The Hori Lab studies macroeconomics, with a central focus on economic growth.
The lab focuses on technological progress and theoretically analyzes how economies grow.
Another research interest is the analysis of economies with many heterogeneous households and firms.
The lab has also worked on research dealing with topics such as the relationship between asset bubbles and aggregate demand.

The lab focuses on technological progress and theoretically analyzes the mechanisms of economic growth. Fiscal and monetary policy are also among its research subjects.
*Illustrative imageWhy do bubbles arise, and what do they leave behind?
Bubbles, in which stock or land prices swell beyond fundamentals, form and burst, leaving a major impact on the economy. Taking into account dividend-paying assets and the issuance of new assets, the lab theoretically analyzes how bubbles arise and how they affect business cycles and growth.
*Illustrative imageGender, work, and economic productivity
When the occupations people can enter are skewed by gender or marital status, talent goes unused and overall economic productivity falls. The lab estimates how much loss to the economy is caused by the discrimination that female workers and entrepreneurs face in Japan.
*Illustrative imageTaxes, government spending, and economic growth
What is the optimal tax rate in an economy with corporate tax evasion? How does government spending affect growth once differences among people are taken into account? The lab studies how fiscal policy should be designed, using models of a growing economy.
