1987년도 이전의 우리나라 의약품 산업은 외국에서 제조한 원료의약품 및 완제의약품을 수입하여 판매 또는 공급하거나, 원료의약품을 합성한다하더라도 이미 외국에서 개발되어 사용되는 성분을 그대로 모방하는 단계에서 안주하고 있는 실정이었다. 그런데, 1987년도 국내에 도입된 물질특허 관계로 이러한 답습은 로얄티 지급 등 생산단가 상승으로 국내시장은 물론 국제시장에서의 경쟁약화로 기업경영의 저해요인으로 작용하게 되었다. 따라서 기업이 생존하기 위해서는 기업자체의 연구력 강화를 통하여 신약개발 기술력제고가 절실히 요구된다고 할 수 있으며 국내 제약업계가 신약창출을 목표로 과감한 투자와 더불어 연구인혁확보를 위해 노력하고 정부차원의 지원이 필요한 시기라고 말할 수 있다. 사실 이제까지 국내신약이라 하더라도 외국에서 유효성 안전성이 입증된 성분에 한해서만 공급되어지고 있는 실정이고 국내에서 신약개발이 완성되어도 이에 대한 제반 국내여건이 아직까지는 흡족하지 않은 상태이며, 특히 의약품 규격과 품질관리 방향은 다소 배타적인 요소로 간주되어 오고 있다.

본고(本稿)는 1986년 이후 우리나라의 경상수지흑자(經常收支黑字) 및 수출입행태(輸出入行態)를 실증적(實證的)으로 분석(分析)하고 그 원인(原因)을 살펴보고자 하는 데 목적이 있다. 1986년의 해외여건호전(海外與件好轉)으로 경상수지(經常收支)가 흑자(黑字)로 반전하게 되자 1987년 이후에는 원화(貨)를 상당히 절상(切上)하였음에도 불구하고 경상수지흑자감소(經常收支黑字減少)의 효과가 1988년까지는 뚜렷이 나타나지 않았는데, 이는 환율(換率)의 변화를 수출가격(輸出價格)에 100% 전가(轉嫁)하지 않으려는 기업(企業)의 가격결정정책(價格決定政策)으로 수출물량감소(輸出物量減少)가 지연되고 원화절상(貨切上)의 J-커브효과(效果)가 발생했기 때문이다. 한편 1986년 이후 경상수지흑자기조하(經常收支黑字基調下)에서 수출입행태(輸出入行態)와 구조적(構造的) 안정성(安定性)을 계량적(計量的) 방법(方法)으로 검증한 결과 검증방법(檢證方法)에 따라 구조적(構造的) 안정성(安定性)의 가설(假設)이 기각되기도 하였는데 특히 수출단가(輸出單價) 및 수입물량결정행태(輸入物量決定行態)의 경우 1985년 이전에 비하여 구조적(構造的)으로 상당한 변화(變花)가 있었던 것으로 나타났다.

Since the Korea-Chile FTA in 2003, eight FTAs are now in force including Korea-EU and Korea-US FTA. The government anticipate that FTAs increase the GDP of Korea. Government-related research institutes officially reports the positive economic impact in Korea. However, the report does not show that how much Busan economy is affected by the FTAs. For this reason, we study the economic effects of FTAs in Busan. We compare the trade statistics before and after the time each FTA is in force. The resulting figures show that the exports and trades of Busan with the FTA nations increased significantly after the enforcement. For example, the exports to Chile increased by 273% when we compare the three-year average trade. We also construct an econometrics model to estimate the price elasticity. The estimated elasticity of exports for manufactured goods is 1.38 while that of imports is 0.83. Among the manufacturing industry, machinery has the highest price elasticity, 1.8. The average tariff for manufactured goods is 3.9% for FTA nations, while that is 5.8% for Busan. This higher price fall in Busan is offset by the lower price elasticity to make Busan's export increase be greater than Busan's import increase. Busan's export increases by 4.8% while import increases by 3.7%. So, it is expected to be added to the annual trade surplus of approximately $107million.

Illegal transactions such as blackmarketing and smuggling allegedly result from too restrictive trade policies. A recent U.S. Senate hearing on the blackmarketing of American goods imported into Korea for the purpose of supporting United States troops and their dependents stationed in Korea concluded with the allegation that Korea's highly restrictive trade practices are responsible for the emergence of the black market. It has also suggested that the removal of such restrictive trade policies would eliminate black market activities. This study addresses the relationship between trade policy and blackmarketing by investigating whether trade liberalization results in the reduction of illegal transactions, and whether the eradication of blackmarketing indeed improves social welfare. When both legally imported goods and illegally exchanged items command the same price, trade liberalization, meaning a decrease in tariff rates or an increase in import quotas, will increase the quantity of legal imports at the expense of illegally transacted goods on the black market. But the price of legally imported goods usually differs from that of illegally sold ones. In this case, a change in the relative prices of these two groups of goods due to a change in trade policy will give rise to income, as well as substitution, effects. Initially, a decrease in the import price due to a decrease in import tax rates or an increase in the allotted quota will reduce illegal transactions, since the decrease in the import price will induce the substitution of legal imports for illegally exchanged, but otherwise, identical goods. On the other hand, the demand for the illegally transacted goods will rise, because of the income effect of the reduced import price. Thus, assuming the positive income effect overwhelms the negative substitution effect, the demand for illegal goods will increase, thwarting the reduction of blackmarketing through trade liberalization. Yet, stepping up the enforcement measures which are geared to preventing blackmarketing itself will drastically reduce the extent of illegal transactions, since it increases the cost of blackmarketing and hence the price of the illegally transacted goods. What this study suggests is that the emergence of the black market in Korea should be attributed more to the excessive supply of duty-free goods imported through U.S. commissaries and exchanges than to the excessive demand for foreign goods. On the other hand, blackmarketing, in most cases, improves economic welfare, since it constitutes an increase in the "actual" amount of imported goods. Suppressing blackmarketing through stepped-up enforcement methods is beneficial only when the substitution effect of the legally transacted goods resulting from the increase in the price of the illegal goods prevails, since the increase in the demand for legal imports must override the decrease in the demand for black market goods as well as the negative income effect.

This study analyzed the impact of increasing orange imports on the domestic fruit markets, focusing on the period January to May when oranges were imported and sold intensively after implementation of the Korea-US FTA. In this study, only citrus fruits that compete with U.S. oranges were limited to domestic fruits; of these, Hallabong, which is consistent with consumption of U.S. oranges, was selected as an analysis target. A dynamic recursive simulation model was established to evaluate the ex-post effects of the Korea-U.S. FTA, and to conduct mid and long-term forecasts for the Hallabong market. In addition, major policy simulations were performed on the Hallabong market to assess the effect of each scenario. The ex-post impact evaluation reveals that between December and February, Hallabong had no effect on the seasonal tariff of oranges. However, from 2012 to 2017, the actual import decreased by 21.9 billion won annually due to the TRQ, with the accumulated 6-year decrease being 131.5 billion won. Major policy simulation analysis shows that the change in the unit cost of import due to the U.S orange crop and the increase of Hallabong export will help in expanding the market, and thus effectively increase income.

In this paper, we deals with the digitization of high frequency sine wave power supply using power source of high frequency surgical equipment and RF device. High frequency surgical equipment has been using commonly on medical surgery because of its merits such as programmable depth of incision, availability of incision and coagulation in the same device, increasing the usability on surgical side. However, the core part of the device is consists of vacuum tubes which are expensive, not ease to use and must be imported, therefore it is inevitable of high prices, forces to develop the fully digitized alternative technology. The fully digitized high frequency sine wave power supply for surgical device is proposed and verified by experimental results.

우리나라는 연평균 강수량이 1,245mm로써, 비교적 강수량이 풍부하고 전국토의 2/3가 산지로 구성되어 있어 지형적 및 수문학적으로 수력자원 부존량이 많은 편이다. 하지만 수력자원 활용을 통한 발전소 건설은 매우 미미한데 이는 수력발전소 개발지점이 제약되어 있고 개발지점의 가동율 또한 매우 낮아 경제성 확보가 어렵기 때문이다. 수력발전은 전력수요 급증 시 부하 평준화 효과와 석유 수입대체 및 환경 친화적인 에너지원이라는 장점이 있다. 따라서 국산화된 수차발전시스템의 사용으로 초기투자비를 낮추고 하천형 수력발전소 건설을 통하여 가동율을 높인다면 우리나라의 수력발전사업은 크게 활성화 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 하천형 수력발전소 시공사례를 통하여 주요 시공사례를 소개하고, 하천공사의 특징으로 인하여 설계 및 시공 시 반영해야 할 사항에 대해 몇 가지 소개하였다. 표준화를 통하여 건설비용을 절감, 발전 단가의 기준가격 현실화를 통한 재정적인 지원 및 법규 정비를 통한 제도적인 도움 이 세가지를 해결한다면 경쟁력 있는 소수력발전소 건설이 가능 할 것이다.

대부분의 수출자율규제실시국(輸出自律規制實施國)들은 총(總)쿼타의 일부를 개방(開放)쿼타로 할당하여 수출단가(輸出單價)와 비규제국(非規制國) 수출실적(輸出實績)에 비례하여 배분하는 2단계(二段階)쿼타배분제도(配分制度)를 택하고 있으며 이는 수출자율규제(輸出自律規制)에서 오는 수출소득(輸出所得)과 수출물량(輸出物量)의 감소를 수출시장다변화(輸出市場多邊化)를 통해 줄이려는 정책적(政策的) 노력(努力)으로 해석된다. 본고(本稿)는 부분균형분석(部分均衡分析)을 통해 비규제국(非規制國) 수출실적(輸出實績)을 개방(開放)쿼타의 배분기준(配分基準)으로 하는 2단계(二段階)쿼타배분제도(配分制度)가 기본(基本)쿼타에만 의존하는 단일(單一)쿼타배분제도(配分制度)보다 비규제국(非規制國) 수출물량(輸出物量)을 증가시키고 이에 따른 수출소득(輸出所得)의 변화는 비규제국(非規制國) 수입수요탄력성(輸入需要彈力性)에 의해 결정됨을 보인 반면 개방(開放)쿼타를 얻기 위한 기업의 경쟁행위가 비규제국(非規制國) 수출가격(輸出價格)을 한계생산비(限界生産費) 이하의 수준으로 하락시켜 자원배분(資源配分)의 비효율(非效率)을 초래할 수 있으며 이는 바로 GATT규정(規定)에 위배되는 덤핑사례(事例)를 유도할 수 있음을 보였다. 따라서 수출(輸出)쿼타배분제도(配分制度)를 운용함에 있어서 자원배분(資源配分)의 효율(效率)과 국제무역환경(國際貿易環境)에 미치는 영향 등을 충분히 고려해야 할 것이다.

Trade specialization index, import market share, unit value index, market comparative advantage index have been applied to compare the competitiveness of forest products in Korean and European markets for the case of Korea-EU FTA. The results say that no items of non-timber products would show a surge of imports as a result of FTA. Timber products, however, such as non-coniferous plywood, continuously shaped wood (non-coniferous), densified wood, wood wool and flour, other (plywood), other (particle board, 441039)), other (fiberboard), oriented strand board (other), other (particle board, 441090), other (particle board, 441031), Prefabricated buildings of wood, fibreboard (of a density exceeding $0.5g/cm^3$ but not exceeding $0.8g/cm^3$), wooden frames (for paintings, photographs, mirrors or similar objects) and wood marquetry and inlaid wood are expected to increase of their imports by eliminating tariffs. For Korean exports no items of non-timber products have competitiveness in European market. For Korean pyroligneous liquid, which is the only competitive timber product in EU market in terms of MCA and TSI, it is difficult to decide whether it has competitiveness, since the actual exports have taken place occasionally during a period of last five years.

This study is aimed to obtain the influence of port hinterlands on container cargo volumes of Incheon port using System Dynamics(SD). Also, macro economic index such as exchange rates(US dollar), balance of current account, capital balance, Japan trade, China trade, export unit value index, import unit value index, total turnover of Incheon port were used as the factors that influence container cargo volumes of Incheon port. Moreover micro index regarding port hinterlands' operating companies such as total sales, rental fee, number of employees were introduced in the simulation model. In order to measure accuracy of the simulation, this study implemented MAPE analysis. And after the implementation, the simulation was decided as a much more accurate model because MAPE value was calculated to be within 10%. This study respectively examined factors using the sensitivity analysis. As a result, in terms of the effects on cargo volume in Incheon Port, the factor named 'cargo volumes of port hinterlands' operating companies' is most significant. And increasing the rental fee of hinterland was resulted in decreasing the cargo volumes of Incheon port.
