| "Welcome to the Center for Economic Catch-up"
The CEC was started as a research unit belonging to a bigger institute, called the East Asia Institute founded in May 2002 by the initiative of former Prime Minister of Korea, Lee Hong-Koo. From 2008, it has become an independent legal person itself.
While the East Asia Institute strives to transform East Asia into a society of nations based on liberal democracy, market economy, open society, and peace, the CEC focuses on economic subjects. Specifically, it aims to conduct academic and policy-oriented research on the topics broadly related to the phenomenon of economic catch-up which refers to catch-up by the late-comer firms and economies with the forerunning firms and economies in terms of economic well-being.
It has been doing research on the following issues: capability building of the private sector in developing countries; innovation and technological strategies, industrial and trade policies, corporate governance and firm growth, IPR policies and strategies, university-industry linkages, human capital development and learning.
