The purpose of this paper is to identify learning in games in experimental economic settings, and apply their results to real multilateral trade negotiations, such as the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) in the World Trade Organizations (WTO). This paper argues that the structure of games including a veto player (Veto games) is similar to the WTO/DDA negotiations in that the players do not possess identical power. This paper's main contribution to the literature involves showing that learning about power is dominant over learning from simple repetition in Veto games. Additionally, this paper shows that players are concerned about how much they have gained in previous games in Veto games, although their memories generally do not last beyond the next game, and thus they tend to be selfish as they have less shares. Based on these results, there is a possibility to be more generous in the distribution of benefits by allowing players without veto power to retain special rights so that they would not be totally powerless. It also shows the necessity of having "respite" in the process of negotiations and policy options for choosing partners for winning coalitions.

본 연구는 WTO/DDA협상 타결을 위해 2008년 7월에 개최된 주요국 소규모 각료회의에서 합의한 잠정타협안중 주요 논의 동향, 주요 핵심쟁점 사항을 정리, 분석하였으며, 비농산물시장접근분야(NAMA) 세부원칙에 따른 목재류의 품목별 관세 감축 변화 및 이에 따른 주요 품목의 수급영향을 분석하여 금후 우리나라의 WTO/DDA협상 전략 수립의 기초 자료로 활용하는 데에 목적을 두었다. 우리나라는 잠정타협안중 비농산물시장접근분야 세부원칙에 의한 관세 감축 변화 분석 결과, 선진국 지위시 제재목과 단판의 경우 2008년 실행세율과의 차이가 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 미양허품목인 합판의 경우 선진국 지위시에는 관세감축을 2008년 실행세율의 절반 정도로 감축해야 하는 것으로 나타나 관세감축 변화에 따른 영향이 클 것으로 판단된다. 한편 제재목과 합판, PB, 섬유판 등 목질패널류를 대상으로 관세인하에 따른 품목별 수급에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 우리나라가 선진국지위시 목재류의 품목별 수입량 증가가 0.8%~13.3%로 나타났으며, 개도국지위(적용계수 22)시에는 0.8%~44.3%까지 품목별 수입량이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

The Korean dairy sector has experienced the negative impact with the market liberalization for dairy products as a result of the UR Agreement on Agriculture. Futhermore the current WTO DDA agricultural negotiation seems to make the greater negative impact on the Korean dairy sector. It is because that the ongoing negotiations on agriculture will likely result in further reductions of domestic support as well as reduction of tariffs and expansion of the market access. Therefore it's time for us to prepare the effective measures coping with the movement of the further dairy market liberalization. The main purpose of the study is to summarize and illustrate some of the major issues in the current WTO negotiation on agriculture. Also the paper presents some policy implications and missions so as to minimize the negative impacts of agricultural trade liberalization on the Korean dairy sector.

우리나라는 농산물 수출확대를 위하여 농산물 수출지원제도를 운영하고 있으며 수출물류비지원사업도 여기에 포함되어 있다. 수출물류비지원을 통한 수출지원사업을 통해 농산물의 수출확대는 농업부문의 수출산업화는 물론 신수요 창출과 국내 농산물 가격의 안정화에도 기여한다. 우리나라가 DDA 협상에서 개도국지위를 유지하게 되면 WTO 규정이 허용하는 범위 내에서 수출보조의 지속적인 지원이 일정기간까지 가능하나 개도국지위를 상실하게 되면 수출보조금으로 지원하는 수출물류비 등 각종의 지원이 향후 협상에서 결정되는 특정연도에는 완전폐지를 해야 하는 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 농산물에 대한 수출물류비 지원이 수출에 미치는 효과를 분석하고, WTO/DDA 농업협상 결과 예상되는 수출물류비 감축이나 철폐에 대비하기 위한 농산물 수출물류활동의 활성화 방안과 과제에 대하여 연구해보고자 한다.

The DDA negotiations, in 9th multilateral trade round, has focused on nine sectors including agriculture, non-agricultural market access, and service. After August 2004, member countries have intensified negotiations in order to reduce gaps between countries perspective. So most attention of members countries has been focused on agricultural trade and non-agricultural market access. Agricultural negotiation confront tough challenges because of different positions among members countries, and are not expected to reach perfect forms of modalities. Nevertheless based on the fact that many countries nearly reached agreement on some core. Under this circumstance, Korea has to prepare more practical strategics and more effective individual commitments to minimized the agricultural market opening. The other way, some Korean agricultural products will be exported by the DDA negotiation. Recently the understanding of Third-Party Logistics and Logistics Outsourcing are receiving increased attention as means of becoming competitive in agricultural products export improvement. So this paper presents a in-depth analysis for third-party logistics and its implications for Korea agricultural product export system improvement in E-trade Era.

WTO 통신협상 시 우리 나라 통신서비스 분야의 주요쟁점사안 중의 하나는 기간통신사업자의 외국인투자한도 확대이다. 주요 선진국들은 통신서비스 시장규모와 발전전망이 높은 우리 나라에 투자하기 위하여 외국인 지분한도 확대 및 외국인 대주주 허용에 많은 관심을 표명하고 있다. 외국인 지분한도 완화에 따른 긍정적 효과가 부정적 효과 보다 클 경우 국내 통신서비스 시장 발전에 유익할 것으로 예상된다. 특히 배당수익을 목적으로 하는 지분 참여를 통한 외국으로부터 자본을 도입하여 경영진이 효율적으로 사업을 주도할 경우 순기능 효과를 발휘하게 된다. 그러나 부정적 효과가 크다면 지분확대가 통신사업발전에 장해가 될 것이다. 이에 본 고에서는 우리 나라의 추가적인 외국인 지분보유 한도 확대에 앞서 기간통신사업자에게 미칠 긍정적 또는 부정적 파급효과를 분석해 보고, 외국인 지분확대에 따른 부정적 효과를 최소화하기 위한 질적 규제장치 도입 등 대응방안을 모색하고자 한다.

The WTO/DDA Negotiation on the Fisheries Subsidies started by DDA(Doha Development Agenda : 2001.11)at early 2002 has been held about 20 times until the fist half of 2005. The Negotiation will be terminated until the end of 2005 but now, it is impossible to predict the exact conclusion of the Negotiation. There is a sharp conflict of opinion on the WTO/DDA Negotiation on the Fisheries Subsidies between FFG(Fish Friends Groups : USA, New Zealand etc) and Anti-FFG(Rep. Korea, Japan etc). The Fisheries Subsidies is regulated by the WTO/DDA Negotiation that regulates on the subsidies of industrial products, fisheries products, forest products. Considering the progress of the WTO/DDA Negotiation on the Fisheries Subsidies, Guidelines for the Fisheries Subsidies Negotiation were established in Doha Ministerial Declaration at 2001 and a necessity of a special regulation on the Fisheries Subsidies has been discussed from 2002 to 2004. After june, 2004, the Negotiation was proceeding as Rep. Korea, Japan and Taiwan agreed with discussing a special regulation on the Fisheries Subsidies and At 1st, August, 2004, they reached an agreement on a necessity of a special regulation on the Fisheries Subsidies. At Feb, 2005, discussion was suspended because of presenting the joint proposal from 3 countries(Rep. Korea, Japan and Taiwan) and now discussion on the Fisheries Subsidies is giving the first consideration to classification of prohibited/non-actionable subsidies, S&D of a developing countries, small fisheries, problems of farming, grace period etc. From now on, Considering the 18th~the 20th negotiations, it is expected that discussion of fisheries subsidies regulation including property and range of prohibited/non-actionable subsidies, S&D of a developing countries, a definition of small fisheries is accelerated. In this point of view, this paper analyzed and arranged every country's proposals holding our own position and took a survey to fishermen and fisheries experts about prohibited/non-actionable subsidies. In addition, this paper intends to suggest the way of future-negotiation and provides essential data to help government's policy making through analyzing prohibited/ non-actionable subsidies, farming subsidies, S&D of a developing countries, small scale fisheries.

This study aims to estimate the economic effect of Korea's transition to a developed country in WTO negotiations. If Korea develops into an advanced country, it must give up many advantages in the agricultural sector. In particular, limiting the scope of sensitive items, giving up the selection of special items, and drastic tariff reductions are expected to have greater negative effects on the agricultural sector. According to research results, Korea's GDP rose slightly from 0.2 to 0.8 percent following the DDA settlement. Especially when China is classified as an advanced country along with Korea, Korea's GDP appears to be growing even more. On the other hand, damage is expected in most areas of agriculture. The trade deficit in the agriculture sector is expected to widen as output in the agricultural sector decreases, and import growth exceeds export growth. In the non-agricultural sector, there are no significant differences in the change in WTO status. However, if China is grouped together as an advanced country, the export growth rate of the Korean manufacturing industry appears greater.

Since the launch of the GATT system, one of the most controversial topics in trade liberalization has been the conflict between culture and trade. The sticking point has been the necessity of cultural exceptions in trade rules. Some countries do not wish to allow further exceptions to basic principles even in cultural industry, while many other countries make their efforts to obtain "cultural safety valve." The latter group asserts that it is indispensable for the protection of cultural identity, whereas the former seems to doubt the truth of the assertion. That is because cultural policy measure possibly constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination between countries, or a disguised barriers to trade in cultural products. Unfortunately, cultural exceptions still remain unresolved in the WTO, the successor to the GATT. This paper is to review the history and rules of multilateral trading system on cultural industry, address the critical issues to deal with in the DDA negotiations, and lastly provide some perspectives on the appropriate shape of the cultural safety valve.

Anti-circumvention rules were discussed profoundly during the Uruguay Round and the DDA negotiations, although WTO members failed to reached an agreement to introduce it to the WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement. However, as the cases of circumvention of anti-dumping duties increase, a number of countries have enacted anti-circumvention regulations as part of their anti-dumping laws. This study aims to analyze anti-circumvention rules from the perspective of WTO law. After overviewing the object and purpose of anti-dumping and anti-circumvention regulations, it examines anti-circumvention regulations of the US, the EU, and India. Next, the study explores the possible WTO-inconsistent aspects of those regulations. Then, it discusses whether it would be preferable for countries not equipped with anti-circumvention regulations, such as Korea, to have one. Thereafter, this study proposes Korean government to introduce anti-circumvention rules into its anti-dumping law.
