Protection of tropical forest affects on significant reduce of tropical hardwood supply, and softwood resources will be increasingly important for the timber security in Korea. U.S. softwood log was most favorite species for Korean softwood log importers in overall import conditions except price stablization and consistency of export policy. Reduced export volume from Pacific Northwest to Korean market has been immediately replenished by rediata pine from New Zealand and Chilean plantation. Siberian timber will hardly play major roles in Korean timber market unless budding structure. softwood plywood and softwood furniture uses are enhanced. Recent rapid rise of labor cost and reducing tariff rrate in Korea provided better opportunities for import lumber in building materials market. Dry dimension lumber was relatively profitable when processed from import U.S. soft-wood log while green lumber was favorable products processed from radiata pine log in Korean lumber market. This means U.S. softwood lumber would have better opportunity to market for '2${\times}$'4 studs when wood frame housing is introduced. On the other hand while radiata pine is competitive on temporary construction lumber such as supporter and concrete forming frame in Korea. Shortage of raw material for the new capacity of board plants in Korea will be it bottle neck. Major log export countries to Korea as U.S. New Zealand and Chile showed high trade intensity indices of composite hoard produces for Korean market. As Korea efforts to diversify import sources, and tariffs are reduced to 8% as scheduled by 1994. countries of scoring higher comparative advantages as Portugal. Brazil, Austria as well as New Zealand will have better opportunity to penetrate into promised Korean composites hoard market.

This paper is examine the problems of U.S.-Korea Air Service Agreement and recommend some directions for its improvement under the rapidly changing circumstance and growing importance of Korean penisula. Since the provisional agreement of 1949, U.S. -Korea Air Service Agreement has consistently been favorable to U.S. side. Fair and equal opportunity is the principle and basis of the bilateral air agreement. Notwithstanding such principle, it is only the U.S. carriers who can freely enter into any market, under the discretion of business strategy, while Korean carrier can serve only three points including Honolulu. In an effort to recitify such serious imbalance, Korea continuousely requested additional rights and has given utmost efforts to accommodate requests made by U.S. carries without much success. When we review aviation market between Korea and U.S. under the present agreement, Korea is fully open to U.S. carries as they can connect from any or all points in the U.S. via any or all points in Korea and all points beyond Korea. Increased number of U.S. carriers are enjoying greater utilization of the opportunity accorded them. Four(4) U.S. carries now operate to Korea using thirteen(13) gateway points and about one hundred fifty(150) on-line points in the U.S. such imbalance can be well understood when we review the exchange of traffic rights between the U.S. and the Pacific rim countries. During the yeras following the 1978 agreement with Korea, the U.S. proceeded to sign liberal agreements with Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore and the Phillipines. In exchange, the U.S. granted the four Pacific rim countries substantially greater rights than were granted to Korea, although Korea was the first Asian nation to sign a pro-competitive aviation agreement which granted U.S. carriers unrestricted market access and pricing flexibility. Moreover, Korea ranks the 2nd trading and tourist partner to the U.S. among the Pacific rim countries (Japan is the largest partner to the U.S. in terms of both trade and tourist market). In this paper such problems in the Korea-U.S. Air Services Agreement are analyzed in terms of historical perspective, U.S. Aviation policy, imbalance status in detail cases, discrimination to Korea comparing to other Asian countries, and theoretical application. And further it discusses current aviation issues between Korea and U.S. such as the ratification of 1980 MOU and various doing business issues of U.S. carriers in Korea. Finally, this paper concludes the analysis and suggests some directions to improve and rectify the problems and imbalance of U.S.-Korea Air Services Agreement in question.

본 논문은 여러 가지 시계열 분석방법을 이용하여 한국, 중국, 미국의 주식시장 사이의 동조화 현상을 검증하였다. 검정결과는 다음의 세 가지로 요약할 수 있다. 첫째, 아시아 외환 위기나 글로벌 금융위기를 막론하고 세 국가 주식시장 주가지수 간에는 장기적으로 안정적인 관계는 존재하지 않는다. 둘째, 아시아 외환위기 시기에는 중국이 상대적으로 폐쇄적이어서 미국, 한국과 영향을 주고받지 않았으며 한국은 개방의 역사가 오래되어 미국과 영향을 주고받는다. 글로벌 금융위기 기간에는 미국과 중국이 상호영향을 주는 관계로 발전하였으며 미국과 한국은 상호영향을 주고받는 관계가 아시아 위기 때와 마찬가지로 지속된다. 셋째, 아시아 외환위기 기간 동안에 발생한 한국과 중국 사이, 그리고 미국과 중국 사이의 변동성의 역동조화 현상은 이들 시장 사이에 관계가 밀접하지 않은 증거이다. 글로벌 금융위기 기간 동안에도 한국과 미국은 변동성의 영향을 서로 주고받지만 중국과 미국은 서로 영향을 주고받지 않는다. 중국과 한국사이의 변동성의 역동조화현상은 아시아 위기에서와 마찬가지로 여전하다. 즉 글로벌금융 위기 시에는 미국과 중국의 수익률이 서로 영향을 주는 사이로 발전하나 한국과 미국은 아시아 외환위기 시기나 글로벌 금융위기 시기에 서로 수익률과 변동성에 영향을 주는 관계가 계속된다는 점, 그리고 외환 위기나 글로벌 위기에 관계없이 중국과 미국은 변동성이 서로 관계가 없거나 역동조화 현상이 관찰된다는 점에 비추어 볼 때 중국시장은 아시아 외환 위기나 글로벌위기를 통 털어서 아직은 국제금융시장에 편입되는 과정에 있다는 것을 확인 할 수 있다.

This study Investigates the short and long-run dynamic relationships between the domestic and U.S. stock markets for the period of declining stock prices. It Is well known that the domestic stock market variations are largely caused by the U.S. stock market movements. Multivariate causal tty test Is utilized to examine the lead-lag relationships among four stock prices of KOSPI and KOSDAQ In the domestic part and DOWJONES and NASDAQ In the U.S. part. When the stock prices tend to decrease In the long run, It Is found that both KOSPI and KOSDAQ have closer relations with NASDAQ than DOWJONES. When both of domestic stock markets are severely fluctuate, bidirectional causal relationships appear to exist between NASDAQ and each of KOSPI and KOSDAQ. On the other hand. when the domestic stock markets are relatively stable, unidirectional causality Is found to exist between NASDAQ and each of KOSPI and KOSDAQ. which is explicitly validated by the analysis of variance decomposition.

The cosmetic industry is dynamic, ever changing. New product are constantly evolved, old and obsolete products are replaced as the industry adopts to an ever changing market. Cosmetics are products 1the society. They often reflect the changing needs, values, and the lifestyles of the people and serve as an indicator of the political climate and economic state of a nation. Thus, it is likely the recent change in 11head of the U.S. government will strongly impact the cosmetic industry. The United States is the world`s largest market for cosmetics and toiletries, Many U.S. cosmetic and toiletry manufacturers, such as P & G, Colgate, Avon, Revlon and Estee Lauder, market their Products worldwide. Consequently, what happens in the U.S. often, sooner or later, affect markets and industries in other parts of the world. Frequently, changes that occur first in the U.S. with subsequently take place in other nations within a few years. The success and failure of the new economic policies of the Clinton Administration and the expected tightening of government regulations on environmental protection, and consumer protection will undoubtedly affect the industry. Possible changes in foreign policy will not only affect U.S. companies but also cosmetic manufacturers in other nations. This lecture will focus on possible changes in the cosmetic industry in America and how they will impact on Korea and foreign companies doing business in United States. It will also review important changes in federal and state regulations. New marketing trends, new raw materials and successful new products will be discussed.

Purpose - The aim of this work is to study the reorientation that the export industrial sectors in Costa Rica have experienced during the last 20 years. Research design, data, methodology - The study employs the Cluster Analysis with the export data (20 years of cut-off period) from Costa Rica to the U.S-market. To make the predictions, the technique of the time series was used, with official data (from 2001 to 2010) from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission. Results - The Cluster Analysis, show how the economic sectors of traditional products exports of Costa Rica have progressively become in exporters of non-traditional products, meanwhile,the time series confirms that this trend will continue, at least during the next five years. Conclusions - The industry of traditional products exports of Costa Rica (dressmaking, vegetables, coffee, mate, species, etc.) will progressively become in exporters of non- traditional products with a high-tech component (i.e., mechanical equipment and devices, electronic devices and medical equipment),as a consequence of the Chinese (Costa Rica's main competitor) economy's presence in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OCDE). This fact has enabled the potential improvement of Costa Rica's international competitiveness in the U.S. market.

This study examines the effect of managerial ownership on firm value in capital markets where outside governance mechanisms to discipline managers are weak or non-existent. We hypothesize that strong market forces in the U.S. confound the effect of managerial ownership on firm value, i.e., the convergence of interest argument. We test the hypothesis using data from 112 firms from Singapore Stock Exchange and 205 firms from the Stock Exchange of Thailand prior to the Asian financial crisis in 1997 when the market forces were weak, yet the investor protection was sufficient to prevent outright appropriation from management. For ease of comparison, we use methodologies from studies done on the U.S. sample firms during the same study period as ours. We find that, both in Singapore and Thailand, firm value is a function of managerial ownership, and the relation is of the famous inverted U-shaped. Moreover, the relation is robust under different model specifications. The results from Thai sample, with weaker market forces than in Singapore, lend support to many agency cost hypotheses advanced in the U.S. Our results provide useful implication for investors in emerging and frontier markets where outside governance mechanisms are yet to be fully developed.

유비쿼터스 환경에 기반한 시장, 즉 U-마켓에서는 고객이 제품을 구매함과 동시에 고객의 정보가 u-마켓 서버시스템에 저장되어 인터넷 쇼핑몰과 같이 다양한 분석과 활용이 가능하게 되었다. 물리적인 공간과 가상 공간이 결합된 유비쿼터스 기반의 시장 환경에서는 고객이 오프라인에서 다양한 매장을 방문하면서 쇼핑을 하게 되는데, 이때 여러 매장에 동일한 제품이 동시에 존재할 수 있으므로 매장의 위치, 매장 분위기, 제품의 품질이나 가격 등에 대한 고객의 선호도를 반영하여 고객 개개인에게 적절한 매장을 추천해야 할 필요성이 제기된다. 본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 환경에 기반한 시장에서 고객의 쇼핑 상황을 고려하여 고객의 선호를 반영할 수 있는 매장 추천방법을 제안한다. 제안한 매장 추천방법은 협업 필터링과, Apriori 알고리즘을 기반으로 구성되어 있다. 온라인 쇼핑몰과는 다르게 U-마켓에서는 고객 개개인의 구매목록과 고객의 선호도를 반영한 매장 추천이 필요하며, 본 논문에서 제안하고 있는 매장 추천방법은 고객의 쇼핑경험을 극대화 하고 쇼핑 효율성을 제고시킬 뿐 아니라 장기적인 관점에서 매출증대를 통해 U-마켓 활성화에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
