Yukie Sano, Professor
1 student voices
The Sano Lab analyzes data on the web, such as social media, to study universal patterns in how society moves and the patterns in which information spreads. The lab works in a field called socioeconophysics, which treats people as a collective and analyzes and models them like particles, using the perspective of statistical mechanics. Once a week, the whole lab holds a lab seminar to report research progress, and once a week it holds a paper reading session in which members take turns presenting the content of a paper. Many students analyze data in Python, and besides programming, they also use English and mathematics to read papers.
Koichi Ushijima, Associate Professor

The Policy and Program Evaluation Lab conducts research that uses statistical causal inference to analyze phenomena with a major impact on society and uncover their causal relationships. Most of the causal relationships hidden in the world have yet to be uncovered. The lab does not limit itself to a single theme; each student works on a topic that interests and excites them. Data analysis is always part of the work.
Eizo Akiyama, Professor

The Akiyama Lab analyzes collective phenomena through computer simulation and also conducts behavioral experiments with human participants. Rather than idealized players with unrealistic computational power, the lab is interested in how players with limited abilities actually behave. The lab analyzes why cooperative behavior that sacrifices one's own interests has evolved, and how social rules of cooperation form and develop. The research guidance page states that people interested in agent-based simulation or behavioral experiments with human participants are the intended candidates for the lab.
Hideo Ueichi, Associate Professor

The Social and Cognitive Psychology Lab studies, from a psychological perspective, the processes by which people think, judge, and decide, focusing on three aspects: cognition, emotion, and situation. Its research theme is "making use of negative emotions," taking emotions such as regret, anticipated regret, shame, and guilt as clues. The lab examines everyday behavior and social issues through three processes: how people think and decide, how they interpret and cope with outcomes, and how they apply them to their future selves. The lab conducts not only survey-based research but also experimental research.
Masakatsu Okubo, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Okubo Lab specializes in macroeconomics and econometrics. In recent years, the lab has been working on research that quantitatively and econometrically analyzes model uncertainty in macroeconomic models. The lab has also published a paper examining the effect of business cycles on economic welfare in relation to model uncertainty and economic development.
Shohei Okamoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Okamoto Lab specializes in health policy, health economics, social policy, and global health. Themes of particular interest include health inequalities, social determinants of health, and health systems strengthening. The lab's research page lists papers on topics such as employment and social isolation in older age and their relationship with health, the use of medical and long-term care services, and the number of suicides during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yoko Konishi, Professor
0 student voices
The Life Visualization Lab (Konishi Lab) analyzes social and economic trends using big data and statistics. It aims to visualize trends that were previously hard to see, using graphs and other means, and to uncover the structures behind them. The lab studies a wide range of socioeconomic phenomena, including consumer behavior, disaster preparedness, tourism, well-being, and corporate activity. People who are interested in data analysis, and those who want to find their own questions, are welcome.
Mari Sakudo, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Associate Professor Mari Sakudo specializes in applied econometrics, which analyzes economic data with statistical methods, and in environmental economics. The Researcher Directory lists papers on topics such as the relationship between workplace environmental management and household energy-saving behavior, and how households choose their cooking fuels. The research topics listed in the directory include empirical studies of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and work on ESG disclosure and performance using nonparametric methods.
Sato Sanai, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The Applied Social Psychology Lab specializes in social psychology, experimental psychology, area studies, and social welfare studies. The lab is run by faculty from the College of Policy and Planning Sciences in the School of Science and Engineering at the undergraduate level, and from the Graduate School of Systems and Information Engineering at the graduate level. The faculty member is Assistant Professor Sato Sanai.
Ryoji Sawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Sawa Lab uses evolutionary game theory to study how people's behavior and group choices settle down in the long run. Its subjects include group choices made by majority vote, the outcomes of bargaining, and the process by which social conventions become established. The lab represents, with mathematical models, how people gradually revise their behavior, and theoretically analyzes which states are likely to persist over the long term.
