Overview: This lecture will begin with an introduction to the economics of education, designed for students unfamiliar with the subject. The overall aim is to discuss which aspects of economics, and to what extent, are beneficial for students of education and those working in the field of education to know.

In recent years, research in the economics of education has produced significant findings for examining the so-called "disparity" issue in education and for evaluating the effectiveness of educational policies.

However, insights from the economics of education have not been sufficiently examined within the field of education, and vice versa, making interaction between the two academic disciplines essential.

In this lecture, Professor Hideo Akabayashi, a leading expert in the economics of education, will give a presentation and discuss this issue from multiple perspectives.
