| 研究実績の概要 |
In the second year (FY2014) the project was concentrated on constructing models on human capital with economic structure, education, preference change, environment economics and resource economics. I mainly constructed a few models, which will play important roles in further studies. I have completed some articles. I published 8 papers in peer-review journals and made one presentation in an international conference. For instance, in Zhang (2014) I dealt with relationship between growth and land value change. I built a heterogeneous-households growth model with endogenous wealth accumulation and fixed non-depreciating asset (land) in an integrated Walrasian general equilibrium and neoclassical growth theory. The production side consists of one service sector and one industrial sector. I used an alternative utility function, which enables me to develop a dynamic growth model with genuine heterogeneity. Our model is different from the standard Ramsey-type heterogeneous-households growth models, for instance, by Turnovsky and Garcia-Penalosa, where agents are heterogeneous only in their initial capital endowment, not in preference or/and human capital. I built a model for any number of types of household and provide a computational procedure for simulating model.

理由
In the first two years the project conducted a comprehensive review of the current literature of human capital with education, preference change, environment economics and resource economics and the construction of models of dynamic interactions among capital, environment and resource dynamics. I constructed some models, which will play important roles in further studies. Although I had developed some growth models with environment and resources, these models are not comprehensive as they are built for economies with a single good, a single type of household, single kinds of environment and resources. In these two years, based on my previous models, I mainly dealt with issues related to interactions among growth, human capital, preference change, environment and resources with economic structures. The project also participated in some international conferences to learn from other researchers in the field and to present the project’s results.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
In FY2015 I will concentrate on developing models to explain various aspects of human capital with education, preference change, environment, land distribution, resource, multi-regional and multi-country economic growth and development, heterogeneous households, endogenous capital accumulation and technological change. I will also begin to explore business cycles and economic oscillations. In early FY2015 I will examine oscillations in some of my previous works by applying nonlinear analytical tools. I will also be concerned with land distribution and dynamics of land rents and values. It is a well-mentioned fact that traditional growth theories have not been successfully extended to include endogenous land values within a compact analytical framework because there is no proper economic modeling framework for properly dealing with the complicated interactions in a consistent manner. It is difficult to develop a comprehensive economic theory as it involves highly dimensional dynamic systems which tend to become analytically intractable. The rest of the project will continue to develop an integrated economic theory on the basis on my previous research on nonlinear dynamics, economics growth with endogenous knowledge and economic structure, growth with income and wealth distribution, growth with money, growth with environment, growth with resources, and spatial economics and international economics.
