본 연구는 국내 지역R&D투자와 지역경제지표 간의 관계를 파악하기 위한 것이다. 연구 방법은 패널VECM을 사용하여 1995~2014년 국내 17개 시 도별 정부 및 민간R&D투자, 고정자본과 고용, 지역내총생산의 상호 간 장 단기 인과관계를 도출하였다. 분석결과, 단기적으로 GRDP의 원인변수는 고정자본, 고용, 그리고 민간R&D투자로 나타났다. 고정자본의 원인변수는 고용, 민간R&D투자로 나타났으며, 고용의 원인변수로는 GRDP와 고정자본으로 나타났다. 장기적으로 고용, 고정자본, 정부R&D투자가 다른 변수들의 장기균형관계로부터 각각 인과관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 목적과 대상 그리고 시간의 흐름에 따라 지역R&D투자의 직 간접적 효과를 함께 고려할 수 있는 추가적인 분석이 요구된다.

This paper seeks to explore the effects of the board structure and director characteristics on the R&D investment of a company. The results from analyzing 95 Korean listed companies reveal that the directors' demographic characteristics substantially affect the R&D intensity. When the directors are younger, major in science or engineering, and have an experience of studying abroad, they tend to be supportive of R&D, thereby increasing the R&D expenditure. Particularly, the effects of insider directors are shown to be greater than those of outside directors, which implies that the Korean corporate boards are mainly operated by insiders. Furthermore, when the relative power of boards is greater than the management, the effects of inside directors, rather than overall directors, on R&D intensity are weakened.

This paper empirically studies the relationship between R&D expenditures and firms value. First, we can conjecture that R&D expenditures are enhancing the firms value. Such findings depend on an existing research, which R&D expenditures are intangible asset rather than expenses. Although, under U.S. accounting standards, financial statements do not report intangible assets but costs. Second, we can conjecture that short-term, the rate of increase in R&D expenditures had negative influence on firms valuation, because such findings indicates that R&D spending of costs incur mis-pricing. But long-term, consistently R&D expenditures may attract investors on the stock market. Third, lately firms focus on capital efficiency management, such a firms R&D expenditures incur high ROE. Generally investors put too much confidence in capital efficiency management and high ROE may attract investors on the stock market. Finally, High-Tech through the R&D investment improve firms competitive advantage, by competitive advantage, firms have reduced cost and raised productivity in the end improve firms value.

The purpose of this study is to examine the causal relationship among R&D spending and variables of technology trade, and to explore promoting R&D activities and revitalizing technology trade. To analyze the causal relationship, we built a multivariate model that consists of government R&D spending, private R&D spending, technical importation and export of techniques, and employed the Granger-causality test based on an error correction model. The results show that there are five Granger-causality relationship among them in the short run, as well as there are eleven Granger-causality relationship among a total of twelve causal relationship, excluding only a unidirectional causality relationship from the government R&D spending to the export of techniques, in the long run. Besides, we attempted the impulse-response analysis on them to observe the reaction of any dynamic system in response to some external change. The significance of this paper is to make sure the causal relationship between R&D investments and the technology trade by analyzing empirically, and to suggest several implications for promoting the R&D activities and revitalizing the technology trade.

주요 선진국에서는 전통적 생산요소인 노동이나 자본에 비하여 기술 진보가 경제성장에 더 큰 기여를 하고 있다고 판단하고, 기술개발을 위한 R&D 투자를 적극적으로 추진하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 IT부문 R&D 투자액이 IT부문 수출 실적에 미치는 효과를 분석하는 한편, 회귀분석 결과를 활용하여 2020년 우리나라 정부가 목표로 하고 있는 수출 1조 달러 달성을 위하여 IT 부문에서 어느 정도의 R&D 투자가 이루어져야 하는 지를 분석한다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of the financial structure of pharmaceutical companies on R&D investment. 358 pharmaceutical firms listed in the KOSDAQ market from 2000 to 2012. Financial statements and comments in general and internal transactions were extracted from TS-2000 of the Korea Listed Company Association (KLCA), and data related to stock price was extracted from KISVALUE-III of NICE Information Service Co., Ltd. STATA 12.0 was used as the statistical package for panel analysis. The summary of the findings and the interpretation of the significance of this are as follows: First, the shareholding ratio of major shareholders and foreigners had a positive influence on R&D investment. Second, the ratio of outside directors had a negative influence on R&D investment. Third, the shareholding ratio of institutional investors did not have a significant influence on R&D investment.

The purpose of this paper is to give policy implications for relevant policy-makers by analyzing factors affecting performance of industrial R&D programs of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy. The independent variables are type of project leader organization(Big Enterprises, SMEs, Ventures Businesses, Public Research Institutions, Universities), cooperative or noncooperative R&D among industry-university-research institution, total number of project participant organization, total R&D investment, and the ratio of private investment to total R&D investment. The dependent variables are domestic or foreign patents granted and domestic or foreign papers accepted. The method of analysis is Poisson Regression analysis operated by STATA. The results of this research are follows ; Universities show higher R&D performance compared to enterprises or public research institutions in terms of patents and papers as well. Venture businesses show higher patent performance compared to SMEs. Inverted U-shaped relationship between total number of project participant organization and R&D performance is not supported. The higher total R&D investment, the higher R&D performance. The higher the ratio of private investment to total R&D investment, the higher R&D performance.

This study is about the demand survey of R&D for preventing disaster and safety accidents. The results are as follows. First, the priorities of technology development is shown in the following order: natural disasters, human and social disaster, and safety accidents. Second, the amount of R&D investment is shown in the following order in respect of disaster management phase: prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. However, investment in the recovery phase was low. Third, it was concentrated on some types the demands of technological development in the public sector. There is a possibility of duplication of technology development in government investment. Suggest that interagency cooperation is required.

This study empirically analyzes the relationship between market structure and R&D activities. Especially, the outcome of R&D activities could be imitated or plagiarized by nearby competitors before it is protected legally through patenting, it would work as a club good and its market structure need to be defined at the geographic level of city, county or ward rather than the whole nation. According to the regression results of this study using Survey on Technology Statistics of Small- and Medium-Sized Firms, individual firms' R&D investment is more active when market structure of area(city, county, or ward)-industry(two-digit industry) is monopolistic or oligopolistic rather than competitive. However, as the variable representing market structure is redefined over a geographic scope of 16 metropolitan areas or provinces, 6 regions, or the whole nation, the relationship between market structure and R&D activities seems to become weak. Moreover, when the R&D expenditure is divided by its source, more active R&D spending in a less competitive market is observed as long as it is procured by internal fund of the firm in question.

For the continuous growth of the construction industry and the increase of the global competitiveness, research and development of construction technology is necessary. However, the R&D investment of Korean government for the construction industry is not sufficient compared with other countries and the various policies for encouraging construction R&D investment need to be improved too. This research focuses on the promotion of the construction R&D by the private sector that is one of the principal body of construction R&D and also the final user of the developed construction technology. This research suggests three promotion directions for the construction R&D by private sector; (1) the direction of creating better R&D investment climate, (2) the direction of increasing R&D investment amount, and (3) the direction of fostering R&D activities immediately.
