Yutaro Kimata | PhD Student in Economics

About

I am Yutaro Kimata (木股悠太郎), a PhD student in Economics at Nagoya City University. My research is in international trade, with a particular interest in trade policy and its effects on trade patterns and economic welfare. I use structural gravity models and applied general equilibrium analysis to examine these questions.
