This paper empirically investigates the effects of import tariff on within-plant productivity growth in Korean manufacturing, using the detailed plant-level longitudinal data of the Korea Census of Manufacturers for the period of 1993-2003. Our main findings are as follows: First, the productivity changes of Korean manufacturing for the period under analysis were mostly induced by within-plant productivity gains, rather than within-industry and/or between-industry resource reallocations. Second, after controlling for firm-specific heterogeneity, the estimation results indicate that lowering tariff-barriers has a positive impact on within-plant TFP growth. We interpret the results in a way that trade liberalization through the removal of tariff and non-tariff barriers heightens the competitive pressure, which in turn creates incentives to reduce production and managerial inefficiency and to invest more on innovative activities. Third, we also find that plant productivity growth from reducing tariff barriers is particularly conspicuous within a year after tariff changes, which implies that plants are quickly adjusting to heightened import competition. On the other hand, our results show that the trade effect on employment creation proceeds relatively slow.

2004년, 말 많았던 인쇄용지 무관세 시대가 드디어 도래했다. 그러나 엄밀히 말하자면, 이미 1996년부터 단계적으로 관세가 인하돼 왔고, 2003년에 부과된 관세율도 2.5%에 불과했기 때문에 실질적으로 올해의 관세하락 효과는 2.5%라고 할 수 있다. 이런 이유에서 용지무관세 시대의 도래가 제지업계에 큰 파장을 줄 것이라고는 예상되지 않지만 업계 경쟁을 부추기는 새로운 단초로 작용할 것이라는 점도 부인할 수 없는 사실이다.

한, 칠 FTA에서는 원산지가 칠레 또는 우리나라로 인정되는 물품에 대해서만 FTA특혜관세가 적용된다. 즉, 원산지의 인정범위에 따라 적용세율이 달라지므로 원산지규정은 특혜관세의 적용과 우회수입 여부를 판단하는데 핵심적인 과세 요건중의 하나라고 할 수 있다.<중략>

Currently, the adoption of FTZ(Free Trade Zone) has been recognized as one of the most important strategies for becoming hub port in the world. For this reason, various policies for successful implementation and adoption of FTZ have been presented, and a special law related this FTZ was actually built in 1999. In the mean time, a port logistics industry is deeply related to the successful implementation of FTZ. However, although many research about FTZ have been conducted, there have been little previous studies about port logistics firms and FTZ. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate a market structure of firms related to Port Logistics effectively and to analyze the perception of these firms about FTZ in Busan.
