She obtained her PhD in Economics from Kyoto University. Her research interests focus on market-based policies to address environmental and climate change challenges. She analyzes the impact of these policies on the economy and the environment from a macro perspective, and studies through an empirical approach on corporate carbon management to respond to these policies. Mainly East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, etc.) is the main research area of her research.<\/span><\/p>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n
