“…They found that the most robust linkage between the sub-accounts is between FDI and trade in the manufacturing sector. Kim and Lee (2014) studied the interaction between trade and FDI from South Korea to India and found a unidirectional link between trade and FDI, but not vice versa. They found that exports of South Korea to India positively affect the growth of the outward FDI of South Korea into India.…”

The article is concerned with the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) flows and exports and asks if these two flows are substitutes or complement each other. Empirical work in this area employing industry- or country-level data has generally found a positive or complementary relationship between exports and FDI. Our empirical strategy is different in that we try to throw some light on the issue of substitution versus complementarity between FDI and exports by carrying out econometric analyses directed at assessing how India’s mass termination of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) in March 2017 and such BIT terminations during September–December 2016 and April 2017 to December 2018 impacted India’s FDI inflows and imports. Our finding of a significant negative effect of BIT termination on FDI inflows, corroborating the findings of two earlier studies and the finding of a significant positive impact of BIT termination of India’s imports is conceivably reconcilable only if there is a substitution relationship between FDI and exports. Hence, we find some empirical evidence of a substitution relationship between FDI and exports—at least, this has been the relationship between India’s inflow of FDI and the inflow of goods as imports, if not valid for other countries.

“…The MCA is similar to the concept of RCA measuring comparative advantage in the global market; however, MCA captures that in a distinct country 10 . Export competitiveness can be different depending on market size and it is necessary to revise RCA to show comparative advantage in a specific country (Kim et al 1997;Kim 2009).…”

India and the Republic of Korea (ROK) are on the path to forging deeper economic cooperation. Both countries signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership in 2009, which was in effect in 2010, and agreed to reduce and/or eliminate tariffs on goods. In this paper, we examine the sectors—both merchandise goods and services—where India and the ROK have a comparative advantage. We analyze the tariffs and non-tariff measures in the context of India–ROK trade and the gains from trade that can result from a reduction in tariff barriers. Our results suggest that India has a comparative advantage in services and the ROK in merchandise goods. Therefore, future negotiations must focus on India offering market access to the ROK’s merchandise goods and the ROK providing access to India’s services.

“…Based on the aforesaid data, South Korean scholars have been actively conducting research on North Korea's international trade. Earlier studies on North Korea's trade or the impacts of economic sanctions against North Korea were conducted by KOTRA (), Lim (), Lee (), Kim (,), and Jeong and Bang (). Although the research of these authors focuses on North Korea's trade with different aspects and methodology, two articles are relevant to our analysis, namely a report conducted by Kim () and a working paper conducted by Jeong and Bang ().…”

United Nations Sanctions on North Korea's Luxury Goods Imports: Impact and Implications

This article examines the impacts of UN Security Council sanctions on North Korea's banned luxury goods imports from 2004 to 2017 by investigating the bilateral trade flows between North Korea and its 71 trading partner countries. This analysis provides some evidence that the sanctions were effective only for those countries that implemented the sanctions. Overall, it is difficult to conclude that United Nations Resolution 1718, which was mainly targeted to ban luxury goods exports to North Korea, was effective in curtailing North Korea's import of luxury goods for the time period from 2006 to 2007. The article argues that the lack of a clearly defined list of luxury goods and the lack of enforcement are important reasons for the ineffectiveness of the sanctions.
