Abstract

본 논문에서는 우리나라 휘발유 가격의 비선형 동적 조정 과정을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 Threshold Vector Error Correction Model(TVECM)을 사용하였다. 구체적으로는 Hansen (1999)과 Lo and Zivot(2001)이 제안한 부트스트랩(bootstrap)기법을 적용하여 three-regime TVECM의 타당성을 확인한 후 사용하였다. 분석대상은 서울과 각 지역의 휘발유 가격 차이인데 서울-부산, 서울-대구, 서울-인천, 서울-광주, 서울-대전, 서울-울산, 서울-강원, 서울-충북, 서울-전북 등 총 9개 휘발유 가격차이 묶음을 다루었다. 추정결과 우리나라 휘발유 가격 조정과정은 비선형적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 서울-대전, 서울-대구, 서울-울산의 거래비용이 큰 것으로 추정되었다. 거래비용은 지리적 거리에 반드시 비례하지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 수송비용이 거래비용의 주요한 요인이 아님을 의미한다. 거래비용은 공급측면의 경쟁정도에 의존할 것으로 추정된다. We employ a threshold vector error correction models (TVECM) to investigate the nonlinear dynamic adjustment of gasoline prices in Korea. We consider 10 regional gasoline markets including Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Kwangju, Daejeon, Ulsan, Kangwon, Chungbuk, Jeonbuk and construct 9 price differences against Seoul. We use the bootstrap procedure suggested by Hansen (1999) and generalized by Lo and Zivot (2001) to show that three-regime TVECM is suitable for our analysis. Results indicate the gasoline price adjustment processes are nonlinear. Our estimation shows that Seoul-Daejeon, Seoul-Daegu and Seoul-Ulsan have bigger transaction costs than other market pairs and thus gasoline prices of these three regional markets are lower than that of Seoul. Gasoline prices of the other 6 regional markets are close to Seoul's price. One interesting finding is that the transaction costs are not proportional to geographical distances. This implies that transportation costs are not the main factor of the transaction costs. The transaction costs may depends on the competition intensity of gasoline markets in supply side.
