TAKAYAMA, Naoki

I have conducted research on macroeconomics from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. First, I methodologically contributed to analyzing rational expectations equilibria with information friction. Second, I examined how labor-market friction affects occupational reallocation within and across firms in the context of labor-market polarization. Third, regarding Japan, my research explored the impacts of global technological stagnation, inspired by the secular stagnation in the Japanese economy, as well as the formation of households, which are fundamental building blocks of macroeconomics.

Furthermore, I have professional experience in social security, fiscal and monetary policy, and national accounts, having been a public servant in the government of Japan for more than ten years.
