Tomoaki Yamada is a professor of economics at Meiji University.
His research focuses on heterogeneity in macroeconomics, consumption and savings, and social security reforms under population aging.
He 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. He also studies the short-run relationship among business cycle fluctuations, inequality, and fiscal/monetary policy with dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models.
He is a member of a new project: “Academic infrastructure development of administrative data from local governments and application for economic analysis.” He and his co-investigators examine income risk and inequality using administrative tax data in the project.
