First, the trade competitiveness of the textile industries in South Korea has been weakening, whereas, the counterpart in China has been growing as the main export industries. Second, the trade competitiveness of the mechanics industries in South Korea has been increasing and appearing as the new promising strategic export industries. And, the counterpart in China also shows that it has been rising, while the country’s level of the imports specialization index has been weakening. Third, the trade competitiveness of the transportation industries in South Korea has been rising as the export-oriented and at the same time, privileged industries. And, China has also been rising as South Korea has been in the case, whereas, imports specialization index has been weakening. Fourth, the trade competitiveness of the electrical and electronic industries in South Korea has relatively been at the very high level, giving rise to the core export-privileged industries in the South Korea. And, China has been emerging as the new strategic export industries, as its industry structure has been shifted from the import- specialization and export-specialization industries. Fifth, it is indicated that the trade in the both South Korean and Chinese industries of fable materials, mechanics goods for computer & office, and goods for electric mechanics has been going favorable and brisk.

본 연구는 1991-2012년간 동아시아 국가 간 산업별 부품무역의 비교우위를 분석하여, 동아시아 FTA 체결 시 예상되는 무역과 생산분할 구조를 분석한다. 분석기간 중 동아시아 내 부품무역의 상호의존도는 지속적으로 증가하여 왔으며, 동아시아 FAT 체결 시 구조적 변화가 없다면 한국과 일본이 동아시아 내 전기 및 전자기기, 수송기기 부품수출을 더 강화하고, 중국과 ASEAN이 최종재를 수출하는 구조는 유지될 것으로 예상된다.

Although asset price is an important factor in determining changes in external balances, no studies have investigated it from the Chinese perspective. In this study, I empirically examine the underlying driving forces of China's trade balances, particularly the role of asset price and the real exchange rate. To this end, I estimate a sign-restricted structural vector autoregressive model with quarterly time series data for China, using the Bayesian method. The results show that changes in asset price affect China's trade balances through private consumption and investment. Also, an appreciation of the real exchange rate tends to deteriorate trade balances in China. Furthermore, forecast error variance decomposition results indicate that changes in asset price (stock price and housing price) explain about 20% variability of trade balances, while changes in the real exchange rate can explain about 10%.

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is designed to intensify bilateral trade between China and the BRI countries through the improvement of transportation connections. However, little research has empirically investigated the impacts of this policies on the trade patterns. This paper attempts to evaluate the impacts of BRI on the trade patterns of Tanzania. Our study extends the original gravity model of bilateral trade by adding GDP per capita, population and proximity as the explanatory variables. According to our research, we observed that the BRI significantly impacted the Tanzania's trade patterns, as it led to the increase of bilateral trade flow between Tanzania and China more importantly between Tanzania and its adjacent countries. It indicates that the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has boosted Tanzania's trade exclusively, hence the Tanzania's export sector earns greater trading potential with the adjacent countries.

Until now, research on inter-Korean economic cooperation and economic integration has been limited to the areas of the two Koreas. However, Korea is connected with many countries in Asia through the global value chain. Thus, if inter-Korean trade deepens, it may affect the trade structure of neighboring countries. In order to establish a specific inter-Korean economic integration policy when North Korea becomes a normal state in the future, an analysis that reflects the trade structure including Northeast Asia must be preceded. Therefore, in this paper, the impact of inter-Korean trade on Korea, China and Japan was analyzed using the international input and output table containing actual trade data. The scope of analysis was limited to agriculture, reflecting North Korea's demand for economic cooperation. The results show that trade in the agricultural sector between the two Koreas did not have a significant effect of production and value added. but when China and Japan participate in trade with North Korea, the production effect was calculated to be as high as 4 million dollars in Korea and up to 10 million dollars in Japan. And China showed up to 520 million dollars. In addition, the value-added effect was calculated up to $1 million in Korea, up to $4 million in Japan, and up to $250 million in China.

중국은 중국 내 중서부 지역의 풍부한 천연자원과 동부 연안지역의 자본을 연계하여 대륙을 균형적으로 발전시키기 위한 서부대개발 정책을 추진 중이다. 대중국 무역의존도가 높은 우리나라는 국제운송 및 물류체계의 변화에 긴밀하게 대응하기 위해 중국의 교역 규모나 교역패턴 변화를 항상 주시할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 중국의 글로벌 무역노선 재편 및 서부대개발에 따른 우리나라와 중국 성시별 품목별 수출입 규모 변화 추이를 분석하고, 그에 따른 대응방향을 제시하고자 하는 목적에서 중국 성시별 주요 운송경로별, 품목별 한중 간 수출입 규모 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과 중국 서부대개발 움직임에 따라 교역축이 동부 연해지역에서 서부 내륙으로 이전하는 추세를 정량적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 분석과정을 통해 향후 한중 수출입 규모 확대를 위해서 Sea&Air 및 Sea&Rail 등 복합운송체계 마련과 항만-공항 간 연계체계, 신선물류 클러스터 구축의 필요성을 발견할 수 있었다. 또한 한중간 중량화물 및 벌크화물의 수출입 물동량을 확보하기 위해 열차페리나 벌크화물 하역 터미널 시설 구축의 필요성도 확인할 수 있었다.

There is an expanding global network of free trade agreements (FTA). High-quality, comprehensive free trade agreements play an important role to support global trade liberalization and are explicitly allowed under the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules. An FTA is an international treaty that removes barriers to trade and facilitates stronger trade and commercial ties that contribute to increased economic integration between participating countries. Korea benefits from the global FTA trend; however it has started and developed FTA negotiations later than other countries. Current FTA agreements exist with Chile, Singapore, EFTA, ASIAN, India, EU, Peru, USA, Turkey, Australia, and Canada; in addition, there are ongoing negotiations with China, Colombia, New Zealand, and Vietnam. FTA open up opportunities for the textile/clothing industry to expand businesses into key overseas markets. FTA improve market access across all areas of trade to help maintain and stimulate the competitiveness of textile/clothing firms. This study examines the expansion of free trade agreements in light of changes in the international trade environment and the status of the Korean textile/clothing industry. Korea's textile/clothing export/import products and concession of tariff, country of origin covered under Korea-US/China FTA are investigated to identify problems. This study provides practical and policy implications for the textile/clothing industry in regards to the Korea-US/China FTA.

Over the past 20 years, labor standards have been widely used in free trade agreements. The U.S., the European Union and China have all aggressively signed free trade agreements with their trading partners, developing different styles on labor standards. According to the study, the implementation of the KOREa-EU FREE trade agreement has been hampered by ongoing disputes over the terms of the FREE trade agreement and the ILO since the korea-EU free trade agreement was signed. Because in order to break this deadlock, relevant scholars have done a lot of research, but mainly focused on the economic and trade field. Therefore, this paper for the first time systematically studies the substantive focus of disputes over FTA and ILO clauses, and carefully analyzes the domestic law amended by South Korea, and provides suggestions and inspirations for China by drawing lessons from the revision model of South Korea's domestic law. This is from a newperspective: the essence of the korea-EU FTA and ILO disputes is the conflict between international law and domestic law, and the conflict between free trade agreements and human rights protection. It holds that the essence of disputes should be sorted out from the perspective of legal principles and human rights protection, and the free trade and human rights protection should be actively coordinated. In order to make China more actively integrate into the international economy, China should adopt a positive attitude to revise and perfect its own laws, so as to realize the purpose of common development of international trade and human rights protection.

Based on the perspective of international trade and cross-border e-commerce development, this paper explores the impact of cross-border e-commerce on international trade. This paper first describes the current situation of China's cross-border e-commerce and proposes a theoretical model of the influence of China's cross-border e-commerce on its international trade based on the research and summary of a large number of relevant documents. This paper establishes an extended gravity model based on the proposed theoretical model. Relevant data of 13 trading partner countries were used as sample data, and OLS regression analysis and heterogeneity analysis were conducted on gravity model by using Eviews 11.0. Then, in order to study the influence of each variable on import and export trade volume, import and export trade volume were respectively taken as explained variables and further studied by OLS regression analysis. To test the robustness of the model, the empirical analysis results show that cross-border e-commerce does promote the volume of China's international trade.

현재, 지역경제통합의 가장 일반적인 형태는 두 나라 또는 그 이상의 나라들이 쌍무적 형태로 체결하는 자유무역협정(FTA)이다. 2010년 6월 29일 중국과 대만은 중국 충칭(重慶)에서 경제협력기본협정(ECFA)을 체결함에 따라 한 중 FTA 역시 최근 들어 재조명되기 시작했다. 중국은 한국의 제1위의 교역상대국이고, 2010년 5월 기준으로 중국은 한국의 제1위의 수출상대국이며, 한국은 중국의 제2위의 수입대상국이다. 또한 대만은 대(對)중국 교역에 있어서 한국과 교역구조가 비슷하고 경쟁구도를 유지하고 있다. 그렇기에 2010년 6월에 체결한 중 대만 ECFA는 중국과 한국의 교역에 있어서 큰 영향을 미칠 것이며 한국의 국내산업과 중국과의 교역에 치명적 영향을 미칠 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 중국과 대만이 체결한 ECFA의 배경 및 진행과정과 협상의 핵심내용에 대해서 살펴보고, 현재 논의되고 있는 한 중 FTA에 대해서도 그 정파와 예상쟁점 사항을 분석해 보도록 한다. 이를 통해 중 대만 ECFA가 한국의 대(對)중국 교역에 미칠 영향과 한 중 FTA에 시사하는 바를 살펴보는 것이 본고의 목적이라고 할 수 있다.
