R&D 아웃소싱의 국내제조업 기술혁신 기여에 대한 실증분석

초록

Using I-O tables and outsourcing index developed by Campa and Goldberg (1997) and Strauss-Kahn (2003), this study estimates R&D outsourcing indexes and investigates the contribution of R&D outsourcing to the growth of TFP (Total Factor Productivity) in Korean manufacturing industries. The empirical results are summarized as follows. First, R&D outsourcing increases for the period 1995~2006. However, the growth rate is much slower than outsourcing to other service industries. Second, production cost and R&D outsourcing show inverted U-shaped relationship. This result shows that R&D outsourcing contributes to the growth of TFP only after it pass a certain critical scale. Third, the contributions of R&D outsourcing to the growth of TFP increase after the financial crisis. Fourth, the contribution of R&D outsourcing to the growth of TFP is positively and significantly related with the intensity of R&D outsourcing.
