Research about U.S. and European countries demonstrated that startups and young firms account for nearly all net job creation. If we want to bring down unemployment and to increase economic growth rate, we need to create new companies and to make them to grow. Credit availability is one of the most important factors for entrepreneurs as they attempt to start or expand a business. For young firms, access to credit for business growth can mean the difference between survival and failure. Equity crowdfunding is an innovative means of raising capital for businesses. Crowdfunding campaigns can give new business access to a large pool of investors. This brings huge benefits for marketing and increase provability of success of business and ROI, so it leads follow-on investment from Venture Capital and Angel investors. In Korea, the survival rate of startups and average growth rate of survivors is far lower than those of the U.S or other countries due to lack of funds for startup or early business growth. Equity crowdfunding can be a new funding source for venture or startups. It can increase startup and survival rate, in addition to the growth rate of survivors, resulting in decreased unemployment rate. In Korea, Equity crowdfunding will be available from 2016. Further study is needed to determine whether the impact of crowdfunding in Korea on job creation will be similar to its impact in the U.S.

This study analyzed the determinants of high-growth firms using the technology appraisal data of the Korea Technology Finance Corporation. This study is differentiated from previous studies for three reasons. First, it analyzed the determinants of firms that will grow into high-growth firms in the future, not the characteristics of current high-growth firms. Second, it analyzed high-growth firms by dividing them in two aspects: sales and employment. In other words, they were divided into three types: the case in which a firm achieves high growth in both sales increase and creation of jobs, the case in which a firm achieves high growth in creation of jobs but low growth in sales increase, and the case in which a firm achieves high growth in only sales increase but low growth in creation of jobs. Third, this study applied the technology appraisal indicators of Kibo Technology Rating System(KTRS) by the Korea Technology Finance Corporation as the explanatory variable. As a result of analysis, it was found that a firm achieved high growth in both sales and employment if the position in the technology life cycle was appropriate and the technology readiness level was high. However, it turned out that the management system of technical manpower had conflicting effects on high growth of employment and sales. In other words, a firm that had well managed its technical manpower achieved high growth in terms of employment, but rather showed low growth in terms of sales. This result suggests the inference that firms showing high growth in employment may appear mainly in the high-tech industry where management of technical manpower is important. Accordingly, as a result of adding dummy variables that represent whether or not firms are in the high-tech industry, it was found that the result supported the inference, as firms in the high-tech industry were highly likely to achieve high growth in employment.

This paper attempts to select the attributes of job creation and to rank them for evaluation of companies' job creation. And the results of this paper are expected to provide the information for the polices of job creation. In doing so, this paper applies fuzzy decision making analysis that reflects ambiguity and uncertainty in decision-making process. According to the results, the weight of quality of employment is similar with that of quantity of employment. In addition, annual employment growth rate, annual net employment are ranked as first and the percentage of irregular employment, the average length of employment of all workers, average monthly wages of all workers, and employment growth over sales growth rate are next ranked.

본 연구의 목적은 자연재해나 인위재해로 인한 시설물 피해가 초래하는 경제적 영향을 분석할 수 있는 재해영향평가모형을 개발하고, 2002년도에 발생한 태풍 루사를 연구사례로 하여 본 연구에서 개발한 평가모형의 적용가능성을 살펴보는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 태풍 루사로 인한 시설물 피해가 초래하는 경제적 영향을 평가하기 위해서 경제분석모형인 다지역 투입산출모형(MRIO model)을 적용하여 서울시, 인천시, 경기도와 수도원외지역의 수해피해 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구방법을 적용하여 지역별 산업별 경제피해영향을 분석한 결과 직간접 수해피해는 총 15조 4천 5백 2십 4억원이고, 고용손실영향은 총 265,476인으로 나타났으며 수도권외지역의 비중이 각각 88,8%와 88.1%를 차지하여 지방경제의 피해가 상당한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 복구비를 투자하였을 경우 총 21조 5천 9백 5십 7억원의 경제파급효과와 412,110인의 고용창출효과가 발생하고, 특히 수도권외지역에서 투자파급효과의 89.3%와 고용창출효과의 89.5%를 차지하여 지방경제 활성화에 크게 기여하는 것으로 분석되었다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between local economy and local universities focusing on the job creation. The study estimates the impacts of industry-university cooperation expenditure in 2018 on the Korean industry using the 2014 input-output table released by the Bank of Korea in 2016. The results show that the effect of production inducement was 30.2 trillion Won which reached 1.5 times of the total industry-university cooperation expenditure 19.6 trillion Won. The effect of labor inducement was estimated to employ 35 thousand people. With respect to the effects of inter-industries, the professional, scientific and technical activities, information and communication, and education sectors showed much higher effect of both production and labor inducement in the Korean industry. Therefore, the industry-university cooperation expenditure in Korea has to be focused on those industries in order to increase job creation effects from industry-university cooperation.
