Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of our project is to investigate the cause and effect of firm competitiveness under international trade and industrial agglomeration. We focus on various aspects of firm competitiveness such as productivity, markup, profits, and product quality. Our project consists of three themes: (1) International Trade and Firm Competitiveness, (2) Industrial Agglomeration and Firm Competitiveness, and (3) Interdependence of International Trade and Industrial Agglomeration. In all these themes, we have published our papers in refereed journals and books, and presented our studies at academic conferences. Several papers are published in top field journals such as Journal of Public Economics and Journal of Urban Economics. In addition, we could hold the international workshop, EHESS-Keio workshop, in Paris in February 2018 one-and-half years earlier than we planned.
