This paper provides empirical evidence on the impact of increasing import penetration on the job stability of Korean workers. The main results are as follows. First, import penetration negatively affects job stability. If an industry's ratio of imports to total supply increases by 1 percentage point, the turnover probability of workers in that industry increases by 4.5 percentage points. Second, the effect of trade liberalization is not symmetric between imports and exports. Unlike the case of imports, an industry's ratio of exports to output does not have a significant effect on job stability. Third, the impact of import penetration is not uniform across different types of workers. The negative impact is greater for workers in small firms, less educated workers, and those not protected by labor unions.

The transaction size between South Korea and the European Union (EU) had increased by more than two times among 2003 to 2008. With rapid growth of transaction, the EU was becoming important transaction object of South Korea gradually. EU has used the Antidumping policy as a trade protection tool against Korean 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 EU's macroeconomic activity and pressures for protection to Korean products under antidumping measures with using the current data that come from the WTO, World Bank for 2004 to 2012. The result suggests that pressures for protection under Antidumping measure against exporting of Korean products to EU have increased during periods of macroeconomic weakness of low GDP growth, larger deficit of trade balance, however, has not significantly affected during periods of high unemployment.

This article links the change in regional manufacturing employment in Korea after the financial crisis to the geography of technological and trade shocks. We conceptualize the trade shock as the rapid growth in Korean imports from and exports to China and ASEAN countries. We then measure the exposure to technological shocks as the degree to which regions are specialized in routine tasks, which are susceptible to automation technologies. Results show that local labor markets specialized in routine tasks experience significant falls in manufacturing employment. Regions whose industrial structure exposes them to rising import competition experience sharp drop in manufacturing employment. We also found that export plays a major role in explaining the growth of regional manufacturing employment.

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.

In accordance with the amendment of the Industrial Safety and Health Act of 2007, Korea completely prohibited the import, distribution and manufacture of asbestos like Europe and Japan. Accordingly, the current problem of asbestos is the safe maintenance and disposal of asbestos construction material, the disposal of asbestos, and the final disposal of asbestos building materials. In the past, Korea used 100,000 tons of asbestos every year, and the building materials using it exceeded 1 million tons per year. These asbestos building materials continued to be used until 2006, and the Ministry predicted that these materials would continue to be maintained until 2044. When the permeable hardening agent is applied to the asbestos building material installed in the pre-pretreatment step for the harmless treatment of the asbestos waste and the dismantling is carried out, the scattering of the asbestos is suppressed in the disassembling step, detoxification treatment conditions can be improved. Therefore, permeable hardeners should be stably penetrated into asbestos building materials. In this study, it is suggested that pre - pretreatment methods for the harmlessization of waste asbestos building materials with medium density level can be presented. In order to efficiently perform pre - treatment for chemical harmlessness in the future, the mixing ratio of permeable hardener and middle water Optimization is the most important factor.

[ $\ulcorner$ ]서유럽에서의 주요 질소질단비인 질안의 지위는 역사적 및 농경학적 기반위에서 오래도록 유지되어왔다. 그러나, 1980년대중반이래 서유럽에서 비교적 요소의 대량이용력이 이 지역 질안의 우세에 대한 주요도전이 되었으며 결과적으로 질안생산자에 대한 도전이 된셈이다. 요소의 시장침투 정도는 저가의요소 위협에 대처하기 위해 장기적으로 성장이 유지될 전망이 별로 없는 시장에서 시장 점유율ㅇ르 고수하려는 기존생산자들의 행동으로 반영된다. 첫 번째 대응은 수입자에 대한 법적조치를 취한것이며 최근에는 이들 기존생산자들이 시장의 변하는 욕구를 충족시키기 위하여 시설용량과 제품형태면에서 그들 자체의 제품을 평가하고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 대책으로 충분할것인가하는 의문은 사라지지 않는다.$\lrcorner$

This study seeks to expand the jewelry market and overall development of the industry by understanding the fashion jewelry market and researching marketing strategies based on changes in market consumption. Looking at recent changes in the jewelry market, the number of new consumers (fashion jewelry buyers) has increased since 2014, leading to a recovery in purchases and strong sales. However, the decline in costs is prolonged, the focus on purchasing low-priced products is increasing, and there is a growing trend of purchasing products other than rings. Items are becoming more diverse, including bracelets and necklaces, and the popularity of imported products and brands is intensifying. Ultimately, the penetration of fashion jewelry and the growth of imported brands are expected to continue for a long time. The fashion jewelry market is a market that appears to have ample potential to grow into a larger market, filling the structural limitations of the jewelry market and providing consumer satisfaction in line with recent consumption trends. If so, We need to think about how to grow and develop this market, and We need to view it as a jewelry market in a broad sense, and it is a market that can serve as a bridgehead for the precious metal jewelry market to expand into the accessory market in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to create a jewelry market by utilizing the advantages of fashion jewelry, such as diversity of materials and expressions, price competitiveness, wide distribution channels and consumer accessibility, reflection of trends, and consumer awareness.

The success of apparel goods mainly depends on the purchase behavior of end use consumers. The decision making processes of apparel merchandise are very complicated according to the many information cues available to the consumers. The country-of-origin is one of the extrinsic cues to affect the consumers 'decision. To study the effect of country -of-origin, the Polo style knit shirts were chosen as stimuli to the male and the female subjects (total 527) aged from 18 to 35. The identical nine shirts (3 countries$\times$3 levels of price) were carefully manipulated for the treatments. The three countries labelled are Italy as industrialized country, China as less developed one, and Korea. In addition to the country-of -origin, the prices of the shirts were exposed to the respondents. The price levels were 14,000 won for the low, 39,000 won for the moderate, and 64,000 won for the high price level. The findings were as follows: 1) As price was increased, the perceived value and purchase intention were decresed. Price was not statistically significant to perceived quality, but it was significant to perceived value and willingness to buy. 2) The merchandise of "Made in Italy" was evaluated higher than those of "Made in Korea" and "Made in China" The country-of-origin had statistically significant influences on the perceived quality, perceived value and also willingness to buy. 3) The interaction between the two factors, country-of-origin and price, was not observed.n and price, was not observed.

면섬유는 강우량, 일조량, 온습도, 영양분 등의 성장환경조건과 유전인자 및 추수방법에 따라서 섬유길이, 단면구조, 꼬임, 성숙도 등이 다양하게 변화한다. 면섬유에는 pectin, cotton wax, 지방질, 단백질계 물질, 자연색소 및 무기질 등의 불순물을 약 5% 함유하고 있다. 이러한 물순물을 제거하여 처리액의 침투성 향상을 돕고, 백도를 증진시키기 위해 전처리를 한다. 본 연구에서는 산지별로 생산되는 원면의 특성을 알아보기 위해 중국, 인도, 인도네시아, 파키스탄에서 원면을 각각 수입한 후 동일한 조건으로 편직하였다. 4개국 원면의 꼬임과 단면형태를 관찰하고, 불순물의 함량을 알아보았으며, 정련과 표백처리를 농도별로 진행하여 전처리조건이 염색성에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 정련 및 표백조건을 20% 씩 증가시켜가며 전처리를 하였고 농도별로 전처리된 시료를 Yellow 색상의 반응성 염료 0.005% (owf)로 염색한 후 자동컬러측색장치(CCM)를 사용하여 색차, Yellow Index(Y.I.), White Index(W.I.)를 비교분석하였다. 결과를 보면 인도산 원면이 다른 원면에 비해 Y.I.와 W.I.에서 다소 차이를 보였고, 염색현장과 조제업체에서 제시한 표준 전처리조건을 참고로 하였을 때, 표준 전처리조건 대비 0 ~ 40% 농도까지는 색상차이가 크게 나타나지만 60% 농도 이상에서는 색상차이가 크지 않았다. 이 결과로부터 산지별 원면의 전처리시 최소한의 조제투입량으로 최적의 전처리효과를 볼 수 있는 전처리공정조건을 설정할 수 있었고, 이로써 원가절감 및 오폐수감소 등의 효과를 기대할 수 있다.
