초록

본 연구는 Oxford Economics에서 제공하는 Global Cities Forecast 자료(2013)를 이용하여 한국의 7대 광역시를 포함한 전 세계 주요도시의 경쟁력지수 및 분배지수를 산출하고 그 종합순위를 정리하였다. 도시경쟁력지수는 규모지표, 비율지표, 성장률지표 등 총 18개 경제관련 지표를 선택하였고, 분배지수로서 지니계수를 이용하였다. 경쟁력지수와 지니계수 간의 관계를 분석하기 위하여 LOGIT 회귀모형을 이용하여 분석하였으며 추정결과 소득불평등(지니계수) 증가는 5년 시차로 볼 때 도시경쟁력지수 또한 경제성장률 변화에 음(-)의 영향을 미치고 있으며 통계적으로 유의하였다. 지니계수가 높을수록 도시경쟁력에 부정적으로 영향을 미친다는 추정결과에 따라 도시경쟁력지수에 분배지수를 포함시켜 총 19개 지표로 세계주요 도시 및 국내 7대 광역시의 글로벌 도시경쟁력 위상을 정리하였다. 2012년 실질가치 기준으로 계산된 서울의 도시 종합경쟁력 순위는 2010년 세계 59위, 2015년 세계 74위, 2030년에는 세계 185위로 급격히 하락하는 것으로 나타나고 있으며 나머지 6대 광역시의 종합경쟁력지수도 모두 하락하는 것으로 나타났다. 도시경쟁력 하락은 장기적으로 국가경쟁력 하락을 의미하므로 도시경쟁력 확보를 위한 문제점 진단과 전략적 방안의 강구가 절실히 요구된다.

This study ranks by developing an urban competitiveness index of major global cities, including seven cities in Korea using data from the Global Cities Forecast (2013) provided by Oxford Economics. The City competitiveness index is selected from 18 indicators including scale index, ratio index, growth rate index while Gini coefficient is used for distribution index. In order to analyze the relationship between the competitiveness index and the distribution index, we use the LOGIT panel regression model. As a result, the increase in income inequality (Gini coefficient) has a negative effect on the economic growth rate in 5-year time lag shown statistically significant. We have compiled global rankings of 770 city competitiveness based upon 19 indicators by combining the global competitiveness index and the distribution index. The trend of rank shows that 7 Metropolitan Korean Cities are expected to decline substantially over the period. In particular, Seoul ranked $59^{th}$ in 2010 and $74^{th}$ in 2015. Its ranking is expected to be decline to $185^{th}$ in 2030. The declining competitiveness of Korean cities is expected to lead to a weakening of Korea's national competitiveness in the long run. Accordingly, it is imperative to identify problems and seek strategic plans to secure global urban competitiveness.
