Daizo Kojima, Professor
Economics & Social Systems0 student voices
The Kojima Lab studies food, agriculture, and rural areas, and the policies related to them. Building on economics, the lab also draws on perspectives from politics, public administration, society, and history to clarify policy problems through both theory and empirical analysis. Its methods are analysis using statistical data and on-site field surveys. Prof. Kojima also studies public finance and local public finance, as well as comparisons of policy with the EU and Germany.
Akira Kiminami, Professor
Economics & Social Systems0 student voices
The Kiminami Lab studies how to achieve sustainable agricultural management and rural communities. It views agricultural management as an organization that produces food, materials, and services such as local environmental conservation and recreation, and delivers them to society. The lab analyzes agricultural management in terms of desirable ways of operating, the ability to combine resources for production, and the mechanisms for procuring resources and distributing outcomes, and considers effective strategies and policies. In education, the lab aims to develop students' ability to identify social issues on their own and find ways to solve them.
Hironori Yagi, Associate Professor
Economics & Social Systems0 student voices
The Yagi Lab studies the management of agriculture, agriculture-related businesses, and the economy, society, resources, and environment of the surrounding regions. The focus of its research is how to set strategies suited to social and economic change, how to run organizations, which are groups of people, and how to keep them growing sustainably. Using methods from management science and related economics, the lab conducts research based on fieldwork, as well as theoretical research built on that foundation. In the undergraduate lab seminar, students not only read the literature on farm management but also hold discussions with farm managers.
LIU Jingyu, Associate Professor
Environment & Sustainability0 student voices
The Liu Lab studies climate change and sustainable development. A stable supply of food and nutrition is essential to the livelihoods of many people and to social stability. At the same time, food systems are thought to have a major impact on resource use, the environment, the climate, and biodiversity. The lab builds and applies models using quantitative methods, aiming to contribute to the sustainable use of food, energy, water, and resource systems.
Kentaro Kawasaki, Associate Professor
Economics & Social Systems0 student voices
The Kawasaki Lab studies a wide range of topics in agricultural economics, including production, the environment, trade, and development. Although the topics are diverse, the lab's analytical approach is consistent: it aims to deliver its messages through numbers. The lab builds up, one by one, the numbers that form the basis of objective evidence, which matters when opinions are divided over specific measures. Students choose their own research topics freely and discuss them actively in the lab seminar, which undergraduate thesis students and graduate students attend (students from other labs also join the graduate lab seminar).
Mitsuyoshi Ando, Professor
Economics & Social Systems0 student voices
The Ando Lab studies food, agriculture, and rural areas, along with the policies that affect them. Building on an economic perspective and adding political, administrative, social, and historical perspectives, the lab examines policy issues both theoretically and empirically. Its methods are statistical data analysis and on-site field surveys. Prof. Ando's research themes are agricultural policy studies, farmland systems, structural policy, and comparisons of policy with the EU and the UK.
Katsuhiro Saito, Professor
Economics & Social Systems0 student voices
Saito Lab conducts research that uses economics to solve everyday problems related to food and agriculture. The world's economies are becoming more closely connected, and to understand any single economic phenomenon, one also has to look at the ties between countries and regions behind it. Building on general equilibrium theory, the lab aims to clarify the wide range of economic phenomena related to food and agriculture, and how they change, through both theory and data. Research topics are open as long as they address food and agriculture from an economic perspective, whether micro or macro, Japan or overseas, developing or developed countries.
