Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP) has expanded its cooperative relations with the world since it took the role of the hub of regional studies in public research areas of Korea. As a part of our systematic efforts to foster international exchanges and build the knowledge based through interdisciplinary collaboration, The Center for Regional Economic Studies (CRES) initiated a researcher-exchange program called CRES Visiting Fellows Program in 2008. The program brings together influential professionals from academia and the public sector to advance individual, institutional and national understanding of regional economic matters and to improve international cooperation on related research. This volume is a part of our achievements through the program and we hope this proceeding would work as another channel to deepen the understanding of regional economies in Korea.
