In the recent 20 years, the capital flows between Korea and European Union have increased and diversified. In particular, the business cycles of two economies have shown similar patterns since the Global Financial Crisis. This study examines both trends and investigates the roles of finance and trade on business cycle co-movements between two economies. The empirical results show that the business cycles can diverge due to either the common shocks or the country-specific shocks. Furthermore, financial integration increases the business cycle co-movements driven by both the country-specific shocks and the common shocks between two economies.

현재 세계경제는 EU, NAFTA라는 거대 지역블럭의 출현으로 지역경제통합체를 통한 국제경제 질서가 재편되고 있다. 이러한 세계 경제의 혁신적 변화인 지역경제통합을 최초로 시도한 곳은 유럽으로서 현재 경제적 통합을 넘어 단일 헌법을 통한 정치적 통합까지 추진하고 있다. 유럽의 지역경제통합은 최초의 지역통합체적 성격을 가진 유럽석탄 철강 공동체(ECSC)를 시작으로 전후 경제 발전과 평화정착을 목표로 하나의 단일 유럽경제권 창설을 추진하였다. 그리고 유럽경제공동체(EEC), 유럽공동체(EC)를 거쳐 완전한 유럽통합을 추구하는 유럽연합(EU)을 통해 세계 최대경제권으로 발전해 나가고 있다. 2001년 니스조약 이후 EU의 외연 확대정책에 따라 중 동유럽국들의 대대적인 EU가입이 이루어져 현재 회원국의 수는 27개국으로 크게 늘어났다. 이런 상황에서 중력모형을 이론적 근거로 하여 임의효과모형과 고정효과모형을 통해 중 동유럽국들이 EU에 가입함에 따른 무역창출효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 중 동유럽국들이 EU 회원국이 됨으로써 기존의 EU회원국들과 중 동 유럽국들 간 그리고 신규 회원국인 중 동 유럽국들 사이에 27.4%의 무역창출효과가 유발되는 것으로 고정효과모형을 통해 추정되었다.

The main objective of this study was to present data on the current situation and future trends of pig meat production in the European Union-27 (EU). Pig production has played an important social and economic role for centuries in many states of the EU. In 2022, pig meat production in the EU reached 23 M tons, which represented 21% of total production worldwide. The two key reasons that justify such amount of pork produced, are the acceptance and high consumption of the meat by the local population and the high quality of the meat produced which facilitated pork export. However, current data show a reduction in pork production for the last three years, as a consequence of a series of events that include i) problems with the chain of ingredients supply, ii) uncontrolled increase in African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreaks, iii) fast recovery of pig production in China, iv) increasing concerns by the rural population on the high cost to meet future requirements of the EU legislation on farm management, environmental sustainability and animal welfare, v) increased cost of all inputs involved in pig production and vi) limited interest of the new farmer generation to work on the pig sector. Consequently, pork production is expected to decrease in the EU for the next years, although sales will be maintained at a relative high level because pork is the meat preferred by local consumers in most EU countries. In order to maintain the favourable position of the pork industry in the near future, strategies to implement include: i) maintain the quality of the meat destinated to export markets, ii) improve the control of outbreaks of ASF and other swine diseases, iii) implementation of technological innovations to improve working conditions making more attractive to work in the pork sector of the food chain to the new generation of farmers and workers.

Although science continues to be a key subject in the education of the majority of young people throughout the world, it is becoming increasingly clear that school science is failing to win the hearts and minds of many of today's younger generation. Researchers have begun to look at ways in which the learning that takes place in museums, science centres and other informal settings can add value to science learning in schools. Four case studies are used to illustrate the potential afforded by informal contexts to research aspects of science learning. The case studies involve: the European Union PENCIL (Permanent European Resource Centre for Informal Learning) project (a network of 14 museums and science centres working with schools to enhance learning in maths and science); a large natural history museum in England; the Tate Modernart gallery in London, and the Outdoor Classroom Action Research Project which involved researchers working in school grounds, field centres and farms. The range of research questions that were asked are examined as are the methodological approaches taken and the methods used to collect and analyse data. Lessons learned from the studies about research in the informal contexts are discussed critically.

Synthetic color additives approved for general food use are sixteen in European Union, seven in U. S. A. and twelve in Japan. Twelve food dyes were examined for their inhibitory potency against human protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases). Half of the food colorants inhibited PTPases significantly and three of them were potent inhibitors with low micromolar IC50 values. Also examined were the synthetic dyes structurally similar but not allowed in food. Some of them were potent inhibitors of PTPases. Considering the importance of PTPases in cellular signal transduction, inhibition of PTPases by food colorants might cause harmful effects in human health.

Purpose - As economic activities between different countries have rapidly spread in a world of free trade, it is inevitable that a large volume of cargo will be carried between countries. It is natural, then, that CO2 emissions and other environmental pollutions have followed, which exposes people and society to serious environmental problems and social costs, and so on. Therefore, the need to understand logistics is not only a matter of transportation but also an environmentally oriented matter. The purpose of this study is to look at some lessons and implications from the European case in terms of green logistics matters. Research design, data, and methodology - In order to look into this matter, first, it has to be established that some cargo transport volumes using different transportation modes have clearly declined because of previous economic recessions. Some transport policies produced by the European Union (EU) are based in a long history of struggling to cope with transport matters in European countries. In its recent transport policies, the EU has provided greener transportation alternatives, realizing that pollution matters affect the European transport market. This study tries to determine what policies the EU has implemented to deal with green logistics matters. This study concentrates in particular on the Marco Polo program in the EU. Results - This study found that the EU seems to consider these kinds of matters, that is, transport and the environment in the context of green logistics. The EU launched some policy instruments to solve this matter relatively earlier than other countries and reviewed them as necessary. In order to make these policy tools work, the EU provided PACT for combined transport, and then the Marco Polo I and II European transport white paper packages. These European policies deal with green logistics matters in two ways. First, some restrictions have been imposed, especially taxation, and so on. Transport subsidies are also powerful means of handling green logistics matters in Europe. Along with these two means of dealing with transport and the environment, the EU eventually targeted integration of different transport modes. Instead of employing only a single transport instrument mode to deliver the cargo to be carried, such as trucking, rail, ocean-going carrier, flight, or inland waterway transport, the EU has proposed that combining transport modes is the best alternative for transport and the environment. That is, the EU is pursuing the adoption of multimodalism as an answer to the green logistics challenge as it provides a more cost efficient and more productive means of transport. Conclusions - In conclusion, multimodal transport should be considered when applying green logistics, as it can provide an alternative way to achieve transport and environmental solutions together at the present time. Two methods can be used to encourage multimodal transport: restrictions and subsidies. These are the lessons and implications from European green logistics policies.

세계의 모든 국가들은 국가내 지역간 경제적 격차 문제를 가지고 있으며, 특히 유럽연합(EU)의 경우 경제적 발전단계가 각기 다른 27개 회원국들로 구성되어 있어 이러한 지역간 격차문제는 더욱 심각하다고 할 수 있다. 하지만 유럽연합 초기에는 지역정책을 주로 회원국의 손에 맡겨두고 공동체 차원에서는 적극적인 지역정책을 펼치지는 않았다. 그 후 1970년대에 새로운 회원국을 받아들이는 과정에서 유럽지역개발기금(ERDF)을 신설하게 되었고, 이를 계기로 유럽연합의 지역정책은 공동체내에서 주요한 정책으로 부상하였다. 특히 유럽연합이 1980년대 회원국들 간의 단일시장을 추구하고, 1990년대에 경제통화동맹(EMU)을 추진하는 과정에서 지역정책의 역할이 더욱 강화되었고 관련된 기금의 규모가 4배 가까이 증가하게 되었다. 최근에는 중 동유럽국가로 회원국이 확장되면서 회원국들 간의 사회 경제적 격차가 더욱 확대되어 이의 해소를 위한 연합차원에서의 지역정책 역할이 그 어느 때 보다도 절실히 요구되고 있는 시점이다. 이러한 관점에서 이 논문에서는 EU가 설립초기부터 지역간 불평등 문제들을 해소하기 위해 시행해 왔던 지역정책들의 내용과 배경, 발전과정 등을 검토해 본다.

전세계적으로 디지털 전환이 확산됨에 따라 유럽연합(EU)은 회원국 간의 포괄적인 데이터 보호 프레임워크를 구축하기 위해 GDPR(General Data Protection Regulation)을 시행하였다. GDPR의 헌법적 뿌리를 고려할 때, EU의 규제 접근법은 다른 데이터 보호 규정들과는 차이가 있다. GDPR은 데이터 보호에 대한 개인의 권리를 강화하였다. 하지만 개인의 데이터를 수집하고 처리하는 기업에 대한 몇 가지 의무 또한 도입하였다. 본 연구에서는 정책적 관점에서 프라이버시, 특히 GDPR에 관한 기존의 문헌을 고찰하였으며, 이를 통해 데이터 규제가 경쟁, 혁신, 마케팅 활동 및 국경을 초월한 데이터 흐름에 미치는 영향을 개략적으로 리뷰 하였다. 그리고 본 연구는 프라이버시와 GDPR이 시장에 미치는 영향 사이의 절충안을 강조한다.
