South Korea and Mongolia are both the member countries of the World Trade Organization, but neither was the country with FTA. Nowadays, South Korea widely concludes the FTA with other countries, and the trade area has extended toward the neighboring continents and seas. Mongolia is a country with smallest economic entity but large in area and with abundant underground resources. And it's a main strategic zone of Eurasia. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Mongolia began to turn to market economy, and eagerly made effort to open and reform. With the expanse of trade and economy cooperation between South Korea and Mongolia, Mongolia started its sea road expanding. And the south Korea went to inland to get the necessary resources. Both of them feed its needs and obtain its profits.

Today's Internet environment is growing rapidly, and transactions based on it are also rapidly increasing. E-commerce allows merchants and consumers in different countries to easily trade goods across borders. However, the increase in international consumer transactions through the Internet is accompanied by an increase in disputes. International consumer transactions are characterized by a distinction among long distance, small sum, and different jurisdictions. International consumer transactions cannot be solved only by way of resolving disputes in past international transactions. The best way to resolve disputes between international carriers and consumers is through the Internet. In this regard, UNCITRAL has been preparing to enact legislation on ODR as a solution to international electronic trade disputes and, as a result, UNCITRAL adopted guidelines for operating the ODR procedure for building the ODR platform. The European Union has also increased its disputes in the European Union, which is active in the intra-regional market. Institutional improvements were made to solve this problem; therefore, the European Union (EU) has enacted the ODR Regulations for EU consumer disputes. Based on such, this study constructed the ODR platform, which is used as a way to resolve consumer disputes in the regional market.

This article deals with the Improvement of Compulsory Arbitration System on Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act in Korea. If a labor dispute occcur, the settlement of labor dispute must be reached for the parties' own accord. The autonomy of the parties concerned is the fundamental principle in the settlement of labor dispute. If the Rights Which are guaranteed by art. 33 Constitutional Law belong to civil liberties, we should consider Trade Union Act as the restriction of basic rights. Arbitration is a procedure which permits the most positive intervention by the arbitrator. It is carried out by an arbitration committe which is composed of three arbitrators appointed by the chairman of the Labor Relations Commission. Compulsory arbitration system of the labor for parties should be improved. In case of necessary public enterprises, more strict requirements on assembly for labor disputes should be prepared and the government should support institutions to prevent labor-management disputes by educating experts on labor-management relations and improving the quality of arbitration.

Purpose - This study empirically analyzes the effects of the European Union-South Korea Free Trade Agreement on Korean exports in major sectors. Design/Methodology - This study is based on the augmented gravity model with a panel data set covering 51 countries between the years 2000 and 2015. Findings - Main findings of the present study is that the agreement has affected the chemical sector the most. Fixed effects estimation predicted a positive trade effect of 38.3%, while Poisson maximum likelihood estimation predicted an impact of 4.75% in the chemical export sector. Regression results for the other sectors only show insignificant effects. Originality/value - The findings imply that the effects of the EU-South Korea free trade agreement on the Korean exports are quite specific compared to the European ones, meaning that the Korean government should focus on sector-specific programs to maximize the welfare benefits of the free trade agreement.

Purpose - This paper explains why free trade agreements (FTAs) are more popular than customs unions (CUs) in respect of tariff coordination. Design/methodology - This paper employs an equilibrium theory of trade agreements with tariff coordination. I set up three-country partial equilibrium model with competing exporters. Domestic and exporting firms decide their optimal production under given tariffs and each country levies its tariff under the trade agreements. I found stability of implicit tariff coordination and preference of each country between an FTA and a CU. Findings - I demonstrate that two FTA members can keep their external tariffs higher than separately decided external tariffs by keeping the status-quo. This implicit tariff coordination can benefit each member through trade diversion. In a CU, each member country must have a common optimal external tariff and it must incur costs because each country may seek different external tariffs for their own national welfare. The benefit of implicit coordination in an FTA and the cost of explicit coordination in a CU account for the popularity of the FTA. Originality/value - This paper uses the idea of implicit tariff coordination in trade agreements. In a CU, tariff coordination is explicit and mandatory. All member countries must have a single common external tariff for each good. On the other hand, in an FTA, each country establishes its external tariff with the goal of maximizing its own welfare. However, each country can also coordinate "implicitly" by keeping the status-quo after establishing an FTA.

In the recent 20 years, the capital flows between Korea and European Union have increased and diversified. In particular, the business cycles of two economies have shown similar patterns since the Global Financial Crisis. This study examines both trends and investigates the roles of finance and trade on business cycle co-movements between two economies. The empirical results show that the business cycles can diverge due to either the common shocks or the country-specific shocks. Furthermore, financial integration increases the business cycle co-movements driven by both the country-specific shocks and the common shocks between two economies.

본 연구의 목적은 일터 내에서의 자기주도학습을 탐색하고 한국의 노동교육을 고찰하여, 노동조합교육 법제화에 관한 주요한 함의를 도출하는 것이다. 이를 위해 첫 번째로 한국의 노동교육과 이와 관련된 법제를 자세히 살펴보았다. 두 번째로, 일터 내에서의 자기주도학습이 면밀하게 분석되었는데 이는 인적자원개발뿐만 아니라 성인교육 및 평생학습의 관점에서도 함께 이루어졌다. 세 번째로 이와 같은 종합적인 고찰의 결과를 바탕으로 일터 내에서의 자기주도학습이 근로자 주도의 노동교육에 가지는 시사점을 한국의 노동조합교육 법제화라는 측면에서 논의하였다. 이러한 국가 차원에서의 법제화가 이루어질 경우 산업민주화를 위한 자기주도학습의 맥락에서 근로자의 노동조합교육 참여를 촉진할 수 있기 때문에, 한국의 노동조합교육은 적절한 법적, 재정적, 행정적 지원을 제공받는 것이 필요할 것이다.

최근 임금 인상과 고용증대에 중점을 두어 온 종래의 노동조합 활동의 영역이 환경보호와 빈곤퇴치와 같은 사회 현안으로 확대되면서 노동조합의 적극적인 사회 참여가 주목을 받고 있다. 이는 노동조합이 새로운 사회 문제에 고유의 단체교섭력을 바탕으로 그 책임을 담당하고 긍정적인 역할을 할 수 있는 경제주체로 인식되고 있기 때문이다. 본 논문은 미시적 경제 분석모형을 통하여 노동조합 운동이 지구 환경문제와 같은 사회적 이슈에도 기여할 수 있음을 설명한다. 국제 과점 무역 이론을 바탕으로 정부의 오염배출규제 정책 수립과정에서 기업과 노동조합이 자신들의 이익에 따른 전략적 선택을 추구하여 규제 정책 입안에 영향력을 행사하는 주인-대리인 모형을 분석한다. 이 분석으로부터 노동조합의 단체교섭력과 국제적 협력이 전지구적 배출오염을 완화하며 사회후생을 증진하는데 중요한 요인임을 확인하였으며, 이것은 WILL 2006에서 논의된 환경문제 완화를 위한 노동조합의 참여와 협력을 요청하는데 긍정적인 논거로서 제시될 수 있을 것이다.

The present article investigates empirically whether non-reciprocal trade preferences (NRTPs) offered by QUAD countries (Canada, the European Union, Japan, and the United States) to developing countries have helped to promote economic growth in the beneficiary countries. Two main blocks of NRTPs are considered here: Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) programs and other trade preferences programs. The analysis used a set of 90 beneficiary countries of NRTPs that are concurrently recipients of development aid over the period of 2002-2018. Using the two-step system generalized method of moments, the analysis indicated that while a higher degree of utilization of each of these two blocks of NRTPs has been associated with a high economic growth rate, development aid enhances this positive effect. This highlights the need for donors to support a development strategy based on the provision of both development aid and NRTPs if they are to help beneficiary countries to promote economic growth. Finally, when the positive economic growth effect of the utilization of NRTPs is higher, the result is a greater country's share of exports (under preferential tariffs) to QUAD countries out of their total merchandise exports.

현재 세계경제는 EU, NAFTA라는 거대 지역블럭의 출현으로 지역경제통합체를 통한 국제경제 질서가 재편되고 있다. 이러한 세계 경제의 혁신적 변화인 지역경제통합을 최초로 시도한 곳은 유럽으로서 현재 경제적 통합을 넘어 단일 헌법을 통한 정치적 통합까지 추진하고 있다. 유럽의 지역경제통합은 최초의 지역통합체적 성격을 가진 유럽석탄 철강 공동체(ECSC)를 시작으로 전후 경제 발전과 평화정착을 목표로 하나의 단일 유럽경제권 창설을 추진하였다. 그리고 유럽경제공동체(EEC), 유럽공동체(EC)를 거쳐 완전한 유럽통합을 추구하는 유럽연합(EU)을 통해 세계 최대경제권으로 발전해 나가고 있다. 2001년 니스조약 이후 EU의 외연 확대정책에 따라 중 동유럽국들의 대대적인 EU가입이 이루어져 현재 회원국의 수는 27개국으로 크게 늘어났다. 이런 상황에서 중력모형을 이론적 근거로 하여 임의효과모형과 고정효과모형을 통해 중 동유럽국들이 EU에 가입함에 따른 무역창출효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 중 동유럽국들이 EU 회원국이 됨으로써 기존의 EU회원국들과 중 동 유럽국들 간 그리고 신규 회원국인 중 동 유럽국들 사이에 27.4%의 무역창출효과가 유발되는 것으로 고정효과모형을 통해 추정되었다.
