Message

My research interests center on economic system theory, especially the study of various forms of firm organizations in market economies. Economic system theory focuses on how economic activities relate to each other in society and the way of grasping and comparing economic systems as a whole. To get over the (market-or-state) dualism is one of the most important subjects in contemporary economic systems research and it is my long-term research theme.
