    South Korea has experienced a great U-turn in its inequality trends during the past few decades. In this paper, we explore the role of international trade in its wage inequality dynamics over the 1998-2012 period, using a unique household panel survey. Our analysis reveals that most of the overall wage inequality occurs within sectors and educational groups rather than between them. However, the share in total inequality of the "between" variation across sectors and educational groups has moderately increased over time. Furthermore, we document that almost the entire aggregate wage inequality in both manufacturing and services occurs within different trade exposure categories rather than between them, and this pattern is persistent through time. These results suggest that international trade might not be the main driving force behind the rising wage dispersion in South Korea in the last two decades

    This study examines non-governmental organizations' (NGOs) settlement assistance to North Korean migrants into South Korean society from 2006 to 2008. This paper argues that nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and clients need to develop an effective partnership in which trust is deeply grounded. This will not only facilitate effective service delivery and satisfactory cooperation, but also increase the likelihood of future cooperation between NGOs and clients. NGOs' settlement assistance to North Korean migrants in South Korea serves as a case study we developed from findings derived from in-depth interviews, which were conducted from November 2006 through June 2007, with follow-up conducted through August 2008. We draw to collaborative governance and trust theories that locate the development of public-private partnership and effectiveness of service provision to address a broader debate about the role of NGOs to mediate migrants' settlement in a host society

    In this paper, we examine the dynamic effect of tobacco control policies on tobacco consumption using the recent implementation of such policies in Korea. The results show that such policies discretely reduce the incidence and amount of tobacco consumptions. We document that after the initial drop, spending on tobacco products gradually recovered towards the pre-policy level. We also find that there is considerable heterogeneity in the persistence of the impact of tobacco control policies. For higher income households, the impact dissipated approximately six months after the implementation of the policy whereas for low-income households, it persisted through the first year
