Abstract

Since China's economic reform in 1978, international trade has enormously flourished and the port industry is reckoned as a key factor contributing to this growth. This study examines the Bohai Rim port group in the scope of top three largest ports Qingdao, Dalian and Tianjin. By utilizing indicators including concentration ratio (CR), Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI), the Gini coefficient and the Lorenz curve as well as shift-share analysis (SSA), the concentration level of this port group in the period 2004-2016 is discussed. As a results, CR demonstrates a decrease during the studied period with a minor fluctuation, and HHI index shows a trend of deconcentration with Bohai Rim port group. In addition, SSA indicates that during the period 2004-2016, the overall shift index of Qingdao port was -1.371 meanwhile with Tianjin and Dalian port were 0.118 and 1.252 in turn. These results suggest that the growth in regional influence of Tianjin and Dalian ports would motivate to the deconcentration pattern in Bohai Rim region. The findings assist decision makers and scholars to obtain knowledge about the port development this region. Considering the geographic position of these three ports as the gate of northeast China, it is suggested that these three ports could explore their advantages and cooperate with the small ports in the surrounding area to enhance their influences in the future study.

1978년 중국의 경제개혁 이후, 국제무역은 빠른 속도로 증가되었고, 항만산업은 성장을 가능하게 하는 중요한 요소로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구는 보하이만의 최대 항만인 청도, 대련, 천진항 대상으로 분석을 시행한다. CR 분석, 허핀달-허쉬만 분석, 지니계수, 로렌츠 커브 및 전이분석을 이용하여, 2004-2016년도 항만의 집중도를 분석한다. 연구결과, CR 지수는 작은 변동을 보이면서 감소하며, 허핀달-허쉬만 지수는 분산화 경향을 나타냈다. 2004-2016 기간 동안 전이분석 결과, 청도항은 -1.371인 반면, 천진과 대련항은 각각 0.118, 1.252을 나타냈다. 또한 천진항 및 대련항의 성장이 보하이만 분산화 경향을 주도하였다. 연구결과는 해당지역의 항만개발에 관여하는 의사결정자 및 학계에 필요한 시사점을 제공한다. 향후연구에서는 중국 동북지역 관문에 위치한 최대항만이라는 지리적 이점을 고려하여 근처 중소형 항만과의 협력방안을 탐색할 필요가 있다.
