| Abstract | The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of the Korean metal-related industry which consists of five industry groups - basic metal, metal product, machinery, electrical machinery and transport equipment -- during the 1967-1972 period. It is first found that there appears to be strong relationships between the five industry groups on the basis of material flows. Thereafter, the growth and performance of the industry for the period under study is analyzed in terms of number of establishments, employment, output, gross value added and export. Furthermore, the findings on the pattern of the industrial growth have been investigated. Other characteristics of the metal-related industry are presented and discussed. This is followed by an attempt to partly quantify the technological progress facet on the basis of Cobb-Douglas production function. Finally, a preliminary dynamic simulation model is developed for the decision maker to test his options. |
