The 2013 Import and Export Market for Tubes, Pipes, and Hoses of Unhardened Vulcanized Rubber That Have Been Reinforced with Metal Excluding Fittings in South Korea

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on tubes, pipes, and hoses of unhardened vulcanized rubber that have been reinforced with metal excluding fittings in South Korea face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying tubes, pipes, and hoses of unhardened vulcanized rubber that have been reinforced with metal excluding fittings to South Korea? How important is South Korea compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of tubes, pipes, and hoses of unhardened vulcanized rubber that have been reinforced with metal excluding fittings vary from one country of origin to another in South Korea?

I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for tubes, pipes, and hoses of unhardened vulcanized rubber that have been reinforced with metal excluding fittings for those countries serving South Korea via exports, or supplying from South Korea via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing
