Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project aims to bring the structural approach that has been developed in industrial organization to some topics in financial economics, in particular, the hedge fund regulation and consumer payment industry to answer some questions from policy debates. As for the hedge funds industry, I found that when introducing some regulation on the usage of redemption restrictions, some hedge funds that use some particular investment style could no longer yield returns, which leads to lower investment from investors.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究プロジェクトから得られた学術的意義は二つある.一つは,以前から叫ばれているヘッジファンドの規制を行う際に,どのような点に気を付け,仮に導入するとどの程度のインパクトがあるかの定量化を行った点である.従来の分析ではそのようなインパクトの予想は困難であったが,(まだ改善の余地はあるものの)「構造推定」という新たなアプローチを他の領域から持ち込むことで可能になった.二つ目は,今後分析が進むであろう「消費者の決済手段産業」をモデル化する際に,データ上の測定誤差をどのように扱い対処するべきかの方策を開発した点である.
