This is an international finance course for undergraduate students. We will cover the monetary or macroeconomic side of international economics, such as the determinants of the exchange rate and the effects of monetary policy. The first half of the course will be devoted to the exchange rate and open-economy macroeconomics. In particular, we will learn how the exchange rate is determined. Then, in the last half, we will look at international macroeconomic policy as well as exchange rate policies in developed and developing countries. We will study how policies work, and what kind of policy is desirable.
This course is designed to assist students to explore various topics underlying international development from both theoretical and methodological perspectives. We particularly focus on the human capital accumulation which is regarded as a driving force of economic development.
In this lecture, the students will learn intermediate-level microeconomics. Assuming that introductory-level microeconomics has been already studied, the lecture focuses on the foundations for advanced economic theory. The lecture begins with a review of the scope of microeconomics. The analysis of economic agents engaging in economic activities follows. The model of consumer behavior is presented, which facilitates the understanding of the concept of demand. The lecture moves on to the analysis of firms, another type of players in economic systems, to introduce the concept of supply. Economic transactions are basically the result of balance of supply and demand. A key conception is “equilibrium.” Its implications to social welfare are discussed in detail.
How and why did music evolve? Why is it found in all human cultures, but in such different forms? This course will review the state-of-the-art in scientific research about the biological and cultural evolution of music and musicality in both human and non-human animals. Students will propose original articles to read and take turns leading discussions of them. Evaluations will include short weekly reports about the week’s reading, in-class presentations, and a final report.

The objective of this course is to understand the ‘trajectory’ of Japan-US Relations through historical analysis. The course will cover the period since Commodore Perry first came to Japan to the present. However, it will not simply be a history of state-to-state relations but more on how people in Japan perceived American presence in the Asia-Pacific region. The course is intended to explore and understand modern (近現代／KINGENDAI) Japan through the prism of Japanese perception of the US.
This course is to explore the role of nuclear weapons in international politics, looking at history, strategy, regional situations in Asia and Europe, as well as nuclear arms control and the relationship with ballistic missile defence. Nuclear weapons have affected our life and international politics since the weapon was first used in Hiroshima. Understanding nuclear weapons is therefore central in understanding the nature of international politics and security.

Why does scientific advice on nutrition keep changing? Does hydroxychloroquine cure coronavirus? How can we tell the difference between a scientific breakthrough and fake news? And how can a budding scientist do exciting research that will save the world and land you a job without following in the footsteps of the fraudsters and spin artists who have been taken down by scientific scandals? This course will look closely at some of the worst examples of science gone wrong from across all disciplines, including RIKEN’s faked stem cell images, the over-hyped “Mozart effect”, scientific racism in IQ and skull measurements, and Excel errors in GDP:debt ratio calculations. Taught by someone with first-hand experience both with using open science and with retracting a high-profile journal article, we will have frank discussions about the perverse incentives that select for unethical science practices and how we might fix them.
This course provides an introduction to learn how to prevent or mitigate natural disasters, especially those related to a large earthquake.
You will briefly learn the mechanism of hazards (earthquakes and tsunamis), and the disasters caused by those natural phenomena.
You will also see the limitations of disaster sciences or hardware preparedness such as sea walls, and so the importance of education and communication.
The goal of this course is to summarise what you learned and find a research topic to work on with your group members.
By the end of this course, you will properly present what to do for disaster prevention based on your research. You will also be able to give advice to your friends on how to live and behave in an earthquake-prone country.

This course is to discuss the nature of international business by referring to case study materials. The students read the case before the class, write a short report, and participate an active discussion facilitated by the course instructor.
The case is selected to cover all the important issues around international business, as well as major industries and regions. Topics covers: supply chain, distribution chain, organisation and strategy, new entrant, M&A, competition with local firms, collaboration with local firms, low cost distribution, low cost business model, and Japanese business overseas. Most of the case are less than 10 years old and will constantly be updated.
The students read the case study, which typically is 10-15 pages in English, and write a A4-1page report to answer the questions given by the instructor. Depending on the class size, one group may give a presentation of the overview of the case, and then the class moves to an active discussion session facilitated by the instructor.

We will look at the theoretical frameworks in behavioral economics and sciences and its relations to public policy. Students will be encouraged to work in groups to realize a project based on the concepts acquired.
Since this course has not been held for the past few years, we will first look at the theoretical frameworks in behavioral economics and sciences and its relations to public policy. Students will be encouraged to work in groups to realize a project based on the concepts acquired.
