In order to analyze the current status of trade with Korea and FTA partner countries, the Trade Intensity Index and the Market Comparative Advantage index were calculated and analyzed using panel gravity model. In the case of trade, trade intensity index has been strengthened according to each FTA enforecement, and in some cases, trade inensity has been weakened. In the case of the comparative advantage index, there was a case in which the comparative advantage was strengthened or the comparative advantage was not significantly changed according to each Chapter of HS code. This means that the Korea's FTA enforcement effect has not directly affected the increase of the trade intensity and the increase of the market comparative advantage index. The panel gravity model using the trade intensity and the comparative advantage index as the dependent variable and the trade volume between the two countries as the dependent variable was analyzed.

This study investigates empirically the export competitiveness of Korea and Japan in America by calculating 4 indexes such as market share index(MSI), export similarity index(ESI), market comparative adventage index(MCAI) and market share expansion ratio(MSER)-export similarity deepening ratio(ESDR). The empirical finding of this analysis shows that Korea is competitive in the labor-intensive products and Japan in the technology-intensive products. This result also meets the general understandings that Japan is superior to Korea in the export competitiveness such as value added of goods, etc. Therefore, in order to strengthen the export competitiveness of Korea in the US market, it's desirable for our firms and government to improve the quality of product ranges by developing technologies focused on the higher value-added products.

본 연구에서는 한 중 IT산업의 기업 및 경쟁력 분석, 수출입구조를 통해 전반적인 무역의 흐름을 알아보고 정보통신기기 분야인 통신기기, 정보기기, 방송기기, 부품 등 4개 분야에 대해 무역집중도(Trade Intensity), 현시비교우위지수(Revealed Comparative Advantage), Grubel-Lloyd 지수, 불변시장점유율(Constant Market Share) 등으로 한 중 무역구조를 분석하였는데 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 한국은 2004년 이후 3개 기업이 글로벌 500대 기업 리스트에 등재되어 왔으나 중국기업들이 평균 2.25개로 한국을 바짝 쫓아오는 상황에 직면해 있다. 둘째, 무역집중도 지수 분석결과 2002년보다 2007년에 4.57% 증가하여 한 중 간 통신기기에 관한 교역의 긴밀도가 높아지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 현시비교우위지수(Revealed Comparative Advantage)와 Grubel-Lloyd 지수의 분석결과 한국 정보통신기기는 비교열위에 있지만 수출입 구조에서는 흑자를 내고 있다. 넷째, 최근 들어 중국 수입시장에서 상당수 정보통신기기 제품의 시장점유율은 경쟁력과 상품공급구조의 변동으로 시장점유율이 하락하였다. 현재 한 중 정보통신기기 분야의 무역구조 변화와 중국수입시장에서 시장점유율 하락의 어려움을 국내 IT산업이 한 단계 도약할 수 있는 계기로 삼아야 할 것이다.

부산항의 수출이 우리나라 항만의 수출에서 차지하는 비중은 계속해서 감소하고 있는데, 이와 같은 항만의 위상변화는 해당 항만의 주요 수출시장과 수출품목에서 그 원인을 찾아볼 수 있다. 본고는 중국에 대한 부산항의 주요 10개 수출품목의 경쟁력이 어떻게 변화할 것인가를 밝히기 위해 시장비교우위(Market Comparative Advantage: MCA)지수를 도출하여 변화하는 행태를 분석함과 동시에 MCA지수를 대 중국 수출비중과 중국의 수입비중으로 분해한다. 부산항의 수출경쟁력은 MCA지수가 하락한 HS8703 품목을 제외한 9개 품목에서 상승하나, 이 중 7개 품목에서 중국의 수입비중이 감소함을 보인다. 그런데 중국의 수입비중이 줄어든다는 것은 시장비교우위지수가 상승하여도 수출증가를 낙관할 수 없다는 것을 의미한다. 중국의 수입비중이 감소하는 7개 품목에서 5개 품목은 대중 수출비중이 상승하나 2개 품목에서는 대중 수출비중도 함께 하락하여 MCA의 상승에도 불구하고 수출전망이 어둡다는 것을 보인다. 결국 HS3920, HS8708, HS8703과 같은 3개 품목에서만 수출경쟁력 향상이 수출전망을 밝게 한다는 것을 밝힌다. HS8708 품목이 부산항의 대중 수출에서 1위를 차지하는 품목이라는 점은 부산항의 대중 수출에 긍정적인 요소가 될 수 있으나, 10개 품목 중 3개 품목에서만 수출전망이 밝다는 것은 부산항의 대중 수출에 대해 전반적인 검토가 있어야 한다는 것을 보인다.

Purpose - To accelerate economic cooperation, this study investigates trade structures of Korea and the United States and identifies trade discrepancies. Such discoveries can lead to increases in trade volume by improving policies, eventually uncovering ways for trade expansion. Research design, data, and methodology - The Index of trade intensity, from trade intensity theory, is used to analyze the trade decision factors. Even though specific factors should materialize in the analysis, realistically, concrete explanations are difficult as there are so many unsolved factors and diversifications. Results - First, the Index of A value/ B value positions Korean against the United States in terms of market share and Korea against world market share, which thereby reveals comparative market intensity. Second, Korea is taking comparative advantage of export specialization. Third, real comparative advantage indices are considerably improved since early 2000. Conclusions - This study uses quantitative measurements and trade intensity theory and trade specialization to come up with a comparative advantage index to see how inter-trade relations between Korea and the United States have changed over the past 10 years.

Purpose - This study, in seeking to understand the trade structure of both Korea and China, aims to strengthen Korea-China economic cooperation; it examines trade impediments by analyzing the problems affecting trade and addressing these problems, thereby discovering ways to expand trade between these countries. Research Design, Data, and Methodology - The index of trade intensity developed by the trade intensity theory (Kruger, 1997) is used to analyze the trade decision factors of both countries. Although specific factors should have materialized from the analysis of trade decision factors, determining concrete explanations is difficult in reality, as there are many unsolved and diverse factors. Results - First, the index of A value/B value is the index of Korean versus Chinese market share/Korean versus world market share, which is a measure of comparative market intensity. Second, Korea has a comparative advantage in export specialization and, conversely, China has a comparative advantage in import specialization. Third, compared to 2000, the revealed comparative advantage (RCA) indexes are considerably improved. Conclusions - This study used quantitative measurement for analysis, applying trade intensity theory, trade specialization, and RCA indexes to gauge how inter-trade relations have changed between Korea and China during the past 10 years (2000, 2005, and 2012).
