In recent years, however, the country&＃8217;s potential growth rate has declined due to having the fastest-declining birthrate and aging population among developed countries, and its relationship with prolonged deflation is also a matter of concern. To overcome this deflation, unprecedentedly bold monetary easing has been pursued, and its direct and side effects are coming under scrutiny. Indeed, companies and governments are being asked to analyze and answer the question of whether wage increases can keep pace with rising prices and promote economic growth, and whether it is possible to redeem the largest government debt in the industrialized world when nominal interest rates rise. The role of economics is to analyze and solve such economic problems by assuming economically rational economic agents (firms and households) and analyzing their factors and trends. Reexamination of that assumption of rationality is also a subject of advanced research. For example, microeconomics considers the functions and limitations of market mechanisms and analyzes market competition, the strategies of firms, and the nature of government policy. Macroeconomics, on the other hand, considers the causes of economic growth and business cycles, and the methods and effects of monetary and fiscal policy responses. Econometrics, meanwhile, is an analytical method that links these theories to economic forecasting by demonstrating them with real-world data. This understanding can be applied to policy formulation and development of strategies based on accurate economic analysis, whether in business or government. Curriculum In the Master&＃8217;s Program, students learn systematized economic theories and analytical methods that will prove useful for economic analysis, forecasting, consulting, asset management, and fund-raising at research institutes, financial institutions, think tanks, and government departments in Japan and abroad. In the Doctoral Program, we actively support students in their quest to obtain a doctoral degree in three years through fostering independent researchers who can be active in academic research institutions. Granted Degree Master&＃8217;s Program: MASTER OF ARTS IN ECONOMICSDoctoral Program: DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ECONOMICS Available Teaching Licenses and Subjects High School Specialized Teacher (Civics and Commercial) *Only Master’s degree programs are eligible for a teacher&＃8217;s license. If you wish to obtain a teacher&＃8217;s license, a Type 1 license should already have been obtained, or the requirements for obtaining a Type 1 license should have been fulfilled in advance for the subjects you wish to be licensed in. Otherwise, it is not possible. Program Features Systematized Curriculum Students learn microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics, and the common foundation of modern economics, as required courses (core courses) starting in the spring semester of their first year. Based on this theoretical system, students develop more advanced and specialized knowledge in applied economics courses that they can select according to their own research interests. Small-group, Interactive Thesis Exercises To complete a master&＃8217;s thesis that takes recent research trends into account, students must take a thesis seminar where they receive small-group, interactive guidance from their advisors. Students are provided with the latest expertise in advanced analytical methods and data for each research topic, and also develop presentation skills through seminars. Selection by Standardized Economics Examinations Applicants for the Master&＃8217;s Program entrance examination may be, exempted from the written examinations on specialized subjects based on their evaluation in the Japan Economics Educational Association&＃8217;s ERE (Economics Examination). We aim to be a graduate school of choice by emphasizing an understanding of standard economics in academia and ensuring that there is no mismatch between the applicant&＃8217;s knowledge and the content of the written exam.

Thesis Seminar I (Basics) and Elective Courses teach how phenomena and issues challenging modern society can be analyzed from an economic perspective based on the latest research trends. Second-year coursework: an Advisor/Examiner Group comprising three faculty members including the research advisor provides guidance on thesis writing, such as setting the thesis theme and selecting the framework for observation and analysis. In the thesis defense, question whether students’ thesis analyzes the research theme in an appropriate economics framework and is written logically, clearly identifying the academic significance of the research.
