FEATURES ?
-
Public Course (Public Design)
With public economics as the core of the program, students will gain a deeper understanding of "government" and "publicness," and will tackle various issues related to the management of the public sector, such as tax systems, social security, and the third sector.
-
Statistics and Information (common to both fields)
You will learn analytical methods using GIS (Geographic Information Systems) across public and local sectors.
-
Regional Course (Regional Design)
With regional economics as its core, this course will deepen understanding of "regions and communities," incorporate international perspectives, and examine a wide range of issues, including those facing local communities and the policies that are required.
PICK UP LECTURES ?
-
Economics of Public Policy
Understand the public policy systems in Japan and consider the economic basis of the systems that are actually implemented. Mainly in the relationship between the national and local governments, we will examine topics such as local finance, municipal mergers, decentralization, and town development in the context of a declining birthrate and aging population.
-
GIS and Spatial Analysis I
This is a course that all students who choose the Regional Studies course must take. Students will gain practical experience in basic operations and spatial analysis techniques using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a system that overlays statistical data and other information onto digital maps on a computer to analyze the real world.
-
Regional Economics I
This course will provide an overview of the basic theories of regional economics, such as "spatial competition" and "agglomeration," based on microeconomics. Rather than discussing the economy of a specific region, we will develop the ability to analyze and consider various regional issues by expanding economic theory by introducing the element of "space."
PICK UP SEMINARS ?
-
Demography Basics: Processing and Analyzing Demographic Data Using Excel (Takashi Inoue Seminar)
The research theme of this seminar is demography. Demography is an academic field that seeks to elucidate the mechanisms behind population phenomena occurring on Earth and to make various proposals to solve population problems. In Japan, late marriage and non-marriage have led to a declining birthrate and an aging population, which is expected to result in a rapid population decline in the first half of the 21st century. Demography will provide the answer to how to solve this major problem that will arise in your lifetime.

Regional analysis using GIS (Tomokazu Takahashi seminar)
GIS (Geographic Information System) is a system that uses digital maps and statistical data to spatially analyze the real world, and can easily perform advanced spatial analysis of a variety of subjects, such as population and foreign tourist trends, commercial locations, urban environmental standards, urban development, and environmentally related new energy simulations. In this seminar, we will learn about spatial analysis in detail and actually use GIS software to analyze the spatial characteristics of a region.
-
Political Economics, Public Economics (Yukihiro Yazaki Seminar)
Economics is characterized by model analysis based on economic theory and statistical analysis based on data. The goal of this seminar is to acquire the ability to analyze complex socio-economic problems and phenomena using economic theory and statistical data. Although it is not easy to master economic theory or statistical analysis, the aim is to become proficient in using them by taking the time to systematically learn from the basics to applications over the two and a half years of seminar activities.
