SummaryThis is a work in progress. In this paper, I introduce a proto-type model of international trade in software. Software products are characterized by the high cost of enhancing the quality of the product and the low cost of distributing the product to consumers. After investigating the benefits and patterns of international trade, I look into the relative benefits of the developed and less developed countries in a dynamic context where leading-edge firms enjoy temporary monopoly profits. When the productivity growth factor is sufficiently large, the benefits to the North are larger than benefits to the South, and the South may try to redress the balance by resorting to distortional instruments such as tariffs. I analyze a non-distortional bargaining outcome.

SummaryThe Korean government has implemented various liberalization measures for foreign direct investment (FDI) as one of the main sources for fostering economic development. FDI, particularly in high-tech industries, has been recognized as a catalyst to facilitate industrial restructuring of the Korea economy. Furthermore, it would also enhance Korea`s competitiveness in the international market since FDI tends to bring with it various advanced technologies. Liberalization of FDI in Korea has been paralleled by the government`s efforts to improve the domestic investment environment. Foreign firms operating in Korea have increasingly been given equal protection and fair treatment comparable to domestic firms, and foreign investors are now allowed to participate in a wider range of investment activities than ever before. All of these have resulted in freer and fairer competition in the Korean economy. -

SummaryThe major purpose of this paper is to review cross-border alliances ad catalysts for Korean firms in globalizing their business operations, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, and as strategies for their technology development and technology sharing. In this context, this paper tries to provide a perspective from a small country outside of the Triad powers. The three central questions raised in this paper are: One, I ask what implications the dynamically changing global environment have for the Korean management system and for the trade and industrial policy of the Korean government in the future. Two, an attempt is made to examine the role of the Korean government in facilitation the formation of technology alliances by asking how it has participated in enhancing competitiveness of the firm, and whether it has liberalized Korea's investment climate and properly protected intellectual property rights to a sufficient degree. Finally, due to the increasingly global nature of business activities, I question whether the rules of international trade manifested in the WTO are effective and objective in coping with bilateral trade disputed occurring in high-technology trade.

Economic cooperationDownloadContentSummaryThe conference's aim was to evaluate the economic, political, and security facets of Yellow Sea rim economic cooperation and to learn more about the nature of economic interdependence that such cooperation might imply. All too often, these questions are addressed by only one group of experts, with political scientists, security analysts, and economists focused on separate themes and issues. The intent of this conference was to bring the benefit of combined expertise to bear on the larger question of the nation-state's vitality and viability in an era of economic globalization and fluid political and security relations. By focusing on the subregional level, we hope to gain insight on new forms of economic ties may inform and help shape the larger economic and political strategies of the nation-state. -

Firms/John M StopfordSummarySince APEC had its first meeting at Canberra in 1989, APEC has grown in function and role, following the need to strengthen economic ties among Asia-Pacific economies. As the first official intergovernmental cooperative body in the Asia-Pacific region, APEC pursues concrete benefits from economic cooperation, while respecting the diversity of the member economies. APEC adopted the decision process of consensus building and has been operating in a forum mode where opinions have been gathered through discussions and consultations rather than through binding agreements or institutional provision. However, a high probability exists that APEC will hereafter develop into a more binding economic cooperative body, as the APEC Leaders Meetings began in 1993 and the Action Agenda for the promotion of tangible economic coooperation was adopted in 1995.
