한 미 FTA 개정 협상이 국가적 현안이 되고 있는 가운데 본 연구는 시장비교우위지수에 의한 경쟁력 분석과 산업내무역 분석을 통해 한 미 FTA 발효를 전후하여 수출산업의 무역구조 변화를 파악하는 데 목적이 있다. 분석 결과, FTA 발효 전후로 대미 상품 및 서비스무역이 각기 흑자와 적자를 지속하고 있으며, 대미 투자는 미국의 대한국 투자를 훨씬 상회하였다. 시장비교우위지수를 활용한 수출상품의 경합보완관계 분석에서 미국과 수출우위의 보완관계를 형성하고 있으며, 산업내무역은 전반적으로 미약하게 나타나고 있는 가운데 일부 품목에서는 저품질 수직적 형태로 이루어지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 분석 결과를 토대로 다음과 같은 정책적 제언 및 시사점을 제시하고 있다. 첫째, 서비스 무역의 경쟁력을 높여가면서 FTA 개정 협상에서 서비스와 상품부문에 대한 손실과 이익의 균형을 추구한다. 둘째, 경합 품목과 비교열위 품목의 경쟁력을 강화해 가면서 수출우위 품목에 대해서는 미국시장의 소비패턴에 대한 대응력을 강화하고, 생산기술 기반 확충과 원가절감을 통한 기술 및 가격경쟁력을 계속 높여 간다. 셋째, 대미 비교우위를 확보하고 있는 품목에서는 수평적 수직적 분업을 진행하고, 비교열위 품목에서는 수평적 분업을 추진한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the awareness levels of Korean textile companies and develop appropriate response plans for the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement. Through such, the study aims to explore practical and realistic directions that the Korean textile industry must take in the future. As for the research method, a survey on the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement was conducted to 50 Korean textile companies which mainly deal in textile exports. Results showed that Korean textile companies possess above average awareness for the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement and carry the perception that the FTA has thus far had a positive effect of market revitalization and contributions to sales. Nonetheless, perceptions on the needs for the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement and level of awareness were below average while government assistance seen to be unsatisfactory. Such results suggest that measures for successful access to the U.S. market require developing products customized for the U.S. market and creating new market opportunities by participating in U.S. exhibits and shows. In addition, textile companies must develop their abilities for self-sustainability through continuous FTA related programs provided by government in addition to investing efforts to understand global markets within companies through response measures on the FTA as a whole.

Domestic industries are facing the open era as a result of signing the Korea-U.S. FTA with no exception to the financial industry. The FFA between two countries is expected to produce pros and cons for domestic financial industry. Therefore, it is very important to minimize the shock caused by opening our financial market and to adopt the advanced financial tools actively. Signing the Korea-U.S. FTA and enforcing the Integration Law of Capital Market are leading a big crisis to the Savings Banks which have been shrinking under the dramatically changing domestic financial environment since the financial crisis. To cope with financial globalization, Korean Savings Banks are demanded to build up their concrete identity and reposition their status. This is related to shaping the long-term position of domestic financial industry. Therefore, the Savings Banks must take the growth strategy for their survival, and it is an inescapable choice. Several options are available: big scale operation and diversification of business functions, reinforcement of local-focused mediating function of funds, establishment of strategic alliance with other financial firms, reinforcement of risk management system and core competence, nourishment and employment of professional manpower, and active deregulation and policy support. When the Savings Banks are refurbished as an independent local bank performing the central role of local finance, the bright future can be their destiny under the enormously changing global financial environment. Also, two more conditions need to be satisfied: to establish horizontal networks among local banks directed by cooperative Korea Federation of Savings Banks to reverse the weak scale position, and to satisfy their own peculiar niche market with internal countermeasure to face global financial networks.

This study investigates the role of private participation in FTA Negotiation in case of US, Mexico and Japan. We utilize Putnam(1988)'s two stage negotiation model, Schelling Conjecture and Principal-Agent(P-A) theory to understand the role of private sector in FTA Negotiation. Those theories are useful to understand the behavior and interaction of key players such as private sector, congress and government in FTA negotiation. Putnam(1988)'s two stage negotiation model divides the FTA negotiation process into two processes: the external negotiation with foreign country and domestic negotiation with domestic interest group. Principal-Agent(P-A) theory provides the theoretical foundation of Putnam's two stage negotiation model, which is that principal's interest is not identical to the interest of Agent. We showed that the private sector and congress play an important role in FTA negotiation in United States. In case of Mexico, the private sector and government occupy the dominant position in FTA negotiation. In particular, the cooperation of industry and government has been successfully established via COECE in Mexico. In contrast to these countries, the role of private participation in trade policy is relatively low in Japan and Korea.

Nine FTA like Korea-Chile FTA, Korea-Singapore FTA, Korea-EFTA FTA, Korea-ASEAN FTA, Korea-India CEPA, Korea-EU FTA, Korea-U.S.A. FTA, Korea-Peru FTA and Korea-Turkey have been concluded and implemented in 46 countries as of May, 2013. In addition to these nine FTA, Korea has been negotiating FTA or CEPA(Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement) with China and Vietnam and Indonesia. Now Korean government is about to conclude FTA agreement with Indonesia which is one of crucial trading partners in Asian countries so the objective of this paper is to suggest how to design ROO schemes properly in such upcoming FTA agreement since more activation of trade and more utilization of FTA can be depend on the details of ROO schemes. As a result, this paper suggests well-design of ROO schemes as follows ; First, self-issuance origin proof system can be considered because authority-issuance origin proof system may reduce the utilization ratio of FTA. Second, combination of indirect and direct verification system in terms of origin verification system will be more preferable because this will be more fitting to Asian countries as considering trading environments and characteristics of Asian market. Third, criteria to determine origin can be based on wholly obtained plus substantial transformation system which contains CTC plus VC along with some percentage of de minimis. In addition to this, the number of products stipulated in PSR should be minimized and applied similar manner to avoid complexity of deciding origin.

International legal reviews on ISD, a procedure for resolving disputes under the Korea-US FTA, are examined from the perspective of law. If the ISD system does not exist, even if the investor suffers damage due to the illegal act of the host country, he or she must file a lawsuit through the court of the host country, which is unreasonable from the investor's point of view and makes it difficult to guarantee fairness and transparency. Some of the Koreans pointed out that there are some problems with the KORUS FTA dispute settlement regulations, and that the United States federal courts are taking a friendly attitude to the decisions made by the US Customs in determining the dispute by the KORUS FTA Agreement and the US Customs Act. In cases where the State does not violate international law but results in harmful consequences, the responsibility of one country is borne by the treaty. Foreign investment always comes with many challenges and risks. Therefore, the ISD system is a fair and universal arbitration system, which is considered to be a necessary system even for protecting the Korean companies investing abroad. In the investment treaty, compensation for the nationalization of foreign property and reimbursement under the laws of the host country were dissatisfied with foreign investors. In particular, some Koreans have pointed out that there are some problems in the KORUS FTA dispute resolution regulations and there is a need for further discussion and research. Based on the experiences and wisdoms gained in the course of Korea-US FTA negotiations, the dispute arbitration mechanism is urgently needed to reduce the possibility of disputes and to make amicable directions.

이 연구는 한·미 FTA 발효 이후 오렌지가 수입되어 집중적으로 판매되는 시기인 1월부터 5월까지 초점을 맞춰 오렌지 수입량 증가가 국내산 과일에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 미국산 오렌지와 경합 되는 국내산 과일로는 감귤류만으로 한정하였고, 그중 미국산 오렌지와 소비 시기가 일치하는 한라봉을 분석대상으로 선정하였다. 이를 위해 동태 축차적 시뮬레이션 모형을 구축하여 한·미 FTA 사후 영향평가 및 한라봉 시장의 중장기 전망을 실시하였다. 또한, 한라봉 시장에 미치는 주요 정책 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 각 시나리오별 파급영향을 계측하였다. 사후 영향평가결과, 한라봉은 주 출하기인 12월부터 2월 사이에는 오렌지 계절관세의 영향은 없으나 TRQ 물량의 영향으로 2012년~2017년 실질 조수입이 연평균 21.9억 원 감소한 것으로 나타났고, 6년 감소 누계액은 131.5억 원 수준인 것으로 나타났다. 주요 정책 시뮬레이션 분석결과, 미국의 오렌지 작황에 따른 수입단가 변화 및 한라봉 수출량 증대는 한라봉 시장의 규모를 증대시키고 이에 따라 소득증대 효과를 가져오는 것으로 나타났다.

이 연구는 소셜 네트워크 사이트를 통해 루머가 급속하게 확산될 뿐만 아니라 정책 결정과정에까지 영향을 미치는 현상에 주목하였다. 이에 거시적 관점에서 한미 FTA와 관련된 여론의 확산 추이를 살펴보고 미시적 관점에서 이용자 간에 상호작용성이 얼마나 활발하게 나타나는지 분석하였다. 이 연구는 루머의 자극성을 루머의 확산에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 보았다. 한미 FTA 관련 루머 중 트위터 검색 엔진을 통해 연관 검색어로 나타난 맹장수술 괴담, 약값 폭등, 건강보험 붕괴를 중심으로 루머의 자극성과 자극성에 따른 확산 추이, 상호작용성을 분석하였다. 루머의 자극성을 사실적 측면과 표현적 측면으로 구분해 분석한 결과, 사실적 측면의 자극성은 맹장 수술 괴담이, 표현적 측면의 자극성은 약값 폭등이 가장 컸다. 루머의 자극성에 따른 여론의 확산 유형을 분석한 결과, 맹장 수술 괴담의 경우 '폭발적 소멸형 파동'이, 약값 폭등의 경우 '잠재적 소멸형 파동'이, 건강 보험 붕괴의 경우 '반복적 파동'이 형성되었다. 루머의 자극성과 상호작용의 관계를 상관관계 분석한 결과, 맹장 수술 괴담의 경우 약한 정도의 상관관계가, 건강 보험의 경우 높은 정도의 상관관계가 나타났다. 건강 보험 붕괴의 자극성이 맹장 수술 괴담의 자극성보다 낮았지만, 건강 보험의 경우 이용자들이 체감하는 이슈 관여도가 높아 논의가 더 활발하게 이루어진 것으로 생각된다. 이 연구를 통해 한미 FTA 체결과 관련하여 트위터가 부정적인 메시지가 확산되는 통로의 역할을 한 것으로 판단된다. 향후 정부는 소셜네트워크사이트를 통한 루머의 확산 과정을 파악하고, 이에 대한 대책을 마련해야 할 것이다.

This study examines the utilization effect of FTA on the sales and profit of the secondary auto-part suppliers in two aspects: 1) firm-level survey on the utilization of FTA and 2) statistical inference on the FTA effects on their sales and profit. We use the GLS statistical technique, panel and survey data of 130 secondary auto-part suppliers in the Daegu and Kyungpook area in 2007-2016. The evidence shows that the secondary auto-part suppliers struggle to prepare documents for the FTA certificates of origin due to their small firm size, although they utilize the FTA at the relatively high rate of 92 percent. Statistical evidence shows that an increase in the export of the first vender significantly affects the sale of the secondary auto-part vendors, but not their profit. The low profit and high managing cost of utilizing the FTA deteriorate the utilization effect of the FTA of the secondary auto-part vendors, which is a key factor in a global supply chain and for the competitiveness of the automobile industry. Government policies are required for the secondary auto-part suppliers to utilize the FTA more effectively and share the benefits of tariff reduction with first auto-part vendors under FTA transaction.
