Development, 大塚, 春

By now it is clear that climate change is a major threat to the welfare of the mankind in the 21st century. This course reviews the prospect of climate change, examines the widely debated and hot issue of whether environment deteriorates with economic development, and considers the desirable “solution” to mitigate climate change. More specifically, we deal with the issues of (1) natural resource management, such as forests, (2) sustainable development of agriculture, particular in sub-Saharan Africa, (3) emission of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) and other pollutants in the course of economic development, and (4) the significance of international agreement to reduce the emission of GHGs), such as the Kyoto Protocol. In each topic, theoretical discussions will be made first, followed by the review of empirical evidence. Final purpose of this course is to consider desirable solutions to prevent disastrous impacts of climate change. This course uses basic tools of microeconomics and econometrics extensively. Therefore, students must have successfully completed the courses of Microeconomics and Quantitative Methods offered in the fall term.

LAN0010E, Understanding Academic Readings,

Thomson, 秋後

This course familiarizes students with the conventional structures of academic writing: the problem, existing literature, study design, results, and how such results improve understanding. Students will learn to find the writer’s claim (argument) and discuss why it is distinctive and how it is supported. Before each meeting, students are required to read a paper to be discussed in class.

LAN0020E, Academic Presentation Skills, Thomson,

秋前

This course teaches the four elements of a good academic presentation: organization, language, delivery, and power point slides. Students learn how to organize an academic presentation that does not bore the audience and how to prepare slides that help, rather than hurt, the presentation. Students also learn how to deliver a presentation clearly and persuasively and receive guidance on the effective use of verbal and non-verbal skills. They practice presenting in groups and in front of the whole class.

LAN0030E, Writing for the Social Sciences,

Nakatsugawa, 春

The goal of this course is to help students improve their academic writing, especially of research papers. The course will cover such fundamental concepts of academic writing as audience, purpose, organization, style, flow, and presentation, with a special focus on helping students construct research papers. Students will learn both by

reading authentic texts drawn from the social science literature and by engaging in writing tasks that focus on the rhetorical conventions of academic English. Students will receive individualized help with formulating arguments, organizing paragraphs, summarizing, paraphrasing, using appropriate vocabulary, and editing for grammar and style. Each class will include lectures and hands-on tutorials.

The course is open to all students and is particularly recommended for students who took English for Academic Purposes in the fall.

Course Description Course No., Course Name, Instructor, Term, Course Description

CUL101E, Managing Cultural Diversity, Aikawa, Fall (Session II)

This course will study the concept of Cultural Diversity from a broader perspective taking the Universal Declaration and the World Report as reference documents and try to seek for appropriate policies to be applied to challenge the issue: how to manage Cultural Diversity.

CUL102E, Development and Culture, Aikawa, Spring (Session II)

This course will study the evolution of the concept of development, notably “development’s cultural turn” which is the paradigm shift occurred in 1990s following the failure of many solely economic oriented development projects. Also we will study the concept of the cultural approach to development on the basis of the Report: ‘Our Creative Diversity’ (1995) as well as its practical application through the ‘Recognizing Culture: A series of briefing papers on Culture and Development’ (2001). DEV250E, National Development and Institution for Transportation Infrastructure, Morichi, Spring

The purpose of this lecture is to study the policies for national development and for transportation infrastructure.

Firstly, Japanese national development policies, which had brought the economical growth and the decrease of regional disparity simultaneously, and which have been revised to meet the social requirements, are reviewed.

Secondly, the institutions for transportation infrastructures including railway, road, port and airport and related policies in Japan, US and European countries are discussed to understand the future directions in Japan and developing countries.

DEV253E, Gender and Development, Estudillo, Spring (Session I)

Gender and Development explores the linkage between gender inequalities and economic development. Gender inequalities in rights, resources, and voice exist in rich countries but can be severe among the poor

ones. This course has four objectives: (1) explore the aspects of gender inequalities within the households and in the broader economy at large; (2) assess the impacts of such disparities in the welfare of individuals and households and aggregate economic growth; (3) explain why gender inequalities persist despite its harmful effects; and (4) identify appropriate policies that can promote gender equality.

*DMP (Disaster Management Program) courses will appear in the end of the list. ECO100EA, Microeconomics I, Yoshida, Fall (Session I)

This course presents a concise, consistent methodology for understanding and predicting the economic behavior of people and firms in a variety of markets. We will study the fundamental determinants of market outcomes in enough depth to apply these concepts to the problems faced by family, business, and public policy decision-makers. The tools developed in this course will prepare you for upper-level courses, as well as for intelligent discussion of issues under public debate.

ECO100EB, Microeconomics I, Xing, Fall (Session I)

This is an introduction of microeconomics. It covers basic economic assumptions and concepts used to define behaviors of consumers and firms in markets. The course consists of three parts: consumer theory, firm theory and the equilibrium in a competitive market. In the consumer theory, preference, utility, budget constraints, utility maximization and demand curves will be introduced. In the firm theory, production and cost functions, profit maximization, and supply curves will be discussed. Finally, the concept and the determination of the equilibrium will be analyzed. ECO100EC, Microeconomics I, Wie, Fall (Session I) ECO101E, Introductory Microeconomics, Kurosawa, Fall (Session I)

How do markets work? How do markets set prices, determine what will be produced, how they will be

produced, and decide who will get the goods? What should governments do in a market economy? This is an introductory microeconomics course which tries to obtain answers to these questions. We also consider important economic issues including free trade, taxation, regulation, environmental preservation, and poverty.

ECO106EA, Macroeconomics I, TBA, Fall (Session I)

This course aims to provide an overview of standard macroeconomic theories. Economists simplify our complex real world into “models” and examine how they work (or not). The way of modeling depends on the purpose of the analysis: What determines the overall level of people’s economic welfare? Why does inflation happen? How can we reduce unemployment? We will see the strengths and limitations of macroeconomic theories for each economic issue.

A background in macroeconomics is not required. However, a basic knowledge of elementary economics is needed. ECO106EB, Macroeconomics I, Rhodes, Fall (Session I)

This course is an introduction to modern macroeconomic theory from a policy perspective. The course uses economic models as a way of formalizing ideas about macroeconomic issues and problems. Our primary focus is the aggregate behavior of a competitive market economy in the classical “long run.” The course offers insights into the behavior of such important phenomenon as inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, unemployment, and long-term economic growth.

ECO106EC, Macroeconomics I, Esteban-Pretel, Fall (Session I)

This course will cover basic models used to study macroeconomic phenomena. We will learn models that will help us understand the economic behavior of agents in the short and medium-run. We will focus on the equilibrium in the goods and financial and labor markets. ECO106ED, Macroeconomics, Okita, Winter

This course discusses mainly macroeconomic policies for stability of output level, employment, and price level. The level is introductory, but some discussions of graduate level topics are taken up too. The use of mathematical models will be limited to some essential subjects, but diagrammatic expositions will be extensively used. (This course uses elementary algebra and elementary

calculus. Knowledge of undergraduate level economics is desirable.)

ECO160E, Monetary Economics (Money and Banking), Pfau, Fall

This course is intended to provide an overview of the role that central banks are able to play in the economy. The course will begin with a discussion of money and interest rates. Then we consider the structure of the banking industry and how it allows for the creation of money. Next is a discussion of how central banks are able to adjust the money supply and what the goals of central bankers should be. Then we will examine some important topics in the theory of monetary policy, such as aggregate supply and aggregate demand analysis, and the relationship between money and inflation. We will conclude by considering monetary policy in the context of the international financial system. The objective is to understand how monetary policy is conducted in the real world in order to help control cyclical fluctuations in the economy. The course consists mainly of lectures. Student questions and comments are encouraged.

ECO200EA, Microeconomics II, Yoshida, Fall (Session II)

In this course, we incorporate information, time and uncertainty into the decision processes of economic agents. In particular, we will analyze how economic agents make optimal decisions when they face uncertainty, asymmetric information, and choices of consumption over time. The course will introduce the basics of game theory, analyzing the interaction of economic agents. Also, the course will discuss the concept of the general equilibrium in a pure exchange economy.

ECO200EB, Microeconomics II, Xing, Fall (Session II) ECO200EC, Microeconomics II, Wie, Fall (Session II) ECO202EA, Government and Market, Munro, Winter

The aim of this course is to build understanding of the role of government in a modern, market-based society. We seek to understand what governments do best and what should be left to the market and to private individuals. By the end of the course you should have an improved understanding of government policies and their consequences. You should also have developed basic

familiarity with economic theories of government behavior and with particular examples of government policies. The sessions will involve a mixture of lectures and class discussion.

ECO202EB, Government and Market, Kidokoro, Winter

The purpose of this lecture is to understand the economic role of the government in current democratic countries. In addition, you will know the basics of economic thinking, which are very important in applied work, and how to apply economic theories to actual phenomena.

ECO202EC, Government and Market, Hatanaka, Winter

The objective of this course is to obtain skills to think of various kinds of policies in democratic countries, using economic logic or theory. First we will review market failure briefly and treat the various kinds of policies to maximize the social welfare and to relieve inequality, such as environmental policy, public enterprise, social insurance, anti-trust policy and so on. ECO206EA, Macroeconomics II, TBA, Fall (Session II)

This course is designed to extend the lecture of Macroeconomics I, so that students can master policy issues, microeconomic foundations and advances in business cycle theory which are left in Macroeconomics I. Economic growth theory will be also covered here including not only Solow model treated in Mankiw’s textbook, but also Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans Model and Overlapping Generations Model to let students acquire basic ideas of representative macroeconomic models that are prerequisite knowledge for the further study of the macroeconomics.

ECO206EB, Macroeconomics II, Rhodes, Fall (Session II)

This course is an introduction to business cycle theory from a policy perspective. Using a variety of economic models, we study the nature and sources of macroeconomic fluctuations and potential policy responses. The primary analytical tool is general equilibrium (GE) analysis (IS-LM framework) applied to both closed and open economies. We examine the response of macroeconomic variables to various market “shocks” and to monetary, fiscal, and trade policies.

ECO206EC, Macroeconomics II, Esteban-Pretel, Fall (Session II)

This course is the continuation of Macroeconomics I and will cover basic models used to study macroeconomic phenomena. We will learn models that will help us understand the economic behavior of agents in the long-run, and under uncertainty. We will focus on the consequences of savings and capital accumulation in the long-run growth of modern economies, the role of expectations in economic decisions and we will see a brief introduction to open economy models. ECO272EA, Introduction to Applied Econometrics, Leon-Gonzales, Fall

The module aims to develop econometric and computational skills and their application in modern economic analysis. The module provides students with basic knowledge of statistical concepts and then progresses towards regression analysis, cross-section and time series models. Emphasis is always on the correct application of these methods to economic data. Examples of applications are given in lectures and computer sessions. Students are required to write a short econometric project as part of the final assessment.

ECO272EB, Introduction to Applied Econometrics, Pfau, Fall

The course seeks to provide an understanding of basic econometrics. The goal at the end of the course is for students to be able to formulate and conduct basic econometrics research using computer statistical programs (both Stata and EViews). Students are expected to gain a good intuition about econometrics and know how to extend their studies into more advanced topics that they may need for their own research. Note that this course will not include important topics such as multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroskedasticity. Instead, the second half of the course will be spent to introduce time series econometrics, which is essential for doing empirical research about the macroeconomy. ECO272EC, Introduction to Applied Econometrics, Wie, Fall

Econometrics is the useful methodology of economics and other social studies. This course aims to introduce students to multiple regression and related methods to analyze data and connect data from the real world to economic models. We start by learning linear regression model which is widely used tool for

economists. Additionally, we will study methods for panel data analysis, regression with binary variables, instrumental variables regression, and regression with time series data.

This course focuses on developing practical methodology and applying them to real data using STATA. The mathematics of econometrics will be introduced only as needed and will not be a central focus. ECO290E, Game Theory, Yasuda, Winter

This is an introductory course in game theory, which will provide you with mathematical tools for analyzing strategically interdependent situations, i.e., the situations in which your optimal decision depends on what other people will do. In particular, we will study central solution concepts in game theory such as Nash equilibrium, subgame perfect equilibrium, and Bayesian equilibrium. To illustrate the analytical value of these tools, we will cover a variety of applications, e.g., international relations, business competition, auctions, marriage market, and so forth. There is no prerequisite for this course, although some background on microeconomics and familiarity of probabilistic thinking would be helpful. ECO300E, Mathematics for Economic Analysis, Yoshida, Fall (Session II) & Winter

This course provides fundamental and advanced mathematical tools that are useful in conducting an independent research with full utilization of sophisticated economic models.

ECO310E, Theory of Public Finance, Fukushima, Fall (Session II)

In “Theory of Public Finance”, you will learn both expenditure side and revenue side analysis of public finance theory. This prepares you to “Workshop in Public Finance 1 and 2”, in which you are expected to write a policy paper in the field of Public Finance. ECO314E, Public Economics, Dermendzhieva, Spring

The course examines the role of the government in the economy and combines analysis of government spending and taxation with economic theory. The objective of the course is to present the main analytical tools used by economists to study key policy questions. We will present the foundations of welfare economics and use the cases of market failure as an economic rationale for the existence of government. We will cover in detail the topics of public good provision, externalities,

and asymmetric information, and examine different types of government intervention and its financing. Upon completion of the course, the students should be familiar with the main theoretical concepts and models, which will allow them to analyze and discuss issues related to government intervention, taxation, and public expenditure.

ECO315E, Local Public Finance, Kook, Spring

The course aims to mainly understand the practices of local public finance in Japan as well as theoretical aspects on fiscal activities of local governments. We introduce basic functions of central and local governments. In theoretical aspects, local public finance deals with the decentralization theorem and its limitation, the optimal size of local authorities, the gains from fiscal decision-making at a local level, the topics of local tax revenue and user charges, and intergovernmental fiscal relations. The course also introduces both viewpoints from public finance theory and public choice approach.

ECO316E, Economic and Fiscal Reform in Japan, Ota, Spring

In this course, we will share and discuss issues and problems in making economic policy and reforming public finance in Japan.

In the first segment, we will discuss the current situation and the major weaknesses in Japan’s economy, and consider adequate policies to overcome them. In the second segment, we will discuss the characteristics of Japan’s fiscal situation and the fiscal policy reforms that have been implemented recently, and consider the issues that lie ahead. Especially, the structural reform of social welfare, the local public finance, and taxation system are important issues in public finance.

Learning about these Japanese experiences may be of value to your country. Students will be encouraged to discuss and analyze issues and problems in their own countries.

ECO317E, Labor Economics, Kurosawa, Fall (Session II)

This is an introductory one semester course in labor economics with an emphasis on applied microeconomics and empirical analysis. Topics to be covered include: labor supply and demand, human capital, income distribution, immigration, discrimination, incentives, unemployment. Throughout the course, we will discuss applications of economic theory to important public policy issues such as minimum wage laws, welfare

reform, and affirmative action.

ECO318E, Health Economics, TBA, Spring ECO320E, Economics of Law, Hatanaka, Spring

This course aims at examining laws by using applied microeconomic theory and provides you with the main logic of economic theory to understand the roles of laws. The objective of this course is (1) to evaluate systems or laws in the sense of social welfare (2) to legislate in order to maximize the social welfare. So each provision of laws is not treated in this course. Since we will use simple models of applied microeconomics, comprehension of Microeconomics is necessary.

ECO321E, Competition and Regulatory Economics, Tanaka Makoto, Spring ECO330E, Urban Economics, Okamoto Ryosuke, Spring

This course is intended for second-year Ph.D. students or over (not for master’s students). This course introduces major theoretical and empirical analyses selected in the field of urban economics.

ECO331E, Transportation Economics, Murakami, Spring

This course is divided into two major parts. In the former part, we study the basic theory of transportation economics which is closely related to microeconomics and industrial organization. In addition, we study the theory of “regulation” and “deregulation”, both of which many transportation sectors have experienced. In the second part we focus on the cases of regulation and deregulation of airline and maritime industries, and compare the market behavior and performance before/after the deregulation.

ECO340E, International Trade, Xing, Spring (Session I)

This course is an introduction to international trade and commercial policy. It begins with the comparative advantage theory, which explains international trade with labor productivity as well as resource endowments. Then, the focus shifts to the income distribution and the roles of economies of scale and imperfect competition in the context of trade. The discussion on trade policy consists of three parts: tariff and non-tariff instruments, trade policy in developing countries, and strategic trade policy. In particular, trade policy in developing

countries will be analyzed along with the experiences of developing countries as well as transitional economies. Finally, the evolution of regional free trade agreements and the new world trading system under the WTO will be reviewed. The course will cover not only fundamental trade theory and policy, but also empirical analysis on the issues.

ECO345E, International Finance, Hsu, Spring

This course will introduce basic concepts, tools and facts needed to understand international financial markets. We will use the analysis framework to understand a number of questions that are of current interest. Since the financial crises in Asia and Latin America are the most dramatic recent events in financial economics, it is natural that we will focus in particular on questions pertaining to that.

ECO346E, Global Economy, Financial Markets, and Monetary Policy, Nunami, Spring

The financial crisis which broke out in summer 2007 has greatly damaged global economy, financial markets, and financial system, and we are not fully through it yet.

In this course, we will discuss lessons to be learned from the financial crisis by looking through what happened and why it happened. Japanese experiences of asset babbles and their burst in the 80s and the 90s will also be discussed. And then, we will discuss challenges major central banks currently face and have to deal with, in terms of monetary policy and financial stability policy as well. Some of current policy issues which will be discussed in the course are asset price bubbles and monetary policy, quantitative easing and credit easing, deflation and monetary policy, and inflation targeting. ECO347E, Empirics of Macroeconomic Policies and International Finance, Koeda, Winter

This course introduces practical economic tools used in central banks and international organizations. This includes econometrics models, such as vector autoregression models, that can be used in analyzing macroeconomic and international finance problems—in particular, the effectiveness of fiscal, monetary and exchange rate policies and macroeconomic diagnosis of developed and developing countries. These models will be solved using existing software (Eviews). The class will be taught in English and take place in a computer lab. ECO351E, Environmental Economics, Munro, Spring

Environmental issues, such as climate change or pollution are key problems faced by many nations. The aim of this course is to create a basic understanding of how economics can be used to value environmental services and to design environmental policies. The course mixes theory with international examples and a discussion of policy. The sessions will involve lectures and class discussion.

ECO352E, Economic of Climate Change, TBA, Spring ECO353E, Resource and Energy Economics, Tanaka Makoto, Winter ECO360E, Contemporary Japanese Economy, Kojima, Fall ECO361E, Japanese Economy, Okita, Spring

This course offers some discussions on the post-war and contemporary issues of the Japanese economy, such as the causes of rapid growth in the 1950s and 60s, the Japanese model of corporate governance, corporate finance, and employment system, and the reasons for the stagnant development of the economy in the 1990s. Some discussions on the role of government in the post-war economic development in Japan will be also provided.

ECO363E, Japanese Financial System, Rhodes, Winter

This course examines the postwar evolution of the Japanese financial system (JFS) from the perspectives of economic history, modern political economy, and comparative economic systems. The focus is the Japanese system of macroeconomic and financial regulation. The fundamental question addressed is why the JFS worked so (apparently) well in the highly-regulated early periods but floundered in the post-liberalization era.

ECO364E, Financial Economics, Kubota, Spring (Session I)

To help students familiarize and understand the basic principles of Financial Economics doctrine, in particular, in Corporate Finance area. These understandings will help students control the use of various financial instruments in a prudent way.

The lecture topics include valuing various financial assets, optimal real investment decisions, raising capital

for firms, valuing derivative assets, financial planning for firms, and assessing the effects of taxation upon corporation financial decision making, along with one or two related Harvard Business School discussion cases.

ECO370E, Econometrics/Quantitative Methods, Arai, Winter

The objective of this course is to enhance understanding of intermediate econometrics. This course covers the leading econometric methods as well as their empirical examples. ECO371E, Time Series Analysis, Ikeda, Spring

This is an introductory course in time series econometrics for MA students. The examples of economic time series data include GDP, Inflation, Aggregate Consumption, Unemployment Rate, Exchange Rates, Interest Rates, Stock Prices, Volatility Index, etc. Working knowledge of time series econometrics is indispensable for those who are interested in macroeconomics, monetary economics, international finance or finance. Data sets will be distributed for your interests and maybe for homework assignments. For the analysis of these datasets, students are supposed to learn how to use statistical software such as EVIEWS or MATLAB. I assume students have basic knowledge about statistics.

ECO372E, Cost Benefit Analysis I, Kidokoro, Fall, (Session I)

The purpose of this lecture is to understand the basic theory of cost-benefit analysis and to apply the method to actual policy analyses.

ECO373E, Cost Benefit Analysis II, TBA, TBA ECO374E, Economic Modeling for Policy Simulations, Hosoe, Spring

This course exposes students to macro-economic models which are useful to analyze various policy issues for developing countries as well as developed ones by simulating counter-factual situations. The aim of this course is to have students acquire practical modeling skills on PCs for empirical policy analysis and/or for academic research works. Thus, this course is designed so that students can learn both of theoretical frameworks of the economic models (as exemplified below), programming with numerical computation software, and their empirical implementation for policy simulation purposes through developing simple and then

sophisticated models by themselves.

ECO381E, Economic Development of Japan, Ohno Kenichi, Spring

This course reviews the path of Japan’s modernization and industrialization as a latecomer country from the Edo period (17-19c), which prepared pre-conditions for development, through Meiji Restoration and pre- and post-WW2 industrialization up to present. Classes proceed chronologically, studying key problems and policy response in each period. Numerical data, research findings, and remaining debates will be presented. In addition to economic issues, social and political aspects of economic development are also discussed. The reason for Japan’s early industrial catch-up, interaction of external forces and domestic capability, and the roles of government policy and private dynamism are featured. A textbook, web materials, and classroom handouts will be used.

ECO383E, Issues of Policy Advisers to Developing Countries, TBA, Summer

As part of economic assistance programs, a great number of policy advisers are sent to developing countries by developed countries. Many issues, such as their objectives and qualifications, have been discussed vigorously in both sending and receiving countries.

This course focuses on an analysis of these issues, not only by reviewing the contemporary advisers but also by comparing those with foreign advisers (oyatoi- gaikokujin) received by the pre-modern Japan around 1870. An attempt is also made to analyze these policy advisers in the contract theory framework such as common agency.

Through the course, we will try to think of how to improve the “effectiveness” of those policy advisers. ECO384EA, Development Economics, Cooray, Winter

Nothing matters more to the long-term living condition of a country than its growth and development. The economic development of developing countries is almost universally desired by their people and governments. And policy makers in those countries have attempted to improve living conditions through various economic policies. In this context, this course aims at fostering the knowledge and skills of students to understand real problems faced by developing countries. This course introduces economic models within the context of countries and issues so that students who are

taking this course will learn to analyse and engage in ongoing policy debate. An attempt is also made throughout the course to bring the subject alive and providing students with insight into the economy. No prior knowledge in economics is required for this course but strong desire and genuine effort to learn are prerequisites.

ECO384EB, Development Economics, Dermendzhieva, Winter

The objective of the course is to develop the students’ ability to understand the economic problems of the developing countries, to prepare them to propose possible solutions and evaluate alternative policies and measures to combat these problems. The course includes a critical review of the classic and contemporary theories of economic growth, development and underdevelopment. A number of case studies will be used to provide empirical evidence on the theories presented and to illustrate the progress made and the challenges to reducing poverty and inequality in the developing world. We will discuss the role of education, health, agriculture, international trade, globalization, institutions, social capital, foreign investment and aid, as well as pressing environmental issues, in the context of economic development.

ECO385E, Conflict, Aid and Development, Cooray, Spring (Session I)

The course examines the complex nature among conflict, aid and development taking broader perspectives into consideration and ways to achieve development in a sustainable manner. We also critically examine the role of aid in peace building and development. The course is design to produce the following outcomes for course participants. At the end of the course, they will be able: (a) To recognize the root courses for conflict and

violence; (b) To understand the consequences of conflict and

violence; (c) To identify strategies to overcome the conflict-the

precondition for peace; (d) To comprehend the causes of uneven development; (e) To critically evaluate the role of foreign aid in

achieving target goals of developing economies; and

(f) To synthesize social, geo-political, economical and environmental needs and revisit existing development management practices of their own

countries in the context of international cooperation.

ECO386E, Asian Economic Development and Integration, Kawai et al., Spring

This course will provide an overview of the key factors influencing the rapid growth and development of Asian economies since the 1950s, with a focus on developments since the Asian financial crisis (1997/98). It will examine a range of policy challenges that the region has faced and the response of various economies. The course will draw on diverse country, regional, and sub-regional experience to identify policies that seem to have contributed most significantly to growth and development, examine why they “worked,” and how they might be applied in other developing economies. It will consider current policy debates on a host of “hot” topics including monetary policy, regional economic integration, social safety nets, and financial market development and supervision. At the end of the course, students should understand the key drivers of Asian growth and development in the past 60 years and be familiar with a range of ongoing policy discussions likely to influence growth in the region moving forward. Students are expected to attend all lectures and participate actively in class. ECO391E, Experimental Economics, Munro, Fall

Experiments have become one of the main methods economists use to test theories and policy proposals. They are widely used in areas such as regulation, public economics, environmental economics, development and industrial organisation. The approach of experimental economists has changed economic theory and strongly influenced developments in econometric methods. The aim of this course to create a basic understanding of experimental methods and results, suited to PhD students who may be considering writing a thesis in an exciting and rapidly expanding area.

This is an advanced course in microeconomics, emphasizing the applications of mathematical tools and models to the study of individual economic decisions and their aggregate consequences. We begin with a parsimonious set of hypotheses about human behavior and the ways in which individual choices interact, and then examine the implications for markets. This entails treatments and applications of consumer theory and theory of the firm, under the ideal conditions implied by our hypotheses.

ECO601E, Advanced Microeconomics II, Yasuda, Spring (Session II)

This is an advanced course in microeconomics, succeeding to Advanced Microeconomics I (ECO601E) in which we study individual economic decisions and their aggregate consequences under ideal situations. In this course, we extend our previous analyses to incorporate imperfectly competitive market structures, dynamic market competitions, and incomplete information. To this end, we study game theory, a collection of mathematical tools for analyzing strategically interdependent situations. Most of the topics covered in this course parallels to those of Game Theory (ECO290E), but are explained in much more rigorous way.

ECO602E, Advanced Microeconomics III, Sonobe, Fall (Session I)

ECO605E, Advanced Macroeconomics I, Hsu, Fall (Session I)

This course is the first of the advanced macroeconomics sequence that will introduce you to the methods, and some of the issues, of modern macroeconomics. Since this is a fundamental PhD level course, we will focus more on “tools” (rather than topics) so that you can have the ability to read macroeconomic literature and to analyze related economic issues independently. In this term, we will begin with deterministic neoclassical growth theory. Dynamic programming and recursive equilibrium are the tools we will develop to study these models. Simple computational methods for analyzing these models will also be discussed. The theory will be applied to some related questions.

ECO606E, Advanced Macroeconomics II, Esteban-Pretel, Fall (Session II)

GOV210E, Government and Politics in Japan,

Masuyama, Fall

This course covers an overview of Japanese politics, and themes and writings of interest to political scientists. In particular, this course explores how Japanese politics works from three perspectives: (1) voters, (2) politicians, and (3) political organizations, with a special emphasis placed on insights from rational choice models of political behavior. GOV220E, Introduction to International Relations, Iwama, Fall

This course is intended to provide introduction into the study of international relations as well as some understanding of the more recent happenings in global politics. After several introductory sessions, we will examine some of the major past historical junctures to better understand the nature of the change world system is now facing. Thereafter we will examine different aspects of the challenge we are facing and compare different perspectives. GOV221E, Introduction to International Political Economy, Tsunekawa, Spring

The role of the state in rapidly globalizing economy is the main theme in the discipline. In the first half of the course, students are expected to become familiarized with basic concepts and theoretical frameworks which are used to interpret or understand IPE phenomena. In the second half of the course, students will study how various IPE frameworks are applied to the analysis of particular issues such as financial/monetary relations, international trade relations, regional integration, and development in the South. In this course, students are required to read “classical” works in the field in addition to textbook-type materials. GOV223E, Foreign Policy, TBA, Spring GOV224E, International Security Studies, Michishita, Spring

This course is designed to give students an understanding of security issues both in theory and practice. Major subjects of this course include: international relations theories; civil-military relations; force and diplomacy; intelligence; nuclear issues; and assessment of military balance. In investigating these subjects, historical and current security issues concerning

Japan and Korea will be extensively discussed. In this sense, this course can be characterized as a combined course on strategic studies and Asian studies. GOV225E, Chinese Foreign Policy, Yu, Winter

This course has two main goals. The first is to provide the students with a history of Chinese foreign policy since 1949, which has been divided into six periods. This includes basic developments in China’s bilateral relations with other states (particularly with the U.S., the Soviet Union/Russia, and Japan), in China’s relations with other actors in international politics from revolutionary movements to international institutions, and in Chinese positions on global issues such as arms control, trade and environment. The second goal is to apply analytical tools from international relations theory and comparative foreign policy analysis to the Chinese case. These include structural/systemic theories, Neo-liberal institutional theories, cultural and ideological explanations, domestic political factors, and psychological approaches among others. The purpose is to familiarize the students with some of the basic theoretical approaches to the study of state behavior with a view to gauging their value for understanding Chinese foreign policy while seeing how China’s foreign policy is different from others. GOV231E, Comparative Politics, Takenaka, Fall

This is a graduate course on comparative politics for the YLP as well as Security Program.

The course puts weights on discussions based on the readings.

GOV246E, Government and Politics in Southeast Asia, Abinales, Fall

This course focuses on state formation, economic development and state-and-civil society relations in Southeast Asia from the late colonial period to the present. It examines the colonial legacies that shaped these states, and the economic, social and politics tensions they underwent in the post-colonial period. It looks at why certain states were able to develop while others failed. The lectures will be theme-based, but students are expected to study closely the political histories of two countries for their research reports. GOV258E, Structure and Processes of the

Government, Horie, Spring This course is intended to study the systems and

operations of structures and processes of government from comparative viewpoints and to contribute to the reform of government and public administration. Major issues of administrative reform will be discussed from theoretical as well as practical viewpoints.

Relying basically on the framework of comparative analysis worked out by C. Pollitt and G. Bouckert, key features of government and public administration which have much to do with the process and content of administrative reform will be discussed in the course.

While the cases in Japan will be dealt with in detail, based on academic works and practical experiences of the instructor, students are also expected to make a contribution to the discussion by infusing their first-hand information and analysis on the topics of discussion. GOV264E, National Security Policy, Tokuchi, Spring

This course provides an overview of Japan’s national security policy with primary focus on the roles of the Japan’s Defense Forces and on the Japan-US alliance relationship. What will the future course of Japan’s national security look like? How will it be intertwined with the Japan-US security relationship? Through discussions on the basic defense policy of Japan and on some current topics, we will analyze domestic and regional factors behind the policy, in order to have an insight for the future of the security of Japan and the region.

GOV320E, World Trade and Diplomacy, Ohshima, Spring GOV321E, Japan's Strategic Environment: historical perspective, TBA, Winter GOV620E, International Relations, Iwama, Fall GOV625E, Transnational Organized Crime and Security, Fukumi, Fall

This course intends to explore transnational organized crime regarded as the major non-traditional security threat. Since the end of the Cold War, new threats came to recognize in the sphere of Security Studies. To what extent non-traditional security threats differ from the traditional threats? This course will cover issues related to transnational organized crime with the particular emphasis on drug trafficking (for example, the nature of non-traditional security threats, the threats

posed by them and counter-measures), and theories to analyze the phenomena. GOV641E, European International Relations, Iwama, Spring IDS100E, Introductory Mathematics & Economics, Mano & Goto, Fall (September)

The course aims to provide the core principles of mathematics and economics to students who have either not taken introductory economics or taken it some time ago and thus would benefit from refreshing their knowledge. By the end of the term, the students are expected to be ready to take intermediate courses in economics and quantitative methods that will be offered in the regular semesters as core requirements. IDS101E, Microeconomics I, Mano & Suzuki Aya, Fall (Session I)

Microeconomics provides the foundation for modern economic theory and its applications, including development economics. This course is designed to help the students familiarize themselves with the basic ways of thinking in economics and set the stage for a serious study of critical issues in economic development.

This course will primarily study fundamental theories on consumer choice, producer’s behavior, and competitive equilibrium while it also explores some introductory topics of imperfect competition. The materials will illustrate the twin pillars in the economic science, namely rational choice by individual agents and equilibrium formed by mutually compatible individual choices.

We expect you to work hard to understand the basic concepts and the philosophy of economics. The best way to do so is to use theories to solve problems. For this purpose, homework will be provided and answers are discussed in weekly drill sessions. IDS103E, Microeconomics II, Mano & Suzuki Aya, Fall (Session II)

Microeconomics provides the foundation for modern economic theory and its applications, including development economics. This course is designed to help the students familiarize themselves with the basic ways of thinking in economics and set the stage for a serious study of critical issues in economic development.

This course is the continuation of the Microeconomics I (IDS101E). In this part of the course, we focus on cases where markets fail, i.e., when markets

fail to deliver efficient allocation of resources due to various factors. Market failures are common and potentially serious in developing economies as they could trap these economies in low stages of development. We will discuss topics including monopoly, uncertainty, game theory, asymmetric information, externalities, and public goods.

We expect you to work hard to understand the basic concepts and the philosophy of economics. The best way to do so is to use theories to solve problems. For this purpose, homework will be provided and answers are discussed in weekly drill sessions.

IDS202E, Government and Market, Kalirajan, Winter

This course explores what will be the most appropriate economic system to promote development. An economic system is defined as an institutional framework by which competition among people on the use of scarce resources are coordinated. Traditionally, the choice of economic system has been discussed in terms of relationship between market and state, centering on what economic activities should be controlled by the command of the government and what activities should be left to the dictate of voluntary transactions in the market. While following this tradition, this course incorporates community as the third major component of economic system. The market is viewed as the organization that is efficient in producing private goods through free competition, whereas the state is the organization necessary to supply public goods by means coercion. In contrast, the community defined as the small group of people characterized by intensive social interactions is considered efficient in the supply of local public goods through cooperation. The optimum system for economic development may be designed in the appropriate combination of these three organizations. However, what combinations may be appropriate for different cultural and institutional heritages as well as for different development stages are the major agenda of this course.

IDS260E, Finance and Economic Growth, Jeong, Spring (Session II)

The goal of the course is to understand the process of economic growth and development in relation to financial system. This course defines the financial system in a broad and open sense so that financial aspects may include credit, insurance and money. Both theory and empirics are emphasized, which eventually

are to be translated into policy discussions for economic growth.

We first review the basic constructs of growth theories and the stylized facts about them. Then, we study various models where finance matters for economic growth, and review their empirical relevance. For this part of lectures, we may review some empirical methods if necessary.

The class will also discuss the policy and institutional implications of financial system on economic growth.

IDS270E, Quantitative Methods I, Kajisa, Fall (Session I)

The course introduces some relevant cases and lectures’ experience, which enables students to understand how projects are planned, monitored and evaluated in the local context. Some important concepts for project formulation such as participatory development, ownership by stakeholders, institutional development, gender issue, environmental aspects, and appropriate technology will be discussed. The relationship between Project and Program/Policy formulation, MDGs, Aid coordination, harmonization, and Cooperation between the public and private sector will be covered. IDS283E, Environment and Sustainable Development, Otsuka, Spring

By now it is clear that climate change is a major

threat to the welfare of the mankind in the 21st century. This course reviews the prospect of climate change, examines the widely debated and hot issue of whether environment deteriorates with economic development, and considers the desirable “solution” to mitigate climate change. More specifically, we deal with the issues of (1) natural resource management, such as forests, (2) sustainable development of agriculture, particular in sub-Saharan Africa, (3) emission of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) and other pollutants in the course of economic development, and (4) the significance of international agreement to reduce the emission of GHGs), such as the Kyoto Protocol. In each topic, theoretical discussions will be made first, followed by the review of empirical evidence. Final purpose of this course is to consider desirable solutions to prevent disastrous impacts of climate change. This course uses basic tools of microeconomics and econometrics extensively. Therefore, students must have successfully completed the courses of Microeconomics and Quantitative Methods offered in the fall term.

IDS285E, Japanese Development Cooperation, Akiyama, Winter

International development assistance has been undergoing significant changes over the last several years. Among the entire development communities there have been an increased emphasis on policies, institutions, and issues of poverty reduction, governance, and coordination among donors and NGOs. Also since 9/11 international security issues have attracted attentions in the context of development assistance. Japan’s ODA has also changed. The amount of ODA spending has been reduced and, its position as world top leader in ODA in the 1990s has moved to fifth place. In October 2008, new JICA was created which now handles loans and grants in addition to technical assistance. Some changes have been in conjunction with the global trend, and also there is another change designed to meet the challenges for improvement required under stringent financial situation at home and called for by the public. The course will examine the changes, trends and issues in the thinking, approaches and provision of Japanese ODA-both globally and domestically with dynamic world development assistance evolution. In addition, through discussions, the class will explore ways to improve Japanese and global ODA. About one half of the lectures will be given by outside experts.

IDS286E, Poverty Alleviation, Suzuki Aya, Spring

Eradication of extreme poverty and hunger is at the core of the development study and is the first agenda of the Millennium Development Goals. Poverty, however, is a compound phenomenon and achieving the goal requires academic efforts in addition to practical endeavors. Among many, this course explores selective topics that contribute to poverty alleviation. In particular, we examine how agricultural households make choices given exogenous conditions and study empirical findings on how factors such as non-farm income, education, infrastructure, trade, and microfinance contribute to the welfare of the poor. We also examine methods to evaluate the effects of aid programs on poverty. Throughout the course, we emphasize on applying the basic theories of microeconomics and econometric techniques to deepen our understandings on these issues.

Students are required to make group presentations on assigned papers and actively participate in classroom discussions. Through these exercises, students are expected to develop analytical skills to read papers critically as well as communication skills to make logical argument to support their own ideas.
