Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the productivity changes in government-funded research institutes for Economics & Humanities and Social Sciences. From Malmquist total factor productivity index analysis, the average productivity decreased 6.5% between 2006 and 2010. Further analysis showed that technical efficiency increased 4.7% annually while the technology change rate decreased 10.8% on average. Under pressure for innovation from the outside, research institutes responded to managerial efficiency improvement, which lead to increases in technical efficiency. On the other hand, for productivity improvement of government funded research institutes, they must pursue technological advances by securing an outstanding research workforce, expanding the R&D budget, and changing the R&D method. Each institute must perceive the cause of an individual institute's productivity change, and establish strategies for increasing productivity.

본 논문은 경제 인문사회연구회 소관 23개 정부출연연구기관의 2006년도부터 2010년도까지 생산성 변화를 분석하고 생산성 변화 관련 요인을 파악하여 정책적 시사점을 도출하기 위해 수행되었다. DEA Malmquist 생산성 지수를 통해 분석한 결과, 이 기간 중 연구기관의 평균 생산성은 6.5% 하락한 것으로 나타났다. 이를 효율성 변화와 기술변화로 나누어 본 결과, 효율성은 평균 4.7% 향상되었지만 기술변화율이 평균 10.8% 하락한 것으로 드러났다. 이 기간 중 정부출연연구기관의 구조조정과 경영합리화에 대한 외부 압력이 높았다는 점을 고려해 볼 때 추격효과로 해석되는 효율성 향상은 내부적 경영합리화의 긍정적 결과로 볼 수 있다. 그러나 기술변화율의 하락은 전체적인 생산성 저하에 영향을 주고 있어, 향후 급변하는 외부환경변화에 대응하여 핵심 연구인력 확충, 연구개발비 확대, 연구개발방식 변화 등 연구개발 기능 강화를 통한 기술진보를 도모해야 하는 정책적 시사점을 제공한다. 또한 개별 연구기관들도 생산성변화의 원인이 효율성변화인지 기술변화인지를 파악하여 내부 경영합리화 또는 연구개발 강화 등의 발전전략을 수립하여 생산성 제고를 위한 노력을 해야 한다.
