Economic Policies for Risk Reduction and Trade in East Asia under International Asymmetric Information in the Case of Food

世界经济的全球化增加了贸易国之间信息不对称所产生的风险。我们研究了如何通过贸易国的合作来科普这种风险。在国际食品贸易方面，我们研究了进口食品检验、对虚假食品实施罚款等各项政策，以保护健康免受损害。我们还从食品安全的角度对东亚地区的食品供应体系进行了调查，得出的结论是，贸易国之间的合作对于培育健康的食品产业集群非常重要。在风险管理方面，我们开发了信息系统和风险路径发现系统，以支持风险事件场景的检测。

The globalization of the world economy increases the risk generated by the asymmetric information among trading countries. We investigated how we cope with this kind of risk by the cooperation of trading countries. In the aspect of international trade of food, we investigate the various policies such as imported food inspection and enforcement of fine to false food in order to protect from health damage. We also investigated the food supply system in the East Asian region from the viewpoint of food security and concluded that it is important for trading countries to cooperate together to foster healthy industrial clusters of food industries. Concerning the risk management, we developed information system and risk path finder system to support the detection of risk event scenarios.
