This study evaluates industrial competitiveness of 34 industries in the 41 countries in terms of several trade indices such as value-added RCA(VRCA) and value added intra-industry trade(VIIT). Conclusions are as follows: First, China is still showing week evidence to replace or overtake Korea in terms of VRCA. Second, it is not supportive of the assertion that the gap between Japan and South Korea had widened in the 1995-2011 period. Third, Korea's exports pattern in the manufacturing sector has shifted from the one featured by developing countries(re-exportation of final goods produced using imported intermediate inputs) to that of the developed (exportation of intermediate goods). According to dynamic panel analysis regressing the RCA gap on the IIT gap, intermediate-goods RCA and the market share gap, the estimated coefficient of the gap between value-added IIT and gross IIT is 0.253 and statistically significant at the 2% level. This implies that increases in IIT or intermediate-goods trade to sustain the global competitiveness are the main reasons for the gap between value-added RCA and gross RCA.

체세포 수는 유우유선염증의 측정에 일반적으로 수용되었다. 염증에 대단히 중요한 유방염은 미생물의 존재 또는 유선에 감염된 것이 원인이 된다. 세계의 현대 낙농생산국 들은 SCC는 사람소비가 확대되는 우유 질과 안전성 측정에 유용하다라는 것에 동의한다. 그리고 거의 모든 나라들은 상한 이상을 이룩하였고, 우유는 가공공장에 운반하지 않거나 상한 이상은 현금으로 벌을 취한다. SCC는 우유와 유제품의 국제무역에서 지레 대(leverage)의 힘으로 또한 작용한다. 현재 SCC에 관련된 국제표준은 없다. 그러나 Codex표준과 같은 국제표준은 소비자를 도와 줄 것이다. 그리고 이들에 대한 것을 우유와 유제품국제무역에 포함 시키는 것이다. 많은 것을 낙농목장 내 유방염관리와 낮은 SCC우유생산에서 배웠다. 그리고 우리 지식의 현재상태는 400,000 초과 세계표준은 적절할 수가 없다는 것을 제시하였다. 낙농생산국들은 우유에 허용될 수 있는 염증산물의 수용량에 관하여 동의 되는 것이 필요하다. 염증산물은 현실적으로 SCC에 의한 것이 가장 좋은 측정이 된다 SCC에 대한 국제표준화 이익은 소비자와 낙농산업 양자에게 줄 수 있을 것이다.

The South Korean government announced its plan to pursue membership in the CPTPP in 2022, aiming to establish a stable supply chain within the Asia-Pacific region. The CPTPP, led by Japan, was ratified in 2018 by 11 countries with the goal of eliminating tariffs and establishing new trade rules. According to our analysis, since the implementation of the CPTPP, there has been a trade promotion effect among Japan and member countries, with greater effects observed in countries with higher GDP per capita and closer geographical distance. As long as tariff elimination and reduction proceed as planned, the trade promotion effects are expected to expand gradually. However, the expansion of trade between Japan and CPTPP member countries may also indicate a relative contraction in trade with non-member countries, potentially posing a threat to the stable supply chain in the Korean industry within the Asia-Pacific region. As Japan is Korea's fourth-largest trading partner, it is necessary to carefully consider the impact of CPTPP on Japan's future trade with member countries and engage in discussions regarding Korea's participation and negotiation content based on a thorough examination of the matter.

최근 우리나라의 세계 반도체 시장 점유율이 갈수록 높아지고 있다. DRAM과 같은 경우는 세계 2위 수출국으로 떠올랐다. 이에 따른 선진 외국의 무역 압력이 거세지고 있다. 특히 미국의 경우 미ㆍ일 반도체 협정 체결을 한국에까지 확산하려고 하며, 각종 기술에 대한 특허 제소를 하고 있다. 그러나 국내 반도체 산업은 DRAM부분에 집중되어 있어서 기술 집약적인 ASIC 부분은 취약하다. 또한 세계의 반도체 시장중에서 ASIC이 차지하고 있는 비중이 갈수록 커지는 현상에 미루어 보아 빠른 시일내에 ASIC 부분을 강화해야 할 필요성이 있다. 본고에서는 국내에 도입된 ASIC 설계 환경을 살펴본 후, 현재 추진되고 있는 새로운 ASIC 설계 환경을 고찰한다. 또한 ASIC 설계 환경에서 중요한 역할을 하는 ASIC CAD환경에 대하여 살펴보기로 한다.

After the establishment of WTO for strengthening of GATT in 1995, the world economy has gradually been integrating toward economic globalisation. Even though this multilateral agreement may be beneficial to many countries but it also interferes domestic policies of member countries and threatens the role of local government and policy independence. For these reasons, FTA between countries or regions has been increasing. According to this trend, Korea and China has reached a substantial agreement of Korea-China FTA for mutual benefits. In general, the Korean automobile industry will benefit from Korea-China FTA due to its competitiveness in the global market and improvement of market access. However in the provisional schedule of concessions and commitment reported by press, the automobile seems to be excluded in this schedule of concessions. Hence, Korean automobile industry can not use the price competitiveness from tariff elimination. Therefore, Korean automobile industry needs aggressive marketing strategies for enhancement of brand equity as well as development of environment-friendly cars for following environment policies of Chinese government. Furthermore, they should make efforts to create the efficient investment environment by the removal of non-tariff barriers.

Despite its rising labor costs these days, China still serves the role as 'World's Factory' thanks to a great deal of foreign direct investment, still remaining one of the world's highest, and the global companies, which have been willingly establishing foreign subsidiaries in China. While enjoying the benefits from the Chinese market, these global companies can now take advantages of another market; the one of Korea. If a product produced by a certain global company is actually manufactured in the local factory in China and the product meets specifications of Rules of Origin, the product shall receive preferential treatment under China-Korea FTA. In the perspective of global market, therefore, it is found that China-Korea FTA may have negative effects on chemical industry in Korea, which is considered one of the representatives of China-Korea FTA. This study examines such risks by network analysis, with several cases of 'Beauty or Make-up Preparations (HS Code 3304).' Analysis shows that Korea is classified as the marginal country group but not main country group when it comes to beauty products family. So this can be a great chance to the global cosmetic companies with local factories in China in the sense that they can increase their sales towards the market of Korea based on the China-Korea FTA. Under these concerns, this study suggests two policy alternatives for the chemical industry in Korea to deal with current challenges rising from China-Korea FTA. The suggested alternatives are: to actively attract the global chemical corporations which are yet to directly enter the Chinese market; and to invest on chemical products with high potential of growth as a priority.

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.

Recent studies on the economic effects of trade liberalization and economic integration have emphasized the significant gains associated with product differentiation and scale economies. Securing access to markets in other countries will make it possible to increase product variety and capture scale economies, thus, expanding the gains from trade. Liberalization is also expected to introduce foreign competition into the previously closed market. Concurrently, the liberalization will improve the competitive market environment for firms selling in the domestic market. Firms will be pressed to either exit or reduce cost. The output per firm, then, will increase due to the exit of rival firms, and the average total cost will decline due to the economies of scale. 'Rationalization' of the production process will eventually follow. This paper addresses the economic effects of (counterfactual) bilateral tariff elimination between Korea and Japan. It computationally assesses the gains from liberalization as well as the resource allocations and welfare effects associated with the tariff reduction. The endogenous determination of the key parameters distinguishes this paper from others. The firm's perceived elasticity of demand and elasticity of substitution in the present model are calibrated to be consistent with the base year data. Korea, Japan, and the rest of the world are modeled explicitly. The sectoral coverage of the model includes twenty-three tradable product categories based on three-digit SITC industries and seven nontradable categories based on one-digit SITC industries. Product categories are also classified into perfectly competitive and imperfectly competitive ones. In the imperfectly competitive industries, product differentiation exists at the firm level, while the perfectly competitive industries are characterized by national product differentiation. The simulation results of bilateral tariff reduction are reported. Tariff elimination tends to increase intra-industry trade flows so that the total amount of exports and imports of both countries expand. Yet, Japan is expected to increase the bilateral trade surplus in the wake of the mutual tariff reduction. Terms-of-trade for Korea will not change, while for Japan it will deteriorate. Equivalent variations reflecting the change in consumer surplus (welfare) will favor Korean consumers. Total output, however, will not change substantially, recording 0.5 and 0.6% for Japan and Korea, respectively. An interesting finding in the analysis is that the gains from increased competition and scale efficiency are not as prevailing as expected in theory.

This study presents the pattern and determinants of intra-industry trade in Korea's machinery and transport equipment industry focusing the influence of foreign direct investment on intra-industry trade. Using an OLS regression model the determinants of intra-industry trade are investigated. Results indicate that a statistically significant negative relationship is found between intra-industry trade and foreign direct investment, and show that intra-industry trade is positively affected by the degree of product differentiation and export structure similarity. Intra-industry trade is also positively associated with the economies of scale, the level of trade barrier, and transportation costs, although this is not statistically significant. The study found strong evidence that the propensity of foreign direct investment toward export specialized industry makes the negative relationship between intra-industry trade and foreign direct investment.
