  • Purpose - The introduction and expansion of the railway network since the 19th century brought revolutionary changes in economic activities, performance, and structure. The purpose of this study is estimating the impact of railroads on the local agricultural and manufacturing structures in the 19th century USA. Research design, data, and methodology - To identify the impact of railroads on local economic structure, county-level panel data from the U.S. census were analyzed using a panel fixed-effect differences-in-differences regression. The empirical investigation focuses on whether railroads changed the overall volume and sectoral composition of the local agricultural sector, and whether they contributed to the growth of the local manufacturing industry and its productivity. Results - The railroad introduction led to the relative decline of the agricultural sector, while encouraging the growth of market-oriented gardening. As such, manufacturing productivity increased by the introduction of railroads, although manufacturing inputs and home manufactures were unaffected. Conclusions - The findings imply that railroads contributed to the growth of market-oriented farming in rural areas, and the rise of productivity in the local manufacturing sector. Meanwhile, evidence of railroad-driven growth for the entire agricultural sector or a massive reallocation of resources from agriculture to manufacturing were not found.

  • 이 논문은 통계청의 연구비지원으로 수행한 연구인 ‘여성인구의 특성 및 변화’의 일부로서, 인구학회와 통계청이 공동으로 개최한 <인구변화와 한국사회의 미래변화에 대한 세미나>에서 발표한 논문을 수정한 것이다. 여성의 인구구조는 지역간의 인구이동에도 불구하고 지역별로 상당히 다르고, 여성의 경제활동상태와 취업구조 또한 지역별 산업구조의 차이로 인해서 지역간에 상당한 차이를 보인다. 그럼에도 불구하고 지금까지 지역별 여성의 인구구조와 취업구조의 차이에 대한 연구가 거의 이루어지지 않고, 지방정부 또한 지역여성인구에 대한 특성을 제대로 파악하지 못하고 있다. 그 결과 지방정부가 수립${\cdot}$시행하고 있는 여성정책들의 실효성과 효율성은 상당히 낮은 것으로 평가되고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 <인구주택총조사> 2% 표본자료의 기술적인 분석(descriptive analysis)을 통해서, 지역별 여성의 인구구조, 경제활동상태, 취업구조 등에 대한 개괄적인 현황을 파악하고, 향후 지방정부의 여성정책에 대한 기본적인 방향을 제시하였다.

  • We have examined its current economic conditions and status of the Bangsamoro in Mindanao and derived some important policy recommendation to build the future development plan. For this purpose, we first estimate the economic size and GRDP per capita and investigate next several economic and social indicators such as poverty rate and industrial structure. We find that the Bangsamoro is the least developed region in Philippines whose average income is the lowest and whose poverty rate is the highest in the Philippines. In addition, its industrial structure is very falling behind. Applying simple theory of economic growth, we find that several economic reasons such as lack of private and public investment caused by the political instability, high illiterate rate and less education, incapability of local government account for it. As a result, several policy recommendations are suggested to make the development plan of the Bangsamoro. First, the plan should be very comprehensive and second, it should be a very sustainable one equipped with the long run one and short run one. Third, the plan should be harmonized with that of the central government and those of neighboring local governments. Fourth, it should exploit the assistance of international development organization.

  • This Paper will use various analysis tools that have not been used a lot by the existing researches, and also use the statistics of trade until August 2007 to measure and analyze the trade relationship between China and Korea. This study, which is basic study to studies to be conducted later, has been performed to establish effective economic cooperative relations between Korea and China by examining trade structure of the two countries through trade-related indexes. Therefore, this study has academic values as a theoretical study which can explain economic effects of the Korea-China FTA. However, as data used for this study was based on the data of the National Statistics Office in general, this study was executed with realistic limitations owing to lack of local data. I will supplement this later and do my best to conduct a precise study.

  • The world's sustainable growth is being severely hampered by the inefficient use of water resources. Despite the widely acknowledged importance of trade in global and regional water and food security, societal reliance on local production as well as international trade remains inadequately assessed. Therefore, using South Korea as a case study, this study fills in this research gap by applying the virtual water concept, the logarithmic mean divisia index (LMDI) method, and the Tapio decoupling model. The virtual water concept was used to estimate South Korea's net virtual water trade for major grain crops from 1992 to 2017. Then, the LMDI method was utilized to assess the driving factors causing changes in net virtual water trade. Lastly, the Tapio decoupling model was used to investigate the decoupling relationships between economic growth and the driving factors of net virtual water trade. Results showed that South Korea remains a net importer of virtual water flows with respect to grain crops, with an average import of 16,559.24 million m3 over the study period. In addition, the change in net virtual water trade could be attributed to water intensity effect, product structure effect, economic effect, and population effect. However, water intensity and economic effects were the major decisive factors for decrease and increase in net virtual water trade respectively, while the population and product structure effects had minor positive influences on the net virtual water trade. Furthermore, water intensity and economic growth showed a strong decoupling in most periods, while the decoupling state between product structure and economic growth was observed as expansive negative decoupling. Likewise, population size and economic growth showed a weak decoupling in most periods. The results reveal South Korea's status as it concerns the virtual water trade of grain crops, thus providing valuable insights into the sustainability of trade activities for the management of local water resources.

  • This study suggests that Korea - Russia economic cooperation, which has been sluggish in the meantime, should be revitalized as a small, medium sized business that can be practiced at the local level of both countries. Some large scales of national projects were difficult to realize due to some internal and external factors. Therefore, if Russia's Far East region of the complementary economic structure with the Korea's Gyeonggi Province of Korea could form the basis of cooperation by centering on SMEs, it further can be positive for promoting cooperation among South Korea, North Korea and Russia. The trilateral cooperation among two Koreas and Russia is necessary for the balance of political and economic powers in the East Asia. China's retaliation case regarding THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) clearly showed that the greater the economic dependence on a particular country, the more threatening it could be. Therefore, it is important for the political and economic security to keep the balance by diversifying economic cooperation counterparts. As China's influence in the global economy grows, building value chains for mutual prosperity with various neighboring countries is gaining great importance. To this end, this paper examined Russia's Eurasian Strategy, New East Policy, and Far East Development Policy which were designed to seek the way to establish Russia's independent economic zone not absorbed by Europe and China.

  • 본 연구는 경제지리학의 인식론적 접근방법과 지역을 기반으로 연구를 전개하는 지리학의 존재론에서 그 접근방법을 살펴보고, 이를 바탕으로 우리나라 경제지리학의 체계화를 시도하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 1956년부터 시작된 한국의 경제지리학 연구는 그 동안 학문의 독자성이나 연구 접근방법의 체계화에 대한 논의가 없이 선진국 학문의 발달 속에서 이루어져 왔다고 할 수 있다. 그래서 접근방법의 체계화를 위한 인식론과 존재론의 축을 기준으로 신고전경제파, 지리적 정치경제파, 지역구조파, 지방자치단체 경제파로 나누어 체계화를 구축했다. 이러한 경제지리학의 체계화에 경제활동의 주요 이론인 세계시스템론이나 조절이론, 네트워크론, 제도주의 등도 내적으로 포섭해 가면서 지적 변화를 추구해 나아가야 할 것이다.

  • 오늘날 대학은 지역발전에 여러 가지로 기여하지만, 특히 대학에서 육성된 인재의 지역노동시장으로의 이전은 인적자본의 축적과 함께 지역경제의 경쟁력 확보에 중요하게 작용한다. 본 연구는 전남대학을 사례로 졸업생의 졸업에 있어 구조적 특성과 취업지의 분포, 그리고 취업전략을 규명하고자 한다. 전남대학 졸업생의 취업률 추이는 우리 나라 전체 대졸자 취업률을 경향적으로 좇아가지만, 지역의 취약한 산업구조로 인하여 전국 평균에 미치지 못하고 있다. 졸업생 가운데 취업자의 취업지 분포는 (대)도시로의 집중과 광주.전남지역 및 수도권으로의 양극화 현상을 뚜렷이 보여주며, 또한 이들 졸업생의 취업전략에 있어서는 직업적 유연성을 통해 노동시장의 요구에 대처하기보다는 공간적 이동성을 통한 적응을 선호하는 측면이 부각되고 있다. 전체적으로 전남대학 졸업생의 취업과 관련하여 이른바 두뇌유출 양상이 나타나며, 따라서 전남대학이 졸업생을 통하여 지역경제 발전과 국지적 노동시장의 자질개선에 기여하는 정도는 제한적임을 알 수 있다.

  • 지방자치제도가 정착되면서 각 지자체들이 지역의 발전을 위하여 지역산업 육성을 위한 정책을 계획하고 실행하는데, 이를 위해서는 지역의 여건에 맞는 산업입지 및 경제기반을 구축하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 지역의 발전을 위해서는 지역산업의 발전이 선행되어야 하며, 해당 지역의 여건에 맞는 산업을 집중하여 발전시킬 필요가 있다. 이 연구는 전국을 7개 지역으로 구분하고, 2005 지역산업연관표의 78개 부분 생산유발계수 열합계 자료를 이용하여, 인자분석을 실시하였으며 8개의 인자를 추출하였다. 제1인자는 동남권을 중심으로 파급효과가 높은 산업, 제2인자는 수도권, 제3인자는 대경권과 호남권, 제4인자는 제주권, 제5인자는 강원권과 관련이 높은 산업이 도출되었다. 제6인자는 충청, 호남, 대경, 동남권 내부적으로 파급효과가 큰 산업을 설명하고 있으며, 제7인자는 제주권에서 수요가 증가되었을 때 타지역에서 파급효과가 큰 산업, 마지막으로 제8인자는 타지역에서 수요가 증가할 경우 충청권에 파급효과가 큰 산업으로 분석되었다.
