Free Trade Agreement(FTA) aims at abolishing tariffs on trade among nations or regions resulting in having a significant impact on maritime transportation and port. Korea made the first FTA with Chile in 2004 and the trade volume between two countries has seen significant increase. The literature on such impact, however, seems to be very limited. The main purpose of this study is, therefore, to analyze the impact of Korea-Chile Free Trade Agreement on the imported container throughput from Chile at the Busan Port. For this both cross-sectional and time series data are collected that comprise container throughput, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), import tariff, and maritime freight rate, from 2000 to 2011, and the gravity model is applied. The main result of the study shows that the dependent variables, GDP and import tariff are statistically significant, but the maritime freight rate is not consistent with regarding to statistical significance and parameter sign.

The present study made an empirical analysis for investigating the competitiveness of technology trades in Korea. In particular, the study deduced the correlation between technology export and technology import using the variables of Gross Domestic Expenditure on R&D and Per capita industry value added Productivity and employed fixed effect model in panel linear regression model. It is found that the R&D expenditure of OECD countries made a significant effect on the technology import and the value-added labor productivity made a significant result on both technology export and import. Therefore, it showed that the technology trade in Korea made a sensitive response to labor productivity in OECD countries. By panel analysis, machine, construction, ICT, and service industry affect most on technology export in Korea for recent 5 years. For technology import, electric-electron, chemical, service, and construction industry have significant effects. This study contributed to understanding of industrial characteristics affecting technology trades in Korea and empirical analysis to show correlation between the factors affecting technology trade.

FTA 협상은 두 나라(또는 지역) 사이에 이루어지는 것으로 협상 여부와 상대국을 우리가 선택할 수 있다. FTA는 기본적으로 관세 및 비관세 철폐 수준의 급격한 시장개방을 목표로 하고 있으나, 시장개방으로 인한 산업피해는 양국간에 서로 경쟁이 심한 일부 산업에 집중되는 특징이 있다. 예를 들면 한$\cdot$칠레 FTA 의 경우 우리나라 과수산업에 집중적인 피해가 예상되나 다른 부문에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는다. 따라서 상대국이 어디이냐에 따라서 영향을 받는 부문이 극명하게 드러난다.
