우리나라 고독성물질 사용저감 규제의 수정 편익-비용분석
A Revised Benefit-Cost Analysis of the Korean TUR Program

초록
청정사회 구축을 위한 독성물질사용 저감규제의 타당성은 사회적 경제성 기준으로 평가되어야 한다. 가장 보편적인 방법론은 편익-비용분석이다. 편익-비용분석은 규제 프로그램 운영에 따른 모든 편익과 비용 항목들을 화폐적 가치로 산정하여 이를 단순 비교하여 평가한다. 그러나 타당성 평가는 경제적 기준뿐만 아니라 정책적 기준도 반영되는 것이 합리적이므로, 항목들에 기준 가중치를 반영하여야 한다. 본 연구는 이를 위한 평가방법론을 개발하고 이를 2020년도부터 시행되는 우리나라 고독성 물질 사용 저감규제 프로그램에 적용하였으며, 연구결과 고독성 물질의 배출 저감규제의 타당성 평가를 위해서는 기존의 경제적 기준뿐만 아니라 정책적 기준도 적용하는 수정 편익-비용분석 기법이 합리적인 대안이 될 수 있음을 발견되었다.
The introduction of the Korea toxics use reduction (TUR) program to build a clean society is generally evaluated based on social economic criteria. Among various techniques, benefit-cost analysis is the most commonly used. This method is focused on the calculation and comparison of all the benefits and costs attributable to the TUR program. However, since it is reasonable to consider not only economic criteria but also policy criteria in the process of evaluation, it is necessary to reflect on the criteria weights found in the benefits and costs. This study aims at developing a new evaluation technique to achieve this purpose and apply it to the Korean TUR program to be implemented in 2020. This study selected competitiveness, toxic substances’ emission reduction ratio, and health improvement as policy criteria. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique was initially used to calculate the weight and then, based on the results, the concept of information entropy introduced by Claude Shannon was used to eliminate subjective bias. As a result of the study, it was found that the revised benefit-cost analysis considering the weights of the policy criteria, as well as the existing economic criteria, could be a reasonable alternative in evaluating the feasibility of TUR regulations for highly toxic substances.
