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.

This paper investigates the relationship between export and economic variables such as trade insurance, world economy activity, relative price, unemployment rate, exchange rate volatility, using monthly data. I employ Johansen cointegration methodology since the model must be stationary to avoid the spurious results. The results indicate that there is a long-run relationship between export and variables. Also, the empirical analysis of cointegrating vector using the CCR, DOLS, FMOLS reveals that the increases of trade insurance has positive relations and the increases of exchange rate volatility have negative relations with export. Especially, DOLS based on Monte Carlo simulations, of this estimator being superior in small samples compared to a number of alternative estimators, as well as being able not only to accommodate higher orders of integration but also to account for possible simultaneity within regressors of a potential system. This paper also applies impulse-response functions to get the additional information regarding the responses of the export to the shocks of the variables. The result indicates that export positively to trade insurance and then decay fast compare with exchange rate volatility. Consequently, trade insurance plays the role of trade policy for export promotion in Korea. Whereas, increase of exchange risk result in reduction of export. Therefore, the support of trade insurance should be expanded and the stabilization of the foreign exchange market must be done for the export promotion.

Current status on consumption and packaging of sweet persimmons in USA was surveyed by visiting the market, and three sea shipments were conducted as model export trial from Korean to USA with measurement in ship container temperature and fruit quality. Strategy to promote the export of Korean persimmons was derived. There have been gradual decrease in the price of persimmons due to their increases production, but there seems potential growth in consumption of the fruits from Asian, Hispanic and American people. Compared to the fruits from other countries, Korean persimmons are desired to have higher soluble solid content with stronger red color, but too large sizes are not favored in American market. There has often been temperature fluctuation in shipment container during the sea transport to USA, resulting in surface blackening, skin black spotting and flesh softening. Plastic bag packages with inappropriate unitizing crimping were found to sometimes build up unproper modified atmosphere (high $O_2$ and low $CO_2$) giving high rate of physiological injury.

When it comes to current balance, both of Korea and China enjoy the trade surplus in goods while both countries suffer trade deficit in service. This facts demonstrate that two countries have comparative disadvantages in service industry. In order to identify the international competitiveness of trade in service between Korea and China, several indexes such as TSI, RSCA and IMS was calculated, using the IMF's balance of payments (BOP) statistics as proxy. The results of this analysis are as follows. Korea has a comparative advantage in four sectors (Transportation services, Financial services, Royalties & license fees and Personal cultural recreation), while China has a comparative advantage in five sectors (Travel, Communication services, Insurance services, Computer & information services and Other Business services). Construction services are indeterminate. However, the competitiveness of the two sectors-communication and computer & information-which China has a comparative advantage will be transferred to Korea if some effort to reinforce the competitiveness is added because the gap is being narrowed.

Since the Korean apple industry needs to expand its export market in Southeast Asia, this study investigates the attributes of Korean apples affecting consumer preference in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. Based on an Importance-Preference analysis, the results are summarized as follows. First, price is the most important determinant for purchasing Korean apples by Southeast Asian consumers, except in Malaysia. Second, managing the intrinsic(sweetness and chewing texture) and extrinsic(surface and color) factors needs to be well maintained. Third, the priority of the marketing factor(wrapping) should be lowered. Fourth, while the importance of extrinsic factors(shape and size) is low, satisfaction is high, so these factors need to be managed to avoid overkill. Overall, Korean apples should have their own merits with an appropriate proper price, while maintaining a high quality. The results of this paper may provide suitable strategies for promoting apple exports to Southeast Asia.

Despite a quantitative increase in the export of small and medium sized businesses due to various policies supporting export that have been continually promoted by the government, the majority of export growth has been centered around conglomerates. As research has shown that export companies are superior in terms of job creation and growth compared to domestic companies, the conversion of domestic companies to export companies will not only result in job creation and increase in exports, but it will also enable the improvement of such companies. It is therefore important to support the export of small and medium sized businesses and maintain their status as export companies with supporting policies. The purpose of this study is to analyze the present state of the export environment of Korean and foreign small and medium sized businesses in order to elicit ideas for establishing strategies for the promotion of export and maintaining the status as an export company.

지난해 우리나라 자동차 수출은 74만 대를 기록하여, 전년의 64만 대에 비해 16%의 증가율을 시현했다. 또 엔고에 힘입어 금년 1-4월 기간중 자동차 수출은 34만대로 지난해 같은 기간에 비해 56%의 괄목할 증가를 보이고 있다. 따라서 큰 이변이 없는 한 1995년 연간 자동차 수출 대수는 100만대를 넘어설 것으로 보인다. 그러나 완성차 수출의 지속적인 증가와는 반대로 자 동차부품의 무역수지는 지난해에도 13억 4,000만 달러의 대폭적인 적자를 기록했다. 이는 1993 년의 8억 5,000만 달러 적자에 비해 58%가 증가한 실적으로서, 핵심기능부품의 수입의존이 여 전히 해소되지 않은 상황에서 완성차의 수출증가가 부품 수입증가를 유발시킨데 따른 결과이다. 한편, 자동차부품의 무역적자는 대일 무역적자가 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 이는 지난해 자동차 부품의 무역적자 13억 4,000만 달러 가운데 10억 달러 이상을 대일 무역적자가 차지한 데서 알 수 있다. 이 글은 우리나라 자동차부품의 무역수지 적자가 확대되고 있는 원인을 국제경쟁력의 측면에서 살펴봄으로써 부품부문의 대일 무역적자를 중심으로 한 무역수지 개선방안을 모색해 보는 데에 목적이 있다.

최근 세계는 경제블록화가 급속한 진행되는 한편 EU가입국의 확대, 중국의 WTO 가입을 비롯하여 정보통신기술의 발달에 따른 무역 패러다임의 변화 등으로 급격한 전환기를 맞이하고 있다. 이러한 무역환경의 변화에 신속히 대처하기 위해 우리나라는 폭넓은 무역지원정책을 추진하고 무역관리체계를 정비하고 있음에도 불구하고 기대만큼의 실효를 거두지 못하고 있으며, 중소기업들은 국내외 경기의 지속적인 침체로 점차 해외경쟁력을 잃어가고 있다. 수출진흥을 위한 정책지원 전략은 무역환경의 변화에 대한 정확한 인식을 바탕으로 하여 무역중소기업의 무역마케팅구조를 근본적으로 개선하는데 궁극적인 목표를 두고 현장실무지원 중심으로 체계적이고 종합적인 수출지원사업 실행방안을 마련하는 일이 우선시 되어야 할 것이다. 따라서 본고에서는 국내 수출중소기업들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 이를 바탕으로 정부 수출지원사업 활용현황과 무역진흥정책 추진에 따른 향후과제를 검토 분석해보고, 나아가 기업들과 정부 유관기관과의 협력방안을 도출하는데 있다.
