산업연관분석을 이용한 한국 축산업의 구조변화 분석

Abstract

In order to identify the economic impacts of the livestock sector on the national economy in general and the structural changes in the livestock industry and its related industries, an input-output analysis was conducted using the Ritz-Spaulding model with the past 20 years’ input-output tables. Cattle, hog, poultry, meat and processed meat products, dairy products, animal feed, and agricultural machinery have showed high growth rates over the past 20 years. However those are low in comparison to the total industrial growth rate of the nation. Also, it is shown that the added-value ratios are lower than those of other industries. However, it appears that the livestock industry and its related industries have more effect on inducing production and employment in comparison to other industries, making a significant contribution to the national economy. They also have high linkage effect, implying that their development has positive effect on the growth of the entire economy. Therefore, the substantiality of livestock industry and its related industries should be ensured, so that they can drive the qualitative growth of the livestock industry.
