21세기 우리에게 다가온 가장 큰 변화는 아마도 컴퓨터와 정보통신 산업의 발전, 그리고 그에 따른 새로운 변화일 것이다. 특히 정보화 시대에 접어들면서 우리나라의 사정은 급격히 달라졌다. 역사적으로 볼 때 농경시대, 산업시대에서 우리가 일찍이 경험해 보지 못했던 선진모습들이 여러 분야에서 등장하고 있는 것이다. 현재 우리나라는 초고속 인터넷 통신망 및 전자정부 구현 세계 1위, 이용자 수 세계 2위, IT 분야 경제성장은 OECD 선진국 중 7위를 차지하면서 인터넷 초강국으로 자리매김하고 있다. 특히 IT 분야가 무역수지 흑자의 61.7%를 점유한다는 사실은 정보화시대에 우리나라의 밝은 미래를 암시해주고 있다.

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.

산업연구원에서 발표한 '2014년 경제 산업 전망'에 따르면 세계 경제의 완만한 회복세와 수출 증가, 내수 회복세 확산 등으로 2014년 우리나라의 국민총생산(GDP) 증가율이 3.7%에 이를 것으로 예상된다. 수출은 세계경제 회복세에 힘입어 전년에 비해 증가세가 확대되나, 우리의 주요 수출시장인 신흥권의 성장 둔화로 증가율이 크게 높아지기는 어려울 전망이다. 2014년 수출은 약 6.7%, 수입은 약 9% 증가하고 무역흑자는 328억 달러 내외를 기록할 전망이다. 민간소비는 가계부채 부담이 제약요인으로 작용하나 수출 회복에 힘입은 소득 상승, 유가 안정과 환율 하락에 따른 교역조건 개선 등으로 전년보다 높은 3%대 초반의 증가가 예상된다. 2014년 10대 주력산업은 미국, 유럽연합(EU) 등 선진국의 경기 회복과 주력산업의 경쟁력 강화에 따라 일반기계(8.5%), 자동차(6.7%), 정보통신기기(7.1%), 반도체(6.8%) 등의 수출이 호조를 보일 것으로 예측된다. 반면 디스플레이 수출 증가율은 3%에 그치며 철강(-0.1%)과 조선(-0.4%)의 수출은 부진할 전망이다. 신흥국 경기회복정도, 원화강세와 엔화약세 등의 환율요인, 중국업체들의 글로벌 입지 확대 등이 이들 주력산업 성장의 주요 변수로 작용할 전망이다.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the effect of Korean FDI(1990-2008) in China by industries on exports and imports between two countries. We use time series regression, Vector Error Correction Model and Impulse Response Function as methodologies. Our findings through empirical tests are as follows. First Korean FDI in China increases Korean exports with China but shows a tendency to decrease due to the local content of China. Second Korean FDI in China increases Korean imports in SITC 8 with China. Finally Korean trade surplus caused by Korean FDI in China shrinks due to the decreasing of exports and increasing of imports in Korea. Korean FDI in China should be oriented host country's market oriented rather than production efficiency oriented because of unfriendly foreign investment environments in China.

This study, tried to describe the corporations and competitiveness of IT industries in Korea and China as well as the general trend in trade using import-export structure. Further, based on trade intensity index, revealed comparative advantage index, Grubel-Lloyd index, constant market share, the trade structure between Korea and China was analyzed for the equipment in the fields of communication, information, broadcasting and their parts. The results are; first, since 2004, China has been catching up with Korea in the number of their companies listed in the global top 500 conglomerates. Second, the trade intensity index increased in 2007 4.57% up from 2002, showing increasingly closer connection between the two countries in the area of communications equipment. Third, according to revealed comparative advantage index, Korea's info-communications equipment seems to comparatively lag behind, but in terms of import-export structure is in the black. Fourth, in recent years, Korean equipment's market share in the Chinese market has been dropped due to the weakening competitiveness and the changing commodity supplies.

As a revision negotiation on the KORUS FTA has become a national pending issue, this study aims to analyze changes in the trade structure of Korean export industry before and after the KORUS FTA. For the analysis, this study used Market Comparative Advantage(MCA) and Intra-industry Trade(IIT) indexes. Results of the analysis are as follows: First, in analyzing the competitive and complementary relationships of export products using the MCA index, it was discovered that Korea has formed an export-oriented complementary relationship with the United States. Second, the results of analysing IIT showed that Korea has made a low-quality vertical IIT with the U.S. in some items while it has usually made a weak IIT with the U.S.. Based on the results above, this study proposes a few policy suggestions in the following areas: Improvement of competitiveness in trade-deficit service sector, achievement of the balance of profit and loss in goods and service sectors through the revision negotiation of the KORUS FTA, enhancement of competitiveness in competitive and comparative disadvantage items, reinforcement of ability to respond to consumption patterns in U.S. market, etc. in export-dominant items, and pursuit of horizontal-vertical division of labor in comparative advantage items and horizontal division of labor in comparative disadvantage items.

Korea and China should come up with a mutually beneficial FTA proposal at an early date and thus lead the way towards the FTA. An FTA with China is a key issue of economic cooperation in order to confront soaring Chinese competitiveness in international markets. The purpose of this research paper is to analyze the overall Busan regional economy impacts of the Korea-China FTA. We analyzed the quantitative effects of an FTA by using microeconomic concept. The Korea-China FTA will have positive effects on the overall industry in Busan. Therefore, Busan regional industries exports and imports are expected to grow. Busan is worried the deal would pave the way for imports of cheap Chinese agricultural products, hurting the nation's already fragile agricultural sector. In contrast, Busan's manufacturing sector is expected to see its surplus rise. In sum, we think the FTA will bring benefit to the whole industry in Busan Regional economy because it accelerates development of the industries by trade and investment along with comparative advantage.

In the 1980s, private security was established in the framework of institutional framework with the Security Industry Act which was enacted in 1976. The agents who brought in the development of the private sector in 1980 enjoyed a boom in the global economy, affected by its high-flying dollar value, low international interest rate, low oil prices, and the blooming economy. In addition, the semiconductor, computers and communications equipment that was promoted in accordance with the e-Literacy plan were raised. Following the economic development of various events such as Seoul International Trade Fair, "86 Asian Games," and "88 Seoul Olympic Games," private security expenses were enhanced by increasing awareness of civilian expenses. Also, in the 1980s, Korean investment in foreign companies, including Japan's Secom, or Korean technology, brought many changes to the private security. Meanwhile, the cost of security, which has been centered around human expenses, has brought about the era of mechanized spending, or machine security expenses. The purpose of this study is to systematically analyze the social environment surrounding the private security in the 1980s and systematically analyze the important factors that contribute to private security.

우리나라 금형산업이 2012년 생산 10조원 시대를 맞이하였다. 1960년대 가내수공업 수준에 머물던 국내 금형산업은 불과 반세기만에 금형 생산 10조원을 넘어서 세계 5위 금형생산국의 입지를 굳건히 하는 한편, 세계 1위 금형강국으로 도약하기 위한 발판을 마련하였다. 한국금형공업협동조합은 매년 통계청 '광업 제조업조사보고서' 자료를 분석하여 금형생산 통계를 발표하고 있다. 최근 2011년 금형생산 통계를 집계한 결과 종업원 10인 이상의 기업을 기준으로 국내에 금형업체는 1,341개사, 생산실적은 7조126억원으로 조사되었다. 또한 조합자체 분석결과 10인 미만의 금형업체는 전국에 약 2,300개사가 존재하고 있으며, 이들 업체의 생산량과 일반 제조업체의 내제화된 금형, 그리고 2012년 추정성장률까지 모두 합산한 경우 2012년 10조원을 넘어선 것으로 전망된다. 이같은 금형산업의 성장이 더욱 뜻깊은 이유는 국가전반의 경제성장에 커다란 파급효과를 남기고 있기 때문이다. 지난해 금형수출이 25.1억 달러와 무역수지 흑자규모 23.6억 달러를 기록해 국가경상수지 개선에 금형이 한몫을 톡톡히 했다. 무엇보다 국가뿌리산업이라고 불리우는 금형은 자동차, 핸드폰, 가전 등 주력산업의 경쟁력을 뒷받침해 이들 제품이 세계 일류상품 반열에 올라서게한 일등공신으로 평가되고 있다. 본 고에서는 한국금형공업협동조합이 발표한 통계자료를 바탕으로 금형 업계 동향을 살펴보도록 한다.
