Messages to Students

Come and let's talk! I'm actually researching with a lot of students. The topics are as follows.

Transportation (i.e., automobile choice, self-driving, mode choice using discrete choice, etc.)
Energy economics (i.e., policy evaluation, consumer behavior simulation, etc.)
Public Health (i.e., estimating financial values of public health, using satellite data)

Besides these topics, I am also conducting research/involved in projects in environmental economics general. Therefore, please feel free to contact me via email if you are interested. I would like to help you while talking about various things, including research topics.
