📚 My Research
I explores the long-run trend of economic inequality in earnings, income, consumption, and wealth in Japan using microdata and numerical methods based on economic theory. I also studies the short-run relationship among business cycle fluctuations, inequality, and fiscal/monetary policy with dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models.
