This study aims to analyse determinants of payment balance of Korea, targeting 65 countries which concluded FTA with Korea in 2012 or are pursuing it with Korea( effectuation, agreement, negotiation and joint research). For an analysis model, economic and geographical variables of target countries were included in explanatory variables of the gravity model and divided values which indicate surpluses or deficits in trade with Korea were marked in dependent variables to perform a logistic analysis. If payment balance in trade between Korea and specific countries is a surplus, a value of 1 is given and if it is a deficit, a value of 0 is given. As a result of estimating the logit model, it was discovered that variables of GDP, GDP per person, total trade with trade partners, petroleum, landlocked countries and maritime powers were not statistically significant. However, variables of total trade, export dependency, import dependency, distance and mineral were statistically significant.

지난해 인쇄업계의 인쇄물수출은 전년에 비해 20% 가까운 증가세를 보인 가운데 2억5천만 달러를 기록했다. 인쇄물수입은 2.6% 증가에 그쳤지만 금액으로 3억6352만 달러를 기록해 인쇄물의 무역수지는 1억 달러가 넘는 적자를 기록한 것으로 나타났다. 최근 수년간 인쇄물의 수출액이 2억 달러 수준에서 제자리걸음에 가까운 움직임을 보이고 있는 가운데 인쇄물의 무역 수지는 여전히 적자를 벗어나지 못하고 있는 현상이 고착화되지 않을까 하는 우려가 일고 있다. 더욱이 지난해처럼 달러화, 유로화, 엔화 등 기축통화에 대한 원화의 가치가 떨어지면서 수출에서의 가격경쟁력이 상대적으로 높아진 것으로 평가됨에도 불구하고 기대만큼의 높은 증가세를 보이지 못한 것은 아쉬움을 남기고 있다. 또한 대안 마련의 필요성도 대두되고 있다. 해외 마케팅 전문인력의 부족, 미흡한 정부 차원의 수출지원, 중국 등 후발국가에 대한 가격 경쟁 열세 등 우리 인쇄산업의 수출 확대에 가로 놓인 어려움이 적지 않지만 이런 어려움 가운데서도 인쇄물 수출에 아낌없는 노력을 기울여 나름대로의 성과를 거두고 있는 업체들도 있다. 긴 호흡으로 보아야 한다는 인쇄물 수출 분야에 단기간의 성과를 기대하며 도전하는 것은 금물이라는 말이 있다. 내수시장의 고질적인 어려움을 감안, 중장기적으로 수출시장의 개척에 대해 진지하게 모색하는 것은 이제 인쇄업계에 몸담고 있는 이라면 누구라도 공감할 과제의 하나로 다가오고 있다. 인쇄물 수출분야에서 성과를 거두고 있는 업체들을 만나 본다.

The impact of global trade on developing countries is a critical subject. Especially in this country, under difficult conditions like political issues with North Korea, achieved a trade surplus of 90.2 billion dollars last year. While the service trade recorded a deficit of 15.7 billion dollars in the same period. According to WTO, services are either the result of a production activity that changes the conditions of the consuming units (transformation services), or facilitates the exchange of products or financial assets (margin services). To unify and compare with the trade and service statistics of countries, they assorted 12 classifications of services like Manufacturing service on physical inputs owned by others, Maintenance and repair service n.i.e., Transport, Travel, Construction, Insurance and pension service, Financial service, Charges for the use of intellectual property n.i.e., Telecommunications, Computer and information services, Other business services, Personal, cultural and recreational services, and Government goods and services n.i.e. Thus, this study is to estimate the international competitiveness of service trade between 2006 and 2015 in Republic of Korea, according to EBOPS 6th. As a result, total service volume of export and import has increased in the last 10 years. Its volume, recently, accounts for 22% of total goods trade. Also the Korean Government can make a supporting policy and decide a supporting business in terms of service trade. Finally, we can find a mutual connectivity within 12 service businesses and between Service and Goods.

This study is to investigate the problem of credit rating by Korea Trade Insurance Corporation(KSURE) which evaluates overseas buyers in a state of capital impairment as G-grade regardless of the cause of capital impairment. This study classifies capital impairment into two types: deficit-type capital impairment due to accumulated operating losses and surplus-type capital impairment due to shareholder return policies such as dividends and treasury stock buybacks. It is proposed to improve the credit evaluation method on companies with surplus capital impairment from a formal review to a substantive review. This study is expected to improve credit rating of KSURE on overseas buyers for better support of trade credit insurance for exporters.

The objective of this study is to conduct a quantitative assessment of potential impacts on the Korean economy of Agreement on Trade in Services Under the Framework Agreement on Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Among the Governments of the Republic of Korea and the Member Countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations which was signed on 21 November 2007 using a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. Tariff equivalents of services were calculated on the basis of concessions made in the Agreement between Korea and ASEAN member countries. The empirical analysis shows that Korea is to get an additional gain in real GDP of 0.04 percent and in welfare of US$106 million, with an increase in per capita utility of 0.03 percent. Total exports and imports of Korea are to rise by US$179 million and $191 million, respectively, causing a trade deficit of $12 million. Korea's exports to ASEAN member countries will increase by $108 million and Korea's imports from them will rise by $278 million, giving rise to a trade deficit of $170 million.

China has used the Antidumping policy as a trade protection tool against Japanese products due to reduce the deficit of trade balance of payment, boost the economic growth and protect its weak industries. This paper investigates whether there is a connection between the China's macroeconomic activity and pressures for protection to Japanese products under antidumping measures with using the current data that come from the WTO, World Bank for 1997 to 2010. The result suggests that pressures for protection under Antidumping measure against exporting of Japanese products to China have increased during periods of macroeconomic weakness like high unemployment, larger deficit of trade balance and decreased during periods of macroeconomic strength.

The recent analyses of carbon emissions embodied in international trade are related with discussions on who is responsible for the carbon emissions causing global warming. Some authors insist that the countries importing carbon-intensive goods should share the responsibility with the suppliers of those goods. In order to determine which countries are net importers of carbon dioxide embodied in traded goods, we need to construct the multi-regional input-output (MRIO) model incorporating national input-output tables and data on bilateral trades. The paper calculates consumption-based as well as production-based inventories by using MRIO model whose global database is GTAP version 8 to get the picture of carbon footprints in international trades of Korea and other regions in the world.
