  • 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.
