- 【Message】
- My research focuses on the empirical elucidation of economic development and sustainability through advanced econometric methods. I aim to establish a unique interdisciplinary approach that integrates the analysis of "human internal mechanisms" (neuroscience) with "social structures" (economics) to address global challenges.
