Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) hosted the "Asia-Pacific Finance and Economics Forum" on December 10, 2019. The forum was held as a special part of an international forum, the "SKKU-ZJU International Conference on Economics and Finance" hosted by Doojin Ryu from the Department of Economics.
The presenters of the special forum were chosen among renowned scholars in the fields of financial economics and cutting-edge financial engineering from Korea, the United States, China, and Japan, including Robert Webb, a chair-professor from the University of Virginia and Jiro Akahori, a prominent financial engineer from Japan.
"I hosted this special conference due to SKKU members' huge interest in the special lecture given by Professor Robert C. Merton, the Nobel Prize winner in economics. The prominent presenters were not only from the academic field but also from actual work-sites and have delivered presentations with profound insights into cutting-edge financial markets. Thus, I strongly believe all of the participants had a meaningful experience," said Prof. Ryu.
