Research Outline
Toward a sustainable society, in addition to economic efficiency and growth perspectives, climate change countermeasures and environmental problem-solving perspectives are becoming increasingly important. Corporate management is increasingly required to disclose non-financial information related to esg investment. under such circumstances, the evaluation system for production efficiency of economy and society needs to shift from the conventional system of productivity and production efficiency that relies on output maximization and cost minimization consisting of input factors and output, to a comprehensive and inclusive system that incorporates new factors such as environmental factors. This laboratory is proposing methods to incorporate natural and cultural resources and various environmental factors in the evaluation and analysis of productivity and production efficiency for companies, regions, macroeconomies, etc., by applying econometrics and mathematical models, and is conducting research through empirical analysis using various types of data. We also conduct empirical analyses using various types of data.
