My interest lies in the relationship between poverty and risks of socioeconomic factors and environmental changes in developing countries, as well as informal rural institutions (e.g., mutual help customs) that can address poverty. Econometric analyses using micro data at the household and individual levels are the primary research methods; however, it is worth emphasizing that fieldwork is significantly important for our research. I believe that by engaging in household surveys and other related activities, we can gain valuable insights into the actual circumstances on the grounds that may not be readily apparent through the analysis of numerical data alone. Such insights, in turn, can enable us to achieve greater depth and clarity in our research findings.
