Short Bio.

I was born in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. After receiving my B.A. in Economics from Keio University in March 2006, I continued my studies at the Graduate School of Economics at Osaka University. In March 2011, I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Osaka University and then joined the School of Economics at Meisei University. Since April 2020, I have been working as an Associate Professor of Macroeconomics at the School of Political Science and Economics at Meiji University.

My main research area is the theoretical analysis of macroeconomic policies. I am interested in applying various economic models, such as economic growth, business cycle, and asset pricing models in simplified forms, to study real-world issues. Recently, I have studied the distributional effects of stock price appreciation and the effects of the lockdown policy during the COVID-19 recession using a heterogeneous household asset pricing model. I have also analyzed the welfare consequences of corporate tax competition using an R&D-based growth model. Currently, my research focuses on public debt management policies that support fiscal stimulus during economic crises and macroeconomic analysis related to corporate income taxation. If you are interested in participating in our research, please don't hesitate to contact me.

At Meiji University, I teach a course called "Economic Growth and Fluctuations," which covers a wide range of advanced topics in undergraduate macroeconomics. In this course, we use the R language to simulate representative macroeconomic models and develop skills in data visualization and econometric analysis of macroeconomic data. If you are interested in mastering macroeconomics, I encourage you to enroll in my course at Meiji University.
