The purpose of this study is to examine the causal relationship between trading volume of freight and industrial growth in Korea ports, and to induce policy implications. In order to test whether time series data is stationary and the model is fitness or not, we put in operation unit root test, cointegration test. And we apply Granger causality based on an error correction model, Hsiao(1981) method and variance decomposition. The results indicate that the extent of causality between trading volume of freight and industrial growth is strong in order of Incheon port, Busan port, Gwang Yang port, Ulsan port. We can infer policy suggestions as follows; The port policy of government must be focused on re-adjusting investment among Korea ports and raising competitive power of Korea ports

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the main components of economic growth and the effects of environmental factorson productivity by comparing traditional productivity growth and environmentally-adjusted productivity growth in 28 Chinese regions based on growth accounting analysis. To do this, we measured the shadow prices of SOx for the 28 Chinese regions. This study found that the annualized growth rate of output in the 28 Chinese regions was almost 10.07% for 1999-2005, though the growth rate was higher in the eastern region than in the middle and western regions. The average traditional productivity was 3.58%, again with the eastern region showing the highest level. The average environmentally-adjusted productivity of the three regions was about 3.56%, which is similar to the level of traditional productivity. This implies that activities regarding pollution reductions in the 28 Chinese regions have not been practiced, even though environmental regulations have been strengthened. Therefore, the regional and central governments should strengthen environmental regulations and strictly enforce them.

This study aims to identify the contribution of factors to employment growth over the past 20 years (1996-2016) for seven metropolitan areas in Korea. For this purpose, we performed a multifactor partitioning (MFP) analysis based on the business survey data provided by Statistics Korea. The key findings of the analysis are as follows. First, over the long run, the region effect is dominant in metropolitan employment growth, followed by the industry mix effect. On the other hand, the dynamic MFP findings suggests that future regional employment disparities are likely to be explained by industry structure. Second, the gender mix and decent job mix effect do not significantly contribute to regional employment growth. However, the contributions of individual factors are not invalid, and it is possible to infer a pattern of declining employment for men-permanent workers and increasing employment for women-contingent workers. These results indicate the importance and necessity of employment policies that can promote structural transition in regional industries and qualitative growth accompanied by employment stability.

서울은 인구 1000만이 넘는 세계적인 대도시로 발전하였다. 1970년대 이후로 급속적인 경제발전과 더불어 서울의 도시화는 급속히 이루어졌으며 이에 따른 인구집중 역시 빠른 속도로 진행되었다. 본 연구에서는 서울과 그 주변 도시를 대상으로 인구자료와 행정구역도 그리고 Landsat 위성영상을 사용하여 인구밀도의 변화에 따른 도시의 성장형태를 분석하여 도시의 관리와 발전계획을 위한 기초 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 도시성장 분석을 위한 기존의 연구방법은 행정구역에 따른 인구밀도를 통해 수행되었으나 이는 행정구역 내에 일률적인 인구데이터의 분배로 실제 경우와 다른 해석이 가능할 수 있는 오류를 포함하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 실질적인 대부분의 인구가 도시지역에 거주한다는 가정 하에 1985년부터 2000년까지의 5년 간격의 Landsat 위성영상을 사용하여 도시지역을 추출하고 이를 기초로 행정구역 내에 포함되어 있는 도시지역에만 인구를 배분하는 새로운 방식으로 인구밀도의 변화 추이를 나타내었다. 연구결과 기존에 방법에서는 발견되지 않았던 서울의 확장형태를 알 수 있었으며 또한 인구데이터의 경계현상을 Pycnophylactic 보간 알고리즘을 통해 제거함으로써 보다 실질적인 도시지역 인구밀도의 변화를 알 수 있었다. 이러한 인구밀도의 변화는 도시의 성장과 밀접한 상관관계를 갖기 때문에 이를 통해 서울 및 주변도시의 성장 형태를 확인할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 4장의 서울-경기 도시지역의 인구밀도 변화도를 제작하여 GIS를 이용한 관련 분야의 활용에 도움이 되고자 한다.

The economic reform in China since 1978 has been increasingly sped up and deepened. The recent development of private enterprises, especially, has significant economic and political implications, whereas its regional differentiation has considerable impacts on both the development potential of certain regions and overall regional growth pattern. This study aims to understand the regional pattern of private enterprise growth as well as the institutional change which has structured the growth process. The development of private enterprises turned out to be closely tied to the marketization strategy of dual-track system and policy needs to reduce the unemployment level in both urban and 겨ral China. The regional pattern of the private enterprise growth can be characterized as ever-increasing spatial differentiation. Based on the basic statistical analysis results, it is argued that the private enterprise growth is closed related with the marketization level of the regional economy. Therefore, the strategy of developing private sector will be more important in shaping the regional development path as well as potential.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the growth of major industries and effects of regional employment on the economic growth of Goyang city and Seongnam city in Gyeonggi Province. We examine the structural changes of the industrial specialization and factors of the growth in two regions by applying Location Quotients and dynamic shift-share analysis respectively. Both regions have been strengthened gradually in their industrial bases during the last 20 years since they have developed as the bed-towns for Seoul with the First Newtown Project of the Metropolitan Seoul area. These two regions have secured in the industrial specialization and competitiveness compare to other regions in the Metropolitan Seoul area. In particular, knowledge service industries have been agglomerated in both regions. Goyang city have secured in the medical welfare, culture and tourism of service sectors, while Seongnam city have secured in the information service and science technology service sectors. Therefore, each region might be differentiated regional foster industries in these sectors in order to succeed the economic development.

This study analyzes the effects of localities' competitiveness which can contribute to employment growth in industries, on economic development in the local jurisdictions. For this analysis, such competitiveness is measured by competitive shares calculated from the application of a shift-share method to the employment growth in industries each locality witnessed over the 1990s. And we use annual population growth rate and average annual per capita income (substituted by per capita head tax derived from income tax) of the early 2000s as variables of local economic development. The analysis targets 167 local jurisdictions in Korea for the employment growth in industries, and is mainly placed in a spatial econometric setting. The results of analysis are as follows : The competitive share of manufacturing has the effect of increasing annual population growth rate whereas that of construction has a negative effect on the population growth rate. As well, the competitive shares of manufacturing and of construction negatively influence average annual per capita income while that of community, social and personal services positively affects the income.

본고의 성장회계 분석결과 동아시아의 경이적 경제성장과정에서 자본축적의 중요성이 재확인되었다. 총요소생산성 증가율 측면에서는 동아시아는 선진국과 비슷한 수준이었다. 그러나 개발도상국 지역들과 비교해서 동아시아의 총요소생산성은 훨씬 빨리 증가하였을 뿐 아니라 매우 지속적으로 이루어졌는데, 이 점은 기존 문헌에서 그다지 주목하지 못한 것이었다. 성장회계를 통한 성장요인 분해결과 대외개방도 및 제도의 질 변수가 동아시아와 중남미 및 아프리카 등 다른 개도국 지역의 성장률 차이를 가장 잘 설명하였다. 그러나 동아시아가 선진국보다 빨리 성장한 것은 수렴효과에 기인하였으며, 선진국에 비해 열등한 제도 및 경제정책으로 인하여 동아시아는 이러한 수렴효과조차 충분히 활용하지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 한편 대외개방이 경제성장에 미치는 직접효과뿐 아니라 제도를 개선함으로써 성장에 미치는 간접효과도 고려할 경우 경제성장에서 대외개방도의 양적 중요성은 훨씬 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 대외개방이 동아시아의 성장에 있어서 가장 중요한 요인이었음을 시사하는 것으로 판단되며, 또한 "대외지향적 무역전략이 추가적인 자유화 조치의 모멘텀을 제공하여 개방의 이익을 추가적으로 실현하는 데 기여한다"는 Krueger(1990)의 주장과 일맥상통하는 것으로 보인다.

Nowadays, urbanized area expands its boundary, and distribution of urbanized area is gradually transformed into more complicated pattern. In Korea, SMA(Seoul Metropolitan Area) has outstanding urbanized area since 1960. But it is ambiguous whether urban distribution is clustered or dispersed. That is to say, it is difficult to understand spatial distribution pattern of urbanized area, although urbanized area has grown gradually. This study aims to show the way in which expansions of urbanized area impact on spatial distribution pattern of urbanized area. We use GIS analysis based on raster dataset, quadrat analysis, and nearest neighbor analysis to know distribution pattern of urbanized area in time-series urban growth. Experiments show that cohesion of SMA's urbanized area had increased to the early 1980s, but has decreased from the middle 1980s. Also, urban growth of SMA has been characterized not by spillover growth but by leapfrogging growth and road-influenced growth since the middle 1980s.
