This paper studied balanced regional development focused on employment in Korea, by analyzing regional disparity between regional and industrial employment. A Gini-coefficient decomposition method and Panel Granger causality test were conducted, using raw data of the Census on Establishments reported by the Statistics Korea. The regional and industrial disparity of employment, based on the Gini-coefficient decomposition method, have increased by year. However, the growth rates of disparity are on the decrease. Most of employment disparity occurred from regional disparity between SMA (Seoul Metropolitan Area) and Non-SMA. Industrial disparity are occurred mainly by the service industry. The amount of contribution to the whole disparity of inter/intra regional employment was differed by each industrial sector. Also the causal relationship between employment growth of manufacture and that of service industry was analyzed by Panel Granger causality test. In national level, the employment growth in manufacture industry has conduced that in service industry. On the other hand, in the Non-SMA, only the employment growth in manufacture industry has augmented that in service industry. In conclusion, to reduce employment disparity, the strategy for balanced regional development should be emphasized. Different strategies are needed across regions and industries. Basically creating new job in the Non-SMA is inevitable. In view of stable employment, manufacture industry is more desirable rather than service industry.

The government established Special Accounts for Balanced National Development in 2005, and the Metropolitan Council has enacted and executed ordinance relevant to special accounts to relieve regional unbalanced growth and to promote regional balanced growth. This study derived a political implication through the comparison analysis of the background of establishment and its purpose, the selection criteria of support target, finance scale and tax revenue finance, appropriation target and finance distribution, etc. on the basis of Chungcheongnam-do Special Accounts for Balanced Development and Jeollabuk-do Eastern part Special Accounts among the special accounts implemented in metropolitan council. The major conclusions of this study are as follows. First, the transition from the concept of balanced development to specialized development is necessary for the development of distressed region. Second, the pure wastefulness ratio of the local government's tax revenue finance of special accounts designed concentrating upon special accounts for Wide-area Autonomous Communities development should be gradually expanded. Third, Special Accounting budget should be supported to promote specialized development through the selection and concentration centering around comparatively advantageous resource within the region. Fourth, the strategic special accounts budget application system of cities and counties to utilize the projects of the government and the province to achieve the goal of cities and counties should be prepared.

본 논문은 세계화가 지역의 성장격차에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 16개 광역자치단체를 대상으로 무역의존도와 외국인직접투자를 세계화변수로 정하였으며 그 변수들이 지역간 성장격차에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 추정 결과 지역간 성장격차에 있어서 외국인직접투자가 유의한 영향을 미쳤으며 무역의존도(개방도)는 격차에 유의한 영향을 주는 변수가 되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과 우리나라에서 지역갈등의 원인이 되고 있는 지역간 성장격차를 해소하고 균형적인 성장을 기하기 위해서는 취약지역에 외국인투자 특히, 신산업분야의 국내외투자를 적극 유치하는 것이 필요하다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 이에 따라 그동안 외국인직접투자를 지역발전정책의 수단이기 보다는 주로 외자유치차원에서 관심을 가져왔으나, 앞으로는 지역격차의 시정을 위한 중요한 정책수단으로 활용할 필요가 있다.

As a result of this study, the income generation effect of local universities on the local economy through the Daranee (1976) model was found to be 110.9 billion won (direct and indirect income 78 billion won, induced income 32.9 billion won). In the case of Korea, it has been verified through a number of previous studies that local universities play a role in preventing the outflow of local talent to the metropolitan area. Considering this, it seems that the government should make bold investments to foster local universities in terms of balanced national development. This is because the movement of local talents to the metropolitan area not only undermines the growth potential of the provinces and undermines the basis for regional existence, but also creates a vicious cycle that hinders balanced national development. To break this vicious cycle, the development of local universities is very important. It is judged that the horizon of balanced national development will be opened when local universities revitalize the local economy through the government's bold investment in local universities and are reborn as entities that provide various services based on the facilities and equipment of local universities.

By the end of 2017, in a world of 7.6 billion people, there were inequalities in healthcare indices both within and between nations, and this gap continues to increase. Therefore, this study aims to understand the current status of regional inequalities in healthcare indices and to find an action plan to tackle regional health inequality through a geo-economic review in Korea. Since 2008, there was great inequality in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy by region in not only metropolitan cities but also districts in Korea. While the community health statistics from 2008-2017 show a continuous increase of inequality during the last 10 years in most healthcare indices related to noncommunicable diseases (except for some, like smoking), the inequality has doubled in 254 districts. Furthermore, health inequality intensified as the gap between urban (metropolitan cities) and rural regions (counties) for rates of obesity (self-reported), sufficient walking practices, and healthy lifestyle practices increased from twofold to fivefold. However, regionalism and uneven development are natural consequences of the spatial perspective caused by state-lead developmentalism as Korea has fixed the accumulation strategy as its model for growth with the background of export-led industrialization in the 1960s and heavy and chemical industrialization in the 1970s, although the Constitution of the Republic of Korea recognizes the legal value of balanced development within the regions by specifying "the balanced development of the state" or "ensuring the balanced development of all regions." In addition, the danger of a 30% decline or extinction of local government nationwide is expected by 2040 as we face not only a decline in general and ageing populations but also the era of the demographic cliff. Thus, the government should continuously operate the "Special Committee on Regional Balanced Development" with a government-wide effort until 2030 to prevent disparities in the health conditions of local residents, which is the responsibility of the nation in terms of strengthening governance. To address the regional inequalities of rural and urban regions, it is necessary to re-adjust the basic subsidy and cost-sharing rates with local governments of current national subsidies based mainly on population scale, financial independence of local government, or distribution of healthcare resources and healthcare indices (showing high inequalities) overall.

The Republic of Korea developed a national project to construct a new administrative capital, Sejong city and to relocate administrative organizations of the central government for improvement of overpopulated capital, Seoul and regional balanced development. By the way, to relocate the central administrative organizations was not a sufficient condition for the sustainable development of the city. An industrial infrastructure development has been tried to attract universities, enterprises and research institutions in the region as a demand for internal growth power of the city was increased. In addtion, a basis for regional endogenous growth through projects to establish innovation system based on industry-academia cooperation was prepared as well. This paper reviews the major contents of the development plans for Tech-Valley project and looks into major introductory functions, characterization plans, strategies for fostering strategic industry, cooperation system of the inside and outside the region, and a strategy for building innovation platform. This case can be regarded as a significance of constructing technology infrastructure for the sustainable growth by preparing foundation for establishing innovation system and a cluster based on this system in the process of building and developing new city which did not have any industrial platform in the region.

Purpose - This dissertation is based on previous research, and analyzes processing trade, which constitutes a major section of foreign trade in Shandong Province. Research design, data, and methodology - The study uses the survey data on polarization, which is a vital index reflecting the unbalanced growth of regional economic development. The article introduces the processing trade polarization index, and the processing trade polarization fluctuation rate, to predict the geographical polarization posture and development trends in Shandong Province. Results -The development of processing trade in Shandong Province shows the level of gradient from east to west. The first-line growth pole has been formed and developed, and the initial formation of the diffusion mechanism has taken place. However, coordination problems in accompanying regional development have become increasingly prominent. Conclusions - This study focuses on the development of processing trade strategy and suggests overall coordination of development objectives, using non-balanced development goals. According to regional characteristics and development objectives of the processing trade in Shandong Province, the region around the city is divided into innovation diffusion region, enhanced growth areas, areas expected to undertake development, and areas to upgrade in four levels, given the different policy proposals.

This paper evaluates explanations for China's growth slowdown. The natural tendency for rapidly growing economies to slow down is a major factor, along with problems bequeathed by unbalanced growth, including a declining ICOR, slowing total factor productivity growth, and rising indebtedness. A number of other mechanisms are of lesser importance: demographics, President Xi's centralization of political power and anti-corruption campaign, and U.S. export controls. Sustaining growth in the longer term will require China to step away from investment, debt and export-fueled growth in favor of a balanced growth model with household consumption playing a larger role. Doing so will require hardening of the budget constraints of regional and local governments and restructuring of the nonperforming debts of property and construction companies.

우리나라는 한국전 이후 세계 경제를 따라잡기 위하여 수도권과 동남권 일부 지역을 중심으로 경제개발 정책을 추진하여 왔다. 그 결과 수도권과 비수도권 간의 지역격차가 점차 커지게 되었고 문민정부의 출범 이후 지방자치제의 도입과 함께 비수도권 지역에서 해당지역의 발전에 대한 관심을 갖기 시작하였다. 국민정부의 출범과 동시에 4개(부산, 대구, 경남, 광주) 지자체에서 지역산업 진흥사업을 추진하기에 이르렀고 이것이 지역정책의 출발점 되었다. 이후 참여정부에서는 지역정책의 기반을 마련하였다. 국가균형발전을 실현하기 위하여 국가균형발전특별법 제정, 국가균형발전특별회계 신설, 국가균형발전 위원회 설립 및 국가균형발전5개년계획 수립 등 일련의 제도적 기반을 구축하였다. 지역산업 육성을 위하여 기존의 4개 지역 외에 9개 지역을 추가하여 4+9의 전략산업 육성사업을 추진하였다. 이후 현 정부에서는 세계적인 지역정책의 변화에 맞추어 보다 효율적인 정책집행을 위하여 획일적인 균형보다 지역경쟁력 강화로 정책목표를 수정하였고 지역정책의 공간범주 또한 규모의 경제에 맞게 초광역개발권, 광역경제권, 기초생활권으로 구분하여 차별화된 정책을 추진하였으며, 지방분권 강화를 위하여 포괄보조금 성격의 예산을 늘였다. 지역산업을 육성하기 위하여 광역경제권 수준에서 선도산업 육성사업, 시도 수준에서는 전략산업 육성사업, 기초생활권에서는 지역특화산업 육성사업을 추진하여 미래의 성장동력 확보 및 지역경제 활성화를 도모하였다. 이러한 지역정책의 중심에는 지식경제부가 주도적인 역할을 수행하고 있으며, 산업 육성을 통한 지역발전을 추진하고 있다는 점에서 다른 나라와는 차이를 보이고 있다. 이제 지역산업 육성으로 시작된 지역정책이 어느덧 13여년이 되어 정책의 성과를 바탕으로 정책 방향이나 추진전략을 되짚어 볼 때가 되었다. 본 연구는 그 동안 추진되어 온 지역산업 육성정책을 전체적으로 검토하고 향후의 정책 수립을 위하여 문제점과 수정보완 방향에 대하여 정리하였다. 우선 2012년과 2013년에 종료되는 선도산업과 전략산업 육성사업의 재편이 검토 중에 있다. 두 사업에서 선정한 산업들의 중복은 물론 지원프로그램 간의 중복 등의 문제가 표출되었기 때문이다. 또한, 단순한 기술개발 지원 등과 같은 재정보조보다는 산업생태계 구축 등 간접적이지만 기업의 자생력을 강화할 수 있는 지원 방안이 필요하다. 마지막으로 부처별로 분할된 각각의 부문별 정책이 아닌 지역산업정책 추진 주체간의 원활한 소통을 바탕으로 하는 포괄적인 지역산업 육성 정책을 마련하여야 할 것이다.
