Environmental Innovation Policy Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses data to explore how companies' environmental efforts and the economy can go hand in hand.

AboutAbout the lab
Considering, from a policy perspective, how to reconcile environmental protection and economic development.
The Fujii Lab focuses on companies' environmental conservation efforts and trends in the environmental business, and studies the policies and institutions needed to reconcile reducing environmental burden with economic development.
The lab uses data to analyze how companies' ESG initiatives affect corporate value and valuation in capital markets, and how environmental regulation affects firms' technological innovation.
In the undergraduate lab seminar, students examine topics related to sustainable finance from an economic perspective by analyzing companies' financial and non-financial information.
In the graduate program, the lab expects students to hold, as their research question, why environmental problems arise and what institutions and policies would make people's behavior environmentally friendly.
