대량화물 운송시장 진입규제의 경제적 효과

초록

According to the Article 24(4) of the Maritime Transport Act, the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs (MLTM) decides whether the entry of an owner of lot cargo into the maritime transport service market will be registered or not through a consultation of policy-advisory committee. The shipping service market of lot cargo is already competitive. Since it is not clear whether the entry of an owner of lot cargo into the maritime transport service market will fertilize competition further or not, an economic analysis needs. The results of this article say that the entry of an owner of lot cargo into the maritime transport service market does not fertilize competition further nor increase competitive power of exporting goods. It decreases scale economy of incumbents, and prevents incumbents from achieving minimum efficient scale or Stigler's minimum survival scale. As a result, the incumbents' possibility of exit from the maritime transport service market will be increased. Since the entry of an owner of lot cargo into the maritime transport service market is not clear as this article's results, and also considering special characteristics of the shipping industry, the Article 24(4) of the Maritime Transport Act is still necessary.
