The  importance of exportand the acknowledged need to accelerate the  process, however, raise the problem of providing analytical  understanding of Korea's export performance.  The objectives of this study is to assess the major  determinants of export growth so that exporters and policy makers  can appreciate the problems surrounding past export performance.  Other possible sources of export growth such as productivity  improvements and R&D expenditure are also examined.  The Constant Market Share <CMS> model was adopted to assess  the relative influence of various factors behind high export  growth. Export growth factors by commodity groups and by market  destinations are also examined by the transformed CMS model.  Empirical results show that world demand increase and  competitiveness effect were the main factors affecting Korean  export growth in world markets during 1977- 1981 and 1981 - 1984  respectively. Result also shows that heavy and chemical products  improved their competitiveness while simple labor-intensive  products appeared to lose their competitiveness.  It also shows the emergence of Asian countries as a potential  market for Korean products. A notable suggestion is the  improvements of competitiveness in major markets especially in  the U. S.  Possible sources of export growth especially with respect  to competitiveness were examined. Results indicate that  improvement of non - price competitiveness of exportable goods  should be strengthened, and some price competitiveness such as  productivity increase should also be pursued to maintain and  increase Korea's export growth.  0aExport marketingxKorea1 aTang, John C.S.,eChairperson1 aTabucanon, Mario T.,eExamination Committee1 aVanchai Ariyabuddhiphongs, eExamination Committee2 aGovernment of Federal Republic of Germany, eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
