a closer look at trade relation between Korea and Gernany, Korea exports middle-and big-sized passenger cars to Germany. Germany exports big-sized passenger cars(exhaust amount of over 3 liters) and middle to small-sized passenger cars (exhaust amount of over 3 liters) to Korea. In other words, export mostly evolves around middle to big-sized cars whereas import concentrates on a combination of middle to big-sized and middle to small-sized cars. This implies that many German customers are of the middle class or lower who are interested in inexpensive German middle to big sized cars. In Korea, on the other hand, customers of the upper class are relatively more intrigued by high-priced German cars of the same size. The Trade Specification Index(TSI) for German automobiles steadily declined until 2002 and remained around 0.1 thereafter. The world index for automobile components has been rising again since 2002, but in the case of Germany it stands still at around -0.6. The standstill of the German TSI between -0.6 and -0.8 shows a contrast to the World TSI which has gone up from 0.11 to 0.45 after 2002. When comparing the TSI of Germany with the TSI of other nations, it can be observed that Germany shows the lowest index. This means that Germany`s competitiveness in exports of automobiles and automobile exponents is high. The Revealed Comparative Advantage(RCA) of German automobiles has been showing an increase from 1 to 1.5 since 2002. However, when compared with indexes of the U.S. or Europe the numbers are in the lower range. This indicates that capturing the German automobile market is relatively difficult. The RCA of German automobile exponents mostly show low competitiveness of below 1 except for clocks and chairs.
