Abstract

As Korea increases its trade with Asia, it is becoming more and more integrated with the other economies in the region. Theoretically, increase trade can lead business cycles across trading partners to be patterned in either direction, towards convergence or divergence. By using the data for twelve Asian economies, this paper finds that intra-industry trade is the major channel by which Korea's business cycle becomes more synchronized with that of other Asian economies, although increased trade itself does not necessarily lead to close business cycle coherence.
