Background

    I am a Health Economist who has joined Saitama University as a fulltime Associate Professor in the Faculty of Economics and Graduate School of Economics as of April 2015.   My teaching responsibilities include core Economics modules and courses on International Economics / International Trade.    

    Current research focuses on the application and development of Discrete Choice Experiments (DCE).   This is a versatile health economic survey tool used to describe and value both traditional health outcome and also experience / process factors from health care interventions.   The DCE method is particularly relevant for valuing patient services and care at the end of life. This and public health interventions are my main interests for applying choice experiments.
