I am a development and regional economist specializing in the links between poverty, growth, and inequality. My research interests focus on the integration of development economics and spatial data analysis to derive policy implications for challenges within subnational regions in Japan and Southeast Asian countries. My current research areas include (1) spatial inequality and development, (2) regional economic growth and convergence, (3) structural change and productivity dynamics, and (4) household expenditure distribution. I conduct empirical studies using regional macro and micro data, and I also teach courses on the statistical software Stata.
