Regulatory reform, Foreign direct investmentDownloadContentSummaryOver the recent years, the competitiveness to foster business-friendly environment is intensifying. Both developed countries such as the United States, Ireland, Singapore and Hong Kong are promoting various plans to provide a solid environment for businesses. Moreover, countries including China and the United Arab Emirates created special economic zones in efforts to ease regulations and to attract investment. As a result of such trends, concerns over Korea's low attractiveness for investment on special economic zones relative to other regions are escalating. This study reveals the future directions and improvements for free economic zones by analyzing basic conditions for attracting foreign investors in Korea, Shenzhen, developed countries like Singapore and Hong Kong, and Dubai, a city that is rapidly growing by attracting foreign investment.

Economic development, Environmental policyDownloadContentSummary'Green Growth' and 'Green Business', which are new concepts growing in popularity, suggest a new paradigm for economic development, and the EU is the center of this growth.
The EU is most actively implementing many measures for environmental protection and sustainable development. The EU uses the Eco-label, environmental tax, environmental monitoring system, CE mark, and so on. The EU tries to prevent cliamte change particularly via the incentive mechanism of price rather than direct regulation. Therefore, the EU is the best benchmarking target for the Korea to implement policy to prevent climate change and a policy of pro-environmental energy.(The rest is omitted.) -

AppendixSummaryThe Purchasing Price Parity states that international relative price differentials should be arbitraged away so that identical goods in different countries should sell for the same price, when expressed in a common currency. Yet the evidence from the empirical literature shows that not only are relative prices quite different across countries, but also such deviations are highly volatile and persistent. These characteristics of the real exchange rate have been the central puzzle in international macroeconomics literature, with the source of the puzzling behavior remaining unclear.
