Abstract
As the logistics industry has played a significant role as the industry leading national economic development, this study analyzes the economic impacts of exogenous transportation modes, the core of the logistics industry, by using the input-output analysis. Through input-output tables of year 2010 of Korea, this study explores production inducing effects, value added inducing effects, employment inducing effects, supply shortage effects, sectoral price effects, forward linkage effects, and backward linkage effects of the transportation modes. Analysis results show that the production in one transportation mode induces large production increase in the field of petrol, transportation equipment, insurance, and machine rental service. In addition, it is investigated that railroad and road transportations modes have great supply shortage effects. This study can provide detailed policy implications by considering input-output analysis results in connection with social overhead capital investment, freight traffic share, and coastal water transportation. Finally, analysis results will contribute to helping in establishing policies on the development of transportation modes.
