Korean domestic electricity market is saturated through trying to find ways to overcome the limitations of the domestic electricity industry with overseas electricity markets. Korean electricity industry in the overseas market in order to pursue continuous growth, competitive and aggressive investment in overseas market is promoting. This paper attempts to apply input-output analysis to estimate the role of coal thermal power plant sector exports national economy. More specifically, this study shows what national economy effect of production-inducing effect, value-added inducing effect, and employment-inducing effect are explored with demand-driven model. After define coal thermal power plant sector what small sized of Input-Output table 168 sectors among 17 sectors, this study pays particular and close attention to coal thermal power plant sector by taking the sector as exogenous specification and then investigating economic impacts of it. This study uses coal thermal power plant exportation case of Vietnam project, production-inducing effect, value-added inducing effect, and employment-inducing effect are 2,853 billion won, 973 billion won and 14,761 persons, respectively.
