  • The import content of export (ICE) has served as an indicator of global integration for several decades. It is defined as the share of imported products embodied in exports and can be interpreted as the relative degree of the utilization of global production network (GPN) over the domestic supply chain (DSC) in terms of 'value-added.' This paper proposes two new indicators of global integration. They are defined as the ratios of imports (foreign products) to gross output (domestic products) generated by exports and can be interpreted as the relative degrees of the utilization of GPN over DSC in terms of 'production.' Both indicators are easy to compute and can be compared between years, between countries, between industries, and between groups of industries. The paper applies the new indicators to the recent edition of the OECD's Input-Output Database. Finally, the paper shows that the recent slowdown in international trade is mostly due to the decrease in the international trade of intermediate goods, with significant implications regarding the future of global integration.

  • The import content of exports (ICE) is defined as the amount of foreign input embodied in one unit of export, and it has been used as a measure of the degree of integration into the global production network. In this paper, we suggest an alternative measure based on the decomposition of gross output and imports into the contributions of final demand terms. This measure considers the manner in which a country manages its domestic production base (gross output) and utilizes the foreign sector (imports) simultaneously and can thus be regarded as a more comprehensive measure than ICE. Korea's input-output tables in 1970-2018 are used in this paper. These tables were rearranged according to the same 26-industry classification so that these measures can be computed with time-series continuity and so that the results can be interpreted clearly. The results obtained in this paper are based on extended time-series data and are expected to be reliable and robust. The suggested indicators were applied to these tables, and, based on the results we conclude that the overall importance of the global economy in Korea's economic strategy has risen and that the degree of Korea's integration into the global production network increased over the entire period. This paper also shows that ICE incorrectly measures the movement of the degree of integration into the global production network in some periods.

  • 2012년에 한미 FTA가 발효되었으며 콘텐츠산업분야에서 역대 FTA 중 가장 많은 부분에서 시장개방이 이루어졌다고 평가받고 있다. 본 연구는 한미 FTA 체결에 따른 콘텐츠산업분야의 시장개방 효과의 하나로 수출입 효과를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 이는 정책적으로는 한류로 대표되는 한국 콘텐츠산업의 대외경쟁력이 FTA와 어느 정도 연관성이 있는 것인지에 대한 의미있는 해석을 도출한다. 이를 위해 1차적으로는 ANOVA 분석을 통해 평균적인 FTA 효과 유무를 추정하고, 이후 다른 요인들이 통제된 후 직접적인 FTA 효과 추정을 위해 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 한미 FTA로 인해 미국산 콘텐츠가 국내 시장을 잠식할 것이라는 우려와는 달리, 콘텐츠 수입측면에서는 통계적으로 유의한 변화가 발생하지 않았다. 콘텐츠 수출은 한 미 FTA협정 발효 후에 오히려 증가하여 대미 수출액에 통계적 유의미한 변화가 있었지만 한 미 FTA체결에 따른 효과가 아니라 그 외적인 변수들로 인해 수출액이 증가했다는 해석이 회귀분석을 통해 알 수 있었다. 실제 한 미 FTA협정의 콘텐츠산업 분야에서의 시장개방의 하나인 외국제작물의 편성비율 조정이 별다른 의미를 갖지 못했고 국내 제작물의 편성비율이 오히려 증가한 것을 보면 국내 콘텐츠의 전체적인 시장경쟁력이 높아졌고, 그 결과로 대미 수출이 증가한 것으로 볼 수 있다.
