The Economic Information and Education Center (EIEC) is an affiliated organization of Korea Development Institute (KDI), a leading think tank of Korea. EIEC aims to enhance the public understanding of economy by providing accurate economic information, publishing economic policy-related periodicals, hosting workshops and training programs, developing and distributing economic educational materials, and conducting public-opinion surveys on economic issues.
KDI was founded in March 1971. Following integration with the National Institute for Economic System and Information, the Center for Economic Education was established in 1991 as a subordinate entity of KDI. In 1998, the Center for Economic Education was renamed as the Economic Information and Education Center(EIEC).
