Purpose - In this paper, we, taking South Korea's foreign direct investment in RCEP partners as an example, will examine its investment efficiency in these countries and analyze the main influencing factors, making suggestions for further liberalizing and facilitating its investment in and even for promoting its trade and economic cooperation with them. Design/methodology - In this study, we look at the panel data of South Korea and the other 13 RCEP countries (Brunei excluded) from 2000 to 2019 and apply the stochastic frontier analysis to measure its foreign direct investment efficiency and explore the influencing factors in RCEP countries. We examine the investment potential of South Korea in these places. Findings - We find that South Korea's average investment efficiency in RCEP countries reached 0.62, indicating large investment potential. We also find that its investment efficiency in RCEP partners was heterogeneous. Our study reveals that South Korea's foreign direct investment is significantly positively correlated with the market size and population of the two countries, as well as with whether the host country has a coastline and rich natural resources, while negatively with geographic distance. It shows that free trade agreements, economic freedom, and regulatory quality play significant roles in improving investment efficiency. Originality/value - Through theoretical and empirical analysis, we deal with the efficiency and influencing factors of South Korea's direct investment in RCEP partners, proposing new drivers for facilitating its trade and investment in these countries and comprehensively evaluating the efficiency and revealing the trend of its FDI in these countries. In this paper, we put forward a solid theoretical basis for empirical analysis of the future economic and trade development between South Korea and its RCEP partners and give objective insights for further improving its foreign direct investment efficiency and tapping its investment potential.

The study empirically analyzed the differences in industry distribution and innovation activity performance in the metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas of Korea's bio companies, which are highlighted as future growth engines. The main innovation activities of the bio industry, which are focused on science and technology and expressed with high uncertainty, were analyzed, centering on human resources, technology cooperation, and investment promotion. As a result of the analysis, the biomedical industry in the metropolitan area was found to have a high proportion, and bio foods, bio-based chemicals, and energy industries in the non-metropolitan area, respectively. Moreover, the innovation activity performances differed between the two regions. In particular, the notable characteristics included human resources, investment promotion, and technical cooperation with medical institutions in the metropolitan area with a high proportion of biomedical industries, and technology personnel exchange and cooperation with private research institutions in the non-metropolitan area, which has a high proportion of bio foods, bio-based chemicals, and energy industries. This study is significant in that it is the first study to compare and analyze the performance of innovative activities based on the distribution of industries in the bio-industry, focusing on human resources, technology cooperation, and investment promotion. In addition, after investigating the distribution status and competitiveness of the domestic bio-industry by region, it will analyze the status and characteristics of the domestic bio-industry and present policy implications to implement relevant promotion policy more efficiently.

창업은 국가경쟁력을 높이고 고용을 창출하는 국가 핵심 전략임에도 불구하고 스타트업의 생존율은 크게 개선되고 있지 않다. 이는 기존 창업지원기관과 투자자의 고유한 한계성으로 창업의 초기단계인 스타트업에게 적시에 적절한 지원을 제공하지 못하는 것이 중요한 원인이다. 비교적 최근에 등장한 액셀러레이터는 스타트업에게 전문보육과 투자를 동시에 제공함으로 스타트업의 생존율을 크게 개선하여 주목받고 있다. 그러나 액셀러레이터의 생존과 성공에 영향을 미치는 투자결정요인에 대한 연구는 소수의 실증연구만 있을 뿐이며 이론적 근거가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 선행연구를 통해 이론적 기반을 제시한 비즈니스 모델 혁신 관점의 액셀러레이터 투자결정요인을 21개로 세분화하여 국내 액셀러레이터 투자전문가를 대상으로 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process, 계층분석과정) 분석 기법을 사용하여 요인별 중요도를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 액셀러레이터 투자결정요인 중요도의 상위요인은 '인적자원', '고객·시장', '지적자원', '창업가의 기회실현능력' 순으로 나타났다. 이는 액셀러레이터가 스타트업 투자의사결정시 솔루션 구현을 위한 스타트업의 핵심역량을 가장 중요한 요인으로 생각하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한 액셀러레이터는 스타트업의 핵심 경쟁력에 기반 한 명확한 가치제안과 차별화된 시장 포지션을 창출할 수 있도록 전략적이고, 핵심가치의 전달 방식은 시장 지향적인 비즈니스 모델을 선호하며, 급변하는 시장 속에서 한정된 자원으로 비즈니스 모델을 실현하기 위해서는 창업가의 혁신역량을 중요한 요인으로 인식하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 액셀러레이터 투자 대상이 되는 스타트업의 본질과 목표, 주요 활동을 잘 반영하고 있는 비즈니스 모델 혁신 이론에 근거해 도출한 액셀러레이터의 투자결정요인에 대한 후속 연구로서 액셀러레이터의 투자결정요인의 중요도를 분석하였다는 점에서 학문적 의의가 있다. 또한 액셀러레이터에게 투자의사결정을 위한 이론적 근거와 세부 투자결정요인에 대한 구체적인 정보를 제공함으로써 효과적인 투자를 할 수 있게 하며 투자유치를 희망하는 스타트업이 투자유치를 위해 무엇을 준비해야 하는지 안내함으로써 국내 스타트업 투자생태계 활성화에 기여함으로 실무적 가치가 있다.

This paper tried to evaluate an economic analysis about research and development far areas of renewable resource in Korea. To evaluate this validity, we tried to calculate the spillover effect of R＆D investment through input-output table. In the first stage of spillover effect, we simply calculate the rate of return on R＆D investment for renewable energy resources in Korea through the input-output model, which can calculate the value added as well as output based upon the price of 2000 year. According to the first stage calculation, the rate of return on R＆B investment in solar heat is higher than any other renewable energy. In the second stage we tried to calculate the second round of spill over effect, which derives from the additional amount of supply of renewable resources due to the R＆D investment. The overall evaluation of R＆D invesment including the first stage as well as second stage spillover effect shows that bio-energy and waste energy generate 14 times as well as 2.5 times in the rate of return respectively.

The labor force plays an important role in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) both in developed and developing countries. In countries where there are appropriate policies for training human resources and maintaining the health of human resources, such countries have a competitive advantage and can attract FDI inflows, besides having a workforce to meet the needs of foreign investors. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of the labor force and several other factors on FDI attraction in Vietnam. The empirical model is employed to perform regression and correlation on the impact of the labor force, real gross domestic product, inflation, index of business freedom, and index of investment freedom on Vietnam's FDI attraction by using a secondary time series data set during the period 1995-2018. The empirical results found that both labor force and inflation have a positive influence on FDI at a 5% significance level; index of business freedom has a positive impact on FDI at a 10% significance level, and real gross domestic product and index of investment freedom have a positive impact on FDI at a 1% significance level. From these results, this study proposes several important policy implications for Vietnam in attracting FDI in the future.

A widely accepted indicator of a project's economic potential is the internal rate of return (IRR). The primary objective of feasibility analysis for any project is to measure the economic potential for the project, normally defined as the expected return on capital investment. The analysis should be designed to determine whether a project is technically and economically sound, and under what conditions. Therefore, there are factors other than economic potential that must be taken into account in the reasonable composition of an investment program. These kinds of factors can be given proper consideration in project selection after the economic feasibility of alternative projects has been determined. The primary reason for having to choose among different projects is that capital resources are scare : the investment budget is limited. The case project, casting facilities investment project, treated in this paper were selected for their value in illustrating the methods of feasibility analysis. This case project an actual potential project and is analyzed on the basis of the best available data for the specific conditions for that project.

최근들어 국내 설비투자의 증가세가 주춤한 데 반해 해외직접투자는 급격히 증가하면서 해외투자 급증세가 국내투자를 위축시키고 있는 것이 아닌가하는 우려가 증대되고 있다. 본고에서는 이러한 관점에 대해 경제성장 단계에 따른 환경변화를 감안하여 분석하였다. 분석을 위해서는 국내외 투자간의 관계를 회귀나무(regression tree) 기법을 이용하였다. 분석결과 과거에는 해외직접투자가 국내 설비투자를 대체하다가 수출기반의 급성장기에 접어들면서 보완하는 행태를 보인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 외환위기 이후 해외직접투자가 국내 설비투자에 미치는 영향력이 사라진 것으로 추정되었다. 이러한 변화는 글로벌화가 진전에 따른 투자행태의 차별성 확대, 투자수익률이 높은 곳으로의 투자처 이전행태 가속화 등에 기인한것으로 볼 수 있다. 과거에는 지배적이었던 투자 결정 요인의 영향력이 약화되고 있는 것이다. 이는 한편으로 글로벌화에 우리 기업이 잘 적응해나가면서 투자의 유연성이 확대되었기 때문이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 분석 결과를 감안하면 최근의 해외직접투자 증가가 일방적으로 국내투자를 제약한다는 제한된 시각에서 벗어나 투자를 평가할 필요가 있으며 우리 기업들의 해외직접투자가 국제적 생산네트워크를 형성하여 생산자원을 효율적으로 활용하는 방향으로 이루어 질 수 있도록 유도함으로써 국내외 투자간 적절한 보완관계를 형성해 나가는 것이 바람직하다 하겠다.
