研究概要／Research Overview

発展途上国の貧困削減のためには、人々が自ら安定した生計を立てられる雇用・職業の確保とそのための産業の発展が欠かせないという問題意識から、農業や産業の発展過程に関心があります。産業は雇用を生み、技術を育て、人的資本への投資を促します。雇用は人々に収入をもたらすだけでなく、家族を養うという自信や責任感を生み、社会の安定にもつながります。途上国でどのような産業がどのように興り、どんな人が携わるのか。誰が恩恵を受け、誰が受けられないのか。どのように技術はもたらされ、発展し、伝承されるのか。そのような課題を研究しています。

特に最近は、付加価値の高い農産物輸出産業を中心に研究しています。昨今のグローバリゼーションを背景に、同産業が貧困削減に寄与するかに注目が集まっていますが、同産業は実際にどのように発展しているのか、途上国の農家は恩恵を得ているのか、地域社会にどのような影響があるか等はよく見えていません。それらを特定の産業を例にとって実証分析しています。

研究手法としては、特定の国（主にアフリカ）や産業を対象とし、現地調査を経て仮説を形成し、ミクロレベルのデータ収集（家計、企業レベル等）を行い、計量経済学を用いて仮説の検証を行っています。現在の研究対象は、(1) ガーナの輸出パイナップル産業、(2) ケニア、エチオピアの切り花産業、(3) ベトナムの軽工業における経営研修のインパクト調査等です。

実例を丁寧に分析しながら、それらに関する普遍的な事実を解き明かしていくことは、どんな支援が望ましいのかを考える際にきっと役に立つのではないかと考えています。

Creating employment opportunities and developing industries are essential for reducing poverty in developing countries. I am therefore interested in studying the development processes of industries and agriculture. Industries create jobs, develop technologies, and enhance investment in human capital. In turn, jobs not only enable income generation for people but also induce in them the pride and responsibility of raising their families, which leads to social stability. What types of industries emerge in developing countries and how does this process unfold? In addition, who are involved in and who benefits from the process? Moreover, how is technology introduced, developed, and transmitted? These are some questions I address in my research.

In particular, I have been studying the high‐value export agriculture sector in recent years. In previous decades, this sector has received attention for its potential role in reducing poverty in developing countries. I conducted empirical research (mostly in Africa) examining the development of this export sector, determining who have benefited from it, and identifying its impacts on the welfare of farmers and communities.

My research method involves formulating hypotheses based on fieldwork, collecting micro‐level data (household‐ and firm‐level), and testing the hypotheses using econometrics. My current research topics include (1) the pineapple export industry in Ghana, (2) the cut flower industry in Kenya and Ethiopia, and (3) the impact evaluation of managerial training in Vietnam. I believe that conducting careful empirical analyses based on fieldwork in order to answer these questions and clarify systematic facts will help formulate policies for development assistance.
