On September 4, the Graduate School of Economics and Business Administration held the Fifth Joint Seminar with Yeungnam University's College of Commerce and Economics. This seminar has been organized biennially since 2001 on the basis of the academic exchange agreement. The program ran from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in three sessions, and a total of eight lecturers- including five from Yeungnam University - made presentations in English. The themes of the presentations covered a wide range of fields in economy, business administration and accounting, including "Presidential Diplomacy and International Trade: The Case of Korea," "Two Approaches to the Private Sector's Accounting Method in the Governmental Accounting of Japan," "Oil and the Macroeconomy: The Case of Korea," "Outperformance of Socially Responsible Investing: Evidence in Korea," "Behavioral Consequences of Changes in the Design and Use of Performance Measurement Systems," "A Study of Factors Affecting Usage Intentions of Mobile TV Service" and "A Network of ROSCAs (Rotating Savings and Credit Associations): Empirical Analysis in Uzbekistan." With a variety of participants, including the Dean, faculty members and students of the Graduate School of Economics and Business Administration as well as overseas researchers, the subsequent Q&A exchange became so lively that the session ran out of time. Seminar participants were able to learn about the directions of interest and the details of work by Japanese and Korean researchers in fields outside their areas of expertise, and enjoyed extensive discussions. The joint seminar provided a splendid opportunity for international interdisciplinary academic exchanges. It is considered that participants gained invaluable experience that could not have been obtained at regular academic conferences in their areas of expertise.
