Undergraduate Students of Economics Published Their Papers in the A-level Journals

Professor Doo-Jin Ryu (Department of Economics) opened the undergraduate research credit system for the first time in the spring semester of 2020. With the co-authorship of Students (Yoon Koh, Dae-Hyun Park, and Jin-Hyung Cho) and their supervisor Prof. Ryu, they published their papers in the A-level Journals this semester, followed by the results of publishing prestigious academic journals last semester.

In the science or engineering fields, undergraduate students often participate in joint research of their academic supervisor and publish papers, however such cases in humanities and social sciences were rare until the establishment of undergraduate research credit system in the Department of Economics.
