Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年、国際的な分業が進む中で、各国の相互依存関係が急速に強まっており、最終財貿易に対する中間財貿易の比率が高まっている。1本目の論文では、地球規模での生産工程の細分化が、中間財貿易を通じて、最終財貿易にどのような影響を与えるのかについて分析し、中間財貿易の成長が最終財貿易の成長を促進するかは輸送費等の貿易コストだけではなく、国際的なマッチングのコストも重要であることを検討した。2本目の論文では中間財貿易の政策的含意を考察し、中間財貿易への関税は、輸出国の競争度だけではなく輸入国の競争度に依存することを示し、企業の参入・退出が内生的か外生的かによって大きく異なることを理論と実証の両面で検討した。
