Recent Activities

I was invited by the Senri Life Science Foundation to give a lecture. It was a very meaningful time for me as I had a chance to talk directly with Dr. Kishimoto, a Nobel Prize nominee in the field of drug discovery.
The topic was “Large-Scale Simulation of Economy Using Large-Scale Computers.

“Propagation of Overseas Economic Shocks through Global Supply Chains: Firm-level evidence” was presented as a discussion paper at the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI), an independent administrative agency under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Government.
This paper analyzes the impact of international supply chain disruptions on Japan by adding information on individual firms’ imports and exports to domestic supply chain data.

“Lockdowns Require Geographic Coordination because of the Propagation of Economic Effects through Supply Chains ” was presented as a discussion paper at the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI), an independent administrative agency under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Government.
This paper analyzes how much Japan is affected by international supply chain disruptions by adding information on individual firms’ imports and exports to the domestic supply chain data in COVID-19.

“Establishment-level Simulation of Supply Chain Disruption: The case of the Great East Japan Earthquake” was presented as a discussion paper at the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI), an independent administrative agency under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Government.
In this paper, we present a Bayesian optimization approach to find parameters for a domestic supply chain simulator that can reproduce the Great East Japan Earthquake by integrating not only corporate headquarters but also business office data from the Economic Census, a government statistic.

Our research proposal entitled “Refinement of Large-Scale Supply Chain Simulation Estimates of Economic Damage Caused by Earthquakes and Infectious Diseases” has been selected by the Japan Securities Scholarship Foundation for a research grant program for fiscal year 2022.

Selected as one of the 2021 NISTEP researchers by the National Institute of Science and Technology Policy, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, I gave a lecture.

I feel honored to receive a University of Hyogo, Best Research Activity Award for 2022.
Thank you.

Our research was featured on the front page of the morning edition of the Nikkei Newspaper on October 18, 2022, in an article titled “The Cost of Separating the World’s Factories.

We gave two presentations at the international conference AROB 2023 with researchers of Softbank and Dr. Nobuyasu Ito.
Keisuke Chujo, Tatsunori Seki, Toshiki Murata, Yu Kimura, Tomoaki Sakurai, Satoshi Miyata, Hiroyasu Inoue, and Nobuyasu Ito, “Regional trends in the number of COVID-19 cases”
Tatsunori Seki, Keisuke Chujo, Yu Kimura, Toshiki Murata, Tomoaki Sakurai, Satoshi Miyata, Hiroyasu Inoue, and Nobuyasu Ito, “Prediction of COVID-19 Using SIR and AR models: Tokyo and nation-wide cases”.
