Based on the experiences of various assignments in the Japanese Ministry of Finance (MOF) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) between 1969 and 1999, I am now engaged in research and education of financial economics; institutional, policy-related and managerial aspects of financial activities. The financial activities on which I focus have been increasingly renovated and remodeled by modern information and communication technological innovations. The post-graduate course of GITS is characteristic of interdisciplinary approach to informatic and socio-economic issues that will fundamentally challenge our life in the early 21st century. My study focuses on Japan's financial developments, including remains of the most recent bubble collapse, emerging IT-related activities and international interactions. Based on the experiences of participating in bilateral government negotiations as well as international economic negotiations at IMF, World Bank, OECD, WHO, and BIS, I have been engaged in economic advice to developing / transitional economies, in particular, Central and South East Asia. My research and study position is dominated by a pragmatic approach, which will be reflected in my lectures and seminars. |
