Utilizing OECD-WTO's Trade in Value Added (TiVA) data, this study investigates the effects of economic integration (EI) on TiVA Empirical results obtained from structural gravity specifications reveal that EI increases trade between member countries, irrespective the types of exports in final goods and intermediate goods as well as foreign value added in total exports and domestic value added in total exports. The empirical results also reveal that EI does not decrease the share of domestic value added in total exports.

This study based on international input-output model shows various static analyses of the effects by estimating the intermediary goods' trade volume that affects the industrial production. When concluding tariff removal between Korea and Japan, as intermediary goods import increases, Korea's trade balance deficit with Japan is expected to grow more than before. However, Korea's increase in export to the world is the largest benefit Korea can earn from tariff removal between the two countries.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of exchange rate volatility on the export of Korean machinery intermediate goods to East Asian countries using the export demand model. In order to secure the validity of the estimation of the exchange rate volatility for the export of machinery intermediate goods, various methods of volatility measurement are used including the GARCH model, the moving average standard deviation and the 12-month fixed average standard deviation. The long-term relationship between variables was analyzed by applying the panel cointegration tests and DOLS & FMOLS panel estimations. Analysis results found that prior to the global financial crisis in 2008, the total exports of machinery and exchange rate volatility positively affect the exports of intermediate goods such as general machinery, electronic machinery and transportation equipment, but did not affect the exports of precision machinery intermediate goods. After the global financial crisis, however, exchange rate volatility negatively affected total exports and the exports of all machinery intermediate goods. When analyzing the period before and after the global financial crisis, it had a positive impact on exports of precision machinery intermediate goods and a negative effect on total exports and the exports of other machinery intermediate goods.

수출주도형 산업구조를 가지고 있는 우리 나라의 경제여건은 1960년대 초 경제개발 5개년 계획을 수립한 이래 지속적인 성장을 기록하여 왔다. 그러나 1986년도에 3저라는 국제경제여건을 호기로 삼아 국제무역수지 흑자를 기록한 이후 선진국의 보호장벽 강화, 세계적인 BLOCK 경제화, WTO 출범에 따른 국내시장 개방압력, 국내임금의 급속한 상승 등 수많은 대내외적 여건으로 인하여 우리경제의 성장에 큰 부담으로 작용하고 있다. 1994년의 경우 전체무역적자가 63억 3천만 달 러를 기록함으로써 한국경제의 계속적인 무역역조현상이 큰 문제점으로 대두되고 있고 1994년 기준으로 전체무역적자의 188%이상에 해당하는 118억 7천만 달러가 대일무역에서 발생한 대일 역조라는 사실과 최근 몇년간 대일무역적자는 다소 개선되고 있으나 전체 무역적자에서 차지하는 비중이 더욱더 높아가고 있는 것에 대한 대책이 시급한 실정이다. 이같은 대일무역적자 문제는 1960년대 이후 급속한 경제성장만을 추구하여 노동집약형 사업이 주가된 경제성장의 결과이며, 산업재, 특히 기계분야에 대한 기술축적의 부족으로 대부분의 자본재 및 중간재와 기술력에 대한 대일의존도의 심화 등에 그 원인이 있다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 점에서 수출 주도형의 한국경제 하에서는 대일무역역조 특히 기계공업분야의 역조현상은 반드시 해결해야 할 중요한 정책과제 임을 인식해야 하며, 이 글에서는 이에 대한 다각적인 대책을 검토하여 해결방안을 제시해 보 고자 한다.

As the economy grows, there is a concern that the economic development causes a productivity reduction because of the service intensive growth. However, the economy of developed countries encounter with the productivity growth as their economy grows, which phenomenon called Baumol's paradox. Oulton (1999, 2001) find out the reason of Baumol's paradox in a forward and backward chain effects. So, this paper is aimed at verifying the theory of Oulton (1999, 2001). Moreover, we test the difference effect between a consumer service and producer service input using a dummy variable. We use the Input-Output Table (1990, 1995, 2000, 2005) that is offered by the Bank of Korea to accomplish the purpose of our research that is represented above. We find out that the Korea's intermediate producer service inputs cause a multifactor productivity growth. That result is matched with the Oulton (1999, 2001)'s theory. But, the intermediate consumer service inputs don't have a significant effect on a multifactor productivity. The result of verifying the effect of intermediate producer service inputs among industries shows that the effects on manufacture industries are less than other industries.

This study investigates the relationship between mineral exports to China, North Korea's most important source of foreign currency acquisition, and its imports of various items from China from the first quarter of 1995 through to the third quarter of 2019. The results from a cointegration analysis suggest that there exists a long-run equilibrium relationship between mineral exports and imports of food, fuel, and some intermediate goods, such as industrial supplies, parts, and accessories. The results from a vector autoregression using first-differenced variables indicate that the short-run relationship between mineral exports and imports is different between the period before and after the third quarter of 2010. Prior to structural changes, i.e., before the third quarter of 2010, import shocks affected mineral exports. However, after the third quarter of 2010, an increase in mineral exports led to an increase in the import of vehicles, intermediate goods, and luxury goods. This paper shows both the possibilities and the limits that mineral exports can contribute to North Korea's economic growth. The results, which show that mineral exports have a long-run relationship with intermediate goods, such as industrial supplies, parts and accessories, imply that mineral exports to China could have a positive effect on the North Korean economy. However, the fact that mineral exports do not have any significant effect on the import of machinery and equipment, which helps the accumulation of capital formation, shows that mineral exports have a limited effect on inducing long-term growth in the North Korean economy.

This study will look at various implications of China's resumption of trade with Korea, such as trade restructuring, changes in trade policies and the impact on corporate competitiveness, and how the two countries resolved trade disputes. We will evaluate the evolution of trade between China and Korea from a historical and economic perspective, analyze how policy changes have shaped corporate strategies, and discuss how these changes have affected both countries' positions in the global economy. Through this study, we aim to provide a deeper understanding of regional economic cooperation and global economic governance and insight into future policy decisions.

This study aims to examine the effects of international trade in intermediate input on the implications of international business cycle properties in Korea. To do this, I have extended standard one goods New Keynesian international business cycle model to incorporate the role of intermediate inputs. After constructing the DSGE model, I have analysed the impulse response function and varian decomposition results. The results show that the model could introduce a new channel, that is, "cost channel" like Eyquem and Kamber (2014). In other words, the model has changed the dynamics of aggregate inflation by the cost channel. When the trade in intermediate goods increase, which is measured by openness of foreign input, the volatility of output, consumption and inflation increase two or three times. However, the model itself fails to explain the full account of cycle behavior of historical data, but the results imply that the trade in intermediate input assumption can help to improve the forecasting ability of international business cycle models.

This study analyzed the centrality of the GVCs network and the value-added-based production structure of the electrical and electronic industries using ADB-MIRO and social network analysis methods. According to the analysis, the centrality and power of the GVSc intermediate goods network were differentiated into China, the United States, and the EU due to the advancement of industrial structure in Asia. In the 2000 network, the United States and Japan had a very strong influence in all aspects, including connectivity and strength. However, in 2017, China's power index rose to number one among 62 countries in the network. Furthermore, this study presented strategic implications of the Korean electrical and electronic industries to respond to the reorganization of GVSs based on the analysis results.

산업연구원에서 발표한 '2008년 경제 및 신업전망'에 따르면 경제성장은 소비를 주축으로 한 내수 상승세가 이어지면서 금년보다 다소높은 5% 내외의 성장이 전망된다. 수출은 주요 수출시장인 개도권 경기의 호조로 약 11%의 두 자릿수 증가율이 예상되고, 연간 무역수지는 2007년에 비해 소폭 줄어든 140억 달러 정도로 전망된다. 2008년 산업분야에서는 IT가 제조업내수를 주도하며 23.3%의 매우 높은 증가율이 예상된다. 10대 주력산업의 수출은 IT산업군과 기계산업군의 고부가가치 제품 위주의 수출 증가율에 힘입어 12.6%의 높은 증가세를 유지할 것으로 전망되며, 수입증가율도 내수의 견실한 증가, 수출 호조에 따른 중간재 수입 증가, 해외 생산분의 역수입 증가 등으로 전년대비 12.3% 증가할 것으로 전망된다.
