Abstract
After Korea-Chile FTA became effective since 2004, Korea has made multiple free trade agreements with 47 countries including United States and European Union, and is currently negotiating upcoming free trade agreements with other countries, such as Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Australia, and New Zealand. Along with the global spread of trade liberalization, it is necessary to evaluate the post-effects of FTA that came into effect and the strategies for the upcoming FTAs. However, prior reports and papers analyzing the effects of FTA were mainly focused on evaluating its economic effects on goods, while most of FTAs are influential not only on product sector but also on investment and service sectors. In particular, since foreign direct investment (FDI) is directly and indirectly related to goods trade, FTA is also associated with foreign direct investment sectors. This report analyzes the effects of FTA on outward and inward foreign direct investment (IFDI and OFDI) of Korea. Our report provides detailed analysis on the contents of FDI openness in the trade agreement and construct FDI openness indices by dividing investment sectors from the previous 8 free trade agreements that became effective into 5 sectors and 25 sub-sectors and quantifying FDI openness based on those sub-sectors. By adding our constructed FDI openness indices to the regression, we find that FTA significantly increases both IFDI and OFDI in the short run. Examining the effects of investment liberalization on IFDI and OFDI, the results indicate that investment liberalization from FTA increases IFDI. In particular, its magnitude becomes larger as investor-state dispute settlement is included in the chapter of agreement. (The rest omitted)
