Abstract

This study empirically tests the presence of rational bubbles in the ship prices using time series data from October 1996 to April 2017. To detect the existence of ship prices' rational bubbles, we use integration and cointegration tests, which were proposed by Campbell and Shiller(1987) and Diba and Grossman(1988), for circumventing misspecification of ship price model and applying the bubble test to nonstationary time series. The result of integration test supports existence of tanker price's rational bubble. The co-integration test also shows that drybulk ship and containership prices have been overvalued relative to the market fundamental, drybulk and container freight rates, due to non-stationary rational bubbles. These results provide Korean shipping industry and authorities implications that anticyclical ship investment and long-term and steady fleet capacity expansion policy are needed.

본 연구는 1996년 10월부터 2017년 4월까지의 건화물선, 컨테이너선, 유조선 가격과 운임 자료를 사용하여 선가의 합리적 거품 유무를 검정하였다. 기존의 연구와 달리, 컨테이너선, 유조선 가격으로 실증분석 범위를 확장하여 모형설정 오류에서 자유로운 안정성에 기초한 안정성 검정과 공적분 검정을 활용하였다. 안정성 검정 결과, 유조선 가격에 거품이 존재하였으며, 공적분 검정은 건화물선과 컨테이너선의 가격에 거품이 포함되었다는 결과를 나타내었다. 이러한 실증분석 결과는 우리나라 해운기업이 저선가 시기에 선박을 확보하는 선박투자 전략을 채택해야하며, 이를 촉진하기 위한 정부의 금융 지원과 안정적인 선복량 확보 정책 수립의 필요성을 시사한다.
