This study aims to analyse determinants of payment balance of Korea, targeting 65 countries which concluded FTA with Korea in 2012 or are pursuing it with Korea( effectuation, agreement, negotiation and joint research). For an analysis model, economic and geographical variables of target countries were included in explanatory variables of the gravity model and divided values which indicate surpluses or deficits in trade with Korea were marked in dependent variables to perform a logistic analysis. If payment balance in trade between Korea and specific countries is a surplus, a value of 1 is given and if it is a deficit, a value of 0 is given. As a result of estimating the logit model, it was discovered that variables of GDP, GDP per person, total trade with trade partners, petroleum, landlocked countries and maritime powers were not statistically significant. However, variables of total trade, export dependency, import dependency, distance and mineral were statistically significant.

The paper investigates empirically the determinants of standardization activity at the industry level, focusing on market structure. The enactments or amendments of collective standards is used as the proxy variable for standardization activity. The independent variables, in addition to market structure, are technological opportunity, factor intensity, export ratio, and industry characteristics(assembly). We estimated the logistic regression model(so-called Logit), using the pooling data for 9 Korean industries, including foods, textiles, chemicals, nonmetallic minerals, metals, electronics and electrics, machinery, automobiles, and shipbuilding, over 2006-2009. The empirical finding shows that market structure has no any effects on the enactments or amendments of collective standards in Korea. This might infer that oligopolistic firms devote themselves to de facto standards determined by market rather than de jure standards such as collective standards and Korean Standards(KS). Besides market structure variable, whereas technological opportunity and assembly characteristics are likely to relate positively with the enactments or amendments of collective standards, capital intensity and export ratio have no any relationship with industrial standardization, respectively.

앞으로의 국제사료곡물 시세 및 국내 주요 단미사료 시세에 큰 변동은 없을 것 같다. 만약 곡물 시세를 변동시킬 만한 요인이 있다면 현재 강세를 보이고 있는 강류사료 가격의 여하와 소련의 구매량과 구매시기, 미국의 주산지 기상조건 및 그 외 곡물 수출국가의 수출여력과 수요국가의 수요도 여하에 따라 결정지어 질 것으로 전망된다. 그리고 관세제도의 변경실시로 옥수수, 수수, 타피오카 이외의 품목은 관세가 부과되므로 특히 고열량사료인 우지 등의 수입이 어렵게 되었다. 또 배합사료 가격안정기금 확보를 위한 수입사료 부담금적립 등의 문제가 있겠으나 전반적으로 밝은 전망이다. 이러한 때를 놓치지 말고 우리 축산인 모두가 서로 협력하여 축산업의 안정적 발전을 위하여 총매진해야 겠다.

본 연구의 목적은 두가지 인조섬유 산업, 즉 합성섬유 산업(SITC 266)과 재생섬유 산업(SITC 267)에 있어서, 산업내 무역의 결정요인을 조사하는데 있다. 20개의 주요 인조섬유 수출 국가들을 대상으로 1977, 1982, 1987년의 세 시기에 거힉 자료가 수집되었다. 국제무역 유형을 알아보기 위해 산업내 무역 모델이 사용되었고 종속 변인으로 Grubel-Lloyd지수가 사용되었다. 산업내 무역 을 결정하는 독립변인으로는 국가특성 변인, 국가간 변인, 산업특성 변인의 세 종류가 쓰였다. 국가 특성 변인에는 시장규모, 일인당 소득, 자본-노동 비율 변인들이 사용되었고, 국가간 변인으로는 국가간 거리, 인접국경, 공통언어, 동일 경제블럭 변인들이 사용되었다. 산업특성 변인에는 규모의 경제와 제품차별성 변인들이 쓰였다. 자료의 분석을 위해서는 비선형자승 방법이 이용되었다. 본 연구의 결과, 일인당 소득과 자본-노동의 비율 변인들은 인조섬유의 산업내 무역에 중요하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 시장규모, 국가간 거리, 인접국경, 규모의 경제, 제품차별성 변인들은 모든 시기에 걸켜 산업내 무역에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 공통언어 사용과 동일 경제블럭 변인들도 대부분의 시기에 인조섬유의 산업내 무역에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

This study analyzes various aspects of the successful overseas expansion of SMEs that export consumer goods with their own brands. Through in-depth interviews with CEOs and marketing practitioners of fifteen SMEs that export consumer goods of their own brands, researchers examined the determinants of the decisions to export own-brand products, forms of expansion into foreign markets, firms' distribution networks, firms' technological and marketing capabilities, export barriers, and export support services offered by the government. The results indicate that these companies obtained competitiveness in the design and quality of their products through steady R&D investment, with a focus on niche markets. This study also shows that they established foreign branches, participated in overseas trade fairs, and tapped into foreign markets with Korean home shopping channels and department stores to build distribution channels and to find new buyers. However, the findings of this study reveal that many of those companies export both OEM/OEM products as well as their own-brand products due to the low level of brand awareness in foreign markets. Thus, efforts to improve their brand awareness in the global market are much needed. In addition, this paper demonstrates that the programs and services provided by state-run organizations need improvement in credibility and expertise. This research suggests recommendations for successful export programs, and provides meaningful insights for consumer-goods SMEs establishing foreign market entry strategies with their own brands.

The main purpose of this study is to identify the determinants of electricity import and export in 26 European Union countries using the Spatial durbin model(SDM). In particular, we would like to mainly explain it based on the amount of power generated by each energy source. Not just the usual way of constructing a weighting matrix based on contiguity, we adopt a weighting method based on the proportion of trade among countries with connected electricity systems. Moreover, the electricity systems of European countries are directly and indirectly connected, which is reflected in the weighting matrix. According to the results, nuclear power has a positive effect on exports and a negative effect on imports, and an increase in wind and solar power has a positive effect on both exports and imports by increasing power system instability. While Korea is unable to trade electricity due to geopolitical conditions, the results of this study are expected to provide implications for energy policies.
