In 1990s, both development of internet and digital economy would make new products such as digital goods. Recently, digital goods composed of softwares, digital contents, and digital services have grown up rapidly in the world market. Characteristics of goods and transaction forms in the international trade of digital goods is different from those of traditional goods. Thus, this difference would appear a new risk that did not exist in the international trade of traditional goods. Identification and confirmation about unique export risks of digital goods would be necessary to the increase of export of digital goods needs; however, in spite of the importance, very few studies have been based on the export risks of digital goods particularly in research on the relationships between export risk management and export performance. This study classifies the types of export risks based on the previous studies, and examines the relationship between both management and identification of export risks.

Digital goods are defined as intangible and non-physical goods, composed of a combination of digital signals, electronically represented as 0 and 1. They are also called as digital products, electronic transmissions, information goods, digital contents, computer information, etc. Digital goods are now traded both domestically and internationally as well as on-line and off-line. Korean government revised the Basic Law on Foreign Trade to include digital goods and services as the scope of foreign trade in 2001. Trade volume of digital goods are increasing in Korea. The supply chains of digital goods from producing the components to selling globally to consumers are different from conventional physical goods. Mostly, digital goods are traded on the license basis rather than ownership contract. End User License Agreements(EULAs), such as shrink-wrap, click- wrap, or browser-wrap licenses are very popular in online transactions. Unlike conventional physical goods. the breach of license contract is closely linked with the infringement of intellectual property rights. Digitalized intellectual property is easy to copy and transmit in the cyber space. In cases of legal disputes from the breach of license contract, commercial arbitration or on-line alternative dispute resolutions(ADRs) are regarded as better approach to solve them rather than court sues. For promoting more secure and reliable international trade of digital goods. arbitration clauses should be included in most of license contracts.

This study focuses on the risk management of "Digital Goods" appeared with the progress of information technology(IT) in international transaction. As a result of that digital goods have a lot of uncertainty between the general goods or service which have been deal with object of international transaction broadly because digital goods hold uniqueness. In this study, the author give a definition of "Digital Goods" and make an examination of uniqueness of that in international transaction. Next, six risks are defined base on risk theory and risk analysis matrix applying risk mapping model is made. Conclusionally, risk transfer as insurance is adequate to manage business risk, security risk, credit risk and legal risk. Meanwhile, risk avoidance is adequate to manage reputation risk and market risk. But, this study have following three limits. Firstly, concerning definition of the risk, real case is not applied owing to lack of transaction data. Secondly, measuring of the risk is not based on absolute data but relative data. Lastly, suggesting way of risk management is not concrete and practical to international trader of digital goods.

디지털 시대를 맞아 다양한 제품들이 디지털 형태로 출시되어 왔다. 디지털 제품 등장 초기에는 개별 디지털 파일 형태의 제품들이 등장하였고 사용자들은 각각의 제품을 개인 디바이스에 다운로드하는 방식으로 소비하였다. 네트워크 기술의 발전으로 소비자들은 '스트리밍'이라는 형태의 디지털 제품을 소비하기 시작했다. 스트리밍은 인터넷 네트워크를 통해 소비하는 '접속 기반 소비 형태'로 제공되는 서비스이다. 스트리밍 서비스의 등장으로 소비자들은 개별 파일을 다운로드하지 않고 개인 디바이스에 네트워크를 연결하여 제품과 서비스를 사용할 수 있게 되었다. 영구적인 소유가 불가능하다는 점에서 접속 기반의 디지털 제품들은 다운로드 기반 컨텐츠와 같은 전통적인 소유 기반 디지털 제품과 구별된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 개인들의 디지털 제품에 심리적 소유감이 소비 방식에 따라 어떻게 달라지는지 분석하였다. 분석 결과 개인들은 소유 기반 디지털 제품에 비해 기반 디지털 제품에 더 낮은 심리적 소유감을 느낀다는 사실을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 관련 분야에 이론적 실무적 함의를 제공한다.

Digital knowledge and information goods as experience goods have some unique characteristics such as close to zero reproduction and distribution cost, high price volatility, and low price acceptability. For the reasons, the pricing policies of digital knowledge goods are very difficult and complicate. Also, most consumers of digital goods have experienced cognitive dissonance after buying decision. The purpose of this paper is to investigate what factors affect the price acceptability level and cognitive dissonance of digital knowledge goods buyers. This paper suggest a structural model that was established by the cognitive dissonance theory and S-O-R(Stimulus-Organization-Response) model. The model is consisted of four exogenous variables and three endogenous variables. The empirical test and statistical analysis suggest following results and practical implications. The variables such as product involvement and perception of price fairness that have positive roles to price acceptability have strong influence on the all the three endogenous variables. But the variables such as sale proneness and price mavenism that have negative roles to price acceptability have little influence on the all the three endogenous variables. In the model, the payment intention was very important mediating variable between exogenous variables and two dependent variables, ie. price acceptability and cognitive dissonance. These results imply that the digital knowledge portals must have some differentiated pricing policies to the customers who have price consciousness and price mavenism. Also, they need some special promotions to whom have positive attitude to the value of digital goods.

본 논문은 구조적으로 동일한 선진경제들간의 비경쟁우위 무역에 관한 단순 2부문 일반균형모형을 제시한다. 주된 관심은 IT(정보기술) 재화 및 서비스무역이 임금격차에 미치는 영향에 집중되어 있다. 이 모형은 디지털경제에서의 임금격차가 주로 선진경제들간의 IT 재화 및 서비스무역에 기인되고 있음을 설명하고 확인한다. 특히, 이 논문은 IT 재화 및 서비스무역에 의해 숙련노동집약적인 기술재의 상대가격이 하락함에도 불구하고, 숙련노동에 대한 보수는 오히려 증가하고 있음을 보여 준다. 그 이유는 Jorgenson(2001) 교수가 경험적으로 뒷받침하고 있는 바와 같이 기술재에 대한 수요의 가격탄력성이 탄력적이기 때문이다.

This paper focuses on the phenomenon that international payment system is essential as reverse action of delivery or supply of digital goods in global transactions. In order to impose the customs duties on imported goods in global on-line transactions, the imposition of tariff by tracing the payment process when business transaction is occurring is recommended. The purpose of this study is to review the countermeasures for effective tariff imposition system by using the model of the main payment tools in global transactions. Some models reviewed in this paper are as follows : i) a model of withholding taxes at the source by the credit company ii) a model of self declaration by the importer iii)a model of registering by overseas company iv) a model of negotiating after the taxation at the export country This study is different from existing preceding research at the point of view of presenting 4 models and doing appraisal by each model. It should be done more in depth and various study on the model of the tariff imposition system about the models reviewed at this paper. Systematic and reasonable alternatives which are actually adoptable at the system should also be studied and examined carefully. Because it is required that tariff imposition system on the digital goods should be harmonized with that of traditional business in order to obtain effectiveness and rightfulness, and especially, in order to get justness for the imposition a tariff on digital goods, the process of tax imposition should be predictable and be sure to get the fairness by enhancing the equilibrium, impartiality and transparency.
