Introduction

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. Through this department’s small group instruction, we cultivate quantitative and qualitative thinking skills, creativity and high ethical standards to develop the following type of students.

• People with a deep understanding of statistics and data science who are capable of exploiting data analysis and prediction and discovery techniques and applying them to problem resolution in the fields of economics and management.
• People capable of scientifically elucidating market structures and analyzing human decision-making from both theoretical and empirical perspectives underpinned by an in-depth understanding of economics.
• People with extensive knowledge of finance who are also capable of conducting a broad- ranging analysis of financial markets and human financial behavior, and able to apply that knowledge and those techniques to financial practices.
