This study analyze the effects of FTA, K-move, and firm type on the export of cultural goods using Korea trade data over 2012-22. The empirical results show that FTA has no effects on the export of cultural goods, but negative effects on the export of art products. This is due to the low level of FTA utilization caused by zero tariff or small rates of tariff from major export partners. However, Kmove has statistically positive signs on the export, implying that Kmove has a critical role in increasing the export. On the other hand, the large firms have positive effects on the export, but the SME has positively affected on only the export of printing industries. Mid-large firms are insignificantly related with the export. Other firms are not found to have no competitiveness in the export market. Based on these results, this study present policy implications to improve the export of cultural products.
