도시 규모와 입지에 따른 지역경제성장에 대한 산업다양성의 영향력 차이에 관한 연구

초록

This study examines the differences in the relationship between a change in economic development and industrial diversification according to the regional characteristics. Using employment data by industrial sector for cities in Korea from 2000 to 2013, this study calculated the annual growth rate of 1 minus Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) as an industrial diversification index. In addition, this study computed the annual growth rates of GRDP per person as local economic growth rates. This study then developed panel regression models separately according to the location and population size of cities, while controlling for the rate of basic sector employment as well as several endogenous and neoclassical growth variables. The findings indicate that the growth rate of industrial diversification index of the capital region has a significant and positive influence on local economic growth. However, the growth rate of industrial diversification index of the non-capital region has a different influence on local economic growth by population size. These results suggest that policy makers should consider the difference in regional characteristics when they formulate local industrial policies to promote local economic growth effectively.
