"Germany's relative financial health."
　In recent years, Germany has maintained a relatively good fiscal performance despite the impact of the global financial crisis. The focus on Germany's relative financial soundness was not beginning, but was subject to debate every time after the war. It is generally pointed out that one of the main factors behind Germany's relative fiscal health is the conservative financial tradition of Germany. The current research theme is to historically examine the extent to which these generalized discussions are appropriate. Furthermore, one of the major challenges is to draw out implications for Japanese finance through international comparisons.

In specialized exercises, students will discover, analyze, and consider their own "questions", and develop their ability to derive their own answers to "questions". Understand that there are areas of "what you want to do" and areas of "what you can do", and strive to overlap as much as possible. I think that the characteristic of this seminar is that you can experience such an experience.
