AboutAbout the lab
Reading business cycles and urban dynamics through theory.
The Institute of Economic Research at Kyoto University is a hub for economics research centered on theoretical economics, applied economics, and econometrics. With basic theoretical research as its main pillar, it also takes on issues that respond to the needs of the times and issues related to policy recommendations.
The Complex Systems Economics Research Center includes Professor Tadashi Shigoka, who specializes in nonlinear economic dynamics; Professor Tomoya Mori, who specializes in urban economics; Associate Professor Minoru Osawa, who specializes in urban and regional economics; and Associate Professor Shuhei Takahashi, who specializes in macroeconomics.
Key terms
- Economic agglomeration
- The concentration of people, firms, and industries in particular places
- Business cycles
- The repeated, wave-like alternation of good and bad economic periods
ResearchResearch themes
The center examines economic dynamics across time and space, analyzing both theoretically and empirically the fluctuations of business cycles and how population and industry concentrate in cities and regions.

Professor Tadashi Shigoka studies nonlinear economic dynamics, using tools such as bifurcation theory for dynamical systems to investigate periodic and chaotic solutions of growth models.
*Illustrative imageThe Future of Regions and Cities under Population Decline
Professor Tomoya Mori is working on building a framework, based on economic agglomeration theory, for predicting the future of Japan's regions and cities under population decline.
