While the integration into global value chains has garnered attention as a rural development strategy, less is known about why some integrations are successful while others are not. This study draws on rent theory and on empirical examples from Jinju and Nonsan, the two biggest strawberry production regions in South Korea, to explore the mechanisms of Jinju creating and exclusively retaining monopoly rents from the exports. Based on five months of fieldwork and in-depth interviews with stakeholders, the findings show that a producer-driven chain integration into the overseas markets was possible in Jinju due to the natural barriers to entry based on an exportable variety, as well as the region's climate conditions being suitable to the variety. Moreover, the farmers have attempted to retain the monopoly rents and extra profits from public supports by associating producers. The horizontally associated farmers stabilized their positions by enhancing their bargaining power against exporters, as well as by managing access to the public supports by controlling memberships.

It is needed to transfer the technology actively which has already developed to improve a up-to-date technology and foster the technological innovation. The technology transfer also can bring about a commercial success. To promote the technology transfer, it is needed to develop a new technology valuation model for a specific technology from a objective point of view, as well as to equip an institution such as the technology transfer center. The technology valuation from a objective point of view is of importance as the basic information for the price negotiation between a technology-buyer and a technology-seller. This paper takes aim at investigating a new technology valuation model and developing a technology valuation system for promoting the technology transfer. A new technology valuation system is developed as a Web-enabling base. Using this users are able to estimate the value of a specific technology on a real time efficiently.

Traditionally, the feasibility of the private investment is determined by NPV(Net Presented Value) based on DCF(Discounted Cash Flow) and the volume of government's subsidiary without quantifying the effect of overturn share ratio and MRG(Minimum Revenue Guarantee), these variables which can seriously effect on the economic feasibility. One of the most important reasons why these variables are not underestimated is that the quantifying methods are insufficiently or so complicatedly studied to apply practically the real project. Therefore, this study suggests the modified binominal option model to estimate the overturn share ratio and MRG and estimates how much these variables impact the private investment. Also, these results are helpful to estimate how much the government's subsidiary can be reduced.

기후변화협약이 지난 2월16일 교토의정서의 발효로 새로운 국면을 맞이하게 되었다. 선진국들의 감축활동의 본격시작, EU의 배출권거래의 시작, CDM/JI사업을 통한 크레딧 확보를 인한 탄소기금의 형성 등 이제는 기후변화협약의 협상에 대한 논의에서 온실가스 감축을 위한 실질적인 이행이 시작되고 있다. 이산화탄소가 거래수단이 되는 새로운 경제체제가 만들어지고 있는데, 온실가스 감축실적이 양(+) 또는 음(-)의 추가적인 경제가치를 가지게 된다. 신재생에너지는 높은 초기투자비용에 의한 어려움을 가지고 있는데, 기후변화협약과 이에 의한 CDM사업의 활성화로 새로운 기회를 맞이하게 되었다. 신재생에너지 부문은 고유가와 온실가스 크레딧의 수요 증대로 시장의 수요와 기회가 증대되고 있지만, 이에 대하여 국내 입장에서 검토하여보고 이러한 기회가 어떤 의미를 가지게 되는지를 되짚어 보고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to estimation of Technical Barriers of Trade(TBT) between Korea and China. TBT is one of the key issues in which both governments are interested since the Korea-China FTA negotiations had launched in 2012. In this paper, we aggregate nine country HS codes from World Bank and AIO codes from JETRO. Our estimation model based on modified price wedge approach differentiate previous researches in the sense that it covers all manufacture industries and uses nine country data set. Estimation results confirm the importance of TBT showing that TBT high ranking items significantly overlap high ranking export items. We also find that the size of Chinese TBT are much larger than that of Korean TBT, implying that Korean government needs smart and well prepared strategy for key items in TBT/FTA negotiation with Chinese government.

This study is design to provide basic directions that Korea can take in forestry negotiation of Korea- Vietnam FTA. Trade trends and characteristics of forestry sector are figured out and the competitiveness of main products are analyzed. The trade amount between Korea and Vietnam is $207,260 thousand. Korea exports nontimber products to Vietnam, while she mainly imports wood products. The average import value of wood products during recent five years accounts for 88% of all value from Vietnam. The export items are not various, and the export value is small. The amount of imports, however, which are mainly composed of low price wood products, is relatively big. The results of analysis say that three items of Korean forest products have competitiveness, while Vietnam has eleven items. According to the study it is recommended that a sawn wood and a plywood should be classified as sensitive products to minimize and to take a long term tariff reduction.

The goal of international development projects is to assist sustainable development in recipient countries through foreign aid from donor countries. However, despite the need for both countries to negotiate and work together from the initial stages to maintain sustainability after the project, clear guidelines or standards have not been established. Additionally, despite the need for donor countries, which are relatively advanced, to understand the situation of recipient countries, many projects are donor-centric and fail to prioritize the value of sustainability. Therefore, this study extracted economic, social, and environmental risks that threaten sustainability through literature review and proposed a sustainability framework based on these criteria. To validate framework, actual international development cases conducted by advanced donor countries such as Australia, the United States, and Japan, in collaboration with South Korea, were analyzed by applying content analysis with the reports, which covers the overall contents from the planning stage to the operation stage. Analysis of sustainability perspectives focused on economy, society and the environment, advanced donor countries emphasized (1) the importance of pre-assessment, (2) the need for coordination with the local population and communities despite the existence of donor-specific values, and (3) addressing economic considerations such as pre-operational and maintenance costs, social communication with the local population, and environmental considerations starting from the initial stages of construction regarding the treatment of pollutants as values to be improved. Compared to other advanced donor countries, the Republic of Korea should also focus on consultation with local residents to achieve social integration, and improve sustainability by deployment the managers in local sites for better negotiation.The proposed framework in this study will serve as a tool to enhance communication among the countries and the locals, with the expectation of increasing project efficiency and sustainability.

To promote the commercialization of high technology based start-up company, it is essential to activate technology trading for the Innovative Small & Medium companies which eager to acquire technology competitiveness through technology trading and facilitate financial system which provide Small & Medium companies with technology commercialization money. This study focus on enhancing credibility of technology valuation solutions through the improvement of the existing technology valuation solutions. The existing technology valuation solutions in practice have deficiency in reasonable valuation because of subjective technology factor's calculation. And the commercialization risk of high technology based start-up companies cannot be fully reflected in the existing valuation solutions. The high risk of technology commercialization acts as a hurdle in the facilitation of providing money for the start-up companies. The improved new model will have more acceptable objectivity and reasonably reflect the commercialization risk of start-up companies. The new model has two distinctive features compared to existing solutions. The new model newly adopts commercialization success factor which reflects the risk of high technology based start-up company. And the new model excludes technology factor which is controversial among interested parties. The exclusion of technology factor will improve the objectivity of technology valuation and the adoption of commercialization success factor will solicit investor and capitalist who concern the high risk of technology based start-up companies. In conclusion, the improved new model is expected to activate technology trading and facilitate the money market through which high technology based start-up companies raise commercialization money.
