Abstract

This study is to set guidelines for as well as verify the estimation method to come up with the appropriate scale of the number of small business companies in Korea by analysing the appropriate scale of the number of small business companies in 30 OECD countries using the data from OECD. In the study, we tried to understand the correlation between the scale of the number of small business companies and economic growth rate as well as analyse the appropriate level of the scale of the number of small business companies in Korea through comparison between OECD countries. For this, we used the data from OECD and labor-related data from ILO performing analysis with panel analysis. Firstly, according to the analysis on the determining factor of private business based on the data from OECD, it has been found that the higher the unemployment rate gets, the lower the rate of private business owners does, and further the bigger tax burdens get, the lower the rate of private business does. Secondary, the appropriate rate of private business in Korea estimated based on the data from OECD has been found to be 11.1%. The estimation of the scale of the number of private business owners by this rate of private business and the number of the employed in 2008 showed that the number of private business owners across all the industrial fields in Korea estimated by panel analysis was 5.964 mil. as of 2008 with surplus of 3.355 mil. that equals to 14.2% of the number of the employed. Thirdly, from the analysis on the influence of the rate of private business on the economic growth rate in Korea, it has been found that the rate of private business has negative (-) influence on the economic growth rate. And besides, it has been found that export and import amount has positive (+) influence and dishonored bill has negative influence on the economic growth rate respectively. These findings in the study have several implications: By enlarging the initial stage of the study to establish the current determining factor of small business companies, we have found new fact on how the variables contained in the findings influence the determining factor of small business companies and national economic growth rate. From a study research perspective, besides, we have testified the estimation method to verify the influence between the scale of the number of private business companies & its appropriateness and the economic growth rate in Korea. Through this estimation method for the appropriate scale of the number of private business companies, we have established a ground for further studies on which approaching method we need to take in measuring the appropriate scale of the number of private business companies in Korea, along with cause analysis on the surplus-related perception of private business owners in Korea. Moreover, this study would result in as much contribution to the establishment of government policy on determining the scale of the number of private business companies in the future as follow-up academical development.
