Message from the Faculty Member 【 Display / hide 】

  • The economies and societies of Europe, especially Continental Europe have much in common with those of Japan. My research centres on the European economies, their implications for Japan and EU-Japan relations. In education, I follow the Fukuzawa tradition and emphasise the importance of independent-thinking and self-responsibility. If you are interested in studying at the graduate school of economics and would like to designate me as your thesis advisor, please send by post your CV including your research so far.

  • The Economics of Fintech

    Kaji, S. T. Nakatsuma and M. Fukuhara eds., Springer, 2021.02

    　View Summary

    This book is a collection of academic lectures given on fintech, a topic that has been written about extensively but only from a business or technological point of view. In contrast to other publications on the subject, this book shows the reader how fintech should be understood in relation to economics, financial theory, policy, and law. It provides introductory explanations on fintech-related concepts and instruments such as blockchains, crypto assets, machine learning, high-frequency trading, and AI. The collected lectures also point to surrounding issues including start-ups, monetary policy, asset management, cyber and other security, and stability of financial systems.
    The authors include professors, a former central bank official, current officials at Japan’s Financial Services Authority, a lawyer, the former dean of the Asian Development Bank Institute, and private sector professionals at the frontline of fintech. The book is most suitable for those both within and outside of academia who are beginning to learn about fintech and wish to successfully take part in the revolution that is certain to have wide-ranging effects on our economy and society.
