수입 자유 화 의 경제 적 효과 분석 ( The economic impacts of trade liberalization on imports ) 
 This research proposes ways to create new import policies and analyzes the economic effects of import liberalization on Korean industry in terms of import liberalization measures implemented since 1978 . 
 Until the open - door policy of Korea was enacted , the most important factor when considering import liberalization was domestic economy shock . Until now , open - door policy was enacted only in industries that were competitive or in which investments were made . Since then , instead of considering national competitiveness , the government is putting an emphasis on open - door policy itself , and opening up industries which have not been a part of the open - door policy . However , as the government postponed the liberalization of imports in some areas where the overall degree of export specialization was low or for industries that play a comparatively important role in the economy , it appears that the most prominent factors in deciding whether or not a country should advance liberalization of import are minimizing shock and contributing to the country ’ s trade balance . 
 It is difficult to say that there are positive effects of opening the market , since the macroeconomic conditions are trending towards import inducement , while Korea is currently facing increasing demand for reducing non - tariff barriers . We are starting to have a discussion about opening other industries such as the Korean agro - industry and the service industry in the future . Therefore , we should be more careful when deciding whether or not to implement open - door policies including import liberalization .
