    Korea’s ODA Policy for Fragile States in Asia

    Kwon, Yul; Lee, Sang Mi; Yoo, Aila | August 2016
    Abstract
    Since the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in New York in September 2015, increased attention has been placed on fragile states, where most people live under the poverty line. Because the SDGs focus more on marginalized people, it will become necessary to address issues concerning fragile and conflict-affected countries. Major donors have recognized the importance of supporting fragile states since the 1990s. They have each established strategies on fragility, and incorporated it into their country assistance strategies. Such emphasis on supporting fragile states was placed in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). However, 43% of the world’s impoverished population still leads a life in fragile states, and poverty is expected to become more concentrated in those countries by 2030. Therefore, the international community should invest more efforts into reducing poverty and meeting development needs in fragile or conflict-affected countries using multidimensional policy measures on fragility.

      The Effects of Economic Openness on Korea’s Income Distribution 

      Kim, Young Gui; Nahm, Sihoon; Keum, Hye Yoon; Kim, Nak-Nyeon (Korea Institute for International Economic Policy, 2018-05-23)

As income inequality became a social issue, external causes such as free trade, immigration, and international capital movements began to attract attention. Although Korea is a significant beneficiary country ...

      An Analysis of North Korea’s Operation Mechanism to Acquire Foreign Currency: Centered on the Mineral Sector (Anthracite, Iron Ore) 

      Lim, Sooho; Yang, Moomsoo; Rhee, Jungkyun (Korea Institute for International Economic Policy, 2018-05-02)
      The international community assumes that most of the profits from North Korea's mineral exports are diverted to the development of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) such as nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. This belief has led to the implementation of strong export sanctions since the beginning of 2016. UNSCR No. 2270 of March 2016 prohibits the export of anthracite, iron ore gold, titanium, ...

      The Republic of Korea’s Economic Growth and Catch-Up: Implications for the People’s Republic of China 

      Lee, Jong-Wha (Asian Development Bank Institute, 2016-04-15)
      This study investigates the economic growth and catch-up of the Republic of Korea over the past half-century. The gap of output per worker between the Republic of Korea and United States has decreased rapidly, as the Republic of Korea’s lower per capita income, relative to its potential level, has led to higher growth, confirming the prediction of a conditional convergence theory. Cross-country ...
