 The Analysis of Effects of Enhancement Policies for FTA Export Utilization RateTaeil Kang and Giseok Nam SAGE Open, 2022, vol. 12, issue 2, 21582440221100442 Abstract: As the number of FTAs signed by Korea increases, the issue of enhancing utilization in export, which can be called as the fruits of FTAs in terms of trade policies, is attracting a lot of attention. Concerning FTA utilization in export, the government has been making various efforts to increase credibility to origin-related documents including certificate of origin, to increase the approved exporters, and has been spending a lot of financial and human resources on publicity so that more businesses can access the information on origin. These policies taken by the government were confirmed to be mostly useful in enhancing FTA utilization in export by theoretical models and statistical analysis. Even in the case of some policies not confirmed yet, their effects will be proven in the near future through empirical data after the history of FTAs becomes longer. However, there are also some points to be improved to constantly promote FTA utilization. That is, policymakers need to make FTA contracting parties honor the other party’s approved exporter, reduce burdens of FTA utilization caused by post verification, and strengthen cooperation and collaboration with related agencies.
