English Abstract: In this paper, we try to explain the economic system in North Korea using a conceptual framework. To this end, we focus on the behavior patterns of North Korean economic agents and their interactions, conduct a questionnaire survey of North Korean economic experts about the North Korean economic system, and then utilize the results. In North Korea’s current economic system, both similarities and differences with certain phenomena displayed at various stages of economic reform in socialist nations were observed at the same time. Experts’ evaluations were divided. There were those who emphasized the universality of North Korea’s economic reforms, and those who emphasized its peculiarities. In the former case, it was emphasized that the content of North Korean reforms is similar to that seen in other socialist countries, especially in that the resource allocation mechanism was shifting from plan-oriented to plan and market parallel. In the latter case, North Korea's peculiarity stands out because of its political aspects, such as the third generation hereditary succession, and they noted the inequality of reforms by sector, such as price/ownership economically, and the nature of post-mortem approval of changes that have already occurred. In addition, the background of economic and financial difficulties is important for the formation of these plans / market coexistence systems. However, the policy of “self-rehabilitation” peculiar to North Korea is also a core factor that cannot be ignored. In particular, it is important that companies, individuals, institutions, and provinces, as well as the state, form the five core economic actors of the “self-rehabilitation” policy, and that they share an interest in the progress of marketization. Furthermore, the current economic system has a structural and irreversible character, rather than a temporary character, as the power class and the donju form a symbiotic relationship. Their economic activities form the core driving force behind the current economic system.","PeriodicalId":251645,"journal":{"name":"Bank of Korea Economic Research Institute Research Paper Series","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130088091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

English Abstract: This paper investigates the causes of decline in the elasticity of Korea’s goods exports with respect to global income in the post global financial crisis. Using international input-output tables from the years 2000 to 2019, I show that both the change in the international production structure and the change in the global final demand structure contributed to the decrease in the income elasticity, with the effect of the former relatively larger. The effect of the change in the international production structure on the income elasticity was driven by the steady localization of intermediate inputs in China, while the technological structure in countries such as the United States and China changed in higher input share of services which are low trade-inducing. In addition, the change in the global final demand structure was found to lower the income elasticity through increased service demand and substitution for imported goods. However, there were no negative effects from the increased share of emerging economies in global final demand. In the future, continuing expansion of service sectors in global economy and the localization of production to reduce global supply chain risks are likely to constrain the expansion of Korea’s exports even during a global economic recovery.","PeriodicalId":251645,"journal":{"name":"Bank of Korea Economic Research Institute Research Paper Series","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124907042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To do so, a monthly index of geopolitical risk from North Korea (the GPRNK index) is constructed using automated keyword searches in South Korean media. The GPRNK index, designed to capture both upside and downside risk, corroborates that geopolitical risk sharply increases with the occurrence of nuclear tests, missile launches, or military confrontations, and decreases significantly around the times of summit meetings or multilateral talks. Using firm-level data, we find that heightened geopolitical risk reduces stock returns, and that the reductions in stock returns are greater especially for large firms, firms with a higher share of domestic investors, and for firms with a higher ratio of fixed assets to total assets. These results suggest that international portfolio diversification and investment irreversibility are important channels through which geopolitical risk affects stock returns.","PeriodicalId":251645,"journal":{"name":"Bank of Korea Economic Research Institute Research Paper Series","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122522162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The capital stock estimate as of 2018 stands at 24% higher than that in 1989. The capital stock/GDP ratio as of 2018 is around 3.9 times, which is higher than 3.0, the ratio commonly observed in many advanced economies.

Since 2017, the economic growth rate has plummeted due to a further drop in the input growth rate and a significant drop in productivity in the wake of sanctions. We believe that the negative GDP growth rate during the so-called “Arduous March Period,” and the low growth seen in succeeding periods that has been characterized by idle capacity with a poverty trap, can be explained by a Harrod (1939)-Domar (1946) model based on the Leontief production function as outlined in Barro and Sala-i-Martin (1995). <br><br>As North Korea's growth conditions have deteriorated significantly due to the embargo on capital goods, it is required to improve its s","PeriodicalId":251645,"journal":{"name":"Bank of Korea Economic Research Institute Research Paper Series","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124941664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our empirical analysis of data from the Mine and Manufacturing Survey (2000-2017) shows that there is a positive correlation between exports and productivity.

We find that while the decrease in exports may have slowed or reduced the growth in productivity, the increase in exports did not necessarily increase productivity since 2000. In addition, we also find that changes in exports may affect the distribution of more productive producers, which are more likely to be affected by the decline in exports. We focus on the irreversibility of inputs as a possible explanation of the asymmetric relationship between exports and productivity growth.

Lilien (1982)의 부문 이동가설에 의하면 산업구조의 변화는 노동시장에서 마찰적 실업을 발생하고 실업을 증가시키는 주요 요인이다. 그런데 마찰적 실업은 동시에 경기상황에 의해 영향을 받을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 산업구조조정이 고용에 미치는 효과를 경기변동과의 의존성을 고려하여 살펴보았다. 그리고 산업구조조정이 GDP 증가에 긍정적이라고 보는 Kuznets 가설과 이에 대립되는 Baumol 효과를 분석함으로써 산업구조조정이 경제 성장에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 살펴보았다. 우리나라의 경제활동조사, 사업체노동력조사, 그리고 거시경제자료를 사용하여 실시한 분석결과는 다음과 같다. \u0000 \u0000첫째, 산업구조의 변화가 실업을 증가시키는 단기적 효과가 있으며 경기 수축 국면에서 구조조정의 효과가 더욱 크게 나타나서 우리나라의 경우에는 Lilien의 부문 이동가설이 실증적으로 유효한 것으로 판단되었다. 둘째, 산업구조조정은 구직과 구인(또는 실업과 빈 일자리)의 관계를 나타내는 베버리지 곡선을 이동시킴으로써 일자리 매칭의 효율성을 감소시키는 결과를 보였다. 특히, 경기변동에 따라 수축 국면에서 매칭 비효율성이 더욱 크게 나타났다. 셋째, 산업구조의 변화가 GDP 성장에 미치는 중장기적 효과가 유의하게 나타났으며 산업구조조정과 함께 자원의 재배치가 이루어지는데 생산성이 높은 부문으로 자원의 재배치가 이루어지면서 GDP 성장을 제고시킴으로써 Kuznets 가설에 부합하는 결과를 얻었다. \u0000 \u0000이러한 결과를 감안할 때, 4차 산업혁명을 견인할 수 있는 신산업중심으 로 빠르게 산업구조를 재편하는 정책을 추진할 경우 자원의 효율적 배분, 기술혁신 등을 통해 우리 경제의 성장세를 높이는 데 도움이 될 수 있을 것 으로 생각된다. 다만 이러한 산업구조조정 과정에서 단기적으로 유발되는 고용감소에 따른 충격을 완화하기 위해 노동의 유연‧안전성과 일자리 매 칭 효율성 증대 등의 정책을 모색할 필요성이 큰 것으로 판단된다. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000English Abstract: In this research, we explored the effects of changes in industrial structure due to industrial restructuring on employment and growth in the Korean economy. To that end, we first checked the impact of industrial restructuring on employment through Lilien’s sectoral shift hypothesis, considering the dependence of industrial restructuring on business cycles. As a result of the analysis, it was found that changes in the industrial structure had a short-term effect of increasing unemployment, and that the effects of industrial restructuring were even greater during the economic downturn. In light of these points, Lilien’s sectoral shift hypothesis seems to be valid in Korea. Next, we examined the effect of industrial restructuring on economic growth in Korea by analyzing which one between Kuznetz hypothesis and Baumol effect is dominant. As a result of this analysis, the medium- to long-term effects of changes in the industrial structure on the GDP growth rate were revealed to be significant.
