초록

본 논문에서는 국내의 철도 항공 육로를 통한 물류운송산업 규제에 대해 살펴보고 여객 및 화물운송업 규제의 개선이 국민경제에 미칠 수 있는 영향을 계량화하고자 한다. 우리나라의 물류산업은 산출 및 생산규모가 점진적으로 확대되고 있으나 산업구조는 비교적 영세한 편이다. 한편 산업의 규제는 OECD 국가에 비해 높은 수준이며 국내의 여타 산업에 비해서도 그 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 경제적 규제의 수준을 비교 제시한 OECD의 국가별 네트워크산업 규제지수를 살펴보면 우리나라의 물류운송산업 규제지수는 지난 40여 년 동안 점차 감소하였으나 여전히 EU, 일본, 미국 등의 국가보다 높은 수준이며 특히 철도물류에서는 가격규제와 진입규제가 상당한 것으로 파악되었다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크산업 중 하나인 물류산업의 규제 지수가 1인당 국내총생산에 미치는 효과를 고정효과 모형을 통해 분석하였다. 실증분석 결과 교통물류부문의 규제지수가 한 단위 개선될 경우 1인당 실질 GDP를 약 8.1% 증가시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 우리나라 물류운송산업 규제가 약 10%가량 개선될 경우 1인당 국내총생산을 2.16% 상승시키는 효과가 있을 것으로 추정되었다. 특히 이러한 개선효과는 우리나라와 같은 제조업 중심의 국가에서 경제적 규제의 개선에 대해 더욱 크게 나타날 것으로 기대되며 이를 실현하기 위해서는 물류 및 운송업 부문별로 구체적이고 신중한 규제개선 노력이 요구된다.

This research reviews regulations on logistics/transport industry and attempts to quantify the effects of regulation mitigation on GDP per capita. South Korea's transport industry has been gradually expanding, however, the industrial structure is still short rooted. In 2014, average number of hours worked is 5th highest and wage margin 12th smallest out of 18 industries. Furthermore, the regulations for this industry appear to be stricter than those of other industries. OECD's logistics/transport industry regulatory index for South Korea has been decreasing for the last 40 years but still exceeds those of EU, Japan, US, and other countries. This paper provides supporting reasons for regulatory reforms by analyzing the ripple effects on real GDP. Factors such as the ratio of trade among GDP, the enrollment rate to primary school, energy usage per capita, and population are controlled in the fixed-effect model. Estimation results showed that 1 unit decrease in transport/logistics regulatory index is correlated with 8.1% increase of the real GDP per capita, that is, 10% of deregulation is expected to yield 2.16% increase in GDP per capita. Thus, it is expected that mitigating regulations on market entries, price determination, ownership structures of network industry, vertical integrations can improve the economy of South Korea.
