1) Research Division
Infrastructure & Construction Economics Research Division primarily conducts research on the analy-sis and forecast of construction economy, devising measures for improving laws and regulations to enhance the competitiveness and productivity of the construction industry are also main tasks of the division. In addition, the division builds database of the construction industry to be linked to the con-struction administrative affairs.

Construction industry not only plays the role of leading business conditions in national economy, but also provides infrastructures within the regions, such as roads, waterworks and sewer system. Moreover, it con-tributes to national finances and regional employment through these construction works.
The division publishes quarterly magazine Construction Economics and has relationships with international research institutions such as the Research Institute of Construction and Economy of Japan. The division is also a member of Asian Construction Conference in which 11 Asian countries hold membership.
