해양산업의 정보화효과 및 해양산업지원의 산업부문별 파급효과 분석

Abstract

Policy makers have emphasized the cultivation of knowledgebased marine industries in the environment of globalization. For this, the government, through financial supports, has continued to entice the participation from private. Thus, this study is to measure how our marine industry is affected by the government’s “informatization policy” and where it is in the present industrial structure. The marine industry is divided into four sectors in this study, such as water transportation, harbor, ship building and repairing, and fishery products. Three different financial supports for these four sectors are applied, then compared and contrasted with the changes in production activities of those four particular sectors and other industries. This analysis considers the industrial relations of substitution or compensation with other industries when it is supported by the government. The result of this analysis indicates that the marine industry is less IT friendly than other industries in our economy. The initial response for the marine industry is to increase the use of IT for the enhancement of its competitiveness through the reduction of transaction costs. And afterwards, choosing an appropriate type of the financial support is advisable to minimize the negative effects on other industries while ensuring the benefits from the support for the corresponding industry.
