The Effect of FTA on Environmental Performances of Korean Electrics and Electronics Firms

Purpose– This paper analyzes the effects of FTA on the environmental performances of Korean Electrotechnics and Electronics manufacturing firms. Design/methodology/approach–We used the data of Target Management Enterprises(TMEs) firms that are regulated by the government in the area of greenhouse gas and energy. We investigated the changes in environmental performances of the firms after spread of the FTA(2011). This study applied DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) in order to measure the environmental performance, which can provide the Malmquist index and Malmquist-Luenberger index. Findings– As a result of the analysis, we found that the productivity of firms was lowered as the environmental regulation started but the environmental improvement effect gradually increased by regression analysis. These results show that firms are in accordance with the government’s environmental policy and the FTA had a positive impact on the environmental performances. Research Implications or Originality–Unlike previous studies, actual environmental performance was analyzed using corporate data. In particular, it is meaningful that new indicators have been presented to this end, and we can show the effects of environmental improvement effects in terms of quantitative measure.
