The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the impacts of policy effects to boost basic industries on local employment. According to economic base theory, the policy of boosting basic industries affects basic employment portions in the region. In turn it affects ultimately regional economic growth. Therefore, based on economic base theory this study analyzed the impacts of basic employment portion on local employment through empirical statistical model targeted on cities and counties in Korea. However regional economic growth is not solely determined by basic employment portion. Thus, other determinants which are not supported by economic base theory, such as general supply and demand factors affecting non-basic industries, were controlled in the model. To measure basic employment portion, location quotient analysis was employed in this study, and OLS regression model is utilized as a statistical tool.
