본 논문은 기술추종국(technology follower)으로서의 한국 제조업의 상황을 명시적으로 감안하기 위하여 기술선도국(technology frontier)과의 상대적 생산성 수준을 국제적으로 비교 가능한 방식으로 추정하고, 이러한 상대적 기술격차가 한국 제조업의 산업별 총요소생산성 증가율을 설명함에 있어 어떠한 역할을 하였는가를 분석한다. 1988~2003년 기간 중 한국의 10개 제조업을 대상으로 수행된 실증분석의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째 기존의 연구들에서 발견되는 바와 같이 연구개발 집약도, 무역지수, 인적자본지수 등은 총요소생산성 증가에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째 기술선도국과의 기술격차가 클수록 그리고 기술선도국의 총요소생산성 증가율이 빠를수록 한국의 해당산업 총요소생산성 증가율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째 기술선도국과의 기술격차가 클 경우에는 기술선진국들과의 무역을 통한 기술이전이 연구개발 활동이나 인적자본의 축적 등의 경로보다 해당산업의 총요소생산성을 증가시키는 데 보다 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

This study proposes a Bayesian stochastic frontier model that is well-suited to productivity/efficiency analysis particularly using panel data. A unique feature of our proposal is that both production frontier and efficiency are estimable for each individual firm and their linkage to various firm characteristics enriches our understanding of the source of productivity/efficiency. Empirical application of the proposed analysis to Human Capital Corporate Panel data enables identification and quantification of the effects of Human Resource factors on firm efficiency in tandem with those of firm types on production frontier. A comprehensive description of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo estimation procedure is forwarded to facilitate the use of our proposed stochastic frontier analysis.

This purpose of this research is an attempt to measure and comparatively analyze the efficiencies and RTS(Returns to Scale) using panel data of OECD countries including Korea. In order to achieve this purpose, at first this study used efficient production frontier estimation combined with DEA for obtaining parameter estimates of a efficient production frontier. secondly using estimated results, measured R&D productivity and RTS(Returns to Scale) on all of the OECD countries. thirdly using time-series data related to R&D activity of korea, measured R&D productivity and RTS(Returns to Scale). Finally based on the results of R&D productivity and RTS(Returns to Scale) using efficient production frontier, some policy implications for enhancing the R&D competitiveness and the technological capabilities are discussed.

This paper considers three different models with two functional forms, Cobb-Douglas and Translog, for the stochastic frontier production function of food manufacturing industry of Bangladesh over the period 1981-1982 to 1999-2000. The models are proposed by Battese and Coelli (1992, 1995) and Huang and Liu (1994). The technical efficiency, total factor productivity, technological change and technical efficiency change have been estimated in the frontier models. The results indicate that 41.47%, 59.30% and 70.98% of the potential output are being realized in this sector. The mean increments in total factor productivity are approximately 2%, 9% and 4% respectively.

Whereas a large variety of previous studies show mixed results regarding the relationship between public investment and economic outcome, several studies have been conducted on related issues in Korea. The present study deals with the effect of public investment in Korea on economic growth and productivity. Using administrative data, it exploits three different methodologies: the total factor productivity approach, production function approach, and stochastic frontier production function approach. The results of this study show that public investment has a statistically significant effect on economic growth. However, it contributes little to enhance productivity. It is explained that there exists inefficiency of production in the Korean economy. These findings indicate that public investment has played a central role in the direct input factor and not in indirect role in Korea. Thus, it is necessary for public investment policies to concentrate on enhancing the efficiency of the Korean economy.

This study examines how specific technology from Information and Communications Technology (ICT)-which plays a critical role in increasing productivity by promoting a spread of technology across the society though the use of big data, mobile or wearable devices-impacts of the productivity of society and productivity of added values, respectively. The impact of technology was studied from the perspective of efficiency levels of input. In order to provide an analysis, we have categorized ICT into 16 specific technologies and have set the number of companies and number of employees each as an input factor while setting the respective output and the output of added values as an output factor. Afterwards, we have applied data envelopment analysis (DEA) which is a form of nonparametric frontier analysis and measured the productivity and efficiency of added values for each technology. According to the analysis results, there were 2 technologies by the CRS standards, and 3 technologies by the VRS standards that showed relative efficiency levels. We have also presented some efficiency improvement strategies for specific technologies that revealed relative inefficiency and offered a reference set and projection point. In addition, we provide an analysis on scale efficiencies (SE), diminishing returns to scale (DRS), and increasing returns to scale (IRS) of each ICT.

Vietnam is conducting an export-led growth model and labour-intensive industries contributing majorly to the total export value. In the context of Industry 4.0, the labour-based industries are significantly affected; hence, enhancing productivity is the key measure to maintain these industries. The garment industry contributes significantly to the total export value of Vietnam. Based on meta-frontier framework, the approach of data envelopment analysis is used to measure technical efficiency of Vietnamese garment firms and the global Malmquist TFP index is utilised to identify productivity change and its components including efficiency, technology and technical gaps between different groups of firms. The data of Vietnamese garment firms from 2013 to 2018 collected from the Vietnam General Statistic Office is used in this study. The results show that: (i) The total factor productivity of Vietnamese garment firms growth, technical progress is the main contributor; (ii) The private garment sector is the leading group; (iii) There is a large technological gap among Vietnamese garment sectors. The private and FDI garment firms have experienced a growth in all components of total factor productivity change. Meanwhile, technological progress change is the main reason to constrain the productivity growth of state-owned garment firms.

연구개발 및 정부의 연구개발지원의 성과에 대한 실증연구결과의 중요성에도 불구하고 연구개발투자의 생산성에 대한 영향을 분석하는 계량모형에 관한 논의는 상대적으로 활발하지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 연구개발투자의 생산성에 관한 기존 실증분석연구에서 활용한 계량모형들을 비교하여 모형의 장단점을 논하며 최근 발전된 관련 계량모형을 논함으로써 향후 응용연구에서 모형설정에 필요한 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 특히 기존 연구에서 가정하였던 연구개발투자와 생산성의 관계에 단조성을 완화하여 비단조성을 추정할 수 있는 모형을 소개하고 이를 기반으로 단조성 가정에 대한 검정방법을 논한다. 광공업통계DB에 있는 기업자료 및 OECD국가 패널자료에 논의한 계량모형을 적용함으로써 모형특성의 차이에 따른 추정결과의 차이점을 논한다.

Despite its contribution to the Korean medical service industry the question of how efficiently the Korean public hospitals have operated has been unresolved. This study gauges and analyzes the overall efficiency and the Malmquist productivity index in the industry over the period 1992 through 2001. In addition to cost efficiency. we also measure technical, allocative, pure technical and scale efficiencies. Furthermore. the Malmquist index is decomposed into efficiency and frontier changes. We identify several important factors which seem to have strong relationship with various inefficiency estimates. The results indicate that on average the public hospitals has wasted a significant amount of resources and costs over the period. Unlike many other industries, the low level of cost efficiency of the public hospital industry is mainly due to allocative inefficiency rather than technical inefficiency. The Maimquist productivity indices seem both due to the frontier change and efficiency change, but with more effect by the former. The results also indicate that the turnover of hospital beds has played an important role in determining efficiency and productivity of this important industry.

본 논문은 분석기간 1975:1-2016:4에 걸쳐 한국의 제조업과 서비스업을 대상으로 확률변경 함수로서 초월대수(Translog) 생산함수를 이용하여 총요소생산성을 추정하였다. 또한 추정된 총요소생산성에 영향을 미치는 결정요소로서 산업의 구조와 특성을 반영하는 마크업, 자본탄력도 그리고 수입중간재비중을 포함하는 자기회귀시차모형을 설정하여 총요소생산성의 결정 요소탄력도를 추정하였다. 총요소생산성 증가율은 분석기간 평균값이 제조업은 0.0199 그리고 서비스업은 0.0063으로 추정되었다. 총요소생산성의 마크업탄력도는 제조업은 2.481로 양(+)의 값을 나타낸 반면 서비스업은 -1.403으로 음(-)의 수치를 보이고 있다. 자본집약도 탄력도는 제조업은 0.651 그리고 서비스업은 0.042로 추정되었다. 이러한 실증결과는 산업구조와 특성을 반영하는 마크업과 자본집약도가 제조업과 서비스업의 총요소생산성에 영향을 미치는 중요한 결정변수임을 밝히고 있다.
