About

I joined the Department of International Studies within the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences at the University of Tokyo in December 2019. I am an economist by training and earned my PhD (Economics) from Stanford University in 2001, after obtaining my MA and BA (Economics) from Kyoto University.

I previously held full-time academic positions at the Universities of Essex and Leicester in the United Kingdom as well as part-time positions at the University of Tokyo and at Japan’s Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI), where I am currently a research associate. Also, I have work experience in the banking industry in Japan.
