In the context of export-oriented growth strategy, Korea has promoted the conclusion of FTAs and 16 FTAs have entered into force or concluded so far. Despite of these efforts, the expansion of the global value chain (GVC) has resulted in fragmentation of production processes and international companies have been struggling to meet the criteria for determining the rule of origin. In order to overcome these difficulties, some foreign FTAs have been introducing cross-cumulation of origin. In this paper, we try to examine empirically whether the easing of the rules of origin using cross-cumulation contributes to the increase in actual value-added exports. we quantify the effects of cross-cumulation included in the EU-Vietnam FTA on Korean exports of the textile through a gravity model using the concept of value-added export. Based on the analysis results, the proportion of value-added exports in Vietnam increased by adoption of cross-cumulation of origin, which consequently resulted into an increase in total exports. This paper tries to draw several implications for the rules of origin in Korea's FTAs including cross-cumulation considering the export value chain of Korea.

This paper provides an assessment of the potential economic impacts of the Vietnam-Korea free trade agreement on Vietnam, by using general equilibrium modeling. The results show that Vietnam-Korea FTA will increase aggregate welfare for both countries in the long run. The most important gains accrue from better allocation of resources consequent to trade liberalization. All the sectoral differences and changes are consistent with the trade profiles of the two countries, and the long-run results are more pronounced than those of the short-run. In comparison with other ASEAN countries, the CGE analysis suggests that Vietnam's agriculture exports to Korea would especially rise in the long run. However, there will be strong competition in this sector among ASEAN members. Thus, an earlier conclusion of a comprehensive FTA with Korea is expected to be a good strategy for Vietnam, so as to avoid the direct competition with ASEAN members in the future.

본 연구는 트럼프 행정부 이후 보호무역이 강화되는 시점에 미국의TPP 탈퇴로 기존 TPP 협정 체결국 중 베트남을 중심으로 한국 통상 정책의 변화와 영향에 대해 연구를 하였다. 한국은 자유무역과 자유경제 시장의 흐름으로 경제 성장과 발전에 많은 성과와 결과물을 이루어냈고 이후에도 통상으로 국력을 더욱 공고히 해야만 한다. 그러나 외부환경은 보호주의로 통상정책을 시행하려는 강대국이 많지만 정량적으로 경제의 기반을 무역에 두고 있어 자유무역주의를 더욱 발전시켜야할 위치에 있는 것이다. 따라서 자유무역주의의 흐름이 계속되고, 세계화가 지속된다면 현재 진행 중이던 TPP가 미국의 탈퇴 이후 한국은 어떤 방향으로 나아갈 수 있을지를 고찰하여 다음과 같은 시사점을 제시하였다. 첫째로 생산비용이 저렴한 국가를 활용한 공급망 구축이다. 둘째로 일본과 대미 수출 경쟁관계에 있는 품목은 GVC를 활용한 경쟁력을 확보하여야 할 것이다. 셋째로 동남아 시장 전초 기지 역할을 할 수 있도록 중간재의 생산과 판매 거점을 확보하는 것 등을 제시하였다. 그리고 본 연구는 문헌 연구를 중심으로 하였다.

Korea-Us FTA negotiation started in February 2006 with a view to overcoming those uncertainties in the global market and was finally concluded in April, 2007. The Agreement was officially signed between ministers two month later and it is expected to be ratified this year even though the process is most likely to be painful in both countries by the political resistances. For the new President of the United States, effective leadership will depends largely on how to encourage domestic industries such as Automobile industry and Iron and Steel industry from the financial crisis. Many trading partners of US worry about US foreign trade policy changes to protectionism that might be unequal to bear. Korea textile industry is one of the major industry in Korea as it occupies 15% of total number of manufacturers, 11% of total employment and 5% of national GDP. Korea-US FTA will provide a breakthrough for bouncing back by exploring new market. US agreed to remove all tariff and non-tariff barriers to 87% of textile items under trading. This study shows that Korean textile industry has been losing it's competitiveness as textile quota system abolished in the year 2005 and has been traced by pursuers such as China, India and Vietnam. In case of woven fabric which was a representing export item of Korea lost price competitiveness against China after 2005. This study seeks the strategy of Korea textile industry in the US market by utilizing the capacity of KOTRA offices in US. All possible statistical data obtained in the US were used for analysing the competitiveness. Fabrics and Garments are analysed independently with a view to finding out real trends of textile market in US. This study also suggest Korea's textile industry strategic ideas obtained from the potential buyers to show the way to penetrate into US market.
