Empirical Studies on Corporate Financing in Japan

本研究使用企业层面的数据，对日本的中小企业融资进行了一系列实证研究。在知名学术期刊上发表了三篇文章，并出版了一本书（日文），我担任共同编辑和撰稿人之一，并获得了2009年中小企业最佳学术出版物奖。本研究的课题包括抵押品和个人担保的决定因素、90年代末和2000年代金融危机期间公共信用担保的有效性、以及对日本“失去的十年”期间企业融资效率的评估。

I implemented a series of empirical studies on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) financing in Japan using unique sets of firm-level data. Three articles were published in renowned academic journals and one book (in Japanese) which I served as a co-editor and as one of the contributors was published and received a prize for the best academic publication on SMEs in the year 2009. The topics covered in the research include the determinants of collateral and personal guarantees, the effectiveness of public credit guarantees during the financial turmoil in the late 90s and yearly 2000s, and an evaluation of the efficiency of corporate financing during the "lost decade" in Japan.
