This study porvides an empirical overview of the import patterns of Incheon port using an Engle-Granger cointegration technique and Johansen's multivariate cointegraion methodology test to check the stationarity of the model. The empirical results show that the import in Incheon port related to the economic variables. This paper also applies rolling regression to our model, indicating that import are endogeneous to the economic variable.

Pyeongtaek Port is becoming a specialized for importing or exporting cars. In 2010, Pyeongtaek Port became the major port, out of the 31 ports in Korea, for import and export of cars. Usage of this port was especially high for imported cars. In 2011, more than 1 million cars are expected to be imported or exported via Pyeongtaek Port. This research analyses the factors for selecting Pyeongtaek Port for imported cars and recommendations required to improve Pyeongtaek Port. To do this, questionnaires were given to 14 imported car companies that currently, July 2011, use Pyeongtaek Port and used AHP criteria to asses the importances of each factors. According to this research, the most important determinant for the use of Pyeongtaek Port is 'Port Location' followed by 'Port Cost', 'Port Facility', 'Port Service', 'Port Marketing' and 'Port Cargo Volume', in the order of importance. Also, imported car companies say that the factor in need for the most urgent improvement is 'Port Facilities' in Pyeongtaek Port.

Republic of Korea (ROK) log import companies have clustered around In-cheon, Jeon-buk and Busan. This reason related to port for log import. This study analyzed the quantity of Whole imported log transported by port. As the result of analysis, In-cheon port accounted for 56.9% log import, which is the maximum log import port in ROK. Next Bu-san port 20.9%, Gun-san port 17.9%. However, these port have declined the quantity of imported log transported since 2000. Gun-san port and Dong-hae port increased narrow range. The reason of why In-cheon and Bu-san port declined log import and Gun-san and Dong-hae port increased is that a sudden rise in the price of log in 2003, and import of using a container ship increased. In the addition, log import from Far eastern Russia, Germany and America increased through a container ship, however, declined log import through a bulk ship. Most of imported log at In-cheon port are from New zealand and Russia, imported logs at Bu-san port are almost from US and New zealand.

세계의 주요 자원중 하나인 원유는 산업의 가장 기초적인 부분을 담당하고 있다. 대한민국은 대표적인 원유수입국이며 원유 자원 등을 수입을 하지 못한다면 내수 및 가공후 수출에 큰 위험으로 다가온다. 그렇기에 원유 수입 등의 액체화물 수입이 필수적이다. 차별성을 두기위해 액체화물 항만간의 경쟁을 확인하고자 울산, 대산, 여수광양항을 선정하였다. 항만들은 석유화학단지를 보유하고 있는 항만이며 원유는 수입후 정제를 통해 석유정제품, 화학생산공업품의 물품을 생산한다. 시계열 데이터를 이용한 VAR 모형을 이용하였다. 이를 수행하기 위해 단위근 검정을 실시하였으며 토다 야마모토 인과 검정을 통한 항만간의 관계를 확인하였다.

There has been abundant empirical research undertaken on the technical efficiency of Korean ports. Most studies have focused on the use of parametric and non-parametric techniques to analyse overall technical efficiency. This paper utilizes data for the period 2000-07 to offer a heterogeneous perspective on the overall efficiency of Korean ports. The framework assumes that ports use one input to produce one output; the output and input include port export(import) and regional export(import). This paper also employs panel analysis and heteroscedastic Tobit model to show the effect of the explanatory variables on the port efficiencies. The panel analysis shows that the regional export/total export has negative effect on the export efficiency while the regional import/total import has not any relations with the import efficiency. The heteroskedastic Tobit model shows that both regional export ratio and regional import ratio have negative effects on the efficiency while the gross regional domestic product has not any significant relations with the import efficiency.

Pyeongtaek·Dangjin port handles the largest volume of finished vehicles in Korea, including more than 95% of imported cars. However, since the volume of imported cars has been stagnant since 2015, officials planning to invest in port development or automobile-related industries must make new forecasts. Economic variables such as the GDP often have been used in predicting automobile volume, but prior research showed that the impact of these economic variables on automobile volume I has been gradually decreasing in developed countries. These variables remain important predictors, however, in developing countries that experience rapid economic growth. In this study, predicting the volume of imported passenger cars at Pyeongtaek·Dangjin port, the decreasing Korean population was a major factor we considered. Our forecast showed that the volume of imported passenger cars at Pyeongtaek·Dangjin port will gradually decrease -by 2021. The Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) verification was performed to measure the accuracy of the predicted results, and the scenario analysis was performed on the share of imported passenger cars.

This paper examines the relationship between port import from China and macroeconomic variables such as international financial crisis, exchange rate, and industrial production during the period 2000-2009. I employ GPH cointegration methodology since the model must be stationary to avoid the spurious results. The empirical results show that our model is stationary as well as mean-reverting. This paper also applies impulse-response functions to get additional information regarding the responses of the port import to the shocks economic variables such as financial crisis, exchange rate, and industrial production. The results show that the response of port import to exchange rate and financial crisis declines at the first and dies out slowly.

인천항은 한국의 주요항만의 하나로 원자재 수입 화물을 취급하는 항만이다. 수입 원자재 가운데 대두박 같은 사료 부 원료의 취급 시 강한 바람, 차량의 이동 저장시설에서의 상하차 등에 의해서 다량의 비산 먼지가 발생하며 이것이 주된 비산 먼지로 인천항만 주위의 주요 오염원이 되고 있는 실정이다. (Jeon et al.,2000) (중략)

This paper investigates the determinants of trade on Southeast Asia via Korean ports using monthly data. I employ Johansen cointegration methodology since the model must be stationary to avoid the spurious results. Johansen(1988) and Johansen and Juselius(1990) propose two statistics for testing the number of cointegrating vectors: the trace and maximum eigenvalue statistics. The null hypothesis that there is no cointegrating vector should be rejected at the 5% level. The results indicate that there is a long-run relationship between trade and variables. This also suggests that these variables have a meaningful equilibrium relationship between trade and variables would not move too far away from each other, displaying a comovement phenomenon for the export and import. Apparently, the error correction term reflects market information in a state of disequilibrium that is bound to be corrected when moving toward the long-run level.
