This paper analyzes the dynamics and nature of regional business cycle synchronization for East Asian countries in the period of 2000:Q1-2011:Q4. Estimating a dynamic two-factor model extracts the common factor and the nation-specific factor from both the macroeconomic aggregates and plausible driving forces of regional business cycles. Evidence for regional business cycle synchronization is particularly strong for Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines, while Japan shows weak evidence of regional synchronization. On the other hand, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and China are decoupling from regional business cycles. The driver of monetary aggregate is the most significant determinant of regional fluctuations of macroeconomic aggregates, whereas oil price and productivity are on average important driving forces of nation-specific fluctuations of real economic activities.

In this paper, we estimated the economic impacts of Korea-EU FTA on the agricultural sector in GyeongGi-Do. In particular, we estimated the economic impacts of agricultural production decrease resulting from Korea-EU FTA for 31 sub-regions in GyeongGi-Do by 15 industrial sectors. We employ a regional economic impact model combining a regional input-output model with a spatial allocation model. We found that the size of inter-industrial impacts are quite different across regions. Our results suggest the importance of agricultural and industrial policy considering the impacts of industrial sectors at the regional level.

The core of the foreign policy of the Yoon Suk-yeol government is the promotion of active economic and security diplomacy as indicated in Policy Tasks No. 98. To this end, economic consultative bodies such as Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement(RCEP), Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), and Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) are taking the initiative to respond to the formation of supply chain, human rights, environment, and digital-related norms, and actively support Korean companies' overseas expansion. Due to the nature of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF) as an organization established centered on the space of the ocean, the MOF faces difficulties in bringing the functions of other ministries into the space of the ocean. Considering the vision, objectives, and detailed plans of the MOF, the contribution of the MOF in the field of active economic security, one of the main foreign policies of the Yoon Suk-yeol government, is perhaps too obvious. However, since the re-launch of the MOF, the ODA budget for the oceans and fisheries sector is too small compared to other ministries, so even if new policy demands are discovered, there are many difficulties in implementing these policies in practice. Recognizing these problems, this paper examines the background and contents of foreign policies that have been promoted for the efficient promotion of RCEP, CPTPP and IPEF and introduces the areas of cooperation in the oceans and fisheries sector in these foreign policies.

This article examines the link between regional disparity and social mobility in India. There has been a steady rise in economic inequality in India. The rapid economic growth coupled with a rise in income inequality is a serious concern in India. While the emphasis is on inclusive growth, it appears difficult to tackle the problem without looking at the intricacies of the problem. The Social Mobility Index is an important tool that focuses on bringing long-term equality by identifying priority policy areas in the country. We used a multivariate statistical approach to construct a social mobility index at the regional level by considering several social and economic variables. Our findings show that while the Union Territory of Delhi ranks first in the social mobility index, Chhattisgarh has the least social mobility. From a policy perspective, a comprehensive examination of the determinants of the social mobility index shows that health, education access, and quality, and equity of education are of great importance in improving social mobility. Considering India's potential economic growth resulting from its 'demographic dividend' and improved access, markets, and technology, increasing social mobility through facilitating equal opportunities in society is key to achieving inclusive growth.

Balassian Approach of regional economic integration has been mainly aimed at improving conditions for regional trade since 1960s. After the financial crises of the late 1990s, however, the theoretical approach to regional integration will have to be a different one as regionalism have to offer enhanced protection against crises. The aim of this paper, above all, is to provide a theoretical framework for the emerging new monetary regionalism. Regions that wish to strengthen their co-operation in monetary and financial affairs today have the option of monetary regionalism without trade agreement. East Asian region will become an increasingly important domain within which to explore enhanced protection against financial crises. And as Korea seems to play a crucial role in building regional integration among ASEAN＋3(Korea, China and Japan) countries, alternative policy for Korean economy to be the North-east Asian Economic Base need to be schemed on the basis of Balassian as well as monetary regionalism.

The regional economic crises in the late 1990s and the global economic crisis in the late 2000s had reduced the differences in housing policies among the major Asian economies. This paper attempts to explain and compare housing welfare policy shifts between subsidizing home owning and subsidized renting from the perspectives of the economic and social roles of housing, the lock-in effect of policy processes, and the welfare provision strategy of the East Asian economies. It argues that the impact of economic crises on housing welfare policy in East Asia depended on the duration and the intensity of the crisis and the length and severity of the subsequent economic depression. Another important factor was the role of housing in the economic and social development, especially whether housing market development was considered as an engine of economic growth or revival, and whether the tools of housing policy caused the economic crisis. The loss of impetus for home ownership drive and the new emphasis on rental subsidy provision are new policy trends. Nonetheless, the economic revival since mid-2009 has caused the re-introduction of home ownership subsidies for quenching the housing affordability problems and enhancing home ownership making use of the strong economic conditions.

This study investigated structural changes of the Korea's agriculture and proposed the new direction of rural and agricultural policy in Korea after economic opening. The major results may be summarized as follows: Firstly, the study identified structural changes of the country's peasantry under the economic opening system. Korean agriculture has been deteriorated in population structure, arable land size, and income composition. Secondly, according to above analysis on these changes it suggested that the traditional rural communities were exposed to collapse and this unwanted disaster could result in serious adversities to the national economy. Thirdly, this study proposed preservation policies for small scale farming households and also administrative preparations of multi-dimensional approaches leading to successful rural and agricultural planning.

캐나다의 지역혁신지원정책의 핵심은, 연방정부는 전략적 연구분야와 목표에 대한 우선순위를 결정하고, 연구자로 하여금 연구네트워크를 형성하게 지원하는 것이다. 이 글에서는 캐나다 지역경제의 발전의 기반이 되는 분권적이고 시장지향적인 지역혁신지원체제 형성과 지역내/지역간 네트워킹형성의 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 캐나다 혁신클러스터의 특성인 학습(Learning), 노동력(Labour), 입지(Location), 리더십(Leadership), 공공부문의 역할(Legislation/ Labs)을 분석하였다. 마지막으로, 중앙집중적이고 시장기제에 적극적으로 개입하는 한국의 지역혁신지원체제의 개선방안에 대한 시사점을 도출하였다.

새로운 지역발전 패러다임으로 지역단위가 세계시장의 경쟁에 참여하고 있으며, 지역의 중요성이 더욱 중요시되고 있다. 이러한 과정에서 주변부 지역에서는 지역의 경쟁력을 이끌 수 있는 수단으로 지역자원을 이용한 산업의 발굴 및 이용에 주목하고 있다. 지역자원기반산업은 지역의 내생적 발전을 이끄는 중요한 기제이다. 본 연구는 주변부지역의 지역발전정책에의 함의를 도출하기 위하여 지역자원기반산업의 산업집적지 형성과정 및 발전과정을 살펴보았다. 지역자원기반산업의 산업집적지 형성과정을 고찰하고, 성공요인을 밝히는 것은 산업역동성의 근본적인 토대를 이해하는 데 중요하다. 본 연구의 3장에서는 지역자원기반산업이 형성하는 배경 및 성공 프로세스를 역사적 접근방법으로 살펴보고, 4장에서는 사례연구에서 나타난 지역자원기반산업의 성공요인을 도출하고, 5장에서는 앞의 연구를 요약하고 지역발전정책수립시에 활용할 수 있는 정책적 시사점을 제시하였다.

연구에서는 지역혁신역량의 주요 요인을 추출하고, 이러한 요인들이 지역경제의 활성화를 반영하는 지표들에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하였다. 요인분석결과, 지역혁신역량의 요인은 혁신자원/투입요인(제1요인), 혁신환경/인프라요인(제2요인), 협력/연계요인(제3요인)으로 구분되었다. 3개 요인들의 요인점수와 지역 경제 활성화에 관한 지표(신설법인, 취업자 수)를 이용하여 패널 모형을 구축한 결과, 혁신역량 요인들은 모두 양(+)의 유의미한 값을 보였다. 또한 해당 지역경제 활성화에 대한 지표들은 혁신투입요인, 협력요인, 혁신인프라요인 순으로 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다.
