A consequence of global trade liberalization is that domestic regulatory policies have become a focal point for efforts to reduce the costs of engaging in cross-border production and exchange. This article discusses the general challenges of reducing trade frictions created by regulatory differences, focusing specifically on the role trade agreements might play in addressing regulatory spillovers. A case is made for a greater focus on plurilateral cooperation under the umbrella of the WTO.

These days, Korean government has been expanding Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with major countries. Expansion of FTA, which means opening up the markets, can be the opportunity to develop for those enterprises with global competency; however, it surely brings disadvantages to such small and medium enterprises which function as an outsourcing and a subcontracted to large enterprises. For Korean economy to overcome the national income of US$20,000 and to jump up to the level of advanced countries, it is imperative to perceive a limit to the large enterprises only. Not only the leading efforts of small and medium enterprises to double the exports, but also realizing the policy reform for the consistent and intimate policy between the government and companies have to be proceeded. Therefore, primarily in this study, first, it includes the overview of the change in trade-environment in an era of FTA, governmental system and policy to support export for the small and medium enterprises; secondly, examination of the export capacity and some problematic factors in export for small and medium enterprises. Ultimately, it is suggested both reinforcement for global competency of the small and medium enterprises and an alternative policy for the support system in the time expecting export expansion.

This study investigates the effect of high-skilled inventor emigration rate on growth rate of the country of origin (COO). Inventor emigrants represent the human capital that can generate highly innovative work. The social network they form spurs knowledge diffusion and technology transfer back to their COOs, which in turn affects innovation and growth in their home countries. We run dynamic panel estimation for 154 countries during 1990-2011, and empirically show that a positive and statistically significant effect exists for the interaction of inventor emigration and trade. The result indicates that the direct negative impact of the brain drain can be mitigated by the positive feedback effect generated by the high-skilled inventor emigrants abroad. When coupled with an active trade policy that reinforces growth, countries can partially recoup the direct effect of the human capital loss. We stress the importance of international trade for successful technology transfer to occur, and offer insights for policies that can utilize the benefits of the rich social network of their high-skilled emigrants.

With the evolution of containerization and globalization of supply chains, aspects of port functions have made the transition from the sea to the inland region that forms the dry port. To explore the relationship between dry ports and regional economic development, this study uses a gravity model and forecast model to analyze 1,040 observations in 104 cities (22 dry port cities) along the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) from 2008 to 2017. The model includes economic variables, logistics variables, foreign relations variables, and human capital variables. It was found that the dry port is positively correlated with trade volume. Compared with a city without a dry port, the trade volume of a city with a dry port will increase 0.099 times. It can be concluded that a dry port is crucial for the economic development of the YREB. It was also found that per capita GDP as an economic variable, road area and rail number as logistics variables, and foreign relation variables are positively correlated with trade volume, while the human capital variable has no significant effect on trade volume. In addition, governmental policy implications are addressed from the aspects of dry port and industry cluster caused by foreign investment.

미국 무역위원회(United States International Trade Commission)는 불공정 무역으로 인해 무역 질서를 해치는 경우 상계 관세(Countervailing Duties)와 반덤핑 관세(Antidumping Duties) 등을 징수하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 상기 연구 목적을 달성하기 위하여 상계 관세 및 반덤핑 관세와 관련된 데이터를 수집해 양적 분석을 수행하였다. 몇 가지 데이터 마이닝(Data mining) 기법을 활용한 본 연구의 양적 분석 결과, 미국의 상계 관세 및 반덤핑 관세 부과 경향이 우리나라의 중공업 산업의 성장률에 유의한 영향을 미친다고 잠정적으로 결론 내릴 수 있었다. 본 연구의 가장 큰 기여점은 '미국의 보호주의 무역기조가 울산지역의 주력산업의 경영성과에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다'는 직관적인 명제를 과거 데이터를 가지고 객관적으로 검증해보고 그 영향 정도를 계량화해 측정할 수 있도록 한 것이라고 할 수 있다.

This study investigates the relationship between economic growth, energy consumption, trade openness, population density, and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) emissions in Bangladesh for the period of 1975 to 2013. It applies the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration for establishing the existence of a long-run relationship. The bounds tests suggest that the variables of interest are bound together in the long-run when $CO_2$ emissions is the dependent variable. The results indicate that energy consumption has statistically significant positive effect on $CO_2$ emissions both in the short-run and long-run. The effect of population density is significant in long-run, but not in short-run. The estimated coefficients for economic growth and trade liberalization are negative and insignificant both in short-run and long-run. The paper suggests that the government of Bangladesh should undertake the policy actions to develop alternative energy sources which would not emit much $CO_2$.

This study analyzed the effect of degree of using online trade process services provided by e-Trade companies on the degree of user satisfaction and the online export performance in Korean small and medium-sized exporting firms(SMEs). According to the empirical survey results based on 130 sample firms, there were positive relationship among the frequency of using e-Trade companies' services, the degree of user satisfaction and the online export performance. Furthermore, the results of the moderated regression analysis showed that there were significant moderation effect of the organizational characteristics on the relationships between the degree of user satisfaction and the SMEs' online export performances. This study provides several useful implications to Korean SMEs, e-Trade companies and government policy makers.

지난 10년 동안 국제모바일로밍서비스가 제공되어 왔으나, 그 요금수준은 여전히 높은 수준에 있다. 이러한 국제모바일로밍서비스 요금수준에 대한 인식이 국제적으로 확산됨에 따라 국제기구 등에서는 로밍요금에 대한 다양한 개선방향 및 정책을 제시하고 있다. EU의 경우 로밍 이용요금 상한선 등에 대한 규제정책을 시행하고 있으며, OECD의 경우 강제적인 규제정책은 가지고 있지 않으나, 높은 로밍 요금 원인분석 및 이러한 요금에 대한 해결책의 회원국에 강구를 요구하고 있다. WTO는 서비스 무역 이사회를 중심으로 국제서비스무역을 저해하는지에 대한 검토를 하고 있으며, ITU에서도 요금에 대한 권고(D.98) 제시를 통하여 문제를 해결하려고 하고 있다. 본고의 목적은 국제모바일로밍서비스에 대한 주요 국제기구의 논의사항을 살펴보고 이를 통한 우리나라가 취할 수 있는 요금인하를 위한 규제정책방향을 제시하는 데 있다.
