| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
1.Oral presentation in international conferences: (a) Asian Meeting of the Econometric Society, 2016/08/12, Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan; (b) Asia Pacific Industrial Organisation Conference 2016, 2016/12/03, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia.
2. Domestic workshop oral presentation: Regional Science Workshop, Tohoku University, 2017/3/3.
3.The paper entitled "Is a Big Entrant a Threat to Incumbents? The Role of Demand Substitutability in Competition among the Big and the Small" has been substantially improved.We improved the expression, and explained with more intuition and accuracy. In addition, we also improved the proof.

Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
1. The writing of the current paper goes on smoothly.
2. By several visits and conference presentations, I received valuable and constructive comments from experts in this field.
3. With literature reading and communication with the experts, I also came up with new ideas on the competition among the big and the small, including new issues and a more generalized theoretical framework.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
1. I will complete the current paper, hopefully having it be accepted for publication by a field top journal.
2. I will continue working on the new projects and finishing preliminary drafts.
3. I will present the preliminary results of the new projects in international conferences, such as Asia Pacific Industrial Organisation Conference and Royal Economic Society Conference.
