Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project provided empirical researches for decision making by individuals, households and firms with respect to elder care, based on institutional and demographic background in current Japan. I utilize claims data of long-term care and several other datasets. As a result, I published 3 English papers in peer-reviewed journals and two working papers which are submitted to peer-reviewed journals thanks to this budget. Because there are still many solved research quesions in this field, I continue to conduct a research project under a Grant-in-Aids for Young Scientist (No 18K12804, 2018-2020).
