Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, Abe and Watanabe conducted a structural analysis of functional differentiation of universities at the macro (national/local) and micro (university and university personnel) levels, from both qualitative/logical viewpoints as well as through the lens of mathematical (simulation) and statistical models.
The output of a qualitative study result was included in a scholarly book entitled "Envisioning the Asian New Flagship University: Its Past and Vital Future", published by the Berkeley Public Policy Press, as case studies of two universities in Japan. The quantitative study result, which was co-authored by Abe and Watanabe, appeared in the Research & Occasional Paper Series, published by the University of California, Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy. The research has developed into a new joint project with researchers from Korea, Taiwan, and Malaysia and is currently in progress.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の目的は,機能別分化を促進する大学競争システムのメカニズムを解明する新たな経済理論モデルを提起し,数理分析による検証をとおして更なる機能別分化を実現するための課題点を描出することであった。本研究では,独自に構築してきた理論モデルを,実証可能な分析フレームワークとしてデータ解析により検証・実証することを可能とした。競争的ファンディング・スキームによる大学間競争の収斂及び機能別分化された均衡状態に至るプロセスの理論化を図り,計量分析を可能とするインデックスを導入している。本研究成果によって,持続可能且つ多様な大学の在り方と高等教育システムの将来像に新たな政策的示唆を提示できるものと考える。
