Keio Economic Observatory

Conducting theoretical and empirical research on economic and industry studies in the context of the existing economic conditions of Japan.

Keio Economic Observatory was established in 1959 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary commemoration of Keio University. Since then, we work for the purpose of conducting theoretical and empirical research on economic and industry studies in the context of the existing economic conditions of Japan.
