Labor share of income in Korea has fallen from 90% in 1996 to 79% in 2010. This paper explores the factors driving the movements in the labor share of income based on a panel dataset containing 19 years of data on 18 Korean manufacturing industries. The effects of technical progress, globalization and the bargaining power of labor and capital on the labor share of income are tested for the period of 1991-2009. The main empirical results are as follows. (1) Capital-aug menting technical prog ress measured by capital-labor ratio and R&D intensity has a negative effect on the labor share. (2) Market openness measured by the value of export and import as a ratio to value-added production is found to have a positive impact. (3) Globalization of production measured by inward-FDI and outward-FDI as a ratio to total domestic fixed capital is found to have a negative impact on the labor share. (4) Union density is found to have had a statistically significant effect in 1991-1998. This finding is consistent with the efficient bargain model in which firms and workers bargain over both wages and employment. But union density is insignificant in 2000-2009. This implies that since the financial crisis in 1997, the bargaining institution in Korea has been approaching the right-to-manage model in which firms and unions bargain over wages and then firms set employment unilaterally. (5) Variables for domestic financialization measured by dividend-income ratio and financial-fixed assets ratio have an insignificant effect on labor share.

IKE, which is the standard key management protocol for IPSEC, is said to have several known problems. To resolve the problems of the IKE, two protocol proposals are being discussed in the IETF. the IKE version 2 and Just Fast Keying protocols. They should satisfy several protocol design requirements such as the protocol simplicity, the endurability against DOS attacks, the degree of the PFS, the identity protection, the cryptographic negotiation, and the authentication methods. In this paper, we summarize the characteristics of these two protocols and try to analyze their implications according to the protocol design requirements.

This study is aimed to investigate the structure of world pollack markets and the position/competitiveness or Korea for WTO/NAMA Negotiation. First or all, it is clearly pointed out that many limitations and problems are inherent in FAO statistics that is widely utilized to investigate the structure of international seafood markets. Especially, it is impossible to find not only the data for Russia that is the top production and export country of pollack, but also the data for importing/exporting countries for pollack. In order to make up for these problems, the data for export and import of major countries are collected and analyzed. The results of analysis show the followings. First, it is clearly investigated that classification of fish products are different for countries. Second, it is understood the structure of international pollack market in actuality. The pollack market is segmented by frozen, fresh, dried, fillet, roe, surimi, etc. In addition, the pollack market has grown as much as 600,000 tons in amount and $1.2billion in value. Third, competitiveness of Korea in international pollack markets is measured quantitatively. It shows that Korea has low RAC index and TSI index, but high RMI index. Thus, it is identified that Korea becomes the largest pollack importing country. Fourth, the partial equilibrium analysis on pollack import market of Korea indicates that the frozen pollack has both price elasticity and substitution elasticity, while the fresh pollack has income elasticity.

North Korea has steadily implemented defense reforms to strengthen its national defense capabilities, and in particular, has made military technology development and military industrial capability strengthening as the focus of national defense reform. North Korea's defense reform ultimately aimed at securing nuclear posture, and as technical achievements accumulated in the Kim Jung-Un era, it led to the development of military strength such as hydrogen bombs and ICBM/SLBM. Having secured nuclear capability, North Korea is also pursuing a symmetricality in the conventional military strength by securing a strategic advantage by pursuing the modernization of the conventional weapon systems through defense reform again. Up to now, North Korea's defense reform has succeeded in establishing a new ruling system for Kim Jung-Un and creating a driving force for negotiations with the United States.

In order to compare and analyze the international competitiveness of Non-Timber Forest Products, the analyses of Revealed Comparative Advantage, Market Comparative Advantage, and Constant Market Share were performed in this study. From the result of data analysis from 2002 to 2006, most of items lost the international competitiveness. In the case of chestnut, however, the RCA and MCA indices recently has decreased, but still shows the competitiveness. As a Non-Timber Forest Products show a weak international competitiveness, Import is expected to increased according to the pending FTA and DDA negotiations of Korea/China. Therefore, In order to elevate the international competitiveness, reinforcement of policy support to durable technical development is required to lower the production cost and to heighten the added value.

우리나라는 원조를 받는 수원국에서 원조를 주는 공여국로 성장한 최초의 국가이며, 경제력 신장에 따라 국제사회에서의 국가 위상 역시 크게 높아 졌다. 한국에 대한 국제사회의 기여요구가 증가함에 따라, 우리나라는 2009년 경제협력개발기구(OECD) 개발원조위원회(DAC)에 가입하여 국제사회에서의 영향력을 확대하고 있다. 한국의 국제개발원조는 한국국제협력단(KOICA)을 통해 대부분 이루어지고 있으나, 그 범위가 넓어 실질적으로 농업부분의 원조는 2009년의 경우 250억 내외로 전체 지원금의 6.8-8.8% 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 농림수산식품부는 농업부문에 특성화된 국제협력사업을 추진함으로써, 첫째, 수혜국의 농업 농촌개발과 농가소득 증대에 따른 빈곤문제 해결은 물론, 둘째, 아국의 해외농업개발 및 해외농업자원 개발에 힘쓰고 있다. 이러한 기본방향은 우리정부가 해외농업개발 및 농업자원 확보의 중요성을 인식하여, 적극적인 민간참여하에 기업, 대학, 연구소 등의 컨소심엄 구성에 의한 사업추진을 유도함으로써 지원국과 수혜국 등 양국 모두의 이익을 추구하는데 목적이 있다. 따라서 동국대학교 ODA사업은 아시아 중점 협력국인 베트남의 달랏 (Dalat)지역을 대상으로 농업시설 및 기술지원 사업을 수행하고 있다. 베트남은 외국과의 경제협력에 노력을 기울이고 있으나, 현재까지 도 농간 심각한 경제적 불균형과 농촌빈곤 문제를 해결하지 못하고 있다. 그러나 베트남 달랏은 농업 환경여건이 원예 특용작물 생산에 적합한 지역이므로, 고부가가치 농산업의 특성화를 통한 베트남 농업 개선사업의 모델을 제시할 수 있는 적지이다. 본 사업은 베트남의 특성화된 고부가가치 작물 연구 및 생산지원, 한국 농기업과 연계한 베트남 원예 특용 농업유전자원의 지속적 확보와 이용, 국내 농산업관련기업의 해외시장 개발 등을 목표로 하고 있다. 이러한 협력과 지원으로 베트남의 경제적 기술적 발전과 경제구조의 회복을 유도하고, 도 농간의 균형발전을 통한 저개발국가의 경제발전모델을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한 한국의 해외 농업유전자원의 지속적 확보 및 이용, 대외 이미지 제고와 외교력 강화, 경제협력 강화와 국내 농산업 관련기업의 발전 및 해외 진출 확대, 국제회의 및 협상에서의 아국의 입지강화 등에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Korean engineering firms need to improve their performance in order to stay competitive in the globalize environments which has been led by some international movements including World Trade Organization (WTO) and Free Trade Agreements (FTA). There have been various activities and researches focusing on how to improve competitiveness of Korean engineering firms and the out-of-fashion Engineering Project Delivery System (EPDS) has repetitively identified as one of main barriers to deter advancements of Korean engineering industry. Therefore, this research attempted to investigate global standards of EPDS such as International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC), American Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), Brooks Act, and so on. The procedures of international EPDSs along with a few case studies were comprehensively analyzed and compared with Korean EPDS in order to propose recommendations of improving Korean EPDS. Some major differences between international and Korean EPDS were identified and they includes emphasis on qualifications of engineers and/or firms rather than their proposed cost, extensive use of long and short-list, common use of negotiation process, etc. Research findings are envisioned to guide the Korean public engineering sector to innovate Korean EPDS.

In this study, the causal relationship between the main factors influencing the import of agricultural products and the changes in agricultural imports was investigated. In addition, we compared the magnitude of the impact of each factor on the changes in agricultural imports. It was found that the import liberalization rate, which represents the FTA factors and reflects the per capita GDP, the conditions of supply and demand of agricultural products in exporting countries and the changes in exchange rates, affects the changes of the agricultural products imports. However, the factors affecting the change of the imports by agricultural product category and the magnitude of the influence by each factor were different. This shows that various factors, other than the FTA factors, are compounding the changes in the agricultural imports. In the future, the market openings due to the implementation of the FTA will be further enlarged and the economic territory of the FTA will be further expanded, due to the implementation of additional FTAs, and the changes in the imports of agricultural products will cause damage to the domestic agricultural sector.

We study the optimal policy of the contracual arrangement in raising the debt-to-equity ratio for oil, gas and mining project finance deals. We investigate the impact of the optimal contractual relationship between counterparties on the soundness of projects, differing in output price volatility and country risk. Key findings are: first, the existence of EPC sponsors and off-takers generally raises the debt-to-equity ratio. In particular, EPC sponsors and off-taking sponsors jointly mitigate the credit risk caused by counntry risk. Seocond, off-taking and EPC contracts jointly help mitigate the credit risk caused by the country risk, rather than the price volatility. Indeed, the contractual structure raises the debt-to-equity ratio.
