The recent analyses of carbon emissions embodied in international trade are related with discussions on who is responsible for the carbon emissions causing global warming. Some authors insist that the countries importing carbon-intensive goods should share the responsibility with the suppliers of those goods. In order to determine which countries are net importers of carbon dioxide embodied in traded goods, we need to construct the multi-regional input-output (MRIO) model incorporating national input-output tables and data on bilateral trades. The paper calculates consumption-based as well as production-based inventories by using MRIO model whose global database is GTAP version 8 to get the picture of carbon footprints in international trades of Korea and other regions in the world.

세계무역기구 출범으로 글로벌 시장 경제체계가 형성되고 무역사 기술장벽은 더욱 심화됨에 따라 세계무역기구는 2005년까지 선진국의 각 국가규격을 국제규격과 서로 꼭 같도록 요구하고 있다. 이에 따라 우리 정부도 국가규격인 KS 규격을 2003년까지 국제표준화기구 규격과 완전 일치시킨다는 목표로 대대적인 사업을 추진하고 있다.

International factoring is necessary for small & medium export companies because using documentary credit has been declined and credit transaction has increased. In Korea, however, only EXIM bank supports the factoring service, apart from foreign banks. Even though the amount of international factoring has increased in Korea, factoring service is at a standstill, compared to its trade volume. Perhaps there are a few reasons but the biggest reason for the indifference to the factoring service is a lack of understanding and inadequate legal system in Korea. This paper aims to compare factoring service in Korea with that of China and Japan. And it also suggests the improvement of problems to the factoring service by analysing the examples of business practice.

This paper investigates how blockchain technology which is an innovation technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution has been settled in international trade. FinTech technology is expected to expand because a new remittance method for replacing the letter of credit has been introduced. In addition, since the purchase of individual customers makes international trade increase rapidly, more convenient FinTech technology will stand in a spotlight. Thus, we confirm that cryptocurrency use will increase in order to maintain stability and reduce risk in international transactions. However, since the legal standing of blockchain technology is now insufficient, the slow spread of FinTech technology will be made for a while.

Today, due to the serviceization of the economy, volume and position Global trade in Services have gradually increased. Stable and fair trade can be achieved through solid international trade law. Multilateral discussions on service trade agreement have been stagnant, but have recently shown considerable outcome. Service trade agreement(GATS) deal with various service trade barriers in member countries that hinder free trade in services. Recently, a group of WTO members have established the 「Joint Initiative on Services Domestic Regulation」. The agreement aims to ensure that licensing and qualification requirements and procedures, as well as technical standards do not constitute unnecessary barriers to services trade. This study is to understand the type and statistics of service trade barriers that affect actual service transactions. At the same time, It aims to examine the progress of discussions on multilateral service trade agreement for resolving service trade barriers.

Due to the recent development of information and communication technology, interest in smart work is increasing globally. Smart work is a concept that enables works to be performed without time and space constraints, and the mobile office is a typical form of smart work. Smart work has brought significant changes to the way that workers perform their jobs, and it has considerable impacts on international trade transactions.

This paper investigates the effects of exchange rate and labor skill composition on Vietnam's trade balance with her twenty main trading partners. Using balanced panel data from 2000 to 2016, the authors analyze Vietnam's total trade balance and the trade balance which is disaggregated based on labor skill sophistication. Three main findings are presented. Firstly, exchange rate has a positive effect on Vietnam's trade balance, but the small value of estimated coefficient indicates that its effect is limited. Secondly, Vietnam's trade balance of the high labor-skill produced and medium-skill white collar labor-produced goods is worsened when VND (Vietnamese Dong) depreciates. Thirdly, moving up the labor skill ladder and promoting the none-price competitiveness of the high labor-skill produced and medium-skilled white collar labor-produced goods can improve Vietnam's total trade balance, while promoting the low-skill labor-produced and medium-skill blue collar-labor produced goods can no longer contribute to Vietnam's total trade balance.

세계적인 무역의 흐름은 전자문서교환(EDI), 인터넷 등 정보기술의 빠른 확산에 힘입어 기존 무역거래 형태에서 새로운 형태인 전자무역으로 발전하고 있다 이는 전자무역이 기존 무역거래 방식의 단순한 전자화 수준을 넘어 무역구조와 무역프로세스를 혁신하고 무역부대비용 절감, 시간단축 등을 통해 국제경쟁력을 강화할 수 있는 세계화 정보화 시대에서의 국가와 기업의 생존전략으로 인식되고 있기 때문이다. 선진국들과 주요경쟁국들은 전자무역을 통해 무역거래에 소요되는 시간과 비용 절감을 도모하고 업무 효율성을 증진시켜 나가고 있다. 이에 우리나라도 전자무역 활성화를 통해 국제무역거래에서의 경쟁력을 높이기 위해 노력을 경주하고 있다. 정부와 무역유관기관의 경우 전자무역 활성화를 위한 인프라 구축 및 법적, 제도적 기반 조성을 위해 다양한 지원정책과 제도를 시행하고 있다. 국내 기업들도 기존의 전형적인 무역거래 형태에서 벗어나 전자무역을 구현하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 대부분의 중소기업의 경우 전자무역의 활용은 초보적 단계이다. 우리나라 국가경제에서 중소기업이 차지하는 비중을 고려해보면 중소기업의 전자무역 활용도 제고를 통한 경쟁력 강화는 궁극적으로 국가경쟁력을 높이는 핵심이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 중소기업의 전자무역 활용도 제고를 위해 무엇보다 정부, 무역유관기관, 중소기업 등 3대 주체간에 전자무역구현 필요성에 대한 공감대 형성과 효율적인 인프라 구축 및 전자무역 친화적 환경조성을 위해 노력해야 한다.
