This study empirically investigates the export structure change of OECD countries in the field of information technology from 1995 to 2005. We used Between and Within Entropy index to estimate the difference of export structure change rather than RCA index(simple export structure change). In addition, we also estimate the relationship between R&D activities and export difference. First, empirical findings showed that IT export market concentration is decreasing gradually, and changing to more competitive market structure. Second, compared to other OECD countries, Korean exports weight of information and communication industry can be seen higher than that of bio-industry. Third, Entropy index was increased from 1995 and then gradually decreased as the starting point of 2000. Finally, the relationship between R & D activities in the telecommunications industry and impact of the export structure changes was a positive.

There have been many discussions on export indices in trade exports, but there is no definite trade export index which can be explained by objective indicators. Korea International Trade Association (KITA), Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), etc., but we are currently in the process of thinking about ways to express the capabilities of exporting companies. In this study, we constructed the AI data sets by setting the activity indicators such as the size of the company and the credit score, the number of transaction customers, the number of transactions, the number of items, the transaction volume, and the transaction period as features, Lightgbm. Using the Graph Neural Network as an industrial cluster classification model, the export live index which expresses the exportable capacity among companies, items, and business groups was calculated. This includes the past activity of the company from the current calculating index Objectivity.

The of purpose of this study is to predict export and import container volumes using a Decision Tree analysis. Factors which can influence the volume of container cargo are selected as independent variables; producer price index, consumer price index, index of export volume, index of import volume, index of industrial production, and exchange rate(won/dollar). The period of analysis is from january 2002 to December 2011 and monthly data are used. In this study, CRT(Classification and Regression Trees) algorithm is used. The main findings are summarized as followings. First, when index of export volume is larger than 152.35, monthly export volume is predicted with 858,19TEU. However, when index of export volume is between 115.90 and 152.35, monthly export volume is predicted with 716,582TEU. Second, when index of import volume is larger than 134.60, monthly import volume is predicted with 869,227TEU. However, when index of export volume is between 116.20 and 134.60, monthly import volume is predicted with 738,724TEU.

본 자료에서는 1998년과 2017년의 수출유사도지수 변화를 파악함으로써 북한의 수출상품이 어떠한 소득수준의 국가와 유사한지 알아보았다. 1998년 수출유사도지수는 한국, 홍콩, 태국, 중국, 일본 순으로 높았으며 2017년에는 미얀마, 모로코, 튀니지, 방글라데시, 스리랑카 순으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 단편적인 비교일 수 있으나, 1998년 북한의 수출 품목은 한국과 2017년에는 미얀마와 가장 유사하다고 해석 가능하다. 이어서 1998년과 2017년 북한의 수출품목의 비중변화를 관찰한 결과 광물성연료(HS 27)의 수출비중이 가장 크게 증가하였으며, 의류(HS 62), 광·슬래그·회(HS 26), 과실(HS 08), 의류(HS 61)가 뒤를 이었다. 반대로 2017년 1998년에 비해 수출비중이 가장 크게 감소한 품목으로는 전기기기(HS 85), 원자로·기계류(HS 84), 식물(HS 12), 플라스틱과 제품(HS 39), 인조스테이플 섬유(HS 55)이다. 비교분석을 위해 북한과 수출유사도지수가 가장 높은 10개 국가의 수출품목 비중 변화 역시 살펴보았는데, 자세한 품목의 비중변화는 부록의 <부표 1~10>에서 확인할 수 있다. 1998년과 2017년 각각 수출유사도지수가 가장 높았던 한국과 미얀마의 수출품목 변화는 특히 주목할 만하다. 전기기기(HS 85)의 수출이 한국에서는 가장 크게 증가한 반면, 북한에서는 가장 크게 수출이 감소한 상품이었으며, 미얀마의 경우 광물성연료(HS 27), 의류(HS 62), 광·슬래그(HS 26)의 수출이 증가한 것으로 드러난다.

This paper is an attempt to analyze the comparative advantage of Busan Port to China. For this, we use the market comparative advantage index, which is a version of the revealed comparative advantage index. The market comparative advantage index (MCA) uses trade patterns to identify the sectors in which a region has a comparative advantage, in this case by comparing Busan Port's trade profile with the world average (China). The indices are calculated at the commodity level of the HS four-digit classification. The export data used in this study are obtained from the Korea International Trade Association. Exports to China accounted for almost one third of Korean exports in 2014. There are, however, structural differences among the main export items of Busan Port. This paper, therefore, employs MCA indices to reveal the behaviors of the ten main export items, which are "HS3920-other plates/sheets/film/foil of plastics," "HS7606-aluminum plates/sheets/strip," "HS8479-unspecified machines/medical appliances," "HS8486-machines for semiconductor devices or wafers," "HS8529-parts for transmission apparatus for television," "HS8703-motor vehicles for the transport of persons," "HS8708-parts of motor vehicles," "HS9001-optical fibers," and "HS9013-liquid crystal devices." The study shows that export competitiveness of nine items increases, the exception being HS8703. However, China's import ratios of seven of the nine items for which the MCA indices go up are on the decrease, which means that it would be hard to expand the export market for these seven items, despite the higher MCA indices. Since the shares of the port's total exports to China of HS3907, HS8486, HS8529, HS9001, and HS9013 in total exports to China increase together with China's import ratio decreasing, these items may have promising export markets. MCA increases of HS7606 and HS8479 are attributable to China's lower import ratio, rather than a higher export share, so higher MCA indices do not guarantee higher export competitiveness for these items.

This study aims at analysing the export competitiveness of the six largest countries which have the highest market share in world automobile market, namely Japan, USA, China, Germany, South Korea and France for the last seven years between 2000 and 2006 in Chinese automobile market by using revealed comparative advantage index(RCA), comparative advantage index by country (CAC) and exporting similarity index(ESI). On analysis of the RCA index, it showed that the export competitiveness of Korean automobile in the world market was high following Japan and Germany, but it ranked the lowest competitiveness among the six trade competitors in Chinese automobile market. In other side, it is also made sure that the formidable competitors of Korean automobile export in global market are Germany and Japan. Therefore, South Korea needs to raise its ability to adjust to improvement of the international competitiveness in exports through close cooperation between government and automobile export enterprise and consistent monitoring about Chinese automobile industry and market.

Recently, due to the worsening global economic recession, Korea which is a small, export-oriented economy has decreased exports and the domestic economy also continues to stagnate. Therefore, for continued growth of our economy through export growth, we need to analyze the validity of export support system such as export insurance and prepare ways to expand exports. This study is to investigate the effects of Export Insurance on the exports of SMEs as well as LEs. For this purpose, this study conducted Time Series Analysis using data such as export, export insurance acquisition, export price index, exchange rate, and coincident composite index(CCI). First, as a result of the Granger Causality Test, the exports of LEs has found to have a causal relationship with the CCI, and CCI is to have a causal relationship with the short-term export insurance record. Second, the results of VAR analysis show that the export insurance acquisition result and the export price index have a positive effect on the exports of LEs, while the short - term export insurance has a negative effect on the exports of LEs. Third, as a result of variance decomposition, the export of LEs has much more influenced for mid to long term by the short-term export insurance acquisition compared to SMEs. Fourth, short-term export insurance has a positive effect on exports of SMEs. In order to activate short-term export insurance against SMEs, it is necessary to expand support for SMEs by local governments. This study aims to suggest policy implications for establishing effective export insurance policy by analyzing the effects of export insurance on the export of SMEs as well as LEs. It is necessary to carry out a time series analysis on the export results according to the insurance acquisition results by industry to measure the export support effect of export insurance more precisely.

Following the recent US trade deficit, the trade war began between Korea and Japan in July. Korea's trade dependence is about 60% or more, indicating high export dependence and import dependence. The purpose of this study is to examine export amount, export volume, export price index, Treasury bond interest rate and analyze how index affects export amount. This study attempts to analyze the comovement and volatility with export amount. For this purpose, monthly data for each indicator were selected for a total of 234 months from January 2000 to June 2019. As a result of analysis, exports amount and exports volume showed very high comovement, exports amount and interest rates showed low comovement, but exports amount and exports prices showed very low comovement. In the future, Korea should continue to increase exports amount in view of its high dependence on trade, along with policies to expand the domestic market. To this end, strategy to increase exports volume should be presented. Korea should increase the logistics environment and competitiveness of each port and airport, improve domestic and overseas network construction and support services of logistics companies.

본고에서는 우리나라의 수출수요함수(輸出需要函數) 추정(推定)에 있어서 1) 통상적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 수출단가지수(輸出單價指數) 대신 수출물가지수(輸出物價指數)를 이용하고, 2) 공적분(共積分)벡터의 추정에 있어서 Engle and Granger(EG)의 정태적(靜態的) OLS 대신 효율적(效率的) 추정법(推定法)(efficient estimator)을 이용하여 수출(輸出)의 소득(所得) 및 가격탄성치(價格彈性値)를 추정(推定)하고자 하였다. 추정결과(推定結果) 소득탄성치(所得彈性値)는 어느 경우에나 큰 차이가 없었으나 가격탄성치(價格彈性値)에 있어서는 큰 차이가 발견되었다. 즉 수출단가(輸出單價)를 EG방법(方法)으로 추정(推定)한 경우에는 비탄력적(非彈力的)인 것으로, 수출물가(輸出物價)를 이용한 경우에는 단위탄력성(單位彈力性)을 갖는 것으로, 그리고 효율적(效率的) 추정법(推定法)을 이용한 경우에는 매우 탄력적(彈力的)인 것으로 판명되었다. 또 EG 방법을 이용한 경우에는 공적분관계(共積分關係)의 존재가 부정되었으나 효율적(效率的) 추정법(推定法)을 이용한 경우에는 유의(有意)한 공적분관계(共積分關係)가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다.
