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.

[ $\ulcorner$ ]하나뿐인 지구$\lrcorner$가 환경오염이란 중병을 앓고 있다. 산업혁명이후 빵 문제를 해결하기 위해 인류가 추구해온 개발위주의 성장전략은 인류에게 물질적인 풍요로움은 안겨주었으나 인류에게는 환경 파괴라는 값비싼 대가를 요구하고 있다. 석유, 석탄 등 화석연료를 사용할 때 발생하는 아황산가스로 인해 내리는 산성비는 호수, 숲, 강, 토양 등 자연의 경관을 죽이고 있다.

올해들어 원유가격 및 국제금리의 하락과 수출호조에 힘입어 경상수지가 큰 폭으로 개선됨으로써 종전에 거액의 통화를 환수해 온 해외부문이 금년에는 통화철조부문으로 전환될 전망이며, 앞으로 해외부문에서의 통화증발압력이 가중될 것으로 예상됨에 따라 통화당국은 지난 7월중 무역금융 융자단가를 인하하고, 통자안정증권발행을 확대하는 등 금융면에서 통화환수노력을 경주하는 한편, 외환부문에서도 단기자본도입억제를 위하여 연지급수입기간을 단축한 바 있다. 이에 이어 지난 8월 21일에는 최근증가추세에 있는 외자대출을 억제하기 휘하여 융자대상 및 융자기간의 축소와 함께 융자비율을 인하하였으면 연지급수입대상품목을 축소하였다. 또한 외국은행 국내지점의 양도성예금증서(CD)업무 취급허용과 함께 외국은행 국내지점 스와프 한도를 축소하고 외국환은행의 수입보증금 징수대상을 기한부수입에도 확대 적용하는 등 일련의 외환부문 통화대책을 추가적으로 실시하였다.

Competitions for secure oil are intense around the world due to the limited oil reserves. The situations are becoming more serious as China has participated in the competition. This paper aims to investigate China's offshore oil development strategies to balance the supply and demand of oil and then suggest its policy implications. A surging increase of oil demand due to the rapid economic growth as well as the stagnation in domestic oil output has turned China into a net oil importer since 1993. Therefore, China has placed a significant priority on securing long-term stability of its offshore oil to cope with the rapid growing demand. It has taken a variety of strategies to secure stable oil resource such as development of offshore oil resource, increasing the number of oil importing countries. China with the highest foreign exchange reserve of approximately $3 trillion as of 2010, has considered to employ foreign exchange reserves while making a huge amount of investment to secure oil resource. China has pursued several policies such as loan to oil production country for securing oil, foreign direct investment on offshore oil development, M&A of oil exploration and production companies and geographical diversification of oil importing countries. China has promoted offensive strategies for securing oil resource rather than cooperation with other countries. Thus, China should find a trade-off point for recovering relationship with international society while developing and investing renewable energy for long-term future. It will also address some implications for Korea, which has to prepare new strategies of overseas oil development.

This paper seeks to recommend strategic policy options geared towards enhancing sophistication level of Ulsan City's major export industries in the Republic of Korea. Ulsan's major export industries, including shipbuilding, automobile and petrochemical industries, turn out to be based mostly on low to medium technology with low R&D intensity suggesting relatively low level of product sophistication. Using a recent Eurostat high-tech industry classification table which suggests 9 high-tech industries, the paper identifies Ulsan's chemical industry as the only RCA industry. Focusing on chemical industry products at HS 6-digit level, specific products are identified at the efficiency frontier for future policy considerations.

The paper examines the determinants factor and business performance of global supply chain management. Partnership and process innovation were used as proxy for the characteristics of determinants factor of global supply chain management. Agility of business performance was used as proxy for the business performance of global supply chain management. Based on the analysis of sixty eight global supply chain management cases in Oil and Chemical Industry, the following results were found. Firstly, it was found that the process partnership of determinants factor affects agility of improved business performance. Secondly, process innovation of determinants factor was not improved more agility of improved business performance. However, there were several limitations such as characteristics of process innovation and partnership, etc.

In the Northeast Asian region, including Korea, China, and Japan, with rapid economic growth since the 1990s, intra-regional oil logistics has been increasing. Under such external circumstances, Korea has been pursuing a policy to become a Northeast Asian petroleum logistics hub since the mid-2000s. In order to become a Northeast Asian logistics hub, it is important to establish and promote a business model to promote the value-added oil logistics business. This study aims to propose policies and practical implications for increasing petroleum logistics by analyzing Korea's petroleum logistics business model in Northeast Asia. The results of case analysis through interviews with 23 tank terminal companies are as follows. First, most of the oil storage tank terminal companies interviewed are conducting value-added petroleum logistics such as blending, breaking bulk, and consolidation etc. Second, value-added petroleum logistics is caused by an imbalance in supply and demand among neighboring countries in Northeast Asia. In particular, there is a high demand for breaking bulk and blending connecting Japan, Oceania, the United States, and South America. Third, it is necessary to promote the promotion of value-added logistics by improving infrastructure, institutions, and regulations in response to the demand for value-added petroleum logistics, which will greatly contribute to Korea's policy for being Northeast Asian oil hub.

An anti-dumping has become the trade policy of choice for developing countries as well as advanced countries, hence it is the impending issue to the export-oriented countries including Korea. After colligating the analysis on the trade and industrial policy between Korea and China as well as the analysis on the preceding research, the main reasons of anti-dumping were selected as followings; an unemployment rate, real GDP growth rate and consumer price increase as internal factors, and trade balance, regional coefficient and trade specification index as external factors. Then, the research on how the above seven variable factors can affect the number of anti-dumping measures was accomplished. For the empirical analysis, the above information was used after reorganizing them by on the quarterly basis. Through the use of the correlation analysis, backward elimination of multiple regression analysis model and time-series analysis, it has appeared that the unemployment rate appeared to be the most important factors of anti-dumping measures in addition to the increase rate of trade balance. The variable such as the unemployment rate is uncontrollable for us, so it is appropriate to establish and operate an preemptive monitoring system based on the increasing rate of the amount of export and increasing rate of trade surplus.
