Abstract

This study estimated the long-run and the short-run price and income elasticity of crude oil demand by using the ARDL model in Korea. First, the long-run cointegration relationship existed between crude oil demand and price or income in the ARDL-bounds tests. Second, the long-run own price, the cross price elasticity and the income elasticity were both statistically significant elastic and sensitive in the ARDL. Third, there was autocorrelation of the residuals, but no misspecification errors and heteroscedasticity, and then the residuals showed a normal distribution. And the CUSUM & CUSUMSQ tests showed that the coefficients were stable. Fourth, the short-run own price, the cross price elasticity and the income elasticity were both statistically significant elastic and sensitive in the ARDL-RECM. The ECM with the short-run dynamics showed rapid adjustments in the long-run equilibrium of oil demand after the economic crisis. In the short-run, the sensitivity of crude oil demand to price and income changes has moved in the same direction as the long-run case. Korea, depending too much on foreign crude oil, is vulnerable to the shocks of oil prices, so rising oil prices can certainly have a negative impact on Korea's trade balance. And the elasticity of long-run oil prices may help to control and manage Korea's oil demand. The government needs to strengthen monitoring of the country's policies and market trends related to crude oil, establish strategies to customize national policies and market conditions, and strengthen active market dominance efforts through pioneering new market and diversification.

본 연구는 ARDL 모형을 이용하여 한국의 원유수요의 장기와 단기 자체가격, 교차가격 및 소득탄력성을 추정하였다. 첫째, ARDL-UECM의 한계검정결과에서 장기공적분관계가 종속변수인 원유수요와 독립변수인 자체가격과 교차가격 및 소득변수간에 존재하였다. 둘째, ARDL 모형(장기정태모형)을 통해 장기 모수들이 추정되었다. 셋째, 일부의 잔차의 자기상관이 존재하였으나, 반면에 설정오류가 발견되지 않았고 잔차항이 정규분포를 나타내었으며 이분산이 존재하지 않았고 CUSUM & CUSUMSQ 결과에서는 계수가 안정적이었다. 넷째, 추정된 원유수요에 대한 절대값으로 측정된 장기자체가격과 교차가격탄력성 및 소득탄력성은 모두 유의하며 1보다 크고 탄력적으로 민감하였으나, 반면에 단기자체가격과 교차가격탄력성 및 소득탄력성은 모두 유의하며 1보다 적고 비탄력적으로 민감하지 않았을지라도, 장기와 단기의 모든 탄력성들이 실제부호와 기대부호가 일치하였다. 다섯째, 국내의 일부 연구를 제외하고 대부분의 국외의 이전연구에서 단기자체가격과 교차가격 및 소득탄력성은 본 연구의 장기자체가격과 교차가격 및 소득탄력성보다 모두 더 낮다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 외국원유에 너무 의존하는 한국은 원유가격의 충격에 취약하게 되므로 유가 상승은 확실히 한국의 무역수지에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 장기적 원유가격의 탄력성을 이용하여 한국의 원유수요를 효율적으로 통제하고 관리하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다고 사료된다. 시사점으로 원유와 관련한 국가별 정책변화 및 시장동향 모니터링의 강화, 국가별 정책 및 시장현황 맞춤형 진출전략의 수립, 신시장 개척 및 진출분야 다양화를 통한 적극적인 시장선점 노력의 강화 등이 필요하다.
