About Our Research:
The Center for International Economics, Institute for Economic Studies at Keio University, analyzes issues accompanying economic globalization for the purposes of understanding its multifaceted aspects and of building economic and social systems which could distribute the benefits of globalization to citizens.
There has been a variety of issues in the contemporary economy with spreading globalization and the ever-increasing movement of goods, services and capital. Such economic globalization is deeply involved in recent issues identified with regards to the Japanese economy such as deindustrialization, decreased corporate competitiveness, regional disparities, irregular employment, poverty and income disparities.
Conventional research to date has attempted to examine these problems within the scope of each field of research. However, interdisciplinary research is essential to build an economic society with systems to enable citizens to enjoy the benefits of economic globalization and lessen related frictions and conflicting interests. By supporting theoretical, empirical, and policy research that spans a variety of fields in international economics and other areas of applied microeconomics, the Center supports the establishment of a more open, enhanced economic society.
