공간개념을 적용한 컨벤션센터의 효율성 분석

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to identify the spatial effects among the convention centers in Korea and to examine the efficiency of the convention centers in Korea with spatial effects. Design, data, and methodology –The data was gathered from the statistics of the Association of Korean Exhibition Industry. The samples were limited to 13 convention centers in Korea from 2014 to 2018. The input variables used in the study were the size of the exhibition hall and the size of the conference room, as well as the output variable was the number of events held annually. The Moran’s I and the Spatial Stochastic Frontier Analysis(SSFA) were used for the empirical analysis. Result – The empirical results show that convention centers in Korea have the spatial effects between the convention centers in terms of distance, and the efficiency of the convention center were increased by the distance between the convention centers is closer and the size of the exhibition hall is larger. Conclusions –The efficiency of the convention centers in Korea have been influenced by a spatial effect. It implies that the convention has an cluster effect. Thus, the distance between convention centers can be considered as a factor for enhancing the efficiency of convention centers in Korea.
