오늘날 글로벌 금융환경에서는 국가 간 자본이동이 확대되고 금융시스템의 밀접한 연계가 이루어진다. 따라서 어느 특정 국가의 금융위기는 지역 및 글로벌 금융위기로 전이될 소지가 매우 높다. 최근 미국발 글로벌 금융위기(global financial crisis)는 과거 1997~1998년 동아시아 금융위기 이후 동아시아 역내 국가들이 추진하였던 지역 금융협력 및 통합의 필요성을 각인시키는 계기가 되었다. 동아시아 지역 내 금융위기의 재발을 방지하기 위해 역내 국가들은 독자적인 유동성 공급을 위한 치앙마이합의(CMI)와 치앙마이합의 다자화(CMIM)를 실현하였다. CMI와 CMIM에 따른 역내국들 간 통화스왑협정(bilateral swap arrangement)의 확대는 역내 금융위기 발생 시 외화유동성 부족 해결, 지나친 외환보유고 축적에 따른 기회비용 제거, 그리고 견고한 금융협력을 통한 금융통합 추진 및 상호무역의 촉진에 목적이 있다. 동아시아는 특유의 생산네트워크 체제(production sharing system)구축으로 역내교역 비중이 대단히 높다. 금융 통합의 사전적 단계인 긴밀화된 금융협력이 지속적으로 확대되고 있는 상황에서 동아시아 국가들의 금융협력이 역내 수출입 물류에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 임의효과모형 (random effect estimation)과 고정효과모형(fixed effect estimation)을 통해 분석하였다.

본 연구는 주가지수를 경제적 척도로 삼아 동아시아의 글로벌 및 역내 통합의 정도를 검토하였다. 주가에 대한 충격을 글로벌 충격, 역내 충격 및 개별 국가 충격으로 분해하고 구조적 VAR 모형을 사용하여 이들 충격이 동아시아 국가들의 주가 변동에 미친 영향을 살펴본 결과, 1997년 금융위기 이후 점차 축소되는 추세이나 개별 국가 충격이 여전히 가장 주도적인 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 글로벌 및 역내 충격은 대부분의 동아시아 국가에서 그 비중이 점차 확대되는 추세이나 영향력은 그리 크지 않았다. 본고의 분석 결과는 최근의 자유화 및 역내 통합 진전에도 불구하고 동아시아 국가들은 아직까지 상호 이질적이며 유럽 국가에 비해 비대칭적인 충격에 더 크게 노출되었음을 의미한다.

This paper analyzes why the global financial crisis in 2008 severely affected Asia's trade. Asia has been suffering from the falls in export demand from developed countries. However the abrupt trade declines in Asia are not fully explained by reactions to this as in previous experiences. The question is why the financial crisis in 2008 brought about the abrupt and deep collapse in world trade, while other world-wide recessions had more moderate effects on world trade. This paper shows that the dynamic relationship between trade and trade finance is one important factor in explaining this question. This paper also applies the Granger (causality) test to uncover different relationships in the developed and developing economies and show different results for different countries in Asia. We employ a Markov-Switching FAVAR (Factor Augmented VAR) to show that global liquidity shocks are important factors in explaining the huge and abrupt trade drops in Asia.

This research intends to investigate the progress made in East Asian bond market integration thus far. Price-based measures (AAD indicator and beta-convergence measure), quantity-based measures and econometric techniques (co-integration test, error correction model based Granger causality test) are employed in the analysis. Even though East Asian government bond markets have become more integrated since 2001, the differentials among the markets still remain significantly high. The bond market integration process seems slow. The convergence of bond markets sped up in 2003 and after the 2008 world financial crisis, implying the important role of government policies in integrating the regional bond markets. East Asian bond market integration may need more government-directed measures.

The substantial slowdown of economic growth since the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 is rekindling debate on whether developing Asia should use fiscal expansion to boost aggregate demand. A key factor in the debate is the effectiveness of countercyclical fiscal policy in the region. The global crisis, as well as the fiscal stimulus packages implemented by developing Asian countries at that time, give some clues to this important issue. The region weathered the global crisis well and experienced a robust V-shaped recovery. According to conventional wisdom, the fiscal stimulus packages put in place by Asian governments played a key role in the region's recovery. The central objective of this paper is to empirically test this wisdom by using cross-country panel data. Our main finding is that the stimulus has had a limited but positive impact on developing Asia's output during the global crisis. This lends some support to the notion that countercyclical fiscal policy can help the region cope with severe external shocks. The broader, more fundamental implication for regional policymakers is that the region's long-standing commitment to fiscal discipline can yield significant benefits beyond macroeconomic stability. An important consequence of this commitment - relatively healthy fiscal balance sheets - enabled the region's governments to quickly and decisively embark upon fiscal stimulus programs.

During the past two decades, the Southeast Asian region has experienced a range of major crises. Service industries such as tourism and the marginal and migrant laborers who work in them have usually been at the sharp end of these testing events, from natural and environmental disasters, epidemics and pandemics, global financial slumps, terrorism, and political conflict. The latest challenge is the "Novel Coronavirus" (Covid-19/SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. It has already had serious consequences for Southeast Asia and its tourism development and these will continue for the foreseeable future. Since the SARS epidemic of 2002-2004, Southeast Asian economies have become integrated increasingly into those of East Asia (China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong). This paper examines one of the most significant current crises, Covid-19, and its consequences for Southeast Asia, its tourism industry, and its workers, comparing experiences across the region, and the issues raised by the over-dependence of some countries on East Asia. In research on crises, the main focus has been on dramatic, unpredictable natural disasters, and human-generated global economic downturns. Not so much attention has been devoted to disease and contagion, which has both natural and socio-cultural dimensions in origins and effects, and which, in the case of Covid-19, evoke a pre-crisis period of normality, a liminal transition or "meantime" and a post-crisis "new normality." The transition is not straightforward; in many countries, it operates as a set of serial lockdowns and restrictions, and to predict an uncertain future remains difficult.

The recent global financial crisis has highlighted the importance of international monetary and financial system reform. The current system is deemed to be no longer adequate to meet the needs of a complex, integrated world economy. With regards to the reform of the international monetary system, there have been various proposals both in demand and supply sides. These include proposals to build a stronger global financial safety net, to diversify the supply of international reserve currency and so on. These proposals face trade-offs between desirability and political feasibility. Given this situation, a practical transition would be to strengthen policy coordination among the major economies and to reform the International Monetary Fund. The success on both fronts depends heavily on global economic governance reform and the role of the G20. Increased status and representation of Asian countries in the G20 give both privileges and responsibilities to Asians. To meet these responsibilities, Asians should put forth greater efforts to develop their intellectual leadership in global economic issues through creating new forum and institutions.

이 연구의 목적은 경제공간의 역동성을 이끄는 세계화, 지식기반경제, 정보사회, 서비스세계의 4대 글로벌 메가트랜드를 통해 국가간 및 지역간에 나타나는 공간경제의 불균형을 이해하는 것이다. 동아시아를 대상으로 국가간 불균형과 일본, 한국, 태국을 사례 로 국가 내에서 지역간 불균형을 분석하였다. 4대 메가트랜드와 관련된 변수들을 모두 고려할 때, 4대 글로벌 메가트랜드는 국제적인 차원과 국가내의 지역적인 차원에서 불균형의 변이를 설명해주고 있다. 그러나 개별변수들이 공간적 불균형에 미치는 영향은 분석의 공간적 규모와 국가적 특성에 따라 달리 나타난다. 대체로 동아시아국가들간에 1인당 GNI는 수렴하는 경향을 보이고, 한 국가내의 지역차원에서는 불균형이 줄어드는 경향과 확대하는 경향이 함께 나타나고 있다. 1970년대의 두 차례의 석유파동과 1990년대 말경의 동아시아 금융위기는 일반적인 불균형완화경향의 연속성을 단절시키는 결과를 초래했고, 경제활동의 지역간 국제간 불균형을 증가시켰다. 이는 세계적인 위기의 영향이 국가에 따라 다르지만 일반적으로 주변국가와 주변지역의 경제는 세계적 경제위기상황에서 더욱 취약하다는 점을 시사한다.

This paper examines how APEC has transformed itself into an international forum for the vision of regional integration. It aims to quantify the documentation produced by the international organization and provide quantifiable evidence that aligns with prior knowledge rather than relying solely on intuition. For this purpose, I use various text mining techniques to extract multi-dimensional features from the text of APEC Leaders' Declarations from 1993 to 2023. In terms of interest and expectations for APEC as a forum, it is found that members have experienced two major peaks and troughs over the last three decades. It is found that the change point coincides with the Asian financial crisis of 1997 and the tensions between the United States and China since 2017. To explore more various aspects of economic integration in the Asia-Pacific region, this study also considers how consistently APEC has been an international forum for addressing issues, which members are active, and how members have clustered based on their views of APEC.
