Structural Adjustment of Korea in Zaibatsu, Financial Sector, and Manufacturing Industry: Focusing on Relations with Japan after Asian Currency Crisis

我们通过七次访问韩国，调查了韩国经济的实际情况。我们在KIEP举办了研讨会，并在韩国国际金融中心获得了有关金融合作的信息。我们访问了现代汽车公司和起亚汽车公司及其零部件公司，韩国金融研究所，三星经济研究所，韩国商工会议所，KIET，以获得有关韩国金融，企业，劳动，公共部门结构改革的信息。在我们的项目标题下，我们进行了实地研究，并调查了韩国的经济改革，1997年亚洲金融危机后。我们的重点是解散财阀、金融体系的改革和制造业的重组。我们调查了韩国经济的实际情况，并与日本经济进行了比较。此外，还对日韩FTA的形成、制造业的合作与共存、日韩金融合作、金融业的合作与共存等进行了调查。具体来说，我们明确了以下几点。在财阀问题的解决上，分析了韩国财阀治理的完善机制和实现财阀治理现代化的途径.关于韩国的金融改革，考察了在从间接金融体制向直接金融体制转变的过程中，如何稳定金融体制.关于FTA和制造业的共存，研究发现，寡头垄断下的分工形式更适合日韩两国，日韩合作是东亚合作的一大动力.东亚区域货币区在宏观经济指标上并不是不现实的，与欧盟的欧元相比，我们的研究成果发表在学术期刊论文上，并汇编成册。

Our focuses are on dissolution of zaibatsu, on reform of financial system, and on reorganization of manufacturing industry. We investigated the actual conditions of the Korea economy, comparing to the Japanese economy. We also included investigation about a formation of FTA between Japan and Korea, about cooperation/coexistence of manufacturing sectors, about financial cooperation between Japan and Korea, and about cooperation/coexistence of financial sectors. More specifically, we made clear the following points.1. About resolution of Korean zaibatsu, the better system of cooperate governance and the way to modernize the system is analyzed.2. About financial reform in Korea, how to stabilize the financial system in the process from an indirect financial system to a direct financial system is investigated.3. About FTA and about coexistence in manufacturing sectors, it is found that the form of division of labor under oligopoly is more appropriate in the case of Japan and Korea, and the Japan-Korea cooperation is a big momentum for East Asia cooperation.4. Regional currency area in East Asia is not unrealistic in macro economic indices, comparing the case of Euro of EU.Our researches are published in paper of academic journal and compiled into one book.
