Purpose - The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the impact of donor's fiscal status on aid decisions before and after the 2008 global financial crisis. The effects on aid can change depending on the donor country's fiscal status and the period of financial crisis. Research design, data, and methodology - A fixed effect regression and dynamic panel GMM is conducted using a comprehensive dataset combining 31 donor and 167 recipient countries during 1996-2015. The key explanatory variable is central government debt-to-GDP ratio of donor country. Recipient countries' GNI per capita, population, governance indicators, and bilateral trade-to-GDP ratio between donor and recipient countries are included as control variables. Results - We can confirm the relationship between donor country's fiscal status and aid flow. The cyclical component of government debt is found to have a negative impact on grant decisions particularly after the 2008 global financial crisis. This effect becomes larger in the countries with high government debt-to-GDP ratio. ODA decisions from the countries with low financial constraint do not significantly affected by the recipient countries' factors such as GNI, population, and governance indicator. Conclusions - Based on the empirical results of this study, the source of aid should be diversified by incorporating private sector and innovative financing sources.

Since the introduction of block chain technology, its potential use in financial service area have been increasing, and financial firms are seeking ways to take advantage of the benefits of it. The purpose of this study is to present an approach to prioritize block chain-based services for bank. Toward this, we picked out potential financial services through focus group interview and derived the criteria that can be used in evaluating the priorities of block chain-based banking services in the same way. Then, we propose an analytic hierarchy process model to help decision makers prioritize the banking services while considering multiple criteria of technology issues, governmental regulations in the financial industry, cost, managerial issues, customers' needs, and the business opportunity for the bank. By using the analytic hierarchy process model, we can estimate the weighting coefficients to be assigned to each criteria and determine the order of priority in determining the best block chain-based service for the case study bank. The results show that banking login authentication would be forefront service, followed by money transfer, document notarization, and trade financing service in the order, and the trade financing could be most important service in terms of the business profitability for the bank in the future.

2015년 우리나라는 약 9,632억 달러의 무역규모와 약 902억 달러의 상품무역흑자를 달성한 반면, 서비스무역은 약 152억 달러의 적자를 기록하였다. WTO에 따르면 서비스무역은 부가가치 및 고용 창출효과가 높고, 국민의 소득수준, 삶의 질 등과 밀접하게 연결되는 특성을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 2006년부터 2015년까지 12개 항목의 서비스무역 세분류통계 정보를 분석하고 지난 10년간 업종별 서비스무역의 대외경쟁력을 측정해 보았다. 분석결과 첫째, 상품무역규모대비 서비스무역규모는 점차 증가하고 있다. 둘째, 서비스무역 업종별 경쟁력분석을 통해 정책의 수립 및 지원의 우선순위를 고려할 수 있다. 마지막으로 서비스무역 내 업종 간 연계성과 서비스무역과 상품무역 간 연계성을 고려한 정책과제 수립이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

Purpose - Using the Model of Goal-Directed Behavior (MGB), this study identifies the critical factors that influence consumer intention to purchase an electric vehicle (EV). This study also provides differentiated policy implications to the Korean and Chinese governments and EV-related companies for the expansion of the EV market in both countries by comparing consumers' perceptions of EV purchase intentions. Design/methodology - Our extended MGB model adds to the standard model consideration of financial incentives, perceived risks, and environmental concerns. An online survey was conducted of Korean and Chinese consumers. Based on the collected responses, all tested hypotheses were verified using PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling). Differences in the path analysis results between Korea and China were compared and verified using Henseler's MGA (multi-group analysis), the parametric test, and the Welch-Satterthwaite test. Findings - The most critical factor that influences the intent to purchase an EV in consumers from both countries is personal desire. PBC and SN were identified as the critical factors that respectively increase personal desire in Korea and China. In addition, in Korea, among the three factors EC, FIP, and PR, environmental concerns were found to have the most significant impact on attitudes and purchase intention. In contrast, in China, economic factors (specifically financial incentives) had greater importance than environmental issues. Originality/value - This study has academic contributions in that it presents a new research model that includes financial incentive policies, environmental concerns, and perceived risk variables based on the MGB to explore consumers' purchase intentions. This study can also make a practical contribution in that it provides some meaningful implications to the governments and EV-related companies of both countries based on the differences in the analysis results of the Korean and Chinese markets.

This thesis examines the problems faced in the electronic trade specialized service provider for which improvements are necessary, and suggests various ways of overcoming those problems. First, from the legal aspect, it is necessary to clarify the scope of duties as well as to expand the threshold for entrance and business areas through the amendment of related laws. Second, from the operating aspect, the e-trade specialized service provider should be able to provide convenient work spaces through user-centered interface by connecting, integrating, automating and simplifying various services scattered around through the establishment of an operating system. Third, from the institutional aspect, trade firms should be able to perform e-trade duties without difficulties by specializing and increasing the size of the e-trade specialized service provider system and strengthening job competence. For this, it is required to improve legal registration requirements to enhance the reliability of the e-trade specialized service provider system and secure its financial capacity.

Purpose - This paper tries to estimate the effects of China's and Japan's free trade agreement (FTA) by panel generalized least squares (GLS). Design/methodology - The GLS model includes the basic gravity theory and Difference in Difference (DD) method to divide FTA conclusion countries and non-FTA conclusion countries with China and Japan. In order to empirically research the difference between Chinese and Japanese FTAs, we use the Difference in Difference in Difference (DDD) method. Findings - This paper finds the distance variable has more influence on Japanese than Chinese trade. The exchange rate indicates that Chinese trade depends on export and Japanese trade has the structure of re-import; shows that the countries that concluded FTAs with China and Japan have more positive trade effects than those that did not; finds the Chinese FTA promotion effects greater than the Japanese FTA because China had pushed ahead with trade policy since joining the WTO in 2001. Originality/value - This study shows that a single country's FTA and trade policies are an important factor concerning not just the promotion of trade but also the issue of trade conflicts.

Purpose - A financial crash triggers asset fire sales by foreign investors and, as a consequence, the price of domestic assets severely decreases. Domestic investors take advantage of these low prices by replacing foreign assets with domestic assets, which helps to alleviate the liquidity shock caused by foreigners. However, is the amount of capital retrenchment by domestic investors sufficient to protect the Korean economy from capital stop by foreign investors during financial crisis? This paper answers this question and suggests the implications of this phenomenon for the Korean economy. Design/methodology - We estimate the associations between capital stop and retrenchment and various financial crises such as banking, currency, debt, and inflation crises using the complementary log-log model. Specifically, we use data of gross capital flows to differentiate between the role of foreign and domestic investors in financial markets. Capital stop and retrenchment designate a sharp decrease in gross capital inflows and outflows, respectively. Findings - Capital stop is significantly associated with financial crises, especially currency and debt crises. This implies that increased risk aversion during times of financial turmoil encourages foreign investors to retrench their investments, worsening liquidity shocks. Conversely, capital retrenchment is not significantly associated with such crises. The results show that, although financial crises reduce gross capital outflows, the reduction is not as large as that with capital inflows. Originality/value - The contribution of this paper is threefold. First, this study investigates how domestic investors behave during times of financial distress by studying gross capital flows-not net capital flows. Second, we concentrate on sharp changes in capital flows during crises. Third, we examine the associations between capital stop and retrenchment and financial crises in general, not specific events.

본 논문은 국내유가증권 상장기업들을 대상으로 영업부채가 관행적인 영업상 지급결제역할 이외에도 해당기업의 주요한 재원조달역할 및 정보창출기능도 수행하는지를 분석하였다. 국내기업들의 경우 정보관련 비용부담이 큰 기업일수록 영업부채 의존도가 유의적으로 높은 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 납품기업에 의한 영업부채가 구매기업관련 신용정보 서비스를 제공하고 있으며, 이로 인해 정보비대칭관련 비용부담이 큰 구매기업들에게 매우 효과적인 재원이 될 수 있음을 나타내는 결과이다. 그러나 재벌소속 기업들의 경우에도 상대적으로 영업부채 의존도가 높은 것으로 나타났는데, 이러한 결과는 재벌소속 기업들이 비재벌소속 기업들에 비해 구매력 우위를 바탕으로 납품기업들로부터 영업부채 제공을 더 많이 받기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 한편, 영업부채를 많이 사용하는 기업들은 은행으로부터의 차입이 상대적으로 적은 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 영업부채와 은행부채가 정보관련 비용부담이 큰 기업들에게 상호 대체재일 가능성을 증거한다.

This study compares and analyzes the effects of GVC participation on export competitiveness in manufacturing and service industry in 36 OECD countries and 28 non-OECD countries. According to the statistical analysis result, the GVC participation had a negative impact on export competitiveness in manufacturing industry, while it had a positive impact in the service industry. In the case of the manufacturing industry, participation toward the backward GVC had a positive impact on export competitiveness before the financial crisis, besides, participation toward the forward GVC had a positive impact on export competitiveness. In the case of the service industry, export competitiveness through forward GVC participation has increased since the financial crisis has occurred, and backward GVC participation was estimated to have a negative impact on export competitiveness. The results of this study implies that, to secure export competitiveness, a converged approach of the manufacturing and service industries to upgrade the global value chain is needed.

본 연구에서는 중력모형과 챠우 검정(Chow Test) 및 패널 데이터 분석을 이용하여 한국의 교역결정요인에 대하여 분석하였다. 챠우 검정(Chow test) 분석결과 2008년 금융위기를 기준으로 한국의 무역패턴이 이질적으로 변화했음을 확인할 수 있었다. 중력모형의 기본 설명변수인 일인당 GDP, 거리, 인구변수의 경우, 2008년 금융위기 이후 계수의 절대값이 전반적으로 하락한 것으로 드러났다. 중력모형에서 설명변수의 계수는 탄력성(elasticity)임을 고려할 때, 기본중력모형 설명변수들이 가지는 영향력이 감소한 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 반면 해외직접투자가 교역량 증가에 미치는 긍정적 영향력이 보다 확대되었고, 무역보완도 지수(TCI)가 더 이상 유의하지 않은 결과를 보여 한국의 교역패턴에도 변화가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 55개 주요 교역상대국을 대상으로 한국의 중요 교역결정변수의 변화에 대한 계량분석을 통하여 금융위기 이후 한국이 교역량을 지속적으로 증가시키기 위한 전략을 제시할 수 있다는 점에서 의의를 갖는다고 할 수 있다.
