DownloadContentSummaryThe service sector is gaining importance in the Korean economy, with its share of production and employment increasing 47.0 percent and 42.9 percent in 1989, respectively. As the Korean economy has grown, developed economies, the U.S. in particular, have strengthened regulations against imports to protect their the commodity market, urging for the overall liberalization of trade in finance, insurance, communications, distributions and business services. The liberalization of trade in services may result in improved productivity in other sectors, including manufacturing, due to the resulting access to a broader variety, better quality and lower input costs. Thus, the liberalization of services can bring potential gains in productivity in the service sector.
The study makes a comparative analysis of the productivity in the service industry and gives implications for the liberalization of trade in services. -

SummaryThe purpose of this article is twofold. First, it reviews the economic performances of the ANIEs during the last two decades and identifies some of their unique characteristics. Second, the article is aevoted to developing a formula in which the ANIEs can be a catalyst for regional economic growth, thereby contributing to narrowing the welfare gap among the three groups. This is one step towards the cooperative modality that Klein (1990) proposes. That is, as an alternative to an export-led growth strategy, developing economies in the region may form a new trading bloc such as a customs union, a currency union, or some more comprehensive form of economic integration. -

Overseas direct investmentDownloadContentSummaryThe European Community (EC), which liberalized from 1985 to 1992, is preparing to become the largest single international market. If the EC intra-market is liberalized, other countries, including Korea, will make profit. However, there is expected to be fierce competition between countries that are part of the EC and the rest of the world, as the EC integration will benefit member countries before transferring profits to other regions. Non-member countries have argued that EC integration may encourage Europe to fortify and to increase protection, so they have sought strategic ways to advance into the EC market. However, Korea has only taken basic countermeasures toward EC market integration. Accordingly, this study analyzes Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Conditions in the EC and predicts the effects of market integration on the Korean economy.
