Global production networks (GPNs) emerged as multinational companies strategically relocated different stages of their value chain over many regions. Since GPNs require moving materials, parts, components and finished products across national borders multiple times, as well as coordinating it efficiently, they are intensified further within an integrated region. Within the region, developed countries which enjoy a comparative advantage in higher value-added tasks specialize in the production of ICT parts and components and exhibit high export RCA indices while developing countries show high import RCA indices. But, as developing countries upgrade technological capabilities and achieve industrial upgrading through participation in GPNs, their level of sophistication improves. East Asian countries have participated in GPNs to a greater degree when compared to countries in other regions because of a variety of factors. They have benefited much as shown by a significant increase in the level of ICT sophistication and export shares, which in turn led to uneven regional developments of GPNs in the ICT parts and components industry.

This paper investigates the difference of writing requirements between the UCC2. and the UN convention on international sales of goods (CISG). To do it, the U.S writing requirement by statute of frauds was introduced by two sources of laws including common law and UCC${\S}$2-201. Although the U.S. statute of frauds requires some contract to be written with formalities, the way the requirement is satisfied is quite flexible in terms of its formalities. The UCC is more flexible than the common law in its formalities. The CISG does not require the sales contract to be written with any format, which is totally different from the U.S statue of frauds. Such differences between the U.S laws and CISG in writing requirement were investigated in the context of conflicts of laws.

In this paper, I investigate how international prices affect domestic prices and export prices in Korea by using vector error correction model(VECM) and estimate its impact on international trade. According to the empirical results, international prices, such as world raw material prices and oil prices, make stronger effects on domestic prices, in order of import, export, producer, and consumer prices. And recent years the effect of international raw material prices on domestic prices becomes larger. It implies importers, exporters and producers are more affected by international prices than consumers are. Therefore, the international trade, import and export, is affected by changes in international prices. Firms, especially importing and exporting companies, should do much efforts on risk managing about raw material prices variation, diversification of raw material suppliers, and oversea resources development. The government is needed to support on firms those efforts while doing its economic policies to cope with economic conditions and the price policy.

The purpose of this study is to analyze comparatively adult literacy surveys of UK, France and Germany who have developed their own adult literacy survey tools independently. The results of the study show that these three countries are similar in that all of them utilize literacy survey tools linked to their own adult literacy policies. The survey tools of the countries are based on the definition of adult literacy as functional literacy and everyday life skill. The criteria of adult literacy levels are differentiated in the context of the countries. And SQC model is adopted as the main model of developing the survey tools. Through this analysis, the following implications could be obtained to improve Korean adult literacy survey. It needs 1) to unify execution subjects of adult literacy survey and adult literacy policy. 2) to develop survey tools reflecting everyday life, 3) to make tools into module form, 4) to pursue the efficiency of cost and utilization of tools.

We developed a time comparison system using the ranging signal of the geostationary meteorological satellite(GMS). By using the system time comparison between the KRISS(Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science) cesium atomic clock and the GMS ranging signal has been carried out and the results have shown that the precision of time comparison at KRISS is about 10 ns. For the more accurate measurements we calibrated the receiver delay time between KRISS receiver and CRL(Communications Research Laboratory) receiver by using the portable GMS receiver.

This study analyzes the dispute settlement of between arbitration and litigation using a game theoretical approach. Many studies on arbitration have so far focused on the relevant institutions. However, there are few theoretical studies that have focused on the demand side of arbitration. The model presented here suggests conditions under which arbitration form a perfect Bayesian Nash equilibrium, provided that the players strategically choose a dispute settlement tool. Furthermore, the suggested model is used to analyze simple cases of international commercial dispute cases.

The purpose of this study is to compare the Korean consumers' global brand preference and purchase intension with Chinese consumers. Based on the literature review, we created structural correlation between consumer ethnocentrism, perceived quality, brand of origin image global brand preference and purchase intension. The survey polled 500 university students in Busan, Korea and Shanghai, China. SPSS ver.15.0과 AMOS ver.7.0 statistical package were used to analysis the questionnaire data. In order to examine the structural correlation between variables we operated structural equation modeling. The results of the study were as follows: in Korean case, perceived quality and brand of origin image had positive effect on global brand preference, but consumer ethnocentrism had no effect on global brand preference. And global brand preference had no effect on purchase intension, either. in Chinese case, perceived quality, brand of origin image had positive effect on global brand preference, but consumer ethnocentrism had no effect on global brand preference. while global brand preference had positive effect on purchase intension.

At present, with the diversified development of the global economy, the trade of cultural products has become an important factor affecting the competition of comprehensive strength among countries. As a neighboring country to China, South Korea has a similar cultural development environment to China. As an important pillar of South Korea's economy, cultural product trade, its development experience has reference significance for China. This paper adopts literature research method, comparative analysis method and empirical analysis method to conduct research. The article firstly analyzes the export level of China and South Korea from the scale of the import and export of cultural products, and finds the difference between the import and export of cultural products between the two countries. Then, it compares and analyzes the insufficiency of China's cultural product trade structure and the advantage of Korea's cultural product trade structure. Finally, this paper uses the stochastic frontier gravity model to conduct empirical analysis and draws relevant conclusions about the trade potential of cultural products between China and South Korea. The research results show that: (1) the international competitiveness of cultural products trade in China and South Korea is relatively high, but the competitiveness of China's cultural products has been improved slowly; (2) compared with South Korea, China's cultural product exports are affected by trade inefficiency factors larger. (3) The improvement of government efficiency has a great effect on reducing the inefficiency of trade in China.
