I have conducted research on economic policies, notably, themes related to regional economics and labor economics. I have been a professor of the College of Policy Science, Ritsumeikan University since AY2018. Doctor of Economics.

I conduct research on policy issues in regional economics, urban economics, and labor economics. At present, I am focusing on the following four research themes:

1. Theoretical and empirical analysis of factors that affect regional labor markets
2. Analysis of regional disparities
3. Inter-industrial relations and structure of regional economies
4. Research on changes and factors of urban agglomeration

In terms of education, I am in charge of multiple subjects, including economic policies.

When analyzing issues related to macroscopic economic policies, including regional economics, it is essential to conduct theoretical and empirical analysis on the essence of issues. To understand regional phenomena in reality and come up with solutions, it is also important to conduct field surveys and identify issues in respective regions with unique characteristics. I will continue to work on these activities through education and research.
