DownloadContentSummaryIn order to formulate national economic policy, economic analysis, in particular theoretical analysis, is more important than widely recognized.
Although political compromise affects economic policy, decisions from bureaucracy are generally based on coherent theory such as economic analysis.In addition, as the important effects of economic policy tend to be indirect, it is essential that the approach to formulating this policy try to see the big picture, anticipating the effects of policy.
This report suggests that theoretical analysis of an economy using mathematical models is the most effective method of predicting the general effects of economic policy. -

Capital Market, Exchange RateDownloadContentSummaryThis report estimates that there are some noticeable features in the foreign exchange rate fluctuations in the Korean market. Using a Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model on daily won-dollar exchange rate fluctuations, it was found that the range is higher for devaluation than for revaluation. In other words, the more the foreign exchange rate rises, the more risk increases.
So far, the Korean government has implemented risk management measures for the foreign exchange rate by devaluating the won price to maintain the competitiveness of exports and minimize risk, limiting the range of exchange rate fluctuations.
The report suggests that it is time for Korean companies to improve their risk management, specifically improving exclusive responsibility.
The report suggests that in preparing to use the floating foreign exchange rate system, Korean companies have to analyze systematically its risk and learn advanced methods such as forward exchange, currency futures and currency options. -
