Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the spatial distribution of highly educated human capital and to identify key factors affecting their spatial distribution. We analyzed the spatial concentration and inequality using Gini's coefficient and exploratory spatial data analysis and identified the economic and amenity factors to affect the spatial concentration of highly educated human capital using spatial regression model. The findings show that the spatial pattern of highly educated human capital is concentrated, imbalanced, and clustered in Capital region and part of Chungcheong and Gangwon region. The spatial concentration were more affected by economic factor than by amenity factors. This study provides some implication on the regional economic strategies to attract the human capital.

본 연구의 목적은 고학력 인적 자본 집단의 공간적 분포를 살펴보고 공간적 분포에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하는 것이다. 본 연구는 지니계수와 탐색적 공간자료분석을 통해 불균형과 공간적 집중정도를 살펴보았으며 공간회귀모형을 통해 고학력 인적 자본 집단의 분포에 미치는 경제적 요인과 어메너티 요인의 영향 정도를 확인하였다. 분석결과, 석·박사 집단 고학력 인적 자본은 불균등하게 분포하고 있으며 수도권을 중심으로 충남 및 강원 일부지역에서 군집을 형성하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 석·박사 집단 고학력 인적 자본의 분포에 영향을 미치는 영향요인은 경제적 요인이 강하게 작용하고 있었다. 어메너티 요인은 석·박사 집단 고학력 인적 자본의 분포의 영향요인으로서 큰 역할을 하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 인적 자본을 유입하고자 하는 지역경제개발 정책에 있어 시사점이 있다.
