Manufacturing FDI is mainly conducted by establishing production firms in the host country. The foreign branch facilities which are closely connected to headquarters in the home countries through the global supply chain have decisive effects on the integration of global production system and on the pattern changes in international logistics. Therefore, the study on the development process of manufacturing supply chain through FDI can be the key factor to understand the global production and international logistics system. This study analyzes the spatial and temporal patterns of direct investments in China by Korean companies in the manufacturing sectors. The results show a great deal of differential in periods and regions in investment. At the early period of Korean manufacturing FDI, the coast provinces in China which are adjacent to Korean peninsula were main investment target regions. However recently, coastal and inland provinces far away from Korea have been important for attracting Korean manufacturing capital. If further affiliated studies are done, the results of this study would be more beneficial to understand the logistics flows of regional supply chain based on the manufacturing FDI.

이 글은 한국의 대표적인 기계산업 집적지인 창원 지역에서 최근 급증하고 있는 제조업 해외직접투자의 유형과 그것이 지역 산업에 미치는 영향을 탐구하고 있다. 분석은 생산의 해외전개가 지역 고용에 '어떠한' 영향을 '어떻게' 미치는지 그 기제와 문제점을 조명하는 데 주안점을 두고 있다. 창원의 해외직접투자는 대기업뿐만 아니라 중소기업이 투자 주체가 되어 중국을 중심으로 한 아시아지역을 대상으로 급속도로 늘어나고 있다. 해외직접투자는 지역제조업체들을 글로벌 생산네트워크로 편입하고 사회적 분업체제를 개편하고 있다. 해외투자의 급증으로 지역내 투자는 부진하나 그럼에도 불구하고 산출과 고용이 성장세를 유지하고 있고, 지역수준에서 제조업 공동화가 발생했다고 할 수는 없다. 그러나 저임활용을 겨냥한 생산의 해외전개 추세가 지속된다면 업종별 공동화의 우려가 현실화될 가능성이 있다. 생산의 해외전개는 원하청기업간 관계에서 기술력이 부족한 중소하청업체들에 대하여 단가 인하의 압력을 가중시키고, 노동자들에게는 고용불안, 임금 등 근로조건을 저하시키는 방향으로 사회적 분업의 개편을 가져온다.

The main purpose of this study is to examine spatial labor productivity differences in manufacturing industries located in the National Industrial Parks. To examine the spatial productivity differences, related parameters were estimated using the data of 2003 Industrial Complex Survey Report prepared by KICC. The results of estimation showed that labor productivity is positively related with plan and equipment investment, living-in period of industry, and negatively related with the number of employee. In a spatial labor productivity, the Chulla-do, Chugchung-do, and Gyeongsang-do provinces were higher than the National Capital area

This study estimates the regional input-output table and GHG emissions in 2019 and then analyzes the economic effects of carbon taxes by region and industry in Korea. The GHG emission, emission coefficient, and emission induction coefficient are estimated to be higher in manufacturing-oriented metropolitan provinces. The GHG emission coefficient in the same industry varies from region to region, which might reflect the standard of product classification, characteristics of production technology, and the regional differences in input structure. If a carbon tax is imposed, production costs are expected to increase and demand and production will decrease, especially in the manufacturing industry, which emits more GFG. On the other hand, the impact of carbon taxes on each region is not expected to vary significantly from region to region, which might be due to the fact that those differences are mitigated by industry-related effects. Since the impact of carbon taxes is expected to spread to the entire region, close cooperation between local governments is necessary in the process of implementing carbon neutrality in the future.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the industrial linkage between manufacturing and service industries in Seoul and Busan. In this paper, the industrial linkage between the manufacturing and the service industry is analyzed through input-output coefficient and production inducement coefficient. The results are as follows. First, the linkage of the service industry to the manufacturing in Seoul was higher than that of Busan. Second, Busan had a low input proportion of the service industry supplied by its own area to the manufacturing, so that the effect of the growth of Busan manufacturing on the regional economy is limited. Third, the linkage of manufacturing to service industry in Busan was found to be higher than that of Seoul. Finally, policy directions for improving the industrial linkage between manufacturing and service industries were suggested based on the results.

In this paper, we analysed the absolute and conditional convergency hypothesis and the determinants of productivity in manufacturing industries from 2000 to 2009 with 16 provinces and metro-cities by using panel analysis. In terms of convergency hypothesis test, the results show that both of the convergency hypothesis, the absolute vs. conditional hypothesis, reject the null hypothesis(H0) implying the labor productivity of the 16 province and metro-cities converged to the steady state equilibrium. Also, the speed of the absolute and conditional convergency for the 16 province and metro-cities are average 4.4% and 0.73% respectively. In addition, the results of the determinants of the labor productivity in manufacturing industry show that human capital and manufacturing location coefficient affect to the value- added per capita significantly, but government expenditure per capita doesn't affect to the value- added per capita. As for the total factor productivity, government expenditure per capita and fixed capital per capita are important factors, but research and development doesn't. Hence the government has to revise the balanced regional development policy to develop regional manufacturing industries for the vulnerable regions. Also, it requires more study regarding income disparities and productivity.

급변하는 사회의 변화에 따라 제조업 중심의 대량생산 전략으로 이윤을 창출하는 수익구조의 시대는 지나고 새로운 산업 형태의 비즈니스 모델 발굴을 통한 사회적 문제들의 해결안을 모색하려는 의도가 요구된다. 이에 미래의 대체 핵심 산업으로서 서비스산업을 국가적 차원에서 발전시키려는 시도를 하고 있으나 서비스의 정의 및 방향성에 대한 개념의 정립에 있어 여러 가지 한계에 부딪히고 있는 실정이다. 또한 국가별 서비스의 이해와 연구 방향에 있어 다소 차이가 있으나 국가별 환경과 인프라를 최대한으로 활용하여 국가 산업의 경쟁력을 강화함에 있어 서비스혁신디자인 학문분야를 다양하게 적용할 수 있다. 가령 한국을 비롯한 미국, 일본, 중국 등의 나라는 제조 산업 기반의 생산성 지향적 서비스(Productivity in Service)를 서비스 산업에 적용하고, 유럽의 대부분의 나라는 생태보존의 방법에 있어 서비스분야를 접목하는데 있는데 Product Service System의 관점에서 접근한다. 마지막으로 지역의 경쟁력 강화를 위하여 서비스 개념의 접근 방법을 지역혁신서비스 (Regional Revitalization)라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 서비스의 개념을 정립하고 서비스의 의미와 연구 분야 별 접근방법 등을 여러 가지 사례로 설명하려 한다. 나아가 본 연구를 통하여 서비스디자인 관련분야의 학문적 기초를 다지는데 기여를 할 것 있을 것이라 생각한다.

This paper examines the shift to service economy in the developed countries including Korea and analyzes whether Baumol's cost disease hypothesis could explain the labor productivity growth in the developed countries even though the share of service industry is rising rapidly. We have found the following results: First, the shift to service economy is widely observed in the developed countries. Second, the productivity gap between manufacturing and service industry is widening as a result of stagnant productivity growth in service industry. Third, however, the productivity in the whole economy is still growing because of the large productivity differences among the sub-industries in service industry. Fourth, we have found that the productivities of some service industries, such as finance, communication, business service, etc., are almost same or larger than the productivity of manufacturing industry. From this fact it is likely that the productivity of the whole economy could grow in spite of the stagnant productivity growth in service industry.

This paper is a case study on regional linkages of producer services in Chinju region. Producer service appeared as the most rapid growth sector in service industry. In Chinju region. manufacturing firms purchase generalized producer service within the region. However the higher-order service, they demand; the remoter metropolis especially Seoul, they depend on. Linkage patterns among manufacturing sectors are similar; but then the firms whose managers are from Chinju or Gyeong-nam region had stronger regional linkages than others. Public institute such as Chamber of Commerce & Industry, University Research Institute of Industrial Technology. Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund, Korea Silk Research Institute have made important role as suppliers of public producer services in Chinju Region. As present stage, their services of industrial technology, fiancing, and information are not only fit regional demand but also spatially limited within region. The facts that large firms purchase high-order services from other region and small firms have not good demand of producer service suggest regional policy implication about supplying relevant producer service in the region.

In this paper, the effects of large national industrial complexes on the generation of local hazardous substances were analyzed based on their size, industrial characteristics. In Seoul, the proportion of hazardous substances, which adversely affect the atmosphere of the entire city, was much less than that of other regional industrial complexes, centered on knowledge-based industries. On the other hand, other national industrial complexes based on manufacturing industries, such as machinery, metal, electricity, and electronics, were found to have a combination of industry characteristics and logistics and regional characteristics. Overall, it was found that the increase in productivity in large national industrial complexes was not proportional to the increase in hazardous substances throughout the region. In addition, it was also found that in North Gyeongsang Province, which is based on the heavy chemical industry, the percentage of hazardous substances is different from other regions due to the characteristics of the industry.
