본고(本稿)는 Sims가 개발한 방법을 이용하여 우리나라와 같이 경제구조(經濟構造)가 급히 변하는 상황에서의 경제예측(經濟豫測)의 정확도(正確度)를 제고하고자 하는 시도의 일환이다. 본고(本稿)는 예측자의 사전신뢰(事前信賴)를 이용하여 계수의 값에 대하여 사전제약(事前制約)을 부과(賦課)하고 시간변동(時間變動)을 허용하는 변동계수(變動係數)벡타자귀(自歸)(TBVAR)모형(模型)의 추정방법뿐만 아니라 사전제약(事前制約)의 모수(母數)를 선택하는 방법과 오차(誤差)의 분산(分散)이 자기회귀(自己回歸)할 경우의 대처방법 등 예측(豫測)의 정확도(正確度)를 제고시키는 데 실제 사용되는 방법을 설명하고, 6변수모형(變數模型)을 이용하여 TBVAR 모델의 정확도(正確度)를 타(他) 모델과 비교한다. 정부건설(政府建設), 총통화(總通貨), 사채시장이자율(社債市場利子率), 민간건설(民間建設), 실질(實質)GNP 및 소비자(消費者) 물가지수(物價指數) 등 6변수(變數)에 대한 예측의 정확도를 "타일 U"값을 기준으로 비교할 때 TBVAR은 시간변동(時間變動)을 고려하지 않고 사전제약(事前制約)만 적용한 BVAR이나 사전제약(事前制約)도 적용하지 않은 VAR보다 대부분의 변수의 예측에 있어 더 정확하며 민간건설(民間建設)을 제외하고는 OLS보다 예측오차(豫測誤差)가 작게 나타난다.

A long-run relationship of stock, monetary, realty markets, and business conditions has been suggested to exist due to internal and external shocks. This study investigates whether such a relationship really exists and then performs statistical tests to discern features of the long-run adjustment processes from short-run discrepancies because it is difficult to find studies that examine the market relationship. The comovement relationship of the whole market does not appear to hold for the entire study period; however, it is found to exist for the period before the financial crisis. Estimated error correction models show consistently declining equilibrium errors each period that suggests a recovering process of the long-run equilibrium from short-run secessions.

This study investigates long and short run responses of variables to exogenous shocks by imposing prior restrictions on a contemporaneous structural shock coefficient matrix of the model to identify shocks by endogenous variables in the vector autoregression. The relative importance of each structural shock in variation of each variable is calculated through the identification of proper restrictions (not based on any specific theory but on researcher judgment corresponding to actual situations) and an estimation of the structural vector autoregression. The results of the analyses are found to maintain consistency.

This paper mainly estimates a trajectory of GDP induced by variations in fiscal expenditure and taxation policy using three variable structural VAR models. By assigning different combinations of identifying restrictions on the disturbances and measuring the corresponding fiscal multipliers, we compare how robust the estimated values of fiscal multipliers are with respect to the restrictions. Then, considering the dependency of Korean economy on the foreign sector, we extend the three variable SVARs to four variable ones by adding a variable reflecting external shocks. Empirical analyses into the Korean quarterly data (from 1979 to 2000) with the three variable SVARs reveal that the size and the significance of the estimated fiscal multipliers in Korea are very small and low or they decay very fast. Results from the four variable SVARs confirm these results while the significance of the effectiveness of fiscal policy is enhanced in some cases.

본고(本稿)는 세수증대(稅收增大)가 충분치 않은 경우 재정적자(財政赤字)를 충당하기 위한 국채발행(國債發行)은 본원통화(本源通貨)의 증대가 뒤따르지 않을 경우에도 물가를 즉시 상승시킬 수 있음을 정부(政府)의 동태적(動態的) 예산제약(豫算制約)이 나타내는 단순한 산수(算數)를 이용해서 보여주고 있다. 본고(本稿)가 가정하는 상황(합리적(合理的) 기대(期待), 정확(正確)한 정보(情報) 등)에서는 정부의 예산제약(豫算制約)을 동태적(動態的)으로 계속 연결해서 얻을 수 있는 실제의 동태적(動態的) 예산제약식(豫算制約式)을 검증할 수 있는 형태의 식으로 대체할 수 있다. 이 새로운 예산제약식(豫算制約式)에 의하면 미래잉여금(未來剩餘金)의 기대액(期待額)이 변하지 않는 상태에서의 국채발행(國債發行)은 즉각적으로 현재의 물가상승(物價上昇)을 유발(誘發)하고, 미래잉여금(未來剩餘金)의 기대액(期待額)의 감소(減少)(미래재정적자를 포함) 또한 같은 결과를 초래한다. 전후(戰後) 미국(美國)과 주요공업국가(主要工業國家)의 시계열자료(時系列資料)를 벡터자기회귀분석방법(自己回歸分析方法)에 의해서 분석한 결과 이들 잘 발달된 자본시장(資本市場)을 가진 나라에서는 본고(本稿)의 이론(理論)과 부합(符合)되게 물가(物價)와 국채(國債) 그리고 잉여금(剩餘金)이 변동해 왔음을 알 수 있다. 한국(韓國)의 자본시장여건(資本市場興件)이 현재는 이들 국가와 다르지만 곧 근접해 갈 것이 기대되므로, 앞으로 재정적자(財政赤字)를 국채발행(國債發行)에 의해서 조달해야 할 경우 물가(物價)에 대한 파급효과(波及效果)를 감안해서 세수(稅收)의 확대(擴大)가 뒤따르는 경우에 한하도록 하여야 할 것이다.

This study stems from a question, "How should we understand the pattern of the Korean economy after the 1990s?" Among various analytic methods applicable, this study chooses a Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) with long-run restrictions, identifies diverse impacts that gave rise to the current status of the Korean economy, and differentiates relative contributions of those impacts. To that end, SVAR is applied to four economic models; Blanchard and Quah (1989)'s 2-variable model, its 3-variable extensions, and the two other New Keynesian type linear models modified from Stock and Watson (2002). Especially, the latter two models are devised to reflect the recent transitions in the determination of foreign exchange rate (from a fixed rate regime to a flexible rate one) as well as the monetary policy rule (from aggregate targeting to inflation targeting). When organizing the assumed results in the form of impulse response and forecasting error variance decomposition, two common denominators are found as follows. First, changes in the rate of economic growth are mainly attributable to the impact on productivity, and such trend has grown strong since the 2000s, which indicates that Korea's economic growth since the 2000s has been closely associated with its potential growth rate. Second, the magnitude or consistency of impact responses tends to have subsided since the 2000s. Given Korea's high dependence on trade, it is possible that low interest rates, low inflation, steady growth, and the economic emergence of China as a world player have helped secure capital and demand for export and import, which therefore might reduced the impact of each sector on overall economic status. Despite the fact that a diverse mixture of models and impacts has been used for analysis, always two common findings are observed in the result. Therefore, it can be concluded that the decreased rate of economic growth of Korea since 2000 appears to be on the same track as the decrease in Korea's potential growth rate. The contents of this paper are constructed as follows: The second section observes the recent trend of the economic development of Korea and related Korean articles, which might help in clearly defining the scope and analytic methodology of this study. The third section provides an analysis model to be used in this study, which is Structural VAR as mentioned above. Variables used, estimation equations, and identification conditions of impacts are explained. The fourth section reports estimation results derived by the previously introduced model, and the fifth section concludes.
