초록

본 연구의 목적은 지금까지 한국 정부가 벤처캐피탈 시장에 어떻게 개입해 왔는지 살펴보고, 정부의 벤처캐피탈 정책이 벤처캐피탈의 초기 투자를 촉진했는지 실증적으로 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 관련 문헌을 연구하고 국내 사례를 적용 분석하여 벤처캐피탈 시장에 대한 정부의 시장개입을 단계적으로 분류하였다. 그리고 본 연구는 정부개입의 가장 중요한 목적인 벤처캐피탈의 초기투자 활성화를 위한 우리 정부의 정책 효과를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 실증분석을 위해 한국벤처캐피탈협회와 한국펀드에서 제공한 2004년부터 2018년까지의 연도별 자료를 시계열 통계분석과 거시역학을 이용하여 분석하였다. 사례연구 결과 한국 정부는 25년 동안 직접투자를 통해 벤처캐피탈 시장에 개입했고, 이후 18년 동안 간접투자를 통해 개입해왔다. 시계열 통계분석 결과, 벤처캐피탈펀드 조성을 늘리기 위한 정부의 재정투자와 일정비율의 초기투자를 의무화하는 특수목적펀드의 비율이 높아지면서 벤처캐피털의 초기투자가 증가했다. 그러나 거시역학은 2016년부터 이 시계열 통계분석과 반대 방향의 경향을 보였다. 결론적으로, 본 연구는 시계열 통계분석 결과와 반대 방향의 경향을 정부의 벤처캐피탈 투자방법에 대한 잘못된 규제로 해석하고, 최근 정부의 간접투자 방식을 통한 직접개입의 실효성이 부족하다. 또한 본 연구에서는 사례연구와 실증연구 결과를 바탕으로 정부의 간접개입에 필요한 여섯 가지 정책제안을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the Korean government has intervened in the venture capital market so far and empirically investigate whether the government's policies on venture capital have stimulated venture capital's early-stage investment. To this end, this study classified the government's market intervention in the venture capital market by stage by studying the related literature and applying and analyzing the case in Korea. And, this study empirically analyzed the effectiveness of the Korean government's policy to revitalize the early-stage investment of venture capital, which is the most important purpose of government intervention. For empirical analysis, yearly data from 2004 to 2018 provided by the Korea Venture Capital Association and Korea Fund of Funds were analyzed using time series statistical analysis and macrodynamics. As a result of the case study, the Korean government has intervened in the venture capital market through direct investment for 25 years, and has been intervening through indirect investment for the next 18 years. As a result of time-series statistical analysis, the government's fiscal investment to increase the formation of venture capital funds and the increase in the ratio of special-purpose funds that mandate a certain percentage of early-stage investment increased the early-stage investment of venture capital. However, macrodynamics showed a trend in the opposite direction from this time series statistical analysis from 2016. In conclusion, this study interprets the trend in the opposite direction to the time series statistical analysis results as the government's erroneous regulation on the venture capital investment method and the recent lack of effectiveness of direct intervention through the government's indirect investment method. In addition, based on the results of case studies and empirical studies, this study made six policy proposals necessary for indirect government intervention.
