The Rise of South Korea's Soft Power in Europe
This study investigates public perceptions of South Korea in Europe empirically through a survey. Using expert assessments in 19 countries, the results show that Europeans perceive the economic and technological development of South Korea positively, but opinions are more mixed regarding its standing in politics, culture, and education. Furthermore, we find evidence of undervaluation, as South Korea is often regarded as a developing country witho…
Exporting the Korean Wave to Europe
The growing global popularity of South Korea’s culture, known as the Korean Wave, has contributed to the country’s economic growth by increasing not only the exports of its cultural goods but also pulling other types of exports. Using the theory of dynamic cultural proximity in international trade, this paper shows empirically that South Korea’s cultural exports multiply the exports of its consumption goods to Europe where traditional cultural ti…
The effect of social identity on integration of social minorities
This paper investigates the effect of a shared social identity on social behaviors of a marginalized population by focusing on North Korean refugees in South Korea. The findings of a behavioral experiment with North Korean refugees show that the common Korean identity can promote their integration in South Korea, despite considerable differences caused by seven-decade long separation between the two countries. Perceiving ethnic unity shared with …
A Bride Deficit and Marriage Migration in South Korea
This article empirically investigates whether cultural, genetic, and linguistic similarities between countries explain marriage migration. The empirical evidence supported by marriage migration data from South Korea shows that the bilateral similarities between Korea and spouse‐sending countries are important pull factors of marriage migration. Furthermore, the pull effects vary across different income levels of sending countries and between the …
Human Trafficking, A Shadow of Migration – Evidence from Germany
This paper investigates relationship between migration and human trafficking in Germany by analyzing macro-level data from 150 countries. The empirical results suggest that migrant networks of a specific source country pull human trafficking from that respective country. However, the migration effect varies across different income levels of source countries. The positive effect of migration on human trafficking decreases as income increases, and …
Measuring Anti‐Trafficking Policy—Integrating Text and Statistical Analyses
Objectives The objectives of this article are to review existing indices on anti‐trafficking policy and to propose a way to improve the policy indices. Methods The four existing indices—the 3P Index, the GRETA‐based Scorecard, the EuroStat, and the U.S. Tier‐Ranking—were compared regarding their contents, quantification methods, and the coverage of the data. In particular, the validity of the first two indices coded from qualitative information w…
