This paper investigates empirically the relationship between various business portfolio properties (particularly technological properties) and chaebol's performance using data on the 50largest chaebols in Korea. In addition to the traditional indexes to measure diversification such as entropy index, we calculated inter-industry technological similarity using R'||'&'||'D expenditure data by industry and 1990 Input-output Table in korea, and obtained chaebol-level technological relatedness and internal transaction proportion from chaebols' business profile, inter-inustry technological similarity and 1990 input-output table. We applied factor analysis on 13 business portfolio property indexes and showed that they could be grouped into 3 dimensions. diversification scope, inter-business relatedness and degree of vertical integration. In this paper, using 50 largest chaebols' financial data (1989-1994), we analyzed empirically the effect of business portfolio properties on ROS(Return On Sales) which is conventional index for firm performance and on TFP(Total Factor Productivity) growth which is a pure measure of firm performance. To utilize the advantage of panel data, FEM(Fixed Effect Model) and REM(Random Effect Model) were used. The empirical result shows that the entropy index as a measurement of inter-business relatedness in not significant but technological relatedness index is significant. OLS estimates on pooled data were considerably different from FEM or REM estimates on panel data. By introducing interaction effect among the three variables for business portfolio properties, we obtained three findings. First, only VI(Vertical integration) has a significant positive correlation with ROS. Second, when using TFP growth as an dependent variable, both TR(Technological Relatedness) and VI are significant and positively related to the dependent variable. Third, the interaction term between TR and VI is significant and negatively affects TFP growth, meaning that TR and VI are substitutes. These results suggest strategic directions on restructuring business portfolio. As VI is increased, chaebols will get more profit. A higher level of either TR or VI will increase TFP growth rate, but increase in both TR and VI will have a negative effect on TFP growth. To summarize, certain business portfolio properties such as VI and TR can be considered "resources" themselves since they can affect profit rate and productivity growth. VI and TR have a synergy effect of change in profit rate and productivity growth. VI increases ROS and productivity growth, while TR increases productivity growth representing a technological synergy effect.t.

The notion of productivity has been extended from the quantitative change of input factors to the efficiency change meaning efficient use of resources, and to the technical change meaning the qualitative improvement of input resources. In this way, the technical change is termed as total factor productivity in the individual businesses or the manufacturing industries. They should efficiently respond to the variations of economic environment and at the same time, have to make the efforts to improve productivity by increasing managerial efficiency and rasing the level of technology change for the continuous growth. Considering the growing importance of productivity, this study closely examines the factors influctuation on the productivity, fluctuation using total factor productivity in korean manufacturing industries. For the objective this study investigates the methods of measurement about total factor productivity, establishes the hypotheses based on the preceding research and finding. The results are obtained through the examination on the outcoms of regression analysis and related data. The results can be summarized as follows, First, in the progress of korean industrialization, the qualitative growth does not depend on the total factor productivity of the technical advance, and does not lead to the industry expansion. That is, the contribution of total factor productivity turns out to be relatively low. Second, it is necessary for the manufacturing industry to improve the level of technology and to emphasize the innovation of business, since the capital investment does not completely become fixed in the growth rate of productivity. Finally, continuous R&D investment should be made to increase total factor productivity. Namely, the regulation of industrial structure with an intensive technical development is essential and should be based on scientific and technical knowledge.

서비스 산업의 중요성이 높아짐에 따라 경제에 있어서 서비스의 역할에 대한 연구도 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 연구는 주로 경제의 서비스화와 일국의 생산성의 관계를 중심으로 연구되었다. Baumol(1967)은 경제의 서비스화는 일반적으로 생산성 저하 현상을 야기할 것이라는 우려를 제시했으나 선진국의 경우 생산성이 오히려 상승하는 Baumol의 역설 현상이 발생하였다. Oulton(1999, 2001)은 이러한 현상의 이유로 하나의 산업에서의 생산이 타 산업으로부터 중간재를 공급받아 생산되는 연쇄과정인 전후방연관효과에서 찾고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 OECD 국가를 대상으로 Oulton(1999, 2001)의 이론을 실증적으로 검증해 볼 필요성이 있다고 판단하였다. 연구 결과, Oulton(1999, 2001)의 이론과 같이 서비스의 중간투입 비중이 상승하면 다요소생산성(Multifactor Productivity)이 상승하였다. 특히 일반서비스와 달리 지식집약적 서비스가 중간재로 투입될 경우 일국의 생산성 향상을 가져오는 것으로 나타났다.

산업부문에서 '저탄소 녹색성장'의 달성 가능성은 기존 화석연료 사용의 의존도를 줄이는 것이 장기적으로 산업 생산성의 향상으로 이어질 수 있느냐에 달려 있다고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 제조업을 대상으로 에너지절약시설에 대한 투자가 산업 생산성에 미치는 장단기 파급효과를 분석하는 이론적 모형을 제시하고 계량분석기법을 통하여 통계적 유의성 유무를 검증하였다. 에너지절약시설에 투자할 경우 단기적으로는 투자지출이 늘어나 생산비용이 증가하는 '측정효과'와 기술혁신을 위한 신규투자가 지연되는 부(負)의 '실질효과', 장기적으로는 에너지집약도가 개선되어 생산비용이 절감되는 정(正)의 '실질효과' 등이 나타날 수 있다. 산업 생산성의 변화를 설명하는 데 있어서 에너지절약시설 투자규모의 내생성 문제를 해결하기 위하여 2SLS 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 생산액 대비 에너지 투입비용이 상대적으로 높은 제조업 5개 부문을 대상으로 1982년~2006년까지의 연도별 자료를 사용하여 에너지절약시설 투자의 생산성 파급효과 여부를 검증한 결과 화학제품산업을 제외하고 4개 부문에서는 해당 추정계수의 통계적 유의성이 기각되었다. 화학제품산업의 경우 부(負)의 '실질효과'가 정(正)의 '실질효과'를 압도하며 에너지절약시설 투자비용 대비 에너지비용 절감효과는 상대적으로 미미한 것으로 나타났다.

The construction industry is an integral part of any nation's economy, whether measured by dollar volume or workforce size. In spite of its strong influence, there has been very little specifically aimed at evaluating the current industry performance. This research investigates the macroeconomic performance of the construction industry by accounting for crucial performance affecting factors such as labor productivity and gross margin. A clustering analysis, followed by a series of statistical analyses, yielded a notable finding that labor productivity is the most important factor that affects industry's profitability. The results of the analysis also revealed that the states with the strongest labor productivity show the highest level of profitability in terms of gross margin. This study should be of value to decision-makers when plotting a roadmap for future growth and rendering a strategic business decision.

PURPOSES : This study is to suggest the Influence of road capital to industry and productivity growth in South Korea. METHODS : Based on the literature review, The relevant policy questions addressed in this report are : cost reduction and Scale elasticities of road, effect of road capital stock on demand for labor, capital and materials, marginal effect of road, industry TFP growth decomposition. RESULTS : The marginal benefits of the road capital at the industry level were calculated using the estimated cost elasticities. Demand for the road capital services varies across industries as do the marginal effects. The marginal benefits are positive for the principal industries. This suggests that for these industries the existing stock of road capital may be under supplied. The contribution of road capital to TFP growth is positive in principal industries. The main contribution of road capital is in the manufacturing industries ; the magnitudes of contribution varies among industries. These results indicate that growth in exogenous demand is most important contributor to TFP growth. CONCLUSIONS : The road capital have a significant effect on employment, private capital and demand for materials inputs in all industries. At a given level of output, an increase in road capital lead to variety to demand for all inputs in all industries.

The main objective of this study is to determine whether there have been TFP increases in the Korean manufacturing sector due to trade liberalization since the 1990s. Based on the methodology proposed by Pavcnik (2002), which focuses on the channel through which trade liberalization measures enhance overall industrial productivity by triggering the exit of low-productivity firms, this study tests the following two hypotheses: first, the TFP increase in the Korean tradable industry is not higher than that in the non-tradable industry, and second, plants with lower TFP levels did not exit from the tradable industry. Through the rejection of these two hypotheses, it is possible to infer indirectly the effect of trade liberalization on firm productivity rates in Korea since the 1990s. First, this analysis reveals that since the 1990s, the TFP of the tradable sector compared to the non-tradable sector presented a statistically meaningful increase only in the 2000s, when China joined the WTO and trade increased sharply between Korea and China. Secondly, TFP growth in the tradable sector was positively affected by exits, as it was plants with lower TFP levels that ceased to exist.

This study has analyzed the efficiency of 10 leading global shipping companies listed in the New York Stock Exchange from2010 to 2014 in order to find the changes of the productivity of shipping industry. The paper observed the Malmquist Productivity Index by using Efficiency and Productivity Analysis System Version 1.0. The data used in this study is the Guggenheim Shipping ETF mainly including the companies of shipping, management, and shipbuilding areas. The results from this statistical analysis indicate that the 10 selected companies have experienced a severely negative growth in 2010. Nevertheless, these companies have accomplished a significant growth of productivity. In particular, the energy transport companies operating Tanker and LNG ships carried out remarkable growth. The reason why the productivity of liner shipping companies did not show the improvement of productivity for five years was attributed to the fact that the P3(Project 3) or M2(Maersk-MSC) including Maersk, MSC, and CMA-CGM were excluded in this research because of the difficulty of attaining reliable source data. The method of this study could be extended to Korean shipping corporations and other global airlines to investigate a changes of certain industries.
