This study aims to analyze the export effects of Korea-Canada FTA's tariff reduction, which was launched on January 1, 2015. First, as a groundwork, this study reviewed trade creation and trade diversion by investigating all possible cases of both initial FTA and additional FTA. The review was done by using the simple model of three countries assuming FTA means elimination of tariff. The review suggested that additional FTA doesn't have any negative impact on import country's social welfare contrary to initial FTA. In additional FTA, Trade diversion could happen between FTA partner countries, but it always increases import country's social welfare. In this sense, it can be called favorable trade diversion. Second, this study analyzed the export effects of Korea-Canada FTA using Clausing's product level model based on Canadian government import data from Korea which is not open to the public. It turned out that Korea-Canada FTA's tariff reduction boosted Canadian import growth rate from Korea. On the other hand, Canadian import growth rate from rest of the world was not negatively affected by Korea-Canada FTA's tariff reduction. Rather, it increased as Canadian import growth rate from Korea was higher. These findings implied trade creation rather than trade diversion of Korea-Canada FTA when it comes to Korea's export to Canada.

Today, the world is considered to indispensable basic data in specific gravity of international trade is increasing in economic activity of every country with globalization, and trade connection index number analyzes an economy or part of trade that contribute to economic growth of a country along with other foreign trade statistics and evaluates along with this. Also, it is becoming one of big subject for economic policy person in charge and related economists I do how measure movement of amount, price and amount of materials in trade. But, about till now interest lack about trade index and trade index creation theoretical, it is actuality that export, import connection index number or similar research is not attained much into domestic and overseas from study tribe which is gone ahead. Moreover, study that try to judge and forecast stream of market applying trade connection index number is hard to find on study until now. And, in this research, there is the objective to figure out stream of Korean market change through trade business index creation that base on Korea Customs Administration export and the importation data and this is differences with several study, and at the same time, it is value of this study.

The purpose of this study is to analyze causation of Ecosystem service's trade-off(ES trade-off) and to establish baseline data for wise spatial planning and management. In order to understand why and how ES trade-off occurs, systems thinking and causal loops were employed. The causal loop of ecosystem service creation cycle includes profits quantification process, decision making process, spatial planning and management process, and ecosystem services creation process. The profits quantification process has a limitation that all ecosystem service categories were not included in profits quantification, because quantification method for cultural services is insufficient. These problems led to unequal discussion opportunity in decision making process. ES trade-off occurs through transition of ecosystem function in spatial scale and temporal scale. In spatial scale, land-use variation and resource-use variation contribute to change an ecosystem function for different ES category by spatial planning and management. In temporal scale, a change of an ecosystem function for different ES category is influenced by ecological succession, seasonal change and land cover variation, which are parameter from environmental features. This study presented that spatial planning and management should ecosystem service assessment in order to enhance balanced ecosystem services.

Purpose - The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum has evolved and is actively facilitating free and open trade. It is debated whether APEC has effectively reduced trade barriers in a preferential manner to encourage liberalized trade and whether increased trade between member countries has reduced trade with nonmember countries. Research designs, data, methodology -This paper empirically tests whether APEC creates or diverts trade, using an extended gravity model with tariff rates, exchange rates, and dummy variables to analyze how APEC affects intra-trade between members.The model utilizes the annual panel data between 1990 and 2007 of 16 selected APEC members and nonmembers. Results - Results reveal the changing role of APEC only between 2002 and 2007 has it created trade, fostering increased trade among trading partners and between members and nonmembers. Conclusion - APEC can be expected to demonstrate a stronger trade creating effect once its advanced and developing members complete tariff reductions by 2010 and 2020, respectively.

현재 세계경제는 EU, NAFTA라는 거대 지역블럭의 출현으로 지역경제통합체를 통한 국제경제 질서가 재편되고 있다. 이러한 세계 경제의 혁신적 변화인 지역경제통합을 최초로 시도한 곳은 유럽으로서 현재 경제적 통합을 넘어 단일 헌법을 통한 정치적 통합까지 추진하고 있다. 유럽의 지역경제통합은 최초의 지역통합체적 성격을 가진 유럽석탄 철강 공동체(ECSC)를 시작으로 전후 경제 발전과 평화정착을 목표로 하나의 단일 유럽경제권 창설을 추진하였다. 그리고 유럽경제공동체(EEC), 유럽공동체(EC)를 거쳐 완전한 유럽통합을 추구하는 유럽연합(EU)을 통해 세계 최대경제권으로 발전해 나가고 있다. 2001년 니스조약 이후 EU의 외연 확대정책에 따라 중 동유럽국들의 대대적인 EU가입이 이루어져 현재 회원국의 수는 27개국으로 크게 늘어났다. 이런 상황에서 중력모형을 이론적 근거로 하여 임의효과모형과 고정효과모형을 통해 중 동유럽국들이 EU에 가입함에 따른 무역창출효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 중 동유럽국들이 EU 회원국이 됨으로써 기존의 EU회원국들과 중 동 유럽국들 간 그리고 신규 회원국인 중 동 유럽국들 사이에 27.4%의 무역창출효과가 유발되는 것으로 고정효과모형을 통해 추정되었다.

This paper evaluates whether the proposed FTAAP is a desirable policy option for APEC member economies and the world economy. More specifically, this paper qualitatively investigates whether the FTAAP satisfies conditions for a trade bloc to generate positive and sufficient net trade creation effect. In addition, this paper estimates the likely impact of the FTAAP by using a CGE model analysis. From the qualitative analysis based on statistical data, this paper strongly argues that the FTAAP can be a desirable regional trade bloc able to generate positive gains from freer trade. From the ex-ante scenario analysis using both static and capital accumulation CGE Models, this paper concludes that the FTAAP has great potential for improving welfare of participating APEC economies and will boost economic growth in the region. In particular, the FTAAP would be even better if it can be linked with liberalization of trade in services and enhanced trade facilitation.

Purpose - Offshoring has emerged as one of the major trends in international trade and has become one of the strategies for achieving competitiveness in the global market. In spite of this, the expected gains of offshoring can be offset by hidden costs and risks, such as those associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the trade war between the USA and China, and the ongoing trade dispute between Korea and Japan. To obviate such business failure and prevent critical business blunders, offshoring strategies that efficiently consider both risk elements and potential wealth creation are urgently need. The first purpose of this study is to contribute to the development of more advanced offshoring strategies to help host countries select the best locations to manage supply chain risks and create unique value. The second purpose is to specifically analyze the current status of Korea and provide Korean companies with implications to be considered when deciding whether to offshore or re-shore. Design/methodology - A Network DEA model was applied to measure the comparative location efficiency of national competencies for offshoring strategy from perspectives of wealth creation opportunities (profitability and marketability) and supply chain risk management. The location efficiencies are compared among a total 70 countries selected from the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) and globally attractive locations outlined by Kearney (2017). For the secondary analysis of efficiency, a t-test examining the nature of competitive advantage and the level of sophistication in production processes was implemented in three divisions. We then analyzed differences in offshoring performance in terms of the identified national traits. Moreover, Tobit regression analysis is conducted to investigate the correlation between value-added business activities and each divisional efficiency, seeking to determine how each degree of value-added business activity influences the increase in offshoring productivity. Findings - Regarding overall location efficiency for offshoring performance, only the USA and Italy were identified as being efficient as host countries for offshoring, under circumstances of advanced development, such as productivity and risk management. Korea ranks 13th among 70 countries. The determinants of national competitiveness depend on national traits (the nature of competitive advantage and business sophistication). Countries with labor/resource advantages and labor-intensive industries are more competitive in terms of marketability than others. In contrast, countries with strong technology-intensive industries benefit offshoring companies, particularly in the technology sector, with the added advantage of supply chain risk management. As the perception of a value chain is broader in a country, it can achieve both production sophistication and competitive advantages such as marketability and SCRM. Originality/value - Existing studies focus on offshoring effectiveness from a company perspective. This paper contributes to comparing country efficiency in producing core competencies related to an offshoring strategy and also segments countries into three performance-based considerations associated with the global offshoring market. It also details Korea's position as an offshoring location according to national efficiency and competency.

The purpose of this paper is to review the trend and roadmap of standardization for e-Trade. As a survival strategy in this rapidly changing global competition environment, domestic and global e-Trade network should be harmonized and interconnected, which requires multilateral or regional cooperation to set relevant inter-operable infrastructure. For this, standardization for e-Trade message and communication is critical success factor. Korea has been an early adopter of international e-Trade standards like UN/EDIFACT and ebXML. Based on the overall knowledge and experiences of e-Trade projects, Korea can take initiatives in the creation of global e-Trade through the harmonization and interconnection of other countries.

국제경영분야에서 가장 큰 중심화두가 되는 다국적기업의 성공과 실패에 있어서 해외자회사의 지식창출과 이전에 관한 문제는 다국적기업의 성공과 실패에 영향을 주는 가장 중요한 결정요인이다. 이로 인해 다국적 기업의 경우 글로벌 네트워크에 속해 있는 해외자회사들의 차별적 역할과 역량에 따라 글로벌 경쟁역량이 좌우되기 때문에 새로운 지식을 창출하고 이를 기업 내에 확산하는데 있어서 해외자회사의 전략적 역할을 인식하지 못하거나, 초우량센터를 발굴하고 육성하지 못하는 기업은 글로벌 경쟁에서 성공할 수 없을 것이다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 다음과 같은 두 가지 연구목적을 달성하고자 한다. 첫째는 해외자회사를 지식창출의 중심점으로 발전시키는데 있어서, 지식창출역량에 영향을 주는 핵심요인을 도출하는 것이고, 둘째는, 이들 핵심요인을 강화하는 전략과 성공요건을 제시하는 것이다. 기존 연구에 비해 본 연구는 해외자회사의 역할을 지식창출의 관점에서 본사와 다른 네트워크 주체와의 관계, 현지국의 환경, 자회사의 조직구조와 역량이라는 관점에서 해외자회사가 탁월성의 거점이 될 수 있는 전략적 관점을 통해 실무적 시사점을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
