Research Interests

Research about the relationship between policy and human society requires us to understand behavior of human and society deeply. Economic theory is the academic field which covers above matter. The principle of our research is to consider the policy and human society by means of normative “Models” which describe the society based on economic theory. Economic models are formulated by mathematical way, especially optimization theory. Therefore research in our laboratory begins with learning economics and optimization theory.
