The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between regional financial development and corporate investment efficiency as well as the relationship between firm-level characteristics and corporate investment efficiency. Using a large sample of A-listed companies in China from CSMAR database between 2003 and 2016, this paper explores corporate investment efficiency and its influencing factors in emerging market on the basis of heterogeneous stochastic frontier model. The results show that: (1) the average investment efficiency of Chinese listed companies is 74.5%, and the investment efficiency of large enterprises, state-owned enterprises and enterprises with relatively high financial development level is significantly higher; (2) compared with average corporate investment efficiency in the year 2003, the investment efficiency of different types of enterprises in 2016 is significantly higher, and the gap is gradually widening; (3) enterprise heterogeneity namely firm size, nature of property right, and institutional environment reflected by the level of regional financial development indirectly affects corporate investment efficiency by influencing the financing constraints and uncertainty. The findings suggest that to improve corporate investment efficiency in emerging market, financial market should be accelerated, regional balance should be restored and the differences among regions, industries and differences between public and private sectors should be eliminated.

Policy planners in Asia readily covet high technology districts and regional systems of innovation such as Silicon Valley. We examine the law's role, by way of covenants not to compete (競業禁止條項) in the development of Silicon Valley by reviewing the literature from 1999 through 2013. The research suggests that in certain high-tech districts such as Silicon Valley, there are greater gains in the innovation of a region by prohibiting CNCs. While we emphasize CNC law as the main legal determinant to Silicon Valley's success, the application of trade secret law and the inevitable disclosure doctrine are also factors that can aid or restrict the mobility and knowledge spillover of a region. Even with much explored, perspectives are lacking from a regional innovation systems analysis, and more so in the context of Asian nations. To tackle these gaps, three analytical frameworks are presented that entails labor law, law and economics, and law and innovation. And from within the law and innovation framework, research is introduced in the hope that future discussions on Asian regional innovation systems consider the legal foundation of Silicon Valley.

The 3 Northeast Asian countries of Korea, Japan and China have been stricter to each other than to other countries of out-region in air liberalization. The prominent reason of this intra-regional protective policy in air transportation seems to be the difference in competitive strength of their national flag carriers. As the 3 countries realize the importance of their mutual cooperation in the region, since China grows to be one of the leading economies in the world and the intra-regional trade and visitors increase tremendously, they are now taking the policy of intra-regional air liberalization more vigorously than before. Especially air cargo liberalization is easier than air passenger liberalization because they realize that the development of open economy is based on free flow of logistics regardless of the competitiveness of their national flag carriers. As Korea is the leading country in the region to promote air liberalization, this paper reviews the importance and growing trend of air cargo, analyzes current air liberalization policy between Korea, Japan and China and the initial effects of open sky in the routes of Shandung-Korea, and suggests the new policies of air liberalization to promote free flow of air logistics.

현재 지방자치단체가 지방세를 탄력적으로 운용할 수 있도록 재정적 인센티브를 부여하자는 안이 대두되고 있다. 그렇지만 지방세의 변화가 지역경제의 순환구조를 왜곡할 수 있으며, 또한 지방자치단체간 조세경쟁 촉발 가능성이 있다는 이유로 그 제도의 실행이 순조롭지 않은 상황이다. CGE 모형의 의태분석 결과를 보면 지역에서 지방세 인하경쟁이 나타나면 공공부문의 비중이 작은 지역에서는 지역경제가 성장하는 한편 공공부문의 비중이 큰 지역은 경제침체가 초래된다. 따라서 지역간 경제력 격차가 확대되며, 학력별 소득분배를 악화시키게 된다. 조세인상 경쟁이 나타나면 지역간 경제력 격차의 축소 및 학력별 소득분배의 개선 가능성은 존재하지만 전반적인 경제침체가 초래된다. 이러한 분석에 근거하면 지자체의 입장도 설득력이 있으므로 정부는 이러한 폐해가 나타날 수 있다는 가능성을 수용해야 할 것이다. 따라서 국세권 일부의 지방이양 등 정책조합을 통하여 상충관계를 극복할 수 있는 방안을 마련해야 할 것인바. 간접세는 직접세 위주의 지방세보다 생산 부문에 유의한 효과를 주므로 지방자치단체가 경제성장에 탄력적으로 대응할 수 있는 수단이기 때문이다.

It is well recognized that the availability of prompt, effective and economical means of dispute resolution is an important element in the orderly growth and encouragement of international trade and investment. Increasingly, ADR(Alternative Dispute Resolution) including arbitration and mediation, instead of litigation in national courts, has become the preferred means of resolving private international commercial disputes. Under the situation, efforts for settlement of trade and investment disputes by ADR have been made between Korea and China through trade and investment agreements and arbitration agreement. Judging from the importance of economic exchange between Korea and Qingdao including Shandong Province, The Korean Commercial Arbitration Board(KCAB) and The Qingdao Arbitration Commission(QAC) should strengthen mutual cooperation to develop efficient methods of resolving commercial disputes arising between the two countries and to assist parties in solving those disputes through conclusion of arbitral agreement. Recently, efforts for conclusion of a Korea-China-Japan Free Trade Agreement(FTA) received strong support at Korea-Japan and Korea-China Summit Meeting held on June and July, 2003 respectively. If the conclusion of FTA among the three countries would be realized, it would promote regional trade and investment, contributing to economic growth in the Northeast Asian region. Under the circumstances, the key arbitral institutions including KCAB and QAC should consider to take the initiative in setting up tentatively called ${\ulcorner}$Joint Arbitration Center for Northeast Asia${\lrcorner}$ for which the CAMCA of NAFTA will be the good example.

본 논문은 우리나라 무역항 중 침체상태 혹은 역할이 거의 정체되어 있는 목포항개발에 대한 전략적 대안을 제시하고자 한다. 정부는 양항정책에 따라 동북아의 증가하는 물동량에 대처하기 위해 부산항과 광양항을 중심으로 집중적으로의 항만개발을 추진하였다. 이러한 정부의 정책으로 부산항과 광양항은 대형항만으로서 그 역할을 수행하고 있다. 또한 인천항과 평택항 그리고 당진항의 경우, 발해만 지역의 항만(천진, 대련, 청도 등)과의 경쟁심화로, 계속된 항만투자에도 불구하고 물동량이 증가하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이들 항만들의 전략적 대안은 역내 늘어나는 물동량을 흡수하기 위한 전략 및 마케팅 능력이 요구된다. 반면 울산항의 경우, 항만개발에 비해 물동량이 확보된 경우, 항만개발로 인한 물동량 증가를 해결할 수 있다. 그러나 마산항, 군산항, 목포항의 경우, 물동량이 아주 적은 관계로 항만개발을 유도하기 힘들다. 이런 경우, 항만인근에 자유무역지역을 설정하여 외국의 기업을 유치함으로써 항만물동량을 스스로 증가시키는 전략이 필요하다. 그래서 목포항개발을 위한 전략으로는 항만인근 지역을 자유무역지역을 지정하여 외국기업투자유치에 지자체가 노력할 수 있도록 하여야 한다.

본고에서는 2005년부터 2014년까지 47개국 57개 농식품 수출입 자료를 이용하여 글로벌 교역 네트워크의 측면에서 한국 농식품의 교역 구조를 파악하였다. 본 연구의 주요 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 상품별로 네트워크 구조의 차별성이 나타난다. 즉, 채소, 과실, 가공식품의 순으로 컴포넌트 수가 유의하게 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 상품에 따라 커뮤니티 구조가 동태적으로 변화하는 과정이 차별적이다. 교역 네트워크 내에서 일부 상품의 커뮤니티 구조가 역동적으로 변화하는 반면에, 개방의 확대 추세에도 불구하고 구조 변화가 나타나지 않는 상품군이 상존한다. 셋째는 우리 농식품의 국제 경쟁력 강화 추세가 나타난다는 것이다. 57개 분석 대상 농식품의 상위 네트워크에서 한국의 외향 연결도수가 드러나는 상품은 총 26개 품목에 불과하다. 그럼에도 불구하고 일부 채소류와 가공식품 등에서 국제경쟁력의 확대 가능성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper measures the economic impacts of the U.S. port investment strategies coping with the Panama Canal expansion. Using secondary import data, negative and positive estimates of the impacts were presented in this study. Reduced port activities into the West Coast Customs Districts negatively affect transportation and warehousing industries, among other effects. Still, they have simultaneous positive effects in other states from increased imports resulting from modal shifts and changes in the entry port located in the South and East coasts. This study applied the supply-driven National Interstate Economic Model that measures all interstate trade among the U.S. states to divert foreign imports from 15 Pacific Rim countries. For this purpose, the following assumption was adopted: larger ships using the canal will lead to a redirection of seaborne trade among U.S. (and other) ports and result in secondary effects, e.g., using different freight modes and regional growth spillovers. This study also accounted for the entry point change and significant port investments for foreign trade under alternative scenarios. The choice of ports for international trade depends on decisions about how to minimize multimodal delivery costs. The total direct reduction of transportation and warehousing activities associated with foreign imports in the West Coast ports was estimated at $3.3 billion, leading to total negative effects of $5.8 billion. Total positive impacts from the shift of transportation modes with the choice of an entry port and new warehousing activities for foreign imports in the selected 12 states varied. As expected, states that involved an entry port had the most prominent benefits, but Texas, New York, and New Jersey may be benefited through all the port enhancement projects in the U.S. Also, except for Transportation and Postal, and Warehousing industries, Construction is another dominant positive affected industry of the Canal expansion in the U.S.

본 논문은 모로코의 종교적 배경과 역사문화적 특징을 이해함으로써 모로코 이민자들의 정착문제나 다양한 목적의 모로코 협력을 위한 방안을 체계화하고자 하였다. 모로코는 교역에서 개방적이고, 사회 문화적 면에서는 전형적이다. 스페인과 프랑스 등 서구 유럽문화의 교류를 해왔지만 전형적인 무슬림을 유지한다. 특히 모로코가 과거 삼각교역의 중심지로써, 디아스포라와 물류 허브였고 북미로 진출하였다. 앞으로도 글로벌 다각교역의 문화확산의 교두부역할은 한다. 지금은 모로코 교역이 프랑스를 비롯한 유럽지역을 중심으로 형성되어 있다. 이는 아프리카 지역의 개방화와 산업화의 진전으로 한국을 비롯한 세계 각국에서도 접하게 된다. COVID-19이후 소프트파워가 여성 접근성을 높이고 있다. 모로코에 대한 비즈니스적인 진출이나 서비스 금융 및 지역적 차원의 접근을 위한 글로벌 삼각 전략지로써, 우리는 한국의 소프트파워인 문화적 산업 및 서비스를 현지에서 수용하게 됨을 방증한다.

Purpose - purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of the investment facilitation levels of 11 RCEP countries (excluding Myanmar, Brunei, and Laos due to lack of data) on China's outward foreign direct investments(OFDI) using balanced panel data from 2010 to 2019. Design/methodology - First, four investment facilitation measurement indicators (regulatory environment, infrastructure, financial market, ease of doing business) were selected,investment facilitation scores of the 11 countries were obtained using the principal component analysis, an investment gravity model was established with nine explanatory variables (investment facilitation level, market size, population, geographic distance, degree of opening, tax level, natural resources, whether the country is an APEC member or not, and whether a valid bilateral investment treaty with China has been concluded) were used to establish an investment gravity model, and regression analyses were conducted with OLS and system GMM. Findings - The results of the regression analyses showed that investment facilitation levels had the greatest effect on China's OFDI, all four first-level indicators had positive effects on China's OFDI, and among them, the institutional environment had the greatest effect. In addition, it was shown that explanatory variables such as market size, population, geographical distance, degree of openness, natural resources, and whether or not a valid bilateral investment treaty has been concluded would have positive effects on China's OFDI, while tax levels and APEC membership would impede China's OFDI to some extent. Originality/value - Since the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEPT) came into effect not long ago, there are not so many studies on the effects of investment facilitation levels of RCEP member states on China's OFDI, and the investment facilitation measurement index constructed in this paper is relatively systematic and scientific because it includes all the contents of investment facilitation related to the life cycle of company's foreign direct investments.
