| Research Activities |
We evaluate and propose the countermeasures for global warming from the viewpoint of energy production and utilization. Following are topics that form our main research focus:
1) Evaluation of public acceptance for technology or policies by modeling consumers' preferences based on methods of environmental economics, such as CVM or conjoint analysis1),
2) Analysis of the influence of environmental policies by developing applied general equilibrium models or optimization models of overall energy systems2),
3) Analysis of consumers' behaviors for implementation of environmental labeling based on the life-cycle assessment3).

| Future Plan |
As one step toward solving the global environment problem, I would like to conduct research that supports decision making on environmental policies. It is important to contribute to improving the immediate environment by taking the concept "Think globally, act locally" into consideration.

| Messages to Students |
|
To meet the aim of transdisciplinary education, we have lectures that cover a wide range of environmental studies. In conducting research, however, you should aim to have concrete awareness of the problems and always think about what is necessary to solve problems.
