Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tomohiro Machikita:
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tomohiro Machikita is an Associate Professor at the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS), Kyoto University, Japan. He obtained his Ph.D. in Economics from Kyoto University in 2007. He previously held academic positions at the Institute of Economic Research, Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo, and the Institute of Developing Economies (IDE-JETRO) in Chiba, with visiting experiences at Stanford University and Copenhagen Business School. Currently, he serves as the associate editor for The Developing Economies and the Japanese Journal of Southeast Asian Studies (Tonan Ajia Kenkyu) (indexed in SCOPUS).
His research interests include labor economics, industrial development, economic geography, and the integrated approach to Southeast Asia as a region. His publications include topics on the economy of labor focusing on a range of interrelated and transdisciplinary issues around the geography of economic activity and the factors that contribute to workplace hazards. To get a better understanding about the process of economic development, his research covers: (1) building relationship specificity, firm-to-firm matching with technology transfers, and acquisitions of managerial capabilities along the local and global production chains in East Asia and Southeast Asia; (2) micro empirics and aggregate patterns of firm growth and local labor markets in developing economies including Japanese historical experiences in the late 19th century; (3) workplace hazards and traffic accidents to explore improving safer mobility in developing economies.
Submissions and registration are free of charge.
