  • This study analyzed the inter-regional productivity performance of Southeast region of Korea, namely, Busan, Daegu, Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam for 16 service sectors, which are categorized by two groups, knowledge based service (5 sectors) and non-knowledge based one (11 sectors) for the period of 1997-2004. This study applied the method of Malmquist productivity change index(MPI) to the estimation of spatial productivity. According to the estimation results, firstly, the MPI of service sector has been deteriorated by annually 0.1% on average. However, when we divided the period into 1997-2000 and 2001-2004, the productivity performances of the second period was better than that of the first period, which are the same trend in knowledge based and non-knowledge based service sectors. Secondly, comparing productivity performances by region and sector during the whole period, Daegu has seven sectors which are relatively comparative advantage. and Ulsan and Busan have six and five sectors, respectively, which are relatively comparative advantage.

  • Under the continuing economic growth without increase in employment, issues regarding the impact of IT investment on demand for labor have been continuously raised. Under the circumstance, this study carried out an empirical analysis on the impact of IT investment on employment with a sample of 498 businesses whose domestic sales for the period of six years from 2003 to 2008 are KRW 100 billion or above. The result of the analysis found that IT investment increases employment in most of the industries except for some of the service sectors. In the manufacturing industry, more IT investment increased employment but decreased the flexibility in demand for labor; therefore, IT investment has a substitutional relationship with low-skilled labor and a complementary relationship with high-skilled labor. In the areas of electricity, gas and construction, employment increased as IT investment increased, with the greatest flexibility in demand for labor. In the service industry, increase in IT investment led to more employment and higher flexibility in producer services only. On the other hand, there was no meaningful relationship found between IT investment and employment in the areas of distribution services and social services.
