Abstract: Abstract As the Korean economy grew rapidly in the past century, market integration took place, driven by improvements in transportation, postal services, and telecommunications, including the Internet. The capital inflows set off by the port opening in 1876 financed the construction of the first ever railway line linking Seoul, the capital city, and Inchon, a port city 27 km to the west, as well as the introduction of postal services and the telegraph.
