국가의 정보화 수준은 해당 국가의 경쟁력에 중요한 영향을 미치는 기본 인프라로써 경제성과에 영향을 미친다. 세계화의 확산과 함께 전자 무역 등 정보화 관련 경제활동이 점차 활발해 지며 국가 ICT의 중요성은 더욱 커지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 정보화 수준을 접근, 이용 그리고 활용 능력 세 가지 차원으로 세분화하여 국가의 경제적인 성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 특히, 국가의 경제발전 단계에 따라 정보화 수준의 경제적 영향력의 차이를 분석하여 선진국과 개발도상국의 국제 정보격차(digital divide)를 효과적으로 해소할 수 있는 방안을 도출하고자 하였다. 나아가 정부의 규제와 각국의 기업이 갖는 국제시장에서 경쟁 우위의 원천이 국가의 ICT가 가져오는 경제적 영향력에 대하여 조절적 역할을 수행하는지 검증하고자 하였다. International Telecommunication Union(ITU)의 ICT development Index(IDI)와 World Economic Forum(WEF), World bank에서 데이터를 수집하여 패널분석을 실시한 결과, 국가의 정보화 수준은 접근과 활용 측면에서 경제성장에 일관되게 유의미한 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 개발도상국의 경우 영향력이 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 정보화 수준과 경제성장의 관계에 대하여 선진국의 경우 기업의 경쟁우위가, 개발도상국의 경우 정부의 규제가 유의하게 조절효과를 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과에 따른 시사점에 대하여 논의하였다.

Recently, Southeast Asian people, its food, natural sceneries and so on have been increasingly exposed to Korean people through mass media and multi-cultural events. At the same time, Koreans can frequently encounter Southeast Asians in their everyday lives. Thus, specific images and discourses of Southeast Asia has been established in our society, which creates a new social trend called 'Southeast Asia phenomena'. In short, 'Southeast Asia phenomena' means a totality of Korean people's experience of Southeast Asian and their perception on the region. On the one hand, 'Southeast Asia phenomena' is a result of inflow of Southeast Asians and their culture into Korea. On the other hand, it is also a consequence of Korean people's understanding of Southeast Asia from their trip to Southeast Asia or from their interactions with Southeast Asian people. This article aims to analyze the origin and diffusion of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' in Korea in the context of Southeast Asia focusing on 4 topics, that is, migrant workers, overseas investments, retirement migration, study-abroad categorized as human movement. This article is also about a country-by-country comparative analysis both at the macro level and the micro level. At the macro level, overseas investments and trade, human exchanges, positive perception to Koreans which considered to be the structural causes become a strong mechanism playing a important bridge role between Korea and Southeast Asia. So these create the high probability of the emergence of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' At the micro level which is more direct causes of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena', the economic cause is the most important common cause for 4 Southeast Asian Phenomena. Additionally, Korean wave is also remarkable common cause creating 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' even it is not the origin in the context of Southeast Asia. The diffusion of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' is different by the topics and the elements contributing to create the favorable situation for the diffusion are not only overseas investments and trade, human exchanges at the macro level but also policy elements at the micro level. The relative differences of the causes of 'Southeast Asian Phenomena' in the country-by-country analysis are found. Regarding overseas investments in Vietnam and Cambodia, the economic degree of freedom in Cambodia is higher than in Vietnam. Even Korean Wave has had the longer history in Vietnam, but the favorable perspectives on Korean Wave are stronger in Cambodia. For migrant workers from Vietnam and Indonesia, the economic causes in Vietnam are more significant than in Indonesia. The impact of Korean Wave is stronger in Vietnam than in Indonesia. In case of study-abroad, the social-cultural elements and policy elements are more diverse in Malaysia than in Korea. For the Korean retirees who immigrate to the Philippines and Malaysia, the economic causes in the Philippines is more significant in Malaysia.

본 연구의 목적은 캄보디아와 베트남의 국가위험도와 영향요인들을 비교 분석하는 것이다. OECD와 한국수출입은행 모두 베트남보다는 캄보디아의 국가위험도를 더 높게 평가하고 있다. 국가위험도 분류에 따른 각각의 평가요소들에 대해 모수검정을 실시한 결과, 정치 사회적 위험 지표인 부패지수, 경제적 위험 중 국내경제 지표인 경제성장률, 경제적 위험 지표 중 대외거래 지표들, 경제적 위험 중 외채 관련 지표가 두 국가 간의 국가위험도 차이에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 국가위험도 분류에 따른 평가요소별 모수검정 결과를 토대로 판별요인 분석을 통해 두 국가 간의 국가위험도를 가장 잘 나타내는 요인들을 추가로 추정한 결과, 정치 사회적 위험 지표인 부패지수, 경제적 위험 중 국내경제 지표인 경제성장률, 경제적 위험 중 외채 관련 지표인 외환보유액/월평균수입이 캄보디아와 베트남 간의 국가위험도 차이를 잘 대변하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 캄보디아가 국가위험도를 베트남 수준으로 낮추기 위해서는 무엇보다도 부패척결, 수출증대 등 대외거래 확대가 필요하다고 할 것이다. 베트남 또한 지속적인 경제성장 달성과 외환보유고 증대에 주력할 필요가 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 선진국의 최소품질표준 설정과 국가 간 상호인정협정의 경제적 효과를 파악하고, 이를 기반으로 우리나라의 최적 상호인정협정 체결 전략을 분석한다. 이를 위하여 3개국의 대표기업이 서로 다른 품질의 제품을 선진국 시장에 공급하는 모형을 설정하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 선진국 최소품질표준의 상승은 경쟁 상황을 심화시켜 모든 기업의 이윤을 감소시키며 선진국 소비자 효용을 증대시킨다. 또한, 최소품질표준으로 인하여 기업이 시장에서 퇴출된다면 경쟁은 완화되고 남은 기업들의 품질과 이윤은 늘어난다. 둘째, 최소품질표준을 적용을 받게 되는 국가들은 상호인정협정 체결을 통하여 사회후생을 증가 시킬 수 있으며, 서로 다른 국가들 간 상호인정협정 체결의 전략적 활용이 중요하다는 결론을 얻을 수 있다. 특히 우리나라의 경우 선진국과 상호인정협정을 체결하거나 3국 모두 상호인정협정을 체결하지 않는 상황이 최적으로 나타난다.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate methodological and theoretical problems in measuring the acquisition of national identity of in-country and over-seas Korean adolescents. The subjects consisted of 344 in-country and 89 over-seas (total 433) adolescents. 14 to 26 years of age. Data were collected with the use of two questionnaires. The Cognition of National Characteristics(CNC) and The Measure of National Belongings(MNB). As statistical measures. F-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used. The results are disclosed as follows; 1) The concept of national identity organized not only cognition of the national characteristics in multi-dimension which is related each other, but also a sense of belonging. 2) Two measuring methods(CNC and MNB) for this study are closely related. 3) Overseas Korean adolescents performed more than in-country Korean adolescents in 5 sub-national characteristics(language, social norm, history of the nation, & breaking with ideological thinking) except the consanguinity, of CNC and MNB. Crisis hypothesis was supposed as alternative factor to explain that overseas Korean adolescents cognified about the national characteristics and feel a sense of belonging more than the in-country respondents. 4) Some demographic variables, such as age of the respondents, place of birth, level of understanding Korean language, are contributed to acquiring national identity.

Purpose - This study is to examine the effect of Korean Wave (Hallyu) towards consumer purchase intention of Korean Product in Indonesia. In addition, this study also investigates the image of Korea whether it can give an impact on Indonesian consumers' intention to purchase Korean Products. Research design, data, and methodology - A total of 227 respondents from Indonesian consumers were collected using online surveys. The results from this survey were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) to identify each of the factors. Multiple regression and process analysis (designed by Andrew F. Hayes) were conducted to test the hypotheses. Results - This research found that 'Korean Wave', 'Ethnocentrism', and 'Country-of-Origin Image' significantly affected consumer purchase intention towards Korean Products in Indonesia, while 'Country Image' on the purchase intention was not significant affected the purchase intention. Conclusions - Study findings provide useful information for business practitioners and government to develop and maintain the use of Korean Wave in the business and marketing fields. By only referring to the image of country, it will be difficult for the consumers to decide whether they want to purchase the products or not. In other words, the favorable image of Korea, usually represented by high level of industrialization and economy, is more likely to be enhanced by favorable image of product and Korean cultural wave.

Intra-industry trade (IIT) has played an important role in international trade of Vietnam as a result of rapid growth of the country. This article investigates the level of IIT between Vietnam and 11 trading partners in Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) over the period 2000-2014. Although there have been a large number of empirical researches contributed to the determinants of IIT, most of them only pay attention on developed countries where the trade flows are similar due to similar demand structure and production technology. Until now, there is no study on intra-industry trade between Vietnam and countries in TPP that Vietnam recently signed a trade agreement in early 2016. IIT is measured by the Grubel-Lloyd index. The index shows that the extent of intra-industry trade between Vietnam and the trading countries is not high due to the level of economic development and the market size. The determinants of IIT are examined using a panel regression model. In the empirical analysis, the results indicate that Vietnam's intra-industry trade is positively correlated with country size, while it is negatively correlated with income dissimilarity, the trade openness, and geographical distance. This study contributes to the new theoretical trade theory on the evidence of developing country's IIT.

This research uses a panel data set of selected developed and emerging economies to investigate the relationship between firm value and the Islamic label. A low-debt company is a proxy for excellent governance, and good governance has a significant positive impact on a company's valuation. We can claim that the Islamic label may also be a proxy for excellent governance and will significantly impact a company's economic value because it reflects low debt Sharia-compliant companies. To explore this relationship, cross-country data from non-financial enterprises in Pakistan, the United States, Malaysia, and Indonesia was acquired from 2010 to 2015. The study's findings indicate that the Islamic label has a positive significant impact on the firm's worth in the whole sample, including all countries. With the exception of the United States, we have also collected the same information at the country level. We also discovered that the corporate governance index at the firm level has a positive significant impact on firm value. The findings show that the Islamic label reflects good governance and hence can be used as a proxy for good governance. The analysis differentiates between Islamic labeled and conventional enterprises in developed and emerging nations, adding to our understanding of who contributes to enhanced corporate financial performance.
