Books&Apps featured our research on the potential economic effects of a hypothetical lockdown of Tokyo’s 23 wards. The article discussed the implications of restrictions similar to those implemented in Europe and North America during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The April 1, 2020 evening edition of Yomiuri Shimbun featured our estimates of the economic effects of a hypothetical lockdown of Tokyo’s 23 wards in response to COVID-19. The study considered restrictions similar to those implemented in Europe and North America.
Hiroyasu Inoue was invited to give a seminar at World Bank headquarters in Washington, D.C., on March 28. He presented his research on estimating the effects of negative shocks propagating through supply chains, with particular emphasis on a Nankai Trough earthquake and the search for effective countermeasures.
This was his second presentation at the World Bank and drew greater interest than his previous visit. After the seminar, he joined Yasuyuki Todo and his students for drinks, although the visit of less than 24 hours left him thoroughly exhausted.
Takumi Hamamoto, a member of the laboratory’s third cohort, completed his master’s degree. His excellent academic performance and research left a strong impression.
Although the graduation ceremony was cancelled because of COVID-19, seeing a student move on to the next stage remained a special occasion for the laboratory.
Hiroyasu Inoue’s book, Co-patenting: An Analytic Tool for Cooperative Research and Development, has been published by Springer Nature.
The book brings together eight previously published research papers on innovation using patent data, with a particular focus on networks—a research theme he has pursued since the early stages of his career.
The January 5, 2020 edition of Yomiuri Shimbun included a figure from Hiroyasu Inoue’s estimates of economic damage in a feature on a Nankai Trough earthquake.
Hiroyasu Inoue presented “Disaster and Countermeasure: Simulation on Nation-Wide Supply Chain Data” at the workshop “Dynamics in Finance and Economy on Economic Networks.”
The workshop was organized by RIETI, the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry, under Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
Jiji Press’s online news service featured our estimates of the economic effects of a Nankai Trough earthquake.
ANN (TV Asahi News) featured our simulations estimating the economic damage from a Nankai Trough earthquake on August 13, 2019.
