Abstract: The impact of environmental protection and climate change policies on trade is increasing. This trend is international, and carries important implications for Korean manufacturing, which is highly dependent on trade. There exists a a pressing need to preemptively identify the impact of environmental TBT in major countries on the exports of Korean manufacturing industries in order to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic industries and prepare countermeasures. Against this backdrop, this paper analyzes the impact of environmental TBT on Korea’s exports through empirical analysis and identifies implications for policy.
