The purpose of this paper is to find the desirable R&D policies in defense area by analyzing causality between GDP and R&D investments in government, private, defense sectors. We have five variables which are composed of GDP, total R&D investment, R&D investments in government, private and defense sectors to figure out the causality between R&D investment in defense sector and other components. In the course of analysis on causality, we took the unit root test of variables to prevent spurious regression. Also we need to take cointegration test about non-stationary variables before the causality test. According to these test results, we took the causality test using ECM(Error Correction Model) for the models which have cointegrating relations. And we took ordinary Granger causality test for model which doesn't have a long-run stationary relationship. As a result of the causality test, it was shown that there exists the long-nu causality to GDP and R&D investments in government and private sectors from other variables. However, there doesn't exist the causality to defense R&D investment from other variables. We found that there doesn't exist the causality between R&D investments in defense and private sectors, and that they are independent.

Up to present science and technology (S&T) policy in Korea has focused on producing academic papers and patents through the increase of investment on research and development (R&D). However, as the role of science and technology on boosting national economy has been emphasized and the current government has established 'creative economy' as a main policy agenda, 'technology commercialization' has been moving onto the center of S&T policy. Technology commercialization policy encourages R&D outcomes of public R&D institutions to be utilized in private firms for their new business development, and this concept is in line with out-bound open innovation, in the sense that it involves the flow of technological knowledge from public R&D institutions to private firms. Based on this understanding, this paper analyses government technology commercialization programs and attempts to suggest policy implications. The results suggest that future technology commercialization policy (1) be specialized in a way of reflecting the characteristics of each government ministry, (2) strongly support technology licensing-out, (3) strengthen the linkage between each programs, and (4) nurture expert groups, such as accelerators who can help and foster technology start-ups.

This study examines how eco-innovation contributes to the exports of environmentally-friendly products using the dynamic panel model. The results reveal that the adjustment in the exports exists to recover the long-run equilibrium with sluggish adjustment speed. In addition, the results show that environmental patent applications and environment-related R&D expenditures are beneficial for enhancing the environmentally-friendly exports. While the environmental patent applications are associated only with an increase in the exports of products for resource management, the environmental R&D expenditures contribute to the exports of pollution management products, cleaner technologies and products, and resource management products. Moreover, as the long-run effects of eco-innovation on the exports become greater than the short-run effects, it appears that public eco-innovation is more likely to support future exports than private eco-innovation.

In knowledge-based economies, the facilitation of knowledge diffusion among R&D performing actors has become the most important factor for the growth of national science and technology. Korea has strived for revitalizing R&D partnerships between public and private sectors since 1970, but results of KIS (Korean innovation survey) data analysis show that R&D cooperation with public institute or academic sector are not a great help to Korean firm's innovation on the whole. Especially, in small and medium sized firm, R&D partnerships with public sector do not have positive influence on their innovation. This implies policies of activating R&D partnership should be formulated based on firm's cooperation demand. In addition to this, discriminatory cooperation plans between large firms and small and medium sized firms are needed to raise the effectiveness of R&D partnership.

This case analyzed the efficiency of 79 R&D projects performed within one private research center in machine tools industry. DEA was used for efficiency analysis. Input variables were R&D investment expense and man-month. Output variables were achievement rate on target development period and expected net sales within 5-years. Samples are divided into product development, Prior technology development, and control technology development. The key result is that Prior technology showed the lowest efficiency because of high uncertainty. It was so difficult to determine its goals and to make its specific plans. With respect to scale, the proportions of CRS(constant returns to scale) were 34.6%, 14.3% and 38.9% for product development, prior technology, control technology respectively. As for IRS(increase returns to scale), they were 53.8%, 85.7% and 38.9% for product development, prior technology, control technology respectively. As for DRS(decrease returns to scale) they were 11.5%, 0% and 22.2% for product development, prior technology, control technology respectively. On the whole, in this case, insufficient input was more problematic than excessive input, which means the lack of investment in R&D. Prior technology can be the source of the future competitiveness of companies. To operate inefficient DMU efficiently, the optimal input should be managed and it is derived from comparison with the reference group.

The purpose of this study is to examine the causal relationship among R&D spending and variables of technology trade, and to explore promoting R&D activities and revitalizing technology trade. To analyze the causal relationship, we built a multivariate model that consists of government R&D spending, private R&D spending, technical importation and export of techniques, and employed the Granger-causality test based on an error correction model. The results show that there are five Granger-causality relationship among them in the short run, as well as there are eleven Granger-causality relationship among a total of twelve causal relationship, excluding only a unidirectional causality relationship from the government R&D spending to the export of techniques, in the long run. Besides, we attempted the impulse-response analysis on them to observe the reaction of any dynamic system in response to some external change. The significance of this paper is to make sure the causal relationship between R&D investments and the technology trade by analyzing empirically, and to suggest several implications for promoting the R&D activities and revitalizing the technology trade.

Trend of R&D expenditure in Korea during the last 10 years, the R&D expenditure has been constantly increasing at an average rate of 10%. The government R&D ekpenditures or subsidies are increasing rapidly But the studies of evaluating impact of government R&D subsidies are few. This study attempts to empirically investigate the effects of government R&D subsidies on private firm's R&D investment in Korean industry by using Propensity score matching method which sign as to whether the relationship between government subsidies and private R&D investments is on stimulating or displacing private R&D expenditures. Empirically, a firm with government R&D subsidy are 733 million dollar more expenditure then don't receive any government R&D funding. Also Government R&D subsidies greatly increase (statistically significant) company financed R&D expenditures only for large firms but had no effect on the R&D expenditures of small & medium sized firms and venture firms.

WTO 체제의 등장과 기술경쟁의 가속화로 기술의 확보가 기업경쟁력의 핵심으로 등장하고 있는데, 우리나라 정보통신 산업의 경우 민간부문의 기술개발 활동은 그 투자면에서 뿐 아니라 기술관리 측면에서도 취약성을 면치 못하고 있다. 이에 우리나라 정보통신산업체를 대상으로 연구개발전략의 실태를 조사하여 그 문제점과 개선대안을 탐색한다. 실태조사 결과 정보통신산업체들의 연구개발전략은 아직 전사적 차원의 "Total R&D"개념이 다소 부족하고 장기적인 관점에서의 연구개발 활동이 미흡한 것으로 나타나, 중장기기술개발계획과 연계된 전략적 연구관리체제의 도입이 필수적이다.

부품소재산업의 발전은 산업 간 연관관계를 강화함으로써 수출과 내수 간 선순환 구조를 정착시키고, 중소기업의 발전을 통해 대기업-중소기업 간 동반성장과 일자리 창출, 내수기반의 확대에도 기여할 수 있다. 개방경제에서 일국의 국제분업 위상과 이득은 국가 간 상대적인 관계속에서 형성된다는 점에서, 개방 경제의 시각에서 본 정부의 역할은 폐쇄경제의 시각에서보다 더 크고 중요하다. 또한 경기침체기에는 부품소재에 대한 민간의 R&D투자 역량이 약화되는 경향이 있으므로 R&D투자를 위한 정부의 역할이 더욱 중요하다. 이 모두가 '부품소재특별조치법'이 연장돼야 할 이유다.
