Economic Integration, Economic CooperationDownloadContentSummaryThis report assesses how rules of origin policy have affected trade barriers resulting in discrimination. It points out that the level of the rules of origin would change the formation of investment and procurement of foreign companies and that it has influenced the distribution of resources within the area substantially.
By comparing these developed countries' rules of origin policy, this study suggests some implications for Korean's rules of origin.
Sections I outlines the structure, class, international standard and economic effect of rules of origin. Section II presents the non-preferential and preferential rules of origin in the United States. Section III presents the general rules of origin and its preferential rules of origin in the EC, exploring some of the development and business implications of trade facilitation in Economic and Social Commission for Asia and Pacific (ESCAP) countries. Section IV presents the general rules of origin and Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) applied preferential rules of origin in Japan.
Executive summary and policy implications are provided in Section V. -

Trade DisputeDownloadContentSummaryThe Japanese distribution system is well known as being too long and complicated to understand due to Japanese-specific distribution practices such as distribution affiliates, differentiated rebates, fixed retail pricing and the return of goods. The Japanese distribution system may have rationale if it saves transaction costs by sustaining long-term transactions that can induce shared communication and flexibility. However, the Japanese distribution system with partial rationale can also exist in the form of non-tariff barriers, and closed and often unfair terms for foreign firms when they enter the Japanese market.
This study examines the Japanese distribution barriers as one of most important non-tariff barriers of the Japanese market and gives implications for the Korea-Japan trade policy. -

DownloadContentSummaryIt has been more than one year since the signing of the State Treaty of Monetary, Economic and Social Union between East and West Germany, providing the grounds for German unification. Contrary to initial hopes and expectations, the economic performance of former East Germany has continued to experience great difficulties. In order to minimize the economic impact and problems during and after the unification of the two Korean economies, it is essential to study the progress of German unification.
Accordingly, this paper evaluates the German unification from an economic perspective, exploring directions for possible unification on the Korean peninsula.
