In 2009, Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP) launched "Visiting Fellows Program (VFP)" with the view of advancing cross-border exchanges of knowledge, information, insights and expertise.

 Since its inception, the VFP has demonstrated that sharing thoughts and ideas through face-to-face contacts and dialogue works as a catalyst for enhancing mutual understanding among scholars and professionals with diverse background.

 By successfully implementing the VFP for the past 8 years, KIEP has been motivated to assume the role as a hub for international economic research in the region. As a host of the program, KIEP has many mandates. One of those tasks is to let more people know what has been accomplished through the program and how valuable it is.

 In an effort to do so, KIEP has published series of research every year. This volume, the 8th of its series, contains eight research papers contributed by 2016 Visiting Fellows.

 Publication owes many debts. Here I acknowledge just a few of them. First of all, I must express my deepest gratitude to the 2016 visiting fellows for their outstanding performances. My special thanks also goes to the Outreach Team and the staffs of the KIEP Publishing Team who worked very hard for the publication of this volume.

 The views expressed in this publication are the views of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of KIEP. KIEP does not guarantee the accuracy of the data included in the publication.
