초록

본 논문은 한국 폐자원에너지기업을 대상으로 R&D 효율성을 평가하는 지표 중 하나로서 현재의 기술수준과 이에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대해 기술경제이론에 근거하여 분석하였다. 연구 방법으로는 한국 폐자원에너지기업을 대상으로 한 설문조사 데이터를 이용해 다항로지스틱회귀분석을 활용하였다. 분석의 결과, 국내 폐자원에너지기업의 기업규모, R&D투자 비중, R&D인력 비중은 기술수준에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지만, 국내시장 경쟁정도가 심할수록 기술수준에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 반면, 규모의 경제는 기술수준에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 분석결과에 따른 정책적 시사점은 시장경쟁 과열이 기업의 기술수준에 부정적인 영향을 미치지 않도록 이해관계자 간 상생할 수 있는 협력체계를 구축해야 하며, 또한 생산량 증대 및 생산비용 감소를 통해 기업이 규모의 경제효과를 거둘 수 있도록 하는 노력이 필요하다는 것이다.

This study analyzes the technological level of Korean waste-to-energy(WTE) firms and its determinants by using a multiple logistic regression analysis based on a survey. As the results of analysis, the technological level of Korean WTE firms has been positively influenced by the firm size, R&D expenditures, R&D manpower, but negatively influenced by the competition in domestic market. Also there is no significant effect of the economy of scale. The policy implications of this study are as follows; First, the system in which stakeholders coevolve should be set up to prevent excessive market competition from having a bad effect on the technological level of Korean WTE firms. Second, it is needed to make an effort to achieve the economy of scale by increasing an output and decreasing cost in WTE firms.
