Financial Economics; System, Policy and Management
|
|
Specialized in financial economics (both domestic and international).
Based on the experiences of various assignments in the Japanese Ministry
of Finance (MOF) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) between 1969 and
1999, I am now engaged in research and education of financial economics;
institutional, policy-related and managerial aspects of financial activities.
The financial activities on which I focus have been increasingly renovated
and remodeled by modern information and communication technological innovations.
The post-graduate course of GITS is characteristic of interdisciplinary
approach to informatic and socio-economic issues that will fundamentally
challenge our life in the early 21st century. My study focuses on Japan's
financial developments, including remains of the most recent bubble collapse,
emerging IT-related activities and international interactions.
Based on the experiences of participating in bilateral government negotiations
as well as international economic negotiations at IMF, World Bank, OECD,
WHO, and BIS, I have been engaged in economic advice to developing / transitional
economies, in particular, Central and South East Asia. My research and
study position is dominated by a pragmatic approach, which will be reflected
in my lectures and seminars.
