      Research Topics, Overview of the research

      • Research Topics

        Labor Economics, Industrial Development

      • Overview of the research

        My main research areas are in labor economics and industrial development— workers, firms, product upgrading, trade, cross-border migration, matching, and cities in developing economies. To get a better and deeper understanding about the process of economic development, my research covers: (1) building relationship specificity, firm-to-firm matching with technology transfers, and acquisitions of managerial capabilities along the local and global production chains; (2) micro empirics and aggregate patterns of firm growth and urban labor markets in developing economies including Japanese historical experiences in the late 19th century. A number of my papers have been focused on firm growth and product/process upgrading with a special emphasis on production chains in Southeast Asia. Recently I am also working on economics of traffic accidents and among other topics to explore improving mobility in developing economies.
