This study aims to analyze the interregional trade and industrial linkage between the Incheon regional economy and the rest of the nation. An interregional input-output table developed by the Bank of Korea's Incheon branch(2007) was employed for this. The analysis of interregional trade shows that Incheon regional economy is strongly interrelated with Seoul and Gyeonggi regional economies. The Incheon's interregional relationship with other regions was analyzed in terms of output dependency rate, output inducement rate, backward linkage, and forward linkage. The results indicated that while the output of Incheon is more dependent on final demands in Seoul and Gyeonggi, changes of the final demand in Incheon cause more output in the rest of nation than that in Seoul and Gyeonggi. Also, while Incheon's backward linkage to Seoul and Gyeonggi is weaker than that to the rest of nation, Incheon's forward linkage to Seoul and Gyeonggi is stronger than that to the rest of nation.

Although growth potential of trade between Korea and the GCC region has existed in various fields through economic and business cooperation, few data and practical study related with trade structure and cooperation between Korea and GCC region have been found and the potential for further economic expansion has not been extensively explored. In this sense, this study is to analyze trade flows between Korea and GCC region countries(Saudi Arabia, Unites Arab Emirates, Qatar) using trade intensity index, trade complementarity index and special country bias index, identify potential for further expansion of Korea's trade into the GCC region and further propose the implication of FTA between mutual countries. Our analysis of trade flows also demonstrates that there is a high level of trade complementarity between Korea and GCC region. It means that increase of trade complementarity and special country bias come from removing not only trade barrier and increasing but also capital movement. Especially, the study reveals that there is an untapped potential for Korea to increase its exports to Saudi, based on the highest complementarities. Export expansion between Korea and Saudi through FTA will create new opportunity in near future.

This study aims to examine how institutions has been formed to deepen interdependence and to keep check in trade on the border regions of East Sea Rim between the macro structure and micro behaviors. The transitional nations such as China, Russia, and North Korea adjacent to the East Sea Rim exhibits unique characteristics in terms of transaction governance structure. While the regional economy in northeast China is still overwhelmed by the stated-owned enterprises(SOEs), it strongly encourages the private economic trade to form institutional economy through the border trade port and peddler trade market. Thus trade is shaped by the mixed governance. In far east Russia, whereas the SOEs are in charge of exporting oil, gas etc., private firms and small scale traders are importing household items, so that it can also be called as the mixed governance, while informal social networks simultaneously work. In North Korea, for the trade, since the firms are mainly required to have the permits from the different levels of government, it is regarded as the hierarchical governance. The institutional economics seems to well explain the changing agencies and their influence on the trade among the regions in the East Sea Rim.

This paper examines the characteristics of structural change in the international agro-food trade network with a global trend of the FTA diffusion. By focusing on the centralities and the community structure to identify the agro-food trade network, we use the social network analysis and the trade data contained of 07, 08, 20, and 21 at the 2-digit HS product level among 45 countries over the last 15 years. The main analytical results are as follows: 1) Not only has intra trade network intensified more than inter-regional trade, but also, there is no doubt that inter-regioanl trade by linking has steadily increased. 2) EU countires have the high indices of centrality, which have already been highly integrated. 3) Intraregional agro-food trade network for fresh vegetables and processed food sector in Asia is shown to be strongly integrated. This finding suggests that the processes of economic integration will help strengthen the trade network for agro-food in a culturally homogeneous region. 4) The case of Korea's participation in the RCEP and TPP, Korea's power in the agro-food network tends to be reinforced, especially in the processed food sector. Overall, there is a need for establishment of spatial strategies and policies across the different regions for Mega FTAs.

1998~2017년 북한의 교역을 관측한 결과, 북한의 대중 교역 비중은 꾸준히 증가하여 2017년에는 그 비중이 94.8%까지 높아진 것으로 관찰됐다. 즉, 동기간의 북한의 대중국 교역 의존도가 급증한 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 이러한 북한의 대중국 교역 의존도가 북한만의 특이한 교역 구조인지 확인하기 위해 본고는 ① 전세계, ② 아시아, ③ 중국 접경 국가를 비교군으로 설정하여 시계열 및 횡단면 비교를 각각 실시하였다. 먼저 시계열로 비교한 결과 1998~2017년 전 기간 동안 북한은 전세계, 아시아, 중국 접경 국가 보다 대중국 교역의존도가 현저히 높았던 것으로 나타났다. 또한 북한은 대중국 교역의존도 증가 추세 역시 가장 가파른 국가로 확인됐다. 예를 들어, 1998년 북한의 대중국 교역 의존도는 24.8%, 아시아 지역의 대중국 교역 의존도는 6.5%로 북한이 아시아 지역에 비해 약 3.8배 높았으나, 2017년의 경우 북한 94.8%, 아시아 19.4%로 약 4.9배 더 높은 것으로 나타나 지난 20년 동안 북한의 대중국 교역 의존도가 다른 전세계 국가들에 비해 가파르게 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로 중국 접경 국가군에 소속된 개별 국가와 비교한 결과, 북한 다음으로 대중국 교역 의존도가 높고, 가파르게 증가한 국가는 몽골과 미얀마인 것으로 관찰된다. 그러나 몽골, 미얀마는 북한에 비해서 대중국 교역 의존도 증가 추세는 상대적으로 완만하다. 다음으로, 본고에서 설정한 최종 관측연도인 2017년 한해에 대해 횡단면 비교를 실시하였다. 횡단면 비교에서는 대중국 교역 의존도를 수출입 의존도로 세분화하여 비교하고, 대중국 GDP 의존도를 추가하여 비교했다. 그 결과 2017년 북한의 대중국 수출입 의존도 모두 전세계, 아시아, 중국 접경 국가들 중 가장 높은 순위를 기록했다. 특이한 점은 북한의 대중국 교역의존도는 수출보다 수입에서 높게 나타난 반면, 북한 다음으로 대중국 교역 의존도가 높은 몽골과 미얀마의 경우 수입보다 수출의 대중국 의존도가 높게 나타났다는 점이다. 대중국 GDP 의존도의 경우 북한은 중국 접경 국가들 중 몽골과 베트남 다음으로 의존도가 높은 국가로 확인된다. 추가적으로 2017년의 북한, 몽골 및 미얀마의 교역 특징을 알아보았다. 먼저 북한, 몽골, 미얀마의 대중 교역 품목을 비교한 결과 이들 3개국 모두 공통적으로 주로 석탄, 천연가스 등의 천연자원을 중국에 수출한다는 특징을 가진다. 그러나 수입의 경우 북한은 대두유와 같은 식량류와 합성 직물, 무선 전화기 등을 주로 수입하는 반면, 몽골과 미얀마는 산업 생산에 필요한 에너지 및 부속품을 주로 수입한다는 차이점이 있었다. 다음으로, 2017년 북한과 몽골, 미얀마가 가장 많이 교역한 중국의 성(省)을 비교해본 결과, 북한은 요녕성, 몽골은 내몽고자치구, 미얀마는 운남성과의 교역이 가장 많았다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이를 통해 대중 교역 의존도가 높은 3개 국가들이 중국과 국경을 접한 성(省)과 가장 교역을 많이 한다는 특징을 확인할 수 있었다.

The Free Trade Agreement between Korea and Peru entered into force in 2011. Under the agreement, both countries will eliminated all tariffs within ten years after it takes effect. The Korea-Peru Free Trade Agreement turned out to have significantly boosted Korea's exports to the South American state, as well as its relative share in the local import market. Korea mainly imports resources such as zinc and copper, and exports such goods as passenger car and color televisions. The FTA opens up a larger market for Korean home appliances like color televisions. Korea's trade with Peru has been mainly about concentrated investment into mining and exporting limited variety of export items. This paper analyzes the recent trends of problems of trade between Korea and Peru and suggests solutions for boosting trade to provide proper strategic guidelines for Korea that are planning to expand to Peruvian market

The purpose of this study is to analyze traffic volume between the Korean container ports located at the west coast and northern Chinese ports and then the distribution trend of container between Korea and China. The findings of the study are as follows. First, Container traffic between western Korean ports and northern Chinese ports has been increasing due to an increasing trade volume between both countries and geographical accessibility. Second, Seoul and neighboring area tend to use the trade route between the western ports and northern Chinese because of lower logistics costs and time-saved advantage compared to another ports. Third, the growth of the western ports did depend mainly on the northern China oriented growth. Such a fact could leads to the overlapping investment in port development in Korea and another intense competition among national ports to attract cargoes and liners. Therefore, port development policy considering the characteristics and function of national ports have to be established. and also alternatives and strategies for improving the competitive edge of small and medium sized shipping lines against the opening of shipping market have to be worked out.
