A study on the Economic Impact of Measurement Standards on the Advancement of Korean Industry - with case study on measuring equipment industry -

측정표준의 국내 산업성장에 대한 기여도 분석 - 측정기기산업의 분석을 중심으로 -

As the Korea's economy grows bigger and its industrial structure advances, demands of high quality product become increasing. And the technology becomes to be more important factor than labor power and capital. And, the development of technology plays the key role in promoting the competitiveness of a nation. Measurement means 'Measuring with instrument', dissemination of measurement standards related with dissemination and distribution of measuring instrument. Measurement technology has been known to be the main factor of economic growth and technological development. National measurement standards is one of these factors of measurement technology. Therefore, in order to enhance dissemination of measurement standards to industry, we have to define its economic impact. We analysed the economic impact of measurement standards in terms of its contribution to the product induction of industry and management results using I-O Table with the quantitative data. The results from this study show that the increasement of measurement standards dissemination is in complementary relation with the productivity of various industries, assembly manufacturing, in particularly.

측정이란 측정기기를 가지고 계량하는 것을 의미하며, 측정표준 보급은 측정기기의 보급 및 확산과 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있다. 따라서 측정기기산업의 분석을 통하여 측정표준 보급의 영향을 살펴볼 수 있는 바, 본 연구에서는 측정기기의 산업부문별 생산유발기여도를 도출하여 산업구조 변화와의 관계를 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 의하면, 측정표준의 대용변수(Proxy variable)라고 할 수 있는 측정기기의 투입은 각 산업에 생산유발을 주고, 이러한 생산유발 기여가 해당 부문의 생산을 증가시키는데 기여하는 것으로 나타났다.
