According to this study, overall economic impacts of the FTA between Korea and Singapore upon fish and fishery products of our country were likely to be very small and insignificant. When the tariff on fish and fishery products between the two borders were completely eliminated, if no roundabout exports from other ASEAN countries were practicing, then this study calculated that the increase of imports from Singapore in the 12 chief items was estimated to be only about 250,000kg, which comes to the amount of 1.1 billion won. The 12 items used here account for over 90% imports of fish and fishery products from Singapore. This study also revealed that imports of fish and fishery products from Singapore would be substituted for domestic products more than 100,000kg in the 7 items produced domestically. The substitution effect represents fishermen's demage by replacing domestic products by imports in terms of income which comes to the amount of 438 million won. As the results of the study shows, establishing an FTA between the two countries will not exert so much adverse effects on our fisheries because relative importance of fish and fishery products in both countries are very small. But the contents of the agreement on fish and fishery products between the two countries are very important, as concluding the negotiation and signing the agreement between Korea and Singapore would be a precedent in future negotiations with other asian countries, especially with China and ASEAN countries.

Recently, Korea have experienced numbers of FTAs with other countries, including Chile, EFTA(European Free Trade Association), Singapore, ASEAN(Association of South-East Asian Nations), and U.S. In particular, FTA with U.S. are expected to cause huge impact on food markets as well as agricultural sector in Korea. Many researches have analyzed and discussed about the impact on agricultural sector after Korean-U.S. FTA, but very small number of studies focus on the impact of Korean-U.S. FTA on food markets. The purpose of the paper is to discuss the impact of Korea-U.S. FTA on Korean dairy market. For the numerical simulations, this paper focus on the impact on cheese and butter markets. The results of numerical analysis in the paper will be helpful for the future research, because few (maybe no) studies conduct the numerical analysis to measure the impact of Korea-U.S. FTA on Korean food market.

FTA is acting as a central axis to accomplish the worldwide trade liberalization as FTA has been globally spreading with competition. As the global economic depression and the trend of new protectionism are getting grave, and the trade liberalization of GATT and WTO is getting delayed, FTA is spread as an alternative. FTA is often called as RTA: Regional Trade Agreement(regional free trade agreement) which takes place mainly around the neighbor nations or regular districts, and these days, it is tending towards agreements between long distant nations, so, it's not limited to the regular districts. Among the FTA agreement items, in addition to the customs abolition, the opening and investment liberalization of service market like finance, communication etc., intellectual property rights are included in the government's target range. Korea also is actively proceeding FTA conclusion. Korean government has concluded the agreements with Singapore, european nations beginning from Chile concluded in 2003, and is proceeding more the negotiations with Japan, Canada, Mexico, India etc. Now in 2009, FTA of Korea-United States is actually waiting for just the passage of assembly ratification. But, if FTA becomes effective, because our domestic market should be entirely opened, it is expected that the blow against our domestic agricultural field which is weak, compared with that of the United States, a nation of worldwide agricultural products, is not an ordinary one. According to it, we need a whole plan to cope with, so, the purpose of this study is to suggest the strategy by comparing and analysing the Korean agricultural competitive power, and to find the other development stratagem.

To help improve the current government practice of direct damage-compensation policies, resulting from the loss of profit, sustained by Hanwoo farmers, as a result of the recent Korea-U. S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA), this research aims to examine any problems or issues caused by said policies. To accomplish this task, we have established Hanwoo-SIMO model and estimated the damage of Hanwoo farmers, one without the implementation of the FTA and another with the FTA, to compare and contrast the two. We then analyzed the efficacy of the current government policies. According to our analysis, the current direct compensation policies for the loss of profit on the part of Hanwoo farmers are insufficient. To address this problem, we recommend the government enact a new direct damagecompensation law to address the following issues. First, as the base formula of damage-compensation, the government should use current price of the beef rather than the annually changing flexible price. Second, the flexible control index should remain fixed at 1.0 rate while the government prepares the adequate amount of the damage compensating direct payment resulting from the FTA. Third, the direct government compensation policy should extend beyond the current 15 years (2013-2026) as the profit loss is expected to increase after the midpoint of the FTA.

In this study, we aim to build a consensus that the Korea-Mongolian economic cooperation and trade growth will bring economic benefits to both countries and, in addition, the FTA between the two countries will bring economic benefits to the overall economy through the economic status and mutual trade status of Korea and Mongolia. Currently, countries around the world are accelerating their market battle with fierce competition, pushing for the opening of their markets through free trade agreements of multilateralism and regionalism centered on the WTO as a rapid change in the global economic environment. Amid such an international economic environment, Korea is developing diverse economic cooperation and FTA strategies, and under the principle that it is based on comprehensive and national consensus, it will sign simultaneous FTAs with major countries, but will diversify its trade partners' efforts to increase trade volume through market advantage, secure energy resources, and so on to secure more resources in overseas markets.

Trade between South Korea and Malaysia has been steadily increasing since the conclusion of the multilateral Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and South Korea. Bilateral FTAs such as Singapore-South Korea, Vietnam-South Korea, and Indonesia-South Korea came into effect to enhance the economic cooperation between South Korea and major ASEAN countries. However, the bilateral FTA between South Korea and Malaysia, known as Republic of Korea-Malaysia FTA, is still under negotiation. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the economic impact of a possible FTA between these two countries. To examine the economic effects of bilateral FTAs, this study analyzes the trade structure and change in the value of trade between Malaysia and South Korea using panel data analysis. Two significant findings were identified by the analysis. First, the Republic of Korea-Malaysia FTA is expected to promote trade and have a positive effect on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of South Korea. Second, the result of the calculated price elasticity based on substituting figures such as tariff, demand elasticity, and export value is that the value of manufacturing exports is expected to considerably get an increase. Therefore, an early FTA between South Korea and Malaysia would be beneficial for both national economies.

세계경제의 글로벌화와 함께 국가 간 무역네트워크는 지리적 근접성을 초월해 확장되고 있으며 이러한 무역네트워크의 확장은 세계화를 촉진시키는 역할을 하고 있다. 우리나라는 한 칠레 FTA를 시작으로 지난 10년 동안 명실상부한 FTA 강국으로 자리매김 했으며 단기간의 성공적인 네트워크 구축은 체결국과의 교역증대, 해외시장 점유율 상승 등 긍정적 경제효과가 나타나고 있다. 다른 국가 역시 지역경제 통합 및 양자간 무역협정 네트워크 형성으로 경제 패러다임 전환을 이루고 있어, 전체 RTA 및 FTA 네트워크에 대한 이해를 통한 새로운 기회에 대한 연구의 필요성이 제기되고 있는 시점이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 1960년대부터 현재시점까지의 세계 각국의 RTA 및 FTA 현황을 파악하고 사회네트워크분석을 통해 네트워크 구조와 중심성 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과로 전 세계 FTA 네트워크의 구조는 점차 확장 중에 있으며 초기 유럽중심에서 아시아권 국가들의 성장이 두드러지고 있다. 중심성(Degree, Betweenness, Closeness 및 Eigenvector)분석결과 한국은 짧은 기간 동안 모든 중심성 지표에서 상위권을 차지하며 전략적으로 FTA 성과를 이룬 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 FTA를 거시적 관점으로 살펴보고 이를 통해 세계 FTA의 구조와 한국의 FTA 전략을 평가하고 네트워크적 관점의 FTA 네트워크를 평가하였다.

This study aims to provide the implications of research development by comparing domestic and international studies conducted on the subject of FTA. To this end, among the papers written during the period from 2000 to July 23, 2020, papers whose title is searched by FTA (Free Trade Agreement) were selected as research data. In the case of domestic research, 1,944 searches from the Korean Citation Index (KCI) and 970 from the Web of Science and SCOPUS were selected for international research, and the research trend was analyzed through keywords and abstracts. Frequency analysis and word embedding (Word2vec) were used to analyze the data and visualized using t-SNE and Scattertext. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, in the top 30 keywords of domestic and international research, 16 out of 30 were found to be the same. In domestic research, many studies have been conducted to analyze the outcomes or expected effects of countries that have concluded or discussed FTAs with Korea, on the other hand there are diverse range of study subjects in international research. Second, in the word embedding analysis, t-SNE was used to visually represent the research connection of the top 60 keywords. Finally, Scattertext was used to visually indicate which keywords were frequently used in studies from 2000 to 2010, and from 2011 to 2020. This study is the first to draw implications for academic development through abstract and keyword analysis by applying various text mining approaches to the FTA related research papers. Further in-depth research is needed, including collecting a variety of FTA related text data, comparing and analyzing FTA studies in different countries.
