Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
For the main research I have been conducting at Kochi University of Technology, it took longer than expected to get the response from the peer-reviewed journals. However, now that one of the papers I have co-authored is published, I can better concentrate on the 若手研究 project.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
- submitting the working paper "Does Tokyo Stock Exchange Appreciate Corporate Innovations? Role of Patents’ Quality and Research Productivity" to the peer-reviewed journal
- submitting the working paper (co-authored with Koji Kotani. & Hodaka Morita) "Online productivity and types of assignments in a Japanese workplace" to the peer-reviewed journal
- presenting the paper "Analyzing the 'kaso vote': peripheralization, redistribution, and electoral stability in Japan’s depopulating municipalities" with Hanno Jentzsch (Leiden University) at the EAJS (European Association of Japanese Studies) 2023 conference (Ghent, Belgium)
|
| Causes of Carryover |
Instead of purchasing optional research equipment, I decided to save the remaining funds for travel expenses scheduled for the 2023-24 fiscal year.
