For Those Who Would Like to Join Us

Seminar members are required to choose their research theme by themselves. This is because researches are intrinsically motivated by researchers themselves. Exceptionally, specific instructions of research theme may be given for the students who do not go onto Ph.D. program (Doctor Course). Please have a look at the Research section at this web page. You can find Tamai's research output including collaboration with seminar members. Carefully check the compatibility between your research theme and ours.

About Me.

I am specialized in Public Economics (Applied Theory) and have studied the issues including the relationship between economic growth and public capital accumulation, optimal provision of public goods, optimal redistributive policy, and tax competition.
