The research theme I am currently working on is analyzing how economic inequality between households changes during inflationary periods using econometric methods. Price increases do not affect people uniformly; the burden varies depending on income levels and employment types. By clarifying these points based on data, I hope to deepen my understanding of real-world economic issues.

My motivation for entering graduate school was to understand the knowledge I gained as an undergraduate more systematically and theoretically, and to engage in research with my own questions. In the future, I aim to contribute to solving social and corporate issues by utilizing the analytical and logical thinking skills cultivated through my research.

The appeal of the Graduate School of Business and Commerce lies in the environment that allows one to focus seriously on research. The distance to the academic advisor is close, and I receive regular and thorough feedback on the progress and direction of my research. Under Professor Isamu Yamamoto, I can receive detailed guidance ranging from theoretical backgrounds to the specifics of empirical analysis. I feel that such a research environment is extremely important for improving the quality of research. If you have a strong interest, the Graduate School of Business and Commerce is the optimal environment to deepen it.
