Digital platforms have played a crucial role in fostering a platform economy. Our high dependence on digital platforms makes us think about the right level of regulation for them. The U.S. competition authorities and Congress have paid attention to killer acquisitions because of their negative impacts on competition in the U.S. digital platform market.

This study investigates the significance of India's emergence as the world's most populous nation in 2023, surpassing China, and its consequential implications for economic growth. With a focus on the demographic dividend driven by working-age and prime-age populations, we analyze the effects of shifting age distribution on India's labor force, labor market, and economic drivers. Extending the study period by integrating additional datasets, we examine per capita GDP growth, sectoral value-added, and employment shifts at the state level.

This study indirectly estimates the impact of implementation of the Biden government’s supply chain restructuring policy on the U.S. and Korean economies, and derives policy implications accordingly. For the first analysis to indirectly examine the economic impact of the global supply chain reorganization of the semiconductor and battery industries, we estimate the impact of changes in the export share of the semiconductor or battery industry by country on the change in GDP per capita.

Jang et al. (2022) investigate the recent shifts in the European Union's medium- to long-term trade strategies, which have evolved in response to a rapidly changing global trade landscape. We closely examine the policy domains currently in the EU's spotlight, including supply chain resilience, digitalization, tackling climate change, and public health crisis management.

As the global complex crisis in the international community grows, the paradigm of international development cooperation is also facing a major change. This is because international development conditions have rapidly deteriorated since the COVID-19 pandemic.
본 논문에서는 로봇화(robotization)가 외국인직접투자(FDI)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 이론적 모델을 구축하여 로봇화가 외국인직접투자에 미치는 영향을 예측하고 이론 모형의 결과를 실증적으로 검증하였다. 구축한 이론 모형에 따르면, 산업 로봇의 외생적(exogenous) 증가는 로봇 대여가격(rental rate)과 직무 수행에 드는 국내 비용을 모두 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 국내에서 더 많은 작업을 수행하는 것이 수익성을 더욱 높여 결국 FDA가 감소하게 된다. 실증분석 결과는 이러한 이론적 결과를 뒷받침하고 있다. 실증분석 결과, 한 국가의 로봇화는 해당국가의 해외직접투자를 줄이지만, 이러한 부정적인 영향의 크기는 지역별로 다르게 나타났다.
