Abstract

Support and efforts are being strengthened at the national level for entrepreneurial activities that are expected to revitalize our economy. Generally, according to the previous studies, it is known that entrepreneurship positively affects economic growth and the reduction of unemployment rate through employment creation. The analysis of the impact of entrepreneurial activities on economic growth and job creation is mainly based on national comparative analysis. In this paper, however, the impact of start-up activities in the Busan metropolitan city on regional economic growth and employment improvement. In this study, the dummy variables were assigned to firms within three years, five years, and ten years after start-up according to the period since the start-up of the firm. As a result of the empirical analysis, the value of dummy variable of the start - up firms was found to be significant in the analysis of the sales growth rate as the dependent variable according to the preceding study by Evans(1987). Therefore, it can be seen that the growth rate of the start - up company is higher than that of the other companies and it is positive for the regional economic growth. In addition, the coefficient of the dummy variable decreases from the enterprise analysis to the latter within three years, five years, and ten years after the start-up, and confirms that the coefficient of the firm's start-up years has a negative value. I could see more clearly. On the other hand, in the analysis of the effect of start-up firms on unemployment rate reduction, the growth rate of regular workers was higher than that of other firms. This suggests that it positively affects the reduction of the unemployment rate in the region. In addition, in the dynamic analysis using the Almon estimation formula and the Koyck model, the effect of log-transformed net start-up firms on the growth rate of new workers is very significant. As a result of the above model, It is reaffirmed that start-up activity has a positive effect on employment growth.

일반적으로 선행연구에 따르면 대부분 창업이 경제성장에 긍정적인 영향을 미치며 고용창출을 통한 실업률 저감에도 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 창업활동이 경제성장과 고용창출에 미치는 영향 분석을 위해 본고에서는 부산광역시 지역의 창업(start-up)활동이 지역경제성장과 고용개선에 미치는 영향을 구체화하여 연구함을 목적으로 하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 기업의 창업 이후 기간에 따라 창업후 3년, 5년, 10년 이내 기업으로 구분하여 더미변수를 부여하였으며 해당 더미변수 계수의 값고 유의성을 통해 창업기업이 지역경제성장 및 실업률 저감에 미치는 영향을 확인해 보았다. 실증분석 결과, 매출액 증가율을 종속변수로 한 분석에서 창업기업 더미값이 유의하게 나타났다. 따라서 창업기업이 기타기업에 비해 성장속도가 빠르며 나아가 이는 지역경제성장에 긍정적으로 작용함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 더미변수의 계수값이 창업 후 3년, 5년, 10년 이내 기업 분석에서 후자로 갈수록 감소하고, 기업의 창업년수의 계수가 음(-)의 값을 가짐을 확인함으로써 창업기업의 영향력을 더욱 분명히 확인할 수 있었다. 한편, 창업기업이 실업률 저감에 미치는 영향분석을 위해 상시근로자수 증가율을 종속변수로 한 분석에서 창업기업 더미값이 유의하여 창업기업이 기타기업에 비해 상시근로자수 증가율이 높게 나타났다. 이에 지역내 실업률 저감에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 점을 제시할 수 있었다. 추가적으로 Almon 추정식과 Koyck 모형을 이용한 동태적 분석에서도 로그변환한 순창업기업 수가 신규취업자 증가율에 미치는 영향이 매우 유의한 것으로 나타나, 앞서 상시근로자수 증가율을 종속변수로 한 모형의 결과와 마찬가지로 부산지역 창업활동이 고용증가에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 점이 재차 확인되었다.
