Ph.D. (Economics)Research Projects
My research focuses on modeling social and economic phenomena using game theory and verifying them through experimental economics. In particular, I have been interested in and researching issues such as bounded rationality stemming from limitations in computational power and information, social preferences like altruism and reciprocity, mechanism and design problems, and methodological and philosophical issues in experimental economics.
The appeal of research
Economic research tends to be theory-driven, making empirical verification difficult. However, the fascinating aspect of economics is the ability to engage with real-world situations and refine theories through laboratory experiments, field experiments, and computer simulations. Furthermore, the opportunity for collaborative research with related fields such as psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence is also appealing.
Achievements
Regarding bounded rationality, we applied qualitative response equilibrium (QRE) and Level K theory to extensive-form games (cheap talk game and centipede game).
Regarding social preferences, I extended the theory of crime avoidance.
Regarding mechanism design, we have conducted empirical experiments on incentive-compatible mechanisms such as pivotal mechanisms, as well as matching for public works bidding and school choice systems.

Research Contents
Game theoretic modeling of social and economic phenomena and its experimental evaluation. Particularly, game theoretic model of bounded rationality and social preferences (altriusm and reciprocity), experimental analysis of mechanism design, and methodology of experimental economics.
Attractive Factors of My Research
Experimental economics is a rapidly growing field of research in economics. Combinining laboratory experiment, field experiment, and computer simulation, validity of game theoretic analysis is investigated. Collaboration with psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence is also conducted.
Achievements
As for research of bounded rationality, quantal response equilibrium (QRE) and level-k model are generalized to extensive-form games (cheap talk games and centipede games). For social preferences, guilt aversion model is refined. Finally, in the mechanism design problem, incentive compatible mechanism (pivotal mechanism), procurement auction, and school choice problem are investigaed experimentally.
