Specialization/Discipline
International Economy, International Surplus Capital
Research Topic
Based on my own concept “international surplus capital” which includes bank loan, bond investment, and stock investment, I have conducted a research on historical development of the world economy. I recently have a strong interest in the global financial crisis ignited by the subprime mortgage loan. Dialectics as a basic methodology of social sciences is also my research topic for a long time.
Message for Applicants
When I was an undergraduate student in economics, I organized with my friends a study group for reading so-called “classics” of economics and social sciences. I successfully acquired the ability of reading and understanding tough literatures in my specialty. Applied research could be based only on a basic and painstaking training of this kind. I hope that you would have such an experience in your undergraduate years if you want to study in a graduate school.
