본 논문은 한국 바이오에너지산업의 부가가치창출구조가 선순환을 나타내고 있는지를 바이오에너지기업 내 가치사슬을 통해 분석하고 있다. 연구 방법은 한국 바이오에너지기업을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 통해 연구개발-생산-이익률 등에 걸친 가치사슬 내 공정 간 인과관계에 대한 회귀분석을 활용하였다. 기업 내 가치사슬 분석의 결과, 한국 바이오에너지기업에서 기업의 연구개발 성과 증가는 기업의 생산량 증가에, 기업의 제품 생산비용 감소는 기업의 매출액 대비 경상이익률 증가에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 정부의 연구개발 지원은 기업의 연구개발 투자 증가로 이어지지 못하고, 기업의 연구개발 성과 증가에 기여하지 못한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 기업의 제품 생산량 증가는 기업의 제품 생산비용 감소에는 기여하지 못한 것으로 분석되었다. 한편, 경상이익률의 증가가 생산량의 증가와 기업의 연구개발투자 증가에는 기여하지 못하고 있어 가치사슬의 선순환구조가 취약한 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 실증분석의 결과로부터 국내 바이오에너지기업의 공정 간 부가가치의 선순환 구조를 구축하기 위해서는 생산량의 증가와 규모의 경제효과를 달성을 위한 지원정책이 필요하다. 또한 경상이익률 증가가 생산량 증가와 연구개발투자 증가를 유발하는 정책을 추진할 필요가 있다.

정부는 기업의 R&D 활동을 촉진하기 위해 자금지원 정책을 펼치고 있다. 공공 자금지원이 기업의 R&D 투자에 미치는 영향을 다룬 기존 문헌들은 주로 단일 정책에 초점을 두며 다른 정책도구의 잠재적인 영향을 고려하지 않는 한계가 있었다. 이에 본 연구는 중소기업에 중심을 두고 대표적인 재정지원 도구인 자금지원과 세제지원의 조합이 R&D 투자에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 중소기업기술통계조사 3개년 (2015-2017) 자료를 기반으로 고정효과모형을 통해 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저, 정책조합은 중소기업 R&D 투자에 정적인(+) 영향을 주며, 상호 보완적이다. 둘째, 조세지원의 영향을 통제하는 경우에도 자금지원은 중소기업 R&D 투자와 정적인(+) 관계를 가진다. 이러한 결과는 중소기업의 R&D 투자 촉진을 위한 우리나라의 재정지원에 대한 정당성을 의미한다. 또한 자원과 역량에 대한 제약이 있는 중소기업에게 있어 특히 자금지원이 유용한 정책수단으로 적용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구에서는 중소벤처기업부 벤처기업정밀실태조사 결과 산출된 원데이터(raw data)를 구득하여 2016년~2021년 데이터를 이용하여 대전지역의 벤처기업을 중심으로 정부의 자금지원 정책효과를 실증분석하였다. 대전 지역은 경제 규모를 고려하였을 때 전국에 비해 경제에서 차지하는 벤처기업의 비중이 매우 크며 기술개발 지향적 특성을 갖고 있다. 벤처기업 데이터를 pooling하여 회귀분석한 결과, 대전 벤처기업에 대한 자금지원 효과의 주요 특징은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기업 전체에 대한 회귀분석의 결과, 매출 및 시장점유율 개선을 위해서는 융자 및 보증서 지원이 효과적이고 기술개발을 ㅣ럴 위해서는 R&D 지원이 효과적인 것을 발견하였다. 성장단계별로, R&D지원 및 융자지원은 4단계(성숙기)에서 매출에 가장 큰 영향을 주지만 보증서 지원은 3단계에 가장 큰 영향을 준다. 지재권에 대한 영향은 R&D지원과 융자지원 모두 2단계(초기성장기)에 큰 영향을 미친다. 또한 산업별로 수치들을 통합한 패널데이터를 구축하여 분석한 결과, 자금지원의 효과가 기업데이터 분석의 경우보다 산업데이터 분석에서 더 크게 나타나고 있다는 점을 발견하였다. 이는 자금지원 정책이 단순히 해당 수혜기업의 성과 개선에만 그치지 않고 산업내의 다른 기업에도 확산되는 효과가 있다는 것을 의미할 수 있다. 이러한 실증분석 결과들에 근거하여 다음과 같은 정책적 시사점을 제안하였다. 첫째, 벤처기업에 대해서는 자본시장에 맡겨두어 투자가 이루어지도록 하는 것보다는 정부가 적극적인 자금지원을 해야한다. 둘째, 자금지원의 목적에 따라 지원 방법과 대상을 달리 해야 한다. 셋째, 개발된 기술을 상업화할 수 있도록 벤처기업과 민간투자자를 연결하는 플랫폼의 구축이 필요하다. 넷째, 기술집약적 벤처기업에 대한 벤처캐피탈의 자금지원이 확대되어야 한다.

Rank of Chungnam's flower industry in Korea is sixth in the number of flower fanning household and fifth in the flower cultivating land size in 2000. However, based on the SWOT analysis of Chungnam's agro-environmental factors influencing flower growing, it is noted that further shift of the regional flower industry up to 2nd highest rank nationally can be demonstrated. Strategies for achieving such targets are suggested as follows ; 1) specializing in flower varieties with regional comparative advantage, such as orchids, lily and rose, 2) establishing the educational system for farmers to manage the risks of market price fluctuation, flower cultivation and agricultural finance properly, 3) enlarging the investments in R&D and research facilities 4) assigning the efficient function and communication among the local government, farmers and agricultural marketeers so as to increase the flower exportation.

Explainable AI (XAI) is an approach that leverages artificial intelligence to support human decision-making. Recently, governments of several countries including Korea are attempting objective evidence-based analyses of R&D investments with returns by analyzing quantitative data. Over the past decade, governments have invested in relevant researches, allowing government officials to gain insights to help them evaluate past performances and discuss future policy directions. Compared to the size that has not been used yet, the utilization of the text information (accumulated in national DBs) so far is low level. The current study utilizes a text mining strategy for monitoring innovations along with a case study of smart-farms in the Honam region.

As artificial intelligence advances, major countries are actively promoting the use of intelligent robots to improve industrial productivity and enhance the quality of life. As robots become more capable of interacting with humans, they are being increasingly integrated into the human realm. Accordingly, major countries are actively implementing policies to lead intelligent robot technology and secure market leadership. We examine the status of policies related to intelligent robots in five countries: United States, China, Japan, Germany, and South Korea. These countries apply 1) government-led intelligent robot policies, 2) investments to secure core robot technologies and promote the convergence of artificial intelligence and robots, 3) programs for research and development on intelligent robots, 4) strengthened human-centered human-robot interaction and collaboration, and 5) ethics, stability, and reliability in the development and use of robot technologies. For Korea to compete with major countries and promote the intelligent robot industry, high-risk, high-performance innovation projects should be prioritized.

Since 1995 the Korean Ministry of Science and Technology has introduced and implemented a project based system (PBS) for awarding R&D funds. While capital investments for national laboratories such as buildings and research facilities are supported by the government, normal operating expenses including personnel expenses should be earned by national laboratories through open competition under PBS. The project budget includes both direct research costs and indirect costs. The purpose of this paper is to examine the components of indirect costs and to examine determinants of indirect costs of national laboratories in Korea. The indirect costs of nineteen national laboratories are examined. The direct personnel costs and indirect personnel costs out of total personnel costs are 72% and 28%, respectively. The average indirect cost rate is 74.1% of direct personnel costs. Major components of indirect costs are general operating costs, indirect personnel costs, taxes and dues, and expenses related to the usage of equipment. The significant determinants of indirect cost are indirect personnel ratio. the ratio of unique projects, the type of national laboratories (pure research laboratories or other), and asset activity ratio measured as research divided by total assets. The high indirect personnel ratio, the high ratio of unique projects, the laboratories classified as other, the low asset activity ratio are related to high indirect cost rates.

The key conditions for the promotion of innovative technology-based start-ups are expanding the market for innovative technology products and services, increasing equity-based funding opportunities, promoting the commercialization of technological innovation, and establishing a fair-trade system for start-ups to compete fairly in the market. Besides, there is a need for a support system that minimizes the cost of failure in case of business failure to facilitate re-challenge and provides education and training opportunities to enhance entrepreneurial capabilities. To activate technology-based start-ups, the Korean government introduced the TIPS policy in 2013. It is a program that creates technology start-up with private investment led by successful venture entrepreneurs, which has shown remarkable achievement and is regarded as the most successful policy in this field up to now. The most critical factor contributed to the success of this program is to invite private investors to select a technology entrepreneurship team and provide mentoring with the investment. The government provides R&D funding with matching investment, commercialization and marketing support to ensure that technology start-ups survive crossing the death-valley. Subsequent investments from domestic and abroad investors are actively made and it is becoming a representative technology-based start-up program in Korea.

The development of informatization impacts all sectors, including agriculture. Agricultural informatization builds the knowledge linkage structures of agricultural innovation systems globally. This study investigated the global knowledge linkage structures in agricultural innovation pertinent to information technology (IT) for agricultural research and development (R&D) investments and activities. We explored the longitudinal trend of systemness within the networked research relationships in the triple helix (TH) of the university, industry and government (UIG). We collected data from publications in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) to analyze the TH network dynamics. We also performed a scientometrics analysis to quantitatively identify the knowledge and insights of global agricultural innovation structures. These results could be informative for individual countries. Our findings reveal that the global knowledge linkage structures in the agricultural sector that are pertinent to IT fluctuate widely and fail to increase the capacity of agricultural innovation research due to a neglect of the network effects of the TH dynamics of UIG.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), known widely as the "stimulus" bill, developed by the U.S. Congress and President-elect Obama in late 2008 and early 2009, is investing a significant portion of its $787 billion infusion of funds in future-oriented programs intended not only to "jump-start" the stalled American economy, but to promote the development of renewable energy sources and increase energy efficiency in appliances, buildings, transportation, and other sectors of the economy. These investments are expected both to create immediate employment in green industries and to build a more sustainable society in the long term. The Obama Administration's green energy initiatives are part of a larger emphasis on science and technology within its agenda. It has roots in the Obama campaign and is supported by an unusually strong science and technology team. Much of the activity is centered in the Department of Energy, which received a huge one-time increase in its fiscal year 2009 budget to support the new and expanded programs. Areas that have been neglected by the federal government R&D program for many years, including smart grid technology, solar, wind, and geothermal energy, received large boosts. Many of these programs - and, in fact, the broader concept of government involvement in commercial innovation - are politically controversial Previous attempts to expand research in these areas by liberal Democratic administrations and Congresses have been criticized and sometimes thwarted by conservatives. Whether President Obama's efforts will meet with more success, both politically and technologically, remains to be seen.
