지역 간 노동생산성 차이의 결정요인과 정책방향

초록

This paper attempts to analyze the determinants of regional differences in labor productivity and suggest a policy direction based on the results. The component decomposition of the productivity difference was modeled using Esteban’s (2000) method, and the panel regression analysis method was employed to determine the key factors for the labor productivity differences. It appears that the key component for the differences is the competitiveness component and that the determinants of this key component differ by region. In Group I (Ulsan, Chungnam, etc.), ΔR&D (R&D differences) comprise the key determinant. In Group II (Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi, etc.), ΔHC (human capital differences) comprise the key determinant. Finally, In Group III (Busan, Deagu, etc.), ΔINV (investment differences) comprise the key determinant. These results imply that policies should be comprehensively considered in terms of the regional production environment, industrial characteristics, and labor productivity differences.
