Outline of Annual Research Achievements

This year, I primarily completed the empirical analysis and obtained preliminary results. A working paper draft is nearly finished. Additionally, I invited Professor Ernest Liu from Princeton University to visit Chuo University. During Professor Liu's stay in Japan, we held several research meetings to discuss model construction, key variables, and empirical methodologies. His valuable insights significantly contributed to the improvement of my research.

Current Status of Research Progress

4: Progress in research has been delayed.

Reason

Due to personal health conditions and family circumstances, the progress of my research has been delayed.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

I plan to re-examine the results and conduct additional robustness checks. I also aim to complete the working paper and present the findings at academic conferences and workshops both in Japan and overseas.
