This study aims at analysing basic operational grounds of regional financial institutions in Pusan. Since 1980s many papers have discussed the issues how to develop the regional financial market. But they have neglected regional financial institutions and failed to clarify their roles in the regional economy. Recently the central government expels many regional financial institutions under financial distresses from the regional financial market without assessing their roles in the regional economy. This paper shows that regional financial institutions are indispensible for the stability and development of the regional economy, especially because they can supply credit to the small firms and households which have vulnerable credit standings and are tightly constrained in their access to bank credit. This paper also examines how credit unions deal with the problems caused by asymmetric information after the collapse of solidarity.

This paper focuses on the geographical pattern of financial activities in the Korean urban system during 1975-1990, based on the assumption that financial activities can reveal control points in Korea's urban economy. In terms of spatial evolution of financial insitutions, different locational characteristics are revealed among different types of financial institutions, implying the role of urban hierarchy. Financial resources are highly concentrated in the capital region, Seoul and Kyonggi Province. Both centralization trends into the large metropolitan cities and relative declines of medium and small cities within the Korean urban system, have been experienced over the study period. Financial activities sustain relatively stable hierarchical structure in the urban hierarchy. Regarding the financial flows, dominant flow zones centered on major metropolitan cities are identified, clearly showing a prominant role of Seoul in financial flows in the entire urban system.

This study examines the spatial distribution characteristics of financial industry which has been a necessary service for contemporary urban life. In particular, we analyze the spatial distribution patterns of money lending business which is considered with informal financial services as well as the spatial distribution patterns of banks which are representative of the institutional financial services. For the purpose, their density distribution patterns are explored by Kernel density analysis for both financial services in first. Moran's I coefficients are estimated for these two financial services to clarify the distintion in their geographical concentration patterns. The results of spatial autocorrelation analysis show stark differences between the center city and outskirts of the Seoul metropolitan area. Multivariate regression models are developed to explain the relationships between the spatial distributions of financial services and geographical variables. Finally, we discuss financial exclusion problem in the Metropolitan Seoul based on these spatial distribution characteristics.

경영성과(經營成果)의 평가지표(評價指漂)는 개별조직의 목표와 제약환경, 즉 이용가능한 자원량과 개별적 특수요인 등을 고려하여 설정하여야 하며, 산업내의 특성과 동질적 비교집단을 이해함으로써 조직의 성과와 직접적으로 연결될 수 있어야 한다. 또한 조직의 평가는 부분적(部分的)인 효율성(效率性)에 편중되지 않고 투입과 산출간의 유기적인 관계를 총체적인 관점에서 분석함으로써 종합적(綜合的) 효율성(效率性)에 그 촛점이 두어져야 한다. 이러한 문제의 인식에 바탕을 두어 본 연구에서는 Charnes, Cooper와 Rhodes(1978)에 의해 처음 개발되어 주로 비영리기관의 경영성과의 평가에 많이 사용하여 온 DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis)기법을 이용하여 금융기관(金融機關)의 효율성(效率性)을 평가(評價)한다. 금융기관은 다양한 투입요소를 사용하여 다양한 서비스 상품을 제공하는 조직이기 때문에, 또 재무비율을 이용한 기존의 평가나 통계적 생산함수의 추정에 의한 평가방법은 단순히 과거의 실적을 평가하는 데 그치게 되고 객관성이 결여되기 쉽기 때문에 조직의 미래운영방향의 설정에 도움이 되지 못한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 그러나, DEA은 다수의 투입과 산출요소를 요구하는 경우에 적합하게 설계된 분석방법이므로 금융기관의 성과분석에 적절하게 이용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 금융기관(金融機關)의 효율성(效率性)을 평가(評價)하는 기존의 방법을 간략하게 검토한 다음, DEA에 관한 이론적 기초와 그 특성을 검토한다. 실증분석에서는 여 수신업무(與 受信業務)를 수행하고 있는 국내금융기관들 중에서 자료의 동질성과 표본대상 기업의 수를 고려하여 은행업(銀行業)과 투자금융업(投資金融業)을 선정하고 이들 업종에 속한 37개 회사들에 대한 운영효율성(運營效率性)을 측정한다. 투입요소로 직원의 수와 영업비용을, 그리고 산출요소로 영업수익과 경상이 익을 선정하고, 3년간의 자료를 사용하여 실증분석을 한다. 분석의 결과에 의하면, 18개 전체 은행의 평균적인 효율성의 정도는 가장 효율적인 은행을 기준으로 할 때, 약 85% 수준에 그치고 있어서, 나머지 대부분의 은행들 특히 대규모 시중은행들의 경영상의 개선의 여지가 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. 5대 시중은행들간에는 효율성의 차이가 거의 없는 반면, 지방은행들간에는 매우 큰 차이가 있는 것으로 나타난다. 이는 영업지역의 제한으로 인하여 지역경제 규모가 은행의 수지상황에 결정적인 영향을 미치고 있다는 것을 반영하고 있다. 29개 단자회사를 대상으로 한 투자금융업의 경우에도 은행업의 경우와 동일하게 낮은 효율성과 지역간 격차현상이 나타나고 있다.

This paper examines the factors affecting financial exclusion, and proposes the strategies for enhancing the role of credit unions as financing source for small business startups. Credit cooperative institutions have played an important role in assisting people and communities who suffer from social and financial exclusion such as small business owners. But many of them have closed and lost their operational grounds by financial restructuring. Accordingly people with low credit scores have faced with increased financial constraints and the government has proposed various measures to assist them. Credit unions should develop strategies more actively to ease their financial constraints, expand and reinforce the operational grounds through relationship banking, enhance competitiveness by community based specialization strategies and developing models.

This paper examines the mainbank relationships of SMEs after the 1997 financial crisis in Incheon-Kyunggi and Daejeon-Chungnam regions where local banks have been merged by national banks. The results are as follows. First, national banks(except Industrial Bank of Korea and Kookmin bank) are reluctant to be mainbanks of regional SMEs. Second, those firms which have mainbank relationships with national banks borrow from relatively large number of banks. Third, their size measured by employees are relatively large. These tendencies become clearer after the 1997 financial crisis. It is the Industrial Bank of Korea and Kookmin bank that play important roles as mainbanks of regional SMEs. National banks including the Industrial Bank of Korea and Kookmin bank cannot be relationship lenders to SMEs due to the Williamson-type organizational diseconomies. It means that to ease the regional financial problems regional financial institutions are expected to play more active roles.
