This course for doctoral program students aims abilities in research question setting, mode formulation, and model analysis. In addition, this course aims to foster the ability of conducting quantitative and empirical research using a simulation approach. This course also covers the mechanics of academic writing and paper publication, such as organizing research papers and understanding the paper review process. Almost all the materials are English materials.
Due to Covid-19 spreading, in 2022, this course is offered as the real-time online course using Zoom. The schedule is subject to change.

Read the assigned reading materials before each class. The materials are downloadable via the YNU education assistance system. Since the class offers various assignments, such as paper reviews, paper presentations, and research idea presentations, the class contents should be carefully reviewed after each class. In particular, students should make a real effort to develop a research idea using a computer simulation method.

This course is composed of lectures, discussions, exercises, and presentations enabling the students to master the ability to undertake research using a simulation method. The seminar-type classes offer a variety of assignments to the students. Students are highly expected to actively participate in all the activities. Teaching language is basically Japanese, but there is a case that English is used. All the reading materials and articles are English ones.

This course focuses on the development of research skills, in particular the skills of writing an academic paper that will be accepted by an academic journal. In 2021, this course will be offered by real-time online teaching using Zoom. The schedule is subject to change. I expect students to actively participate in all the course work by assuming you are a junior researcher.
