Empirical Investigations in Trade and Investment (EITI)
March 19-21, 2009
The Forum for Research in Empirical International Trade (FREIT) third annual “Empirical Investigations in Trade and Investment (EITI)” international conference took place at the Keio University Mita Campus March 19-21, 2009. The event was sponsored by the Keio University/Kyoto University Joint Global COE Program, and jointly organized by Professor Fukunari Kimura (Faculty of Economics, Keio University) and Dr. Jon Haveman (Founding Partner, Beacon Economics).
The EITI conference is held each year as a forum where young Western and Asian scholars pursuing empirical research on international trade can exchange information, and report on the latest research findings. The conference format allowed the participants to devote ample time to detailed investigations and deep discussions on one another’s research. There was also an active exchange of constructive comments regarding future research development possibilities.
