본 연구는 중앙아시아국가들과 대구·경북 지역의 무역활성화를 위한 방안을 제시하기 위함을 목적으로 한다. 새로운 신흥 시장으로 성장하고 있는 중앙아시아지역과 현재의 교역 현황을 분석하였다. 또한 중력모형분석을 통하여 중앙아시아 지역의 국제화가 교역량 증가에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 사실을 입증하였다. 이를 바탕으로 교역활성화를 위한 국가적 정책 수립과 민간차원에서 접근해야할 방법에 대하여 제시하였다. 또한 대구·경북 지역의 교역 활성화를 위해 지역차원에서 이루어져야 할 해결책에 대하여 논의하였다.

2000년 이후 국제유가의 불안정성으로 인한 에너지 자원 확보의 중요성이 강조되면서 에너지 자원의 대안 시장으로 카스피해 연안국가들에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 특히 아제르바이잔은 중앙아시아 신흥석유 수출국으로서 해외자본의 유입, BTC 송유관 개통 등으로 인해 급속한 경제성장을 이루었다. 그러나 높은 경제성장에도 불구하고 경제구조가 에너지 산업에 집중되는 등 경제구조의 불균형을 보이고 있으며, 최근 실질환율 상승의 압박 및 인플레이션이 가속화되고 있다. 아제르바이잔 경제의 지속가능성을 파악하기 위해 본 연구에서는 분석대상기간을 2001년 1월부터 2007년 12월까지의 전체 표본기간, BTC 개통을 기점으로 BTC 개통 이전과 이후의 기간 등 세 단계로 구분하였으며, 벡터오차수정모형을 이용하여 분석을 시도하였다. 실증분석 결과, 아제르바이잔은 분석기간 동안 경기침체 증상을 보였으며, 이는 고유가의 영향과 BTC 송유관 개통으로 인한 수출의 급증이 아제르바이잔 실질환율을 하락(평가절상)시키는 주원인임을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 장기적인 경제발전의 기반이 될 제조업의 경쟁력에 부정적 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다.

Purpose - This study investigates the lead-lag relations between the prices of major commodities imported into Korea and corresponding shipping freight rates. This paper aims to provide implications for cross-market causal relations between related economic segments. Design/Methodology - For economic long-run equilibrium between commodity prices and freights, a Johansen (1988) cointegration test is employed first. Then, Granger (1987) causality tests are performed under the vector error correction model (VECM) framework. Findings - The results indicate that the direction of causality varies by raw materials, which is attributable to different economic mechanisms in the corresponding shipping transportation sectors. In addition, the significance of causality becomes blurred during the post-2008 period. Practical Implication - Corporate managers in commodity trading, steelmaking, power generation, and oil refinery sectors can take advantage of the findings in this study as identifying leading economic indicators can be helpful for decision making in both short- and long-term strategies. Originality/value - This study is the first attempt to analyze the inter-relations between commodity prices and corresponding freight rates focusing on raw material imports of Korea.

This paper reviews and analyzes the ethical issues of multinational corporations (MNCs) in Africa. First, we find that the transparency and institutions of a host country have a negative relationship with the number of ethical violations of the MNCs. Second, this covers the effects of industry characteristics on each category of ethical issues such as the human rights and the environment. Based on the database of "Ethical Consumer", we show that the Auto, Chemical, Finance, and Telecommunication industries are more likely to violate human rights issues, and that Mining, Oil, Cosmetics, and Chemical industries are more likely to pollute the environments. Further, the country of origin does matter: the US and Asian companies are more likely to be involved with the business ethics violations than are their European counterparts.

Objectives: It has been pointed out that there are problems in handling and managing chemicals due to trade secrets of Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS). To date, some company intentionally leave out of several parts and use an inaccurate expression in MSDS. In particular, with the result of the inspection of the government and labour community, it is required that the 2nd section in MSDS included the composition and information on ingredients has to be provided with comprehensive expression to secure more reliability. Methods: Therefore, this study is aimed: 1) to recognize the current status of trade secrets of MSDS in workplaces with both domestic manufacturers of chemical products and multinational corporations; 2) to make contributions to prevention of the industrial accidents by providing the accurate information of MSDS; 3) to improve the risk communication system related with chemicals; 4) to impress workers on the importance of right of known for MSDS. With the result we analyzed the status of trade secrets in MSDS in 73 companies, such as petrochemistry production, paint production, metal processing oil production, detergent production, and international company related with chemicals, we have found that 38,150 (45.5%) have the trade secrets parts in the total number of 83,832 in MSDS. Also, based on the 288 MSDS gathered by the Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute (OSHRI) from 2005 to 2009, 41.7% of the MSDS are classified into the trade secrets. Conclusions: Therefore, to procure an assurance system of MSDS, we suggest that a MSDS picking up and checking system be legislated in the Occupational Safety and Health Act to protect workers from the unidentified chemical hazards due to the secret trade of MSDS.

본 논문은 농업부문 에너지 기본정책으로 시행되고 있는 정부의 면세유 공급정책의 경제적 파급효과를 측정한 내용을 담고 있다. 1986년부터 농가의 영농활동 지원을 위해 시행되어온 면세유 공급정책은 최근 국제유가가 급등함에 따라 확대 공급에 대한 농가의 요구가 높아지고 있는 상황이다. 그러나 면세유의 공급량이 최근 지속해서 감소하고 있고, 더욱이 산업통상자원부는 면세유 일몰정책의 추진을 지속해서 요구하고 있는 실정이다. 이와 같이, 정부의 농업부문 면세유 공급정책에 대한 확대 및 축소의 상반된 요구가 고조되고 있는 상황에서, 면세유 공급의 경제적 효과를 파악하여, 농업용 면세유의 경제적 기여도와 역할을 규명할 필요가 있다. 이 연구는 계량경제학적 방법을 이용하여 면세유 공급의 경제적 효과를 계측한 과정과 결과를 소개하고 있다. 분석결과, 농업용 면세유가 5년에 걸쳐 단계적으로 철폐되는 경우, 5년차 되는 해에 농업부문 GDP는 3조 1,950억원 감소하고, 농산물 가격은 26.6 포인트 상승하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문은 한 중 FTA로 농수산업의 피해가 가장 클 것으로 예상되는 전남의 농수산업에 대해 무역경쟁력을 분석하고 경쟁력 강화 방안을 제시하였다. 무역경쟁력 분석 결과 채소와 과일류에서는 수출특화, 식품가공품에서는 수입특화가 이루어지고 있었다. 중국 수입시장에서 전남의 해조류, 과실 견과류, 효모 등이 경쟁력 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전남의 대부분의 농수산업 품목에서 고품질 상품을 수출하고 저품질 상품을 수입하는 고품질 산업내 무역이 이루어지고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 분석결과를 바탕으로 농업부문과 수산업부문의 생산체제의 혁신, 유통현대화, 부가가치 극대화, 한 중 간 협력 체계 구축 측면에서 경쟁력 강화 방안을 제시하였다.

Environmental problems such as global climate change, depletion, ocean and air pollution, and resource degradation-compounded by an expanding world population-respect no border and threaten the health, prosperity and jobs of all mankind. Our efforts to promote democracy, free trade, and stability in the world will fall short unless people have a livable environment. We have an enormous stake in the management of the world's resources. By increasing demand for timber, natural gas, coal and consumer's goods have destroyed the grounds for living. Greenhouse gas emissions anywhere in the world have threatened coastal communities, and then changed the Earth's climate system. The burning of coal, oil, and other fossil fuels is increasing substantially the concentration of heat-trapping gasses such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in our air. The earth's temperature and sea levels are rising as a result. Since 1972 there has been a marked growth in the number and scope of environmental treaties. In particular, after the 1992 Rio Conference, international legal instruments became more concentrated on addressing environment within the context of sustainable development and incorporated a number of new concepts and innovative approaches. A preliminary analysis of recent conventions and in particular those associated with the Rio Conference indicates various ideas, concepts and principles which have come to the fore including sustainable development, equity, common concern of humankind, common but differentiated responsibilities and global partnership. However, international trade also has an environmental impact which must be minimized or countered. Positive measures are to be preferred to achieve environmental goals, but where trade provisions are necessary, they should be appropriately used within environmental conventions to facilitate the reduction and limitation of the negative impacts of trade and to enhance the complementarity of the multilateral trade regime with the imperatives of environmental protection, in the interests of environmental protection and sustainable development generally. The international community has to recognize and endorse this need to achieve complementarity between trade and environment issues.

This study empirically analyzes the patterns of import and export of air cargo between Korea and EU member states. In order to understand the detailed characteristics of the air transport sector, the amount of trade was analyzed by dividing it into exports, imports, and trades. As a result of the analysis, in terms of exports, imports, and trade, both EU member states' GDP per capita and Korea's GDP showed positive directions, while EU member states' GDP and Korea's per capita GDP both showed negative directions. In addition, international oil prices and exchange rates, which were expected to have an effect on aviation trade, did not show significant results in this study. On the other hand, when applying the fixed-effect model, both the country area and the number of airports excluded from the analysis were analyzed as positive directions as a result of the Houseman Taylor analysis.
