Using a multinomial logit model with the panel-data set of Vietnam manufacturing firms, this paper investigates the impacts of foreign direct investment (FDI) - small and medium enterprises (SMEs) linkages and other factors on SMEs' participation in the global value chain (GVC). We consider GVC firms are those engaging in any of the three modes including (i) using domestic inputs to export (D2E), (ii) using imported inputs to produce for the domestic market (I2P), (iii) using imported inputs to export (I2E). We discover that FDI-SME linkages statistically encourage Vietnamese SMEs to integrate into the GVC via I2P and I2E, while no statistical association between FDI-SME linkage and D2E participation is found. GVCs participation likelihood is also positively correlated with the introduction of new product introduction. The establishment of firms' production facilities in industrial zones and foreign ownership are both reported to be significantly decisive factors to SMEs' decisions on GVC participation. Besides, there is a strong association between firms' attributes, i.e. employment, capital intensity as well as financial access, and their participation in the GVC. Local governance quality (proxied by the Provincial Competitiveness Index) and the share of skilled labor at the province-level can facilitate firms' integration into GVCs, while greater market concentration may be a hurdle to such potential.

This paper analyses carbon emissions and value-added embodied in trade between two large developed countries, South Korea and the United States, during 2000-2014. Using multi-regional input-output (MRIO) tables, our analysis reveals that carbon emissions and value-added embodied in exports grew by 19% and 101% for South Korea but shrank by 43% and 7% for the United States. As a result, South Korea experienced a 40% increase in net carbon exports and 243% increase in net value-added exports. At the industry level, the primary drivers of changes in carbon exports were electricity and basic materials. The majority of industries in witnessed improvements in carbon intensities suggesting improved environmental efficiency. While both countries achieved a decoupling of carbon emissions from value-added exports, substantial year-to-year and sectoral variations were observed. Finally, structural decomposition analysis indicates that domestic supply-side factors played a role in decreasing emissions whereas foreign demand-side factors contributed to emissions increases. In line with the main findings, various implications for policy and future research are discussed.

세계 각국은 침체에 빠진 경제를 재건해야 하는 동시에 지구온난화로 촉발된 환경문제까지 고려해야 하는 상황에 놓였다. 이 같은 상황에서 기존의 다양한 선행 연구는 생산증가와 환경보호를 동시에 수용하는 녹색 생산성을 정확하게 분석하지 못한다는 문제를 가지고 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 본 논문에서는 녹색 생산성이라는 새로운 개념을 제시하고 그 도출 방법을 체계화하였다. 뿐만 아니라 녹색생산성에 대한 영향을 미치는 결정적 정책변수를 파악하기 위해 1단계 DEA 분석을 통한 생산성 지수를 비교하고, 이에 기초하여 2단계 붓트렙 회귀분석을 실시하여 그 결정요인을 분석하였다. 1단계 실증분석의 결과, 미국, 일본, 유럽연합에 비해 한국의 녹색 생산성 지표는 크게 미흡한 것으로 나타났으며, 그 원인을 찾기 위한 2단계의 회귀분석 결과, 국가총생산, 에너지집약도, 탄소집약도, 자본집약도, 노동집약도의 변수가 정부의 환경오염 감축 노력보다 중요한 것으로 나타났고, 이를 위해 요소투입형 생산구조에서 요소의 질적 고도화가 필요함을 지적하였다.

This study analysis the market status and competitive structure of Korean fishery in Japan import market, and derive policy implications for seeking main causes. Specifically', trade state between Korea and Japan is discovered and theoretical model is also used to analysis competitiveness between two countries. And then real measuring methods of competitive index is Introduced, the status of Korean fishery products in Japan import market is analysed totally through the study of comparative predominance and export competition. The analysis is based on the statistical methods such as RCA, RMI, and CMS. In summary, first, Korean fishery products have the comparative predominance in Japan, China and Thailand, but they have the comparative inferiority in USA, considering research results. Second, competitiveness of fishery products between Korea and in Japan import market extreme, relatively, competitiveness of Korean fishery products for Thailand's fishery products is lowest. Third, Korean fishery products maintain unconstant pattern, but competitive inputs result in increasing export to Japan generally.

The time-series of Walker circulation index (WCI) in this study shows the strengthening of the Walker circulation in recent years. To further understand the large-scale features related to the WCI strengthening, a difference between the averaged meteorological variables in two time periods 1999-2013 and 1984-1998 is analyzed. The difference in 850 hPa stream flows between the two periods shows that the anomalous easterlies (anomalous trade wind) are dominant due to the strengthening of anomalous anticyclonic circulations at the subtropical Pacific of both hemispheres. The difference between the averaged zonal atmospheric circulations over $5^oS-5^oN$ in the two periods confirms that upward flows are strengthened at the tropical western Pacific and downward flows are strengthened at the tropical central and eastern Pacific in recent years. It matches the WCI strengthening in recent years. The time-series of tropical cyclone (TC) genesis frequency from July to September shows that a mean TC genesis frequency from 1999-2013 decreases compared to that of the time period 1984-1998. The monsoon trough in the period 1984-1998 was located in the further east direction and stronger than that in the period 1999-2013. TCs in the recent period that are generated in further west than TCs in the past period moved from the west. Thus, the TC intensity along the coasts in East Asia becomes weaker in recent period. The intensification of Walker circulation in recent years is related to the weaker TC intensity in East Asia through strengthened anomalous anticyclones at the subtropical western Pacific.

This paper examines South Korea's past developmental experience and its current strategy and policy initiatives to overcome global and domestic challenges and sustain economic growth in the twenty-first century, the digital and global era, to explain how the country became a high-income economy. The findings of this research highlight the following three factors: First, the most significant factor in rapid industrialization was the adoption of an outward-looking strategy, with the help of a highly skilled workforce and the development of high-tech manufacturing and services sectors, which was supported by the government plans. Second, the high R&D intensity helped South Korea become a global leader in information and communication technologies, which has emerged from a top-down innovation system that promotes close collaboration between government, industry, and the academic community. Third, according to the recently released Global Entrepreneurship Index, South Korea tops the region in entrepreneurship environment. Among the list of criteria, South Korea dominates in the ease of starting a business and enforcing contracts. They all play a significant role in encouraging investment, production, communication, and, eventually, economic growth. Finally, this paper suggests forward-looking developments promoting transformation and diversification into high-tech manufacturing and digital and green technologies.

본 연구는 K-pop 팬들의 온라인 활동 내용과 활동의 정도를 실증적으로 측정하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구목적 달성을 위해 먼저 K-pop 아티스트에 대한 팬 애착도에 영향을 주는 주요 온라인 활동들을 탐색하였으며, 나아가 해당 온라인 활동들의 상대적 중요성을 도출하였다. 이를 통해 궁극적으로 K-pop 팬 온라인 활동지수(KOAI: K-pop fans' Online Activity Index)를 개발하였고 개별 응답자들의 KOAI를 실증적으로 측정하였다. 연구결과 K-pop 팬 온라인 활동지수(KOAI)는 팬클럽 가입 여부, V live+ 유료시청 여부, 아티스트 관련 VOD 시청 여부, 팬클럽에 글을 쓰는 정도, 아티스트의 가치를 높이기 위해 관련 유튜브를 보는 정도 등 K-pop 팬들의 다섯 가지 온라인 활동으로 구성됨을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 K-pop 마케터로 하여금 팬 반응을 얻기 위한 다양한 온라인 활동에 마케팅 자원을 보다 효율적이고 효과적으로 배분할 수 있는 기준을 제공함으로써 마케팅 성과를 높이게 하였다는 데 실무적 의의가 있다. 또한 K-pop 팬들의 온라인 행동을 이해하기 위한 학문적 지식 축적에 기여가 있다.
