Research Keywords
Current research themes
"German's relative fiscal soundness"
In recent years, Germany has maintained relatively good fiscal performance despite the impact of the global financial crisis. The attention of Germany's relative fiscal soundness has not been started yet, but has been subject to discussion every time after the war. It is generally pointed out that one of the main factors that supported Germany's relative fiscal soundness is the tradition of conservative fiscal finance in Germany. The current research theme is to historically consider the extent to which such a general discussion is appropriate. One of the major challenges is to draw out implications for Japanese finances through international comparisons.

Class seminar
My seminar
In specialized exercises, students will develop their ability to discover, analyze and consider their own "questions", and derive their own answers to "questions". Understand that there are areas of "what you want to do" and areas of "what you can do", and try to overlap as much as possible. I think the characteristic of this seminar is that you can experience such an experience.
Social Activities
