MESSAGE ?
Learn and think about the workings of the market through compulsory lectures
Public Economics I: Professor Masashi Nishikawa
Department of Public and Regional Economics has many compulsory courses. In particular, in the first year, there is a concentration of compulsory courses on microeconomics, which is the foundation of economic theory, and Public Economics I is one of them. In this course, students will understand how markets work and then learn about the causes of "market failures" and how to solve "market failures" through government intervention.
However, it is not appropriate to explain economics by just taking microeconomics (or public economics). Economics is sometimes described as a discipline that considers how to maximize happiness under constraints. The "constraints" here refer to culture, history, social systems, the natural environment, and so on, and a very broad liberal arts education is naturally required. All the knowledge learned in the diverse lectures, including liberal arts courses, will be linked together in the study of economics.
Demonstrating leadership as a seminar leader in a group of fellow students studying GIS
Takahashi Seminar: Regional Analysis Using GIS Professor Tomokazu Takahashi
■ Student, 4th year Department of Public and Regional Economics from Kanagawa Prefecture
In Professor Takahashi's seminar, we analyze many phenomena using GIS (Geographic Information System) and conduct urban surveys through fieldwork. At first, we are taught carefully from the beginning, and by gradually acquiring the skills, we are able to analyze problems independently. The professor is kind and considerate of his students, and the atmosphere in the seminar is very friendly. As the seminar leader, I tried to maintain that atmosphere. I believe that the thought process I learned in the seminar - "collect data steadily, formulate a hypothesis, analyze, and consider" - will be useful in the future.
