The purpose of this study is to estimate change of productivity of Korean Port-Logistic industry from 2000 to 2009, and to induce policy implications. The method of analysis is panel data analysis based on 9 Korean Port-Logistic industry cross-section and 10 years time series. The result of estimate shows that the change of total factor productivity nearly did not happened for the periods. The elasticity of total factor productivity is more decreased after 2005 comparing with before 2005. In addition, the elasticity of labor input was increased, but the elasticity of labor input was decreased. It means that the productivity of Korean Port-Logistic industry was not improved despite incerasing port investment. Therefore, we can conclude that it is important to force on incerasing productivity of Korean Port-Logistic industry to raise international competitiveness of Korean ports.
