Abstract

For economic impact analysis on a R&D project of high-yield groundwater development in Jeju conducted by KIGAM from 2004 to 2007, benefit/cost ratio(BCR), net present value(NPV), and internal rate of return(IRR) were calculated by contingent valuation method(CVM), production function analysis, domestic water market analysis and technology factor analysis. Measurable direct impact parameters among the major outputs of this R&D project consisted the estimation 4 high-yield and high mineral groundwater reserve in Jeju. Annual use of the reserve by piped water and bottled water was estimated as 12.23 million ton and its monetary value was calculated as 293.4 million dollar in 2006 year value applied of 5.5% discount rate. Economic impact of this R&D project in NPV of year 2006, with applying a discount rate of 5.5%, was identified and estimated as 13.66 million dollar in NPV, 4.05 points in BCR, and 22.74% in IRR, respectively. Additional early launch benefit was 5.58 million dollar. Even increased of the 1% discount rate, NPV of this R&D project was also positive as 12.18 million dollar and BCR was 3.71.

본 연구는 지질자원 연구개발 분야에서 경제적 효과 분석 연구가 활발히 수행되지 않은 분야인 지하수자원 분야의 연구개발 사업을 대상으로 경제적 효과를 분석하고자 한다. 제주도 청정 대용량 지하수 개발사업 중 2004년에서 2007년 기간에는 5년간 44.70억원(2006년 가치, 5.5% 할인율 적용)의 연구개발비용을 지출하여 제주도 지하수 부존량 산정, 대용량 지하수 개발 가능 지역 선정 및 개발 타당성 제시 등의 연구가 실시되었다. 본 사업의 편익요소로 대용량(2만톤/일 이상) 지하수 부존지역 깨소 설정으로 3,600만톤/년의 제주도 지하수 개발지역을 확보한 것으로 보았다. 이에 지하수개발시업의 편익에 연구개발 기여도(9.97%)를 적용, 연구개발투자에 대한 경제성 분석을 실시하였다. 기존의 경제이론 및 결과자료(가상가치평가, 생산기석도)와 시장자료(수입단가, 시설용량)를 기초로 한 지하수개발사업의 편익을 도출하고, 사업의 실행화 시점 및 할인율의 변동에 따른 영향을 제시하였다. 분석 결과 상수도 및 병입수 상업화로 연간 총 1,223만톤의 지하수 이용은 2,934억원의 가치로 나타났으며, 연구개발 투자효과는 2006년 순현재가치(NPV)로 30년간 총 136.59억원, 비용대편익비율(B/C ratio)은 4.06이며 내부수익율(IRR)은 22.74%로 나타났다. 사업화 시행 시점을 기존 10년 후에서 5년 후로 앞당기는 경우 추가적인 55.80억원의 편익이 산정되며, 사업의 할인율이 1% 상승하는 경우 역시 166.73억원 편익이 발생하여, 순편익 121.82억원, 비용편익비 3.71로 연구개발사업 타당성을 확보한다.
