연구개발 및 정부의 연구개발지원의 성과에 대한 실증연구결과의 중요성에도 불구하고 연구개발투자의 생산성에 대한 영향을 분석하는 계량모형에 관한 논의는 상대적으로 활발하지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 연구개발투자의 생산성에 관한 기존 실증분석연구에서 활용한 계량모형들을 비교하여 모형의 장단점을 논하며 최근 발전된 관련 계량모형을 논함으로써 향후 응용연구에서 모형설정에 필요한 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 특히 기존 연구에서 가정하였던 연구개발투자와 생산성의 관계에 단조성을 완화하여 비단조성을 추정할 수 있는 모형을 소개하고 이를 기반으로 단조성 가정에 대한 검정방법을 논한다. 광공업통계DB에 있는 기업자료 및 OECD국가 패널자료에 논의한 계량모형을 적용함으로써 모형특성의 차이에 따른 추정결과의 차이점을 논한다.

This paper considers three different models with two functional forms, Cobb-Douglas and Translog, for the stochastic frontier production function of food manufacturing industry of Bangladesh over the period 1981-1982 to 1999-2000. The models are proposed by Battese and Coelli (1992, 1995) and Huang and Liu (1994). The technical efficiency, total factor productivity, technological change and technical efficiency change have been estimated in the frontier models. The results indicate that 41.47%, 59.30% and 70.98% of the potential output are being realized in this sector. The mean increments in total factor productivity are approximately 2%, 9% and 4% respectively.

The objective of this study is to obtain a better understanding of the current rice production condition in Myanmar through efficiency analysis, especially, to examine the impact of farm mechanization on Myanmar rice production efficiency. For representation of efficiency and the determinants, this paper uses both the data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the stochastic frontier approach (SFA) with variable returns to scale on Myanmar rice production. The efficiency of the rice production was estimated and subsequently the determinants factors were investigated based on the estimated efficiency level of these sample farmers. The empirical evidence finds that farm mechanical tools significantly improve the Myanmar rice production efficiency.

각 의사결정단위(decision making unit: DMU)의 효율성을 추정하는 기법의 하나인 '확률적 프론티어 분석'(Stochastic Frontier Analysis)을 사용하여 국내 공공 연구기관에 소속된 기술이전조직의 기술이전 관련 활동들의 성과에 영향을 미치는 요인들의 효과를 분석하였다. 확률 프론티어 분석에서 독립변수들은 효율적 생산기술('생산 프론티어')에 직접 영향을 미치거나 생산 프론티어와 관측치의 거리로 표현되는 DMU의 효율성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 가정된다. 해외의 선행 연구에서는 인력, 연구개발비 등의 투입변수들은 생산 프론티어에 영향을 미치고, 그 밖의 환경 또는 조직 관련 변수들은 효율성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 가정되었다. 본 연구에서는 환경 및 조직변수들이 선행 연구의 영향 경로와 다른 방식으로 성과에 영향을 미치는지 여부를 밝히기 위해 여러 형태의 모형을 추정하였다. 본 연구에서 도출된 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 투입 요소 가운데 연구개발비가 성과의 증가에 가장 확실한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 기관유형, 기관의 소재 지역 등의 환경변수들이 성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났나. 셋째, 기술이전과 관련된 보상시스템 등의 일부 조직변수들이 성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 환경변수와 조직변수들은 DMU의 효율성에 영향을 주기 보다는 생산 프론티어에 직접 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 일부 모형에서는 거의 모든 DMU의 효율성이 1에 가까운 것으로 나타났는데 이는 효율성을 기준으로 공공 연구기관의 기술이전 활동성과를 평가하는 것은 효과적이지 못하다는 것을 시사한다. 본 연구의 결과는 추가적인 자료를 통해 보완되어야 한다. 또한 더욱 일반적인 생산함수 형태를 고려할 필요가 있으며 산출 거리함수 등의 개념을 이용하여 복수산출물의 경우까지 분석 범위를 확장할 필요가 있다.

Purpose - Recent issues such as vessel enlargement, strengthening of environmental regulations, and port smartization are expected to increase costs and intensify competition in the port industry. In the new normal era, when external growth has reached its limit, the efficient operation of ports is becoming indispensable for achieving sustainable growth. This study aims to identify the determinants of inefficiency by examining the cost structure and efficiency of container terminals in Korea and furthermore propose the political implications to derive the maximization of efficiency. Design/methodology - This study estimates the cost function of container terminal operators and identifies the efficiency of container terminals using stochastic cost frontier (SCF) in the first stage. In the second step, the SCF results are compared with the data envelopment analysis (DEA). Last, this paper proposes efficiency determinants on container terminal operation to establish appropriate strategies. Out of the 29 container terminal operators in South Korea, 13 operators participated in the survey. The translog cost function was estimated utilizing a total of 116 observations collected over the 2007-2017 period. Findings - Empirical analysis shows that economies of scale exist in Korea's container ports, which provides a rationale for the government's policy to establish the global terminal operator by integrating small terminal operators to enhance competitiveness. In addition, as a result of the determinants analysis, container throughput, weight of direct employment costs, and labour cost share have positive effects on improving cost efficiency, while inefficiency increases as the length of quay increases. More specifically, cost efficiency improves as the proportion of direct employment costs to outsourcing service costs increases. Originality/value - This study contributes to analyzing the inefficiency factors of container terminals through efficiency analysis with respect to a cost function. In addition, this study proposes the practical and political implications, such as establishing a long-term manpower pool, the application of the hybrid liner terminal system, and the construction of a statistical data system, to improve the cost inefficiency of terminal operators.

With the huge concerns on the inefficiency of public enterprises, particularly a significant amount of debt, an increasing number of studies have been carried out to analyze the levels of inefficiency and investigate the causes of that inefficiency. However, very limited range of analytical methodologies have been used in the efficiency analysis and moreover, the effects of external factors have been little addressed. This study explores the efficiency of urban railway corporations in Korea by utilizing a method of stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). In particular, the potential effects of external factors including residential and floating populations of a station were statistically analyzed. A total of seven Korean urban railway corporations were selected to compare each other in terms of operational efficiency. The results present three important findings. First, the Cobb-Douglas model was found to be more valid for SFA compared to the Translog model. Second, the efficiencies of urban railway corporations in Seoul and Busan are relatively high whereas those of Daejeon and Gwangju are very low in efficiency in the area of sales revenue. In an aspect of number of transport of passengers, Gwangju Metro also showed the lowest efficiency. Third, the external factors are significantly associated with the efficiency, indicating that the efficiencies of Daejeon Metro and Gwangju Metro would increase while the efficiency of Seoul Metro would decreases when the external variables are excluded in the efficiency analysis. The results provide several meaningful implications for managers of the urban railway corporations as well as policy makers who are attempting to resolve the inefficiency problems of public enterprises.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the technical efficiency and its determinants for Korean Apiculture farming by using from door to door and e-mail inquiry data. The analysis was implemented through the Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier production function (SFPF) model including the technical inefficiency effect model for cross-sectional data. To measure the SFPF model, honey production was used for a dependent variable, and for input variables labor cost, preventive cost, material cost, feeding cost, depreciation cost were used. Farmer's age, farmer's career, farming scale, full-time or half-time firm and movement or fixed firm variables were used to measure the inefficiency effect model. The average technical efficiency on apiculture farming in Korea is estimated to be 0.8112. It means that there were technical inefficiency of about 18.88% in Korea apiculture farming. In this study there are some suggestions which could increase the technical efficiency of Korean apiculture farming.

An organization must restructure itself once it makes outsourcing decisions. Outsourcing is a strategy that a company adopts to direct internal efforts into strengthening its core business processes while contracting other companies for strategically less critical tasks thereby improving organizational production efficiency, and the strategy inevitably involves organizational restructuring. While public service organizations have increasingly embraced outsourcing as well, only a handful of studies analyze the change in efficiency from organizational restructuring. Therefore, this study uses Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to test whether efficiency improved in Korea Expressway Corporation's restructured branch offices. Korea Expressway Corporation evaluated and grouped its branches based on road extensions management, traffic volume, the number of snow days, road deterioration, and the number of junctions to differentially allocate its personnel and budget. The extent of efficiency improvement in each group was compared, and results show that inefficiency did not exist in any of the groups. The efficiency index among the three group categories was similar across the board; 9 offices in the A-group with its expanded personnel and budget had an efficiency index of 0.954, 12 offices in the B-group with unchanged personnel and budget conditions had an index of 0.950, and 12 offices in the C-group with reduced personnel and budget had an index of 0.937. SFA facilitates efficiency analyses because it does not require pre-restructuring data. This study is easy to apply in practice and empirically tests efficiency improvement in organizational restructuring based on data collected from all the branch offices in Korea Expressway Corporation.
