From November 27 to 28, 2025, a faculty and student delegation from the college visited South Korea for academic exchanges. They visited the Catholic University of Korea and Yonsei University, participating in joint seminars on Economics and Finance, and Microeconomics, respectively. This event established a high-level bridge for inter-university academic dialogue. It not only created opportunities for transnational academic exchange but also facilitated the collision of ideas, mutual learning of experiences, and resource sharing in the field of economics between Chinese and Korean universities, laying a solid foundation for deeper future academic collaboration.

On November 27, at the seminar held at the Catholic University of Korea, Associate Professor Li Xiaoxi and Associate Professor Han Lining from the Department of Mathematical Economics and Mathematical Finance, along with four doctoral candidates—Li Zhangying, Wu Huiyan, Zhang Chenyu, and Gao Xiangyu—presented their cutting-edge research findings. In his presentation, Associate Professor Han Lining shared his research on resource allocation mechanisms, proposing a theoretical framework based on the sequential ranking of agent contributions, offering a new perspective for scenarios lacking quantitative indicators. Associate Professor Li Xiaoxi explored the design of optimal financial contracts under information asymmetry. Wu Huiyan focused on the impact of extreme temperatures on electricity consumption and production suspension behavior in the manufacturing sector, revealing the significant economic shocks caused by climate change. Li Zhangying incorporated global supply chain pressure and economic conditions into a quantile GARCH-MIDAS framework, providing a new approach for forecasting risks in the commodity market. Zhang Chenyu analyzed the impact of water resource allocation on the land market, using China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project as a case study. Gao Xiangyu examined the effects of China's centralized volume-based drug procurement policy on corporate innovation output.

Faculty and students from the Department of Economics at the Catholic University of Korea engaged in in-depth discussions with the Wuhan University delegation on research methodologies, model interpretability, and handling variable endogeneity, offering constructive suggestions for potential collaborative research in the future.

On the same day, Associate Researcher Zhang Shanshan was invited to attend the Sogang-JBEE Workshop on Behavioral and Experimental Economics at Sogang University, where she presented her latest research titled "The Sound of Cooperation and Deception When Stakes Are High." Based on data from the Gold Balls experiment and real judicial trials, the study explored the predictive role of voice characteristics on individual cooperative and deceptive behaviors across different contexts. The workshop gathered several renowned experts and young scholars in the field of behavioral and experimental economics in South Korea. In addition to sharing her findings, Associate Researcher Zhang Shanshan also engaged in thorough discussions with her Korean counterparts regarding future academic exchanges and collaborative opportunities.

On November 28, Professor Luo Zhi from the Department of Economics, Associate Professor Li Xiaoxi and Associate Professor Han Lining from the Department of Mathematical Economics and Mathematical Finance, Associate Researcher Zhang Shanshan, and several doctoral candidates visited Yonsei University to participate in a joint Microeconomics Seminar.

At the seminar, Associate Researcher Zhang Shanshan presented her research on voice characteristics and cooperative behavior, discussing the predictive role of voice features on individual cooperation and deception in different situations. Professor Duk Gyoo Kim and Professor Jihwan Do from Yonsei University presented their theoretical modeling and analysis on stochastic choice in grant applications and information spillover, respectively. Doctoral candidates Guo Yiting, Zhang Ningxin, Zhang Yinuo, and Gao Xiangyu shared their research findings on topics including lending tournaments, platform fee transparency, foreign ownership, and environmental protection expenditures.

During the afternoon thematic session, Associate Professor Han Lining, Professor Daeyoung Jeong from Yonsei University, Gao Xiangyu, and Wu Shuang led discussions on topics such as profit-sharing mechanisms, media persuasion games, the impact of drug procurement policies, and the dynamic relationship between fertility rates and public education policy.

This event marked the college's first time jointly organizing academic conferences and conducting in-depth academic exchanges with prestigious Korean universities. It aimed to establish a high-level platform for academic dialogue between Wuhan University and leading Korean institutions, promoting communication of ideas and sharing of experiences in the field of economics. Throughout the exchanges, our faculty and students fully demonstrated their research achievements, which possess both theoretical depth and practical value. This not only strengthened the foundation for establishing regularized international academic cooperation mechanisms in the future but also further expanded the college's international academic influence.
