Abstract

Mobile application is growing explosively with the advent of a new technology: smartphones. Mobile application is a new marketing channel and performs as a start-up platform. This study examines the effect of mobile application on the off-line market. Despite the continuous declining demand for taxi service, paradoxically, the supply of taxi service has increased. The taxi industry can be categorized into general taxi and call taxi. General taxi is accidental and inefficient because it has to search for its own passenger. As call taxi takes the request of a passenger, it is more efficient than general taxi. However, the current defective passenger-taxi driver matching system and insufficient taxi driver management hinder the development of the call taxi market. Differences in differences (DID) is an econometrical methodology that examines whether or not an event has meaningful influence. This research uses DID to investigate the effect of the Kakao taxi application on the call taxi industry. Furthermore, it examines the effect of major companies' reckless diversification, which is considered unethical behavior. The passengers of call taxi data from August 2014 to July 2015 and those of designated driving service data of the same period were collected as the control group.

모바일 앱 시장은 스마트폰의 등장으로 폭발적으로 성장하였다. 최근 모바일 앱은 단순한 스마트폰 구성요소가 아니라 다양한 마케팅 채널로 활용되고 있으며 스타트업이 성장할 수 있는 발판이 되었다. 본 연구에서는 모바일 앱이 시장에 미치는 영향에 대해서 연구하고자 하였다. 안내원과의 전화를 통해서 소비자에게 서비스를 제공하던 전통적인 콜택시 산업이 카카오택시라는 새로운 모바일 앱 채널의 진입을 통해서 어떠한 영향을 받고 있는지 살펴보고자 한다. 최근 자가용과 대중교통의 발전으로 택시 수요는 감소한 반면, 개인택시 증가 등으로 택시 공급은 증가하고 있다. 택시산업은 크게 일반택시와 콜택시로 나누어진다. 일반택시는 택시기사가 직접 고객을 찾아다니기 때문에 우연적이고 비효율적인 행태를 보인다. 하지만 콜택시는 고객이 사용의도를 가지고 택시를 찾는다는 점에서 더 효율적인 업무가 가능하다. 이러한 장점에도 불구하고 콜택시 시장은 불완전한 고객-택시기사 매칭 시스템과 택시기사 관리 부족으로 크게 성장하지 못하였다. DID(differences in differences)는 하나의 시간 흐름에서 발생한 특정한 사건이 유의한 영향력을 행사하는가를 밝히는 계량경제학의 연구 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 DID를 사용하여 최근 큰 이슈와 함께 출시 된 다음의 카카오택시 어플리케이션이 기존의 콜택시 사업에 미치는 영향력을 밝히고자 하였다. 거기서 더 나아가 비윤리적인 행태로 여겨지는 대기업의 문어발식 산업 확장이 해당 시장에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 카카오택시 전후 콜택시 산업의 크기 비교를 통해서 콜택시 시장 변화를 확인하였다. 본 연구를 위해 2014년 8월부터 2015년 7월까지 1년치의 콜택시 수요 데이터를 수집하였으며 control group으로 사용한 대리운전 수요 데이터도 같은 기간 동안 수집하였다.
