Abstract
In order to estimate sawmill productivities, rates of technical change and optimum combination of production factors, Cobb-Douglas production functions have been derived using data obtained from 96 sample mills in Busan-Incheon, southwestern and northeastern areas. The results may be summarized as follows: 1. There is a tendency of expanding average sawmill size in the areas. The horse-power holdings per mill have been increased at the rates of 91 percent in Busan-Incheon, 7.7 percent in southwestern and 16.9 percent in northeastern areas. This implies that the mills around log-importing ports have made rapid development, compared with those in forest regions. 2. The regression coefficients (production elasticities) of the functions for the year of 1967 in the above three areas are much similar each other, but significant differencies are found in the production functions of 1975. In other words, sawmill productivity was mainly restricted by capital deficiencies in all areas in 1967, but this situation was succeeded only by N-E area in 1975. The range of sum of regression coefficients is 1.0437-1.4214, this indicates increasing rates of return to scale. 3. The annual rates of technical changes in B-I, S-W and N-E areas for the observed period are 17.6, 7.6 and 2.2 percents respectively. Busan-Incheon is the only area where labor productivity is higher than that of capital. 4. The best combination of production factors for maximizing firm's profit is subject to the changes of input and output prices. With some assumptions of prices and costs, the optimum levels of power and labor input in B-I, S-W and N-E areas are 57:17, 427:94 and 192:27.
항도지역(港都地域)(부산(釜山), 인천(仁川)), 호남지역(湖南地域)(전남북(全南北)), 관동지역(關東地域)(강원(江原), 경북(慶北))에서 총(總) 96개소(個所)의 표목제재소(標木製材所)를 선정(選定)하여 Cobb-Douglas 생산함수(生産函數)를 유도(誘導)한 다음 1967-1975년(年) 사이의 기술진보율(技術進步率)과 제재생산인자(製材生産因子)의 생산성(生産性) 및 적정요소투입량(適正要素投入量)을 계측(計測)하였으며, 그 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. 3지역(地域)에서 모두 제재소(製材所)의 평균규모(平均規模)는 증대(增大)하는 경향(傾向)이 있다. 즉 제재소당(製材所當) 보유마력수(保有馬力數)의 증가율(增加率)은 항도지역(港都地域)이 91.0%, 호남지역(湖南地域)이 7.7%, 관동지역(關東地域)이 16.9%로 나타났다. 이는 외재수입항(外材輸入港)을 중심(中心)으로한 도불형(都巿型) 제재소(製材所)가 크게 발전(發展)하고 있음을 뜻한다. 2. 1967년(年)에는 3지역(地域) 제재생산함수(製材生産函數)의 회귀계수(回歸係數)(생산탄성치(生産彈性値))가 거의 비슷하였으나 1975년(年)에는 지역간(地域間)의 차이(差異)가 현저(顯著)하게 나타났다. 즉 1967년(年)의 생산제약요인(生産制約要因)은 3지역(地域)에서 모두 자본(資本)이었으나 1975년(年)에는 관동지역(關東地域)만이 자본(資本)의 제약(制約)을 받고 있다. 탄성치(彈性値)의 합계(合計)는
