ProfessorKASHIWAGI, Masanori
My fields of interest are macroeconomics and international macroeconomics and, at Gakushuin University, I teach courses in these fields. As an instructor and mentor, I offer students scope for understanding and analyzing issues of the global economy and society, making the most of my wide-ranging international experience. Prior to joining Gakushuin University, I was a Ph.D. student in the United States, a postdoctoral fellow in Italy, and a faculty member in Taiwan.

I teach several courses in macroeconomics and international finance. In each course, I explain not only economic theory but also how theory helps to account for empirics referring to newspaper articles and data. Organized in this way, my courses aim to assist students to analyze the macroeconomy and financial markets using a theoretical framework.
