초록

이 논문은 미국 매릴랜드 주의 우선투자지역 설정과 이에 기반한 인센티브 프로그램이 기반시설의 투자위치에 어떤 영향을 주고 있는지를 검증하려는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 매릴랜드 주의 우선투자지역 프로그램은 도시스프롤을 억제하고 있는가? 이 물음에 대한 답을 구하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 1997년부터 2003년의 기간 동안 주 내의 각 카운티로부터 상하수도 기반시설 투자에 대한 자료를 수집하였다. 실증분석은 두 부분으로 구성되어 있다. 첫 번째 부분은 1997년과 2003년 사이에 카운티별로 우선투자지역의 내부와 외부에 이루어진 상하수도 시설 투자의 패턴을 대상으로 한 분석이다. 두 번째 부분에서는 카운티 단위에서 우선투자지역의 내부 혹은 외부로 투자결정이 이루어지는데 영향을 준 조건들을 확인하는 분석이다. 분석을 위하여 다양한 방식의 회귀모형이 이용되었다. 분석의 결과 주정부의 지원금은 애초의 의도했던 바와 같은 역할을 한 것으로 확인되었다. 모든 추정방식에서 주정부 지원금의 계수값은 유의하였으며 기대한 바와 같은 방향으로 영향을 주고 있었다. 이는 주 정부의 지원금을 많이 받은 카운티일수록 우선투자지역 내부로의 투자가 많았고 외부로의 투자는 작았음을 의미한다.

This paper attempts to examine how Maryland's Priority Funding Area (PFA) designation and incentive program has influenced the location of infrastructure investment. Is Maryland's PFA program reducing sprawl? In order to answer this question, data on the water and sewer infrastructure investments between 1997 and 2003 are collected from each county in the state. Empirical works are composed of two parts. The first part of the empirical analysis examines the pattern of water and sewer investment that has gone in and outside the PFAs between 1997 and 2003 at the county level. The second part of the empirical study shows at a county level the conditions that influence decisions to go in and outside the PFA. Regression models with various specifications are used for the analysis. The findings reveal that state fund has worked as designed. The coefficients of state fund in all estimations are significant and have expected signs implying that a county with more state fund tends to invest more in PFA as less outside.
