Topics in Economics-Introduction to the Japanese Economy
２credits
Lecturer
Mitsuhiko Iyoda
Tentative List of Topics to be Presented
During the past half century the Japanese economy has seen rapid changes and remarkable
progress. What kind of changes have we had in these years? In what sense can we say that we have
had progress?
This lecture focuses on the following three points. First are the bright sides in the economy. Here
we refer to the results of economic growth from various aspects: per capita income, spreading rate of
durable goods, social security, etc. Second are harmful side effects of the economic change. We here
deal with environmental disruption, inflation, income distribution, etc.
Finally we deal with an ideal economy through an assessment of bright and gloomy sides of
economic change during the past half century.
The purpose of this lecture is: (a) to understand the real meaning of economic growth through the
study of the positive and negative effects of economic growth and (b) at the same time to grasp an
overview of the development of the postwar Japanese economy. I hope you will accept the challenge
of a lecture conducted entirely in English. Do not hesitate to attend the lecture. The most important
things are your spirit and regular attendance.

Philip Billingsley
Tentative List of Topics to be Presented
Whenever I get the chance I like to hit the road（旅に出る）to visit somewhere new. I talk to people
living there and find out about their lives, then I bring their stories home and tell them to my
students. This course will be based on some of the stories I have heard in various countries and what
I learned from those stories. 旅先で聴いた「異文化理解」にかかわるストーリーが講義の「ネタ」となる!
日本の学生へ: Although the lectures are in ENGLISH, I will speak very slowly and clearly so, even
if you don't feel confident, please give this class a try! 英語とはいえ、易しい英語だから試してみて
ね！
People usually think their own way of doing things is normal, so when they go abroad they may
suffer from culture shock because everything is so different. But travel to other places is also a way
of broadening your horizons, and a chance to learn about your own culture too. By the end of this
course, I hope, you will understand the world (and yourself) much better, and the Japanese students'
English listening ability will be much better too! 自分の文化のやり方しか知らない人はほかの国の

Tentative List of Topics to be Presented
This course examines the relationship between English (and Japanese) grammar and communication
through looking at the three aspects of language: form, meaning and use. Grammar is simply ‘the
way a language is used. Therefore students will learn about grammar by analysing their own speech
and writing as well as examples of language use by fluent speakers and writers to see how language
users create meaning through making grammatical choices.
Students will learn how to understand language not as a system of rules such as they might have
learned in high school, but as a way of communicating meaning in context. In order to do this they
will record and transcribe interviews with English (or Japanese) speakers and analyse these
interviews to see how speakers make grammatical choices in real life.

of (welfare) economics (#4-10).
(3) to critically discuss the topics which are publicly believed to be true (#11-14).
The aims of this course are
(1) To enable students to get rid of any prejudice against a conventional thought that economics is
always hampering social development or that economists are always ignoring people in society
when establishing economic policies.
(2) To enable students to participate in debates or discussions on current economic and social affairs
with some background knowledge in economics, regardless of their major
Student’s level of proficiency in English does not matter very much in attending the class

3.Notion of a welfare state and social welfare in economics
4.Poverty and income inequality: the differences
5.Poverty: definition and measurement
6.Measurement of income inequality and its interpretation

Tentative List of Topics to be Presented
Whenever I get the chance I like to hit the road（旅に出る）to visit somewhere new. I talk to people
living there and find out about their lives, then I bring their stories home and tell them to my
students. This course will be based on some of the stories I have heard in various countries and what
I learned from those stories. 旅先で聴いた「異文化理解」にかかわるストーリーが講義の「ネタ」となる!
日本の学生へ: Although the lectures are in ENGLISH, I will speak very slowly and clearly so, even
if you don't feel confident, please give this class a try! 英語とはいえ、易しい英語だから試してみて
ね！
People usually think their own way of doing things is normal, so when they go abroad they may
suffer from culture shock because everything is so different. But travel to other places is also a way
of broadening your horizons, and a chance to learn about your own culture too. By the end of this
course, I hope, you will understand the world (and yourself) much better, and the Japanese students'
English listening ability will be much better too! 自分の文化のやり方しか知らない人はほかの国の
