Abstract
This paper is concerned with a comparative study on the economic effects upon the Korean economy by transport mode, ie road, rail, air, and coastal and inland water transportation between 1990 and 2000, using input-output analysis. The economic effects consist of backward and forward linkage effects, production inducing and import-inducing effects. The data employed for this study come from the Bank of Korea database for Input-Output structure of the Korean economy. The major findings in this study are, among others:(1) the power of dispersion(=backward linkage effect) of coastal and inland water transportation sector is the highest among the four transport sectors, while road cargo transport mode showed the highest the degree of sensitivity (=forward linkage effect); (2) rail cargo transport recorded the highest production inducing effects; and (3) air transport mode achieved the highest ranking in the import-inducing effects.
