As world trade becomes more active and expansive, job mobility has progressed correspondingly in growth. In particular, high-skilled scientists (including advanced-degree holders) now possess the option of various occupational and residential mobilities. We explain the "brain drain" by using two empirical examples. One concerns the U.S. experience of foreign-born Ph.D holders living and working in the United States. The other pertains to the Korean experience, where Korean-origin and foreign-born experienced scientists are actively recruited by the government. We also explore the necessary conditions for recruiting and keeping advanced-skilled scientists, the attainment of which will result in strong future economic growth.

A web-based camera (webcam) is expected to enhance construction operation monitoring. However, webcams are often installed outside a building because their mobility is limited by cable wiring, which makes it difficult to monitor construction operations inside the building. If a webcam is integrated with emerging wireless communication technologies, construction professionals may be able to monitor interior construction operations using webcams without getting network cables wired on a congested and dynamic construction job site. However, one may concern that wireless communication may not be fast enough to transport all webcam images seamlessly. This paper presents an investigation as to the observation error of webcam images when a limited amount of images are delivered.

Fifteen years have passed since the enactment of the Industrial Technology Innovation Promotion Act, which promoted industry cooperation activities for universities. Therefore, the study analyzes the relationship between the university's industrial cooperation activities and the college graduates' starting salaries and provides policy suggestions on improving the direction of university-industry cooperation. The study used nine-year panel data from Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey (GOMS) to conduct an empirical analysis and found that starting salaries of college graduates were not significantly higher if the university only participated in basic industry cooperation activities. On the other hand, when the quality of university-industry cooperation activities was higher, such as job search support, the starting salary of college graduates was higher. The findings suggest that university-industry cooperation activities must focus on qualitative performances rather than quantitative approaches.
