A Study on Grasping the Feature of Trade between Korea and Chile and Plans to Promote Exports to Chile by Utilizing Trade Index

Korea-Chile ITA was settled in 2004. Exports to Chile increased 4.8times and had an positive impact on domestic production and employment during 7 years between 2004 and 2011. On the contrary, because of Chilian ITAs with countries other than Korea the effect of Chilian market preemption decreased. Therefore rather than only depending on ITA it is important to prepare a concrete and systematic confrontation strategy while understanding changing environments quickly. The purpose of this study is to identify Korea's promising export goods to Chile and to recommend some policy options to promote exports to Chile. To do this, this study analyses trade patterns between two countries and the competitiveness of Korea's export goods, usi.ng such various criteria of competitiveness as Comparative Advantage by Countries, Comparative Advantage by Import Structure, Relative Market Intensity, Comparative Advantage, and Trade Specialization Index. This study selected five promising groups of export goods to Chile on the basis of competitiveness, market share and trade specialization. It is expected that existing exporting commodities will remain main exporting items for a mid and short period of time and that among the commodities those that have current competitiveness and are situated in good market condition will keep competitive for a long time.
