Abstract

Free Trade Agreement(FTA) aims at abolishing tariffs on trade among nations or regions resulting in having a significant impact on maritime transportation and port. Korea made the first FTA with Chile in 2004 and the trade volume between two countries has seen significant increase. The literature on such impact, however, seems to be very limited. The main purpose of this study is, therefore, to analyze the impact of Korea-Chile Free Trade Agreement on the imported container throughput from Chile at the Busan Port. For this both cross-sectional and time series data are collected that comprise container throughput, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), import tariff, and maritime freight rate, from 2000 to 2011, and the gravity model is applied. The main result of the study shows that the dependent variables, GDP and import tariff are statistically significant, but the maritime freight rate is not consistent with regarding to statistical significance and parameter sign.

자유무역협정은 국가 또는 지역간에 교역의 장벽이 되는 관세를 폐지하는 것으로서 궁극적으로 해상운송 및 항만물동량에 영향을 미친다. 한국은 2004년 처음으로 칠레와 자유무역협정을 체결하였고 그 이후 양국간 교역이 크게 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 동 협정이 해상운송과 항만물동량에 미치는 여향을 분석한 연구는 극히 미흡하다. 이에 본 연구는 한-칠레 자유무역협정이 부산항에서 처리하는 대칠레 수입 컨테이너 물동량에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것을 주목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 2000년부터 2011년까지 물동량, GDP, 관세율, 해상운임 등을 포함하는 횡단면 자료와 시계열 자료가 결합된 패널자료를 수집하여 중력모형을 적용하였다. 분석 결과 GDP와 관세율은 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났으나 해상운임 변수는 통계적 유의성과 모수 부호에 일관성을 보이지 못하였다.
