The purpose of this research is to create a polyester sample book that serves as a point of reference that exporters in the Taegu area can allude to when exporting to the U.S. By getting this project off the ground, we can expect to make a worthy contribution to the manufacture of high-quality, value-added fashion & textile goods. The research was conducted as follows. First, a study was carried out in the local market ensued by consumer surveys with regards to consumer attitude on man-made fibers, market researches, and interviews with experts, all in conjunction with the Color Association of the U.S. Also, a diverse array of fabric swatches were collected from Manhattans fabric wholesalers and then classified by color and fabric type fur the sample book. In short, this research found that man-made fibers have full marketability in the U.S. Thus, in order for Taegus synthetic textile firms to be successful in exporting to the US, it is essential that they come up with fabrics that have properties resembling natural fibers such as having a soft hand, natural sheen, smooth draping, and diverse textures as well as being in line with the current trends. In addition, it is also necessary to develop fabrications that are versatile and functional. Thus, by developing innovative fabrications, the synthetic textile business will turn toward the production of high-quality synthetics and will also provide a platfrom for strengthening the competitive edge of Koreas textile & fashion business.

지난해 우리나라 경제는 안정속에 고도성장과 국제수지 흑자를 기록한 값진 보람을 느낀 한 해였다. 그러나 이같은 흑자기조는 개개기업의 성장잠재력에서 찾아볼 수도 있겠으나 대부분이 3저요인을 배경으로한 수출환경의 변화에 힘입은 바 크다. 그럼으로 언제 무산될지 모르는 장래를 낙관만 할 수는 없다. 지금의 현상을 어떻게 보는가에 대하여는 각계각층이 보는 시각에 따라 견해가 달라지겠으나 분명한 것은 국제유가나 국제이자가 오름세를 보이기 시작했다는 사실과 우리에게 국제경상수지흑자시대를 열어준 3저호재는 확실히 변해가고 있다는 것이다. 이렇게 볼 때 우리나라 경제는 해외요인변화에 매우 예민함으로 지금, 흑자기조가 정착되었다고 속단하기에는 너무 이른것 같다. 적어도 흑자기조가 정착되려면 모든 산업간, 계층간, 지역간의 불균형이 시정되고 기존의 산업기반을 내실화하는 단계에 있을 때 비로서 흑자경제의 향배가 가름하게 되는 것이다. 최근에 일어나고 있는 원화의 지속적인 평가절하, 엔화강세에 따른 원자재가격폭등은 우리에게 적지않은 위협을 주고있다. 이같은 상황에서 정부는 올해 국제수지흑자의 적정선유지를 위해 대미구매사절단의 파견, 수입선의 다변화, 수출지원정책의 감소등 다각적인 정책을 선택하고 있는 것으로써 일응 올바른 판단으로 수긍하나 다만 업종에 따른 특성에 배려가 있었으면 한다. 특히 우리나라의 기계공업은 20년의 짧은 근대화건설 과정에서 그나마 지금의 수준과 규모의 기반을 닦아왔다. 그러나 아직도 기술면에서 많은 취약점을 지니고 있어 대부분의 기초소재와 핵심부품이 해외에서 수입되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 기계공업이 명실공히 선도산업으로써 의 위치를 굳히기 위해서는 적어도 기계류의 수입국에서 수출국으로의 탈바꿈을 할 때 비로소 성취될 것이며, 이 때가 관련산업간의 불균형이 시정된 흑자시대라고 보는 것이 옳을 것 같다. 작금의 주변환경은 서두에서 언급한 3저호재에 심상치 않는 조짐이 보이고 있다. 이같은 주변환경에 관점을 두고 지금 우리가 당면하고 있는 과제 중의 하나인 원화절상을 지적하지 않을 수 없다. 이같은 원화절상내용을 중심으로 부가적으로 수반된 몇가지의 현안문제와 함께 점검해 보기로한다.

This paper studied the changes and effects of Korean Trade Policies in Vietnam market after the withdrawal of the TPP from US. Since Trump government is starting, US trade policy has moved to the protectionism method. Nevertheless, Vietnam is expanding its status as an FTA hub, and Vietnam is actively expanding its economic growth by actively implementing foreign capital. Vietnam, however, is likely to lose its position as a hub of FTA after USA's withdrawal from TPP member. So, Korea's trade policy is also expected to change its stance on Vietnam, and Korea is expected to change its policy toward Vietnam. Korea has achieved a lot of accomplishments and growth with free trade and free economic markets, and it has to strengthen its national strength even afterwards. Thus, if the flow of free trade & globalization continues, I would consider how the Korea trade policy change after the U.S.'s withdraws from TPP.

Korean export of fashion products to the U.S. has fallen off sharply after 2001. Now, Korean fashion companies have to develop higher value-added business. In the U.S., Korean-American fashion companies are taking a primary role in up-stream of the fashion industry. To cut the edge over the U.S. fashion companies, one of the solutions could be to build the business relationship with Korean fashion companies which reflect the recent trend rapidly and have high quality production. On this study, we investigated the marketing strategies of Korean-American fashion companies to seek to start business with Korean fashion companies and make suggestions for Korean fashion companies who want to enter into the U.S. market effectively. To analyze current situation of Korean export to the U.S. and the U.S. fashion industry, we considered various kinds of statistic data, publications and studies. And we performed in-depth interviews with 9 Korean-American fashion companies in LA from $9^{th}$ to $21^{st}$ of July. The results are as follows. first, Korean fashion companies should aim for high-end market with the products of high quality and design. Second, there should be professional agents who manage Korean small-medium fashion companies and connect them with Korean-American fashion companies. Third, Korean fashion companies who want to enter into the retail market of the U.S. have to decide the target market clearly and plan strategic and differentiated merchandising. Fourth, Korean fashion companies can specialize in product developing service like proposing a product or a merchandising line as a package including designs, fabric swatches, trims, production information, etc.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate a short-term export demand forecasting model reflecting individual passenger vehicle brands and market characteristics by using Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models that are based on multivariate time-series model. The short-term export demand forecasting model was created by discerning theoretical potential factors that affect the short-term export demand of individual passenger vehicle brands. Quarterly short-term export demand forecasting model for two Korean small vehicle brands (Accent and Avante) were created by using VAR model. Predictive value at t+1 quarter calculated with the forecasting models for each passenger vehicle brand and the actual amount of sales were compared and evaluated by altering subject period by one quarter. As a result, RMSE % of Accent and Avante was 4.3% and 20.0% respectively. They amount to 3.9 days for Accent and 18.4 days for Avante when calculated per daily sales amount. This shows that the short-term export demand forecasting model of this research is highly usable in terms of prediction and consistency.

Current status on consumption and packaging of sweet persimmons in USA was surveyed by visiting the market, and three sea shipments were conducted as model export trial from Korean to USA with measurement in ship container temperature and fruit quality. Strategy to promote the export of Korean persimmons was derived. There have been gradual decrease in the price of persimmons due to their increases production, but there seems potential growth in consumption of the fruits from Asian, Hispanic and American people. Compared to the fruits from other countries, Korean persimmons are desired to have higher soluble solid content with stronger red color, but too large sizes are not favored in American market. There has often been temperature fluctuation in shipment container during the sea transport to USA, resulting in surface blackening, skin black spotting and flesh softening. Plastic bag packages with inappropriate unitizing crimping were found to sometimes build up unproper modified atmosphere (high $O_2$ and low $CO_2$) giving high rate of physiological injury.

This study intends to discuss the influence on behaviors of won/dollar exchange rate after a FTA between Korea and US come into effect. The change of behaviors of won/dollar exchange rate has been looked into concerning other countries who have signed a FTA pact with the US, and these examples were compared with that of Korea so as to find similarities and differences. As a result of analyses, behaviors of exchange rate between FTA-pact countries were showed differently. Volatility and risk premium somewhat decreased after the FTA took effect except for Chile. As for Chile, showing intense volatility, foreign exchange risk premium rather increased. It can be concluded that the relationship between volatility and risk premium of individual exchange rate is established and FTA can influence change of these behaviors of exchange rate depending on the situation of individual country. This study will contribute to offer informations to Korea trading companies related to IT that will have to prepare for the uncertainties of change of exchange rate due to FTA between Korea and US.

The short-term impact of the recent depreciation of Korean Won on the cost of the Korean logistics industry, which was caused by the global liquidity crisis began from the American financial market in 2007, is analyzed through the inter-industry analysis. The input-output data of the 2007 benchmark input-output accounts table which was most recently published by the Bank of Korea in 2009 have been utilized for the analysis. The results show that the cost of the Korean logistics industry as a whole rises 4.24% when the Korean exchange rate is depreciated by 10%. The impact of the depreciation of Korean exchange rate on the cost of the Korean logistics industry for December, 2007 ~ December, 2008 is estimated to be about 31.1 billion Won. If the Korean logistics companies should cover the rising cost of 11.7 billion Won only through sales promotion, then they should sell 1.9 times as much their current sales amount, which means 101.6 billion Won's worth of sales should be made.
