Outline of Research Institute for Economics
Research Institute for Economics is primarily concerned with the following two areas:
First, this institute strongly encourages instructors at Faculty of Economics to conduct research related to economic issues. Japan and the world are now facing a crucial transitional period as evidenced by the rapid progress of information technology and globalization in economy. People are questioning the essential value of economics and it is necessary to examine a new and better direction for our society and lives.

The institute's other task is to forge closer affiliations with the community in cooperation with the Yao Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the City of Yao and its citizens. We currently provide classes to which corporate executives are invited, offer symposia on urban development, and participate in a project that has been designed to utilize vacant commercial property. Since it is important to examine local living conditions in this era of economic globalization, the university feels it has an obligation to make a positive social contribution in the Yao area. As a university open to the community, the potential exists for the creation of new educational and research fields.

The institute collects and collates documents and material on the projects it is involved with and publishes them in Annals of Economics Research.
