The “space economy” refers to the technologies and industries related to the space sector which has recently emerged as a major global sector. As the Korean government is currently implementing various policies to foster the space economy, the research on the economic effects of the domestic space economy has become important. This study analyzed the economic effects of the Korean space economy using the input-output analysis, a framework for capturing inter-industry dependencies within an economy. The results of the analysis are as follows: a production inducement effect of 1.657, a value-added inducement effect of 0.641, and an employment inducement effect of 4.379 persons per 1 billion KRW. Compared with other nations that have conducted the input-output analysis for their space economy, the space economy of Korea has a relatively higher value-added inducement effect and employment inducement effect than those of other nations. Forward and backward linkage effects can classify the space economy as a ‘generally independent industry’ implying that this sector is in its early stages of development and that sustained investment by the government or private corporations is a critical factor for this sector’s growth. This study provides evidence-based groundwork to support policymakers in strengthening the Korean space economy.
