IT 산업 인프라가 IT 산업내무역에 미치는 영향: 한국과 OECD 국가 교역을 중심으로

초록

This study is based on the Linder hypothesis to explain the determinants of intra-industry trade of IT industry. This study uses a difference of IT infrastructure between Korea and OECD countries as a factor representing a difference of demand structure proposed by the Linder hypothesis. A trade volume data of IT industry for the 10-year period between 2000 and 2009 and a difference of IT infrastructure in the same period were analyzed empirically by panel data models based on a generalized gravity model. Our empirical study shows that the difference of IT infrastructure has inverse relations with horizontal intra-industry trade and has positive relations with vertical intra-industry trade as the Linder hypothesis suggests. The empirical evidences imply that the difference of IT infrastructure between trade countries in IT industry acts as a proxy for demand structure considered in the Linder hypothesis.
