ECONOMIC SCIENTISTS IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER DISCIPLINES

The core staff are economic scientists. We deal with various social and economic science issues, especially on public policy and risk management. Economics is the center of our research, but we have been trying to expand our research to other disciplines, such as, business administration, data science, psychology, and public administration.
