Outline Activities
I have researched economic valuation and optimum usage of non market goods, agricultural land and aquaculture farm depend on nature.
Current researches I am working are as follows;
-To evaluate an environmental load reduction in the reusing system of organic waste treatments
-To research what factors affect to Eco-friendly behavior on the basis of behavioral economics
-To analyze the ripple effects by introduction of new technology on aquaculture industries
Our laboratory including me, has much knowledge about evaluation methodology such as Conjoint analysis, CVM, Life cycle analysis, AHP and so on.
Please join our laboratory!

- We endeavor to clarify the behavior around consumers’ choice for bio-concentrated liquid fertilizer (hereinafter: Bio-CLF), which comes from methane fermentation of digested sludge and promotes the effective use of organic waste such as food residue, sake brewing waste liquid, and waste milk when compared to conventional liquid fertilizer.
We conducted a questionnaire survey of consumers and analyzed the results using a latent class model. This resulted in the 564 consumers being divided into three segments: (1) Innovative technology low evaluation group (40.5%), (2) Bio-CLF accepting group (31.6%), and (3) Organic oriented group (27.9%). The evaluation of Bio-CLF raw materials from group 1 was negative, but positive from group 2. Additionally, in the case of the raw materials that come from consumers’ living areas, about 60% of consumers showed a positive evaluation.
As a future Bio-CLF product sales strategy, we suggest (1) promoting Bio-CLF agricultural products in a way that avoids generating negative images, such as residues, among consumers, and (2) obtaining JAS organic certification for the Bio-CLF technology. - China’s “Agricultural Leading Enterprise Program” (ALEP) could promote the total factor productivity at micro level. Actually, there are many disputes about selective industrial policies at present. Using China Industrial Enterprise Database, this study selects the ALEP as an economic experiment to research whether selective industrial policy is effective. The conclusion is positive after using Propensity Score Matching-Differences in Differences (PSM-DID) to control endogeneity problem. Specifically, the ALEP’s average promotion effect is 4.66%, and the policy could remain effective in the long run. This study further finds that state-owned enterprises could obtain better policy effects compared with non-state-owned enterprises. The ALEP achieves results in tax incentives but could not reduce the financing constraints faced by enterprises, which means there is still a lot of room for the government to execute the program’s financial assistance.
- Unit non-response has been recognized as a potential problem because it may cause the bias in the inference of important parameters. In this research, we investigate the non-response bias in Contingent Valuation (CV) by using Inverse Probability Weighting (IPW). In the application of IPW, however, one of the major problem is the inaccessibility to auxiliary variables. We could deal with this inaccessibility problem when we use internet-based research because it is available that the individual information registered to the internet research company as auxiliary variables. We apply IPW to evaluate consumers' willingness to pay for a grass-fed beef stake
produced by environmentally friendly farming system.
The result in the logistic regression of the response propensity shows that response propensity have the relation to personal income, age, characteristics of family member, use of SNS or video distribution websites, and hobbies. On the other hand, there is almost no difference between the respondents’ mean of WTP and population mean of WTP estimated by IPW. From this survey, there is no evidence that these differences in auxiliary variables between respondents and non-
respondent cause non-respondent bias in the estimation of consumers’ WTP for a grass-fed beef.
