Economic Development, Financial LiberalizationDownloadContentSummaryThis study studies policy implications of the phenomenon of 'bipolarization' in contemporary Korea by providing ample case studies of developed foreign countries in terms of bipolarization and policy responses. The phenomenon of bipolarization is a relatively new phenomenon, even in developed countries. Bipolarization has emerged as one of Korea's major problems, as its speed is unprecedentedand its scope is broad and comprehensive. In case of the United States, worsening income distribution has been observed, and the problem of poverty is now receiving special attention. (The rest is omitted.) -

V. Conclusion and ImplicationSummaryKorea and ASEAN, aiming to conclude an FTA in 2006, began the first round of negotiations on February 22 to 25 and concluded the seventh round as of October11 to 14 in 2005. It is agreed that IPR is one of the remaining issues in negotiating economic cooperation between the two entities. Under worries that any positive effects of an FTA will be negated in the event of inadequate IPR protection, this paper analyzes the IPR policiesof ASEAN and its members, and draws implications for a Korea-ASEAN FTA.

A goal for the second and third quarters of 2006 is to have a continuous growth momentum greater than a long term trend line. Also, in the second half of 2006, the negative effects of consumption, investment, and real GDP growth are expected to increase because of the rise inworldwide interest rates.

SummaryWhen one attempts to put the enhanced economic cooperation among the Northeast Asian countries (NEA) into perspective, it is necessary to understand industrial linkages among the countries concerned. For this purpose, this paper intends to compile a simple NEA (North Korea, South Korea, China, Japan and Mongolia) regional I-O table for 2002. On this basis, this paper attempts to work out basic simulations in order to clarify the structure of dependency of North Korea on the economies in Northeast Asia. -

Economic Opening, Trade StructureDownloadContent없음.SummaryChina has been integrating its market into the world market, most notably after its accession to the WTO in 2001. Accompanying China's open door policy has been the rapid growth of intra-regional trade between China, Japan and Korea (hereafter CJK). Between 2000 and 2004, the growth rate of Korea's intra-regional trade with China and Japan increased twofold, compared to its trade with the rest of the world. (The rest is omitted.) -

This report analyses the effects of a CJK FTA on the Korean agricultural sector under the framework of the computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, neglected in the second-year report, and looks at policy implications for the Korean economy, including policy strategies and action plans to cope with a CJK FTA. The first report analyzed the agricultural production structure of the three countries and the trade structure between them. The second-year report analyzed the economic impact of an FTA on the agricultural sector, utilizing the analytical framework of the partial equilibrium model, focusing on the specialization effects of an FTA, thus neglecting feedback effects of the macro-economy.

The focus of this report is the impact of an FTA on the Korean agricultural sector, and subsequent policy implications for the Korean economy. This is done under the framework of the computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, after analyzing the agricultural trade and the competitiveness of agricultural products between the two countries. Agricultural issues that will arise during Korea-U.S. FTA negotiations and Korea's policy strategies and action plans for an FTA will be investigated in detail next year. (The rest is omitted.)
