I conducted empirical analyses based on the theoretical framework of urban and regional economics using data from Japan. Specifically, I analyzed various social and economic issues in Japan, such as the following: "Why was Hiroshima's central business district able to recover from the destruction caused by the atomic bomb?", "How can we quantitatively grasp the historical changes in the intensity of discrimination against buraku communities?", and "Has the minimum wage improved the welfare of workers?" In addition, I performed other studies, including theoretical research on the regional transmission of populism as well as empirical and experimental studies on the factors influencing the formation of redistribution preferences.
Building on my previous research, I continue to conduct empirical analyses using data from Japan, focusing on issues in urban and regional economics, labor economics, and public economics.
