In recent years, fields such as econometrics, experimental economics, game theory and finance have been forming a new core of business analysis. There is also an increasing demand for data scientists with a thorough knowledge of artificial intelligence and the utilization of big data. In the Department of Business Economics, we meet the needs of the times by providing advanced education in business analysis based on structured programs.

Research Groups & Research Areas

  • Data Analysis

    Transaction data of the financial industry, big data in marketing - the amount of data available in the fields of business management and economy has been exploding in recent years. Also owing to better computer processing performance, the growth and development of these data are changing social science into a highly empirical area. In Data Analysis, you will learn how to make predictions and discover knowledge useful for business, utilizing artificial intelligence, machine learning, econometrics, computational economics, and other advanced analysis techniques.

  • Economics and Decision-making

    Nowadays, game theory describing the social relationships among people, as well as brain science and psychological methods for clarifying people’s decision-making, provide essential support not just for the science of economics but also for social science in general. In Economic Theory, with a focus on these two frameworks that form the backbone of decision-making science, you will learn methods for theoretically analyzing various problems related to business, including consumer behavior, management organization, competitive strategies for the market, and the like.

  • Financial Engineering

    The substance of decision-making in business management and economy is probably uncertainty. In recent years, the theoretical framework for managing this uncertainty has made significant progress, and empirical methods have been developed in response. In this area, you will learn about finance, financial engineering, financial econometrics and other techniques in order to deal with the uncertainties faced in business.
