Abstract

To increase the productivity and efficiency of public enterprises, privatization has been carried out in a number of different ways. However, the change in productivity and efficiency of privatization have not been validated. Therefore, it is important to investigate the change in productivity and efficiency of privatization. In this study, the impact of privatization was analyzed using the indices of Malmquist analysis and DEA. According to the case studies in Korean privatization, there is no change in efficiency due to privatization. On the other hand, privatization influences the productivity of privatization. These results suggest that the purpose of privatization should be clarified before privatization

최근 민영화에 대한 많은 논란이 있다. 민영화는 효율성과 생산성의 상승을 목적으로 실시된다. 그러나 이에 관한 연구는 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 DEA와 Malmquist분석을 이용하여 민영화에 따른 효율성과 생산성의 개선 효과를 분석한다. 분석결과, 민영화된 공기업과 공기업간의 효율성 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 생산성에서는 차이가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 민영화는 생산성의 향상을 불러올 수 있다고 분석 가능하다. 본 연구를 통해 정책경영시사점을 제공할 수 있다.
