| 研究実績の概要 |
During this year, I focused on writing a paper. I examined two economic self-interest hypotheses of the determinants of public attitudes towards immigrants: (1) labor market hypothesis, which states that the employment and wage impacts of immigration determine public attitudes and (2) the welfare state hypothesis, which states that natives negatively perceive immigrants for fear of straining the country's welfare budget. The first hypothesis predicts that natives' education will affect pro-immigrant attitudes more positively when the immigrants are from lower-income countries. The second hypothesis predicts that natives' income will affect the pro-immigrant attitudes more negatively when the immigrants are from lower-income countries. I use the Japanese General Social Survey, which asks respondents' tolerance toward immigrants from different countries, allowing us to remove the unobserved individual characteristics in a fixed effect estimation. My results show no difference in education and income effects on pro-immigrant attitudes regardless of whether immigrants are from high- or low-income countries. I conclude that economic self-interests do not explain Japanese public attitudes towards immigrants.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
I submitted to a journal but it was rejected. My plan for this year is to revise the paper according to the suggestions from the referees, and then resubmit to another academic journal. One interesting suggestion was to emphasize the fact that the economic self-interest hypotheses are tested by using Japanese data. Majority of the studies on this topic has used either US data or European data, and these studies have mostly rejected these hypotheses. It would be interesting to see if the same is true in Japan. I was also suggested to use other proxies for labor market competitiveness, such as perceived likeliness of losing a job and perceived ease of finding a new job. I plan to revise my paper by incorporating these suggestions.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
There was a restriction on domestic as well as international movements. Therefore I could not hold research meetings and I could not participated in international conferences as planned.
