Joint collaborative work between the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis and Tokyo Institute of Technology on an integrated approach using mathematical modeling and empirical economic analysis for the elucidation of the economic process began in 1996. Based on the outcome and recommendation of the previous works (1996-1998), this collaborative work began in 1999.Major milestones of this collaborative work include :(1) The elaboration of a series of new mathematical models of R＆D investments and technology markets. The models have been successfully matched with the empirical data and the experiments have shown their applicability to decision making.(2) Software has been developed and used to support the models.(3) The publication of a special edition of the International Journal of Technology Management entitled, "R＆D and Technology Spillovers : The Changing Dynamics of Techno-economic Systems Beyond 2000." In addition, 100 papers were published in international academic journals.(4) Collaboration has been strengthened between international interdisciplinary groups and the resulting interdisciplinary models have attracted the attention of policy-makers, including members of the Ministry of Industry, Science and Technologies of the Russian Federation.(5) Demonstration of the research activities and their results in broad circles by constructing a website, thereby developed global human resource network.
