Top Global Schools for Business and econ?

Just out of curiosity, what are the top schools for economics/finance worldwide (which means excluding US schools and Econ rankings preferred)? I'm thinking about studying abroad for a semester/year, so if anyone knows some good schools, especially in China/Japan, can you tell me some? Also, just in general, does it matter to employers how prestigious your study abroad school is? I mean, I could go to LSE with my school for a year, but I'm more interested in Asia, so would it be a bad idea to go to a "random" school in China when I could study at LSE?

thanks for the help!

If you're going to pick up some of the language/or advance your basic knowledge to fluency then I think going to the random school in asia would be better than LSE, but in general I don't think you're study abroad school matters anywhere near as much as your home institution.

I do think the fact that you did study abroad is a good thing though.
