Abstract Does a high-tech economy create fundamentally different places to other employment areas? This paper proposes a typology of small to medium scale high technology districts in terms of their physical environments rather than their economic features (which is the more common basis of such classifications). It defines a set of recognizable high tech places: corridors, clumps, cores, comprehensive campuses, tech subdivisions, and scattered tech sites.

  • Administrative Efficiency of National University Corporations in Japan
    Consulting Project PM11E004 Vargha Marton Gabor Administrative efficiency of National University Corporations in Japan A DEA and SFA analysis 1 Introduction In 2004 the Japanese higher education system experienced the biggest transformation since the Second World War. The government decided to relinquish direct control over national universities by incorporating them, resulting in significant administrative independence and increased flexibility. This was marketed as a significant step towards institution independence but expert opinion was mixed to say the least (see for example (Chan-Tiberghien 2006) or (Yamamoto 2004)). The main goal of this paper is to see whether administrative efficiency improved after the reform. The initial expectation is increased efficiency since one of the tools of the reform had been an increased autonomy in matters relating to personnel. Based on data published by the universities from 2004 to 2009, I use DEA, stochastic frontier (SFA) estimation and a method that is a mix of the two to examine the public higher education sector as a whole (86 institutions). These performance estimations can be used for three purposes: to provide an estimation of the relative inefficiency of the institutions, to observe the changes in average efficiency year by year and to provide ranking between the universities. Accordingly, performance estimations are used to estimate general relative yearly efficiency and with the help of OLS estimation the efficiency scores are regressed for environmental factors. Second, a ranking is made based on each estimation method and the 10 best and the 10 worst performing institutions are selected and examined with the help of a number of indicators.

  • Message from the President
    Welcome Message from the President We are very glad to be back to Bangkok to hold the 14th biennial convention of the East Asian Economic Association (EAEA14) again. Our 5th convention (EAEA5) was held here in 1996, the year before the Asian Financial Crisis began. Subsequently, we witnessed the painful process of economic rehabilitation in the region’s economies. Almost 10 years later, another big shock or the Global Financial Crisis hit them, though they were able to adjust better this time. The EAEA aims “to promote the advancement of economic science with particular reference to Asian economic problems.” We have been tested as to what extent this goal is attained in each convention. Let us turn these challenges into great opportunities. The region’s economies are often regarded as more resilient than those in other regions. They have achieved remarkable progress in industrialization, international trade and investment, macroeconomic management, and human capital formation, but they still face old and new problems in these and other areas. We can learn from these experiences by examining facts, analyzing mechanisms, and proposing policies and then share the knowledge with other regions. This convention heavily owes to many individuals and several private and public institutions. I sincerely hope that their efforts and contributions be fully utilized and rewarded with two days of hot and serious debate, which would be the best way to express our gratitude to them. Akira Kohsaka, Ph.D., Prof. President of the East Asian Economic Association Kwansei Gakuin University 1 Message from the Dean The Faculty of Economics, Chulalongkorn University, is delighted to host the 14th International Convention of the East Asian Economic Association during 1-2 November 2014 in Bangkok.
